I have flashed an stock kernel with Flashtool , then rooted the device with this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/development/e6853-root-unlocked-bootloader-t3255039
I had the Romaum custom rom, but now if I try to flash it, then the phone keeps rebooting every time after the Xperia Logo, also if I restore a Romaur backup same thing happens.
I have the bootloader unlocked and TWRP Bootloader
What am I doing wrong?

Flash Aur-Kernel-V4.0 (make sure to use one for device) or Zach kernel (1_9_4 works very well at the moment, newest ones are a bit unstable, but you can test them for yourself and see, this one works great for me with RomAur 4.2.1) and you should be able to boot...might bootloop a few times at first but let it do its thing....
Stock modified kernel never worked for me with that rom
Is doesn't work with any custom ROM, after the XPeria Logo, screen blackout and red light blinks 4 times before shutting down. :crying:

What rom and kernel, twrp version and superSU version are you trying to use?
When and if you get to the blinking red led...don't force stop the phone, just let it bootloop as many times as it wants, it should load at some point, seen it happened before....
Okay, my fault.
I was using and old version of boot.img and twrp.
Here Works:

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck
the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!
Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....
same problem here
To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.
Have installed "Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL™2.7 <OTA> LiquidSmooth - UltimateX" on my acro's works great but if I restart the phone, it doesent boot no no system installed it says and it doesent start. Then I have to reinstall again., And there is no problem at first start but if turn it off it will be the same error again, why? The phone i rooted and bootloader is unlockt.

I had problems trying to flash roms/backups of my rom from CWM recovery with 2.7. Gets to the Sony logo then stops. Similar problem?
Does it happen every time you install?
What Kernel do you use?

Yes so far it happens everytime. i get to the sony logo then it stops and shows a triangle. I have to start all over again with flashing the programe the funny thing is the first time after flashing it starts as it should but when i try to restart the device it dont boot no system installed it says i use the kernel that comes with the program cobratos
This happened for my Xperia SL few times. But the problem vanished with reinstalling.
Anyway try with formatting date,cache etc. If it won't work, flash the default FTF and try again.
Good Luck..

Finaly got it to work installed stock firmware 211 with flashtool. Then flashed kernel with cwm and twrp with flashtool . Then used twrp to flash trinity rom wiped everything first , and after installation wiped dalvik.
After that everything works even after a reboot of the device :laugh:
Hi All,
Sorry for the noob post, first time 'modding' my Acro S, but I have flashed lots of rom's on my old Xperia X10.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery today, and since doing that I have not been able to boot my phone past the Sony logo, it just reboots. I have tried to install a couple of ROM's but neither boot (Existenz Ultra & Emerald Smooth. Emerald Smooth fails with status 7 error, Existenz Ultra says it installs but still no boot. Also tried Honami rom but download always fails between 89% and 92%, tried 3 times). i also can't power off the phone, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried to repair my phone with PC Companion but it won't work due to the unlocked bootloader.
I would really like to install a stable custom rom as I found the stock rom had alot of lag, but at this stage I just want to get the phone working again! Can anyone guide me to which kernel files to install which include the latest cwm, how to install them and suggestions of which rom to use?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
To turn off your device, press and hold the volume up+power button combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be powered off. You can now connect it to your pc in flash mode. Please use Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the stock rom as your bootloader is unlocked. Once the flash procedure is complete, normally turn on your device and it should boot up properly. After that, you will have to flash a custom kernel like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309117
Then you can flash any custom rom in cwm.

So, I got an used Xperia ZL. The person who sold me this said he installed an international firmware, 4.3 and after installing SuperSU I noticed the device is rooted (and bootloader is locked). Now, I want to install a custom ROM but I cannot access Recovery mode! When phone starts there is no LED, pressing volume up does nothing, I installed Quick Boot, clicked restart on recovery but it does nothing. I even tried ADB boot recovery but the phone just restarts normally. What can I do?? I'm going crazy with this phone. Thanks for the help!

which build did you install it? if you did first install you need custom recovery from your rom and then you can install cm to your devices.
first you need FOTA Recovery for your primary recovery, see in this thread for installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58515383&postcount=1
. i suggest you to install twrp version 2.8.7.0 and turn on your device, after that connect it to your pc via adb and do dd if command.
after complete, restart your phone and go to recovery mode and you can flashing safely without any worries again
if you have any question just ask me again

As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...
(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, because stock kernels doesn't support extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )

I tried this recovery. Nothing changed...my phone still crashes when the cyan LED appears...
But I've noticed that the Sony Update Center want to update my phone to 15.4.A.1.9 even if that´s the firmware that im using. I´ll try to find another .ftf and report if its working or not
Edit: Nope, still wont work
