I just unlocked the bootloader with the code from Sony Website. When i boot, it showed the waves from a normal booting, but it doesn't start. I waited like 20-30 minutes and nothing. Then i flashed TWRP using Flashtool as an Kernel. Now, when i boot, it brings me to TWRP and if i reboot system the same thing. I don't have an backup, because i thought that after unlocking, it will boot up normal.
Flash Stock Rom through Flashtool (you need an older Release). Boot your Phone.
Then Boot into fastboot (shutdown the device and Connect it to your pc with vol- pressed, Blue led Turns on) and Flash the Boot.img from your Rom .zip. then Reboot into Recovery and Flash the Rom. Then let it Boot, activate root Access, install twrp Manager from Play Store and install twrp through that.
Twrp is a recovery Image (in our case, an Image for an unused Partition called fota) and Not a Kernel.

Hello,
so today I've successfully unlocked my BL and wanted to install cm11.
I've downloaded appropriate files, succesfully flashed the boot.img via fastboot. But when I tried rebooting to cwm (while holding vol up button), after Sony logo I only get black screen.
There's no way for booting anything.
I don't want to reflash stock firmware again... what's the matter? Why can't I boot into CWM and install cyanogenmod?
Just to be clear: not only does the cwm not boot, neither does the system.
Jesus christ. Never mind. I got a brain-fart and didn't follow proper instructions. Happens even with the best
Which phone did you have

I recently bought an Oneplus 3 and wanted to root it, I succesfully unlocked my bootloader but when I try to flash TWRP and then load into the recovery mode the phone shows the oneplus logo for a few seconds and then turns itself off (even though ADB said it was succesfully flashed), when I reboot and go into recovery in brings me to the stock recovery.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
I previously had TWRP running on my Oneplus 3, at the first boot of TWRP I selected 'Read Only' because I saw that in a video, I couldn't flash a certain rom thats why I tought I had to update my TWRP, does this have something to do with it?
Anyone?
Don't let it boot into system. Fastboot TWRP, unplug your phone, boot into recovery manually (power + volume down).
In TWRP, select reboot system and it will apply a fix before it reboots and it should stick then.

This is universal: After flashing OEM ROM, don't boot into system. Boot into recovery, you will get into TWRP and from there boot into system. Or after flashing OEM ROM, flash Magisk and then boot into system.

Yeah, what he said. You can reboot recovery from TWRP and TWRP will patch it or you can flash magisk and it will do the work. What you can't do is flash TWRP and then boot directly to system because the stock recovery will be restored. Realistically do both, reboot recovery and then flash magisk for the win. I congratulate you on searching BTW, this thread is more than 2 years old. You may want to consider perusing the appropriate section for your other device. If it's a newer device with AB you will have some specific procedures to follow relating to that.
Hi all,
I have been trying to flash a custom ROM on my Z1C, but I can't even get to any recovery screen. My power button does not work so I can't use the Power + Volume combo to get to recovery. I can get into both Fastboot and Flashmode. I have tried multiple different versions of TWRP but when I try to boot, the phone gets stuck on either the Sony logo, or on a blank screen. I have tried using both fastboot boot twrp.img, and flashing the image, both with the same results. From Flashmode, I can restore the original firmware with Emma and the device works perfectly. Any advice on how I can boot into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You can download an app from the playstore where you can boot into recovery. Or use developer settings and advanced reboot.
My device is an Xperia Xa1 Ultra G3223.
Long story short, I was on rooted Android 7.0 with magisk v16 or 17 don't remember and TWRP. I was unable to update my firmware using the system so I used XperiFirm to get the latest firmware from my carrier. I used flashtools to built a .ftf for branding I wrote Sony and version I put 48.1.A.2.101. I did a factory reset then flashed it.
Now I can boot into android no problem but if I try to enter recovery it just reboots into android using adb reboot recovery. And if I try to use adb reboot-bootloader it just boot loops and the only way I can get out of it is to hold vol down to enter flash mode and reflash my .ftf. I tried using flashtool to enter fastboot but it still boot loops.
Now I'm at a loss for what to do. I was going to try and flash a kernel and recovery from another thread here but I cant do that. Is there a way to flash a kernel/recovery without fastboot or something ?
Thank for any help
Ok well i finally got it working again! I tried using Emma and that updated me to 116 but i was unable to get to the bootloader. Funny enough i unplugged my phone from the usb hub i was using and plugged it directly to my pc i was able to get to the bootloader. So i re flashed 101 and then flash a kernel and a recovery and all is good now no more bootloop when i try to go into the bootloader.
So my phone has been lagging a whole lot using the stock rom and I have decided that I'll try a custom rom to see if that changes anything. So I came here and saw this forum:
"https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1/development/half-gsi-oreo-8-1-t3902259"
I thought I'll try and so I unlocked my bootloader, only to have my phone be reset (not a problem, everything was backed up). It also boots with a warning "Device unlocked and can't be trusted".
Then I went on to download TWRP using this link in that post: "https://mega.nz/#!FQFXCYSY!DgxQRkaY1Eqq3B0fZLEQBNzUs0Zj80L6IzSHxdorQ3A" which is the TWRP 3.3.0.0 V2 IS FOR ALL USERS.
I didn't want to flash in the event it was the wrong recovery so I tried booting into it, fastboot boot recovery.img
It flashed, everything was ok and now the phone doesn't boot. It stayed in a boot loop. I went ahead and flashed recovery this time, no luck. Downloaded a recovery.img from another website and it didn't allow me to boot to android or recovery.
Is there a way to save my phone, I can't get another phone until August due to contract. It can still boot to fastboot and gets stuck when trying to boot to android. It being able to boot to fastboot makes me think theres a chance to flash a stock rom or any custom recovery and rom to get the phone working again. Any help? Thanks!

OK use the boot.img and recovery.img made by @janjan HERE. Under the heading ¨Downloads¨ see ¨Xperia XA1¨ and download the KERNEL + RECOVERY the boot.img and recovery.img are compatible with the G3121-G3112-G3125-G3116-G3123 devices on the applicable firmware.
Flash BOTH using fastboot. The boot.img is patched to allow TWRP to boot which it will never do using the stock boot.
If you wish to go back to stock then simply use FlashTool to flash the stock fotakernel.sin and boot.sin contained in the firmware for your device.
Does it works becouse I boot my g3116 from flashtool camand was
Fastboot boot boot.img and then also it's stuck into bootloader
