I'm sorry to say that, but you're still in the wrong place, you need to go there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/help
Anyways, did you flash the correct kernel? Or did you just try to flash a recovery?

St.Jimmy,
I am a first time member, joined only yesterday (that is after my tail caught fire!); sorry to be still in the wrong place. Could moderators please relocate my post to the right location? Thanks a million to this wonderful site.
Thanks for the reply. I think installing CWR required flashing a "boot.img" file. The device gave up its ghost after flashing the boot.img file. As of now, there seems to be a slight improvement -- there is a red LED indicator that has come on when put to charging; it is faint, but it is there alright! Any chances of resurrection or is my phone really gone to its Heavenly Kingdomo?

I suggest u first charge it for 1-2 hours and then try using flashtool

Kedar,
Thanks. I have charged my phone overnight (10 hours). Still LED glows red. For a while I could connect in flashboot mode (LED=blue). Any help?

I can now sometimes connect in flashboot mode; flashtool initially recognizes the phone but when I try to flash a stock ROM, asks the phone to be connected (as if it has not already recognized the phone)! HELP PLEASE!!

might have a solution for the recovery if the fastboot is working
download minimal adb and fast boot from here
place boot.img in minimal adb and fast boot folder after installation
Put your phone in fastboot( hold power up key and plug usb)
open minimal adb and fast boot application
it will open a cmd window
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
after that type fastboot reboot
your phone will restart now
PS: your phone is refusing to boot because the recovery is corrupted

What if you fastboot a custom kernel with inbuilt recovery and then flash a Rom with the recovery?
Since you have fastboot working

You may try the method by @androidtweaker mentioned above as it is similar :thumbup:

First, what exactly did you flash to your phone and where did you get it from?

Androidtweaker1: Thanks. Cannot connect in fastboot mode. The blue LED comes on but the device is not recognized (adb drviers etc. no problem, all correctly installed, all set).
kedar: cannot connect in the fastboot mode. See reply to Androidtweaker1 above. Thanks
kingvortex: Thanks. I was trying to follow the following tutorial:
After downloading Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip, place it in external SD Card of your smartphone
Now extract Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now turn off your smartphones completely
Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
It will flash boot.img file on your device
Now unplug the device and boot it up
As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”
Now select the storage you have put that zip file in and just confirm its installation
There are two ways to navigate in this CWM recovery
You can navigate with volume buttons and make a selection with power button
Another way of navigating is by swiping your finger on empty area in recovery
Swipe up to move up, swipe down tp move down, swipe right to make a selection and swipe left to go back
After installation is complete, go back to main menu and reboot your smartphone
Congrats! You have successfully installed CWM custom recovery on your smartphones

I have a similar situation and I'm stuck.
Q: is working the minimal adb if in the settings was not checked the debug mode?
In my case I can go in fastboot mode each time but not help.
When I try to go in flash mode, there is strange because the flashtool say it it connected in flash mode , even the PCC say this, but the LED it's not green, is off, first is try to go green after get red and after off, but the software say is in flash mode.
I can try to flash any ftf, it's working without erors but my phone it's still dead after restart, even SONY logo is not appear, just vibrate once.
Other strange think, each time when I made a new flahing, there is a status message of device, it say that the version of ftf is 230 even if last time I was tring to flash 101 for ex and was finished without errors. Always show the same ftf version like nothing is changing inside. The only thing can change is the BL, lock or unlock and I can see this in the status device, this is made in fastboot mode and there I have the blue LED.
Can anybody give me some ideeas to fix this?
have the log of flahtool attached.
Thanks.

Hey, have you already solved your problem? I had the same as you and I could fix it, I will try to submit a post here explaining the steps I followed

I solved but in other way. I bought another Zl with the battery dead and I replaced the motherboard. I have it now working from gew months without any problems. The old motherboard is still broken.

Unlocking/Relocking Bootloader/Kernel/Root/ROM

Unlocking/Relocking Bootloader
Install Kernel (CMW)
Install Root
Install custom ROM
I've made this tutorial because I haven't found all, complete and put together information regarding fully debugging Xperia M phone. And now that my phone is up and running beautifully I can share my experience.This is all the info in one place, for any problems you may encounter during rooting/installing custom roms.
First you will need the following (you have the link attached to this thread):
Download and install FlashTool - Linux version is recommended. I never could use all the FlashTool options and drivers on Windows (XP and 8). Do not use Sony Flashtool, Emma - it's rubbish. Don't use any other software that promise to root/unlock bootloader with one click.
Download kernel
Download SuperSU
Download drivers for windows - if you're doing this on Windows (not recommended). For Linux you know need no additional drivers. You can also find drivers in FlashTool folder at c:/FlashTool/Drivers.
Download ROM and Apps
Download FTF original firmware
Note: Final FTF download is not necessary if you're not in bootloop or don't have any other bricking problems.
Step 1. Unlocking bootloader.
Warning: Do not use the official Sony method because this will cause your phone to enter in bootloop. In case your phone is already bootlooping see below.
- Install all the drivers and then start FlashTool.
- Power off phone
- Connect USB cable to PC. With the phone powered off keep pressing the volume up button while plugging the other end of the usb cable into the phone. Now your phone is in bootloader mode and the blue led is on.
- Press the BLU button in FlashTool
- Choose the correct phone model (Xperia M) from the list. Double click on it.
- Your phone's IMEI will be automatically be copied into FlashTool, all you need to do is hit Unlock.
- You can then disconnect your phone from PC and boot it up. Now your bootloader is UNLOCKED.
Step 2. Flashing Kernel.
- Power off phone.
- With FlashTool running connect the USB cable to PC
- Now you will have to put the phone in FLASHMODE: this time you will hold the DOWN volume button while plugging the other end of the USB cable into phone. The led will be off. Now you're in FLASH MODE.
- Click on the thunder button in FlashTool, select Fastboot
- Click on Select kernel to flash and from the open windows, on the bottom, select the .img file type.
- Choose one of the kernels you've downloaded in the above link.
- Flashing will be made automatically. You can now manual restart your phone or choose Reboot into system option from FlashTool.
- Your recovery is now installed. You can enter into recovery by pressing 2 TIMES very quickly the DOWN or UP volume button at boot when the purple led is on. Depending on the kernel, you will have to use either the Up or Down volume button.
Step 3. Rooting.
- Copy the SuperSU on SD card
- Enter recovery mode
- Install from zip
- Done
Step 4. Install custom ROM and Apps.
- Copy ROM image and Apps zip on SD card
- Enter recovery.
- Wipe all data, cache and Dalvik
- Install from zip, first ROM and then Apps.
- Optional, depending on the ROM, you can choose during Rom setup if you want to keep the kernel or install another one.
IN CASE YOU'RE IN BOOTLOOP (phone restarting over and over again or boot image stays on forever without the phone completing bootup).
This can happen if you have used the official Sony bootloader unlocking.
To fix the problem you will have to re-lock your bootloaded, flash the original firmware and then unlock the bootloader again using the correct way (FlashTool).
Relocking the bootloader is the same as unlocking (see Step 1), but instead of Unlock button you will have the Relock button.
The you will have to flash the original firmware (see download list).
- Power off and disconnect your phone from PC.
- With FlashTool runing connect USB cable into PC
- Copy the FTF file into c:/FlashTool/firmwares
- Press the thunder button in Flashtool and choose Flashmode. You will see the image you just put in /firmwares in the list. Choose it and hit FLASH.
- FlashTool will prepare the firmware. In a few minutes you will be asked to connect the phone in FLASHMODE. (Connect usb cable while presing the volume Down button)
- Now flashing will start automatically. At the end disconnect your phone and reboot.
Now, you're fresh and funky with a stock phone. To root your phone start from step one and unlock bootloader with FlashTool.

Unlock bootloader
I did all the steps to unlock the bootloader but my phone don't boot up. It stays at the animation. Can you help me?

Is it normal to late so much? :/

Please explain what exactly did you try to do and I'll do my best to help. Did you come from stock rom? Have you unlocked the bl with flashtool? Now that you're in bootloop have you tried the special method exposed above? Try to lock the bl again, load os and unlock it once again.

Hey, when i click on the blu button, xperia M is not in the list! Can You help me ?

[Factory Images] Factory Images and Flashing tools

NOTE: FLASHING KITKAT AFTER UPDATING TO LOLLIPOP (i.e. DOWNGRADING) IS NOT SUPPORTED. YOUR DEVICE WILL GET HARD BRICKED IF YOU ATTEMPT TO DO SO
Hello Yureka Users,
The factory image (fastboot flashable zip) and debuggable boot image are now available on Cyanogen Support page.

These flash tools are available for download here - ( Windows - Linux - Mac )
There are detailed step by step instructions written for each OS ( Windows - Linux - Mac )
Flashing the whole package will get your phone back to factory state and WILL WIPE all data on your phone. (Except any data on the external microSD card, if you have one).
As newer updates come out in coming months, the support page will be updated with newer factory images.
In the spirit of the community, the flash tools package, and the script are up on github, and we welcome anyone who wants to improve on the flashing scripts/tools.
Cheers,
Team YU

if i will flash this. will i revert back to stock recovery and locked bootloader ?
i come to know that lolipop update will be flashable only on stock recovery. is it true ?

does this method apply to fastboot files of cm12 as well?
Cause many users who directly flashed this cm12 fastboot files are now having hard bricked devices

Help - unable to flash custom recovery

Guys, thought I understood this as I've successfuly used SP Flash tool with previous devices but I'm going round in circles.
I've installed the Mediatek driver package so the preloader is installed.
When I try and flash Philz recovery via SP Flashtool I hit download, connect the P8000 then get an error "Brom error: s_com_port_open_fail (1013)
What am I doing wrong.
On the phone I have gone through the following :
SuperSU is installed
I've enabled developer options
I've then gone to OEM unlocking and at the prompt have clicked enable to the "Allow OEM unlocking"
I then switched off the phone and tried using flashtool as above.
I don;t know what to do next?
Sorry to be a pain.
Mike

What package for flashing have you downloaded and have you made sure to chose the correct .scatter file? How does it look in Device manager when you connect the phone via USB when it's turned off?
I would GUESS it's incorrect flash file or incorrectly installed drivers...

Thanks, I've done some more digging.
I've installed the mediatek driver package. I switch off the phone (power off).
When I connect the phone with device manager open the preloader driver appears under com ports (no yellow exclamation mark) for about 2 seconds. At that point the phone enters charging mode (large battery comes up on screen) and at the same time the preloader entry vanished from device manager.

Solved my own problem in the end - it would seem I was using an old version of the flash tool.
New version installed the recovery instantly.

Nice to hear! THanks for the feedback

Can you post a link to the scatterfile and other necessary files?
Hi,
Can you post a link to the scatterfile and other necessary files please?
Thanks in advance.

The .scatter files are inside the zip you download

Need little bit help with bricked Note 8 Pro

Hi everyone,
I got Chinese version Note 8 Pro from Mi official store and unlocked bootloader after 7 days.
I downloaded Global MIUI 11 ROM via official miui download link, "ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia" and installed ADB drivers etc.
After run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1, it installed recovery, then I'm able to boot into TWRP, and then I installed global rom from there, meanwhile wiped everything in it as I don't need China version rom. Phone reboot well and new global rom works great.
Then I try to install Magisk, I noticed recovery seems be restored to original, no worries, I re-run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1 to install TWRP again. Whatever I did, I cannot get TWRP back, when I hold power/+, it keep blank and will restart, but if I don't hold them, it can get into the system.
My first question is: 1. At this stage, is recovery crash already?
I didn't think too much and I get into system, install Magisk manager, let it to patch boot.img, I then use following command in fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot_patch.img
After I finished, I noticed maybe I can do TWRP here as well, then I also input
fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
After reboot, the phone is dead....No fastboot, NO recovery, no vibration. exactly described as here
[UNBRICK - stuck on DA mode / Authorised Service Account required]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ide-unbrick-stuck-da-mode-authorised-t4000433
I re-think what I did, my question is
2. Will boot_patch.img Magisk patched not suitable for China phone with global rom?
3. Is fastboot dead because I installed recovery into boot via fastboot flash boot TWRP.img?
Thanks for your time and appreciated for any knowledgeable reply.

Flash your original boot.img for your original firmware or just download the xiaomitoolV2 and flash it that way. I see a lot of people flashing stock firmware using TWRP. Hence the v2 tool only works if your phone still fully boots. NOTE do not flash stock FW or UPDATE using TWRP you will brick the device. Chances are your FW didn't flash and just ADB CMD fatsboot flash boot ( then set BOOT.IMG ) in the CMD and get the devices booting again. Then use the V2 tool to flash the global firmware get that to stick then use the ifelixit tool to flash recovery once in recovery go advanced file mgr system-root at the bottom delete boot P then close AVB 2.0 then hit the install root button SU - magisk 19.4 will be installed. no need to wipe or format the phone ( DON'T FORGET TO WIPE CACHE & DALVIC.

Remove the back off the phone and disconnect the battery for 5 min just to be sure hold the power button to clear all power left in the phone. Main objective is to get useage again fastboot or recovery. If you get recovery sideload your boot img and flash it on the next reboot twrp will be overridden.

Thanks. Currently my phone doesn't have reboot, no recovery, purely blank on screen, only power led shows when connecting via USB. In this situation, must open back case to disconnect the battery? I heard about it's free to go back to mi store and re flash it back. To open back case it won't have warranty anymore. Struggling....

I also have two bricked phones note 8 pro with no recovery, only white led shows when connecting via USB.
First bricked with TWRP and then flashed with false boot.img, second is bricked with OrangeFox-Unofficial-begonia.img.
I was open back case and disconnect the battery, stay 3 days but nothing working to reboot to fastboot or recovery.
Also I have already tried with short circuit test point to EDL mode but phone is still dead. I have downloaded many xiaomi and other tools and firmwares, installed all available usb drivers and reading all internet forums.
Please help!

Hello,
I think I did the same error, flashing a wrong boot.img...
I tell you if I manage to do something.

hello, the solution to the problem is the battery is completely discharged until the device stops responding to any attempts to start using the key combination. unless you tried to flash a fastboot partition. the solution works after hard bricking after trying to upload incompatible twrp or other rom (I uploaded Chinese twrp on eu rom). ok, we start:
1. holding vol - and power plug in the usb cable (the buttons are released when the notification LED changes from very bright for a moment to slightly dimmed)
2. you will see the long unseen battery symbol with a lightning inside (i.e. a completely discharged battery, the charge status will begin to show the percentage)
3. Turn off the USB cable at 3 percent.
4. now an important thing - you need to start the phone only trying to enter the fastboot mode otherwise the phone will start to boot the system and get stuck again and you will have to unload it again
5. you will finally enter the fastboot , using only the software from xiaomi or xiaomi flash and fastboot rom
I succeeded after 2 weeks of waiting for it to discharge ...
I copied this tutorial from this partner klocek80 , and it worked perfectly

This only helps when boot image is not damaged.

I'm with you. The boot image has error and when MTK realize it has something wrong it will NOT enter into fastboot. The only way to fix this is too use SP Flash Tool for deep flash. Mi store uses this way as well to fix the issue.

Try this:

I didn`t find any background on your issue, just something like you actually have a device with white led light blinking.
I read this thread before (yes, some weeks ago) this happened to me yesterday https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlock-note-8-pro-authorised-t4168805 the short story is that I were trying to return to Miui 12 after of using some custom ROMs and something in the flashing process failed I mean it was an incomplete flashing and I assumed that most probably just the bootloader partition was damaged. The whole important fact in this situation is that you have yet available fastboot mode but like the splash partition with its image was gone I couldn `t see it and I were anyway in fastboot mode so I could flash the proper files to "unbrik" it. (my device is unlocked)
What you should try is connect it with PC while you`re pressing the volume down, enter to adb/fastboot environment and type fastboot commands to see if device is recogniced, you don`t have to hear constant reboot sounds or in this case press the power button simulating that you are powering off device.
