Hello,
i was trying some custom roms and the latest nightly build from cynanogen for my swift, but got somehow stuck in a bootloop.
Now i also can't access the bootloader. If i press volume up and connect USB the device is not booting and there is no device shown if i use "fastboot device".
I am still able to boot into recovery, but flashing any rom is not working, because of the bootloop.
Nevertheless i can boot to the bootloader from the recovery, but no device is recognized.
Any suggestion or is my device bricked?

Since you can access recovery why don't you try flashing Cyanogen OS using adb sideload?

Thanks for your hint, but i managed to access the bootloader. I could't access the bootloader because my battery was empty. After it was charged for a while i was able boot into the bootloader.
I also got rid of the bootloop by erase some partitions like described here or here
After that i was able to flash the current cyanogen nightly again.
If sideload still not working, you should consider the stock rom. Then backup, then flash the custom rom.
I am using Stock due to Cortana coming

It's gonna be a while before cortana comes to Cyanogen OS since it's still US only.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Z1C.
I used CM 12.1 quite a while now and I wanted to know how much difference is to Android 6.
So I downloaded the Remix Resurrection rom and flashed the boot.img in fastboot mode to replace the CM-recovery with TWRP. That was a bit tricky, because CM deleted TWRP again and again and booted in the CM-recovery.
So, finally I got TWRP working, after booting directly into the recovery after flashing the boot.img via fastboot.
TWRP now told me, that no OS is installed. I tried to wipe the phone and to install the RR-rom, but the recovery always said that it has the wrong version (?).
So I flashed the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod-zip and was able to boot into CM again. But now there seems to be no recovery on the phone. Whenever I try to boot to the recovery, the Sony logo appears and the notification light turns into orange, but then it starts again to do so.
At the moment I try to boot into CM again, but I think it has stucked in a bootloop...
What can I do here? The only thing what works is to boot into fastboot mode, but without the system.img I cant flash any roms there. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Shut down your device and press volume up button while connecting it to your computer. Then it will boot into fastboot mode and you should be able to flash stock firmware in flashtool, and then you can start from scratch.

Another option is to follow this guide to install Recovery and When done you can boot into Recovery and flash a custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

Try Rashr app from play store. It sounds to me like incompatible kernel/recovery combo. Download a recovery IMG, (latest TWRP, for example), then use Rashr to flash it. You can also use it for flashing a boot IMG. Its probably the same reason you had trouble flashing ROM.
Besides that, you can install real recovery, which works the same regardless of the kernel-

Okay, after flashing it with flashtool it starts again. I now put the RR rom with Android 5.1 on.
I have again the CM recovery, but at least it starts how it should.
I will try to flash the real recovery, thanks!
Update:
Currently running RR with Android 5.1.
I would now like to use RR with Android 6, but again, I can only boot into the Cyanogen recovery, which cant make a backup of the currently running OS. I have tried to flash the boot.img from RR 5.1 with fastboot, Rashr, but nothing seems to work, as it puts me back to the Cyanogen recovery every time. How can I replace the Cyanogen recovery?
And one more question: When the phone starts, the notification light turns into red before the Sonmy logo appears and then turns into pink. What does the red light mean?

You need a recovery img, not boot img. Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65361797&postcount=78 or this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719 Open Rashr, choose ' recovery from storage'.
Okay, i flashed the 2.8.6.0 version via Rashr and now Im stuck on the Sony logo...the notification light is orange all the time, but I cant restart the phone anymore...any suggestions?
Edit: Worked! Used the combination between power and Vol+ to reset, and now it starts!
You should disable CM Recovery Protection – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the ‘Update recovery with system updates’ option. Otherwise it will keep installing cm recovery itself.
Ok guys please help. I got this phone today and after playing around trying to install Lineage 14.1, i am stuck in fastboot. Recovery mode will not open, it just goes back to fastboot. Same thing happens when I attempt to do a normal boot, or turn off and on again. The phone is not rooted, and I have reflashed the custom recovery after failing to install lineage. It was bootloader unlocked but I think that was undone when I flashed an update to the device. I don't need help with lineage installation, I've decided its not worth the hassle but please help me get my phone to boot. Thankyou.

Get the latest raw image and the asus flash tool. Use the tool to flash the raw image in fastboot. You'll be back to factory.

Flash Stock ROM again via fastboot flash_all.bat or EDL with MiFlash. Then try installing that ROM again.
So i followed the steps on unlocking my bootloader and i successfully unlocked it after a week. At first try i soft bricked my phone trying to install twrp begonia. img from the official website, then i fix it by flashing the older version of miui (miui10) by the help of xiaoMiFlash. After flashing miui 10 to fix the bootloop my phone works pretty well but i want to flash custom rom on it so i tried to install twrp 3.3.1 and it is running well from miui rom but after flashing corvus os to my phone i tried to enter recovery mode specifically twrp, it seems that after several seconds twrp crashes then my phone automatically restarting to corvus os. The main problem is twrp is not working well and it keeps crashing whenever i entered recovery mode (TWRP)
How to fix it??? PLEASE HELP
