I flashed vengeance kernel on my Xperia L from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321550
After I boot the phone, It always shows up like a factory resset has taken place, Its doing the basic set up everytime I reboot. Its not remembering the state which I changed the phone.
I belive some partition is getting mounted as read only, which is supposed to be rw. Which is that partition and what should I do to fix it?

zzzzz y u so noob lol kidding
Some mobiles(xperia 2013) have different keys for fastboot and flashmode
for fastboot Volume + and For flashmode Volume - hold key and conncet USB (please check it once and let me noe e1 i forgot proper keys )
and one more thing Go to your flashtool folder go to drivers folder and install flashmode and fastboot drivers

Yesterday I was being even worse than a noob, may be a dunce! lol
It was my mistake - I pressed the vol up instead of vol down!
So now that working ! Thank you very much ! (button pressed )
But I'm curious what was happening the first time when that setup guide showed up after every boot. I believe the reason is that there is some "first boot" activity configured for Xperias which I saw after the first boot on newly flashed .36 firmware. Though I flashed the vengeance kernel only after the complete first boot & restart. So this is probably not a reason.
Another would be the unlocked boot loader immediately forces a "ro" or some restriction on some unsual partitions, which got fixed after flashing the stock firmware. Most possibly this is the reason. Probably thats the TA partition ?
Any comments experts ?

The internal partition gets formatted in 2013 devices so we need to flash stock.

I cant get into the recovery mode.....
Sorry for my bad english....i need your help ppl!!!!
Thanks for ur time.
Nicolas.
May you can get into Fastboot mode and reflash the recovery.
Give it a try =)
Do you have a androids of your original ROM?
I did the exact same thing just yesterday...
If you have a JB image to work from, get it in fastboot mode and look at the thread on CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5...

thks for the replies.....
i downloaded the stock rom from the Acer web page
i tried with:
"adb reboot-bootloader" and NOTHING.....i ve the line: <waiting for the device> ....and ....5 min later nothing.

To get into fastboot mode, it's the following combination;
- Press [vol-] + [power]
- As soon as the tablet vibrates, let go [power] then cycle your rotation lock button left and right till you see the the text start to appear.
Unless you;re going to try and fastboot a system image setup or recovery image or another boot.img, not sure what you wish to accomplish.
I would guess you would be better off installing maybe the GB full version JellyBean update.
Also, I understand there,s a a700 ICS service rom out there somewhere. That might help you also.
But these are just guesses at this point.
What would help, is to know exactly what you did to get yourself into this situation. Like What root procedure from what post? If you tried one of the ICS Boot.image flashes, when you had JB updated, well, no wonder it borked up. If that's the case, it's simple just to fastboot a JB Boot.img back in.
So which thread did you get the root procedure from EXACTLY?
One more thing, this thread belongs in Q&A Forum, so I put in a request to have it moved.

Sorry for dont put my thread into the Q&A Forum. It was a mistake. Sorry again
My situation is: "like i remember" i tried to make the root with the "flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat".....i know that BAT is for ICS and not for JB but i take that mistake doing the thing really fast. :angel:
Ok...i need them to get the fastboot with the JB Boot.img like you said.
The JB Boot.img is into the Rom??? because i saw the boot.img into the JB update.zip
Can u tell me the command to get that flash? Is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

It's no problem.
So you fastbooted an ICS boot.img on a JB rom
So, you need to see if you can manually get it into fastboot mode with the procedure I pointed out above (note it will probably wipe your user data, but who cares)
If you get it in fastboot mode, verify via windows device manager, then just put a JB Boot image in there. I have a little package in my Boot.image thread Full /System RW-Root. Don't use the boot mage in it, as it's for a 701. Just copy your JB boot.image in there and fastboot it. You have the correct command.
Verboth has a new rom, that contains an unsecure boot.img for the 700 JB. You can use that one also. It's what you were trying to do originally, just with a wrong image (ICS)
The reason ADB doesn't see it, is because the system isn't running. The newer CWM recoveries should have adb enabled through CWM, but I don't think you put that in yet.
Hopefully you'll get it fastbooted.

Okay, so since I just did this, I'm going to try and give you a "how to" on how I fixed it...
MD and pawitp both are the authorities on this, but I think this will help and I a, sure they will correct me where I go wrong.
First, use the manual process for getting your A700 in fastboot.. power button + down vol, wait for the first buzz then release only the power button, wait for the second buzz then press the up volume button. Your tab should now be in fastboot mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Get a copy of the proper recovery image "recovery-a700-6015" and the following ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952124) and save them to a directory where you can find it easily.
Pull the SD card from your tab and put the ROM from above in the base directory and put it back in your tab.
From the c prompt on your computer use the following fastboot command:
Fastboot devices
----#make sure that the computer sees your a700
Fastboot boot <save directory>recovery-a700-6015.img
----#your tab will reboot into CMR Recovery
In recovery format system, data, cache, dalvik
Still in recovery install the ROM from your external SD card.
The Aroma Installer will guide you through it, but make sure you tell it to install the new firmware.
Reboot.
You should be on the stock rooted ACER Great Britain release.
From there you can download and install CM10 (which is what I did), or any other ROM you would like.

Hello everybody,
I think I have NOT exactly the same problem but very similar.
Let me explain how I got there:
I had JB bootloader and CM11 installed for long and working fine.
Last days I tried out the CM12.1 unofficial rom with successful installation.
I noticed that the camera focus was not working. Usually I never use the camera and was not sure if it worked before. So I went back to CM11 to look if it is rom dependent. In CM11 it still was not working and I went back to stock. The stock rom I found was Android 4.0.4 and I tried to make OTA update what showed me a “not allowed to your device” –error.
However, at this moment I was quite sure that the camera focus is a hardware defect and wanted to go on testing the new CM12.1. I installed it again from CWM recovery and it was not booting anymore.
The problem is, that the stock rom flashed an ICS bootloader which is not compatible anymore. I also cannot boot into recovery anymore but fastboot is working.
Power-On:
shows Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode) and nothing more
Power-On + Vol.Down:
Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
Erasing Cache before SD update…
SD update cnd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
Then for just a second CWM is shown:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1
Finding update package
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:update.zip]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Rebooting...
Then it holds on Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
I could not find any button combination to boot something else.
What I tried and what did not make any changes:
Flashing the recovery.img again
Erase userdata, cache, system
Please help me to boot up recovery again and flash a JB bootloader and new rom.
Thanks and kind regards,
Gandlz
Well, in between I found a solution and can answer my own question now:
The trick is to flash the CWM Recovery not to the recovery partition but to the boot partition. (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
After restarting the tablet it boots directly into CWM Recovery.
I found a newer stock rom with jelly bean android and installed it to come back to JB-Bootloader. Now I could install CM10.2 CM11 or CM12.1 again.
The stock rom is from a german forum:
android-hilfe.de/thema/a700-zurueck-aufs-deutsche-stock-rom-flashen-anleitung-imagefile.329590
By the way: I’m running CM10.2.1 and it is very much faster than CM11 or CM12.1. I don’t need the newer features and like the old design even more. And also the camera focus is working now, so it is definitely a software issue with newer CM versions.
Best regards,
Gandlz
My phone is Sony Xperia M2 (Single Sim) D303
I'm on android 4.4.2 and booted Doomlord kernel which was for android 4.3 So my phone got stuck in a loop. After factory reset(hoping it would work ) i can't enter fastboot mode. hoping for advice on how to enter fastboot mode and on someone with Sony Xperia M2 kernel so i can restore boot the stock kernel. Or on some other advice to help me get my phone working again. Right now im getting "device unauthorized" and can't even enter adb commands.
Flash tool doesn't recognise phone. It'd be helpful if someone even knows how to shut down the phone.
I got CWM recovery. So no longer got CWM but can now get into fastboot. Still no ADB and im stuck on Sony image.
Please help me.Thanks in advance.
Have you tried what I suggested in this thread?

My phone is a black screen right now. Can't shut it down,reboot, use adb commands, fastboot or anything. I'm worried if the power reaches 0% it could not even start up again. I'll try it tough, but really looking for diffrent options right now. I would try and flash it but i need to turn phone on and off for flash. I currently can't even do that. Phone doesn't start in flash mode. Maybe i should give it to someone for repairs but it'd probably cost me well over 200$.
I also need some MTP (i think thats it) drivers... Kinda strange don't know what im doing but sometimes i got the drivers and sometimes i don't
flashtool has all drivers needed from what I know. If you want to access phone data, MTP is the protocol used, and that should work out of the box.
Also, to flash the ftf you can use flashmode, so even if fastboot doesn't work, maybe flashmode will.
How do you know the phone is on btw? The only thing I to fix it is to flash ftf in flashmode, but you could wait if someone else has another idea.

The phone has a red light on and the screen is lighted black. I tried flashmode but i need to turn phone on and off for it to enter flashmode... I can't do that becouse buttons don't work for some reason. And i had all the drivers but since factory reset i lost them all (don't know how it works) well i got em all back without the MTP and can't install it with flashtool tried already. Also can't enter adb commands. It's like the phone is stuck on end of a loop. It's not looping the logo it's just stuck on the black screen after the logo and doesn't budge like an Iron Brick.
Answer
if you have kernel with CWM you can download flashable zip with rom and just copy zip to sdcard a then flash it in CWM.

Maybe you can try this,
1. Turn Power button and Vol Up, until first vibrate, keep hold it, and you will feel three times vibration. Now your device is off.
2. Open Flashtool, enter flash mode (push Vol Down and connect your device), reflash your ftf (if you are using DoomLord kernel that supposed to be 4.4.2 ftf), after flash is done, disconnect the cable and redo #1 (above).
3. Push Vol Up and connect your device to enter fastboot mode.
4. After that, go flash DoomLord Boot Kernel. When finished, disconnect your cable, but do not turn on your device yet.
5. Turn on and repeatedly push Vol Down to enter Recovery, go to install from sd card, and install SuperSU-Update.zip file (you must already have SuperSu-update.cip in your external sd)
6. After install supersu, you should go to advanced and choose power off instead of reboot it.
7. Do #2 again, but this time, when choosing the ftf, keep in mind that only kernel and loader to be flash (untick only for Cache, Data and Kernel). And do flash.
8. Turn on your device, and now your 4.4.2 is rooted.

does this work cause my xperia m2 dual is bricked after the logo it just turns blank
Apologies for dumb questions but I am really newbie with Sony phones (I know my way around HTCs though).
I have the Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633). After some reading, I've managed to unlock bootloader, installed TWRP recovery and rooted the phone.
My wife somehow locked the phone without memorizing password and the brightest idea I've had was to perform factory reset. Accidentally, I have managed to perform a full wipe, wiping everything except mSD card (I have experience with CWM recoveries but not with TWRP). I did not backup software before accidental wipe.
Phone obviously wont boot but I am having hard time to get to recovery as well, phone just hangs with TWRP recovery logo on the screen.
The first step I intend to perform is to try to re-flash recovery again a go from there.
My intention is to restore stock ROM using Flashtool and d6633_23.0.f.1.74_1288-7362_r8b_ru.ftf
I've read how to enter appropriate boot mode, however, I am not sure witch one to choose for Flashtool to work. BTW, is it possible to restore stock software using Sony PC Companion software?
Can anyone point me in a right direction? A simple guide to follow to in order to get out of this tough situation?
Download your desired firmware and install latest flash tool on your computer.
Copy the downloaded firmware on to the flash tool folder which can be found on your C drive.
Hold volume up and power together till your phone vibrates thrice (power shut down)
Now open flash tool, select flash mode and then your firmware. Now press start.. You will see animation there asking you to connect your device.
Hold your phone's "down volume button" and connect it to the computer. Flash tool will recognize the device and starts flashing. Wait for it to finish.
Boot your device and you are good to go!

Success! Thank you for your hand holding.
Order of steps to get the phone to flash mode was slightly different in my case though. When I pressed volume up and power key the device did not react. Repeating the same process with USB cable inserted worked. When pressing volume down the phone was tying to get to recovery but then it hanged there. In the end when Flashtool asked me to connect the phone, I've kept pressing volume down key with phone turned off and inserted USB cable and it got recognized and software got flashed in the end. BTW, Flashtool does't contain drivers for Z3 yet, therefore I've installed drivers for Z1 / Z2 in addition to flashmode and fastboot drivers.
Currently I am updating software trough Sony Update and then I will check if bootloader is still unlocked ant will try to get to recovery. If no luck I will reflash recovery.
Thank you again!
P.S. I've noticed that there are slightly different application included in this ROM. FTF file in these forums is a slightly different version that came with my phone originally. It might be useful to get more versions of FTFs for D6633 model uploaded...

The recovery you're booting to is not a custom recovery ,anyway I'll giude to installing I'll give some useful links.
First if all you need to unlock your bootloader go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
You may run in a bootloop (the phone stuck at bootanimation)
Just flash the stock ftf via flashtool .
Now go here and take the first method , it will guide how to install CM12

Hi all,
after bootloader unlock, and a few other steps later. I somehow managed to softbrick my Z5.
The phone hangs on bootloader screen. I can still get into TWRP 2.7.8.0.
When rebooting from TWRP says there no OS installed.
Most of the times TWRP is unable to mount system, data etc. After managing to mount all, I tried to go ahead and install either another ROM or a boot.img, recovery.img or twrp.img.
Installing another Rom always seems to fail (and finishes way too fast), and installing another boot.img or recovery.img gives me errors like this:
[IMAGE FLASH STARTED]
Image to flash: '/external_sd/recovery.img'
Calculating restore details...
E: No partitions selected for flashing
Trying to use FlashTool doesn't work either, because I cannot get FastBoot to work either (power off, hold volume Up while attaching device to pc using usb) Only this morning did I manage to FastBoot.
How can I solve this?
Can it be solved through TWRP? by somehow using a PIT file? or any other way?
I am stumped reallly.... So maybe someone with much more knowledge can help me out? Thanks
i got a similar problem but i wasn't able to get into flashmode nor fastboot neither i was able to charge my device when i was comming from XZ Rom bcs i was so buggy but i managed to fix it by force turning it off ( power + vol up 3 vibs ) then i left the phone for 10 seconds then suddenly i entred flashmode without doing anything then i flashed the original FTF
i hope i can help you with this

Thankx iSpammer, it took me a while to reply, mainly because the battery went to 0%. so first I had to go to a local callshop to fast charge it for a while. Later at home I charged to 100%.
After that I was abled to get into the FlashTool and flash an original TFT, now the phone is also unrooted, had twrp and su, and xposed.
Thanks again, I am one happy camper
