Hi, first excuse my poor english.
Well, i did something very wrong, and the XL is brick now.
The phone is with bootloader locked. It says not allowed.
So, i install root with a .bat file in windows. Everything ok.
I install the CWM the same way. Everything ok.
So, i download the ROM Z2 MOD based on CM11. I dont knew that i need install the CM11 first, yes, i know, i read it just now in the comments, so, i install/restore that ROM in my phone, but now, just dont turn on. The phone dont do anything, just a little vibration, a little and nothing more.
So, how can i fix it? I have a backup file of my phone in the memory, but i cant get to CWM to restore it.
How can i fix this mess?
THanks in advance.

Is cwm for lb already works??..i think it still under dev yet not fully working..
You can try flash ftf file back... Restoring backup as far as i know is not posibble yet..
try to reflash ftf in flashmode
is fix
Well... thanks,
What i do.. was try EMMA, but when i connect with volume down, EMMA says that is not supported cause the bootloader locked.
So, i install pc companion, and try to upgrade, and says that need the phone turn on, so, i continue until put a option to flash the phone.
I connect with the volume down, and thats all. Is alive again.
Thanks and excuse my poor english.

Use this. This is one of the small tutorials i made long back. Try to read through and understand how to use the flash tool and fastboot. Use what you have learned to get your phone set back.
All you have to do is flash the stock firmware via flashtool.
4.4.2 xperia L very low call volume, help

Hi guys,
yesterday I put evoking (android 4.2.1) on my phone, and I wanted to change it, so I've installed ROM Manager..
After that, I've rebooted on recovery, but, the phone shows only the lg's icon..
So I tried to unbrick this whit KDZ (using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314) and, I tried all the possibility, but it still not working. Now, it does not turn on!! Can you help me please?
P.S. Sorry for the english I'm using google translate..
remove battery, plug the phone to computer while pressing vol up and power to see if computer recognize it, if it does, flash again via kdz
after reflash, restart and w8 for the phone to boot, it will take some minutes to boot, just be patient

Hey bud,
its simeple.
even i faced the same issue once. Just reboot the mobile and while booting go to the recovery mode (home+vol up + powerbutton). tere u can reinstall the rom. try ICy/PAC MAN. it works beautifully. remember to keep this rom zip file in SD card while rebooting.

If you removed the battery after unsuccessful kdz flash, then your phone is hard bricked and you need to go to LG

I recently decided to upgrade to 4.4.4 kit kat.
Really dont know a lot about phones, but I've been working with computers for so long I thought it would be easy.....Little did I know....
Basically I used CMW? to flash the rom after checking using a root checker that my phone was definitely rooted. After trying to flash the phone turned off, and is now stuck in a permanent loop from the lg logo to a little green robot. When I plug it into the computer the time between each loop isn't long enough to do anything with it, and the recovery menu just wont work !
I should say when I hold volume down and the power button all I get is a hard reset option, and even when I do it nothing changes.
I really dont know what to do to break the loop, Please help!
The phone is an LG optimus g pro f240...all this for a transparent information bar >.>

No I didn't, but even if I did I cant use it. The phone has no recovery menu at all. Wont even charge so the time I have to fix it is limited. 40% battery left atm.....really stressed, its brand new.

Whew. At least you have an sdcard slot, that gives us hope!
You'll need an sdcard adapter. Plug your sdcard into your PC, and write the appropriate ClockworkMod image for your device to the sdcard. Plug your sdcard back into your phone, and reboot, but ONLY use the power button, nothing else.
You should be successfully booted into CWM. Write back for more instructions if that works.
And don't forget to thank my posts if I helped!

Ok I checked cwm and I cant find a rom for my phone !
Pretty confused. I'd like to return to the stock mod is that possible?
What is the "stock mod"?
EDIT - Just found this site, it may be of use to you: Hard Reset LG Optimus G Pro f240.
I tried all that, nothing doing.
The original rom was kit kat 4.4.2 I think...maybe 4.4.1
Any chance they might work?
Going back to 4.4 would be the best idea in my opinion.
The question is how!
shouldn't there be some sort of management suite for LG? sony has pc companion, and last night i found myself in the exact same situation as you, and i was able to repair my phone, because i messed it up and it was boot-looping.

Yeah there is, but the boot loop is so short, a few seconds really, that I dont have time to do anything. The computer never registers is.
I tried everything I can think of....even with the sd card in nothing happens.....Just goes from the green robot trying to repair off then back to the lg logo then back to the green robot....sigh, is it possible to be perma boot looped?
I always read that when the phone is turning on there is hope. Looks really unlikely for me.
Hello,
I tried to install a ROM on my android device for the first time a few daysa ago I followed every step:
Rooted my phone, installed CWM, when I tried to unlock bootloader I got some kind of error, but STUPID me ignored it.
I opened CWM installed the ROM and turned off my phone when I try turning it on it just vibrates and nothing happens then vibrates again in a few seconds.
I have googled a little bit and found out that it might be a thing called bootloop or soft brick but haven't found a working solution anywhere.
TL;DR I bootloopeed my phone. please help people. the past few days without smartphone I understood I can't live without it ;((
sorry for my bad English.

1. Read this link first: http://xperiafirmware.com/2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool
2. Download flashtool from
http://www.firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/233-flashtool-9-2014
3. Download the firmware from
http://d-h.st/nCu
4. Install the flashtool in C:
5. Go to C:\flashtool\flashtool drivers and install the drivers
6. paste the ftf firmware file downloaded in step 3, to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool i.e. C:\flashtool\firmwares
7. open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
8.*turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button*
9. after few minutes all is done and your phone gets started
Hit thanks if it helped!! And tell me when it is done
Thanks a lot. I would press THANKS 100x times if I could. Everything is working perfectly thanks to you !!!!!!!!!

well to get into recovery you hold the volume down button after the Sony splash screen the phone should emit a green led and vibrate if you hold down the volume down it should turn purple to enter recovery. If you can't get that far you will need flashtool. If you just wanted root you could have used kingroot. or you could flash a prerooted zip. Thats if you had already installed xz dual recovery ater flashing if not just try reflashing in flashtool.

BTW don't open any more threads on this because it violates xda rules of posting for the same thing. Anyway I hate flashtool but try exclude t/a and reset customizations on the menu to the right.

Hope some buddy know how i must fix my phone
I recently fixed a bricked XZP with Flashtool, get the latest stock firmware from Xperifirm if you dont have on hand an older hackable firmware from XperiFIX
in Xperifirm setting, set it to extract firmware automatically once downloaded to speed things up,
In flashtool/Tools/bundles/Create, select source folder (your downloaded extracted firmware)
in device "double click" & select your phone model from the list.
branding: add as your download example, custom_uk
version: firmware version copy & paste from download
copy all files from file list to firmware content & click create
this will build a .ftf flash tools file which can then be flashed to your bricked device
just follow the prompts in flashtool....
worked for me,
good luck

Ofcourse i have and flashed .34 amd .75 frimwares with both neflasher and flashtool but none of them fix my problem.is it something that dosent change when we flash stock frimwares.
Lol. Sony phones are really hard to brick. You really can't brick a Sony phone even if you intentionally wanted to. I've even had a failed flash (phone disconnected while flashing) and was still able to flash using flashtool.
Anyways, I know this has been said before, but what happens after you flash using flashtool? Did you check all the boxes for a full wipe?
BTW, bad mouthing a phone just because you can't solve your problem won't help you.
