My device is C6903 (14.4.a.0.108) bought from the Philippines. It's already rooted and has an unlocked bootloader.
The problem is when I installed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699803 it now wouldn't boot it just shows the Sony logo and after 2 minutes or so it just blacked out. but when i tap the screen on a dark room the screen shows the black background without the sony logo and after a moment it darkened again like its in lock screen (Its really hard to describe).
I flashed it using fastboot. with this command
/ fastboot flash boot boot.img / and after I input this command
/ fastboot reboot /.
Its still charging and it shows the battery icon when charging on an off state. It can still be recognized by fastboot when i connected it to the computer.
Ive already hard reset it using the button on the sim card slot and the other method the power button and the volume up. It didn't really helped. help me guys Im new in this flashing methods. What should I do?
Hi,
Did you read the requirements at the beginning of post number 1? Did you meet those requirements? The best place to ask about this is in the kernel thread you linked in your post. If that doesn't help you, you can ask for help here....

thanks for replying. I have managed to get out of the situation but now I'm facing another one. My phone is now on boot loop. I tried using flashtool but it wouldn't work. While on flashboot doing its job, my phone would just boot up and go again on a boot loop. flashtool log would just say device disconnected.
I think I found a way to do another trick using fastboot but I don't have a custom recovery installed. Is there any way that I can install CWM or any tools like it using only fastboot? I've been looking for it the whole time but I can't find one. I'm new to this thing by the way. Thanks again!
I've found one. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Recovery_install_fastboot
Can i flash this Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip (if its possible ) instead of the .img that was mentioned on the site. I can't find a recovery.img for my device.
Again, please ask in your device section linked above.
Thanks!
Thank you. Thread closed.

Hello to all,
I am unexperienced so, please, if you have any ideas about how to do that work, that would be great. Thanking you in advance.
I have just tried to root my Sola, after countless tries. I failed all the way. However, I believe this time was for good.
I will post the threads I used and I will also post the steps followed:
1) I had done bootloader unlock through the official page of Sony with the IMEA, etc.
2) I opened today the flashtool and tried to do the flashing of kernel.
3) I downloaded a file named as: Sola-DooMLoRD-AdvStkKernel-v01-test1.elf.
4) I used flashtool and did it on fastboot mode.
5) I selected the above mentioned kernel for flashing and then pressed to reboot.
That was it. I tried to open the phone and the only thing that I get is the name "SONY".
The screen screens the LOGO and then closes. And again and again.
URLs Followed:

theunlockr.com/2013/09/10/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-sola-running-6-1-1-b-1-54-firmware/ (unsuccessfully because I couldn't flash with flashmode.. the "return" and "plug-in" steps were never successful).
android.gs/how-to-root-sony-xperia-sola/ (THis was followed at most).
If you could help, that would be much appreciated.
Hi there,
If you have a look at the Sola rooting section here: Getting Started:Rooting,Bootloader Unlocking,Recovery,Custom ROM installation & more > Post #2
Then if you get stuck further ask in that thread for help.

It's not normal in the sense that it's not turning on. But what has happened is something went wrong in the proccess and your kernel isn't booting. But because you can reach the Sony logo you will be able to recover your phone.

I have restored my xperia z2 many times hoping to fix this issue, I have extracted the ADB package to my desktop for easy access but I always get the PIE only error which means I can't boot into recovery mode. My xperia, on stock or custom ROM only has a blank recovery screen so I can't see or select anything.

So i love my Xperia SP and i decided to root my phone because warranty was busted. So i rooted it and changed bootanimation but unfortunatly i did not expect it to be too small and it just stayed on bootanimation but if i press buttons or touch the screen it makes vibrations and sounds etc... but the bootanimation is still there. I copyed all my files via usb (which worked fine) and made the hard reset via the android device ,emptyer or that thing if you lost your device then you hard reset it via google account setting in computer but it still wont work, still the bootanimation is there but phone works.
Please help me!

Hi there.
I updated my phone the other day and it ended up doing reboots with an error message regarding the update process. Before I hand it in for service, I wanted to make a copy of all the contents of the device..
So far, it looks like using some recovery kernel image and ramdisk is the right way to go, using "fastboot boot". What's a good image to use?
It's important that nothing is changed on the phone so I for example void the warranty.
Thanks,
Morten

Hi, I was about to install myself a new rom and I probably badly cocked up.
well to make it short, I was following instructions here https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami
and it went good, till I misunderstood one thing, that i need to get phone in fastboot and then navigate in PC cmd to boot.img, well I did, but I was so stupid (I realized moment later) that I had separated the boot.img file from rest of the stuff in cyanogenmod folder. And I booted it wia fastboob and rebooted my phone....
well... red light started and that was it...I have been waiting some time if something will happen but nothing.
then tried to start it, reset it, nothing helped...all the phone does is only the red led will start if I hold power and vol + and if I hold power and vol +- it vibrates once, and after moment it vibrates three times.
my phone is xperia Z1 as you can see from cyanogenmod wiki page -honami
so my question is simple... is there any way to fix this?
Iam rly disapointed it can be broken so easily just by one tim booting wrong file? I dont believe there is no way how to save it... but my PC doesnt recognize the device anymore so I cant fix it or dont know how...
pls help
