So I tried to sideload a custom ROM (the PA one, from this thread) using adb and the sideload option on the CWM recovery. I did a factory reset first, installed the ROM afterwards and then rebooted the device. Unfortunately, something went really wrong along the way, because now I can't even boot into recovery.
Connecting the device to my PC and running 'adb devices' returns:
Code:
E:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
37714ecd recovery
Any hope?

I tried to connect my phone in fastboot (powered off, hold the '+ vol' button and plug in the USB, the LED turns blue), but when I try to flash the ftf file (using these instructions), flashtool coughs up an error saying
Code:

To flash ftf you need volume - (down) ann connect to usb, you'll have green light
blue light = fastboot mode (for flashing kernels) volume +
green light = flashmode (for ftf's) volume - and connect to usb
from that tut, don't exclude anything you also need kernel to be flashed in order XJ to boot.
Good Luck!

We're getting somewhere! I flashed this ftl file using flashmode, as you suggested. Tried to tinker with the device a bit, see if could coax a response out of it. I connected it in fastboot mode and flashed the boot.img file. I could go into CWM recovery, but the stock ROM didn't agree with it, so the phone turned itself off every minute or so. Flashed stock kernel and it works! Thanks a lot man!

Thanks. I downloaded both files - App and FTF, launched FlashTool (Windows), i chose Flashmode, and linked to file FTF. Everything is all right, but after clicking OK the program displaying prompt "How to put phone in FastBoot mode" - of course my phone is already in this mode. What is the cause?
Greetings!

I had the same problem when i tried to flash something i ended up having the same problem. Phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode.
I also have the Sony Xperia S LT26i.
Flash the phone using fastboot using this command: "Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin".
For that you need the kernel file. I'm guessing that your kernel and my kernel are the same because we have the same phone. If you want the kernel file, email me then i will send you the files. Hope this helped

Hello Guys.
I have a little problem after succesfull unlocking bootloader and adding a CWM Link. My d2303 has a bootloop , ill try to flash it with flashtool but when i go in flashmode and choose the file phone will go ON without using a power button... Still i can enter in CWM but i cant install a zip with stock 4.4.4 (I dont try older versions yet)
So i cant flash it and now i need help .
@edit: After download stock 4.3 recovery will see rom but cannot flash it cause of error "failed to load keys installation aborted" . Any ideas how to fix it?.
really sorry for my bad eng but i learn it at home alone
You can try to flash stock kernel with Flashtool but using fastboot instead of flashmode. You can try entering fastboot holding Vol + and connecting the phone to PC.

@edit: aw my bad i didnt read properly, will try with stock kernel.
@edit2: now bootlooping 1 sec after a home screen.
@edit3: Problem solved, just need to relock bootloader then flash in FT... i dont know the difference but work...
If you relocked bootloader now you can flash it using Sony PS Companion to get a full stock OS with right customization and start from scratch.

No i cant even if i use "repair" option. Companion give a info i have a latest compilation. Flashtoll do the job after relock in 1st hit.
My mistake, my bad mistake, I was trying to gain root and to flash a CM rom, but after first successfull flash of a boot.img with fastboot, I have tried to flash the rom with TWRP but my device was recognized as a wrong model, so I couldn't to flash the rom (in settings it was recognized correctly as D6603), so I decided to flash another boot.img, but it was for Lollipop instead Kitkat and now I can't put my device in flash mode or in fastboot mode to flash the correct boot.img or a fw, turning on the Z3 the display lights on and seems to have a bootloop, I see the splashscreen, but nothing else.
Is there a way to recover it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've tried with volume down (flash mode) and volume up (fastboot mode), nothing seems to works.....
EDIT: wow! now I was able to reboot it into recovery, but I don't know if it's useful, it's the Cyanogen recovery.
EDIT2: Yeaaahhh, from recovery I could reboot it into fastboot mode and to flash the correct boot.img, the device is recovered, I've tried one hour before, sorry to bother the community.

Press Win key+R, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
You will see the list of devices connected to your PC. If you connect your phone and your PC recognizes it, the list will refresh.
Try to see if the list refreshes when you put your D2202 into flash mode (with the green LED).
If it refreshes, look if a new device has appeared in any menu.

Maybe but I don't know becouse if USB doesn't work fastboot mode wouldn't connect, but it is connecting.
You have to flash a rom through fastboot mode, so you need to find system.img and boot.img from stock rom of a D2202 (unfortunately I have D2203 variant so I can't backup my phone, but I can help you findind the files on XDA) and flash it though flash tool.
You can also try to download an ADB toolbox and run the command:
fastboot erase userdata
(this command will remove all your apps' data but can fix your issue)

Try these steps
Follow this guide to install ADB toolkit.
Then open Sony Flashtool and select the XF icon.
Find Xperia E3 and select D2202 variant. In the right panel you will see a lot of entries with countries and telephone companies, select one and click in the field of "Available firmware:". Download the rom.
When it finishes, close XperiFirm. Click on thunder icon, select Fastboot mode, connect your phone off with vol + pressed (blue LED) to the PC and then press on Select system to Flash. It will ask for a sin file. You have to select a system_....sin, which is in C:\Users\(your user profile folder)\.flashtool\firmwares\Downloads\D2202_...\
and let process finish.
Then press on Select kernel to Flash and select, in the same folder as before, a file called kernel_....sin
When it finishes you can disconnect your pone and try to power it on.
I have a Xperia E3 D2212 and I made the whole process, the problem is that I could not increase the storage memory and FlashTools no longer recognizes my cell phone as a D2212, it recognizes as a D2203, this is because it changed the Kernel in TWRP . Would you like to go back to the Original Kernel ??
Hi,
this is what happened.
I unlocked the bootloader of my z5, afterwards I flashed the twrp recovery.
After that I rebooted my phone and it only hangs on the kernel screen, it wont enter recovery neither boot into system.
Then I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool but it wont go into flashmode either.
Tried it even with fastboot mode and nothing.
Any suggestions?

After unlocking the bootloader you should have flashed a custom kernel like Androplus V36 first before flashing the recovery img.
I had a similar case I think but with my old z1 compact. When you connect your phone via usb, is anything happen? What color is the led?
What I did was just make sure fastboot and flashmode drivers are installed. Kept plugging the phone while pressing volume button up and down and keep playing with it.
Make sure battery is fully charged and maybe try a different cable if you have another one.
If you succeed and manage to get into flashmode then reflash your ftf file and then let it boot.
If all is good and well, then download androplus kernel for example and extract the boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
Install minimal adb and fastboot and connect into fastboot mode
Place the boot.img file extracted from androplus kernel in your minimal adb folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it says okay two times u can then flash twrp recovery by using the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where twrp.img replaced by the name of your recovery img file.
Sorry if im not clear enough, but I hope this helps you.
Well, the led only flashes shortly in red, after that comes the kernel bootlogo and nothing else.
When the bootlogo shows up the is not flashing in any color.
When I try to connect it to pc it wont recognize it, and the phone starts booting and hangs on the kernel bootlogo again.

Have you tried connecting and opening xperia companion to see if you can do a software repair there?
Or else, I would just leave it connected to a charger for the night and try again, and just keep playing with the volume up and down button while connecting it.
Also you can try installing your drivers another time, and try an older or newer version of Flashtool.... this has helped a couple of times too for me in the past so thats another thing you could try.
Good luckk:good:
Well at this moment my pc just decided to recognize the device so I am flashing now the stock firmware ATM

Good to hear you revived your phone
Remember if you wanna flash custom kernel:
First unlock bootloader if it isnt ofcourse
Via minimal adb and fastboot flash boot.img from a custom kernel of your choice, I would recommend androplus kernel v36.
Next you could flash a twrp recovery.img via fastboot right after flashing the kernel, but I would first boot the system for a time to see if it boots okay.
Good luck
