Hello, i seem to have an issue with my Xperia Z5
I will begin from the start.
So earlier today i flashed the @infected_ AOSP Android N build. Flashing was good, all went well.
But then, when i booted up the device, my LED for the recovery did not blink at all. I tried pressing Vol Up rapidly, yet to no avail.
So i was stuck on N for a while and then decided to go back to stock using Flashtool. I installed the Nordic firmware and all went well. So now i am on stock.
Then, i went to fastboot mode and flashed the TWRP recovery from infected. It is version 3.0.2.0. I have however, the same problem. The LED does not blink, and when i want to boot into TWRP using fastboot, it stays at the SONY splash. My computer gives me a error message, that the device could not be recognized.
Any help is greatly appreciated, i just hope that i didn't fry my recovery partition.
EDIT1: Tried CM Recovery, problem persists.
EDIT2: Will try Androplus kernel and Androplus boot.img, will see if i get different results.
Thanks,

Well.
Got the recovery working using AndroPlus. Problem is solved, if anyone could close the thread, that would be greatly appreciated.

I think I bricked the recovery for my phone. The OS does boot, and I can get to "download" mode. If I try to get in to recovery, whether its with vol-up+vol-down+power or rebooting to recovery from the OS, the phone just loops. It shows the Galaxy S logo than the screen goes black than back to the logo. I believe when I flashed the 2.3.3 ROM, it got screwed. It worked before hand. When I flashed the ROM via Odin, on the first attempt, it wiped something than failed. Than I got an icon on the phone (a phone icon with a ! and a computer screen icon) and wouldn't do anything past that. I again reflashed the ROM and the OS came up, but noticed the recovery doesn't work anymore. I've tried to flash the once more for good measures, and I tried the modified recovery binary, but same results. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get with resolving this.
Thanks
I actually resolved this by flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696.
Xperia Z3 won't boot to recovery; boots normally instead
Hi,
So I recently rooted my device using this guide and updated to lollipop using the links inside. However, I realized I didn't update to the latest version (5.0.2 instead of 5.1.1). So I decided to do that, when I realized I couldn't boot into recovery. Whenever I tried, the device would turn off instead. I downloaded Quick Boot, and when I hit to recovery, it instead just boots up as if it was just a normal restart.
Help would be appreciated.
Have you installed a recovery?
Unless you have there is no user accessible recovery on Xperia devices.
I managed to fix the problem. It turns out I deleted something I wasn't suppose to, so I just re-did the process over again.
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

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

I had LineageOS 14.1 ROM installed using TWRP recovery in Xperia L. A new update came through and installed it using TWRP recovery. Successfully installed with a message and just after pressing reboot, the phone went dead. The phone just gives a boot vibration nothing else. No SONY logo, no backlight, nothing. On connecting it to charging or laptop, it turns on red LED. On disconnecting the phone, the red LED remains turned ON till battery remove.Has the phone bricked? Please, any suggestions to help the phone boot up?
EDIT: It was a kernel problem. Flashed new kernel using flashtool in fastboot mode. Surprisingly, fastboot mode didn't worked before lol. Sorry for inconvenience. Remove this.
I don't think that it is bricked. Try to boot into fastboot mode and then into recovery and do a full wipe. Try another rom or reflash lineage 14.1
Have some experience in flashing Rom's in my time but tried to flash Carbon Rom on my 6 yesterday and got myself into a pickle.
Unlocked and installed TWRP Blue Spark and Root using the Toolkit.
When I was back in Twrp I installed the Rom and TWRP again and rebooted.
That's where the problem started. When it rebooted into TWRP I could not find where the GAPPS was. The directory structed seemed very strange. SDCARD was there but nothing in it. Could not find the user directory at all.
Carbon would not come out of bootloop.
Tried to fastboot stock and then was left with a blank screen and a blue light only.
Only the MSM unbrick tool helped me out.
Can someone see what I did wrong here in not being able to find the gapps?
Thanks

For me this happened a few times, including when I tried to 'fastboot boot' a wrong image or some latest bluespask Twrps. This is the state when the the phone has hung trying to execute something. The remedy is to hold the power button pressed for something like 10 seconds and the phone will switch off (this is a hardware feature so shlould not fail). After that I go to fastboot normally - press volUp+Power for a few seconds till the fastboot message. Also, make sure that you are not charging, as this seems to have prevented me going to fastboot once.
