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
Thanks for the assistance

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

Hello, I think my NS is bricked...
I was in recovery, I Unmounted /SDcard, I remounted /sdcard. I went to reboot system, but that's not what happened. Instead I'm in fastboot.
At the top, it says In red caps: FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG.
My volume buttons and power button aren't working. I cant do anything. I'm not good with ADB, but is there a solution there? I can't get into my phone at all, I can only stay in fastboot. Can anyone help?
Your phone does not have a boot , therefore cannot start a ROM, and it does not have a recovery. It says that it is in fastboot, therefore it can listen to your pc and download a recovery from it.
You probably used fastboot to unlock your boot loader.
You therefore have to find a thread with instruction to unlock the boot loader. It will give you instruction and files for downloading a recovery image to your phone.
Good luck

I dunno about that, I'll try it, but when plugged in whilst in fastboot, my computer doesnt recognize anything.
you need to install the drivers on your PC, then suggest you install CWM, root, flash a rom of your choice.
This is a good place to start
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
I have the drivers installed properly, I rooted my phone a few months back..
nope, if your phone is not recognised you need to reinstall the drivers, happens all the time...just try it
Try this... Just "play along" until you get to the "unlock bootloader" option.
Once you get all that done, it should install CWM and everything for you. I have not tried it in your exact scenario; however, I have used variations of this tool for ages.

if your stuck in fast boot mode , just flash original image from here :- https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/soju-jro03e-factory-c9f5a67d.tgz , using fastboot flash commands , pm me if you need a hand , ok
Start with this get ADB working right.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Then this guide to flash CWM
http://www.intomobile.com/2012/01/30/install-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s/
After getting CWM to work, press volume up +power to go to Fastboot then choose recovery to enter CWM
if all works well you can flash any ROM you want
Good luck
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.
Hold volume down and connect USB will take u to fastboot. Tried to flash a FTF yet?

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.
I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.
Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

You dont need recovery, you need bootloader.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:
USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

If I was you I would use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
instead of the XZ rom. I tried this rom and it worked, but at the time I tried it it was a little buggy atleast.
Download Androplus kernel from the page above.
Extraxt the boot.img from the androplus kernel rar file and download and install minimal adb and fastboot.
Make sure you have all drivers installed
Connect your phone in fastboot mode and in the command line opened from minimal adb and fastbot type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that you can download from the same link I put above a twrp recovery img.
Put this img file also in your adb root directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (your recovery img file might be named different) make sure you change twrp.img as I typed to your filename.
If you want to root your phone (ofcourse probably :laugh download latest supersu zip file which you can flash from within recovery.
First after flashing the kernel and recovery let it make a full boot and see if all is good.
If everything is fine then you can put the supersu zip file on your phone or sd card.
Turn off your phone and turn it back on. As soon as the orange /yellow kinda led starts burning keep pressing volume down button and then you should get into recovery.
Flash the supersu zip and reboot, first reboot might be a bootloop but dont interrupt it, it is supposed to be like that for first boot.
If everything went well you should now be rooted on custom androplus kernel and have recovery
hope this helps

Ah yes. I've ran into similar issues last time I tried to revert from Pixel Experience Android 11 to stock RMQ firmware. I noticed if you start sending the recovery with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, the fastboot cmd waits for device, you enter fastboot mode and then connect to the PC via usb 2.0 port the recovery will be successfully flashed BUT only that one file, whatever you want to flash next time for example vbmeta or system, vendor.img you'll have to repeat the cycle. Disconnect the usb cable, enter the flashing command to fastboot cmd on PC, boot back again to fastboot mode on your phone then connect the usb cable. This solved the issue for me.

It's worth a try for sure. Yesterday it took me more than 6 hours to set up a working RUI after Pixel Experience. One of these issues was that I couldn't flash custom recovery and vbmeta. I Always keep a modified vbmeta and twrp.img on my external SD card once I successfully managed to boot up into twrp after fastboot flash. Remember, keeping custom recovery installed should be your number one priority for you can pretty much solve anything with it.

indeeed, custom recovery is the turning point to recover almost anything ! given the point that one manages to install it in the first place

Hi, I actually managed to flash the recovery, how ever it seem not to properly overwrite the original recovery.
I mean, i can flash and boot in to TWRP, only once at a time, once I exit TWRP and reboot into recovery, I land into the Realme recovery again !!!!! dont know whats wrong
