Hi, help would really be appreciated (I'm extremely new to all of this)
I have a Sony Xperia X Compact. I unlocked my bootloader, then I wanted to get TWRP.
I flashed TWRP, and failed to get into recovery mode first time, the phone loaded as normal without issues. Once I got into TWRP it failed to create a backup, so I thought maybe it's to do with my memory space being too low - I rebooted via TWRP to take a look. This is where the bootloop began - I can't get past 'Sony'.
I have been searching for ages and trying to find the fix, and I've noticed in TWRP it tells me I have no OS. It appears I have wiped my phone entirely?
I can detect my phone with 'fastboot devices' but not 'adb devices'
Where should I go from now? Do i attempt to flash a ROM, or is there more to it? I have attempted to flash a ROM but it says it can't load the .img file.
Thank you

I have a Z3 dual, and I seem to have no recovery (or even a partition). The phone has no data saved so it is safe to reinstall firmware and start over. But I am trying to get the phone going for use. I currently have 5.0.2 (rooted)installed, and want to boot to recovery to flash a zip file. I have tried a million times to do this in kitkat as well as the current upgrade. In all cases there is no recovery. TWRP cannot create a custom one and there is no recovery to boot into. I installed goomanager and tried to create a custom recovery and got the message "No recovery can be found on your device". Now, I have read that some xperia models actually did not come with any stock recovery (but I cannot verify this). I believe this might the problem from the very start. So, how do I create a custom recovery, where there seems to never have been a stock recovery to begin with. It seems like an endless loop of trying to create a custom recovery, only to be told by TWRP or goomanager that you cannot boot into recovery because there isn't any. I hope this makes sense what I am describing. I have tried many times to create a custom recovery, did re-installs of the firmware (downgraded, upgraded -- ALWAYS ROOTED), tried with bootloader locked and unlocked -- no luck in all permutations and combinations. In the end I cannot boot into the TWRP recovery screen (or any recovery screen for that matter). It simply just hangs for a bit then simply boots normally. Sometimes it gives a message telling me there is no recovery to be found. I know I am missing something, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi All,
I've been trying to install TWRP, Root etc on my XZP since yesterday. I've done something wrong at some point, and now my phone will not boot at all.
I had no troubles unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP etc initially. I then tried to install a custom rom from these forums and that's where things spiraled downwards for me.
As part of that procedure, I needed to flash the latest sony firmware first. That went fine.
However, now TWRP is not able to decrypt storage, so I'm not able to flash anything else. Perhaps this is because I booted into the new sony firmware and forgot change the pattern/fingerprint to pin/fingerprint.
So I'm not able to unlock the storage via TWRP by entering a password.
I tried to reflash the same firmware again using newflasher. But the phone won't boot at all. It turns off immediately after the Unlocked bootloader warning. It's not going into a boot loop. Just turns off.
I then tried to flash the TWRP recovery image using adb fastboot command, and the flash seemed to execute properly, but I still can not boot into recovery.
Is it possible the main storage is still encrypted, so nothing can flash to it? Bricked? If so, how do I proceed?
I read something about reformatting partitions? But I'm not able to get into TWRP recovery menu to do this.
*EDIT: I reflashed trwp recovery image, and am not able to boot into recovery. I still can not unlock (unencrypt) the main storage though.
*2nd EDIT: I followed the instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-data-t3830897
I was then able to flash the stock ROM back onto my device, and I'm able to boot my phone up. I'll look at installing a custom ROM at a later date.

Got my new XZP yesterday, unlocked it fine. But Im a dumbass and WIPED THE WHOLE THING so there's No OS. No matter how many times I try to Wipe it and Flash TWRP it Won't boot into TWRP. It won't even give me a Sony Logo. It only gives me the "Your device is unlocked - Boot in 5 seconds " message and then Endlessly will do that. I can't boot into recovery. I need to know if there's a way to remedy this I'm desperate as hell cause I rooted my Xperia X just fine. I even used Newflasher to flash a new updated Stock ROM to it. Seemed to work fine, still wouldn't give me a Sony Logo or Boot into recovery.
PLEASE HELP!!! Edit: I re flashed just a system .sin and that allowed me to get back into TWRP. I still have no clue why flashing a ROM didn't work. But I have TWRP and an SD Card.

that is very very interesting... did you try flashtool and flash older android version?
Can you boot into Fastboot and flash a valid rom via newflasher?
It could be possible, that in fastboot the screen is still dark
Hi all!
I have 2 same phones, after microphones in my first Kagura died, I've bought another used XZ.
But I don't use stock ROMs and decided to flash Pie ROM.
Downgraded to 6.0, backed up TA partition, Flashed back 8.0.0. After that I've successfully unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, last oem for Pie, and tried to flash my normal set of zip's - aosp, magisk ang gapps (these work normal on my first XZ).
But this combination didn't boot, asked a password and rebooted.
I've tried make full twrp-backup of my first XZ and restore it on the second.
The first try - I've restored everything but TA. Thought that they are not interchangeable, don't know. Tried to boot system - it was stuck on SONY logo.
Rebooted to TWRP and restored TA (thought that was needed to boot) - but after that I'm stuck only in flash mode, no even fastboot.
And if I try to flash any FTF, I get an error "Error processing *.sin".
Please, help me
As I told in telegram use Sony's Emma tool to fix it. It will detect your phone and attempt flash stock frimware.

hi, i was trying to add a custom rom but when I tried to install lineage with a zip (as i saw a tutorial do the same), it had an error. I chose to restart the device to boot normally, but it ended up having me get stuck on the fastboot mode, is there a way to exit it as the only solution i read was to wait until the battery dies?
(my phone does have an unlocked bootloader and it was rooted beforehand)
i am kind of lost so i may have left out any information
