Hi, i hope someonecan help me, i was to root my phone, an xperia E, i've done it before with a thread i found here, i did everything ok and it worked but i had to flash the stock room so i could install magisk root but i made the mistake of try flashing the recovery before flashing the Boot.img so now every time i try going into fastmode using thecomand "adb reboot fastboot" the cellphone restarts normaly and by holding volume down and then conecting the usb cable, the led goes red as fastboot and then goes green and the computer does not recongnize the device.
i have all drivers installed, i repeat, i've done it befor and it worked, but this time i forgot to flash the boot image so i think is because of this.
Thank you for your help

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
after lots of reading i decided to try out cyanogenmod 12!
after full backup (even ta-partition) i downgraded my z3 to .93 and then root it succsesfully with giefroot!
everything went fine until i tryd to install the boot.img over fastboot....
i dont know exactly what went wrong but now the normal boot hangs on the sony sign and if i want to boot into flashmode (vol+ & power on button) it just throws me into fastboot mode! so i kinda stuck here and dont know what to do
how can i get out of fastboot mode? what did i wrong?
please help!
a fastboot devices gives me a device back
an adb not
i hope there is some recovery option from fastboot
It sounds like you didn't unlock your bootloader? If so either try to unlock it with flashtool (just search for a tutorial on XDA) or reflash an official fw with flash tool to recover your device.
You should be able to enter flash mode by just pressing volume down (powered off device) while plugging in the USB port.

Not only does it sound like you have not unlocked the bootloader, but you probably have not backed up your TA, as you said you did that before you downgraded and rooted, however, you have to backup the TA partition AFTER rooting and BEFORE unlocking
I tried my hands in android system first i start with rooting with kingroot pc app where i just need to plug my usb and click on start root in pc app, that's how i rooted my Sony Xperia S
then i unlock bootloader by sony official website Unlock your boot loader
After unlocking bootloader i tried to install latest sony walkman album and camera app which is modified for for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with normal apk install but all failed
i saw somewhere that i need to install these app in recovery mode so i installed CWN app from playstore and it wasn't working well in my phone so i was just playing around and i clicked on reboot option
after sony logo phone stuck on boop animation for hours its same nothing change then i google lil how to come out of it then use fastboot command to install CWN first then TWRP recovery tool (fastboot flash boot recovery.img) it successfully installed since then whenever i turned my phone on i come to TWRP
In TWRP i tried factory reset,clear cache and also tried to do adb sideload but it failed but i didnt clear my internal memory and android OS
when i connect my phone with usb in windows XP while starting adb sideload it prompt me for driver but even after download driver from XDA and official Sony website both does not work with it and its end up with driver cannot installed. i can't even put any file in my phone so whatever i have to do is with pc only
In doing all this for 2 3 days my phone was on fastboot (blue light) then suddenly notification light turned into red light then i thought it can be stand by mode i tired to press power button ,vol button, combination buttons and also tired to charge with usb but no luck then i took out battery and charge it separately then put it back now its working as before (recovery mode )
So i stuck in TWRP recovery everytime i boot and i only have 2 option (that what i think )
do something with fastboot cuz adb is not detecting devices at all and TWRP
so guys please help me to boot into my android OS I dont want to install any other os i want to run my old os and please tell me for next time how to run os and recovery mode as i want without stuck anywhere
Still no answer
Please super experts i need your help please help me guys

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

Guys,
I need help. I'm struggling for the last 3 days trying to revive my phone with no sucess. :crying::crying::crying:
I managed to put a custom rom sucessfully, but i had to make a restore on recovery mode.
During the restore process some error ocurred, something like "something not mounted", i did'nt have the ROM to flash anymore. For no reason i decied do reboot the phone.
Now i can't enter recovery anymore and the phone is froze on the "Sony Xperia" on the begginig.
Since start i'm having difficulty with the Z3 driver for Windows 10. To enter recovery mode i tryed to adb reboot recover but my adb doesn't work.
It's strange..
if i type fastboot devices it's show.
if i type adb devices it's show's "no emulators/xxx found".
I need help, don't know what to do anymore.
TLDR:
- Frozen at "Sony Xperia"
- Recovery don't enter pressing Volume Down/UP
- adb devices doesnt' work.
- fastboot devices work
Thank you!

You have some choices to restor stock rom:
1) Try Xperia compagnon fron Sony ==> Software repair (not shure about the label in english version)
2) Use flashtool (google for it) and a rom (*.ftf) of your choice.
When you are back to stock, then you can install a custom rom again

Hey,
Sounds like a corrupted system, not too sure what happened with the recovery though.
Try this out:
1. You need the phone driver and the fastboot & ADB driver. You can get the Sony phone drivers from the Xperia PC Companion. You can get fastboot & adb drivers almost anywhere, just google for them or scroll a bit through xda.
2. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't done so already here.
3. boot into fastboot mode by completely powering off the phone then holding "power+volume up" and waiting until a blue LED appears in the top left.
4. Find a custom recovery, rename it to recovery.img, navigate to the folder that contains it in CMD (i.e. cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Android) and type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5.You should now be able to boot into recovery again. All that's left is find a ROM of your liking, push it to the phone in ADB and install it.
Hope this helps!
