XZ Premium Dual Bricked Forever? PLEASE HELP!! - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

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

[Q] Bricked after trying to flash CM10

Hi Guys,
So I unlocked my phone's bootloader, flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery and then tried to flash CM10.... something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo with the red text that says "This build is for development purposes only......".
I have tried just about everything I have read about, and I am still just as screwed. Have I permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks for your help.
First for the One XL it is suggested you use TWRP and not CWM
You can get it here from their website .
It tells you how to fastboot flash it.
If you did an OTA to 2.20 or your device came with 2.20 you probably need to flash the boot.img /kernel
So in your CM10 zip, extract the boot image.
and use fastboot to flash the boot img with the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and that should help you out.
I also suggest reflashing the rom with TWRP just in case. Hope this helps.
Can adb see the phone?

This is the one xl correct, not the international on x?
If you can get anything on your screen, your phone isn't hard-bricked.
First, which phone do you have? ClockworkMod Touch Recovery does not work on the AT&T One X (One XL). If you tried flashing a ROM through it, it's not going to work and it's probably not booting up because the ROM is corrupted.
I would start with flashing a new recovery in adb. Use TWRP, because even the basic CWM is not supported for this phone and can cause issues.
Can you get into recovery? If so is the SD card mountable?
First time I flashed i had a similar issue where the SD couldn't mount. I ended up having to run the factory RUU after relocking the bootloader & then start again. I waited for a later nightly to come out. Also seems to go better if you flash a different rom first like viper.

Doesn't matter. He flashed the wrong recovery (not for our phone). There is not Touch CWM for our version.
i should really refresh pages before replying

[Q] HTC J Butterfly Half Bricked

Hi, so i got my phone last week. And yesterday, I decided to try and flash some custom roms on it. My device is pretty funny, I live in Hong Kong and when i bought my device, they have done S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, even custom recovery with twrp AND cwm. Now the default recovery was twrp, I tried flashing some roms, tried different ones, my device doesn't acccept them, after installing the rom, my device boots, shows the red text, stuck there for around 15 seconds and it reboots itself into the same state. So I used my twrp backup and flashed the recovery to cwm to give it a shot, the results are the same. And then at point, i booted up into recovery and it says Entering Recovery, and it gets stuck there forever. I can't boot into the system either. I tried using fastboot clear the cache, reflash the two different recoveries, no luck. I can get into bootloader and nothing else. Tried using HBOOT CL99IMG.zip method, but my phone just doesnt accept the roms. Any ideas?
Thankyou, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any ideas? Anyone? Because all i need to do is to boot into twrp recovery. However, when i try to boot recovery it just says entering recovery, with the htc screen, and stays there forever. Any Suggestions?
Did you try "fastboot erase cache" command ?
Try to flash the boot.img included in your rom.zip with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Yea I did, apparently i got something. I mixed some files from the HTL21 Taiwan zip thingy, with the signed rom. I am able to boot into the os. However once I unlock it it crashes. Recovery still doesnt work :/
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion Appreciate it.
UPDATE: Now the phone isn't accepting anything from fastboot :/
It all says FAILED <remote:not allowed>
This is getting nuts lol
The fastboot is activated in the settings in your rom ?
Not sure about that, probably no :/ but thats the only rom i can get working
I can see it fastboot devices tho
anyone else? anymore ideas? :/
ok, so I got my phone kinda working. I used the htc butterfly toolkit, somehow flashing the X920e recoveries can make it work. I then restored from my previous backup with twrp, which contains system, data, boot. but when i boot into the system, it says loading widget, everything works fine for a while, then it suddenly crashes. I have tried restoring the system with only system and boot without data, still no luck. any ideas?? i have attached my log
any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

I Need Help Fixing Bootloop

So, I think I really screwed up. After I finally got my bootloader unlocked, (after some trouble) I tried using Kingroot with no luck. And me being the eager beaver that I am, I attempted installing TWRP in Flashtool with the "Select system to Flash" option. Now I'm stuck with a big fat "SONY" on a white background.
Whenever I tried installing TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.2-4-kagura" I'm stuck with < waiting for device >. That's why I tried flashing through Flashtool.
I'm on F8331.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I got TWRP working, and I'm able to boot into it. Now I'm guessing all I have to do is install SuperSU, and maybe flash a custom ROM?
Hi, are you tried with Flashtool with an Marshmallow firmware?, when I bricked my phone (F8332) the only solution was this.

First of all reflash you firmware using flashtool, reflash the twrp recovery that corresponds to your firmware then flash the supported androplus kernel for your firmware. After all the steps above access the recovery and try to flashing the latest supersu available. Your very welcome.
I ended up just flashing XplayZtation.

Sony Xperia X Compact - Bootloop

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

XZP Wont Boot after Flashing Standard Rom

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.
