Hello xda!
This is my first post here, and I am sorry that it is a one of me asking for Your Help.
When I first got the phone with 18.0.C.1.13 jelly bean it was a dream. I mean fast,responsive with a intuitive UI and with a low price tag.
However i made some OTA updates to kitkat and the phone became a fraction of what it once was. I now realize that I should have probably made a dalvik cache clean-up but i think i may have messed up the stock recovery with CWM and Twrp.
Long story short I got fed up with 18.3.1.C.1.17 CE and had found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762296
and downloaded XPERIA M2 D2303 Central Europe 18.0.C.1.13
Unfortunately RootLord links were broken so i downloaded from this user
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62242961&postcount=82
And then when i tried to flash the ftf for the first time everything unchecked.
On boot I got a boot loop
It starts with Xperia logo than some plasma waves resonating and then back to xperia logo and all over again.
I use flash tool 0.9.19.7.
Also i have noticed that in flash mode green light is only for a half a second while fast boot mode always stays blue.
I tried booting into stock recovery but I think i dont have one on my phone because a month ago i was experimenting with King root 4.1 and Cwm, Twrp.
I also downloaded SDK package installed Google drivers,flashtool drivers driver pack 1.5 from this forum
Also when I type adb devices into cmd or adb fastboot recovery nothing shows.
Please I am asking for your help because I dont know what to do, I have been trying to resolve this problem for three days.
Sorry for my English it is not my native tongue.
Hi, try with older version of flashtool, everything else from your description looks good(for me).
Here's a log file from flashtool v0.9.19.4 and the same firmware version.

If your bootloader is already unlocked the easiest way to update to latest firmware is through EMMA software.
1. Install emma and load services.
2. Reboot to flashmode - hold volume down while connect your M2 device to USB.
3. On emma select and flash latest update - 18.3.1.C.1.17
4. Update TA
Then if you want to use a 'permanent' recovery, download this TWRP by ericas and flash it via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To enter into recovery:
Hold Volume Down then Power OFF, when device vibrate release them.
Also, in this case (unlocked boot loader) you can use another(second) recovery too.
Good Luck
Hi AleksJ!
Thank you very much for your help.
I downloaded emma ran it and got the message that the bootloader was locked.
But as you can see from this screenshot imgurURL
It seems i was successful in updating firmware to 18.0.C.1.13
I think I should probably wipe cache and dalvik but i cant install via Flashtool(by Androxyde not emma) the recovery boot.img . I Choose option select system to flash and get this
pastebin Url
I also get that for system.sin and kernel.sin
Also I have a problem with adb devices not recognizing phone.

What's your final point then?
If you think that .ftf firmware file is broken, and can't trust on provided FlashTool log, then don't use it.
You can't apply boot.img whatever you want from wherever you want if your boot loader is locked.

Thank You for your help the problem has been resolved i had to tick wipe user data in flash tool.
I have learned my lesson. Next time i will use Titanium,Nandroid and Philz recovery before doing something like this again.
Always best to wipe everything and start fresh. Always done it.
D2303,18.3.1.C.1.15 kk, deodexed, debloated, rooted, philz touch recovery, bravia engine 2+x-reality+z3 super vivid, viper audio, xposed mods.
Today I accidently wiped my internal and external sd card from twrp recovery mode. I was on Lolipop 5.1.
As I wanted to install Cyanogenmod Rom I tried to reflash CWM recovery. Ater doing that I was not able to enter the twrp recovery anymore. I had accecs to the unlocked bootloader and tried to reinstall the boot, recovery and system via fastboot but without any success. The phone did not boot and I couldnt enter recovery mode anymrore.
Now I accidently flashed via fastboot a wrong boot and recovery firmware (4.1) and since that I can not even enter fastboot. The pictre shows where I am stuck. On the bootloader page it says:
Error
Func NO: 10 (FUNC_BOOT_RECOVERY)
Error NO: 2
Can somebody help me to repair my device? Its brandnew.
What can I do without a recovery, without a system and without fastboot.

No because I had twrp recovery installed and tried to flash cwm over it. After that I had no recovery at all. But I made some progress now... I am able to flash the same newest twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery to the phone and I managed also to flash the 5.1 stock recovery. I flashed BOOT.img from 5.1 and SYSTEM.img from 5.1 and I got rid of the error in fastboot menu.
Stock recovery I can flash via installer_r24.4.1-windows from acbka.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/orig-development/tool-android-4-4-5-1-pc-t3186984
And these two recoveries seems to be the only one that work on my phone....? Currently I have stock recovery installed and i put MT7-L09C900B324 on my sd card (dload/UPDATE.app) and did the three buttons rescue. It seemed to work but It stoped at 90% and still no luck. What am I doing wrong this time?
Hi Suite does not recognitze the phone. When I abort the istallation and reboot the phone starts with the Huawei Logo and goes black and starts to the Huawei logo and goes black and so on...
Here is a picture of where i am stuck at 90% right now, so close...:

SOLVED
After a 36 hour marathon my mate 7 is back and working. the trick was to flash the stock recovery for all Lollipop versions wich can be foudn here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...8-7-0-mate7-android-5-1-t3156779/post61958212 via linux. I somehow seem to have had trouble over wndows.
And after that do the three button rescue with the newest B 324 firmware which I have had installed before I destroyed my OS..
and my camera is now running normaly which was the initial reason i tried to install a other firmare.

When you say flash stock recovery for all LP versions, did you flash and then reboot each time? or flash over and when complete, flash over again still on fastboot?
Can you briefly describe in steps? Tnx! and Glad you were able to recover

I flashed via fastboot the stock recovery which you can download via the link above. the provider (user rowihel2012) claims, that this recovery works for all lolipop stock roms.
After that I made a reboot and pressed (power button and volume+) to check if its installed.
Than I downloaded the lollipop version I have had previously installed. In my case this was the B324 European version.
I put it on my sd card (dload/UPDATE.app) and launched the phone with the three button rescue method. The recovery recognized the rom on the sdcard and started to flash the OS.
After less than 5 min, my phone was restored.
I have made the experience, when using certain roms (B324, B308 etc..) with certain stock recoveries, I was not able to flash the OS and the recovery stoped always at 90%.
The recovery linked above seems to work great for the B324 version, I haven't tried any other stock roms with it.
I wonder if this will work for B327? Seems the actual last update for LP was B324, now I can't seem to get out of this firmware to go back to KK. When I flash transition B300, it's successful...but for some odd reason, when I flash 137, 143, 145 or 148...I auto go back to B327. This, after the fact I'm flashing those firmware's recoveries. Any ideas what I might do to get out of 327?
---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------
Also, what's this Vol+ and Power technique?, all I get is the three menu screen (reboot, factory reset and format cache).

You can try this recovery above which should work for all lollipop roms but I have no better idea as I have had basicly the same problem and could only flash the former rom i had installed whch was B324.
The Vol+ and Power i do to get into the recovery menu (the three menu screen) to check if the recovery was flashed successfully. I have had often the problem after flashing a recovery that it did not work. this is to check if the recovery works.
When i tried to flash a cwm recovery, i couldnt enter any recovery mode after that anymore. I panicked at this point but than i realised that not all recoveries did work for me. For example I could never flash a CWM recovery, not sure why. Maybe because I tried to flash a 4.4 recovery and I had a 5.1 BOOT.img installed?

I see, so then it seems like some recoveries did in fact work with fastboot on me, because the Vol+ and Power worked, but it either only put me in V100R001C900B300 OR MT7-L09C900B300. I've read that I can't just flash KK over LP, that I needed to flash the B300 which is why I flashed transition package first. Should I not have done this?
Once in transition mode though (I booted up and checked, then went back into recovery), if I flashed 4.4 (recovery), it oddly put me back to B327...strange even though the recovery flashed was B137 or B145.
Let me see this link above. I'm back again at 5.1.1 LP B327. I'll do instead fastboot and flash above the recovery and so on, and I'll post the results, if any. Oddly enough, if I flashed boot, recovery and system images of 4.4, I get an "Android" boot screen that hangs, no Huawei.
I really like LP because of some of the features not found in KK like the dual windows, camera tweaks, etc. But no root yet available. TWRP doesn't seem to work as well, fails in fastboot.

Okay...so I was able to flash down to B324, but not via the link provided. What I did was, flash B300 cust.img on (fastboot) then flash boot/recovery/cust/system.img (fastboot). Rebooted with VolumeUp + Power to check for recovery (success), performed a wipe and done! Back to B324.
Now I gotta figure how to go back down to B145, which is where I was at with Root and with no problems at all. If I flash B300 again and then B145...I get the "Android" logo (instead of Huawei) and then the HAM7 reboots and recovers itself back to B324.
Hey guys!
So, i was trying to install CM13 unofficial version, and wiped the system and internal storage using TWRP recovery. I was supposed to install the rom from a zip file i had placed in the external memory card. What i did, was, i rebooted the phone by mistake, after wiping it from the recovery without installing the ROM and now the phone is caught in a bootloop. I know i am an idiot to do that. I tried removing the battery and reboot it in recovery mode using the key combination with no luck. It just starts the boot loop. I tried using fastboot and adb from pc to push files into the internal memory, but my device is not getting detected on the adb anymore (maybe the usb debugging is disabled now?).
What i guess is stopping TWRP recovery from showing up is the lack of twrp/themes folder in the internal memory since i wiped it. But there might be some other cause that i am unaware of. What do i do now? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Hey! I'm having the same problem with my yu yureka.. Can anyone help me please!

Hi! I'm having the same problem with this post... Does anyone knows the solution of this problem. I'd be really glad if anyone could help me with this..please!
Hey are you able to boot into fastboot mode? If you can....
Prerequisites –
1. Make sure that you have 70-80% battery on your phone.
2. You need a PC and a USB cable to connect your phone to the PC.
3. Flashing the factory firmware will wipe all the data present in the internal memory. So, make a backup of that if you can.
4.Install all the necessary Device drivers.
DOWNLOADS -
1. Download the flash tools from here . http://www.mediafire.com/download/87gfz7mdch188an/Flashtools_For_Yu_Yureka.zip
2. Download the factory firmware from Here (cm 12.1) . http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/tomato/cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3JM-tomato-signed-fastboot.zip
Steps To Flash Factory Firmware –
1. Extract the flashtools zip in a new folder on the desktop.
2. Extract the factory firmware zip in the same folder and make sure that all of the flashtools files are also present.
3. Now, power off your phone. If you are stuck in a bootloop, then pull out the battery and reinsert it. (Do not switch on the phone.)
4. While pressing the Volume Up key, connect your phone to the PC with the help of a USB cable.
5. You should now see the fastboot logo on your device. If you did, leave the Volume Up key. (If you do not see the logo, retry the process.)
6. Now go to the folder where you extracted the flash tools and factory firmware and run the flash-all.bat by double clicking on it.
7. A command window will open and the flashing procedure will start. (Make sure that your device does not disconnect from your PC during the procedure.)
8. The command window will automatically close once the procedure is completed.
9. Disconnect your device and boot it up by pressing the Power button. (Since this is first boot after flashing the firmware, it may take upto 5 minutes.)
Done you should be back on cm 12.1

Ignore that and use other fastboot commands and go ahead, as your device is being detected in fastboot mode.

But when I am executing other fastboot commands it halts the process between with error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)".
I have read about this error and people suggested that I need to get into "Download mode" not "fastboot/bootload". To get into "download" mode I tried pressing "VoulumeDown+Power+Home", but nothing happened, it simply restarted the phone.
Please advise.

I unlocked the bootloader using the instructions from the Sony developer site. It worked, and then I flashed the recovery software using the flash tool, Emma, but when I press the buttons to boot in recovery mode, instead of this, my OS resets, like factory reset, or it doesn't boot, just vibrates. I don't know what to do. I want to try cyanogenmod and I want to flash it, but without recovery I can't, and it's possible to find on the Sony site the stock rom in case I want to come back to the stock OS? And something else. After the reset, the OS looks different. I have features that I didn't have before

You have to upgrade your bootloader via Emma and flash the recovery.img via fastboot.
Thank you. I flashed a TWRP recovery and it worked.

No notification led and illumination bar blinking after rebooting device. I tried combination of power button + volume up or power button + volume down. Used Titanium backup to reboot into recovery. Ran adb command to reboot into recovery all failed.

Hi
installed the multiple recovery for xperia m2 and it worked well. Illuminating blue light comes up during boot. Then i hold the volume up button and it turns green which allows me to boot into recovery
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
i got a similar problem but i wasn't able to get into flashmode nor fastboot neither i was able to charge my device when i was comming from XZ Rom bcs i was so buggy but i managed to fix it by force turning it off ( power + vol up 3 vibs ) then i left the phone for 10 seconds then suddenly i entred flashmode without doing anything then i flashed the original FTF
i hope i can help you with this

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
