Wiperd partitions can't go to CWM

Dabman · May 7, 2014

Hei. Yesterday i unlocked m xperia z ultra, after process i install cwm, then i went to recovery and before install CM i wiped all partition.
Now i have a problem to go in CWM and phone is stucking on SONY logo ( is normal because is no any system on it )
How can i reflash it?

Is any possibility to lock bootloader and flash it via SEUS?

Or any other suggestion?

No system = No boot

We actually need some of the sony stuff on the phone to get the custom ROMs to work, and you may well have deleted those bits.

To be safe I would download a generic US/EU 757 FTF and flash that with Flashtool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool in flashmode. there are guides on here for doing that if you dont know how.

after that you will need to flash a recovery again, the best one to use is the on in the kernel that is in the ROM's zip (boot.img) this can also be flashed with flashtool (fastboot mode this time). Once you have recovery flash the ROM and just wipe data/cache/dalvik

Can you get it into flashmode? Vol down when connecting to PC, led will flash (green?) for about .5 sec before going out.

If you can get it into flash mode it should be an easy fix.

What is the output to flashtool then you do both fastboot and flash mode?

- Download QuickIMG
- Download BOOT.img
- Put your Ultra in Fastboot (Blue LED)
- Open QuickIMG
- Flash BOOT.img
- Disconnect your Ultra and power it on. Press VOL UP a couple of times when the LED turns on. You're now in Recovery. Flash CM11 or whatever again.

I think you need to get into flash mode and flash loader/partitions/elable/kernel/rpm/etc no need to flash system. I hope that you can get it back

Hmmm custom is working but imei is gone, and flash tool is not working :/

So you have a booting ZU now, but imei is missing?

the imei issue is from a non compatible, but in your case maybe missing, baseband. If you go to settings/about phone what is the baseband?

After a little reading I found these instructions for flashing a ftf via adb and fastboot:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562110

Extract the ftf (you may need to change the extension to .zip) then you will get something like 10 *.sin files, kernel.sin, system.sin, userdata.sin, etc

Should be able to then flash them with the fastboot command

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot flash system system.sin
fastboot flash userdata userdata.sin
...
Flash all of them to go back to a stock system

This is untested by me so use with caution, you might want to do a bit more research on fastboot/adb and flashing

you might have to install adt-bundle

or another?

sorry, I misread your post.

What partitions did you wipe fs_1 and fs_2? I think these will be stopping the radio working. anythig else that you wiped (not worried about data and system and cache)

It would be much easier if flashmode worked

Exactly what happens then you do this:

Turn off phone
Hold vol. down key
Connect to PC

How long does it stay in flashmode and you say flashtool doesn't see it in flashmode?

phone is detected in flash mode, about 1min tjen is boot to sustem. but it cant be flashed... flasher dont reconize phone.

I'm having trouble understanding the first line.
Have you tried to uninstall all the drivers and reinstall them?
