HELP!!
new bought c5503, upgraded to the latest 10.4.1.B.0.101.
I unlocked the bootloader first, then use 'fastboot' flash the CWM recovery(v6.0.3.6), after that, my phone can't start up, only show the "free xperia" logo, and the xperia logo, then the screen mess, repeat and repeat.
I can go into the cwm recovery with the "UP" volume key.
is there anyone can help me with this situation? many thanks!!!

well.. if you can enter the recovery mode, you can clean flash again the rom, make sure you wipe factory data, partition chace and dalvik chace, and then flash it, and then flash gapps.. i've been there in that situation manytimes, even worse..! try as many as rom suits you.. for now im using unoficial carbon rom for xperia zr.. hope it would help ;)

I guess that you have flashed a custom kernel and tried to make a normal boot ...Xperia ZR won't boot normaly when you flash a custom kernel!!Just enter to recovery mode,flash root files,and then flash the stock kernel and the device will boot normaly
