Ok so I decided after using this thing stock for ages I was going to try CM11. Spent all day reading and trying to figure this out.
Used Krabappel guide to downgrade to .534 via flashtools. SUCCESSFUL.
Unlocked Bootloader via Sony official. SUCCESSFUL.
Backed up TA via guide. SUCCESSFUL.
Rooted via Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33. SUCCESSFUL.
Then moved onto trying to find/install a recovery so I could flash the CM11 rom. Now where things seem to have gone awry...
Flashed advanced stock kernel v4 by krabappel2548 in accordance to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439298
Via this command: fastboot flash boot adv-stock-v4.img
Claimed it ran through successfully. Tried to adb reboot recovery, no devices found.
Now device will not turn on. Holding down the power button resulted in a single buzz, no screen activity. Volume up+power gave the three vibrations for reset, no screen activity. Currently red blinking light when plugged in via usb.
Not sure where to go from here. Currently sitting and charging while blinking away.
Thanks for looking. This was so much easier on nexus devices lol!
