Hi everyone, Im new here I'm from z2 forum.. Im posting this in behalf of my brother..
He got his phone softbricked I think.
He flashed ftf kernel 230 to root his 4.4.4 xperia z and returned it back to its normal kernel.
He then flashed NUTs dual recovery and flashed existenz rom 3.0 but i think he made a mistake he flashed a flashable zip of recovery to maintain his recovery, he thought it will disappear after flashing a ROM.
Then it wont boot, after the sony logo, it is stuck at black screen. It wont boot on its recovery..
Does flashing stock ftf will recover his phone? thanks in advance guys! :D

Yup I revived the phone using flashtool, but it seems that the existenz rom is the one making the black screen. again after flashing the rom black screen pops out.
Hi there, i think i have the same problem.I followed the instructions of rooting(locked bootloader) and installing the existenz rom.After flashing the rom i get the sony logo and the black screen.Can somebody give me instructions how to revive my phone using flashtool.Thanks.

Hi again, i managed to unbrick my phone by flashing a another ftf.My question now what could have i done wrong so i got to the black screen?Should i unlock the bootloader and try again?What you guys suggest?Thanks


*UPDATE*
Installed existenz rom 3.0 using the cwm recovery from nut dual.Using TWRP recovery for flashing the rom and reboot after will get you a black screen,

Actually you reply is fast :p, no need to apologize.Flashing twrp was the problem for me,cwm recovery worked.So you also had problem with twrp then?
