If anyone doesn't have a better idea, you will probably have to repair from PCC.

Thanks fort replying.

The phone isn't detecting in PC companion. Can you suggest how to connect it, using fast boot methods etc.?

It wont detect it. Go to update and when it tells you no device detected, click repair. When it prepares the firmware and asks you to connect it, hold vol down while plugging it in. IIRC that's how I did it.
PS: it'll get wiped

Sony Xperia M
Sony Xperia X
In the last time the phone booted ADB was enabled, then you should be able to do the following adb commands while in the bootloop:
Code:
adb pull /data/app .\app
adb pull /data/data .\data
adb pull /sdcard .\sdcard

Then you flash it in repair mode through SUS or PC Companion, after that enable ADB and do the following commands, but make sure your working dir is the same used during adb pull, otherwise it'll fail:
Code:
adb push .\app /data/app
adb push .\data /data/data
adb push .\sdcard /sdcard

If ADB wasn't enabled, then you will need Flash Tool and a FTF file for Xperia M, choosing to flash only /system partition should make it work again with minimal data loss (any app/mod that modified the /system partition will be lost)

Thats probably because you are using the wrong boot image file of CWM. make sure you have the proper file i.e for the proper firmware and redo what you already know update and flash boot :)

Hi guys, please help, I have a simmilar problem.
I have (successfully) rooted my phone while leaving bootloader unlocked, but than I've realized that I have to unlock it in order to install CM11.
I have followed the instructions on SE folder and got the message that bootloader is successfully unlocked.
After that, the phone enters a bootloop every time I try to turn it on. Then, I've instaled CWM using flashtool and boot.img from CM11(kernel)?
Maybe the last one was bad idea, but I wanted to try to simply install new rom and see if it will help.
But I've stopped to ask for advice, is that the right thing to do or something else?

edit:
Because I've instaled CM11's boot.img(kernel) I don't know if I can simply use PC companion repair? And if I use PC companion what will happen with my root? And is it safe just to try to continue with installing CM11?

Do you fixed the bootloop after unlocking bootloader?
Or maybe you used an invalid cwm.

Don't update using pcc or ur phone will brick. Just download the 4.3 Ftf and flash via flashtool. Then flash cwm kernel for cm11 then flassh cm11 rom.

Or if u can access cwm of cm11 wipe data cache and flash cm11 rom.

Hello,

There is no recovery installed.

If you use this method, you will lose your settings and personal apps and data.
you've been warned.

Download Flashtool, and the firmware(ftf). 15.5.a.1.5, its available on XDA.
Install Flashtool, run it. On first run it will download a list of devices from GitHub. Then install drivers from Flashtool/drivers folder. select Xperia M (nicki), flash, and fastboot drivers.

Run Flashtool again, select the lightening symbol on top. select flash mode.
Select the ftf file(firmware) downloaded.
It will prepare the files then will ask you to connect the device.
Press volume down button pressed and connect the device to PC.
It will install the frimware.

I don't know what caused the bootloop. Thanks for pcc info, **** I'd never say that would cause brick :D

Anyway, I've just flashed original rom again, than cwm for cm11 and cwm11. Now it's fine.
If anyone has same problem, this can help:

Hello there,
I think i have a solution to your problem and the answer is ( just follow what i say)
1) Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool from here.
2) Then install it on your PC , later install Fastboot and Flashtool Drivers (the .exe file will be there in c:\flashtool\flashtool drivers,u need not download separately) , as u are using Sony Xperia M , Check Flashtool drivers , Fastboot Drivers and Drivers for Xperia P,S when prompted.
3) Download the .FTF file of your Phone. Google it u"ll find it in no time
4)Then open Flashtool and Connect your Phone in Flashmode Mode ( by holding Volume Down button ,check for ur phone )
5) Search for the .FTFfile u"ve downloaded , Do check Wipe cache and data checkboxes and then click Flash, plz wait for the Flashtool to detect and prepare your files for Flashing
That's it , Now your Phone will work like never before
Plz tell me if it worked or not coz it worked for me and i am sure it will work for u too. i use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004
Hit thanks if it helped
