Alright, so as title said, i got my little xperia Z into a bootloop, yay.
It's not my first time, first time i went to some shop and payed the guy to fix it.
Now i have some time so wanna try to fix it myself.
Here is what i did:
It was running on lollipop 5.1.1. What annoyed me is that this version had some kind of sound bug, where you had to manually switch between headphone and call mode.
So i decided to downgrade it to 4.4 Kitkat, used flashtool, everything worked fine, process finished, says unplug and restart, so i did, and boom, stuck on that sweet wave animation.
Since i don't have custom recovery(couldn't install it on lollipop) i decided to run some commands via fastboot to erase system, data and cache. System one worked well, other 2 give this error "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)", basically the same thing i got when trying to install TWRP on lollipop.
Now the problem is, flashtool won't recognize my phone in flashmode anymore so i can't reflash using that method. Got only fastboot available, any tips? I'm still a newbie, so please explain in detail
