hi to all.

I have a big big problem with my Z.
I install the rom with pac and my mobile worked well, but for two days he goes out and does boot on the recovery logo ...
I try to flash another ROM based firmware sony but nothing to do always the concern of the boot logo and kernel then goes live!
So I took the bull by the horns and I will follow tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454829

but nothing I boot the sony logo and nothing .......
I think it may be a flash rom via Flashtool origin and not just the ftf and rom via cwm I should.
thank you help me please!

what rom are you trying now? Stock based?

CM10 runs on a different kernel to stock. So if you are trying a stock based rom then flash kernel (doomkernel) using adb (fastboot) then flash the zip in cwm to give you wifi drivers

then I have to try a lot of things.

I download the firmware A267 generic ftf and after I flash the boot.img last dom kernel, but the kernel does not want to flash, I log on.:

and so I'm bootloops with sony logo!

I'm sure there is a solution .

which. ftf? the stock kernel? firmware?
I already flash the kernel.ftf and firmware. ftf also (of course every two in .267!)
how via pc companion? that's update service?

Maddhouse... see why i created this guide? PAC/CM has the tendency to fight back when you try to remove it :p
thank you, I have already done this, but now it is impossible to do because my Z does only bootloop!

the bootloop only lasts one second, just the sony logo and stop!


So to be clear: when I plug my Z on the usb cable (or charger) I will bootloop 1 second on the sony logo is continuously quired.

By cons, if I'm not plugged into the charger, I just right one boot on sony (1 second) and Z logo turns off.

I really do not see how .....

I try everything:

flash via flashtool the latest firmware, flash via flashtool
-from a old firmware and after I pass update service for one last attempt was nothing but days!
flash the kernel only doomkernel via fastoboot


but none of this is 3 solution does not work .....

My guess is that your battery is empty... get a charging dock for the Z and put it on that over night...

Well, I just made a flash rom with flashtool, and still nothing, just now I have no bootloop but just a boot on logog sony.

By cons I can not at all a flash a kernel via Flashtool, every time I wrote FAILED!

can be if it was possible to flash a kernel other than via flashtool .....

EDIT : I just do a repair via SU but still the same problem ... the flash went well, but the mobile will not boot!

here is my last log after flashing the boot.img last Doomlord kernel:

@alessa, flash a stock kernel from any FTF, buy that charge dock and charge your phone.

Stop all and any attempts to revive your phone until you do, you are currently running your battery Dead and when it does it will need a visit to a Sony service center...

I charge my phone all night, morning I made a phone update center, although he flashed the rom, and still nothing ...

Now, mobile is on its dock, I start it, and .... the XPERIA logo, bootanim, but nothing .... it means that he probably is not dead yet.

well, that's it, he started!

but after 1 minutes it shuts itself.
Ok.

Now with 1 minute you will have enough time to flash a stock rom.

Use flashtool, flash the entire FTF (you will lose everything on your phone!) and then turn off your phone. Put it on the charge dock for one hour (it will turn on and show a charge logo).

After that hour you can turn your phone on for real.

ok, but I still have to flash the rom via Flashtool? because I get to boot the mobile, I can enter my pin code, the configuration of mobile launches' like first boot) and after it is cut. you think the concern may come from the battery?

Well, if you can enter the ROM, then it's best to start fresh, just to be on the safe side, as you say it still reboots or turns off.

The error message you got in flashtool is one that means only one of 2 possible things: either your bootloader was still locked (or maybe re-locked) or the flash was aborted because of the battery which was just too empty for the phone to accept the flash operation, I had to check that with @Androxyde before I could say so for sure, but the battery was most probably the reason for it to fail the flash operation if your bootloader really was unlocked.

Keep your phone turned off for an hour while on the charge dock, to charge your phone to a point you can play around with it again... and remember to have it charged to 100% full before you try to flash a ROM or kernel again, to prevent these problems from happening.
