I unlocked the bootloader of my phone and flashed custom rom. But I decided to return to stock rom. I flashed a stock rom with flashtool, but my phone didn't boot. It stucks at black screen after Sony logo. I can flash custom roms but I can't flash stock roms. Please help, I missed my original phone. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

You have to flash stock kitkat(4.4.4) firmware first, and after that flash lollipop(5.1.1) firmware. It will boot then. When you try to just flash lollipop(5.1.1) it just won't boot.

The first stock rom that I flashed was 4.4.4, but it didn't work. Should I flash the second rom without restarting the phone?

Install 4.4.4 via flashtool - and i mean stock ftf file. make sure you wipe data and cache while flashing. After this you should boot normally. If you want, After you make sure 4.4.4 works, you could Flash 5.1.1

But it's not working, I flashed kitkat rom before but it stucks at black screen, I think I should relock the bootloader but when I want to do that device selector in flashtool is empty so I cant relock.

Well, now the phone stucks at a screen that "carrément vous" shows up. What does it mean I couldn't have found anythng.

same situation's here!

Thank you very much bro, I fixed my phone thanks to you. :)
how did you fix your situation?
in my case, i can't anything but black screen just after passing SONY logo.
i can still flash and boot up with custom roms such as xosp or resurrection, but not a single chance with roms based on original xperia one.

how did you fix your mobile ?

We had the same situation, I was able to flash the custom rom but not stock. I flashed the 4.4.4 stock rom and I tried to boot but a screen occured than I flashed the 5.0 rom and my phone booted up.

I assume that this issue is caused by wiped TA partition after bootloader unlocking.
With my best knowledge, some of customized official ftf has blank TA partition or no partitioning in its ftf.
I found this last night, and I could get my Xperia Z recognized on the Emma, and flashed with geniune service port. (it shows the right one automatically)
But the issue has remained yet. My device is being recognized only as some weird name of device under Emma (I guess it's following the information based on the IMEI number)



anyway, I guess I may give up at this moment... I can still flash and use with AOSP based ones...
