Boot into CWM and hit restore..?

Thank you for your kind response. I have a rooted .257 firmware with dual recovery installed. I can create a backup using both recoveries but when i try to restore a backup it fails and my phone gets stuck on the sony logo. I had to reflash about 4 times now so im wondering whether the dual recovery actually works

You posted the same thread across 3 different forum sections. This is against XDA rules and is considered generally rude in any forum.

You have to first use flashtool to flash it.
Once you've flashed it with one of the generic firmware for C6603 or C6602 depending on your model, you will be able to boot into the stock firmware for android.
You'll then have to root it using goroh's root exploit and then flash either cwm or twrp again. For cwm and twrp, if you have a locked bootloader, you have to use the locked bootloader versions instead.
After that, you can then proceed to flash the rom of your preference again but before that, i suggest doing a nandroid backup.

[Q] Flashtool doesn't recognize my Z

I know this sound like newbie and I start thinking I'm newbie right now.
Yesterday I have my Xperia Z (C6602) Region TH. flashed to DoCoMo and it was working perfectly except a little thing. It has a lot of bloatware so I managed to get root and uninstall a lot of them. Hour later OTA arrive so I install it and my phone stop the networking. 3G and Wi-Fi working really strange (I supposed to know this is Baseband problem not because I uninstall DoCoMo bloatware carelessly)
So I use Flashtool to flash DoCoMo (101.D.0.333) again and realized later that it was not my careless uninstall. It was OTA that kill my phone feature so I tried flash my region Firmware (10.1.A.1.434) to get the baseband back and flash DoCoMo fw without baseband again later.
And my problem starting from here. The phone not recognized on Flashtool (it say "Cannot identify your device") and it ask me to input what my model is (So I choose C660x) and it make my phone ready to flash once I put it to flashmode. But no, once I put it to flashmode flashtool itself couldn't recognize my phone is in the state ready to flashing so it keep saying my phone need to put in to flashmode by press Vol.down while plug the USB.
I have no idea how to fix this. I already tried uninstall-reinstall the USB driver. Try SO-02E driver (which is the same as Xperia Z) but it still not working.
And each time my phone reboot it keep asking me to choose the language and tell me to put the DoCoMo sim. Does this mean I need to put the sim first to make the phone pass the state on Unboxing?
All I need right now is to flash my region FW back first. (Or maybe find some way to make radio.zip from FTF). Should I root and put a recovery into my LOCKED bootloader and find some way to install radio?
First ask the Mod to move the thread to Q&A.
Are you using the latest flashtool beta6?

Oh just saw that I really put it in a wrong section. And yes, I'm using Beta6. It was working fine until I flash it again today (was working after OTA, but no, not working for now)

Please help! Can't root my LT30at!

So yesterday I bought a Sony xperia tl-lt30at and I can't seem to root it.. I've had an htc, nexus s 4g, and galaxy s2 and rooted all with no problem. I've tried the methods for rooting the lt30at found in the forums here with no luck, the back up and restore app seems to freeze when I try to restore the "root me" method. I also have flashed a recovery image but the pressing up or down over n over during boot up. I can return my phone but I'd rather not, I love this phone. Anyone have any suggestions?

Root works fine on my xperia tl
No there is still a problem.
It does root the phone initially but on running Titanium backup (TB) superuser keeps asking for root access continuously (even though i've checked "remember"). And after a while the root access is gone.
Don't know whats going on, can reproduce this every time.
In one instance i was able to do a complete backup of all my apps with TB and then on next TB start it said no root access.
Maybe some conflict between SU and TB?
btw, SU version is somewhat old v3.2 2012-07
LT30at
Carrier At&T
Android version 4.1.2
Build: 9.1.F.1.120
UPDATE:
Installed the other Superuser (Koushik Dutta) and all is working.
So something not right with Chainsd's superuser that came installed while rooting. Probably the old version does not work (found no way to update to new version), it always complained about providing access.
In any case, all fine now. Hope this helps someone.
lt30at at 4.1.2 rooted with Bin4ry_v36
Hi guys,
I just want to confirm that i rooted my lt30at in JB (4.1.2) with the software:
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36.zip
I chose the option 4 and follow the instructions. I had to install before the JDK and the android SDK. Additionally check the device have the developer options enabled.
Best Regards,

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo:(

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a HTC one from ebay and it was a rooted phone.
I wasn't aware about it and I did a hard reset and now I'm stuck with the HTC logo..
Any idea on how can I get the mobile to work again?
I earlier had Xperia ARC S so if such issue happened then I easily installed ftf file from flashtool..
Can I have ftf file for htc one too?
Pleas help
Load another ROM.

Hi again. Maybe I didn't explain myself properly... I know I can install recovery connecting Phone to the computer. What I wanted to know is if it's possible to install recovery from the Phone, without connecting it to the computer using an app. I allready have root. Thanks Anyway.

I'm pretty sure you can do it with flashify, you just need to be rooted, which you already are.

Do you read before posting? Flashify was already suggested 3 days ago, only 2 posts above yours. I know you're eager to help, but spamming many posts a day isn't the way to go about it. ?
It most probably won't work for our device anyway, as it doesn't have a traditional recovery arrangement with a dedicated partition like most other non Xperia devices do.
