[Q] Trouble flashing ResRemix! - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, its 11:30 and i give up!
ok i first installed cwm using the kernel, and falshed SuperSU and than wiped data and cache and dalvik and flashed resRemix so i can reboot again and flash cwm, the problem is when i flash reRemix it goes to rom but also replaces the recovery with cyanogenmod one which doens't have any flashh zip and if i re flash the kernel with fastboot it will get stuck in sony logo reboot !
if i install both without booting to rom first it will reboot in middle of setup(first time setup name etc always at activating cellular)
this time i don't know what happened but it also freezed and rebooted on the bare-rom, but it worked before that (i assume i was tired and did something wrong)
what should i do?!

Flash other kernel with flashtools, entry in recovery wipe cache davilk cache and data/factory reset, flash the rom with recovery and the boot.img with flashtools.
Sorry for my bad english

I have linux, ia flashtool the only way?
My problem is flashing gapps, if i want to flash it i need cwm and cwm gets replaced when i flash the rom, and xda tutorial for flashing cwm (kernel.elf) makes mt device get stuck in sony logo and bootloop!

Boot.img is the kernel, you have to flashing him because the latest version of this rom is for unlocked bootloader

You can flash kernel with normal fastboot too of course! if the kernel name and formal will be boot.img just type command in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] When do I flash boot.img?

Hi.
I've got a problem. In all of the tutorials I read about how to flash ROM:s, it says that I have to flash boot.img through fastboot, then enter recovery and flash the ROM. I can not do this. When I flash the boot.img, I can not enter recovery or anything, I get stuck in a bootloop and have to restore through flashtool. When I flashed Taylor_Swift's 4.3 ROM, I flashed the ROM first and then the boot.img, it worked, I got up and running, but after that I couldn't enter recovery and therefore not obtain root access, making the ROM almost useless because the lack of the Battery Calibration app. Now I want to flash the PAC ROM, but I'm not sure how to do with the boot.img part. If it's relevant I have the lockeddualrecovery as my recovery.
Help please

No special order, really, as long as the kernel (boot.img) is fully compatible with the rom.
I'd flash PAC boot.img first though. Flash boot.img, then enter recovery and flash the zip containing the rom information.
Usually you should flash the boot.img that came inside the rom's zip and it should have a recovery,than you will have to install the rom from the recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset/wipe data inside the recovery.

Flash boot.img from Device

Like the title says, I want to flash a kernel (boot.img) on the device using a terminal. I know it's possible, but I can't find the guide for it anymore.
Hmm,
I have done it via flashtool and recovery but never heard of it being done via terminal on any xperia phone.
If you have unlocked the bootloader and have recovery installed then a lot of boot.img come with a recovery .zip that can be flashed in recovery. Can you let me know which boot.img you want to flash and if your bootloader is unlocked.

Ok then, just flash the .zip for those roms in recovery
It will install the kernel automatically

I got installed a custom Kernel, device rooted, bootloader unlocked and CWM installed.
If I try to install the Kernel "boot.img" from Flashtool or CMD, he said: "Sending 'boot.img (9,7MB)'..." and it remains blocked there, if I flash directly the ROM from CWM it says: "Installation aborted (Status 7)". Anyone can help me, please?
Which kernel are you using now?
Which exact kernel are you trying to flash now? (please provide the download link or link to the page where it is)
Why are you trying to install the kernel separately, just flash the Cm10.2 .zip in recovery and it will install the kernel in the flashing process.

Constant Boot into TWRP

I was on stock ROM and had my bootloader unlocked
I flashed the latest TWRP on my XSP
Then on booting into recovery I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache and then installed AICP with the GApps
after installing when i chose reboot it asked me whether to install superuser I clicked no and rebooted
And now even on normal booting it goes into TWRP
even if I try to connect to my laptop in fastboot mode it is booting up into TWRP
basically no matter what button i press, It is booting up into TWRP
I have installed the latest TWRP available
I even tried the hard seret but again it goes into TWRP

Flash tangerine and see if the problem is solved.
If not,
Do a full wipe again, flash ROM, then tangerine, then GApps.

Hello. This problem is really weird. May I know where did you learned to flash the TWRP recovery?
Also what is the current state of your bootloader?
In the meantime, you can try out my Stock Components as Flashable ZIPs to flash. Read the OP carefully and only choose FOTAkernel component.
Flash it through your TWRP. Shut down the phone (Main Menu > Reboot > Power off) and try to fastboot.

Yeah.. Flashed stock Rom again..
But before it i tried installing some other Rom's.. other than AICP..
it was successful for resurrection remix and stryflex..
but again when i used to flash TWRP it again used to start booting into recovery..
Might be some problem with the recovery.. Didn't try any other recovery though..

I'm not sure which TWRP you installed,
but this is an updated one and it works perfectly. It won't get deleted even if you change ROMs.
Flash the fotakernel of your device from the link provided by TechnoSparks in post#3.
Then flash TWRP.

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.
in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.
