So I used fastboot to flash twrp on my xz3. I succesfully rebooted into that but realised my OS was gone. I downloaded flashtool and firmware from xperifirm but when i try to flash it says cannot open bundle. I tried flashing custom rom but it still says "no os, are you sure you want to boot". I have a lot of problems but the main goal is to get STOCK rom/firmware back
If someone manages to guide me to get stock back, i will provide a cookie
SOLVED: used Newflasher r20

Hi. I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 (honami) and I tried to install Cyanogenmod on it by following this tutorial:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami
What I did:
1. Unlocked bootloader, had no problems with that.
2. Went to fastboot, flashed over Boot.img, after that I couldn't get to recovery (probably because I didn't install it first)
3. Tried another Boot.img for the Free Xperia project, after that my device had a flashing red light.
4. Reflashed the previous CM Boot.img back.
3. I was told to install recovery, so I installed TWRP (Still couldn't get to recovery mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rec-twrp-2-8-6-0-z1-honami-t3074845
Now I've downloaded Flashtool along with a general FTF file, my next plan was to flash the whole thing, but I'm asking if there was something I did wrong and how to fix up this mess?
Right now by going into recovery mode I get stuck at Sony logo, tried waiting 10 minutes but nothing.
EDIT: Tried to fix it by installing Emma, reinstalled stock lollipop ROM, and TA (I think that's recovery) and nothing, can't even see sony logo anymore
EDIT2: Flashed stock ROM with Flashtool, still doesn't work...
Hey there.
I'm in need of some help.
Last night, I was installing https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/orig-development/cr-5-1-carbonrom-t3529766 on my phone, going from stock 6.0.1. The steps I followed were:
First unlocked my bootloader. Phone boots up fine.
Flashed twrp and booted it. On twrp, the zip I was going to use gave me a error 7. Followed the instructions regarding that, and removed the get.prop lines.
Now it flashed without any errors.
Rebooted phone. It's stuck on bootloop (The Sony logo shows up for a split second and then starts again).
Tried relocking bootloader and flashing stock ftf, but it's still stuck on bootloop. Also tried flashing EliteKernelV3 but to no avail.
I have access to flashmode and fastboot, but can't get into recovery nor offline charging. Think messed up my partition table, and I can't figure what to do. Searched a lot on the forum, but usually the similar problems are solved by flashing stock ftf, wich is not happening to me.
Would be really grateful if some could shed some light on my case.
EDIT: I made a TA-backup prior to flashing custom ROM.

After I flashed the ROM, I did a factory restore.
Unlocked bootloader, flashed with EMMA, and it is still stuck on bootloop.
Thanks anyway.

Try flashing an older firmware like KitKat it maybe has the Z3C partition table inside of the ftf,but the MM firmware doesn't.

Indeed KK has partition table on the ftf, but it is still stuck on bootloader. I guess I'll contact Sony to see if they have a way of fixing it.
Thanks guys!
Hello Xperia ZR users,
I had dual recovery i flashed RR M and RR N rom's in a single day. the next day i restored stock rom which i have backup approximately 5.30 gb it took so much time to boot whole 60 percent charging had been gone so i flashed stryflex mm rom for sony look but again i thought to use stock rom so this time i restored stock backup rom through otg pendrive because my external storage got write permissions problem when i installed stryflex! but now also same happened device taking so much time to boot and i thought to flash rr nougat but i wiped everything through dualrecovery and i removed battery as dualrecovery not showing anything in otg pendrive now there is also no recovery available to flash anything!
Xda user Robin guided me to flash stock rom through firmtool but ended with errors in xperia firmtool log file!
So now i am having black blank screen! no recovery unlocked bootloader! i had installed adb drivers through flashtool drivers and also installed other universal adb drivers but pc is not showing my device in adb devices list in command prompt! My device is showing in Device manager as ADB interface! when i connected my phone through fastboot mode !
Please help me!
SOLUTION : If u are using custom roms and want to go back to stock rom 5.1.1 ?! and while flashing are u experiencing blank screen after a successful flash through flashtool or experiencing any errors in flashtool while flashing?! Well there are two methods to flash stock roms! Successfully!!
Method 1 : whatever the custom rom you are in! Just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom in your phone through flashtool but with other pc! Yes other pc, pc with no drivers installed regarding adb! Try out your friends laptop or pc! Don't forget to install flashtool, fastboot and your xperia model drivers through flashtool drivers exe file! which is located in c drive!! Also install adb setup file that install all drivers all over pc! And just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom through flashtool! There are 99.99999% chance that stock rom will be successfully flashed in your phone! If this doesn't work!! It's your bad luck and its definitely pc problem not your phone! Then just follow method 2 to flash the rom!
Method 2 : flash the twrp img through flashtool (use any flashtool version!) by entering into fastboot mode and select flash the kernel option and select the twrp img file in your pc (i mean u have to download the twrp 3.0.3 img and use it ! ) twrp will be successfully installed in ur phone and then flash the stock jellybean 4.1.2 version the download link is available below! it is an ftf file convert the ftf file into zip file and then flash through recovery! that's it u will be booted to stock jb firmware and it will ask to factory reset on first boot press yes option it will take few minutes and then it will be booted to jb rom!! restore drm keys if u have the backup and update the os through xperia companion!! or else flash the 5.1.1 zip through recovery!
Note: only flash the jb rom i tested flashing kitkat it doesn't worked!

Delta solution
I was also stuck with same error, I Banged my head in all forums with all rookie answers.
Why this problem occurs?
Ans: Because the user has installed Marshmallow or Nougat ROM on Lollipop. Even if you try to
come back on Lollipop stock, it won't accept the TA partition and won't go further (Although CM 10/11/12/13/14 or ASOP 10/11/12/13/14 RR-M/N WORKS without ERROR, but I assume user is hungry for STOCK 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP).
So, what's the solution, either you need backup of your TA partition OR - and if you haven't like me. Nothing to worry. You just need Stock JellyBean ROM (THIS IS IMPORTANT).
My solution will 100 percent work (Its Brahmastra ).
Step 1) download https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
Step 2) download flash tool version which is mentioned in the above link , I used 0.9.11. Version 0.9.19.8 is HELL - You will never succeed with this version)
Step3) flash... Even if you encounter error [17] no worries, if no error, still no worries (If you get error after TA partation is done...you are through, if you encounter before TA partition, it is worrisome)
Step 4) fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx69
Step 5) fastboot flash boot boot. Img (twrp or PhilZ recovery) or STEP 8)
Step 5) download customized 5.1.1 by chippa
Step 6) goto TWRP (Recovery) and install customized , NO CMW recovery
Step 7) beer for me, go to STEP 10
Step 8) use flash tool to install C5502_10.7.A.0.222_1273-5765_R1E
Step 9) It boots after 3 sec
step 10) go to step 7 (beer loop mode)
If you go to SONY service centre, those M*F* will say, your screen is damaged, because once you push power button, it vibrates and goes to blank screen.
OR
You have locked your bootloader and you simply need to unlock the bootloader in ( STEP 4 ) and you will start with normal BOOT procedure.
How to unlock the bootloader?
Ans: http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
OR
Relock bootloader (boot), then unlock bootloader (boot the device)
Cheers,
Dr. Lamda
Ok man thanks for your help! I am really surprised that someone gave me the solution! Well, i think i repaired my device! I don't know exactly what i did was correct or wrong few days before i installed a universal adb driver that repaired the driver in pc although there was an existing adb driver! And then i installed an old adb setup because i found that new adb not works sometime! And then through flashtool ver 0.9.23. something , i flashed the twrp 3.0.3 img by fastboot mode it installed successfully! And then i just flashed a rr nougat rom through recovery. I seen so many errors while wiping and flashing rom and gapps! But phone rebooted successfully! After that i see that selinux is set to enforcing rr nougat rom and i can't go to recovery mode so i same flashed twrp img through flashtool but it only rebooting to twrp i pulled off battery and booted again it was successfully booted to ROM!
Hey! Can i flash customised 5.1.1 through recovery ?! as now i am in nougat !

Yes! you can go back to 5.1.1 by the above procudure
If you want to revert back from RR - N to stock firmware then use flashtool-0.9.18.4 and first flash stock 4.4.4 firmware/ boot then flash stock 5.1.1 firmware.

so i can flash the customised 5.1.1 rom by chippa through twrp recovery, right?
moly.maji , i love u brooooooo with your help what i did was i downloaded a jelly bean 4.1.2 rom and flashed through twrp 3.0.3 recovery by converting the ftf file to zip file (thanks to my other bro xda member robin for telling the info about prf creator pc software tool that converts ftf to zip) and it was successfully booted to jellybean stock rom !
and i am saying to whoever facing to flash the stock rom after updating the device to custom roms to prevent any errors to return to stock 5.1.1 firmware while flashing through flashtool it may be driver related errors in pc or any error just use the flashtool for flashing the twrp img! only by going to fastboot mode and then select flash the kernel option through that select the twrp img that's it within seconds the twrp will be installed in your phone and through twrp recovery flash the jellybean 4.1.2 rom ! i tested flashing kitkat but failed! so flash only jellybean rom!! that's it your phone will boot to jb rom and then if u have backup of drm keys restore and update the os through xperia companion or flash the 5.1.1 rom through recovery that's it !!
my device cant be detected and refused to go into fastboot or Recovery mode
is there any way?
Well, I was poking around where I shouldn't have been and I think I flashed the wrong kernal to my phone. It's just getting a blank screen but I can get into fastboot mode to flash things. I had unlocked the bootloader before I soft bricked it but I flashed a newer version of TWRP and can't get it to open to that so either there's a TWRP issue or the bootloader isn't unlocked. When I attempted to unlock it again it did say "already rooted".
I'm on Linux and can't seem to get Flashtool working in either mode so that's not going to fix me. Is there a way to flash an entire rom via fastboot? I know I would need an ISO versus a ZIP file right?
Anyway, please help, this sucks and I'm at the end of my rope trying new things and don't want to make this any worse.
Anything, just point me in the right direction, I need this thing working ASAP.
Don't worry
There is no problem!
I had the same problem because i try to flash on a locked bootloader. But it is easy to unlock and to flash whatever you want.
But for you, you can flash the right version of recovry and then you can install a rom.
If you just want your smartphone to work, you can flash an official rom (with flashtool). (only official rom can be entirely flash with flashtool).
I hope you understand me
Maybe you can try @munjeni's xflasher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634
Please read OP carefully - its an very powerfull flasher....
OR
Just flash an Kernel (via fastboot) with integrated TWRP - I would recomend Adv Stock for your purpose.
Adv. Stock Kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3346328
or
EliteKernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427549
After that flash any ZIP you like...
let me explain everything why have i created this thread.
My phone was only charging when switched off. I was on Lineage OS (by daniel_hk) at that time so i thought it is because of that custom ROM.
I, then, intended to flash stock ROM, this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537
debloated version.
I booted into TWRP recovery (v3.1.1-2 by daniel_hk).
Wiped everything and tried flashing K3 Note S433 Debloated ROM from the link i mentioned above. I received error 7. Now i was stuck without any OS in the phone.
Then I tried to flash other version of twrp (3.1.1-0) in phone using sp flash tool but received another error- "PMT is changed for the ROM! It must be downloaded" :/
I googled and found the solution is format the flash using sp flash tool. I did it and flashed the recovery but my phone went dead completely! No responses at all.
Finally i decided to install the original S433 ROM in K3 Note using SP Flash tool but then i receved another error - "BROM: Error 4008"
Then I tried another version of SP Flash tool, v5.1628 (previously v5.1604), Received the PMT changed error then formatted again then flashed the Original ROM.
Now my phone is Unbricked but still not charging and i have no IMEI also.
Favours/Helps that i want-
1. Main thing i want my phone to charge when it is powered on. Watched this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7qtDMu_WTU but I am not able to enter Engineering Mode.
2. I want to install debloated version of this ROM through TWRP and for that i have to flash twrp now but to flash TWRP i will need to format using SP Flash tool first (becuase of error "PMT is Changed in the ROM") and if i do that my phone will be bricked again! If i somehow flashed the recovery then i'll not be able to flash the debloated version of the ROM because of the "Error 7".
3. Want my IMEI back
Any Help will be really appreciated.
And sorry if any similar thread already exists I couldn't find the best solution for me anywhere so i created my own!
dude , first thing to remember;
even if your os is completely gone and recovery option is still working , then don't ever do these stupid things.
I've been in your place . But i always knows that if your recovery is still working then there's 99.9% you can fix it.but it seems like you've ruined everything with other flash tools. Dude , unlike every phones, k3 note has it's own k3 note manager software available in xda forums. You can download twrp backups here . Lenovo stock rom backup was here, only you have to do is download and place it on the correct folder. Then press restore!!!
But you ruined everything. I don't know if it turn on again. You came here after all of this and asking us to help now? I
install a custom rom after installing the stockrom (which got error7 during install)
after u get error7 when installing the firmware,,you wont have any os for the phone to boot.
just flash someother custom rom after u got that error.. phone will boot up.
Please compare whether all files of the stockrom you downloaded are extracted,i got error 7,and when i investigated the reason was that one of the file inside the rar file was not extracted.which inturn caused error during instalation
