Hello,
I'm pretty new to rooting Sony devices and I can't seem to install custom roms on my Xperia Z2 using fastboot. My bootloader is unlocked (i've checked several times), USB debugging is checked and it believe my drivers are properly installed (fastboot devices cmd recognizes my device) but when i try to run "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" i get this annoying FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) message. I've looked through several threads but I can find any solution that applies to my case.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
I called Sony. Their official story is they do not support unlocking their own phones.
I asked her why, she said we just dont support unlocking the bootloader on some phones.
Im going to go break this phone and never recommend or buy sony products ever again
What exactly are you trying to flash?
Fastboot doesn't flash .zip files (I think). Whatever you are trying to flash must be extracted from the .zip file, then flashed via fastboot.
If you are trying to flash a custom kernel, you must have the boot.img file extracted from the .zip file in the same folder as the adb_fastboot folder, then hold in Shift then right-click and select, 'Open command window here' then type in cmd, 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.
Once it says, 'Waiting for device', hold in the volume-up button on the phone and insert the USB cable into the phone.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to flash android lollipop. I've tried extracting the boot.img flash it and then try to boot on recovery. A few times nothing happened and I couldn't force restore even using adb. Other times I just got stuck on the splash screen or in a loop reboot.
From what I've found online you can flash with flashboot using "flashboot flash zip Rom.zip" it starts transferring the room but it immediately does to the failed remote command not allowed error.

Where did you find that this command works for Xperia devices? I don't say that it can't work, but I see it for the first time (reading XDA for several years). All ROMs which I flashed were via flashtool or recovery, never through fastboot.
The best solution is to follow installation instruction of the given ROM.

As far as I know most brands don't really support development but have you tried this the Sony Boot loader unlocking website?

As for the cmd I found it online but I think it was an HTC forum. I guess it might not work in Xperia devices. I'm able to flash with flashtool but so far I've only managed to brick the phone.

Which ROM exactly are you trying to flash and what steps have you done?

I've tried flashing the [ROM][WIP]AOSP 5.0 Beta v2.0 from krabappel and the [ROM][SIRIUS][LP][5.0.1][SM-4.9] CyanogenMod 12 Unofficial [NIGHTLY BUILDS] from infected_ (sorry i'm not allowed to post links). As for the first one the process seems a bit more complex since there is a v2 plus an OTA to install. I've tried the second one first with flashboot but it didn't really work. With flash tool i've ended up bricking the phone.
CM is usually flashed via recovery (CWM, TWRP,..) - download ZIP, put it on SD card, boot into recovery, flash from there, reboot. Flashtool or fastboot should not be required. I would advise you to continue in ROM specific topics about any special installation steps/instructions.

For some reason that rom isn't able to be installed in TWRP recover. There's some install error may due to the fact that's a beta and not completely stable. If it doesn't work i'll just wait for a more stable version.
Just curious, even if it's a zip file, if I extract the complete package to the fastboot/adb folder and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" there's no reason not to work right?

I don't think that it's worth the effort to flash those ROMs, unless you are really curious. Otherwise you should stick to verified and fully working ROMs.
It depends what you expect from that command. It will work, but it'll flash only kernel. System and other partitions remain untouched. Most probably you'll get bootloop with such combination.

I'll probably stick with the zip flashing via recovery. But what step am I missing to flash a rom thorugh fastboot?
That most probably it's not possible to flash ROM via fastboot on Xperia devices. You have to use flashtool for FTF files and recovery for custom ROMs. Fastboot is used to flash kernel only.

I have been able to flash the stock FTF but never a ROM using flashtool. Maybe that's why.

Hi people...
Everything was going so smoothly... bootloader unlock... root... some nice root apps... free paid games... and my p8 lite was just feeling so good... until... I flashed twrp with flashify under the name of boot.img... Am I stupid or what?! Now I can only get 2 scenarios... when i turn on the phone it goes directly to twrp. In twrp i get the option to go the bootloader screen... If I choose system it goes back to twrp... I can't get it to start. I downloaded the official tar.gz from emui site but I dont know how can I install it. PLEASE HELP... What should I do in this case?! I miss my baby...
Thanks in advance
You have to restore stock recovery in fastboot mode.

How do I do that?! If I wanted to wipe my phone completely and re-install the OS would be better to do it using twrp or stock recovery?
Thank you very much
Sorry, i misunderstood. If you flashed twrp as boot.img, reflash stock boot in fastboot mode.
flash stock boot.img in fastboot mode
and then flash twrp as recovery
will be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot reboot
use the boot.img from stock rom and twrp image you downloaded
Oh no!
Now I made some serious **** to my baby... guess now i'll have to send it to huawei to fix it. I made a full wipe like if it was format c: in computers... everything is gone (i didnt had any personal data) it doesnt have OS even. But when I still had twrp i tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img and now when i start it goes directly to bootloader screen but saying "please update system again" and where it used to say phone unlocked it now says (in red letters):
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
I was able to get to eRecovery with usb connected but when i choose to download e install the new version it gives me the message "wifi starting failed".
It also does not get any instuction with fastboot. but hi suite starts when I connect it. Strange?!
What do you think? Should I send it to huawei? Or is it possible for me to make it work again?
Also tried UPDATE.APP function and all give me fail message.
I'm going crazy!!!! But I love to mess around with android... To me this is the android essence. Fortunately I have a lumia for when my baby doesnt work.loooool
Thank you all
I don't understand why you don't use fastboot. Everybody told you to use it. In our phone situation, without custom kernel or rom, twrp is for experimentation and you cannot mix things.

Well, you warned me... but sometimes i do these kind of *****... So, in this situation you think it's better to send it or is there way to fix this.
By the way, when I enter huawei eRecovery and I get the option to download the firmware through wifi and it says wifi starting failed, is there any way to make this work? And to fastboot do we need to open cmd as administrator to make it work? Because if Hi suite detects the phone I should also be able to fastboot it right?
Thanks for your patience
Just use fastboot aand flash everything

hello I have p8 lite unlocked and rooted, yesterday I wanted to install the TWRP 2.8.7. but I was wrong and I installed twrp for the p8 and not p8 lite.
When I go into recovery mode my phone locks that read huawey, I tried with fastboot command to delete the wrong recovery and install the right of the p8 lite but the result does not change, my phone locks that read huawey
i think The commands that you wrote and that I have quoted are also fine for my case, it's' true?

Hi everyone!!
First of all, thanks to everybody who helped me with this situation.
I now am using my baby again as if it was new. I wiped him completely as i stated before and it was as easy as finding the right firmware (136a) and using the vol down + vol up + power button technique. I put the UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload in sdcard using other phone (with my p8 was impossible). After that rebooted the device, pressed those 3 buttons and the instalation started successfully.
I just cant explain how happy i was. I stayed 3 days without it.
After that I have been messing with fastboot so thanks to everyone who made me realize that i didnt need to do all of this, but well, A full wipe is always welcome.
Is there any custom kernel on the way for overclock my baby?
Please explain to me how do I put SOLVED in this thread as my problem is already solved...
Thanks

Yeah finally my phone is working now thanks to you I searched many treads and forums but i cant find a solution. But finally i got an easy solution Thank you again bro.. Good Luck !!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Just download your firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract boot.img,cust.img,recovery.img and system.img
After that,download mininal adb fastboot copy you files into fastboot folder , enter fastboot mode on your phone and from fastboot folder,open cmd and type these commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
After this your phone will boot normally. Once you've done this, copy update.app to your sdcard or internal and install it by local update. Once you've done all this,your phone is fine.
May I know how do you wipe your internal storage? and what if after wiping, im unable to get into recovery mode? does it mean phone is not usable anymore?
SOLUTION
Hello. I'm the bigest mess on androids but i know that flashing stock recovery can remove any TWRP/CWR. If its too powerfull flash stock boot and run fastboot -w.(fastboot -w erases all PERSONAL data)

Guys... when i tried to flash oos 3.0 on my op2 through twrp, i first wiped the data to install new rom, then install oos 3.0, it failed. I then flashed the recovery i downloaded from the thread, then restart the recovery
I cant boot into the recovery.
System can't boot
Is it called "brick"?
So i tried to flash stock recovery in pc by command, but it says "remote: device is locked. cannot flash images". any solution to this problem?
I can boot into fastboot mode
You need to run the phone in Qualcomm mode on a PC and run the recovery tool to fix you bootloader.
I did the same and it was a royal ball ache trying to find out how to fix it
Don't do what rosswaa said
Why not?
What you should do is boot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your pc. Flash this modified TWRP recovery img to your phone https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945. After that you have to flash this modified SuperSU (through the new recovery) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297946.
The normal recovery doesn't work in OOS 3.0 (just like in HOS) and it's the SuperSU that gives you the soft brick. A dirty flash of the modified SuperSU should fix it.
I also had your problem and I did what rosswaa said which shouldn't be necessary (I lost all my data and backups).
I didn't lose anything, but I tried doing what you said and my bootloader was screwed so wouldn't take a flashed recovery or anything (yes the modified one)
Wish I hadnt been so excited and just flashed but all sorted now
Hmm okay, if it doesn't work with flashing the new recovery img then do what rosswaa said and after that follow this post https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/
Obviously try what green says first, if it works then happy days
first i am really glad that someone give some advices on me. But since i am a noob, how can i flash twrp in fastboot mode? using command? "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"? thx

Hello guys,
I had my phone rooted with latest twrp. I flashed stock+ rom with Franco Kernel 25r and the A.R.I.S.E file for better sound. I've done the same set up minus the ARISE file and never had an issue.
well to my luck it kept bootlooping and I wasn't able to get back into my custom recovery. When I got home and got my hands on a pc I did a factory reset by manually flashing stock google img . I even used a couple tools since I ran out of ideas and still no luck.
I'm able to do anything through fastboot but I can't seem to get into my recovery at all.
Any ideas or tips of where I should go next?
Not a Hardbrick
As long as you can get to the bootloader mode, you haven't hard bricked your device. Hardbricking is a point where you cant boot your device and in to bootloader so there is no way to flash your device to a useable state.
Now as you can boot to the bootloader, just fastboot boot twrp.img and if you have a factory image zip, copy it in your device internal storage and flash it. Its that simple, provided you are already using an unencrypted boot.img in your current setup. Or else the next step is to flash an decrypted boot.img(you will loose all your userdata and internal storage data.). There are ways to mount the the encrypted filesystem if you are using a pin or password combo with your fingerprint. But without it its a bit more trickier so just for ease and if you dont have any inseparable data in your device now just flash a decrypted boot.img and then you can easily mount your internal storage to your pc and copy the factory image and the rest you already know..
At this point, I'd recommend a full reset.
Flash all the images in the latest Android M factory image (don't flash DP5 or similar N based ROMs): Recovery, Boot, System, Bootloader, Radio, everything.
Once you get stabilized and back into a working phone, then start rooting and messing around with kernels and what not.
To be completely honest, I've flashed nearly every ROM for the 6p, as well as my other Nexus devices, Galaxy phones, Sony phones, and no-name brands and none of those ultra modified kernels did any noticeable change. I tried the F2FS, NTFS, etc file system changes, tweaks to the governors and IO's, all of that, and found the stock kernel was the best. If a kernel with a different IO Scheduler worked even 10% better than the current implementation, and was just as stable, don't you think the Google/Android Engineers would've pushed that to live?
Currently running Pure Nexus July 23rd Update, everything stock that comes with it, Systemless Root/XPosed, and Viper4Android and have never had a performance or stability issue. I'd recommend you do the same.

First of all thank you for the response.
I've tried flashing the most current twrp and it seems to go through fine on fast boot but when I actually try to get into recovery from the device it will boot loop and just keep doing that.
How can I get into the phones storage through fastboot?
Where can I get the factory zip?
it feels as if everything seems to go good through fastboot but when I actually try to boot the phone nothing seems to work.

I've done the manual flashing already and flashed everything single item the most current factory image. Everything seemed to have gone through okay but when I rebooted the phone it was back to 0.
I'm actually considering getting rid of the phone now since it is my daily =/
Format each partition before flashing.
fastboot format <partition>
wait until it's done, then
fastboot flash <partition> <image>
Some partitions can't be formatted, which there are ways around, but try this first.
Just get to bootloader mode and try booting the twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
From the twrp ui, go to advanced wipe and format your storage.
To mount the internal storage on your PC, enable mtp from twrp screen.
If U are using a decrypted boot.img, it will easily mount ur internal storage. Or try flashing a decrypted boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then try the above again..

You need to explain more on what you actually tried here.
Just download the latest factory image and try to flash the latest bootloader using fastboot.
Then boot to the bootloader and try formating the device. Not wiping
Then you have to
fastboot boot twrp.img
I believe you have only tried wiping not formating. I faced similar issue before. But once I flashed a decrypted boot.img, it cleared the user data and then I was able to get to twrp.
Maybe your twrp img is corrupted if this didn't work.

download a factory image and run the flash all file...... it should reboot your phone after 5 minutes and the issue should be resolved.. a hard brick would be a device that does nothing.... in this case i believe that you just didnt do something right.
Then download the latest factory image and extract it
fastboot flash radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader.img
& do a fastboot update the rest archive file as it is
This will flash the rom via fastboot& U don't have to rely on TWRP or CWM

I was really really hoping this would help. I erase/formated everything before flashing anything. I then ran the flash-all file and it took a couple of minutes and it said finished on the command box and my phone restarted and went into the white google logo and rebooted again with a bootloop. I waited around 15 minutes hoping it would start but it didn't.
It honestly feels as if the phone is not processing the full commands but on the pc it seems to go through successfully
is there a way to force an install of a rom and see if maybe a dirty flash over the stock one will allow it to start up?

Just unzip the factory image and there U can see the flash shell script files too. Open them in a text editor & U could see the exact command. In a factory img, they also do the same thing via script files. Flashing the radio & bootloader & updating the rest archive
so this is what I've done
I've manually flashed every file needed for the factory image from google.
I also tried wugfresh tool kit which is great but didn't help me much. I flashed stock recovery and treid to boot into to and nothing. I flashed a customer recovery and nothing.
It always does the same thing
the screen that says my phone can't be checked for corruption and then the google sign comes up stays on for a couple seconds and then it bootloops to the can't be checked for corruption.
I try to get into recovery using fastboot commands and the phone does the same exact thing.
I was even able to lock and relock the bootloader and I was able to successfully flash everything at least that is what it showed on the computer
so ive read almost every thread that had to do with bricking and I feel like an expert now but im starting to think it is done =/

Hey there. First off make sure to unlock again your bootloader. Then you may follow post # 10 of @Heisenberg 's flashing guide for our device.
First images to flash would be bootloader and radio. First flash bootloader, then make sure to issue the command adb reboot-bootloader. Then afterwards once the phone has rebooted back to bootloader, flash radio, then again do the adb reboot-bootloader again.
Once the phone is again back to bootloader flash the rest of the images except userdata. For the boot.img and recovery.img, flash the stock ones-don't use the decrypted boot.img and don't flash the twrp.img yet. Once all necessary images have been flashed issue the reboot-booloater command one more time, then on the bootloader screen choose the reboot option. Wait anywhere from 3-10 minutes for the phone to load. Let us know how it goes for you.

Hello and thank you for helping.
I tried this method a couple of minutes ago. I flashed them this same way
fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
It does the same exact thing it will try and restart the phone, the message that says it can't be checked for corruption the google logo comes up and it repeats it self non stop.
This is what doesn't make sense to me.
This is the file that I had flashed through twrp when it was working fine

This is weird. What version of the stock factory images did you flash? I've been using leviticus 1.3 since it came out and when i was still on stock rom. I switched over to cm builds and have been flashing every nightly since the 7/24th build, and in the process repeatesly reflashing the aound mod along, and i've had zero issues with the phone booting afterwards.
Good day everyone!
My fellow housemate managed to soft-brick his device and now im trying to think of a fix.
The device used to have Android 7.0 installed (EMUI 5.0). Then he installed TWRP + some custom 6.0 based rom, which resulted in a soft brick.
What i've tried so far:
1. Tried multiple update.app packages (C432B170 and C432B130 SHOULD be the ones i need, since the device is european). Update always fails with message "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct package".
2. Extracted BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.img and CUST.img and tried flashing them with fastboot. SYSTEM.img fails with message FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure), CUST.img fails with some error connected with partitions.
3. Tried the downgrade package from Nougat to Marshmallow. Update.app still doesnt work with the same error as mentioned earlier, however, SYSTEM.img flashed via fastboot this time, but with no success, system still only boots in eRecovery and fastboot modes.
4. Tried installing multiple TWRP recoveries, none of them seem to work. Device just wont boot in recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Vlad

I had the exact same problem! And I found a fix. Boot into the dload method of updating ( make sure it will give you an error, so don't have an SD card in ) then when it fails reboot. And as soon as it starts rebooting hold volume up, then it should take you to the stock recovery, then just wipe and it should be working! All the best

Booted into Huawei eRecovery and it doesnt give me an option to wipe anything, just "download latest version and recovery" via Wi-Fi, which, unfortunately, fails.

Okay. Try again. This time go into e recovery, then reboot and the second you touch that reboot button you hold volume up. Also one question. Can u boot into fastboot and ADB recognises your device ?

Nope, can't get into recovery, at all. Just keeps rebooting.
Yes, i can get into fastboot mode and fastboot recognizes the device.

Okay that helps a huge load. What you need to do is flash the nougat ROM again. You need to put the rom files into the root of ADB install location (program files/ Minimal ADB and Fastboot) in zip format. If I'm not mistaken you have update.zip and vnsXXX_Full_data (or something similar).
Then flash the firmware using this command once your connected in fastboot. I'm not sure the command. But I did some googling and can't find a solid answer. I remember doing it but I don't remember the command line.
