And I thought a lot of people here would enjoy fixing it, I guess :)

So please help me out here!

The device is much faster and the Z3 UI is nice and smooth, I'm having some problems with the "CALL UI" or something like that the exp is good anyway,

The Stereo mod is also nice, the volume is much louder now!

stuck in bootloop after aroma finished

Please help!!

My Xperia Z (C6603, .292, rooted, dual recovery) is stuck in bootloop after finished running Aroma which already said "eXistenZ already installed". There were also some "symlink broken" messages after TWRP finished..

After rebooting to Sony logo, now it is STUCK IN BLANK SCREEN... Long press power button, power + vol up buttons, or power + vol down buttons didn't help: still BLANK SCREEN

I also cannot connect to the phone from flashtool: the status is "device disconnected"

Perhaps my mistake was in recovery (TWRP) I selected (all at once) to zip eXistenZ_v3.00, DARK_theme_quickfix_v2 and LIGHT_theme_quickfix_v2 in a ZIP QUEUE..

What do I do now?? Please help!!

Fresh install from stock .292

Hello I am quite new to this process, this will be my first rom install, currently my phone is rooted, and with unlocked bootloader, it is running stock .292, would there be any additional steps or procedures I should follow in order to install this rom ?

What I mean is should I re-flash 10.5.1.A.0.283 ? or should I just install the recovery, wipe the date and flash the new rom ?

How can I get to .292 on this rom ?

I am sorry about all the questions but as I mentioned before this is my first time doing this, so I am not quite sure.

Thank you in advance.

2- Root your device and install custom recovery (use any method to do this).

3- Reboot to recovery, then wipe every thing (data, cache, dalvik cache) except system.
