I was messing with xposed framework and rebooted my phone and it's stuck in bootloop. It shows the Sony logo then the loading screen and then again reboots. Please help guys. I'm not gonna get another phone
PS: Rooted Xperia Z running 4.4.4

Try activating the Xposed safe mode. There's an explanation in this post.
If that doesn't work, flash the Xposed disabler zip in recovery (if you have a custom recovery).
If neither works, flash an FTF as already stated.
Also, just for future reference: Do Not Post Questions/Help/Troubleshooting in General

What happened to my arc S?

Hello fellow xda forumers, i have a problem with my arc s. it starts like this, a few hours ago i unlocked my bootloader. Then after i unlocked it, i tried to flash a kernel to my arc using fastboot but i assumed it was failed since it took forever with *waiting for device* message . The problem is, after i did all those things, now i realised that my phone can't connect/install MTP driver when i plug in via usb and worst is, my home button is not functioning ! Could someone please help me fix this problem? i just got my arc S a few days ago, i'm so loss now

Have you checked USB debugging?
For drivers, try these.
And post in the correct section.

You can flash the kernel inside the package using fastboot and the ROM using CWM.

If you want to install CM7, which you have downloaded, you have to push kernel in your device by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" inside fastboot folder.
Then boot into CWM and install *.zip file from sdcard.

Before flashing ROMs etc better get it working before and flash stock fw with FlashTool.
Also, there's a chance to kill the device when flashing custom stuff, so better do some research before starting without (much) knowledge.

+1 to this. Can't upload cause bootloader unlocked but if i relock it I cant turn on my phone and dont know why
Did you install a recovery? I've seen that happen with TWRP installed, I suppose it needs to be updated to .253
+1 I have exactly the same issue. You can not even dismiss the notification op the OTA update. I was on 434 and rooted. Flashed via CWM the 253.
Try uninstalling or freezing the Update Centre app.
Okay Force Stop, Clear Data does not work once the Update Center restarts the notification is back. Had to freeze the application for now until fix can be found.

I also have the same problem. Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279661 and still get the OTA update notification since two days ago. I have also attempted OTA but it fails during update.
I had the same problem, froze it with Titanium Backup and that solved it

You must flash back stock kernel using Flash Tools before can locked back bootloader.
Locked bootloader don't work with any 3rd party Kernel if you had flash before, example DooMLoRD kernel or the DooMLoRD recovery which include it own kernel as well.

Flash back stock kernel of .253 ROM (from any .253 ROM FTF) via Flash Tools will prevent the un-stop mentioning of new firmware available. Remember only flash the Kernel, not the whole ROM by untick Data, Cache, Appslog, Kernel, and Fota at Flash Tools.

UPDATED! 10/15 [Announcement] Safestrap released by Hashcode

In case you missed it Hashcode released the alpha of Safestrap over here...
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.6x
...I am just sharing the news. You need to check the original thread for details and instructions. Please read carefully as there are a few caveats at this time. Like...
CURRENTLY THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
For locked users: there is a process that happens when you click "Reboot Recovery" from the APK or use the "Recovery" button during the splash screen. Safestrap checks the device for write_protect and if it's enabled will automatically reboot the device to recovery (write_protect disabled) mode. You will see this as a screen with ORANGE text reading: "PLEASE WAIT THE DEVICE IS REBOOTING TO RECOVERY". Followed by the bootloader screen again. You may also see the splashscreen for Safestrap. If you see the splashscreen hit "Recovery" again. It's supposed to automatically take you to into recovery, but it doesn't work correctly yet.

And there are other things you need to read as well. So head over there and check out the OP and enjoy.
10/15 UPDATE BELOW
Hashcode said:
NEW Safestrap in the OP Link: v3.63
ATTENTION: IF UPGRADING FROM v3.62 or EARLIER USE "REMOVE RECOVERY" IN THE APK BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION. I CHANGED THE HIJACK IN v3.63 -- DIFFERENT FILES ARE BEING CHANGED NOW.
CHANGES:
[3.63] I re-wrote the hijack to work at a MUCH better point during the boot. This cleans up most of the "jankyness" we were previously seeing with BT/Wifi and adb serial # on the stock rom. ** Note when upgrading to v3.63: Make sure to use the "Remove Recovery" in the previous version BEFORE installing the new APK. **
[3.63] The 2nd-init hijack was updated to work w/ Android 4.3 (for when that's pushed)
[3.62] Better handling for the virtual partitions
[3.62] Some bugfixes for /mnt handling
[3.62] Customizable sizes for partitions (you can use the defaults if unsure). Use the "+" or "-" buttons on the rom-slot creation screen to add / remove 100mb per click.
Enjoy

You cannot use it with encryption.

I just saw the tweet and thought I would share it. You'll have to double check the original thread. But it looks like (to me and I could be completely wrong) that as long as you haven't enabled encryption then you should be good.

It`s much easier and you don`t need a recovery:
with a small hack it will be unlocked in the developing settings!
