XPeria L stuck in bootloop after flashing Ressurrection Remix ROM

Question

Folks, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my XPeria L without problems, I then installed TWRP, made a complete backup and tried flashing the Ressurrection Remix ROM. But the phone doesn't boot up and the ROM installed the Cyanogen Recovery atop my TWRP, and now I can't find a way to restore my backup.



I tried flashing the system image again through Flashtool, but it doesn't work. Flashtool returns an error saying "Error Flashing. Aborted".



I then tried to reinstall twrp by connecting the device in fastboot mode to my PC and issuing the command:



fastboot flash recovery recovery.img



But it returns an error message saying "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).



What can I do to save my device?

Answer

I found out a way to do it. As pointed in the comments, I had to flash a new boot image, because for some reason on sony devices (not sure if on all of them) you can't flash a new recovery through fastboot.



So what I did was search for a new XPeria L boot image with twrp, which I found here:



http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/twrp-twrp-xperia-l-t2667370



I flashed it through fastboot and booted back to recovery, and then proceeded to restore the backup I made before trying to flash a custom rom. From there I flashed a new rom and now everything is working fine.
