have you put the .FTF files under C:/FlashTool/firmwares? (path for default installation)

Huh?
When you click the "Flash" button Flashtool (0.6.7.0):
- Select "Flashmode"
- Click "OK"
The following window should look like this (screenshot of Flashtool 0.6.7.0 on Linux)
Just select the FTF from the list on the left.

delete all files in C:\Flashtool\firmwares
and then copy the .ftf file
it should be working. If it's not work try to download the last version of flashtool
click thanks if it work..

follow this tutorial ...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb9e99VT3Os ............press thanx .

I have downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918397 generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf. file but actually thats a zip file not ftf
Can you tell me how to convert that file to ftf
Extract it using Windows explorer.
Also, in flashtool when you browse for the ftf file it does not show the ftf file. Just browse to the folder where it is and click ok. You will see the voice of ftf files in the next dialogue box

Dont worry, I can see from your screenshot that flashtool has loaded the ftf file. Just attach in flashmode and it will go through the process.
If you do not know how to enter flashmode then read this which is what I suggest all new users do before they decide to start flashing and rooting

got it :good:
you need Flashtool installed and then extract the FTF via 7zip
select sin editor from tools menu of flashtool and browse the file kernel.sin from where you extracted the FTF file
then click extract data and you will see a kernel.elf file has been created in the same dir as where you extracted the FTF file
let me know how it went
i just did that and it went fine

there is no need to do that.
If you have a stock kernel.elf you can flash it using fastboot (Or flashtool in fastboot mode) on both locked and unlocked bootloaders

You are right. It is a fake thread in the wrong section. It must be deleted by administrator. We are waiting for a real flashable ROM for our TX under this title.

[Q]HOW TO convert zip to ftf file..try almost all xda methods cant success..

i tried almost all metods to convert zip to ftf but cant got success...kindly help guyz so I can ROOT MY Z1....PLZZ
You don't have to "Convert" but just to rename the extensions of the file to flash it. For example if it is C6903_Unbranded.zip you have change it to C6903_Unbranded.ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalizations > Folder Options > View, then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", now you can rename it, flash it and click thanx.
done what you say

I don't know if this make difference but it should be in C:\Program Files\Flashtool\firmwares. Then if you can see yet the FTF that mean is something wrong with flashtool or the file which you downloaded. When I downloaded the file from NUT link I don't get .zip file but a normal .ftf file so I don't know yours where it come from but one guy had the same problem like yours and he just renamed the file and everything was gone fine. Try to download the file from different source. On this Video Tutorial by Shem, in descriptions there are links to download the .534 ftf by NUT, redownload again and let me know.

You have to flash the right FTF for you device and then it will work. Then you have C6902 model? You should said this before. Anyway how you flashed the phone, did you solved the issue?

What the hell are you doing? Who told you to flash .514? It do not exist. Download from HERE the C6902 14.1.G.2.257 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1348_R1A and flash it on your phone. Turn on your phone and check if everything is ok, switch it off and hold volume down and connect in flashmode, then Downgrade again to C6902 14.1.G.1.534 Generic TW, Root this Firmware with Bin4ry Application and when you are rooted then follow the instruction to update to .290 from HERE, then update again to .136 from HERE. Read carefully all the instructions. This method is for Locked Bootloader and if you do all correctly you will have .136 fully rooted.
thanx for help

I have a doubt. There is nothing related to 'Baseband' in contents list or in exclude?

Bro all you need is a sony flashtool, sony pc companion, your z1, and some patience.
first of all make a ftf of original firmware for you device this might help second step flash the ftf which you made using flashtool (remember this ftf is the orignal copy of stock firmware).
after flash process finished just simply turn on your device and this might get back your modem's and signal and yes your imei number as how it should be.
