Hello Xperia ZR users,
I had dual recovery i flashed RR M and RR N rom's in a single day. the next day i restored stock rom which i have backup approximately 5.30 gb it took so much time to boot whole 60 percent charging had been gone so i flashed stryflex mm rom for sony look but again i thought to use stock rom so this time i restored stock backup rom through otg pendrive because my external storage got write permissions problem when i installed stryflex! but now also same happened device taking so much time to boot and i thought to flash rr nougat but i wiped everything through dualrecovery and i removed battery as dualrecovery not showing anything in otg pendrive now there is also no recovery available to flash anything!
Xda user Robin guided me to flash stock rom through firmtool but ended with errors in xperia firmtool log file!
So now i am having black blank screen! no recovery unlocked bootloader! i had installed adb drivers through flashtool drivers and also installed other universal adb drivers but pc is not showing my device in adb devices list in command prompt! My device is showing in Device manager as ADB interface! when i connected my phone through fastboot mode !
Please help me!
SOLUTION : If u are using custom roms and want to go back to stock rom 5.1.1 ?! and while flashing are u experiencing blank screen after a successful flash through flashtool or experiencing any errors in flashtool while flashing?! Well there are two methods to flash stock roms! Successfully!!
Method 1 : whatever the custom rom you are in! Just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom in your phone through flashtool but with other pc! Yes other pc, pc with no drivers installed regarding adb! Try out your friends laptop or pc! Don't forget to install flashtool, fastboot and your xperia model drivers through flashtool drivers exe file! which is located in c drive!! Also install adb setup file that install all drivers all over pc! And just flash the stock 5.1.1 rom through flashtool! There are 99.99999% chance that stock rom will be successfully flashed in your phone! If this doesn't work!! It's your bad luck and its definitely pc problem not your phone! Then just follow method 2 to flash the rom!
Method 2 : flash the twrp img through flashtool (use any flashtool version!) by entering into fastboot mode and select flash the kernel option and select the twrp img file in your pc (i mean u have to download the twrp 3.0.3 img and use it ! ) twrp will be successfully installed in ur phone and then flash the stock jellybean 4.1.2 version the download link is available below! it is an ftf file convert the ftf file into zip file and then flash through recovery! that's it u will be booted to stock jb firmware and it will ask to factory reset on first boot press yes option it will take few minutes and then it will be booted to jb rom!! restore drm keys if u have the backup and update the os through xperia companion!! or else flash the 5.1.1 zip through recovery!
Note: only flash the jb rom i tested flashing kitkat it doesn't worked!

Delta solution
I was also stuck with same error, I Banged my head in all forums with all rookie answers.
Why this problem occurs?
Ans: Because the user has installed Marshmallow or Nougat ROM on Lollipop. Even if you try to
come back on Lollipop stock, it won't accept the TA partition and won't go further (Although CM 10/11/12/13/14 or ASOP 10/11/12/13/14 RR-M/N WORKS without ERROR, but I assume user is hungry for STOCK 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP).
So, what's the solution, either you need backup of your TA partition OR - and if you haven't like me. Nothing to worry. You just need Stock JellyBean ROM (THIS IS IMPORTANT).
My solution will 100 percent work (Its Brahmastra ).
Step 1) download https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
Step 2) download flash tool version which is mentioned in the above link , I used 0.9.11. Version 0.9.19.8 is HELL - You will never succeed with this version)
Step3) flash... Even if you encounter error [17] no worries, if no error, still no worries (If you get error after TA partation is done...you are through, if you encounter before TA partition, it is worrisome)
Step 4) fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx69
Step 5) fastboot flash boot boot. Img (twrp or PhilZ recovery) or STEP 8)
Step 5) download customized 5.1.1 by chippa
Step 6) goto TWRP (Recovery) and install customized , NO CMW recovery
Step 7) beer for me, go to STEP 10
Step 8) use flash tool to install C5502_10.7.A.0.222_1273-5765_R1E
Step 9) It boots after 3 sec
step 10) go to step 7 (beer loop mode)
If you go to SONY service centre, those M*F* will say, your screen is damaged, because once you push power button, it vibrates and goes to blank screen.
OR
You have locked your bootloader and you simply need to unlock the bootloader in ( STEP 4 ) and you will start with normal BOOT procedure.
How to unlock the bootloader?
Ans: http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
OR
Relock bootloader (boot), then unlock bootloader (boot the device)

Ok man thanks for your help! I am really surprised that someone gave me the solution! Well, i think i repaired my device! I don't know exactly what i did was correct or wrong few days before i installed a universal adb driver that repaired the driver in pc although there was an existing adb driver! And then i installed an old adb setup because i found that new adb not works sometime! And then through flashtool ver 0.9.23. something , i flashed the twrp 3.0.3 img by fastboot mode it installed successfully! And then i just flashed a rr nougat rom through recovery. I seen so many errors while wiping and flashing rom and gapps! But phone rebooted successfully! After that i see that selinux is set to enforcing rr nougat rom and i can't go to recovery mode so i same flashed twrp img through flashtool but it only rebooting to twrp i pulled off battery and booted again it was successfully booted to ROM!
Hey! Can i flash customised 5.1.1 through recovery ?! as now i am in nougat !

Yes! you can go back to 5.1.1 by the above procudure
If you want to revert back from RR - N to stock firmware then use flashtool-0.9.18.4 and first flash stock 4.4.4 firmware/ boot then flash stock 5.1.1 firmware.

so i can flash the customised 5.1.1 rom by chippa through twrp recovery, right?
moly.maji , i love u brooooooo with your help what i did was i downloaded a jelly bean 4.1.2 rom and flashed through twrp 3.0.3 recovery by converting the ftf file to zip file (thanks to my other bro xda member robin for telling the info about prf creator pc software tool that converts ftf to zip) and it was successfully booted to jellybean stock rom !
and i am saying to whoever facing to flash the stock rom after updating the device to custom roms to prevent any errors to return to stock 5.1.1 firmware while flashing through flashtool it may be driver related errors in pc or any error just use the flashtool for flashing the twrp img! only by going to fastboot mode and then select flash the kernel option through that select the twrp img that's it within seconds the twrp will be installed in your phone and through twrp recovery flash the jellybean 4.1.2 rom ! i tested flashing kitkat but failed! so flash only jellybean rom!! that's it your phone will boot to jb rom and then if u have backup of drm keys restore and update the os through xperia companion or flash the 5.1.1 rom through recovery that's it !!
my device cant be detected and refused to go into fastboot or Recovery mode
is there any way?
Gah I wanted to flash a new rom to my Z5, but needed to install recovery. I used Flashtool to install TWRP and now that's all that loads on my phone. The phone just boots into recovery every time.
I have a firmware E6653, 32.3.A.0.372 but flash tool says "Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old"
I have installed the latest drivers that came with Flashtool to no avail.
Using Flashtool 0.9.25.0 .
I tried Sony pc companion but it won't do anything as it complains my bootloader is unlocked.
Please help!
Uninstall any previous driver that you already have before. Make sure you get it from the official Sony site, included :
- Xperia Z5 driver
- Xperia Z5 Premium driver
- Xperia Z5 Compact driver

Hi there, I have a Sony SP with booting problem but I am able to connect it as Semc flash device and also zeus flash device. Can I use flashtools to install stock bootloader +rom +kernel?
I've been trying to do this all night and am just having no luck. I was able to downgrade to Android 4.4.4 using C6906_14.4.A.0.157_Generic_US.ftf via FlashTool, and I was able to use KingRoot to gain root and FlashTool sees this, but when I look in the system menu it tells me that the bootloader is not unlockable, as well when I attempt to run the TWRP app with root and flash the TWRP image it says FLASH FAILED. I attempt to unlock the bootloader using FlashTool only to get errors such as:
WARN - ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0025";ERR_DYNAMIC="Wrong parameters";
ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
ERROR - null
I just want to be able to flash TWRP so I can install a custom 9.0 ROM and bring a little life back to this old device. Any suggestions?
Did you solve this?
I have the same problem
