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 .

[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?

sir i flashed .514 of c6903..my model is c6902...would u give me suggestion that to downgrade z1 which .ftf is better..in ur suggested video he is saying that if u have to downgrade it with .514 u will not loose IMIE..kindly suggest me weather i downgrade with .290 or .514 to root my z1..i want to keep my boatloader locked bcoz i want to backup TA..so SIR PLZ HELP ME TO GET OUT

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

Make sure your phone is fully charged (minimum recommended value 70%). Now follow these steps below :
1) Connect your phone in MTP (Media Transfer Port) mode with your PC.
2) Open PC Companion and wait phone to be detected, after detection go to update option and click Repair My Phone/Tablet.
3) Leave the device until repair finishes.
Another method :
1) Flash 4.1.2 firmware from here Xperia SP 4.1.2
2) Flash it via Flashtool.
3) Extract the Kernel.sin from the stock FTF file (Android 4.3) you previously have downloaded.
4) Open Flashtool (By Androxyde) and then open tools->sin editior and select Kernel.sin where ever you extracted it.
5) Click extract data and wait.
6) Once you get the kernel.elf file rename it to boot.img.
7) Flash it as kernel via Flashtool.
8) Now select the stock FTF (Android 4.3) you downloaded and then before flashing look into right side you'll see an exclude option box.
9) Exclude kernel.sin and flash the FTF.
Check and see if any of the above methods work for you.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

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.
