i was trying to root a XZ too but it stucked at 23% when i flash the old kernel

Okay.
So I tried to root my xperia z with 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware today.
but I forgot to turn on my usb debug before using flashtool to flash in a 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware
Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop
Btw, my phone have a locked bootloader.
I am trying to flash the firmware to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again and I will try to process the root
What should I do now?
I would give any extra information if needed

How can I turn on my usb debug and third party source?
I think is that not allowing me to flash anything in....

I am trying to download the C6603 10.4.1.B.0.101 Generic HK ftf
Which should be what I have in my phone originally
Is that the one I should use?
Or I can just flash in any 10.4.1.B.0.101 ftf?

Same problem
hplease help me.. its not orking when i reflash it with 4.3 (i already had)
Xperia z3 D6653
Ok so I was trying to flash my z3 back to original Sony software because I was getting an error message in PC companion saying my phone cannot be updated because it contains modified software and I was flashing it using sony mobile flasher by androxyde and I forgot to enable USB debugging and unknown sources and now it's in a boot loop telling me "software update failed. Please plug your phone back in and try again"
Any ideas?
I was told to try using a different computer?
Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......
1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6
2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!
3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).
4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.
5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!
Press thanks if it helped!
I have flashed a stock Rom for 12.1.A.1.201 version, I cant update it to .205 via pc companion, is this expected? what can i do?
Hi! I need some help in unbricking my Xperia ZR C5502. I flashed the Meow kernal and now its keeps rebooting. I need the stock kernal in ftf format or some steps to flash stock kernal..
I am currently try to use Flashtool but it suppports only ftf format i think...I tried one russian ftf extract and due to that my sony logo is back but it is still rebooting again and again.
Flash an original ftf firmware on your device through flashtool...
Sent from my C5503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Help me, my xperia sp brick after FlashBoot and stopped suddenly
Im reflash again and stuck
Please help me
Thanks
Use flashtool version 0.9.18 and flash it with a stock ROM. Fixed it for me. The newer version of flashtool gave errors when trying to flash so best to use the older version.
