[Q] Flashtool doesn't recognize my Z - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this sound like newbie and I start thinking I'm newbie right now.
Yesterday I have my Xperia Z (C6602) Region TH. flashed to DoCoMo and it was working perfectly except a little thing. It has a lot of bloatware so I managed to get root and uninstall a lot of them. Hour later OTA arrive so I install it and my phone stop the networking. 3G and Wi-Fi working really strange (I supposed to know this is Baseband problem not because I uninstall DoCoMo bloatware carelessly)
So I use Flashtool to flash DoCoMo (101.D.0.333) again and realized later that it was not my careless uninstall. It was OTA that kill my phone feature so I tried flash my region Firmware (10.1.A.1.434) to get the baseband back and flash DoCoMo fw without baseband again later.
And my problem starting from here. The phone not recognized on Flashtool (it say "Cannot identify your device") and it ask me to input what my model is (So I choose C660x) and it make my phone ready to flash once I put it to flashmode. But no, once I put it to flashmode flashtool itself couldn't recognize my phone is in the state ready to flashing so it keep saying my phone need to put in to flashmode by press Vol.down while plug the USB.
I have no idea how to fix this. I already tried uninstall-reinstall the USB driver. Try SO-02E driver (which is the same as Xperia Z) but it still not working.
And each time my phone reboot it keep asking me to choose the language and tell me to put the DoCoMo sim. Does this mean I need to put the sim first to make the phone pass the state on Unboxing?
All I need right now is to flash my region FW back first. (Or maybe find some way to make radio.zip from FTF). Should I root and put a recovery into my LOCKED bootloader and find some way to install radio?

First ask the Mod to move the thread to Q&A.
Are you using the latest flashtool beta6?

Oh just saw that I really put it in a wrong section. And yes, I'm using Beta6. It was working fine until I flash it again today (was working after OTA, but no, not working for now)

You have to first use flashtool to flash it.
Once you've flashed it with one of the generic firmware for C6603 or C6602 depending on your model, you will be able to boot into the stock firmware for android.
You'll then have to root it using goroh's root exploit and then flash either cwm or twrp again. For cwm and twrp, if you have a locked bootloader, you have to use the locked bootloader versions instead.
After that, you can then proceed to flash the rom of your preference again but before that, i suggest doing a nandroid backup.

When i select the FTF provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279661&highlight=ftf+original the "original FTF" after preparing the files in flashtool. it ask me to connet my device in flashmode. when i connect my device in flash mode it says "Connected device in Flashmode" after that nothing happens. im stuck at "Connected device in Flashmode"
Sorry for my Bad English
yes, my device can be detected. i try repairing using PC companion but no luck. i think because of the C6602 thing. i try the SEUS but it only say that im on the latest firmware. i can't repair it.

You're a life saver. For the best few days I've been unable to flash anything - just wouldn't work. Tried multiple machines, multiple versions of flashtool. Nothing. I thought my phone must've had issues but just tried what you said and BOOM it worked. I can't thank you enough!

Remove the charging cable and try to turn it on again.
Use the stock charger that came with the phone.

Without the sim card the phone boot?
Did you tried the hard shutdown(volume up + power for 15 seconds till you feel 3 vibrations)?
Did you tried to flash another firmware with flashtool?
Did you tried sony update service?

I've had exactly the same problem, i've fully flashed first with Sony Update Service and i've re-downloaded the latest flashtool version and that's worked,
Also be sure that you have your smartphone correctly installed.
Have you tried?

Does flashing firmwares void warranty? Also does it have any effect on lets say the emic or flash storage on the phone? And lastly, isn't that 14.1.G.534 a prototype/journalist firmware?

You wont lose warranty by flashing firmwares,and no it wont affect the storage soon.

But I believe its Up volume not down volume,
You could also use flashtool to reflash an older android version for your model/region that can be rooted then OTA to more recent version to try and retain root
