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.

A quick question gm007, what flashtool number are you using? I downgraded to beta4 and the TA was NOT ticked. I have noticed a number of threads about updating to latest firmware peoples TA were pre-ticked?
Cheers Rob

yeah I just read that people using beta9 were having the problem, wish I knew that before I downgraded to 4 but that's ok I'm happily running .253.
gm007,
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!

Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?
Thanks for your help
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yes try pc companion or update service.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Thanks! Only tried the OTA update since I'm not at home.
Will give the pc companion a try later.

Sorry, I'm new to all this android flashing since this is my first Android device (came from ios)
If I download a 434 FTF and flash it, will I lose all my apps and app data?
And can I flash in recovery, or can FTF files only be flashed using flashtool?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.
Awesome! Thanks for the swift replies guys. Will give it another try on updating later :thumbup:

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

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?

Man You're fast, Thanks bro
I really need help unlocking my bootloader. I know I can unlock it since it says Yes in the service menu. I've been trying both fastboot and flashtool, but none of them seem to work. It keeps saying FAILED <remote: Command did not succeed>. It seems that the key Sony sent me is not correct...but I checked it many times and I also made them resend me the key, and it is the same! Really I don't know what to do now.
I think you need to remove the last digit.
Read the instructions carefully.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
GM007 the last digit you speak about is the IMEI last digit, not the KEY last digit...Read the instructions carefully please. Sony won't even accept as correct a full 15 letters IMEI, wants just 14.Hower the result doesn't change, I have already tried in many alternative ways...

Make sure to write the exact key because the key is case sensetive
I think you write it with lower case? right?

That seems to suggest that your bootloader is not unlockable, although I could well be wrong.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in your dialler then look in Service Info -> Configuration. What does it say under 'Rooting status'?

Hi guys,
My problem is this:
Following DooMLoRD's root procedure from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
I have downloaded the kernel shown in the instructions, copied it into the firmwares folder, opened it and connected my Z
Trouble is that the flash process stops at exactly 23% each freaking time, when the log says writing data or smth.
Tried on Mac too, same result, I'm quite lost, HELP! ^_^
Pretty straight forward procedure.
Once on .244 firmware, flash. 423 kernel. Root it, and reflash .244 one.
Cheers

Sure but the issue is that flashtool is getting stuck when flashing the kernel for .423, it f*cks up and locks at 23% on both windows and mac.
I understood the procedure.
welp!
Have you tried re-download the files? Maybe it's corrupted.
Post your flashtools log and we will see what we can do, dude
