You have to unlock the bootloader using Sony's official method. The flashtool method only works on older devices.
Just google
Sony unlock bootloader to find the sony site that explains how to do it.

Hold volume up before attaching usb cable and keep it pressed whilst you connect the usb to the phone. It should already be connected to the PC.
Make sure you have installed the drivers as the Sony website says.

What exactly are you trying to do? Unlock bootloader? To get into your phone flash mode, you need to turn off your phone, then hold the Back button and plug in the USB cable at the same time!
If you previously able to connect your USB cable to your PC, you don't need golden gate driver. PM if you need further help!

Help to unbrick Xperia Z prototype phones?

So today i wanted to unlock the bootloader for my Xperia Z C6003. From the instructions they stated that i have to shut down the phone and connect it to usb while holding the vol+ button. When i did that, the phone remained black and the computer is not able to detect my phone anymore. I tried different hardware button combinations but the phone could not power on. The computer detects it as QHUSB DLOAD driver but is unsuccessful in installing it. So i downloaded Gordon's Gate flash and it is recognized as Zeus Flash Device, but S1 tools is unable to flash this phone as it is not supported as it is a prototype (IMEI 0044). So now i am stuck with a bricked phone, anyone able to help me unbrick it? ): Help is much appreciated!

Manual Software Update without root/keep warranty

Hi all. I'm a long time Samsung user, and been hanging around the forums for a reasonable amount of time but my wife recently got a Z3 compact and I'm clueless when it comes to them.
Basically I'm looking for a way to manually install a software update, as my phone SP hasn't yet released their version of the update out.
Anyone from the Samsung world - I'm essentially looking for the equivalent of DLing a rom from Samsung Firmwares and using Odin to install it.
Is this possible at all on the Z3 Compact? Any help would be great, as Telstra are terrible for updates.
Of course it´s possible only you need Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/index.php and TFT file(firmware for Z3 Compact) you can check the last release with XperiFirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 or you can check here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706

Yes, There is: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Also http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
And http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/01/flashtool-version-0-9-18-1-allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/
Cheers guys. Do I need an unlocked bootloader for this? Does that void the warranty? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Sorry for the noob questions, really have no idea how to do this stuff with Sony, just know my i9XX series Samsungs!
Grr I downloaded everything, but I can't get the device to boot into flash mode.
I've installed Sony PC Companion previously, and tried to download a fastboot driver (which is just an inf), then with the phone off, I hold down volume down and plug it in. I see SOMC Flash Device, but the second that I let go of vol down the device reboots into normal mode and I never get the green LED.
The fastboot driver I have is this: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
But when I download that, if I try to update either SOMC Flash Device OR Xperia Z3 Compact drivers with it, but say that the folder has no compatible software driver for my hardware...Any ideas? I can' t believe I'm having so many issues just getting this thing into download/flash mode!
EDIT: Just realised that I was trying to install the fastboot driver, instead of flashmode.
So what do I do to get the phone to stay in Flashmode?
EDIT2: So I've found the driver install in the flashtool director, and ran that, installed the drivers, but still I can't get a green LED...
I can get it into fastboot mode (and the blue LED stays on, PLUS Flashtool detects the phone. Can I flash from fastboot mode?

You don't need to unlock the BL, you only do that when you want to use a different kernel. If you're planning on using a different kernel, please back up your TA partition first (after you're rooted) after that you can unlock the BL.
Backing up your TA-partition makes sure you don't lose your DRM keys. (Losing your DRM keys will void warranty)
No idea about the fastboot driver, I think Flashtool also gives you the option to install the drivers, so I'd say install it through Flashtool.
This is driving me batty!
I can get the phone into fastboot mode, but to flash in fastboot mode, I'd have to flash the .sin files one at a time - which I don't want to do! But I jsut can't get fastboot to recognise the device in flashmode to flast the ftf file whole!!
Are you using Flashtool to install a new FW or something else?
Yeah, to install a new firmware...I ended up doing it in a very unorthodox way...
I noticed when I plugged the phone up holding vol down flashtool would detect the phone to start with, before it either turned off or restarted itself. So I tried to flash the ftf, and said I need to attach the phone in flash mode, so I tried unplugging it, and holding down and plugging it back in, and it started flashing. I had to hold down volume down for the duration of the flash though, as I was scared it was drop out of flash mode mid way through

Enable USB debugging. To do this, spam the build number, after dev options are on, go to them from settings and find USB debugging.

[SOLVED] Z3 Compact Bricked after flashing a wrong firmware

Hi guys, I'm currently having problems with my z3c. All happened by accidentally flashing the wrong firmware. After all the wrong flashing now my phone won't turn on nor it will go to "flashmode" using the sidekey method. Only way to get in the phone is by doing "Fastboot" method! Is there anyway i can fix this brick by flashing a stock firmware using fastboot method?
Thanks!
Have you tried holding power, volume up and volume down all together then release all except volume down and connect to the PC (that is ready to flash with flashmode)? Which rom did you try to flash? Normaly you should also be able to enter flashmode.
How do you try to enter flashmode?:
"Power off the Xperia phone and then press and hold Volume Down button while creating the connection between the phone and the computer."
fastboot is only ment for AOSP roms like cyanogenmod other sonys opensource stuff which all require a unlocked bootloader.

Yeah man, i tried everything. Up down and power. I flashed the incorrect firmware for my Z3C, then after the reboot it didn't turn on. it's weird i can't even get into flashmode using the down key and power. Whenever i try the power button it gives 3 vibrates then doesn't turn on at all. Is it fully hard bricked or will i be able to fix this?
Wait, I solved the flashmode. I can access the flashmode now. But theres a problem, I can't flash a firmware using flashtools because my USB-debugging is off and i cannot access my phone to turn it on. Is there anyway i can flash a firmware without usb-debugging? I got all the working adb drivers & etc.... just my debugging is off
Have you tried downgrading/flashing to stock fw 23. 0.A.293 (Device D5803) and then you can root from there.

I can't flash anything, because of USB Debugging off, Flashtool will only allow you to flash if your Debugging is on, and i can't turn on my usb debugging as my phone is bricked.
I need help to find a way to flash the stock firmware!

OK my bad....its just, this tut doesnt say anything about needing usb debugging active on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 and when I got my Z3C I had to downgrade in order to root and definitely didnt active usb debugging for that.

Those are the steps i'm exactly doing, but it gives me an error saying "You must turn on USB Debugging" etc...
What version of flashtools did you use if it didn't ask you for debugging?

Cant remember if I have upgraded but my present verison is 0.9.18.5 dated 2015-02-14 which is around the time I got my phone....but can see in the tut they are using 0.9.10.2 if that helps.
And if you look at #5 in tut it says: INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
0.9.10.2beta6 I've installed that version, i hope it works but doubt it.
EDIT: omg dude this version is actually working, It's flashing without usb debugging Thanks

I'm having similar problems.
I'm trying to flash 23.4.A.0.546 lollipop but with latest flashboot version needs debugging on so I've downloaded and installed 0.9.10.2beta6 but when I try to flash the rom it says "please connect device in flashmode", If I disconnect the phone and then connect it again it will say "device disconnected" and then "device connected in flashmode" but nothing happens... Did you do anything in particular to bypass debugging mode needed problem?

It is possible your device is powered on but the screen is not working (I remember this from the Z1 root procees that required flashing a wrong firmware).
Try to force power down your phone first (press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds) without the usb cable and reenter flashmode by holding volume down while inserting the usb cable.

Did you install the drivers from flashtool ? For windows 8-10 you have to boot with disable driver verification or something similar. You can find a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rs-windows-t2638680/post50100353#post50100353

Are you sure that your battery is charged?
Try this: press and hold power and volume up button for 10 seconds and see does the phone vibrate.If vibrate flash again via flashtool.,he should works.

Battery was fully charged and I've tried that but phone does not response at all to flashtool. When plug in to PC, in device manager under USB controllers, it sees it as SOMC Flash Drive. I think the phone boot is dead.

Thanks for your help...The phone was flashed successfully with flash tool with flash file E6553_28.0.A.4.8. After flash done, phone was dead, cannot power on anymore. Now when I tried to flash it again, volume down, insert USB the flashtool show as: Device detected with USB debugging off. It doesn't go to flash mode anymore. I took the back cover off, remove battery connector flex cable and connect it back and try flashing many times but flashtool will not detect phone in flash mode..PC can detect phone because it makes connecting sound on PC but detects as what mode I don't know. In device manager, it doesn't show any device in com port but it shows SOMC Flash Device in USB controllers. I tried to press volume up + power but nothing happened. Once again thanks for your help.

As I understood, you tried to downgrade. Am I right? I heard that sometimes downgrading causes hard brick. I don't know how to fix it but only option is bringing service.
