I found out that i was not using the Beta5 version which is the one indicated for the Xperia Z and now im facing a different problem,
The phone doesn't stay in flashmode for more than some 30 seconds, then it disconnects and boots normally and i still can't flash the phone.

Yes it is, it happens for all xperia models
Ll give you the idea
1. Install flashtool beta 5
2. Install Xperia Z flashmode and fastboot drivers from drivers folder of flashtool installation directory
3. Copy the ftf to firmwares folder
4. Don't connect the phone, now flash the ftf and wait till it prepares the files for flashing (believe me this WILL take a while)
5. Now when it asks to connect after preparing, switch off the device and connect by pressing the volume down button
6. Now it starts! Solved?
Press THANKS if I helped!

Thank you for that guide
I followed your steps but the same happens, phone disconnects from flashmode to boot normally. I even tried using a Windows 7 pc but same issue.
However, if I use SUS phone remains connected and the process runs well. If i connect with flashtool (or without any programme at all) it will disconnect after some seconds,
smash_07 install pc companion and go through the steps for doing a software repair it will install the drivers, as the drivers dont always install properly from the flashtool drivers folder even though it says there installed, once the s1 boot drivers have installed cancel the software repair and then open flashtool and go through the normal steps and you should find it'll start flashing the software for you, as I had problems like you until I did what I posted, also make sure there is no other sony apps running as that can stop the flash from starting.

Confused, it is normal that it gets disconnected after some time but it is so peculiar that it disconnects so fast! Try the solution posted by the other guy and share the solution, ll figure out another way if it fails
Ps: Before starting flashtool make sure that adb isn't running. Open task manager in windows, kill adb.exe if present and then open flashtool, follow the guide I posted earlier and when the part comes that the preparation of files is complete and when you connect your device, make sure that none of sony related apps are running (sus, pcc, emma). If they do, EXIT them first (closing them will minimise them to system tray so exit them from there). This also can be done before opening flashtool.

I did all you suggested but in the end i get always the same result, phone disconnects from flashboot shortly after connecting, eccept inside Sony Update Service or PC Companion.
I unistalled all the drivers, even Sony's apps a reinstalled PC companion to install the drivers again. I used another pc with Windows 7 32bits and I get the same behavior, disconnects from flashmode in about 30 seconds.
I'm starting to think that there's someting wrong with the phone itself, which i hope not.

Where do you see the percentage when flashing?
I made a tutorial on HOW TO FLASH STOCK ROMs WITH FLASHTOOL and I don't see the percentage. It justs tells me that flashing is complete.

The issue has changed now, the percentage was because i was not using the correct flashtool version for the the Z.
The problem now is the phone disconnecting from flashmode in about 30 secs after connecting and flashtool never gets to start flashing it,
EDIT: Changed the thread title to reflect the new issue now.

Have you installed the driver using the flashtool? Not talking about the PC companion driver?

I tried both ways, with the flashtool drivers and pc companion ones.
Am confused, 30 secs is more than enough to start the flashing process, are you saying that the flashing doesn't start in 30 secs? If so, that's why I told you not to connect the phone at start and after the preparation of files is complete and when it asks you to connect, try connecting and immediately the process should begin. Even if you have connected the device before, no probs. Flashtool don't need the phone till preparation of files is complete, so you disconnect whenever befor you want, the time where it pops a popup asking you to connect the device (shows an animation) is where you should properly conmect and leave it aside. It will and it should start immediately

Got the problem!
It was the firmware package that is corrupted. I tried using the UK .434 instead and it flashed with no problems or hickups. So the drivers and the phone were working well all along and the problem was where we less expected, in the firmware package.
I got the UK .350 firmware from here so there must be an error that has to be addressed with it.
Many thanks for your help
Glad you made it, cheers!

I found that running the 32 bit version of Flashtool solves the problem as well.
me too but my phone is TX, using flashtool 0.9.19.8
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!

hey i am having same problem with sony xperia m dual c2004. During flashing in flashtool 0.9.13-22 all version tried i got same error 31 (A device attached is not functioning). Problem is my device auto disconnect after 30 second and reconnect in 3 second and this process goes in loop. On usb connect green led blink once and than no light for 30 second. My device is not functioning it has bootloop issue. Tried ftf files version 15.1.A.1.5 and 15.1.A.2.5 both give same results. Is this a hardware problem or i am doing some mistake. Please give me solution i am new here. Thanks in advance...
I am in an awkward situation.
xperia z, 4.2.2 244 rooted stock rom, bootloader locked, usb debug mode off, recovery not installed.
I accidentally corrupted build.prop and the phone bricked.
I cannot use flashtool to flash the stock rom back because usb debug mode is off.
I cannot use Sony update service Pro to force update because it said that "your phone already has the latest available software installed".
I cannot use PC Companion to repair because the software said that "Sony update engine doesn't have software available for your phone".
Please help.

You can use Flashtool to flash stock rom, doesn't matter if usb debug mode is on or off (only needed to install recovery or to root)
Download stock rom, install flashtool + drivers and follow screen instructions.. Good Luck! :good:
J have the same problem, yesterday j installed cyanogenmod, now xperia Z was on SONY logo and j can't flash original firmware on flashtool, j can only flash original kernel, but is still on sony logo
SUS says that hasn't new firmware for my phone.
What can j do ????

Just follow the flashtool instruction and re-flash the stock rom first, everything will return to unroot stated. Reroot then and try again.

First unlocked the bootloader(BLU button, got the IMEI, used the sony form (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions))
Then I downloaded the stock sony xperia z ftf image, placed it in Flashtool's firmware folder, then flashed it (flash device > flash mode).

If you still can enter custom recovery, you only need flash rom and (with) suitable kernel.
If not, you need Flashtool.
- make sure you have the newest version of flashtool and driver
- connect your phone to pc.
- when computer show error about usb not recognized, go to computer management - device manager. Find something in universal serial bus controller list that have yellow triangle and exclamation mark. right click and remove it
- disconnect your phone then reboot your pc
- install flashtool and driver, reboot pc again
- connect your phone to pc. Now, it should detect your phone.
- do flashing procedure

Errm i mean that my phone doesn't stay in flashmode long enough for me to install the drivers into the phone
Well if you have done everything right with flashtool's installation, then you're doing something wrong while flashing.
If you want to flash a new firmware into your phone you must plug-in your device in "normal" mode (not flash mode), then:
1) Execute flashtool
2) select the "flash device" icon
3) select "flashmode" option, click "OK"
4) select firmware you want to flash (make sure which options you want to be checked/unchecked)
5) click on "flash" button
This is when Flastool will ask you to
->Unplug device
->Power off
->Press Vol- button and connect while pressing (this is flash mode)
Give it a try, also read a little bit about Flashtool procedures.
Cheers

Hi ZervZ,
First off, are you sure you have the proper usb drivers installed ?
also make sure to end any running adb connections by other software, ie: if you have bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator, make sure to close it completely and end the adb process using task manager (just to avoid any conflicts)
third, how do you boot in fastboot mode ?
it should be : completely turn off your device, connect the usb cable to the PC usb port (not the mobile yet), now press and keep holding the volume down key, while holding the volume down connect the micro usb to the device and continue holding the volume down key.
If this wasn't what you were doing, try it out and let me know what happend.
I'm surely a usb driver are properly installed. Every device but my phone work properly.
For flashtool drivers. Firstly, I've try installed only my device and flashmode+fastboot drivers = not working
then installed all driver that driver pack delivered = not working too. (both install with driver signing off, all green)
I'm not using or even installed any android emulator on my pc. only one program that I aware of conflict with flashtool is sony pc companion, which I'm not open it at all.
how I get in fastboot, same method as you provide but I used vol up, vol down for flashmode .(neither working with flashtool, even I've a blue led on, they still shown Ive connected in flashmode)
Now I'm try to uninstall a semc flash device driver and s1 service.
I think its a source of my problem, but problem is I can't. haha.
Might be need reinstall my windows
Edit: After I've restore my windows to the point before Ive install any drivers. Problem still persist, now its get worst, because pcc shown Ive connected sony device all the time .(same with flashtool.)

have you installed the drivers for ZR itself? when u installed Flashmode and fastboot drivers, u must have missed to tick the drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board which are for ZR. reinstall all 3 I mentioned above and see if it works,
Also what version of flashtool are ou using? I am using 9.13 for my ZR which is recommended by the dev for first Z series phones. u may want to consider that as well

Well, yes I installed Lagan board on my my 1st try. Its wasn't work.
Then I just installed all of them, still wont work. Or even no driver installed from driver package. (only flashtool and connect my phone) that wont work too.
Same problem, but it can connected on 1st try, if I try to flash anything they will error and stay connected in flashmode again (Until I uninstalled a driver & reboot my pc)
As I said, flashtool 0.9.18 since its a latest version, might try 0.9.13 :good:
And.. I cant repair my phone via pcc too. Since they need to get in flashmode :crying:
have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?
Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC

read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,
May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device
check and remove everything using adb.
formatting pc is last option :good:

I flashed my Xperia SP with from Jellybeam to CM13 rom. I didn't create any backup, wiped clean everything including cache using twrp recovery. While the setup installed CM13 without any error but I downloaded the wrong gapps and the setup didn't accept those. So I chose to reboot the cell and since then it just stopped responding. Although it is showing the green led while plugged in via USB, it won't start in neither fastboot nor recovery mode.
I'm stuck here and have no idea what to do.
I tried installing PC companion, flashtools, SP flashtools, emma, everything. None of these detect my cell. I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit) and am at a dead end.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
I managed to flash it with errors and now it's stuck in a SONY logo bootloop. Its starts, shows SONY logo for a while and then turns off again. Again it's not getting recognised by any flash tool, sony companion etc.
Help please.

Installed the driver and flashed it with a rom but it's still stuck on the SONY logo. One more thing, It's bootloader wasn't unlocked when I messed up at the beginning. What can I do to save my phone?

Whether I try to flash it or unlock, phone boots up before the process is completed. I'm completely stumped here.
Hi! Still have the problem? I faced the same two days ago when I tried to change the on on my SP. But finally I could save the Phone by searching a bit on the net. Pls tell me if matter is still on and I try to translate the steps to english.

Yes, still stuck there. Can't flash it because phone boots mid-process and flashing aborts. Please help me out here.

Hey!
Sad to hear, but maybe (I hope) this method will help you. Basically what you will get is an original Xperia SP with 4.1 android as it came from the factory.
You will need:
1. Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" version 0.9.18.6. Don't know if newer version came or better. You can find it here in forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
2. The basic ROM "12.0.A.2.254".
The method that helped me:
SP turned off. Cable not connected.
Start Sony Mobile Flasher (Flashtool) , give administrator rights.
Top left cornet click on the bolt and choose flashmode, then in firmware selector you can find and select the downloaded ROMs and kernels. Choose the official 4.1 (12.0.A.2.254). Click falsh so it starts to proceed.
Then a windows appears called "wait for flashmode".
Now. Grab your turned off SP press volume down and connect the usb to pc. Keep holding volume down button till flashtool starts to upload the system. (Hopefully it will be fast enough, and phone will not turn on. For me it was)
After flashtool is finished you will see:
09:50:53 - INFO - Flashing finished.
09:50:53 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
09:50:53 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
09:50:54 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
Unplug and start the SP
If everything went as planned you have your phone back with stock 4.1 and 12.0.A.2.254 kernel.

Thanks a lot brother. At first it didn't work when I flashed it with the latest version of Flasher. Then I installed the exact version you mentioned (0.9.18.6) and phone didn't boot during the flashing and now it's back to normal with the default 4.1 stock.
Thanks a bunch, you're a life saver for me. :highfive:
