Does your FTF contain loader.sin? If not, use a complete FTF. This one for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336874
You could also try with Sony Update Service (SUS), but this program will wipe all your data.

Awhh noo loader.sin, U de bst

Spot on !! i just checked in flashtool and i don't see loader.sin, guess that the issue is there any chance that i can import loader.sin and merge to TFT ? ignore if this sounds a dumb question ?? and can you confirm , my bootloader is locked any thing to do with that ??

I don't think there is anything to do with your locked bootloader. for ftf thing, there's some threads on subject of making your own ftf and you need to search the forum. but I recommend re-downloading a proper ftf again, it's easy if you have resonable fast internet access.
good luck.

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.

[Q] Flashtool doesn't recognize my Z

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?

The X10 .ftf file that is packed with Flashtool contains s1boot.sin, so by flashing that file he flashed the bootloader of X10, which won't work on X8.
