It seems my LT30p lost flashmode.
After upgrading to 7.0.A.3.195 via "Sony PC Companion 2.1" I flashed the older LT30p_4.0.4_Vodafone.ftf with the flashtool to get back root option.
All works fine.
Now I want to flash the "LT30p_7.0.A.3.195_Vodafone_DE.ftf" I created from the "Sony PC Companion" folder with flashtool.
My problem is, the phone only is able to go into fastboot mode (irrelevant pressing volume down or up).
I re-installed the flashtool-drivers without any improvements.
What have I done and how am I able to get back the flashmode mode for my phone?
Thanks in advance.

You seem to be going around the houses. If you flash that you will lose root again. The only way to root on .195 is with an unsecure kernal and unlocked bootloader.
Just upgrade again through pccompanion and then unlock bootloader and flash advanced stock kernel v4.

Thank you. I know that at first I lost root again.
I thought (and that's I understood from that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33568696&postcount=48) that it will possible to flash the ftf file instead of using the "PC Companion" software. I am not happy to lose my holo hd launcher's settings e.g.
I hoped it will work as you described here:
Part 2. Rooting
If you are on 7.0.A.1.303, follow Bin4ry's method from post 2.
If you are on 7.0.A.3.195, follow the other method in the how to root section from post 2.

OK, There is no such thing as flashboot mode. Its either flashmode or fastboot.
Try this
download and install latest flashtool.
Goto driver folder and install drivers for fastboot/flashmode/xperia tx
Then open flashtool and drag and drop the .ftf you want to flash into the open window of flashtool. Wait untill flashtool tells you to connect phone.
Turn phone off, count to 10, hold volume down button and connect usb cable

The phone never goes to flashmode since flashing the older ftf, only in fastboot mode, no matter if I hold the bottom down or up button.
That's the problem. I don#t know what happend to the phone, but there is no flashmode any more.
It might be, that there is no flashmode with that ftf?

No, flashmode should always work. Restart phone, restart computer and try again. Make sure you are pressing the very bottom of the volume down button
Try updating via pccompanion.

I did all of them more than once except using PC Companion. Thank you.
I will not use this tool, because it's not my favor to re-install the halo hd gui and moving other tools via root explorer. I'll wait for OTA, if vodafone germany will rollout 7.0.A.3.195 via ota.
If not, I'll see and look further. But I explain, this has been my first and also my very last Sony Smartphone.
thanks again.

You give up too easily.
Uninstall flashtool and all sony software from your PC and reinstall.
Also, you can make a backup of your system using recovery and flash your /data back in recovery after you have sorted the problem.
Personally, i will never get another phone other than sony.

Thanks again, I am familiar with CWM. I used many different roms with my Galaxy S1 and later with my SIII, too.
With Samsung flashing firmware / custom roms is much easier then with Sony Xperia.
I installed all the needed stuff on an other computer I have in my household and voila it works.
I flashed the rom without wipe data and it works, still without root.
After unlocking boot loader and flashing the V4 comes the shock: all my apps are gone and I have to re-install all my stuff, accounts, gui and so on. I hate that work. Okay, Titanium Backup helps, but it costs many time to get back that system I have had previously.
CWM is a great thing to flashing ROMs and kernels, too. Also great if you want to restore an full image, but to restore (user) data often Titanium Backup is the better choise. But that are only my two cents.

If you read the whole of the instructions from the SOny site about unlocking the bootloader it clearly states that all data will be lost and that you should make a backup of it.
Certain content on your phone may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys and the secure user data partition while unlocking the boot loader. We advise you to create backups, since user data, settings and accounts will be removed.

My problem is that when I connect the phone to your computer, start flashtool, boot and flash the kernel, flashtool freezes at a rate of "flashing date."
I've tried multiple cables, with another computer!
Before I had the kernel JB, then after I reset the phone with SEUS, and from here does not make me flash any kernel.
I tried to risbloccare the bootloader (only some applicanzioni s1tool find the phone), but nothing.
I tried to install the drivers for various sites, because those flashtool I did not install them, maybe here is the problem!
i'm not sure i ubderstand. but do you have pcc installed? gordon's gate? try to reboot your pc and try again. flashtool recognizes your phone, right?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
hello all.
i was using Modified rooted ROM and today i restarted my phone to CWM and made a Factory reset and Full data wipe. i wiped everything except the SD Card (because i downloaded another ROM on the SD)
BUT the Problem is that i accidentally Rebooted my phone to (systme Reboot) before i install the NEW ROM and now the phone stuck at SONY logo. i tried to connect my phone to Flash Tool but nothing happened (i see the Blue LED but i see also this message)
05/008/2014 16:08:57 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
05/008/2014 16:08:57 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
i installed all the drivers from the that folder and still the same
tried to Reboot Phone with holding Volume UP button (to access CWM again) but nothing happened
i want to Flash any ROM right now. please help me
i tried fastboot command to flash CWM again and it stuck at <waiting for Device>
please guys reply , im steaming
First error tell you everything.
You need to install drivers.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Use pccompanion to repair your phone and start again.
If you have unlocked the bootloader, then just flash a FTF using flashtool, use flashmode (Green LED) not fastboot (Blue LED)
Done
SOLVED
aaaah, drivers installation in windows 8 is suck
done with windows 7 because of the drivers is unsigned
for windows 8 users Do this before rooting or doing anything

Hi, i recently rooted my Xperia Z1 on Android 4.4.4 using Kingroot and it worked all well and was confirmed to be rooted.
After that i connected to PC Companion and restored my messages and contacts and after that it required a reboot.
Once it booted down, it will constantly boot loop.
I can access recovery mode which is Teamwin.
I can access flash mode and fastboot mode.
I tried to flash a ftf file I was told about but my flashtool wouldnt recognize it .
Please help, If you need any more info just let me know.
Thanks
Reece

How about flashtool drivers, have you install it yet? If your phone can get flashmode or fastboot mode, flashtool should detect your phone, unless you did it the wrong way.

Flashtool does detect my phone and when it gets disconnected. It is when I hit on the flash icon and go to where directory for ftf is that it will not recongize any ftf files anywhere. I have heard similar problems with same issue but havent seen a solution except maybe the ftf file i have is corrupted
Just as the title said I tried to flash stock firmware to my xperia tx but it stuck at checking header. I guess my phone was soft bricked while I tried to install a custom rom. I failed to install it but then when I reboot it, my phone couldn't boot to the recovery. Now when I try to turn it on it'll just show the sony logo and then it goes blank.
Then I tried flashtool i've already downloaded the firmware and driver. But everytime I tried to flash it, it stuck at checking header. At first I tried to wait for it because I don't know how long it takes (newbie here). But i've waited for an hour and still nothing happened... please someone help me
