HI there,
I am trying to flash a ROM, however, I need to use flashtools first to flash C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_GenericCE-stripped
The fact is that when I open flashtools the portion that says WIPE is blank, not showing anything. I have tried to flash it anyway, but afterwards I see in my phone that nothing really happens. I have downloaded many versions of flashtools (including the latest) but it's still the same.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or how to activate the WIPE portion in the screen.
Thanks in advance.
Bad ftf file try another one.

I assume the OP is trying to install this rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387191
Flashing that stripped FTF is part of the process. I haven't flashed that rom, so I'm not sure what the ftf contains or if a wipe is even required when flashing it.
Edit: The OP says they are trying to flash it first. The instructions in the rom thread seem to suggest it is the last step.
Is there some sort of misunderstanding of the steps required happening here?

the "stripped" version of firmware usually only includes the kernel. its for upgrading firmware to flash a rom that is a newer firmware so you need to flash a custom rom of the same firmware after flashing the stripped firmware
Thank you all. As a matter of fact I am trying to flash the YUGA ROM which I find is great. What I am going to do is flash another ROM with .244 and then I will be able to flash YUGA ROM.
Thanks again.

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.

ONLY FOR LT29i!:
Small error in filename. It says 9.1.A.1.140but it is the 9.1.B.0.411kernel (I am not going to re-upload for only this typo, it's on the updater script too but it really installs the .411 kernel)
Downloadlink: http://d-h.st/lAk
Thanks to petalex99
Please report if either the LT30A, the LT25I, and the LT29i version works. These are untested.
If you want I can make it for your devices to, but it will be untested, so will need testers.
If you want me to make one for tl, tx, or v, please post in this thread, don't spam my mailbox!
What do I need for the flashable kernel?
Kernel.elf.
You can make this with flashtool. Just extract kernel.sin from the ftf of your device, and use flashtool's build in sin editor to 'drop' the data in the sin. This will result in kernel.elf.
I would do it myself if I had my pc.
More detailed instructions are found here:

[facepalm] Sorry for the question, but what's the interest of this ? [/facepalm]
The interest is that you won't need a pc anymore to update your phone to a newer firmware.
Because you can flash a Rom.zip and afterwards my kernel.zip.
It's just for ease of use

Hi bro can u make this for xv
Great work. Mind if I post a link on the XperimenT thread?. Btw, it is not as needed to flash this as it was for the first JB update, the phone will work fine with .140 firmware and .489/.492 kernel mine ran like that for 2 days with no probs. But now that the locked bootloader cwm works with this kernel there's no need to stick to the old kernel.

Sure no problem, you could even just include it in your rom so it will automatically flash right kernel (only handy for LB ofc)
credit's WOULD be nice ofc
and i think the new kernel will probably be better for battery and maybe a little bit for performance

I won't be integrating it as I don't need it myself but will provide the link for those that do. And you know me, credits will be given to those that deserve them
Performance with this kernel is indeed better. I just needed the old kernel to get to cwm, testing mods for my new build.

Sorry for late response!
But I'm sorry I can't make a CWM or TWRP kernel, since I don't know how to compile one.
This kernel is completely stock, no changes made, just prepared it for flashing through a zip
I can however, if you post me the kernel.elf make a flashable zip containing your stock kernel, and you could use CWM for stock bootloader after that.

Thanks for the answer, but I don't know how to prepare a kernel.elf from a kernel.sin which I extracted from stock, original ROM.
So....that is..untill I will learn!
Ok,
Step one:
Download ftf.
Step two:
Use winrar to open the ftf, and extract kernel.sin
Step three:
Open flashtool, search for sin editor, this is in one of the menus on the statusbar.
Click on it and choose open file.
Select your kernel.sin and press dump data (or something equivalent)
Step four:
Upload the kernel.elf which flashtool dropped.
Step five:
I can create flashable zip of your kernel.
Maybe I didn't use the correct words everywhere, just use common sense in those cases
Good luck!

LT25i_9.1.A.1.140_kernel.zip - 6.67 MB
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?

I was messing around with the system/app folder and replaced the camera files with ported files. Now the camera app doesn't work and I didn't make a backup of those files. So please can someone provide the required files?
As you don't say which firmware version you're using, then just extract them from a rom or flash a stock FTF with Flashtool without wiping.
Next time you're modifying /system, make sure you backup.

Branded = Stock Sony firmware with carrier-specific settings and/or software
Unbranded = Stock Sony firmware without the above, also known as 'generic'
Custom = any modified or non-Sony firmware e.g. MIUI, CyanogenMod, AOSP builds.
And how do I know which one should I use?

To find out what firmware your device has on it currently, just go to Settings > About Device > Build Number. Then search on XDA or Google for the ".ftf" version, flash it with Flashtool and you're good to go.

Hi there, I need to downgrade from 4.3 (10.4.1.B.0.101) to any Europe 4.2.2 with recovery + rooted stock firmware, becouse I want to flash this firmware : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-rooted-deodexed-zipaligned-stock-0-t2759467
I have locked bootloader and no recovery and root on my 4.3, that's the main problem why I need to downgrade to 4.2 as well I have locked BL and I don't want to unlock it.
Thanks in advice.
(have searched before posting this thread, so don't suggest me to use search, 'cause I've found only useless things. I need EUROPE, not with china language and for unlocked bl..)
To downgrade, you will need to flash an FTF. You will not find an FTF that is prerooted/has a custom recovery. FTF files are unmodified stock firmware only.
You will need to flash a stock FTF with Flashtool, root and flash the dual recovery yourself (or use the unrooted install method for XZDualRecovery).
Search in the general section for a 4.2.2 FTF. There are many available. The region does not matter if you're going to immediately flash a different rom anyway.
