flashing with flashtool is same as updating via PCC or SUS. Go for flashtool

Flashing with flashtool is the easiest way I feel, just keep in mind that YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD WILL BE WIPED!!

As I do if my phone is in bootloop and now the flashtool does not recognize my phone in flash mode?? The phone lights up green and all but the flashtool does not pass the message "connect your phone in flash mode", the flash never initiates, before right mind had flashed a kernel for root, but now with the bootloop this does nothing.
What I can do?

If u have the CWM Recovery (Tap Volume + in the first vibration) what u can do is go there and select:
- Shutdown your XSP
1. For flash using Flashtool ur phone have to be completely off
2. When Flashtool ask u "connect ur device" u have to press Volume - and connect ur USB. No before it ask u
3. Enjoy

Help! Unable to flash ftf

So I got updated to .101 firmware when my phone returned from repairs from the Sony centre. However, I'm unable to flash the .67 ftf in flashtool to downgrade and obtain root :/ It simply says that my phone is connected in flashmode and nothing happens after that, followed by disconnecting my device after a short while. I'm unable to flash the flashable zip in recovery due to some error to try and upgrade from the .434 firmware where I actually get root. Now I'm stuck on .101 firmware and I can't get root since I'm still using a locked bootloader

well it should work properly,i also flash the .67 ftf & root it then flash a pre-rooted ROM.
show the screenshot of the flashtool errors.

There aren't even any errors, it just says device in flashmode and nothing happens after that :/

Select the FTF you want to flash and only connect your device in flashmode when prompted. A flash has never failed for me that way.

Yes that's what I do always but ever since my phone came back from repairs, it's been like that. Flashing the .434 ftf works perfectly fine though.

[Q] Forgot to turn on usb debug before flashing,now stuck in bootloop

Okay.
So I tried to root my xperia z with 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware today.
but I forgot to turn on my usb debug before using flashtool to flash in a 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware
Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop
Btw, my phone have a locked bootloader.
I am trying to flash the firmware to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again and I will try to process the root
What should I do now?

I am trying to download the C6603 10.4.1.B.0.101 Generic HK ftf
Which should be what I have in my phone originally
Is that the one I should use?
Or I can just flash in any 10.4.1.B.0.101 ftf?

Xperia z3 D6653
Ok so I was trying to flash my z3 back to original Sony software because I was getting an error message in PC companion saying my phone cannot be updated because it contains modified software and I was flashing it using sony mobile flasher by androxyde and I forgot to enable USB debugging and unknown sources and now it's in a boot loop telling me "software update failed. Please plug your phone back in and try again"
Any ideas?
I was told to try using a different computer?

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!
Press thanks if it helped!

[Need Help] [Wrong ROM flash] Xperia Z won't turn on.

So I flashed the cm11 ROM for my sony Xperia Z aaaaand, The phone won't turn on at all. Then I realised that I flashed whole .zip package, without extracting boot.img kernel. So I flashed whole thing without kernel and now my phonewon't turn on at all (I know I am idiot). It just showing a red ledlight whereverI am conneting it to charger or PC.
Can u please help me guys? What should I do?

Well, you know the .zip package that you can download from the cm site? There is a boot.img file inside. But insted of extracting it and flash it by the flashtool on the computer, I flashed the whole package (rom + kernel which were inside one .zip file) by cwm on my phone.
[EDIT]
I am trying to repair it by updating the software via Pc companion. I'll let you know if it's worked or not where it will finish downloading update.

@Saguri please download any ROM made for xperia z..pull out the kernel (boot.IMG) connect your phone in fast boot mod(by pressing the volume up key first and then connecting the USB) blue led will light up...now flash the boot.IMG with the help of flashtools ...downland any ftf file for xperia z
..flash it via flash tool but in flash mod and u will get your phone revived back

@Vishalkris thanks, the method with flashtool worked, i downloaded stock rom for my xperia, everything is working now, i am able to use my phone again, thanks.
PROBLEM SOLVED, this thread can be deleted now. Thanks again to everyone for help.

need cwm recovery for stock .283 fw please urgent

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file
