i'm following steps to install monxdifieds rom and in the instructions it says
"Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times) [or use recovery turn off device option, if any]
Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband."
I don't fully understand what it means to flash sony's firmware matching current latest monxdified bas rom, could someone explain to me what this means? how would i go about flashing the sony firmware?

you need to download the "flash tools program" and download the .244 stripped firmware(link in yuga konami thread) then put the .244 firmware file in the flashtools firmware folder then flash the firmware before of after you flash the rom with flashtool
to get in recovery you either hold volume up or down(depending on if your using twrp or cwm) when the green light comes on

ok, so I wiped my phone clean before flashing the rom then flashed the stripped rom, but now my wifi isn't working. The wifi toggle is greyed out.

Custom kernel flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Hoping that your phone is new, it would be locked!
First install the drivers (XZ drivers, flash mode and fastboot drivers) from drivers folder of flashtool (For flashtool, download the beta version from Xperia Z Original Development forum page than the 0.9.10.1 version- it doesn't support Z)
Next download the firmware of your choice. Make sure it isn't corrupted!
Switch off your mobile but DON'T connect!
Paste the downloaded firmware in firmwares folder of flashtool.
Open flashtool, select flash mode and select the firmware you copied!
It says that it is preparing files, let it do (about 5-10 mins)
After that, a dialog pops up saying that to connect the device, now hold the volume down button and try connecting the device. The flashing should start!

Thxs for your answer.
I got it restored to original.
I just wont to install the cm 10.1 kernel and then the cm10.1 rom.
They say I have to extract the kernel,when I unrar the firmware do I use the boot.img?
How do I do extract the kernel on Sony?
When I connect to flashtool it doesnt give me the option to unlock,so i presume its unlocked?
How can I check?
Ive been flashing my Note for a year now,but this is somewhat different.
To go onto cm 10 or as op (4.2.2) you need to unlock your bootloader
If you want to use Cm roms First you need to know if you can unlock it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* >service info > configuration and look under bootloader unlock no means can't be unlocked, yes means you can, if you do unlock it make sure you back up your TA partition
There are tutorials on how to unlock bl and even on Sony unlock how to do it
Edit: to try, try and flash doom lords Xperia v6 kernel if it fails then you are still locked

No - not sure what rom I should flash with ODIN and not used it before. I don't have stock rom
I don't know if it helps. Whatever rom I try to flash through normal recovery mode, other than phils base rom, comes up with a zip error as it starts to load.

flash only with philz kernel after proper wipes, also you can try to install the stock kernel of the custom rom for eg CM10.1 kernel and then try. Moreover if you would like to go back to stock kernel first and then try the custom rom , you can refer to this tutorial and download link for stock rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
edit: forgot to mention, have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache when you get stuck on 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 would give any extra information if needed

Same problem
hplease help me.. its not orking when i reflash it with 4.3 (i already had)
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!

I have a doubt. There is nothing related to 'Baseband' in contents list or in exclude?

Bro all you need is a sony flashtool, sony pc companion, your z1, and some patience.
first of all make a ftf of original firmware for you device this might help second step flash the ftf which you made using flashtool (remember this ftf is the orignal copy of stock firmware).
after flash process finished just simply turn on your device and this might get back your modem's and signal and yes your imei number as how it should be.
