[Q] cant drop ftf onto flashtool

hi there
recently re-instaleld windows, now with flashtool installed when attempting to drop an ftf onto the flashtool window I just get a no entry icon
the flashtool window does say
error drivers need to be installed for connected device
you can find them in the drivers folder
I have run that exe in there, ticket the tx and flashtool, fastboot drivers all installed fine it seems
but no luck
also when I use pc companion to install MTP i get an error:
operation failed with 0x8007047F
the specified program is not a windows or ms-dos program
I am running win7 x64 Pro N (which is no media player.. could this be the issue..?)
any ideas?
driving me potty
I have a Xperia T
currently with
siyah kernel and
7.0.A.3.195
stock rom
CWM
any help much appreciated
basically am just trying to get timin8r's rooted JB rom on to the phone following the steps here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026918

try turning it off and connecting it into flashmode and hold the volume down maybe it will install drivers.

I have deleted your duplicate Q&A thread.
Installing Sony's PC Companion will automatically install ADB drivers.
Just download it from the Sony site and install it, then just connect your phone (while it is on) and the drivers should be installed.
Also FlashTool will also install the proper drivers.
Just remember to reboot your PC after install.
And only have 1 program using ADB open at 1 time.
Meaning that if PC Companion is running, it will interfere with flashtool working. They both connect via ADB and only ONE can be connected.
I hope it helps

just to cover the basics is USB Debugging is checked on the device?
And neither PC Companion or flashtools see the device?
Make sure there are no entries for sony in the usb section of the device manager in windows.
If you find some just right click and uninstall

iam stuck here
iwant to root z1 android 4.3 and back up the TA sector so if i want to backup TA's i must be rooted and i have to unlock bootloader then the TA will be erased ..
how to root then the v root not working cause its not detecting the xperia as adb composite device , windows is detecting it as xperia z1
and the adb composite device driver for windows 7 64bit canot be found so what the hell iam going to do ..

no one have adb drivers for xperia z1 on 64bit
USB\VID_0FCE&PID_519E
here is my device pids&vids

That's why is better have 2 PC in house, 1 32bit and another in 64bit. Still 32bit the best.

I got the message from pc siad missing adbwinapi.dll
what is that?

let me fix my problemfirst
download the missing dll and turnoff your antivirus

i did this yesterday.
downgrade to 534 via flashtool with firmware from here. you can do this without unlocking your bootloader. ta partition will be intact. data will be gone however...
then use kingoroot to root your phone (or whatever you like) and backup your ta-partition. for this you need working adb drivers...
i did the trick with this tool. i've installed the tool, the tool has installed the right adb drivers and then i've removed it. working on win 7 64 bit ultimate
after that you can use this procedure to get a rooted 4.3 firmware.
worked fine for me

really thanks for your reply ill try it today
you are really genius you saved ma day

Hi ZervZ,
First off, are you sure you have the proper usb drivers installed ?
also make sure to end any running adb connections by other software, ie: if you have bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator, make sure to close it completely and end the adb process using task manager (just to avoid any conflicts)
third, how do you boot in fastboot mode ?
it should be : completely turn off your device, connect the usb cable to the PC usb port (not the mobile yet), now press and keep holding the volume down key, while holding the volume down connect the micro usb to the device and continue holding the volume down key.
If this wasn't what you were doing, try it out and let me know what happend.

I'm surely a usb driver are properly installed. Every device but my phone work properly.
For flashtool drivers. Firstly, I've try installed only my device and flashmode+fastboot drivers = not working
then installed all driver that driver pack delivered = not working too. (both install with driver signing off, all green)
I'm not using or even installed any android emulator on my pc. only one program that I aware of conflict with flashtool is sony pc companion, which I'm not open it at all.
how I get in fastboot, same method as you provide but I used vol up, vol down for flashmode .(neither working with flashtool, even I've a blue led on, they still shown Ive connected in flashmode)
Now I'm try to uninstall a semc flash device driver and s1 service.
I think its a source of my problem, but problem is I can't. haha.
Might be need reinstall my windows
Edit: After I've restore my windows to the point before Ive install any drivers. Problem still persist, now its get worst, because pcc shown Ive connected sony device all the time .(same with flashtool.)

have you installed the drivers for ZR itself? when u installed Flashmode and fastboot drivers, u must have missed to tick the drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board which are for ZR. reinstall all 3 I mentioned above and see if it works,
Also what version of flashtool are ou using? I am using 9.13 for my ZR which is recommended by the dev for first Z series phones. u may want to consider that as well

Well, yes I installed Lagan board on my my 1st try. Its wasn't work.
Then I just installed all of them, still wont work. Or even no driver installed from driver package. (only flashtool and connect my phone) that wont work too.
Same problem, but it can connected on 1st try, if I try to flash anything they will error and stay connected in flashmode again (Until I uninstalled a driver & reboot my pc)
As I said, flashtool 0.9.18 since its a latest version, might try 0.9.13 :good:
And.. I cant repair my phone via pcc too. Since they need to get in flashmode :crying:

have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?
Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC

Flashtool 0.9.13 same problem persist, always shown connected in flashmode, even I doesnt connect my device
Might be a time to format my pc
Thank you guys :good:

read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,
May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device
check and remove everything using adb.
formatting pc is last option :good:

ZervZ, I'm glad that you've solved your issue.

Cant connect to PC and access my data

Hey guys,
long story short: I flashed my device and now my pc wont recognise the usb-connection between my phone and computer. The hardware-manager describes as if the phone cant tell the computer that it is a z3 compact.
Errormessage: Unknown USB-device (Cannot get the device description)
*something like that*
what I did to troubleshoot:
- reflash the device with firmeware: A.1.264 (without this strange script)
- reflash the device with the concept preview (without this strange script)
- installed PC Companion from Sony
- Linux cant see the phone, but can flash it
- USB-Debugging wont work as well
Nothing worked for me so far. Anyone an idea what to do?
thanks in advance

Some roms come with the usb functions disabled, removed as bloatware. So it's possible the first rom you tried didn't have the usb functions installed.
Do you have the correct drivers
Presumably flashtool can see your phone and it's still charging, so I'm sure the hardware is ok.
Did you try a repair with PC companion?
Do you have a different usb lead you can try?

Hey,
thanks for your answere. I found a "solution" to connect the phone via fastboot to the pc and with this I could do a complete reset with the PCC. When the phone is booted however I get the same error message over and over again: Cant get a device description!
Maybe you can look up the specific driver which is used in the device-manager so I can force windows to use this one?

Did you install the ADB drivers that come with flashtool? Look in the install folder for a folder called 'drivers' run the exe in there and tik the fist two and then Z3c.

Yep, all three unsigned drivers.

OK, so I'm gonna assume that you have at least a working recovery. Here's a possible solution: Have you tried flashing a stock based custom ROM (e.g: Kryptonian, MX Rom or DStrikers Z1 Kai)? Then, from there you can flash a pure stock via flashtool.

guys, this was mentioned a couple times already, best way is to download Emma from Sony and flash the official software. Then you can flash a kernel via fastboot again and all should work. This is due to Nougat is corrupting the apps log partition which is not in use there, but is required for stock Lollipop. I did that a couple times and all worked fine...

Ok, i will try the mxrom and than, but i tried that already and do i need first to lock my bootloader and then flash stock, emma didnt recognice my phone same as flashtool and one thing more, i tried to flash kernel sin from ftf via fastboot bud it says image is not boot image and says fail. I tried on win 10 same to do win recognizes phone as somc bit flashtool doesnt recognize phone.
