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

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.

Okay.
So I tried to root my xperia z with 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware today.

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!

Make sure your phone is fully charged (minimum recommended value 70%). Now follow these steps below :
1) Connect your phone in MTP (Media Transfer Port) mode with your PC.
2) Open PC Companion and wait phone to be detected, after detection go to update option and click Repair My Phone/Tablet.
3) Leave the device until repair finishes.
Another method :
1) Flash 4.1.2 firmware from here Xperia SP 4.1.2
2) Flash it via Flashtool.
3) Extract the Kernel.sin from the stock FTF file (Android 4.3) you previously have downloaded.
4) Open Flashtool (By Androxyde) and then open tools->sin editior and select Kernel.sin where ever you extracted it.
5) Click extract data and wait.
6) Once you get the kernel.elf file rename it to boot.img.
7) Flash it as kernel via Flashtool.
8) Now select the stock FTF (Android 4.3) you downloaded and then before flashing look into right side you'll see an exclude option box.
9) Exclude kernel.sin and flash the FTF.
Check and see if any of the above methods work for you.
Hit thanks if I helped you.
