So I am unable to use the ota for son reason. And when pccompanion asks me to put the phone into flash mode I get a response from my computer saying unrecognized USB device.... I don't know what to do. I'm running windows 8 64bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

try redownloading the ftf again.
Can you send me the link from which you are trying to download as well please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39064968. Could this cause my phone to not be recognized? A bad .ftf download

Have you extracted the ftf file out of the zip file?
Sent from my star trek communicator
Sony Flagship device circa 2145
Yep. From what I can tell the issue is stemming from the fact win is not recognize my phone when trying to enter flash mode
Sent from my LT30at using xda premium
no, to me it looks like the ftf is the issue as it crashes at the same time it starts to flash it, but does say device connected in flash mode.
Can you try repairing/updating the phone using pccompanion and tell me what it says then.
EDIT which version of java have you got installed?
Hello,
I am trying to flash my Bell Mobile C6906 Xperia Z1 which is currently on 4.2 - 14.1.G.1.534 to C6906 14.1.G.2.257 Generic CA 1276-7484_R7A with a md5sum of 'eb6570c22572a9c0151a768b05ce9f54' which is available from the thread titled '[FTF] C6902 & C6903 & C6906 & C6943 FTF Mega Collection' in the General section using Flashtool 0.9.13.0.
I have attempted this on a Windows 8, Windows 7 and a OpenSUSE install and all have failed with the exact same error. I have installed the drivers, loaded the rom in flashboot mode, connected the Xperia Z1 and held down the volume button and had it flash green/red (I believe, I am colourblind) and it has prepared the file and attempted to flash but fails with the following error which was created on a Windows 7 Starter - 32bit machine.

I have ran this with Administrative privileges on Windows and as root under Linux, I am currently at a loss as to how to fix this. I would really like to get off the Bell branded version and have an unbranded generic that I can keep updated to the newest version. (Which is the best I can do since sadly my bootloader cannot be unlocked)
I assume that you can root your Z1 as you are still on the 534 firmware.
Root your device and then follow this great GUIDE by Apollo89 (and be sure to hit him a thanks) to change the customization number to 1276-7484 then use SUS to get the latest firmware.
So basically what I'm telling you to do is to change the customization number to the one that you tried flashing it's ftf (1276-7484_R7A) and then get it on your device using SUS.
I can't confirm that it will work but hopefully it will.
Regards,
~J2C
I downloaded Build Props and allowed it root then changed my 'ro.semc.version.cust' to '1276-7484' and ro.semc.version.cus_revision to 'R1A' (from R11A) and then rebooted, on reboot it reset it back to 1276-3533 and R11A, tried again without changing cus_revision and still it reverted back.
It is most likely some issue with /system being read/writable, however I have set it so in root explorer and have multiple applications reporting that it is r/o (chmod 777) and do not appear to be having any errors with editing the build props, but they continue to revert when rebooting.
I found this C6906 Android 4.3 ftf
And I found this .257 firmware, but you need to send SMS or something to be able to download.
And I found this. it has 3 ftf's for C6906
Hope you find a working ftf.

~J2C

Thanks, but according to this thread I can't update directly to 4.3 by using the ftf, it'll brick I don't use the 4.2 upgrade and then use PC Companion or similar to upgrade.
Well, flash the 257 from the other links...

The .257 from your links are identical to the one I was trying before, the exact same md5sum as before.

I had the Bell branded 4.2 firmware installed on my 6906 and flashed the generic 4.3 firmware and have had no issues. Not sure if that post is 100% accurate. I also wiped my phone when I upgraded just so I could make sure I wouldn't run into any compatibility issues when I moved over.
After looking at your logs, it looks like the phone is not in flashboot. The flashtool is recognizing the phone in USB debug mode. Make sure you put the phone in flashboot before connecting to flashtool.
Here is a sample of my log.

Also, when flashing, which version of the flashtool are you running? 32bit or 64bit?

I have ran 32bit on Windows 7 and 64bit on Windows 8. Both have had the same problem, and I can't figure out what the error is since it is blank. I suppose it has something to do with even a rooted system the /system partition remains not fully r/w on a locked bootloader.

Is the updated error.
maybe you are doing wrong steps?
Open flashtool > click on the flashing icon > select flashmode > navigate to where you have saved the ftf > Select the ftf you want to flash > then click on ok (or something like that, im in school right now so I cant tell) > wait till it finish preparing files > power off the phone, hold the VOL down and connect it to PC then wait till it finishes.

Thanks, I got it working! Currently using the Sony Update Service to .90 and 4.3. Now that I know that its possible to do this, I need to find a ROM that is compatible with working root.
Thanks again!

Finally :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: any .534 ftf is rootable, but you have to find one that has OTA update to .257 firmware. but it is not possible to root android 4.3 without unlocking bootloader (currently) so if you want root you should stick to 14.2.G.2.257 Android 4.2 till there is a way to root android 4.3.

Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

Switch off your Xperia ZR first
Press and hold the Volume Down button
Connect to your PC using a USB Cable while holding down the Volume Down button on your Xperia ZR
Before plugging in the USB cable on your Xperia ZR make sure that the other end of USB cable is already connected to the PC.
Your Xperia ZR should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green

That's impossible. Go to Flashtool folder. U will find the driver folder and Flashtool-drivers.exe to be run to install the required driver for ZR. Run it and tick the nessesary driver and clicked installed and u're done.

Are you on windows 8?. Windows 8 requires some special steps to install the xperia A drivers. You have to disable the driver signature enforcement first then install the drivers.
I don't know about ZR but your log says USB debugging is off .
So enable USB debugging.
And make sure you are not in mtp mode in USB connectivity

I can't do that, the phone freezes at homescreen and the it restarts
chewaz said:
Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

OK... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware. Because i flashed my phone for some times and flashtool did not said something about errors and drivers was ok.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...
Any thoughts?
Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.
Hi,
I have been given (by a friend who works for Sony) an Xperia Z1 ... but it's a demo phone (says DEMO on the box) and was wondering how I can get rid of the "Touch here for details on Xperia Z1" button at the top of the screen ... I understand how to get rid of the 'Charging video' but it's the RETAIL widget that I need to remove ... I cannot delete it under Widgets ...
My friend asked Sony about this and they said it cannot be removed as they 'flashed' it, presumably with the Retail stuff on it? ...
I've tried using Flash Tool (Androxyde Flashtool Version 0.9.16.1 built on 06-16-2014 23:00:00) to flash:
FW release : 14.1.G.2.257. Customization : GLOBAL-LTE (1277-1398)
but it halts on an error:

1. Would a re-flash of Stock Firmware kill it? or what other ways can I proceed? ... what ROM would that be? ...
2. Does it need to be unlocked (BLU) or 'Rooted' to do any Firmware flashing?
cheers,

No it does not need to be rooted to flash firmware files, also try a more recent ftf file, and please post questions in the Q&A section
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Also, have you tried long pressing on the widget and dragging it to the bin?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Sorry for posting in wrong section and thanks for moving it ...
You mean the long press and drag to bin? (like the normal way of deleting widgets?) ... no that didn't work ... well it deleted the widget it but came back again after reboot (power on/off) ...
Could you please tell me what recent version (or the proper filename) I should be looking for to reflash the firmware? ... I don't care if it's the same version, just a version that doesn't have the RETAIL widget in it ... there's a ton of FW files out there for the Z1 and that makes it frustrating to find the correct one ...
cheers,
Gem
Go for one for your model variant (C6902-C6903 etc) and then choose the one with the highest FW version.
It does not matter where it is from or if it is branded
Once you have flashed it follow my signature to root it
Still not flashing ...
Ok thanks ... found this one on Storage Cow ...

Please restart flashtool, then attach the phone turned on, then try to attach it again in flashmode and please post the output here.
Make sure you have run drivers.exe from C:\Flashtool\drivers and chosed flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers.
Also, look in the mega collection thread in the general section for a whole list of FTF files to try
Yes had ticked the 3 boxes for the drivers flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers ...
Ok ... this time (as you requested) I did not hold the Vol Down button and connect the USB cable ... I just connected it when Flash Tool started ... clicked Flash Device -> Flashmode and then selected the FW (C6903 14.4.A.0.108 - from storage cow) from the list and clicked Flash ... and I get exactly the same log as I posted above ...
Here's a kicker ... I also get that exact same log if I start to flash but without the phone connected to the PC ... so until I get Flashtool to work properly I can't try any other ROMs ...
BTW: PC Companion see's the phone fine ... and seems to work ok ... and it's not running while I'm using Flashtool ... also the phone is in Developer Mode ...

So could it be the FW (C6903_14.4.A.0.108_1276-7939_R3C Generic MY.ftf) ? because it's erroring out as it checks it ... then decides it's wrong or faulty then bombs out? ...
cheers,

Please do what I have said.
Do not select any file to flash
attach the phone with it turned on (Ensure USB debugging is on)
Then turn the phone off and attach it in flash mode
EDIT
OK, you can always try another FTF file from the mega collection thread
Ok gonna try this one from the Mega Collection ... C6903 14.1.G.1.518 Generic UK 1276-0875_R8A ...
Q:
The current FW I have in the phone is a Commercial/Journalist FW (build number 14.1.g.2.257) ... do I have to keep to Commercial/Journalist FW but then use a different version number? ... or can I use ANY of the 'UK' C6903 FW files? ...
I'll go through a few FWs and see if they kick in ...
Thanks for your help ...
cheers,
Gem
Don't use that one, flash one of the latest versions

Try the 14.4.A.0.108 or 14.4.A.0.118 They are very easy to root, the 757 is harder

Cannot find the UK versions of those in Mega thread or on Storage Cow ... but if I end up grabbing another country FW it'll be in their language won't it and not English?... what about the C6903 14.4.A.0.108 Generic Central Europe 1 1276-4318? ... lost aint the word ...
I tried flashing with the previous FW I posted before and I still cannot get that poxy FlashTool to stop and wait for the phone ... it just bombs out without me able to connect the phone ... done a re-installation ... nowt ...
I'm gonna end up lobbing this brand new phone in the bin soon ...

Make sure the phone is not connected to the pc, press the flash icon, choose the ftf file and wait until the phone prompts you.
Make sure you have no other adb (android) programs running such as blue stacks etc.
It makes no difference if you flash a ftf from another region (as I have already said) I am using the German one now...
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's exactly what I have been doing and as described in my previous posts ... I get that bit ...
I don't want to root the phone ... I don't want to do anything else apart from just flash a ROM ... any ROM (which will work on this phone) so that I can just get rid of the Sony installed Retail Widget that produces a button on the home screen that says Touch here for details on Xperia Z1 ... that's it ...
I have no other Android stuff installed on my PC ... but now I'm seeing the problem is with FlashTool not responding properly and preventing me from flashing anything ...
I have also noticed (after plenty of un-installs and re-installs) that the issue could be the SEMC driver ... the PC freezes when it starts to install SEMC driver AFTER the PC has popped up the window saying connect the USB ready for Flashmode (USB + Vol down) ... also, the PC freezes (everytime) when I try and fix it by updating the driver (in Device Manager) because it didn't install properly ... or when I try to uninstall the SEMC driver, from Device Manager ... I have to hard reset the PC everytime the SEMC driver doesn't play ball ... this is the pain in the ass I'm getting ... it's frustrating the hell out of me ...
So maybe I need to start a new thread concerning my FlashTool/SEMC issue? ...
Thanks for the info on usage of 'use any ROM' ...

I recently rooted and flashed my compact. I also have Windows 8.1, and for the life of me, I couldn't get my files to flash using Windows 8.1. As soon as I switched to a different laptop using Windows 7, I had absolutely no problems.

Well the issue with 8.1 was the digital signature which i managed to disable so drivers installed fine, but so fat am getting the error for (loader.sin), i need to know if any other solutions to overcome this issue
unfortunately i do not have any other laptop or OS like 7
But thx for your participation and valued informations

Yeah, even after I disabled digital signature, I still couldn't get Flashtool to work properly on Windows 8.1.
I was still forced to use Windows 7.
Best of luck.
I'm facing "similar" issue while flashing latest stock Lollipop firmware for India.
I've reported an issue on Flashool github repo.
More details here: https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/issues/22
Let's see.
