Download the .290 FW from here for your model and use Flashtool to flash back to .290. Few Tips: Switch off your phone and when it is off, hold volume down and connect to PC via USB, let Windows install drivers for Flashmode, open Flashtool, before that put the FTF in flashtool folder then click flash and select the right FTF, leave the Flashtool in default with Wipe Data, Appslog and Cache checked and uncheck everything else, now flash, hold volume down all the time, when the process of the flashing start on the green bar you can leave the volume down. Done.

i tried almost all metods to convert zip to ftf but cant got success...kindly help guyz so I can ROOT MY Z1....PLZZ
You don't have to "Convert" but just to rename the extensions of the file to flash it. For example if it is C6903_Unbranded.zip you have change it to C6903_Unbranded.ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalizations > Folder Options > View, then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", now you can rename it, flash it and click thanx.
done what you say

I don't know if this make difference but it should be in C:\Program Files\Flashtool\firmwares. Then if you can see yet the FTF that mean is something wrong with flashtool or the file which you downloaded. When I downloaded the file from NUT link I don't get .zip file but a normal .ftf file so I don't know yours where it come from but one guy had the same problem like yours and he just renamed the file and everything was gone fine. Try to download the file from different source. On this Video Tutorial by Shem, in descriptions there are links to download the .534 ftf by NUT, redownload again and let me know.
i downld the same

You have to flash the right FTF for you device and then it will work. Then you have C6902 model? You should said this before. Anyway how you flashed the phone, did you solved the issue?

What the hell are you doing? Who told you to flash .514? It do not exist. Download from HERE the C6902 14.1.G.2.257 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1348_R1A and flash it on your phone. Turn on your phone and check if everything is ok, switch it off and hold volume down and connect in flashmode, then Downgrade again to C6902 14.1.G.1.534 Generic TW, Root this Firmware with Bin4ry Application and when you are rooted then follow the instruction to update to .290 from HERE, then update again to .136 from HERE. Read carefully all the instructions. This method is for Locked Bootloader and if you do all correctly you will have .136 fully rooted.
thanx for help

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.
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!
What is the safest way to come back to STOCK rom on my Xperia Z? Installing update using Sony PC Companion will do it ?
Did you unlock your bootloader? If so Sony's update services wont help you. Did you make a TA backup?
Yes, I have unlocked bootloader , but unfortunately I haven't done TA backup.
As already stated, you cannot use official Sony tools to update etc with an unlocked bootloader.
The best solution is for you to use Flashtool to flash a stock FTF. My guide shows how to download and flash stock firmware: How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
If you don't want to package your own FTF, you can simply download one from the Xperia Z general section and flash it following the instructions in my guide.

You will have to relock your bootloader to update via any official method. Flashtool can do this using the "BLU" button. Do not do this if you're using a custom kernel or you will soft brick your phone. Do it after flashing stock firmware.
You should then be able to update via PC Companion and OTA.
