do you have drivers installed for your phone ?
and do you download the correct ftf for your phone & connect your phone to flashing mode by holding volume down button while connecting to USB cable

These drivers are for unlocked bootloaders have you unlocked your xt or tried to install a custom kernel. just a thought as there is as thread on the forum regarding a device thinking it is anther device and will not accept installation any stock ftf..

if you mean flashing it through fastboot, i did it and says you must have a rooted device and fails. usually custom kernels are in .zip , but to flash a kernel it must have a .elf or .sin or .img format..how can i flash them?

If you get that error with flashool than I'm not sure that bootloader is properly unlocked. DoomKernel is a flashable zip, bit inside the zip you have kernel.elf.

so if it says me your device must be rooted, the bootloader isnt unlocked? how can i check that it is really unlocked? because i unlocked it with flashtool while it was bricked, but flashtool said me it was successfully unlocked

Before i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone without problem, when the update 4.3 was arriving i decided to relock the bootloader and flash a jelly bean firmware for update it by pc companion. Now i decided to unlock again to install omnirom, i flashed 4.1.2 firmware and then i tried to unlock bootlader but when the process is finished and i turned on the phone it doesn't boot, the animation is blocked and the phone will restart. So i flashed again 4.1.2 firmware, it turned on and in the service info --> configuration the phone said that the bootlader is unlocked, at this point i tried to root but i received lines of "impossible" on the terminal, i was be able to do all this one month ago but now i can't understand where is the problem. Someone have any idea??
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english

You have to check on flashtool to wipe everything for a factory reset. In your case I would flash a stock rom, unlock the bootloader via flashtool and then install a custom rom

How do you try to root? Do you want to install a custom rom? If you want to install a custom rom do the following:
1. flash the kernel from the custom rom
2. boot into that kernel and flash the custom rom zip file
3. wipe cache and dalvik
4. flash supersu zip file
If you want to stay stock but with root and are on 4.3:
1. flash the kernel of a custom rom
2. boot into that kernel and flash supersu zip file
3.reflash the stock kernel (excule everything else)

Yes i want to install a custom rom, i tried to root the phone using doomlord easy rooting toolkit to intall later the cwm, i know that if i do like you say i can install custom rom more fast, in less passages, but before i did this passages for root the phone and it worked but now after i unlock bootloader the phone doesn't start and i must flash again a stock rom with flashtool to make it work again, i know that then if i see in the phone i have the same the bootloader unlock but this isn't normal and after this new problem also the root doesnt' work
I hope that you can understand what i mean also if my english is bad
Yes maybe i can stay on 4.3 stock rom but to flash a custom kernel i must unlock the bootloader and we arrive at the same point of before, i'm not sure that the unlock works well

Because you do not do it that way on xperia phones.
Look for dual recovery in the OEM cross development thread for xperia devices and install that
Or flash a kernel with recovery like the dualrecovery one or DooMKerneL

You have not unlocked your bootloader yet
Please goto http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and do that first
Alternatively,
Use flashtool (flashtool.net) to flash a FTF file (FTF mega collection thread) that ends in .534 (You will probably lose IMEi but don't worry)
Then install dual recovery using the installer, not the kernel (XZDR dual recovery thread, OEM cross device development for xperias) then flash SuperSU (From chainfire) then flash a prerooted rom of your choice (Development or original development sections)

Did you backup your TA partition? If so restore that and try to unlock again.
Otherwise, force a repair of your phones software via PCCompanion and then try again.

Did you use FlashTool to relock your device?
So I got my Z1 yesterday, was on 4.4.2 stock unrooted. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's official website and fastboot, then I went on destroying the phone by flashing Philz touch recovery.img through fastboot.
And since then the phone has been bricked, I can only enter Fastboot through the blue led, while Flash mode doesn't show up any LED light and my PC sees the phone when on flashmode as n "S1 device with a parameter error".
I've tried all drivers, none worked, and the flashtool keeps suggesting I should update my drivers when connecting the phone on flash mode:
02/042/2014 22:42:11 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

Is there any way I can recover from this through fastboot instead of the flashtool? I can still flash system.img and recovery.img through fastboot. I'd really appreciate any help right now.

Xperia phones do not have a recovery partition to flash recovery to via fastboot.
If you can enter fastboot, then flash a stock kernel.elf with flashtool (In fastboot mode).
Then you can use flashtool to relock your boot (I imagine you have not even taken a TA backup and you are new to xperia devices, your post suggests so)
then you should be able to use pccompanion to repair, or flashtool to flash a FTF
However, by flashing a recovery image you may have bricked the phone. try what I have said, if it does not work get back in touch. (Do you have access to jtag and setool?)

Can you link me to the files you suggested I try? There seems to be a truckload of them laying around the forum.
Also, yes, I am new to xperia phones. Didnt think they were this complicated to flash but I shouldnt have played with fastboot anyway. And no, sadly I dont have a jtag. Never needed one before.
Thanks for the help btw, I greatly appreciate this.
i dont think you have 100% installed the drivers, on windows 7 upwards you need to disable driver signature to allow any unsigned drivers to be installed

Ok here is an update; after messing with fastboot for so long and a couple of kernel flashes, I managed to boot the phone But now its stuck on the Sony logo.
A sign of hope though lies with the fact that I managed to enter recovery mode and found CWM hanging there. So now Im probably going to try ADB push a rom file to the SD and try to flash it through recovery instead.
@gregbradley
Sounds good. The reason forth hang at the sony logo will be that you have wiped the system partition. Flashing a rom based on the kernel you have will enable the phone to boot

Would flashing a custom rom zip from the CWM recovery, fix the bootloop? Or could it also be a baseband/firmware issue too?
Im not really familiar with Sony's bootloader unlock process, does it allow kernel flash from recovery or only through fastboot ala Htc style?

do u have any rom on it or u just have bootloop? i u can't access to rom, u need with flashtool to flash stock rom, when u do that u loose your root and lose your dualrecovery... u need to root it again and install dualrecovery
second is
if u can access to rom instal ndr utility and reboot in clockwork mod recovery...
third option si to install via fastboot advanced doomloader kernel which has clockwork mod and has root... after that to flash custom rom but stock version of custom rom
Any of you guys know of a Stock rooted 4.4.4 rom that comes with the stock kernel in a flashable zip? I have looked everywhere for one but I cant find any.

You cannot use Flashtool to unlock the bootloader of the Sony Xperia SP. Go to here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
Since it is not unlocked please read this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354721

Tried to install a 4.4.4 ROM from Philz Touch, deleted the ROM image, tried installing the .zip with the 4.4.4 ROM, said this ROM is for "tsubasa lt25i" your device is "mint". Phone won't boot, Sony logo appears, a blue light flicks, won't boot into recovery or even boot. Can I fix it?
Flashtool may be your best choice.

I would appreciate it so much if you could explain it to me step by step, cause I'm not an expert at this.
Bump.
It's in fastboot apparently, as Flashtool says so, device is recognized as PSDN:BX903JEHQV&ZLP. I click on Flashmode, but the .ftf file doesn't appear.
Bump.
Please prepare the ftf file for your device first.

Tried like five different ftf files, they're in the firnwares folder of Flashtool, tho there are 3 subfolders as well, tried putting it in those as well, still not being recognized by Flashtool.
Flashtool says bootloader can't be unlocked in an official way, I'm able to access flash and fastboot mode.
Could it be cause of the locked bootloader that I am not able to flash a custom ROM? I saw a thread for a ROM that doesn't need an unlocked bootloader, but the link isn't valid anymore.
