Just downgrade to .534 through flashtool and use nuts dual recovery installer then flash any of the latest rom from the development section.

Dowgrade via Flashtool, Install DualRecovery then install the Pre-Rooted FTF .757 from Here:

[Q] Forgot to turn on usb debug before flashing,now stuck in bootloop

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

I am trying to download the C6603 10.4.1.B.0.101 Generic HK ftf
Which should be what I have in my phone originally
Is that the one I should use?
Or I can just flash in any 10.4.1.B.0.101 ftf?

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!

need cwm recovery for stock .283 fw please urgent

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...
I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware
Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.

Flash stock ftf for your z1 then restore TA partition... Be sure to be on stock rom and kernal before restoring TA.. Stock roms can be now downloaded from flashtool directly...:thumbup:
