Flashtool's drivers will fail when installing on Windows 8. This is because Windows 8 has some driver verification crap. To turn this feature off, go to the bottom-right corner of your screen to get that stupid bar to appear. Click Settings. Then at the very bottom, choose "Change PC Settings". Then go to General. Then scroll it down to the bottom (Advanced start-up). This will require a restart to show you the options. Do that and you will see "Troubleshoot". Click it. Then "Advanced Options". Then "start-up settings". Then hit the Restart button (again - grrrrrr...) When you see the Startup Settings screen, you'll see option 7 is to disable the driver signature enforcement. Hit F7 to do it. Then it will boot into Win8. Now you can finallyrun the Flashtool Drivers install to install your drivers (flashmode, fastboot, the specific one for your phone, etc.) You will notice that it will ask you a few times if you're sure you want to install the unsigned drivers. Say yes. Once it's all done, restart the machine and you can flash away.

Awesome that worked flawlessly!
I've installed the drivers but I still get this error log in flashtool:

my device goes into flashmode for like 3 seconds and boots normally afterwards....... and my computer doesn't recognize my phone when it's in flashmode....
any ideas?
btw, my bootloader unlock status is NO. does that prevent me from flashing a different firmware?
thanks again

Did you try change other USB port?
Answer: if USB port problem test every port u plug in if tat work perfectly then remember use tat port when u wan flash ur phone
If not, check your phone and see allow you to unlock?
If not allow to unlock mean u cannot use whatever tool to unlock ur phone follow below step to check
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Go to Service info → Configuration.
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes: bootloader is locked. Unlock possible.
Bootloader unlock allowed - No: bootloader is locked. Unlock impossible.
Bootloader unlock - Yes: bootloader is unlocked.

"Bootloader unlock allowed: NO"
does that mean I can't flash a different firmware? Or even root?

Wrong,
It just means you cannot unlock the bootloader.
You can still root, flash ftf, install recovery and flash stock based roms.
The only thing you cannot do is flash custom kernels, so Ron's like CM, MIUI, etc cannot be flashed as they require custom kernels
Edit
Plus you do not even need to be rooted to flash ftf our use flash tool

FRKD: Are you using the stock Sony usb cable that came with your phone? Mine will not flash FTF's successfully unless I'm using it.

I'll try different cables just to make sure
edit: I used different cables and same thing happened. the thing is that I don't get into flashmood just by pressing the volume down button and letting it go. that doesn't work. I have to press the down button then connect the cable then press the power button with the volume down button. and i get into flash mood for like 3-5 seconds only
Thanks guys

OK, with the possibility that the cable or USB port *may* not be fully compatible for flashing FTF's, lets also check the following:
1) Are you certain that Sony PC Companion is not running in the background? I have heard that it can interfere with the operation. Check your system tray and also your Windows Task Manager to make sure it's not running.
2) Are you using the latest Flashtool version? There is a sticky in the Development forum ( here ) that has 0.9.11.0. If you don't have this version, I suggest uninstalling your current version, and installing this one. Also dont forget to install the 3 drivers from this version (Flashmode / Fastboot / Your Device).
3) Not sure if this is important, but - Have you installed Flashtool to a simple path? I have mine installed in C:\temp\flashtool
4) When flashing: You load the FTF in Flashtool, let it process whatever files it needs, and then it pops up a window to tell you to connect. To connect your phone in flashmode, make sure it is off, then hold the VolDown button, and while still holding it down, connect the USB cable to the phone. When you see in Flashtool that flashing has started, you can let go of the button.
I hope this helps.

Hmm...is it possible the battery is dead? I remember having trouble flashing with very low % (it was a stupid move). I plugged the phone in (wall charger) overnight and it flashed fine the next day.
Also Im not sure if it was mentioned - what is the filename of the FTF youre trying to flash?

try not to flash ur phone with less than 50%, flash ur phone at least 80% of battery, because during flash your phone, the battery will drain very very fast

I tried flashing at 100% .....
Still nothing. U guys have any other suggestions?
just to add here, my device doesn't charge when turned off..... I think that's the problem. you guys think I should I send it to Sony for a fix?

install usb drivers manually
if u r on win8 u should know to disable driver signature and etc (all tutorials are available)
then to find solution calm down, and check what did u do exactly step by step
not deleting another rom (i m opinion) cannot cause hard-brick cause almost of custom recoveries wipe everything themselves before start to flash new rom...
:good:

i don know what device is for xperia
but sth called Box is for galaxies that can reinstall rom from initial binaries... so it can help to recover almost dead phone
and some special tools again for galaxies, like g-tag or ...
i know them cause i hard-bricked my s3
But i didn't have any access to these tools... so my my s3 pasted away...
for ur situation; search more for these kindda tools and take it asap to pro. service or professional hardware engineer
good luck
:good:

Do you have ADB set up? See if ADB recognizes fastboot mode. Then maybe you can fastboot flash. But as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge the bootloader seems to be corrupted, which is probly irrepairable. Maybe you can get some of the real devs to help you if you ask nicely enough, I'm just a lurker...

Try Sony Update Service. Download from their website, install and try

i try it but even don't know phone when connect it in flashmode!

Start up Sony Update Service, select your phone and follow the stepps. At one point you'll see this pic:
Remove the backcover. If you look closely you'll see a tiny yellow button.. Use a pen or paperclip to push and hold it for a few second to turn it off (will take some time and patience because our phone has its own will xD and will boot up again) Plug in cable into phone and into pc and press volume down untill you see a green light. This indicates flashmode.
If it goes well the programm should start doing its download and flash work

the green light is showing but Sony Update Service don't start flashing & it remaining in your screenshot stat!

Got a picture for me?
On second thought:
You got flashtool installed? (and thus the drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers?)

picture is like post 4#
yes i install it & drivers

I mean of your phone? I mean if the phone is connected into flashmode it should work.. So I dont understand why it wont work...

@amir_n71, did you download a firmware to use with Flashtool?

yes i download

And tried ofcourse...
Prior issue now is we need to get the phone into working flashmode so that Flashtool or Sony Update Center can reflash the Firmware...

Just to be sure, did you:
a. Check if your battery had enough juice left for flashing and, if not, tried to recharge it,
b. Try to enter recovery by powering on the phone while holding Volume Down button (if you had a recovery previously installed),
c. Use a Windows computer,
d. Exit and kill any running ADB processes (Sony Update Service and PC Companion included) before trying to flash with Flasthool?
and then:
1. Power off the phone (using side power button OR by pressing the Off button under the battery cover),
2. Download latest Flashtool,
3. Install FT AND flashmode and fastboot drivers,
4. Download a suitable official firmware in a form of a .FTF file (full firmware, not just a kernel),
5. Copy that firmware to the "firmwares" folder in FT's install directory,
6. Start FT, click on a "lightning" icon, wait for the proram to finish its thing, select the firmware you downloaded, click on "Flash", connect the phone to a USB port while powered off and holding Volume Down button until FT started the flashing process?

Just disconnect and reconnect. I got that a lot with my Xperia ray

i tried but no answering!

ADB drivers: None
Fastboot Drivers: None
I suggest you reinstall Flashtool. It misses some drivers. (perhaps the cause?)
And also update Flashtool... See their thread and website

i installed latest version from flashtools website!

Now install fastboot and flashmode drivers that came with Flashtool. Open "drivers" folder, run that single EXE file, select fastboot and flashmode from the list and install them.
And be careful to run the correct version of Flashtool on your system! Run "flashtool64.exe" on a 64bit Windows, and "flashtool.exe" if you have a 32bit Windows OS.

[Q] Problems with unlocking bootloader for Sony Xpera SP

I'm having problems unlocking the bootlaoder for my Sony Xpera SP.
The part I'm getting stuck at is where I'm supposed to connect my phone in fastboot mode to the PC.
I've tried installing a bunch of drivers everywhere, followed guides and stuff, but whatever I do, I can't get the phone in proper fastboot mode.
The flashtool says:
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."
First off, I can't even find the drivers for Sony Xperia SP, but there are tons for the S and P versions.
But when I try installing those drivers it still doesn't work.
I just want to install CM 11 on it, though I never thought it would be this much work.. I've been trying to fix this for over 5 hours already.
It would be really nice if anyone could help me through this.

I'm having problems unlocking the bootlaoder for my Sony Xpera SP.
The part I'm getting stuck at is where I'm supposed to connect my phone in fastboot mode to the PC.
I've tried installing a bunch of drivers everywhere, followed guides and stuff, but whatever I do, I can't get the phone in proper fastboot mode.
The flashtool says:
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."

You'll need to run the installer located within Flashtool install directory. It seems you are currently run Windows. Assuming you did not change the install path, you can find Flashtool in the root of your local hard disk. Navigate to C:\Flashtool\drivers and then execute the installer there in. Tick "Flashmode drivers" and "Fastboot drivers" cause obviously you'll require it. Scroll down a bit and tick "Common drivers for Viskan board". This will install proper flash drivers.

Afterwards for the exclusive driver for your SP (I am assuming you're on stock), Open PC Companion (install it if you don't have it) then connect your Xperia SP with your cable. This will install the drivers for your SP. If you have done this before, you actually already have the drivers installed.
Note that if above methods are well executed by you, you'll find out on the first connect, flashtool will detect the phone partially and somehow later it disconnects. Don't worry, somehow through this process your computer might be installing additional drivers. Retry to connect your Xperia SP.
Above all, do note that in order to unlock the bootloader, you'll need to connect your phone in flashmode. To do so, when prompted, while the phone in its powered down state, hold the volume down button then connect the cable to your phone.

Thanks a lot!
I'm not sure what the problem was, but over the night + installing PC Companion fixed it. Finally CM 11 is mine

The easiest way to restore your phone is repairing it using Sony pc companion.. Here you are a step by step guide to do that:
1- Go to Xperia SP page on Sony mobile website and download PC Companion then install it on your PC.
2- Turn off your phone by pressing the small yellow button on the back untill it vibrats 3 times.
3- Open PC Companion on your PC.
4- Start "Support zone" and wait untill download finish.
5- Next, choose "Phone Software Updates".
6- You will see a message asking you to connect your handset while powered on, just ignore these connection instructions. And press the blue link which states "Repair Phone/tablet.”
7- Follow the on screen steps appear next.
8- When you asked to connect your phone (still powered off), make sure that you press and hold the key stated on screen before connecting the phone and keep it held down as you connect.
9- The repair process should now begin.
Note: this process will remove any data stored on your phone's internal storage.

You're getting this error because your phone bootloader is unlocked, so you need to relock it again to use pcc.
Or you can use Emma by Sony for unlocked boot loader phones, download it from this link:

try flastool
try flashtool to only flash kernel (with recovery like tangerine etc, only elf extension file)& after that flash any custom rom from recovery.
or you could use flashtool to flash stock image from pc.
