Edit: I tried uninstalling the phone from Device Manager, but that had no effect. When the flash fails I see a popup in the corner saying this device malfunctioned/is not recognized.

1.- Are you sure you have the right FTF for your phone model?
2.- Are you sure the FTF file isn't corrupted? (download again)
3.- Are you sure the proper drivers are installed (install them from the "drivers" folder in the Flashtool folder).
4.- Are you sure your USB cable isn't damaged and is disconnecting while flashing (try a different cable).
I think I've read that excluding the TA partition and/or BASEBAND might help. Don't take my word for it, Google it first.

1 - I have an Xperia T and this is the FTF I 'm trying to flash.
2 - Yes, I have re-downloaded from a mirror.
3 - That installer doesn't include drivers in it's list for Xperia T, the Xperia TX drivers failed to install, I tried them to see if they would work.
Edit: In flashtool, exclude baseband is clearly labelled, but exclude TA partition is not. I can exclude "partition", is that it? Or could it be the "FOTA" option?
4 - The cable isn't causing the problem. Tried another.
I have no idea how excluding the TA partition and/or the baseband. I'll read up about it and see if it helps.
I even used the full unroot option in SuperSU, just so I could try to update the official way but it still didn't work.

No, if you don't see the exclude TA, then the FTF doesn't have the "simlock.ta" file in it.
You should use the TX drivers. If you haven't installed drivers at all, then that is clearly an issue. You could try with this driver pack, but the drivers that come with Flashtool should work.
What error do you get when installing the drivers?

Here's a screenshot of the error.
But when I attempt to install the drivers you linked to above, the top driver (Sony(WinUSB), above Sony Net) in the Device Driver Installation Wizard window has a green tick next to it. The bottom one, Sony Net, still has a red X next to it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you're using Windows 8. You need to disable driver signature enforcement, either by doing this, or Googling another method (there are several).
Notice that drivers have been extracted to the temp folder (check your screenshot); I'd copy that driver folder to somewhere else, just to have it on hand, and that way it's easier to install the drivers manually through the Windows Device Manager, something you'd need to do after disabling the driver signing, and something I'd do anyways regardless if you're on Windows 8 or not; if drivers don't come with a specific software (such as Nvidia or ATI drivers) then it's always possible and in some cases easier to just add the driver manually through the Device Manager.

I got the drivers installed succesfully by disabling driver signature verification and running the installer, but I still get the same error in flashtool. I really thought that was going to fix it.

Open the Device Manager and check if you have any devices with a yellow exclamation mark/warning. Aside from that, try a computer with Windows 7, maybe?
If not, and considering that you get a "this device has malfunctioned" error in Windows, and it's not your USB cable, then your USB port on either your phone or computer might not be working properly.

The bad news is it didn't work
The good news is I got more info this time
Take a look at this screenshot, it's definitely some time of driver issue, something called S1boot fails to install: Screenshot.
That is AFTER the successful installation of the TX drivers in the drivers folder, these errors occur the instant my phone enters flashmode.
Edit: Forgot to mention this was on another PC, running Windows 7.
Edit 2: Just to clarify, the instant my phone entered flashmode, the computer tried to install those drivers.
Edit 3: I found this, I'm about to try it. Fingers crossed.
Edit 4: Those drivers didn't work. In Windows 8, I right click the INF and it installs, but no success on the flash. In Windows 7 I get a message that this INF does not support this method of installation. There are no devices with a yellow exclamation in device manager on either computer ;(
OK I managed to update the firmware using Sony Update Server program, now I constantly get the message android.process.media has stopped working. I tried to use an app called Rescan Media Root to disable the media scanner but it didn't work. The message is relentless, the phone is unusable because of this damn message
Maybe it's occurring because I disabled some system app or something?

Most likely you didn't wipe data, A.K.A. Factory Reset.

You're right. But I fixed it by clearing the data for Download Manager and Media Manager (or something like that).

hello
Few minutes ago ive been trying to install new FW for xperia t suddenly flashtool says that i dont have drivers for my phone. So ive installed drivers for flashmode,fastboot and xperia t /tx from flashtool folder. however problem still exists. does anyone have solution for it.
thanks in advance
oh damn, not a single word about your running OS
let me guess? win8, 8.1? if you have linux/ubuntu based available, i would suggest you to use flashtool,fastboot,adb on linux. if you only have win8/8.1. then you should search our xperia T forums, there are several posts about problems. there are problems with driver certification or other stuff like that since win8. if i remember right somehow i got all working on win8, but since i have win8.1, i switched to linux for android stuff^^
if i find the way i got it working on win8, then i edit my post.
best for the average pc user would be to use win7. my opinion.
Oh sorry i forgot about OS. So im running on Win XP SP 3.

Try a older version of Flash Tool,see if that helps. Also close any running processes you don't need before you install Flash Tool.
can someone provide link for older ver of flashtool. and about processes running in background i have only those needed by windows

i have installed them already. ive tried with several usb cables and nothing.
I've had some issues with the .14 version of Flashtool that you seem to be using
I wasn't able to flash anything.
Worked like a charm though when using my brothers laptop, that is running an older version of Flashtool
So maybe using you should try an older version of it
problem solved.
ive used flashtool 0.9.9.0 however problem seems to be with busybox as ive installed it again and now is flashing without problems
Hey everyone,
Have a bit of a major problem with my Xperia SP right now and I am hoping someone can help. I originally was on Windows 8.1 and had some major issues with the system, among one of these when I tried to install Flashtool drivers from the included file, I had to go through all the resetting and reinstalling to get driver enforcement off however when the drivers installed I connected my device and it was fine.
Then I tried to put the phone in Flash Mode and everything was going downhill, basically I connected my phone as I had done a thousand times previously on windows 7 and the phone would go green for about 3 seconds then red light and go into charging mode. If this was done when requested from flashtool it would detect it was connected but I get an error with loader.sin as below....

Now in normal circumstances this means your bootloader cannot be unlocked right? However my bootloader is unlocked.... and confirmed by service menu and also I have been using unlocked bootloader ROM's....
So anyway I eventually had enough of Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 (separate partitions are a beautiful thing ) and tried again.... same process same result. The best bit is on both systems I cannot forcefully uninstall any phone drivers because i just get an endless loop of failures unless I do it before connecting the phone once to the computer. The way the phone reacts in flashtool is as if the phone is permentantly in Flash Mode however its not and still stays the same way until I reboot my computer.
I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling but nothing is working. I even tried a different cable just in case and nothing. This only affects flash mode or the entire phone once flash mode has been activated once and then it affects the entire system and wont allow me to restart normally without pressing the reset button on my case even if the phone isn't connected and I also cannot do anything with the drivers anymore at this point.
I am actually trying to relock my bootloader and go back to stock as I will be selling the phone later this week. I flashed a cut down stock ROM from XDA using recovery but now its flashed I no longer have recovery either since it was stock and I have no root privileges now xD
Ideally what I am aiming for is to relock bootloader through flashmode, then use sony tool to reinstall full official firmware. This issue also happens with Sony tool by the way.
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Would you like to use a Linux version of Flashtool? I will guide you from the very Live USB booting, UDEV implementation, and lastly the flashing process
Though please note I am quite busy, so my replies will be quite slow.

Download and run the Xperia SP driver installer to check if you have the driver installed. Here's the link.

Sounds like you may need to install the flashtool-specific drivers. In your flashtool directory, there should be a "drivers" folder where you can install the flashtool (and fastboot)-specific drivers. I don't know if you need to have the latest version of flashtool (since this phone is still kind of new) to get a more appropriate driver set.
Also if you are installing these drivers in Windows 8 & up, you will likely have to install them while Driver Signature Enforcement (or whatever its called) is disabled. That method can be found easily via google search.
ok i installed the driver from the drivers folder. plugged the phone, recoqnised, but write up the following error:

ok i installed all drivers, and it works.
now i flashed already and got the latest build, and my telstra apps are all gone! woohoo! i suppose now my phone is like unlocked and sony version ( no carrier)?
thanks to the uploader at
[FTF] STOCK FIRMWARES for D5803 & D5833
one thing tho, when i want to delete app shortcut, the x location is now at the top, not at the bottom on the apps shortcut. is this what you all have?
Hi all i tried to flash my XZ2 with flashtool and i downloaded the latest ROM from Xperifirm. I created FTF file from the ROM i downloaded by unchecking .TA files. I have unlocked bootloader with cmd (which means all the drivers must be installed properly). But it didnt show neither errors nor succeeding in flashing the ROM. When i exited flash boot mode, my phone still can be turned on normally.
In before, i softbricked my phone but managed to reflash it with EMMA, but not satisfied because it's android 8. Anyone please help me, what steps i missed here? Im super noob in this kind of stuff, so please explain it easily for me. Thank u!

I have solved the problem. So i need to install the driver from C:\Flashtool\drivers, ticked the flash boot and fast boot, include .TA files in the FTF file, and not plugging my phone in USB 3.0 slot. Hope this would be useful for anyone having the same problem as mine.
Oke so i finally got araund to do my daily driver sony xz1 compact and when i tried to unlock the bootloader using flashtool also know as sony mobile flasher by androyxde.
I get the following error
ERROR - Cannot invoke “String.split(String)” because the return value of “java.util.Properties.getProperty(String)” is null
Now i looked everywhere on the internet literally and i could not find a awnser to my problem but i did find multiple people with this problem but no defenitive awnser…
but i kept looking and i found that my computer can not find my phone exactlly because when i use command and try adb devices it cant see it but fastboot mode it can.
So i looked for an awnser and said probally need to update your drivers so i downloaded drivers from the sony site installed them then got the message that i have to restart computer before it can go into effect and i do that and then nothing stil does not work i see no adb devices in the list.
oh and i selected the allow unknow drivers from the security option in windos 10 so that should be oke.
I think this might be the problem that adb devices cant be read seeing as it has to be in that mode when trying to unlock the bootloader in flashtool.
This is what it shows in the program

It's been a while since I've done it but I think you need the Google USB drivers and the 15sec ADB driver. If I remember, the Sony driver doesn't work for ADB/Fastboot. You'll need to update/assign one driver while it's connected in normal mode and do the other while it's in fastboot mode.
Thank you for your fast reply
I already had 15 sec adbdriver and for the assigning driver i dont quite understand but i tried it in difrent modes and it tells it already has the most up to date drivers.
stil doesnt work
what am i missing ?

Did you assign the drivers manually? Windows will almost always tell you that you have the most up-to-date drivers and leave it at that. You need to go to device manager, right click update driver and then select browse my computer for drivers. It'll give you the option to search a location on your computer but you want the 2nd option that says Let Me Pick from a List of Available Drivers on my Computer.
I also reread your OP and saw you're using sony mobile flasher by androyxde. I don't remember ever using that. It was several years ago but I only used newflasher, renoroot and adb/fastboot. I used newflasher to downgrade to Oreo, renoroot to back up TA and adb/fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Then I did the process in reverse to have an unlocked BL and the latest Pie version.

Newflasher ? is just to flash firmware i dont need to i already have latest firmware.
I did that first manuelly install drivers i downloaded from the sony site but i do not know about the adb driver ? is that the 15 sec adb driver installer
I cant unlock bootloader using adb/fastboot because when using command adb devices it cant see my phone?
so wether it is flashtool or adb/fastboot it doesnt work theres gotta be something i am missing?

You need newflasher to downgrade to oreo so you can unlock bootloader.
If you have the ADB driver, then you need the Google USB driver.
If none of this helps, I'm sorry but I can't offer any more.
i need to downgrade to oreo so i can unlock bootloader ?
i didnt know that what is the reason for this ?
hmmm is there a how to on the site or somewhere that i may have missed somehowe ? seems weird to me there isnt alot of info about this doesnt have everyone had the same problem at some point?
Anyway thank you for your help
when on my computer can see it so it works
when in fastboot mode it can be seen so it has the right driver (can also be seen in command)
however android adb interface has a ! mark and gives me a code 10 error ?
Edit: i deleted the one with the ! so no more code 10 error but i then tried literally every single one in the list but noone works ? with that i mean it shows the device works but i can not use command adb devices and adb reboot bootloader does stil not work
I ****ed up i had it ... it worked i dont know what i did but it worked so i go back to flashtool thinking to get this over with now suddenlly i get error missing driver? and that i should go to the driver folder and i go there and install al of them just in case i then try it again but now i get the same error i had in the beginning ? adb doesnt work anymore and now i try to install adb driver but it wont work ??? damn 2 steps front 3 steps back
Anyone willing to help me install drivers i just cant seem to get it to work?
I ended up reinstalling windows 10 and then tried again and then it worked.
