yes the bootloader is unloack but i had my phone rooted before then had to use pc companion to repair it, ive unlocked it again to be sure.

It seems driver problem.
I met the same problem as well as others yesterday, when I unlock, relock, re-unlock, root locked, root unlocked, flash recovery... for some crazy reason.
Try these:
Connect to flashtool (beta2 or beta4) with device power-on debug off, to see if flashtool can recognize it, and how much it can recognize.
Connect to flashtool with device power-on debug on , to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in fastboot mode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in flashmode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Flashtool may fix some driver error. I just succeeded after hours of bungling like that.
Good luck.

I have this problem as well, tried doing above things, uninstalling drivers, reinstalling - help appreciated.

and Phone is working normal but after 5 second reboot and FC 's
Plz Help

same issue...
Has anyone found a sure fix for the issue presented by the original post? I am having this issue and I have tried different drivers, ftf's, computers, adb/fastboot/versions and flashtool versions. I have unlocked and relocked. Is rooting status "unknown" normal after bootloader unlock? -Z Ultra 6833 EU

Still no solution?
With my C6603 it does not allow to write boot aswell. Any final solutions?
edit: solution found: bootloader was not unlocked

This is the wrong forum to ask this. This is the Xperia Z section.
Despite that, you need to unlock your bootloader to flash kernels via fastboot.

After months using stock everything I decided to flash CM11 yesterday, I'm doing exactly same step as I was doing when on 4.1/4.2 but it seems like it doesn't works, I'm not even sure that my BL is unlocked despite success message, when trying to reboot after unlock BL I had a bootloop and when trying to recover with Sony's Flashtool it says 'device not unlocked'. So I repaired with PCC and restarted from scratch but same results today.
I'm totally lost as like I said I was doing exactly same thing on the same PC.
Edit : Now my XZ doesn't even start! I have the red led blinking while connected with usb, power+ Vol+ doesn't do anything, no vibrations at all!
I was on latest sony official ROM
Edit2 : Tryied again to recover with Sony's Flashtool but it says "Mobile Locked" that's crazy!

fastboot remote command not allowed Xperia Z3
I unlocked my boatloader, but have no way to confirm that it is still unlocked. I'm running Windows 7. Fastboot used to work just fine before I unlocked my bootloader. FLASHTOOL works fine. But if I try to flash anything with fastboot I get the remote command error. Can't flash recovery. Can't flash boot image.

Look in the service menu to confirm if your bootloader is unlocked.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. It will say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" if it's unlocked.

By installing FLASHTOOL by Sony I was instantly notified that my bootloader was not unlocked, even though I had already unlocked it three or four times without any errors. So I unlocked it again. Then fastboot flashed my images just fine.

[Q] System.sin error!! Help me please

Few days ago my device got bricked, when I press the power button it gives me a red light (2 times) when I plug it in to a wall charger, light keeps constant... I've charged the device for 12 + hours and then tried to reflash stock roms 4.1 and 4.3 (CE/AU/GE) using latest flash tool. It gives me an error at the end of processing System.sin. I changed data cables, try different pcs but nothing did work. Then I tried to update the phone using PC Companion but it didn't worked. Then someone told me to flash the files without System.sin using flashtool and then extract System.sin using 7zip and flash it using Fastboot software. (command line software) when I try to flash from there it says FAILED : File size is too large. Please help me out. I'm really pissed off right now because there are no sony care centers in our country. Someone please help me out. I really appreciate your help. Thanks loads :crying:
PS : I can unlock/relock bootloader.

If you wish this will take some quite amount of time. And above all theoretically constructed. But I do wish it could help you. Now lets get dirty!
REQUIREMENTS:
DoomLord's Advanced Stock Kernel
An unlocked bootloader!
Flashtool
A .ftf of your desired firmware
I am assuming your device is now capable of turning on (battery juice present).
Overview
You will create a flashable zip of the stock ROM with Flashtool. Afterwards flash it through recovery
Procedures
Whilst having a stock ftf in hand, follow MrSteve's handy guide on how to create a stock ROM .zip (Post doesn't tell you how to extract an ftf! Its easy, rename the file extension to .zip and extract the contents (.sins (lol)) to an another folder. If otherwise your zip manager support ftf extraction, then proceed on your own method)
Flash DoomLord's kernel via fastboot in flashtool
Connect your phone in fastboot mode (hold down vol up while device is powered off then connect to your computer. you can release vol button once phone is detected)
Flash DoomLord's advanced kernel by selecting the Lightning icon in the toolbar, select Fastboot mode, then select "Select Kernel to Flash". Navigate to and choose your downloaded DoomLord's kernel
Unplug your phone upon completion.
Turn the phone on, while on LED light, press volume up key repeatedly until your phone gets into recovery.
Wipe your phone clean! Please wipe /system, /data, /cache and dalvik. You are encouraged to also factory reset through the recovery.
Flash your self-made stock zip.
Reboot and lots of prays

Thank you so much, I followed your instructions and managed to flash it... Then I got offline charging error. Then I relocked my bootloader and and flashed stock rom 4.3. It flashed... Now phone works but offline charging is not working. Any solution :crying:

Have you tried specifically flashed stock ROM through flashtool after successfully flashed the zip you created earlier? In fact this problem shouldn't happen. And from what I remember, this might have to do with Kernel.
Please flash again the stock ftf. If is still fails, please get me to know it. You can untick DATA APP etc under the WIPE section in Flashtool when you are selecting a firmware. This will preserve your data and everything.

Bricked and problems flashing

Hi guys,
I got a Z1 this morning (2nd hand). There was a problem with the camera not adjusting focus so I thought I'd update to a custom ROM and see how that went before I replaced the camera module.
Firstly I rooted my phone with no probs.
I then backed up the TA and unlocked the bootloader, again with no probs.
Now I ran into some problems I can't remember the tutorial I read but it said you needed a custom kernel for custom recovery.
So I booted into fastboot and flashed Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-108_v05.
That flashed ok but now the phone wont boot (static red LED). I can still get into fastboot mode and flash kernels no problems.
I'm pretty sure I can get into flash mode, no LED shows up but it shows as device connected in Flashtool.
I try to flash firmwares (tried 4.4 latest and 4.3) however it fails with the error
21/040/2014 19:40:31 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
21/040/2014 19:40:31 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0017";ERR_DYNAMIC="0x800A0017 ";
Click to expand...

I searched the problems and saw people saying to install every driver in flashtool which I've done which makes no difference.
Installed SEUS, the Sony companion tool. Nothing seems to help with the error.
I'm about to uninstall everything and reinstall to see if that helps but otherwise I'm stumped. Any insight would be appreciated
Edit: Just in case, it's a C6903. It was on 4.4.2 Official FW
I also checked if my bootloader was unlockable before unlocking (it was)
BTW I've tried all 6 of my USB ports and 8 different cables
Oh and I know when the brick happened, not sure what I should have done differently? (flashed recovery, ROM then kernel?)

FML!
Delete this if you want. Guy told me it was a Z1, after now 12hrs of thinking it was and trying to fix a Z1, it turns out it's a Z.
Flashed a Z kernel and have life again

Well, sad to say, but you don't have the warranty anymore, as you have unlocked your bootloader, within erasing all your DRM keys (ironic, I know).
But if you have a TA-Partition backup, then you could just push in, (just be sure before pushing TA to flash stock .ftf with its kernel) and your DRM keys are back. Then you could proceed futher for warranty service.
Firstly, if you don't want go to warranty, try to flash Pabx Lollipo (it's stock lollipop). After that you could check if it has been fixed and flashing commands are properly working

DRM keys are stored in your TA-Partition, they're required for many functions to work: Clear audio, Camera functions, Official ROM and it's updates (If i'm right with this one) and other.
I recommend you to download android SDK, then go to it --> Platform tools --> SHIFT + RMB (right mouse button) --> Open Command Prompt Here.
After that, shut down your phone. Wait atleast 30 seconds. then by holding Vol +, plug it into PC. Blue LED should show up.
Then in CMD type this:
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should be returned some numbers and letters. If it doesn't show anything, then your windows maybe doesn't support fastboot or you don't have drivers to that (fastboot + adb drivers).
Make sure in this folders are fastboot.exe and adb.exe (the most importantly to us is fastboot.exe) and some other files as well.
If ir returns information correctly, then you can download any rom and extract it (I sugges you to use Pabx).
Extract everything from .ZIP/.RAR, you should see system.img, boot.img, userdata.img. Place them into platform-tools directory (where fastboot.exe and other files are).
Then simply write these commands in CMD:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If everything will go OK, then you can reboot your device:
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then your phone should start normally, after that you can manually install CWM and other things either.
If it didn't work, just quote me regarding the problem, I'll try to help you

I'm sorry to tell you, but you phone doesn't have warranty anymore and specilized Sony staff won't take it for fixing, as you have unlocked your bootloader, so you need take it to local repair service (Sony might fix it, but with some price of course).
Either way, you can try install drivers on other computer, if you have one, then try on it.

Yeah, if your phone is psychical damage (overheated) and doesn't turn on, then they may change it for you to another one, but If they will bring the life back to it, they would be able to see if DRM keys are in their place, and even if you've re-locked your BL, it doesn't change the situation at all, because in the service menu they could check if DRM keys are not erased, if so - they will not fix it under the warranty

09-03 for now. I'm not sure which version was perfect working, as the newest 03-11 isn't working properly as it should to.

So, I suggest you to try only from 03-03 to 03-08

Understand
So , I decided to install ressurection ROM , and work perfect ( Validus rom is dark , i dont like dark themes and have some bugs , Ressurection is for me much better. )

**HELP** Flashed TWRP Zip file. Phone reboots into black screen after boot logo.

Cannot get into recovery. Device seems to be bricked.
After Sony logo there is nothing else other than black screen. Please help me recover my device.

Don't Panic, this can easily be recovered. However the data that was inside I'm afraid is gone forever. Maybe it can be recovered maybe not, anyway I'm giving you some easy steps you can follow to recover your device.
1. Download Flashtool
2. Download the Firmware you want to load into the phone. (Search in the forum for .ftf ---make sure it is for Xperia Z --- files or you can download Xperifirm and make them on your own)
3. Once you have the .ftf file ready click on the Flash (Lightning) icon and select the firmware (.ftf) [Mode to flash is FLASHMODE]
4. When the phone is just one second from booting up (I know you are now in a cycle - loop but try as many times until you get it right), with the VOLUME DOWN button pressed connect it into the PC.
5. Wait for flash - About 10-15 min and you are done.
For any questions ask here. Good luck

I recovered my phone via Sony PC companion. Succesfuly managed to flash dual recovery again. Flashed ROM and Gappps.
This time Phone didnt start after reboot. There is not even a sony logo. No reboots at all and now it seems bricked ?

Can you get to the point where the phone lights up the GREEN LED (flash mode) ?
Also what version of windows are you using?

Hi, Flash mode is working for me. I have recovered couple of times using flashtools in flash mode. But fastboot mode is not working for me. It says drivers are missing though I have installed drivers..
I went through tthe threads and could find a workking method to unlock the bootloader. Sony has too many appps which I do not need, I want to get rid of them as it consumes a lot of batttery. Hence a custom Rom with basic stuffs arre the soolution.
If you can help me unlock my BL I'd be thankful
And one more question, does TWRP's Latest version only works for Unlocked BL ?

First, Try to do things in order!!!
You are very messy, first you needed to unbrick the device, now you want to unlock its BL and want to know if you can install TWRP!
Install a stock firmware, make sure you can unlock the phone (by checking in the settings menu)...
And post some info...
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Good for you, for anyone who needs to install fastboot driver on windows 10, when they cannot install they need to disable windows driver signature:

Also for some who is in the same situation please post your solution, it helps the community.

I would like to know if there are custom kernels available for battery saving ? I flashed Zomie kernel and it was repeatedly booting my device into multirom recovery.
Right now I am on mokee, can I use any custom kernel with it ? If yes what ? I couldnt find many custom kernels for the device and what about Roms ? Not many custom Roms as well, only found RR and Mokee. Slim LP does not have a working link and couldnt find other popular roms too for this device.

I never tried new kernels, only thing install Kernel Adiutor and underclock, also change the governor mode.
As for the rom I use the modified stock rom by @androidexpert35, it provides good balance between performance and battery life. For any Rom you should write in their dedicated post. Keep experimenting but do it in a reasonable way and don't try to ask for everything, search and read others. Good luck
