Pull your battery out. Run the flashtool, click the lightning button and flash in fastboot (the first option) and then select the ftf file for 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 (there's a thread in the development section with the FTF files).
Flash (and leave the boxes as they are ) --> Once it prepares the phone for flashing, it will ask you to to connect the phone in fastboot mode.
DONT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON
Hold the volume down button while plugging in the cable. It should flash.
Let me know if it worked.

fastboot is the second option in my flashtool menu, which should i choose?
ps and should I leave battery out?
THANK YOU DJpeesh,
you saved my day:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
followed your instructions ( 1e option flashmode with battery still removed ) an successfuly flashed phone.
I think it went wrong when I flashed boot.img file from cmw recovery with fastboot from cl when phone was also still connected throw Flashtool.
I use all linux tools (flashtool, adb, fastboot , doomlord-rooting kit)
ps By your opinion, is it still save to follow intructions on the link in my first post to get my xperia zR on latest firmware and have root access?
Jackman17. Try updating through Sony update service and then use vroot (can send you thread link later).
I'm running 4.2.2 and I'm rooted.

I cant seem to install my flashmode and flashtool drivers to my xperia sp. I am able to get into flashmode for about 5-6 secs. But when the computer is install the drivers into my phone, it leaves flashmode halfway and reboot on its on. Can anyone teach me how to fix this issue?

Errm i mean that my phone doesn't stay in flashmode long enough for me to install the drivers into the phone
Well if you have done everything right with flashtool's installation, then you're doing something wrong while flashing.
If you want to flash a new firmware into your phone you must plug-in your device in "normal" mode (not flash mode), then:
1) Execute flashtool
2) select the "flash device" icon
3) select "flashmode" option, click "OK"
4) select firmware you want to flash (make sure which options you want to be checked/unchecked)
5) click on "flash" button
This is when Flastool will ask you to
->Unplug device
->Power off
->Press Vol- button and connect while pressing (this is flash mode)
Give it a try, also read a little bit about Flashtool procedures.
Cheers

I've got a xperia sp, unlocked bootloader device. I've installed CWM recovery. Recently I tried to install CM 11 and I changed the update binary file since I couldn't flash the rom due to set_metadata error. ( A fix I found in a XDA Thread ). Now the device is on a boot loop at sony logo. I had this issue previously and I just flashed my stock rom using flashtools.
Now the issue is, when I connect my device to the pc while holding the volume down key, the green light ( indicating the device in flashmode ) comes up and it stays for few seconds and the device boots normally going into the boot loop.
I have installed the drivers for xperia, since I rooted and installed the cwm recovery on the same machine the day before. I prepared the ftf file and when flashtool prompted me to connect the device I connect. Windows does not indicate a device connecting with the usual sound.
I tried every possible way of connecting the device in flashmode but it doesn't stay for more than 5 seconds. The same for fastboot too.
any ideas on how I can recover my devce without giving it to a service center?
Thank you.

Firstly, power off the device if stuck in bootloop.
Take off your back case. Take a pen,pencil or similar object. Hold the small yellow button at the bottom of the device with the nib of pen or the object you are having. Hold that button until the device vibrates thrice
If you have flashtool.. Download stock ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 and place it in Flashtools>firmware. Connect your device in flashmode( Volume Down and connect). Click on the Lighting Button> Flashmode and flash. [ BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY AS IT GETS FORMATTED]
But note that you will lost Root Access. You have to root your Xperia SP again. And if you have unlocked bootloader then it will remain unlocked. No need to unlock again.

The problem is that I tried doing that! when flash tool requests to connect the device in flash mode, I power off the device and while holding the volume down connect. But there is no sound from pc of connecting a device.! The device turns green for 5 seconds, then starts to boot again. I tried installing the drivers again but the drivers are already there!
Are you able to enter CWM ?

Try this. [ I am not sure about this. I haven't tried this ]
Connect your Xperia SP with pc. And hold that small yellow rest button for 5-6 secs. It should connect your device in flashmode.
It just my opinion. If flashmode does not work why not try in fastboot? Just download any custom rom. Extract the zip file and flash it boot.img. Enter the recovery by pressing vol+. Install the custom rom. After finishing you can try back to flash the stock rom using flashtool.

This seemed to be a hardcore drivers problem. I can't pinpoint you to the right direction as I am not a Windows user (and also prolly lazy to reboot my laptop right now lol)
On your own computer
Open Device Management, and uninstall all related drivers of Xperia SP. These also includes flashmode and fastboot mode drivers. Then execute the "drivers" installer within Flashtool install directory (which is default C:\Flashtool). Then attempt to flash again.
Try on another computer.....
...to see if it works. But make sure to install the drivers first, as mentioned above. Attempt flashing again/
fastboot a CWM-ready kernel
You could also alternatively use a quicker flashing process, which is fastboot WIlliams kernel v7 (the kernel's .elf is in the zip). I can assure it only takes lesser than 4 seconds. For broader steps you may refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56907083&postcount=3

The thing is for me
1) I cant see the small yellow button that you are talking about.
2) My device is nto connecting to the flashtool, it keeps on telling me to press the 'back button' -which my xperia sp c5303 does not have.
3) your volume down and connect does not do anything. Apparently there's supposed to be a green light as well and I dont see that.
This question is really to anybody knowledgable about this... Can you help?
I have Flashtool. And the stock firmware in the right place as well. But nothing else seems to be working.
My phone shows the Sony icon when I plug it in to teh computer and press the power button, otherwise when turn it on, it just shows a red light.

1st
I think he means the reset button. It's more copper or gold than yellow.
2nd
Don't look for back button. In the SP, vol down is Flashmode, vol up is Fastboot.
3rd
Press the button before connecting USB, hold it and release when light becomes green.
4th
I would recommend the Sony program "Emma". Make sure you get the latest version. Earlier versions didn't support the SP.
Google for "Emma chip.de Download".
You'll get to a German site. Just click through the download buttons

one more thing, its says I need an unlocked bootloader but on some other threads where they were using flashtool they said that having an unlocked bootloader was bad and that it can severely damage your phone. Either way I cannot unlock my bootloader so it doesnt matter. I'll try it using Androxyde's Flashtool first and then yours if it does not work.

It didnt become green, and also there is no reset button, there is only a yellow bit of plastic in this little hole, and it says OFF. But I dont think that does anything.
I think I need some more specific instuctions and need to know where that button is.

Didn't read your bootloader is locked. Then forget Emma! It won't work.
The off button is the reset button.
Do the following.
When flashtool asks you to put your phone to flashmode:
- Unplug the phone
- Turn it off if it isn't off
- Press and hold the volume down button
- Keep holding it!!!
- Plug your phone to the PC. Don't usw usb 3 port.
- Light will turn green, flashing will start

Actually to use EMMA your bootloader has to be unlocked, but if you can't use flashtool or EMMA, you can try the original Sony PC Companion. Go to the repair phone section, identify phone, and it can help you to flash your stock firmware. From there you can restart flashing.of ROMs and all. Worked for me

This would work except for the fact that my phone's bricked. I deleted the system part of the phone using TWRP. So yh.
I have used the repair thing before though, when I deleted the download manager on my phone and literally could not download anything. So I can recommend that definitely.

Have you installed all the necessary drivers via FlashTool? All 3 of 'em i.e fastboot drivers, flashmode drivers and SP (huashan) drivers?
I know its a rudimentary question and you probably have but you'd be surprised how often people get stuck cause they haven't installed requisite drivers.
If the above fails, well you already seem to have TWRP installed so why don't you just boot into it and flash a ROM? Unless you really need to return to stock firmware for some reason, that's a viable solution to your problem.

I think the root is gone, that was part of the thing/whatever I did using TWRP to the system. So using any custom recovery is out of the picture anyway cos it wont work without root and then that's without the fact that I cant access the recoveries in the first place. Every time I try and turn my Xperia SP on, the illumination bar lights up red two or three times and that's it. All the time. Sometimes when connected to the PC it shows the Sony logo, in bootloop.
On flashtool, I made sure specifically to install the SP driver and the flashmode driver. I'm still trying though...

Why did you delete the system via Twrp? Also when you say you can't unlock your bootloader, does that mean you don't know how to or its not unlockable at all? Is your phone being detected in fastboot and is it showing up in Device Manager?
Well if your system's gone, root access is the least of your worries. On the bright side though, your phone's recoverable since as you have mentioned, its alteast showing the Sony splash screen occasionally.
You need to get Flashtool to detect your phone cause Sony PC Companion won't work since you don't have a working system and I read above that Emma needs an unlocked bootloader. Also if your bootloader's not unlockabke, you can't flash a custom recovery and what good's a nandroid backup when you don't have a recovery to restore it from?
If you can't get your phone recognized on your PC, get on someone else's, one preferably running 7 if you don't want to go through all the disable driver enforcement nonsense and install FlashTool, install drivers and flash stock firmware. Like I said, as long as you can see the Sony splashscreen, your phone ain't dead.

Me deleting TWRP was an accident, I dont know exactly how I did it, but I'd attributed it to wiping my system. Or by removing root, which I did somehow. I think removing root, kinda makes a custom recovery useless.
My phone's bootloader unlock permissions are set to no. So I cant unlock it.
And every time I try to flash a stock firmware .ftf file onto it, the phone is not recognised and I make sure to press the volume down button when I connect the wire to the phone.
And yeah, the SONY logo shows itself when my phone is charging. It's been like that for the whole time just on SONY. Also the illumination bar is red. But is it not supposed to turn orange and then green if it is fully charged.
And no, I have been able to flash a custom recovery without having unlocked my bootloader. It's how put TWRP on it in the first place- though I need to find it again. Hopefully, soon, Ill be able to install it and then flash my NANDROID backup onto it.
Lately my phone cant go into boot, it just show sony logo, then the logo blured, and it back to sony logo.
I had just done install cwm with this method

It happened to me too, the only way is to flash a stock based rom through flashtool, then flash cm11 and then cm12. I suggest you to flash CrystalPA though and wait for a more stable cm12 release. CrystalPA is just the smoothest 4.4.4 rom out there, especially if you love mobile gaming, it has the best ram management!
Dear Members,
I am new to XDA and my problem brought me here to discuss with you guys.
Few Days ago I tried to update my Xperia Sp ROM from Jelly Bean 4.3 to Lollipop 5.1.1. While updating and installing Rom from SD card I rebooted my device that didn't start again.
Current Situation:
Device doesn't turn ON.
Power + Volume up Key-->Blue Light (Blinks) [ Not connected to PC]
Power + Volume dwn Key-->Green Light (Blinks) [ Not connected to PC]
While connected to PC, Green status Light continuously Remains ON, Flashtool(Emma) detects the device and displays message "Locked Phone Detected". Flashtool Correctly Displays device information but in faint colors with cross sign.
Using back hole power off button (pressed for 10secs) then pressing Vol up for 10secs and connecting with PC, PC detects the device.
Before Writing this thread I have tried all possible ways by following the methods and suggestions provided on this platform but couldn't solve the issue. Please guide me to solve this issue.
Thank you all in advance for your precious time.
Regards
Your bootloader seems locked(as emma suggests). If sony pc companion repair option doesn't work for you then I don't know... Maybe you hard bricked it but that's quite unlikely.
Before you flash a custom rom,you need to have a unlocked bootloader first. It's not bricked,you just need to unlock bootloader and then you can flash any custom rom you want.

Yup, Thanks for your reply
Emma shows Device is Locked and PC Companion neither recognizes the device nor proceeds the software repair.

Yes. The method I followed to install custom ROM was without unlocking the bootloader.
Could you please suggest me the way how to do that..
Thanks for your reply
Power off the phone and try connecting usb while pressing volume down. pc companion should detect it. then try repairing. (If not something's very wrong)
For unlocking bootloader see this: unlocking bootloader
If you unlock it, flash twrp.img with fastboot. in the thread above there is a fastboot package. command is: fastboot.exe devices (if detected then) fastboot.exe flash boot path/to/twrp.img
and then via twrp flash ROM.
