[Solved][Request] Looking for Orange Poland stock firmware Xperia T

Hello,
I bought Xperia T from an eshop, yesterday it arrived. It was SIM locked to Orange Poland firmware. Since I didn't want to wait for returning the phone to shop and back, I tried to flash the new generic firmware to fix this problem. It didn't work, but in the end that's not the biggest issue I have. Only after I flashed the new firmware, I checked for locked bootloader. It's locked, so that's reason for me to return this device . I can do that no problem within 2 weeks (according to EU law), but device needs to be in original state.
I backed up the original firmware before flashing a new one, but flash tool does not work with my backup, so I cannot restore the original firmware. Does anyone know where I could find Xperia T LT30p_7.0.A.3.195_Orange Poland firmware? I tried searching, but no success...
Thanks for any help!

Solved, my backup (created as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32978279&postcount=2) worked finally, when I started flashtool, proceeded to flash firmware backup and only connected phone when it asked. Weird, but it solved my problem

Updating your flashtool to the latest version should fix the problem :highfive:
I've faced that problem before

Yep that did the trick. Thank both of you. I cant post on the original thread I linked, but I was going to reply to him to update his info on making sure every1 uses the latest flashtool so others don't have the same issue, but I can't post a reply there, (guessing because Im new to posting, even though I been on this forum awhile.)
Many Thanks.

dear friend i have the same problem. however i have found the solution on my own risk! i would like to share the solution that worked for me and i am sure that will work for you as well. just go to C:\Users\Milan\.flashTool\firmwares there you will find some files or folders. just delete them. after deleting those files, just switch off your phone(without connecting USB cable to it) then hold volume down button and same time connect usb cable. flashtool shows that you have connected your phone in flashmode. thats it! leave your phone aside and select the file you wish to flash. relax! everything will be done automatically.
furthemore, it may take some time to see your phone in home screen so just wait for 5minutes. then you will see that you have successfully flashed your firmware. for more, write to me @ [email protected]

как мне решить эту проблему?

Sony xperia me dual d2302 I was installed Expedia z3style custom ROM now I want to reflash my official firmware when I want to flash .Flash tool says
ERROR : Cannot open bundle flashing process canceled

Had the same error during my attempts to flash Xperia SO-02K firmware which I needed to flash for DRM keys backup. Tried Flashtool v0.9.18.6 and v0.9.15 for windows, both were able to read it, but threw "root : this bundle is not valid" and "Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled" errors during flashing (v0.9.34 and v0.9.28 didn't even recognize the firmware). Tried four different versions of the firmware and ultimately used newflasher v20 instead (latest version failed).

Use Sony PCC to build the ftf with flashtool. Or makes sure the check sum is correct from where ever you got your ftf

Use flashtool version 0.9.13.0 for ZR
install driver version 1.5 for lagan board, fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers

help please!

I installed a rom kitkat on my xperia sp, he's with bootloader locked, (LBL), I would like to know the step-by-step procedure to re-stock ROM, or if there is any way to unlock the bootloader on this version to install the UBL lollipop if possible also the pass-by-step?
They write in a simple way because I speak Portuguese-BR, and I do not quite understand.
I used the google translator excuses!​

help me, what do I do now?

Make sure to install the correct drivers and uncheck the reset factory in the flashing process

did you install the appropriate drivers which can be seen in the drivers folder within the flashtool folder in c drive? There u must install 3 of them (Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers, Common drivers Viskan board)

[HELP ASAP] Possibly soft-bricked phone, and flashmode won't work.

Hi there.
I'm using a Sony Xperia SP C5306. After attempting to install XperianZe OTA V3.0.5 (and Gapps), I find my phone stuck on the Sony Logo. It doesn't move. So, I do the sensible thing; I download a stock FTF (C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU.ftf) and Flashtool, and attempt to install the stock ROM. But here's my problem; I can't get it to stay in Flashmode.
When plugging in my cable, I hold the VOL down button and the light goes green. Great! So the Flashtool starts flashing the FTF and my phone's green light goes out immediately. But it keeps flashing for a moment. And then the tool tells me suddenly that the phone has been disconnected. The phone goes to charge and sticks at the Sony logo again. This happens every single time.
TL;DR - My phone goes from flashmode straight to USB charge and I can't flash it to fix my softbrick.
If it's any help, my phone has a Locked Bootloader, and cannot be unlocked.

Update: The phone now stays on the Sony logo for about a minute or two and then completely shuts off automatically.
Update 2: The phone, while connected via USB flips between USB mode and Flash mode.

Bump! Really need to fix this ASAP.

Turns out I flashed the wrong ROM. I flashed the v3.0.5 update before I flashed the actual ROM, and now I'm ****ed. Does anybody know of a way to fix this??? Please, I really need to fix this before I get in trouble.

You might want to try using another USB cable first. Common problems like these are because of the USB cable of the stock one that we have

Nope. Whilst trying a new cable, it does the same thing; I start the flash, wait for it to ask me to connect my phone, and then I do. I start it up in flash mode, and when it's detected, the green light turns off immediately, and the flashing process very quickly stops. My phone restarts and goes to the Sony logo, with a red light to show it's charging. After a minute, it will go back to Flashmode. And after a minute of flashmode, it goes back to charging at the Sony logo.

Here's the log from one of my latest attempts to flash my device.

Bump!!!

Bump again. I really need this fixed. C'mon guys, please???
Also I feel like I'm kind of looking annoying at this point but hey.

Bumping stuff won't help you nor anyone. If no one have the idea on how to solve your issue, how can they post something useful in this very thread?
Since your problem is very common, I strongly suggest digging into the threads that is very similar to yours, and hopefully you will find something that would actually solve your problem.
My final advise; try to connect the device only on flashmode without doing any single thing. Inspect if the device could stay on flashmode for an extended period of time.
To do this, just connect the phone to flashmode, without even opening the flashtool. If the device is able to stay on flashmode on an extended period of time, try to proceed with flashing the stock ROM..
If the issue suddenly comes back, then redo the same thing, but now with official Sony's Xperia Companion (formerly PC companion) and flash the stock ROM using that tool instead.
Uh oh, try to put your device on a flat static surface and avoid touching the USB cable at all costs to avoid interruptions
Have a good day

Alright, everyone; this is what saved my life.
Xperia Companion managed to repair my phone in just a few minutes even though I couldn't do it myself. For some reason, it managed to make it stay on Flashmode for as long as it was needed. If anyone is having the same problem as I was, I can't stress this enough; use. Xperia. Companion.
I was annoying, but thank you so much, TechnoSparks. I really appreciate the link to that program. I don't know why I didn't find it before, though.

Good to know that it finally solved your issue, and you're welcome!
Since it worked for you, now it seems a lot more clear to me that it is your ftf to blame. In other words, it could be that your ftf is corrupted or invalid in some sense.. I would suggest for you in the future to download firmwares by using the Xperifirm, bundled along with the Flashtool. You can open such thing by hitting the XF button on the Flashtool's main toolbar. The great thing with this is that the ftf is automatically unpacked and ready to be flashed by flashtool without you having to do additional steps like moving the ftf files and such.
I personally like to use Flashtool over Xperia companion, but that is the choice for anyone themselves
You might not find Xperia companion before because of its name.. Its name was revised twice as of now, first being Sony Updater Software (SUS), then PC Companion (PCC) and now Xperia Companion (XC?). During the era of which the XSP is released, the name of such tool was PC Companion. I wasn't aware when did Sony renamed it to Xperia Companion though..
Have fun with your newly revived device!

Actually, the ROM I was trying to flash was indeed downloaded through Xperifirm. I downloaded the Telcel ROM, seeing as how that's my provider.

Thanks! I am. I decided to try again with a different, very similar ROM; Z3EXperienceSP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-z3-experiencesp-t3122830 . It worked alright, but for some reason the GPS was very messed up. It wouldn't move most of the time, requiring me to constantly turn it off and back on in order to do what I installed the ROM for (play Pokémon GO). So instead, I decided to go with as standard of an LBL ROM I could find; something so beautifully normal that for sure, it shouldn't have any problems, right? Standard Cyanogenmod 12. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/xperiasp-locked-bootloader-lbl-t2947194 .
Turns out for some reason CM12 doesn't detect my SIM card. But eh, I'll just find another ROM I can install. For now, I'm reverting back to 4.3 and taking my phone to a help center for my provider, to see if maybe they can remove the SIM lock. If they can, I'll remove the Bootloader Lock and say "**** it", before just installing whatever ROM I fancy at the moment. Probably gonna dual-boot it if I can, with stock ROM.
