I am in an awkward situation.
xperia z, 4.2.2 244 rooted stock rom, bootloader locked, usb debug mode off, recovery not installed.
I accidentally corrupted build.prop and the phone bricked.
I cannot use flashtool to flash the stock rom back because usb debug mode is off.
I cannot use Sony update service Pro to force update because it said that "your phone already has the latest available software installed".
I cannot use PC Companion to repair because the software said that "Sony update engine doesn't have software available for your phone".
Please help.

You can use Flashtool to flash stock rom, doesn't matter if usb debug mode is on or off (only needed to install recovery or to root)
Download stock rom, install flashtool + drivers and follow screen instructions.. Good Luck! :good:
J have the same problem, yesterday j installed cyanogenmod, now xperia Z was on SONY logo and j can't flash original firmware on flashtool, j can only flash original kernel, but is still on sony logo
SUS says that hasn't new firmware for my phone.
What can j do ????
Thanks in advance

yes, you are right. Yesterday I check everything on the right panel and it does not work. Today I leave all option unchecked and flash properly. Many thanks anyway.

Just follow the flashtool instruction and re-flash the stock rom first, everything will return to unroot stated. Reroot then and try again.

The above didn't work for me because I received error based on my type of phone.
This guide however did help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
I had to reboot windows to a settings to enable unsigned drivers. Installed Flashtool and it's drivers,
First unlocked the bootloader(BLU button, got the IMEI, used the sony form (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions))
Then I downloaded the stock sony xperia z ftf image, placed it in Flashtool's firmware folder, then flashed it (flash device > flash mode).
Now my phone's working again.

If you still can enter custom recovery, you only need flash rom and (with) suitable kernel.
If not, you need Flashtool.
- make sure you have the newest version of flashtool and driver
- connect your phone to pc.
- when computer show error about usb not recognized, go to computer management - device manager. Find something in universal serial bus controller list that have yellow triangle and exclamation mark. right click and remove it
- disconnect your phone then reboot your pc
- install flashtool and driver, reboot pc again
- connect your phone to pc. Now, it should detect your phone.
- do flashing procedure

Hi all, i am trying to flash standard firmware on my xperia z from PAC rom, i downloaded a firmware package and went to flash it through flash tool. When it asked me to put the phone into flashmode i powered down the device held volume down and plugged in the USB, but no green light or any sign that the phone connected into flashmode. So then i thought ok it may be the kernal, so downloaded another kernel proceded to put the phone into Fastboot mode and nothing -_-
Would really like to go back to standard firmware, but being unable to connect the phone to either Fastboot or Flashmode i dont see what i can do?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. :good:
Bump
Too me all seems fine?
Too me all seems fine?
i can enter fastboot using the ADB command, but it will not go into it when i hold volume up + plug in USB?
Well I explain you my problem.
Since I installed last saturday the last 4.3 ROM thanks to Doomlord, I noticed my phone doesn´t charge while in power off, it just doesn´t respond to the cable charger, I tried with several cables, wall chargers, via PC,... with no result, also looking for a solution I also noticed it doesn´t also respond to comands with volume buttons so it can not boot to flashmode and fastboot using the normal way.
booting to flashmode or Flashmode is not an issue as I found a way of doing it actually a couple of them, I will explain them just in case somebody is in a similar problem than me...
Via software Using flashtool (flash/fastboot) the aplication can force the phone to boot in fastboot via adb, using PCcompanion, (flash/repair) when it checks the phone after downlodaing the firmware it forces the phone to reboot in flashmode (in my case it doesn´t it just powers off and gets stucked but just pressing the power button it does, once booted in flashmode you can open flashtool and flash the desired ROM)
Via Hardware As I said it doesn´t respond when I plug in the cable but with the cable connected to the computer and pressing volume UP/down and power until it vibrates it will boot to flashmode or fastboot.
Now lets go back to my main problem...
I have being doing several things in order to solve it with no luck...
1º flash .278 kernel with recovery thanks to sj8023ld
2º Downgrade to .145 Xperiment custom ROM
3º Downgrade to .141 oficial using flashtool (result bootloader allowed: no" when it was unlocked before)
4º Flash again .141 with flashtool (bootloader again unlocked)
5º relock bootloader and flash with PCcompanion (flash/repair)
6ºFlash .145 oficial using Flashtool
7º Unlock bootloader, Root (easyrooting toolkit Doomlord) and CWM V9 by davidmarco.
Now I am again in 4.3 leaked with root and .278 kernel
After doing all this I couldn´t find a solution, Do you know guys if I can do anything else?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance
