Flashtool: 'Error flashing. Aborted' with no other error message.

Hi everyone.
I'm really confused about this. I'm trying to downgrade the firmware on my Z3c to then go on and root but I'm stuck at the very beginning.
I installed Flashtool and the drivers (had to deactivate driver signature verification for them to install correctly, but now all of them are installed). I installed the Sony PC companion with the support zone addon (not sure it makes a difference).
I downloaded the firmware from 2 different sources.
Developer options and usb debugging are on.
I charged the phone.
I tried with the latest Flashtool version anb the previous one.
But all the times I get the following error message. It basically starts printing out stuff and after a few seconds it says error, aborted. There is no other error message and this really drives me crazy because I have no idea what's wrong. Searching online results in people asking for help when there is at least another error message.
In this case there is nothing.
In the log below, note the time for every message. In the phone nothing changed, it still boots up normally with the 5.1.1 Sony firmware.
I even tried to change the usb cable but it's always the same.
It would be great if some of you were able to pinpoint the source of this problem. I've had and loved this phone for the last few months and I finally decided to root it, but being stuck at the very beginning I'm kind of disappointed at the process.
Thanks

Which version of flashtool are you running? I have been unable to flash with version 0.9.18.6 or above
You might want to download the old version of flashtool and try again, see if it works on 0.9.18.5. If you are unable to find it I might still have it on my PC.

You know this is the Z3 compact thread?
I am just wondering why you are trying to flash firmware for an Xperia C
I would start from the beginning and go through this great guide here. Once you have a copy of your TA partition and your bootloader unlocked, try and flash again.

I am facing errors in flashing z3 are there solutions to flashtool errors win 10 32bit

Xperia Z1 (C6902) is soft brick!!!

My xperia Z1 (C6902) is soft bricked.
I flashed MIUI7 (4.4.4) via twrp but i lost recovery. I was rooted with usb debugging on and tried different methods to install recovery (fastboot, miui updater, twrp manager app) but unable so, i tried to revert back in stock rom by flashing stock firmware 14.3.A.0.757 via flashtool but stuck into flashing data message.
Waited for more than an hour and thirty minutes but nothing happening. After removing usb and tried to on, it appears SONY logo than following message.
"this software update failed. make sure your phone is connected to computer and try again".
Did i missed something or i am not doing correctly??
Please help me!!!

This is my log, I cant do anything :c help please. I got all drivers and flashed ealier in the day, my phone is on bootloop i am in panic, I just don't know what to do. Please help me.

Don't beee paniccc
Just try another file of FTF and try older version flashtool and make restart for pc
And better to try on Windows 7 not 10 if you have 10

It is weird cause I was flashing just right before, and actually I can't even anymore use some fastboot commands, I can't flash any new boots or recoveries, I think my phone is totally bricked., and yes I tried other FTFs
The solution to make my phone power up again was to boot cyanogen's img, the only one that works(the oficial) but I don't have gapps and I can't flash em, I have nothing here. The feeling is that my phone is totally bricked.

And I forgot to mention that my SIM is also not working. edit my life is saved guys, I installed older version of flashtool and it flashed normally
ok i am so happy now :>

Wellll that's great
In my opinion try to use official application from Sony pc companion
It's help you to flash last Version of software on your device

i got the same problem with my friend's z1 yesterday and i upgrade the flashtool to (v0.9.19.10) and it's worked for me
you have the (0.9.19.8) installed so all u have to do is download this file here
http://www.flashtool.net/patch/windows/x10flasher.jar
go to flash tool default instlation folder ( c:\flashtool) and replace the old (x10flasher.jar) with the one you download from above and run flash tool again and try to flash
hope it's work for you
when flashing process reach flashin (system.sin) the loading bar will reach like 95% and stop don't worry it's well take long time here

try dwlding another FTF and reinstal flashtool with drivers

Seems like a ftf issues for me. Download your region firmware and create a new ftf properly, and then do a clean flash.

I had to reload each of the Xperia Z3 + E6533 fw and tried each version FlashTool (older to newest) but still no flash is on your phone. Win or defective in us? Driver FlashBoot Flash modd still full! .Dien His voice is now also available in Backup TWRP and running Android 6.0.1 version and have root 32.2.A.5.11 were unlocked bootloader, and with the full backing DRM key. , But can not flash through FlashTool. Sad! .Mong Help his brother.! Thanks .....

[Xperia Z] Flash Failure while trying to flash a stock FTF

Hi!
I have a big problem with my phone. I tried to restore a TWRP backup but it failed to complete.
Error occured few seconds after restoring (can't tell what part of the backup was successfuly restored, TA, SYSTEM, KERNEL...).
Now I cannot flash any FTF file. My phone starts with SONY logo but doesn't go further. Screen goes black (backlight) during few seconds and then automatically reboots.
I tried to flash different FTF with different Flashtool but no luck, always got the same error in flashtool :

Notice that debug mode is off (I guess) and my phone is locked (probably during the restore of my uncomplete backup)
Please advise me on how to make my phone start again (find a way to flash stock FTF or TWRP so I can restore another backup, ...)
Thanks a lot.

Notice that debug mode is off (I guess) and my phone is locked (probably during the restore of my uncomplete backup)
Please advise me on how to make my phone start again (find a way to flash stock FTF or TWRP so I can restore another backup, ...)
Thanks a lot.

Hi!
After trying different flashtool versions, different adb and fastboot drivers, multiple ROMs, I have finally found the right combo (in my case) :
- installed drivers from flashtool 0.9.13 (but didn't use flashtool since it always failed to write ta, kernel or system partitions...)
- installed adb and fastboot 1.4.3
- used xflasher(https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634)
- flashed ROM 10.6.A.0.454 Generic UK (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-6-0-454-t3127499) in this order (1 xflasher.bat per file) :
1 - boot delivery
2 - partition-image.sin
3 - amss_fs_1.sin
4 - amss_fs_2.sin
5 - amss_fs_3.sin
6 - cache.sin
7 - elabel-C6603-row_201310171741.1_10.6.A.0.454.sin
8 - rpm.sin
9 - system.sin
10 - userdata.sin
11 - kernel.sin
I didn't flash fotakernel.sin (not really important since I was able to boot, root the phone, install dual recovery and restore a full backup from TWRP, including FOTAKernel)
Then, my phone started to boot and went over the SONY logo screen
Thanks to all the contributors on XDA. I spent almost 3 days to browse this forum in order to find the right way to get my phone back to life.

VID and PID
How did you get VID and PID of your phone? When I started xflasher.exe it created xflasher.bat and inside is written VID:0FCE and PID:ADDE, but when I try to put this manual on the console I get this: No usb device with vid:0x0fce pid:0xadde !
Help me find my VID and PID pls.

Plz plz plz
