you don't need to turn on unknown sources. pull out the battery, put it in, don't turn on the phone, in flashtool click on flash-> choose the file you want to flash, pc will tell you that you need to hold back button and conect the phone. do it

Well u stuck right? Use SEUS to restore 2.1, root back, install back xrecovery installer,do full wipe (must do this for once), flash GDX13, reboot, touch ur screen during sony ericsson logo appear, CWM will appear, flash GDX21, complete. GUD LUCK
-If u want, unlocked bootloader and flash alfs kernel v5. don forget to flash update file in cwm

Thanks but I can´t connect phone in SEUS. When it show me how to connect it I do it. But then my device manager shows that i connect Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change for USB Mass Storage Device and there is error that device can´t turn on

There may be a simple solution,as you said it stops booting after flashing GDX.did you try a full wipe after flashing the rom?did you flashed it with CWM or xRec?

It stops before GDX and I flashed it with xRecovery. Still nothing, i still have only SE logo.....

You must install GingerDX with CWM Recovery. Only v013 and older can be installed with xRecovery

But how if I can´t instal CWM now?

You must reinstall stock firmware with FlashTool, SEUS or PC Companion first

I know, I already tried it. Flashtool want Unknown sources and Debugging on, but I can´t turn it on because I can´t turn on phone. SEUS can´t find my phone, in Device manager X8 looks like Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change to USB Mass Storage Device. And there is error because the device can´t be turned on. I tried it also through PCC. I tried repair it. But it can´t download software and I don´t know why.

FlashTool don't need Unknown sources and USB debugging to be turned on. It is only info what you need to do after flashing when phone boots up.
Do you have flash drivers installed?
Try to turn off your antivirus if you have it installed.
Can you try reinstall it on another computer?

I posted log from Flashtool here before.Here it is once again.....
01/005/2012 22:05:57 - ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode

I get the same message but the flash is successful. If you look a few lines up in the message it probably says that the file was flashed and that you should unplug the phone and restart it.

[Q] Boot loop, no usb debug, no cmw

Hi all! like most I have joined with a problem
I Have an xperia SP-C5303
I successfully rooted the device with the Towelroot app, Then used the sony mobile flasher by Androxyde to flash cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my phone. This was all working fine.
I used CMW to install an update downloaded through cyanogenmod. When I rebooted the device it was stuck in a bootloop. The device connects top the computer in flash mode, but will not accept a flash because somehow "USB Debugging" is not enabled. It was obviously enabled before because I had already flashed the device.
ADB drivers are installed but to be honest Im a bit lost now. Does anyone have any ideas how to turn on usb debugging so that I can flash my phone again?
Korbey
I can connect to sony mobile flasher in flash mode but flashing fails at the end with the program saying "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" how can I activate these when in a boot loop?

I would like to know if your Xperia SP has its bootloader unlocked?
The error most likely appear because you have no drivers for Xperia SP. Yes you might said that you installed it already but let's try again. Navigate to the Flashtool installation directory, which is C:\Flashtool by default. Then go into drivers folder and run the installer therein. Please tick fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers. Scroll down a bit and find Common drivers for Viskan board. Tick that as well and continue the driver installation.
After everything is completed. Close Flashtool and open in again (in case you've disabled UAC, please run Flashtool as an administrator). Then retry to flash a stock ROM's .ftf file.

Xperia SP almost dead after flashing. Need help.

I flashed my Xperia SP with from Jellybeam to CM13 rom. I didn't create any backup, wiped clean everything including cache using twrp recovery. While the setup installed CM13 without any error but I downloaded the wrong gapps and the setup didn't accept those. So I chose to reboot the cell and since then it just stopped responding. Although it is showing the green led while plugged in via USB, it won't start in neither fastboot nor recovery mode.
I'm stuck here and have no idea what to do.
I tried installing PC companion, flashtools, SP flashtools, emma, everything. None of these detect my cell. I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit) and am at a dead end.
Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:
I managed to flash it with errors and now it's stuck in a SONY logo bootloop. Its starts, shows SONY logo for a while and then turns off again. Again it's not getting recognised by any flash tool, sony companion etc.
Help please.

Installed the driver and flashed it with a rom but it's still stuck on the SONY logo. One more thing, It's bootloader wasn't unlocked when I messed up at the beginning. What can I do to save my phone?

Whether I try to flash it or unlock, phone boots up before the process is completed. I'm completely stumped here.

Hi! Still have the problem? I faced the same two days ago when I tried to change the on on my SP. But finally I could save the Phone by searching a bit on the net. Pls tell me if matter is still on and I try to translate the steps to english.

Yes, still stuck there. Can't flash it because phone boots mid-process and flashing aborts. Please help me out here.

Hey!
Sad to hear, but maybe (I hope) this method will help you. Basically what you will get is an original Xperia SP with 4.1 android as it came from the factory.
You will need:
1. Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" version 0.9.18.6. Don't know if newer version came or better. You can find it here in forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
2. The basic ROM "12.0.A.2.254".
The method that helped me:
SP turned off. Cable not connected.
Start Sony Mobile Flasher (Flashtool) , give administrator rights.
Top left cornet click on the bolt and choose flashmode, then in firmware selector you can find and select the downloaded ROMs and kernels. Choose the official 4.1 (12.0.A.2.254). Click falsh so it starts to proceed.
Then a windows appears called "wait for flashmode".
Now. Grab your turned off SP press volume down and connect the usb to pc. Keep holding volume down button till flashtool starts to upload the system. (Hopefully it will be fast enough, and phone will not turn on. For me it was)
After flashtool is finished you will see:
09:50:53 - INFO - Flashing finished.
09:50:53 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
09:50:53 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
09:50:54 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
Unplug and start the SP
If everything went as planned you have your phone back with stock 4.1 and 12.0.A.2.254 kernel.

Thanks a lot brother. At first it didn't work when I flashed it with the latest version of Flasher. Then I installed the exact version you mentioned (0.9.18.6) and phone didn't boot during the flashing and now it's back to normal with the default 4.1 stock.
Thanks a bunch, you're a life saver for me. :highfive:

Flashtool stuck at checking header (Xperia TX LT29i)

Just as the title said I tried to flash stock firmware to my xperia tx but it stuck at checking header. I guess my phone was soft bricked while I tried to install a custom rom. I failed to install it but then when I reboot it, my phone couldn't boot to the recovery. Now when I try to turn it on it'll just show the sony logo and then it goes blank.
Then I tried flashtool i've already downloaded the firmware and driver. But everytime I tried to flash it, it stuck at checking header. At first I tried to wait for it because I don't know how long it takes (newbie here). But i've waited for an hour and still nothing happened... please someone help me
