Hello guys. Need help here.
I have D5833 and want to upgrade/root my phone. Downloaded required ftf file, installed latest flashtool on 32bit win7 laptop, and also latest java. Ofc all necessary drivers are installed and xperia companion.
Put the ftf file in /.firmwares folder but in flashtool it showed nothing. Tried another ftf but nothing. I've also tried uninstalled and reinstalled flashtool and still nothing.
I've tried searching the forum and also googling much for the answer but no solution found.
What did I miss here?
Any reply and any help is much appreciated.

Hi!
The Firmwares folder is located in the C:\Users\yourusernamehere\.flasthtool\firmwares. Have you put it there? If Yes and its still not detected, try using an older version of Flashtool ( 0.9.11 ) works well.
Good luck!
Ok, so older version of flashtool really does works. Downloaded and used 0.9.18.6.
Something with the latest version, huh?
Thanks for the reply
you can try set the link manually

Hello Before I say anything I have searched in the forum and did not found any help with my problem though others had the same and got it resolved
well Here is the problem
I tried to isntal MiniXD or how ever you call the room that everyone uses
but the problem here is that when I did the mobile phone would not boot up
so I have downloaded the SEUS as I have seen in these forums but still it can't find my mobile it tells me to do something from inside the android system but the funny part is that I can't access the system so I can't do what it ask to format my mobile phone.
So What I have to do? I am stuck in the Boot up screen sayin "Sony Ericson" and can't do anything
You may download stock ROM in .ftf format and flash it using FlashTool (search for any B.Jay's post and look at his signature - there's a link to mediafire folder). And I'm a little bit surprise that SEUS doesn't recognize Your mobile, cause You pick it by yourself. Maybe You're talking about Pc Companion?
Anyway - this problem is popular so I'm sure You will find the answer.

Ohh you are right, can you guide me where is that SEUS coz I can't find it in their website ?
ftp://ftp.szybkidownload.pl/Mobilne...rvice_2_7/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.11.10.exe
I have downloaded the software on that link, and its the program I need I guess but it tells me it fails to connect, I have Interent connection as you can see hence I can post here, lol any idea?
Cause it's old version. Check that one that I send as PM.
OR, as previously suggested ...
Click the link in my signature and find the "Sony Ericsson" folder.
Download the 2.1.1.C.0.0 Stock ROM Flashtool image.
Unpack to get to the .ftf
Download the Unbrick .txt file.
If need be download Flashtool from my Flashtool folder
Open the txt file and follow instructions to flash back to Stock by Flashtool

Thanks a lot, mate!! :highfive: this is the prob i was experiencing fr a long time. Now I know why :victory:
could you please create a FTF of the 284 with chargemon files?
I don't have access to windows and hence cannot install PC companion.
Edit----
Made the FTF myself.
Thanks for the tip though!!

ok. i'll try to give you the link by tomorrow
After installing the FTF from XDA i updated the phone from PC and it updated successfully. But still the phone keeps turning on when charging in OFF mode. Is there a file that can be replaced manually????
i flashed with flashtool and i got same problem with you. then I flash with PCC, my phone can be turned off while charging.

that is what i mentioned after flashing from flashtool i flashed the rom through sony PCC and still the issue is not fixed for me for some odd reason.
after the download finished PC companion creashed. so I made an ftf and flashed it using flashtool. but still the problem persists :crying: dunno how to resolve it.
guyz i don't know what is it you are not doing right.
I am just gonna upload my ftf for you.:angel:
It worked for me and it should work for you too

No Problem with the FTF I created. I can upload it once I reach home. Its on my laptop.
@dhiman33 are you using a 32 bits pc? I saw the same problem when I used a 32 bits pc but no problem on my 64 bits work computer or on my 64 bits Ubuntu laptop. Also if you have unlocked Bootloader, the PCC won't be able to flash the rom but the files will be downloaded and you can use Flashtool to create a FTF for yourself.
Flashtool works so much better on my Ubuntu system. Its easy, no need of finding or installing drivers.. lol!!

Hey Folks,
Yesterday I came accross a new firmware for my C5303 (Stock) Rom. Problem was, something went fishy on my computer and the upgrade process went south midways.
Probelm being: I have neither rooted, nor unlocked the bootloader.
Is there a way to unbrick? Unfortunatelly I have learned, that appart from other SONY devices, the SP is not so peachy when it comes to custom roms.
Current state:
The device is not recogniced by the flash tool of Sony, or the suite.
Could someone point fingers where to look for a solution?
You will have to flash an FTF file using "flashtool".
A search on this forum will surely point you in the right direction.
There are already plenty of guides.
Good luck!

I bricked mine yesterday at 11 pm,couldnt sleep right cause of the panic. xD
My C5303 has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER too,and I was stuck at the SONY logo.
I downloaded Flashtool.
I installed Flashtool.
This procedure is neccessary in order to install fastboot/flashmode/adb drivers.If you already did it,skip it.
If ur on windows 8,move ur mouse coursor to top right of the screen,a toolbar will appear.
Then click SETTINGS.Then click CHANGE PC SETTINGS.When it opens,select UPDATE & RECOVERY.Select RECOVERY.Select ADVANCED STARTUP.When it reboots,you will see a blue background and an option,i think it is TROUBLESHOOT,anyways,look for DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION.But as I remember,i was put with a choice of selecting a number,and i pressed 7-DISABLE DRIVER VERIFICATION.
The PC will boot like nothing is changed,but now u can install the drivers.
Go to Flashtool/drivers and open the installation program
Select "Flashmode drivers","fastboot drivers" and "common drivers for Viskan board(these are the ADB drivers ONLY for the Xperia SP)"
The PC will ask you to allow the driver installation,allow all of them.Reboot ur pc again,and connect ur phone in flashmode for the pc to link the flashmode drivers to ur Xperia SP,then u can begin.
Download this firmware FROM THIS LINK
http://www.xperiadownload.cz/phocadownload/userupload/download/2013/SP/C5303_12.1.A.1.205_CE.rar
extract the ftf file with any rar program,then move the .ftf file to the FIRMWARE folder in the directory where flashtool is installed,mine is C:/Flashtool.move the .ftf file into (DRIVE):/Flashtool/firmwares
Open Flashtool,select Flash with Flashmode,wait for the program to say that u can connect ur xperia sp with the PC.To enter Flashmode hold the Volume DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC.
I reccommend using the SONY cable,as i have a feeling it is the best one for these things.
Let Fashtool flash everything,do not touch the device at all until the Flashtool allows you to do so.
Here mate

Thanks for all the answers so far...
I figured, taht in the flashtool the firmware for the device is not listet, although it is in the respektive directory. am I blind, or am I missing something?
It however does offer a X10 installation, what ever that is, when it is at home
Look for an FTF file on this forum.
Make sure you download and flash the correct one!

I have found this source: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/37-sony-xperia-sp-c5303
It is recognised by the flash tool and therefore, I believe it works well... I'll keep you folks postet... FINGERS CROSSED
Okay folks, you can uncross your fingers... Thanks to all of you, the call is back to life!
firstly sorry for my bad English
I wan using flashtool to flash my xperia t with official ftf that i download from internet. But it always came out Error processing of system.sin finished with errors, I have tried three FTFs but all said Error processing of system.sin finished with errors. Now I wonder what's up and what shall i do ..
PS my Xperia T is bootloader unlocked allowed :NO
I had this exact problem today with my xperia V, solved by using flashboot v 18.5 instead of newest. Good luck
Hey zodeg, I'm experiencing the same problem right now. Could you explain this Flashboot v 18.5 thing? googled it but couldn't find anything about it though. Google only threw Flashtool 0.9.18.5 at me but I don't think that it's t he right thing. An upload of what you used there would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Seyron
Try to use older version of Flashtool like 0.9.18.6 (of course download it from flashtool site ). I had this problem too and this solved my problem.

thanks. 0.9.18.6 worked.
0.9.19.10 worked for me once, but then I've tried several other attempts and it failed. strange.

Yeah guys guess what I forgot how i did it and then I googled this topic again, and IT WORKED! I used 0.9.18.5 Sony Mobile Flasher by androxyde. Thank you androxide :laugh:
So the fact that this was the solution really bugs me. Anyway, worked for me and my Xperia LT30p

i successfully launched flashtool the problem is in mozilla firefox plugin i guess. The only problem is my flashtool said No Device registered even if i installed all the drivers correctly. When I'm trying to sync in github it's just stuck on it nothing happens.

look I have windows 7 and I had problems with earlier versions of flashtool, what I recommend is that you make a test on another pc since apparently it is problem of your USB ports, or failing that should see if the USB port your phone works properly.
