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).

The thread was announced today only. Be patient. We all are waiting to use lollipop. Like i said, give the developer some time.

Lollipop
is this file fully work or Zr
if i instal it....?

@Puneetsaini
You shouldn't install it until you've read up on how to flash using fastboot, and how to get yourself out of a bootloop/soft brick. If you already know all that, my apologies. Once you've done that, go ahead and flash it at your own risk; Lollipop changes a whole bunch of stuff, so be prepared for unforeseen problems. Also, the dev has said that it doesn't work on all ZR's. I don't know what this means, or which ones it will work on, so again, AT YOUR OWN RISK.
@xenius9
The things that need to be added to System Image, should we just take those from the .283 stock? Z or ZR? Or is there no need to do anything? I don't think I'll have time to test this any time soon, but I'd like to know what to do when I get around to it. It's too bad you can't work on it, but if you could tell us the basic steps so we can figure out the rest, that'd be awesome.

Lollipop
its working well..
thnx alot...
bt i little Bug here..when we call anywhere screen light off till the call is not ened..proximaty senser doesnt work good...

That's probably because of the broken sensors.conf; try replacing it with the one from stock and reflashing.
Can't wait to try this myself! [emoji16]

Oops, forgot it was an IMG. Leave it alone then, unpacking/repacking those things seem to be complicated, will do more research later.
EDIT: Compared the sensors.conf in the fix zip to the stock - turns out they're exactly the same.
As long as you've flashed the Lollipop_fix_full.zip it SHOULD work. If not... I don't have a clue.

you need to look up that file in your stock rom, or if your're on a custom rom, jus extract the zip and look for it.. If on stock rom, look for the file using root explorer. Jus replace the stuff..

Help me reflash my Sony Xperia SP back to Stock!!!

Hey guys,
I have the same problem with my phone by flashing stryflex v3.6 rom but the problem is i cant swipe the lockscreen up or even access recovery stuck with a softbricked device, cant even access recovery or even flash it back to normal by using flashtool. Can someone give us help on this? so we can put it back to stock and maybe install a custom sony rom. It is using TWRP Recovery which cannot be accessed.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit Professional and I cant find Flashtool v0.9.18.5 on the official website.
Help me what have I done wrong here.

Download Flashtool v0.9.18.6 from official site.
Option 1: Flash stock.
or,
Option 2: Flash tangerine-7.1.elf via 'fastboot mode' to directly get TWRP, then flash any ROM you want.
Hit Thanks if I helped

The problem is i can't access USB debugging on this phone due to the fact that im stuck with this rom which can't be removed with the touchscreen problem where i can't swipe up at the lockscreen or use the phone at all. At the moment im using the Sony Xperia E3 until i can get the xperia sp fixed.
Thanks, Nandan

You don't need to access USB debugging. Just turn off the phone by pressing the button on the back.
Then follow what I said in post#2

Hi there,
So without usb debugging can i still access fastboot mode or not?
If I flash tangerine kernel does it contain the kernel and the recovery or is it just kernel?
Thanks Nandan

Hiya Nandan.
I was in the same boat as you but I had no rom installed no software at all so I could not boot the phone up to enable USB debugging and unknown sources. If you do what I did it will hopefully rectify your problem.
Step 1. Download a kernel with twrp embedded im sure I used dooms kernel as far as I remember. There are many others just do a simple google of xperia sp kernel with recovery.
Step 2 . take phone case off the back hold button in on lower bottom for 10 seconds you will get 3 vibratations . good leave it at that.
Step 4 . open flashtool let it load completely. Now plug USB into your phone also have it into your PC ! Whilst plugging in hold down volume button to enter flashmode your phone should be green . hold up for fast boot mode which is blue either too let's you flash a kernel but fast boot mode requires "elf" kernel.
Step 5. Locate kernel install and then boot phone up whilst press the volume up button as its booting recovery mode will be accessed now flash rom of your choice or use Sony PC suite to go back to stock. Make sure you have stock kernel and bootloader locked or elsee it won't let you..
I hope this helps you out in someway as it did me good luck.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the instruction you have given me, I might try this method a week or two due to coursework. I been trying to get hold with some instructions but turns out the instructions you have given me is more detailed and i could understand what you wrote. I was wondering where i can get the stock kernel since earlier i tried using flashtool to flash the original rom which is vodafone locked showed some errors in the process. instead of using the first step to flash twrp, can i flash clockworkmod recovery and then install custom sony rom like for e.g. archxperia?
Thanks Nandan

If I was you I would just stick with doom kernel for now at least that way you can access twrp and sort your phone out. some very good roms available to install as soon as you access twrp. my steps are 1 to 4 I think I got distracted whilst putting the steps or I can't count lol.

Hi Chris,
So you want me to install Doomkernel first which has the kernel and recovery built in? By flashing it through flashtool either using fastboot mode or flashmode to flash the kernel. Then do I flash any rom I like or would you recommend me a rom to use? Would this also fix to try and access recovery? I did my research that it contains multiple recoveries such CWM, Philz Touch and TWRP. So lets say if I flash a custom sony rom such as archxperia or put it back to stock, will it also fix the unresponsive touch issue i have been getting on my phone or is this a common issue for the xperia sp? My bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks Nandan

Hey Chris,
I flashed it through flashtool the kernel which turns out it is going on a bootloop and cannot access recovery at all. It gets stuck at doomkernel logo and reboots continously. Can you help me out due to the bootloop issue and cannot access recovery. I tried holding volume up button to access recovery it wouldn't let me, now im stuck with a bootloop and it looks like its softbricked.
Thanks Nandan
Update to Everyone I fixed my phone following Chris's method or you can use Zenith's method alternatively instead, but i flashed doomkernel which fixed my phone, I first flashed one of the custom 4.3 roms then i decided to flash TWRP recovery then I flashed SlimRom 5.1.1 Sabermod with Quickboot which im using as a daily driver. If anyone was in my situation earlier on then use the methods provided by Chris or Zenith. By the way don't flash stryflex v3.6 because you might not able to access recovery or you might end up with a soft bricked phone so instead use stryflex v3.7 instead which is stable and also allowed me to access recovery.

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)
