It isn't cut off, put the .ftf file (from the ROM version i.e. 2.3.3/2.3.4 etc) in the firmware folder which seems to be on your C:\Flashtool\firmware folder, you don't choose a file

Okay I did that. And i see the firmware now. But shouldnt there be other buttons to the right? Like exculde kernel, baseband etc.

No one can help me out?

So you click on flash (lightning icon)
Select Flashmode
And you don't see the stuff in my screenshot
If no make sure you're running the latest version of flashtool and the update that's at the bottom of the flashtool download page

If all else fails just uninstall and reinstall the program and see what uff that fixes it

That is correct. I dont have the check boxes on the right....
And I also uninstalled it and reinstalled it. But I still dont have the check boxes. This is so strange. I am running Windows 7 by the way.

Try using flashtool to reflash a firmware, it should fix your issue
To go along with the previous post, just use SE Updater, to reflash it back to stock. It has saved me a few times!

how do i flash without cwm?
you don't flash stock firmware with CWM any way.
Suggest you read some of the threads here.
You will need flashtool and the stock ftf file for r800x , or you could use Sony ericsson suite thingy.

Can i flash the tmobile stock on metropcs s4?

Can i flash the tmobile stock odin file on the metro pcs s4? I've read conflicting claims. Some say it works and some say it wont. Just need to clarify before i do it!
Not sure about that. There will be kernel differences and such. Can you tell us why you want to ODIN flash the stock FW instead of flashing a flashable stock FW through recovery?

Thanks for your reply man. the reason why is because i'm stuck at the upgrade encountered an issue screen and can only enter download mode. I've tried downloading the unofficial stock metro file but it fails to download everytime. I've only been able to download the stock tmobile.

Go into Settings, the More tab, About Device, then click Status. Scroll all the way down and you'll see your Serial #. Hopefully Kies accepts this one.

Alright. Try this even if you have tried it before:
1) Download this unofficial M919N stock rom since an official one doesn't exist as far as I'm aware.
2) Press the Volume Down + Home + Power button until you get into Download mode. Press up to continue. You will now be in download mode.
3) Open up Odin, select PDA, select the file you downloaded in step 1.
4) Make sure Auto-Reboot is the only thing that is checked.
5) Press Start.
6) Wait for it to finish and you should be able to access your phone. Then go into Settings, the More tab, About Device, then click Status. Scroll all the way down and copy your Serial #.
7) Open up Kies and see if it lets you upgrade your FW to the official M919N MetroPCS one.
Let me know how it goes.

flash mod not working properly
I open up FlashTool get my ftf ready to flash, turn the phone off. Next step is volume down and plug in the USB cable, but instead of the light coming up green, it flashes green then immediately red (or possibly vice versa) then the light goes off, but FlashTool still thinks it's connected and in flash mode until I remove the cable.
