you need to extract it first, it should be a FTF file format... From there you should be able to use Flashtool

Use flash-mode in flashtool for stock versions of ftf. Not fastboot.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

I tried using the flash mode!!!
My phone remains in the flash mode for about 5-10 seconds & then it goes back to charging!!!!

Make sure the fastboot/any necessary driver are installed....
And when it ask to enter the flashmode,power down your devices,then press volume down button (HOLD) and insert the usb cable,don't let go the volume down button as soon as the cable is inserted in...wait for a few seconds after the green light aka flashmode appeared...

Drivers can be found in the drivers folder of flash tool. Also make sure no other program is using abd. Eg: Sony update software.

There are a few things you must do
1. You must install flashmode and fastboot drivers
2.you must select xperia play as current device
3. Reboot into fastboot via ADB
4. Once booted into fastboot mode, click on select kernel to flash.

Update your version of flashtool uninstall the drivers from device manager. Reinstall never androxide flastool reinstall drivers make sure debugging is enabled. Then you should he good to go. If it don't work that means you need a new micro USB cable..

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader

Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

HELP!!! Xperia Play R800i Not Turning On!!

Hi,
I bought a new Xperia Play R800i about 2 months Old. I rooted it by forcing ZergRush via Xperia Flasher 3 weeks back. I wanted to upgrade My Phone to Android 4 i download the Dark ICS rom but couldn't flash it because it wasn't a .ftf, so I downloaded the following files from XDA :-
MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Kernel.ftf
R800i_4.1.B.0.479_Kernel.ftf
Touch_Buttons_Enable_For_FDE+6.zip
I successfully flashed the .ftf s. but when i booted my phone it booted with SONY logo and then the Colorful Sony Ericsson Hemisphere came and the it shut of by itself and then rebooted and the same thing kept on looping. so i took out my battery and put, then put it back in, held the back button, plugged in the USB cable so it enters flash mode but the phone connected with USB debugging off and i could not flash any thing on my phone. then when I tried to boot the phone it would only vibrate and now it doesn't even do that it just blinks a red light sometimes mostly when i try to charge it (Now it doesn't charge either). I also tried hard reseting the phone by holding the left and right buttons on the D-Pad and then pressing the power button but that didn't work either.
Please Somebody Help Me!!!

After a while the sony bridge notice me some error. Then it won't update.
Then I pressed power + vol+ to reboot the device. Then appear the sony bootloop.
I tried soft reset and hard rest does not work. I unlocked the bootloader.
I put it in the flash mode and connect with the laest flashtool.
It showed my device, and I waited for the firmware .200.
After all the stuff finished. My phone didnot show anything even the sony bootloop.
Phone was rooted with lock bootloader before brick.
Anyone can help me?
Get a rubber band (or 2)
Put it around your xs holding power and volume up and leave it for about 20 mins
Try seeing if you can flash something after waiting

Any instruction for flash ftf?
edit: also you can do this via sony pc companion
support zone>repair device> follow instructions
if that doesnt work try the next method
download flashtool (install)(can be found on xda file server)
download ftf (development section)
place ftf in flashtool/firmware/ (after install of course)
install drivers (can be found on sony website)(maybe developer under downloads
open flashtool
click the lightning bolt (top left)
click flashmode
select your firmware
