Or instal gordon gate newest one.
Also you need LT15i loader in "loader" folder of flashtool

Hi,
Just a update on this. I couldn't fix it in the end so I ended up buying a cheap Xperia play in bad condition for 50euro on ebay. I used the motherboard from this and tranferred it to my Xperia play ( which was only a couple of weeks old )...Now I am as good as new : )

You can not reinstall the firmware from flashtool?, According to me, you do not need anything but remove the battery and hold the "back" down to start the installation.
Try different usb cable. Try usb at back usb port of motherboard. Reinstall drivers for PC. Restart to fastboot from flashtool.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
Is your back and search button working at all in g2j ROM?

sony boot you say, then you were at stock kernel. Look for a JB kernel like LuPuS, nAa, etc and flash it via Flashtool. Then boot to recovery, either by back button or volume down button depending on the kernel then wipe all, flash respective rom, flash gapps then modules.
thanks for fast answers!!!
haha it cant be less stresfull cause it`s not my phone i googled but when i connect flashtool it wont recognize device either :/ ?
edit....

nevermind sony pc companion if you want a custom JB rom.
First check if your bootloader is unlocked by entering in dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then navigate to System Info>Configuration then check if Bootloader Unlocked:yes, if it says allowed:no, you have to bring it to sony and pay for it to be unlocked,. Or unlock it with testpoint method, which I think is delicate.
Make sure ADB is on.
click the link below then choose the respective kernel for your ROM:
Kernels
choose if it is 4.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2 or what is based by your chosen ROM.
Turn off phone>hold the menu button(back button, home button, menu button) then connect it to pc
Open flashtool>click the thunder>Fastboot mode>Select kernel to Flash then navigate to the file.
