Having the same problem as this
but no solution was posted.
Using the latest flashtool and installed the gordons gate drivers.
Put Xperia Play in flahs mode, green light.
Have tried arc and x10 since play not in list.
click on flash
picked the relock bootloader file
comes up root access allowed
hangs on 'preparing files for flashing'
phone then comes out of flash mode on its own and powers off??
please help?
Hello all, on a stock E975 I installed freegee and then cwm, unlocked the bootloader and installed fastboot (i think, there's the start menu if I hold vol+ and power).
The phone shows 'google' and an open lock at the boot also.
Now, I messed up the OS of the phone and t the moment it 'only' boots to cyanogenmod 10.2.0, wifi and Bluetooth aren't working and IMEI reports all zeroes if without SIM, 'unknown' if SIM is inserted.
I know his is a big trouble since I haven't freegee backup anymore but I'd like for the moment to return to stock firmware. Onestep at a time.
So, I need help in how to install stock firmware since the various methods I've tryed so far aren't working.
I got the right E97510H_00.kdz file downloaded ith the Original LG firmware program but I am unable to flash it anymore using KDZ_FW_UPD.exe: I start with phone in upload mode but the program reboots the phone, fastboot menu comes up and firmware update cannot continue anymore and exits with an error.
What should I do to let KDZ_FW_UPD continue with updating firmware?
SOLVED!
Just made a 910k type cable, connected phone to PC and set lg updater to Emergency mode.
Stock firmware restored perfectly and IMEI is working again too.
also...
when the phone reboots to fastboot while trying to flash kdz, power off phone, dont close/exit kdz updater, disconnect usb cable, switch to download mode again and the flashing should finish. i always had success with this one. hth!

bot @melvinhatred , @mahyjooon
seems like u have FLASHED wrong kernels, what are your Exact devices? E6xxx ?
tell me your devices , so that i can guide u better
when you downloaded latest FTF, why did u extract? there is not such need!
download full ftf file via FLASHTOOL ! / the last button on flashtool menu is Xperifirm , click it, select your DEVICE MODEL (accurately) from LEFTSIDE menu, then on the rightside, download LATEST rom as per your country (if country is not listed then Central USA / Europe , or MENA Arabic also) will do just fine.
after FLASHTOOL download and prepare your ftf file, connect your device in FLASH MODE and FLASH this rom (wipe data/kernel/system/setting/userdata ALL)
NOW --------------- since you have BRICKED/ bootloop fone try this
PRESS POWER+VOLUME up key for 5 seconds --- AS SOON AS FONE VIBRATE - RELEASE FINGERS INSTANTLY!!!!
if it restarts and goes in to boot loops then
PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOLUM UP KEY FOR 15 SECONDS --- THE FONE WILL VIBRATE 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHILE ITS VIBRATING SECOND TIME, RELEASE YOUR FINGERS AT ONCE!!!
THE device will sleep.
now try connection your device for flashing in flash mode for FLASHTOOL
this trick / methods is tested by me for xperia z (older device),
tell me what happens with your z5 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i have E6833, i was tring to root it via this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ck-root-xperia-z5-premium-sony-stock-t3335974
but after installing supersu it faced softbrick and didn't boot so I tried to flash stock .253 tft file which i had downloaded from other sources , with flash tools but it stuck on modem.sin and i have to brought it to the shop to have it recover by box .its not the first time i'm facing the problem with flash tools , it always stock on one step for about an hour, the time before the last, i was trying to update it by flash tools and it stucked again.the xperia companion isn't working either -_- it says that it cant connect to network to find the update ! i checked the firewall and internet explorer internet options tab , but nothing worked for me ! my flash tools version is 0.9.22.0 build on 16-5-2016 . the last time i tried 0.9.18 version cause i saw somewhere that maybe the problem is related to new version but it didn't worked again, at the end what i think is that there should be zip flashing method from custom or stock recovery for flashing stock Roms too ! flash tools sucks in my case -_-

4. while flashing disable antivirus, I used SAMSUNG galaxy usb data cable (if that makes difference) ,
5. with me it stuck at reading headers for 19mins but then it closed all headers and flashing was done.
plz read my post.

Hello friends, i have a problem with an old Sony LT18i from a cousin, he brought it to me because he has the China Mobile variant with no GApps and android version was 2.3.4, i thought it might be solved with a simple flash via FLashtool, but when i've completed the downloading of the ftf file and went to flashtool to flash it, when the flashtool ask me to put it in flashmode pressing the back button and connecting to usb the phone led only blinks of 0.5 sec and then boots into normal mode.
Tried the same with fastboot and then i got the same blink for 0.5s with no detection at all. That surprised me as well i've have flashed succesfully other Xperia devices with no problems of led blinks at all. Now my problem is that later i tried to root the phone and installing CWM to flash another ROM or GApps package, and when i finished to install the recovery now the phone is bootlooping and never gets to boot normally.
I've tried with 4SE dongle to flash it via Testpoint and it doesn't work as the phone manufacture model is 12W13 (new security) which the dongle doesn't support, tried with S1 Tool with version 28II215 and 080714 and i only get PHONE NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS MODE when i try to flash and when trying to unlock the bootloader it gives me NOT SUPPORTED MCU REVISION.
The phone was working well until the CWM installation except for the flashmode and fastboot mode, now i really need to flash it and i can't find a way to do it, i also have RIFF JTAG and Z3X Easy JTAG box but no JTAG available for this model except for Medusa Box which only supports phones with manufacture date less than 12W10, i was wondering if there´s a way to access via QHUSB_DLOAD mode doing the testpoint to manually flash partitions to device or something like that. If you might have a workaround or a solution to at least let the phone in the way it was it will help me a lot. Thanks in advance, sorry if my english isn't so great.
Short blink usually means bad USB cable (at least it did for me). Simply try using another cable.
Hi guys, Im running twrp on my sony experia ZL c6502, but i dint do any backup, so is there any solution to me if i want back to normal mode, right now i stuck at recovery mode (twrp), i do restart my phone, reboot bootloader, recovery but it still restart to the pink mode, please help me if there is still have any hope....
Just get yourself a usefull programm called FLASHTOOL and some generic Sony firmware for your phone version, and flash it via flashtool... Eveything is here on this forum, you just need to find it. Oh and flashtool is on flashtool.net (you can also find some firmwares there)
