First of all, is your system 32 or 64 bit? If not the latter, open flashtool.exe instead.
Flashtool also takes a while to launch and it needs admin privileges to work.

Have you tried reinstalling Flashtool? You might've accidentally deleted some crucial files necessary for it to work.

Do try and re-install FlashTool like suggested then right click on the 'Flashtool64' then run with administrator or 'Shift+left Click' for admin rights

yes working now Shift + Double left clicks and open
but why ? it was working normally without admin(

Which drivers do I need for flashing?

I'm trying to flash my Xperia Play using Flashtool, however I'm not sure where I get the Xperia Play drivers from, as in device manager the phone isn't recognised and it just says 'S1 Boot Download'.
I have had it working before, but I can't remember what I did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
S1 boot is fastboot, you dont use flashtool from fastboot, flashtool drivers strangely enough are in the drivers folder.

I installed these drivers if I remember correctly View attachment x86.rar
This is a 32 bit version,tell me if you need the 64 one

can you please post the x64 bit file ? thanks
I tried those in the attachment but flashtool still isn't working... It just keeps saying flash failed... I don't think they're the right drivers. :/

Even using the drivers in the Flashtool folder gives me the same effect... This is what I get...

Are you in flash mode? (Green light; power off, hold back button and plug it in)
Yep... It's worked fine before, but I used a different set of drivers someone from this forum posted up... But I cannot find his post.

[Q] I need help with Flash Tool 5.3.0

See how the screen for the choose file is cut off? How can I fix this to view the rest of the window?

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.

did you update too? use a different computer and try again, it might be a permission problem in win 7

Just follow the instructions. I've had problems like you also. :victory:
ALSO, you can just download Flashtool (by B1nary and Andoxyde I think) via Google.
The Sony flashtool doesn't require a log in... When you are prompt to log in just hit cancel!!!

Thanks. After applying the BL relock I couldn't boot. Which is why I needed a full stock ROM flash. From here I was able to run the repair tool within PC Companion and completely restore to 100% stock.

Hmm... when I click cancel it just closes.
Hmm thats right but try to open it again and should simply open without any log in prompt... Thats what my computer does..

You need to put the customizacion.ini file that comes inside the compressed file into the installation folder of Sony flashtool (Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma) after installation.
With that made, Emma is not going to ask you to log in.
Read the instructions carefully next time.

Good luck. I f.....d up my phone many times since bump is released. But nothing that can't be fixed with factory tot. Mostly just flash and try. Mostly just no screen on cm or no sound WiFi or Bluetooth on what ever Roms I find.

Go to device manager and check if there is a "!" Somewhere on the USB ports.
Right click and disable and enable again. Sometimes the USB driver is just stuck

Problem solved, I was using different PC and it worked

Rooting device using Mac OS X

I've spent hours now following instructions from several sources in an attempt to root my Sony Xperia M phone, but with no success.
I'm not tech-savvy at all, but have followed the instructions very well, and remain at this moment very frustrated.
Is there anybody who is willing to guide me through it step-by-step?
Is there anybody out there willing to help?
I've all but given up. The last option left open for me it seems is to install it through Windows using a VM.

Download towelroot from here (touch the big lamda symbol untill a menu pops-up, from there select save link as) - https://towelroot.com/
Install it and then click on make it rain. You might want to install busybox after the root and also update your supersu binaries. Hope this helps!
