processing loader.sin error! Urgent help needed!

I got into a bootloop recently due to unlocking my bootloader. I was really worried, so I installed CWM using fastboot on my phone.Then the bootloop also stopped,only the sony logo appears for a small time and then the phone goes black out.I can still boot into recovery.
I came to know that flashing using stock ftf will solve my problem, but now on flashing it gives the error that processing loader.sin completed with errors and then the flashing aborts. Please anybody help me!:crying: I have the latest version of flashtool and have downloaded C1905 15.1.A.1.9 global ftf.

You can try using Emma (a Sony restoration tool) to restore the latest firmware.
Alternatively you can boot to recovery, mount sd card(make sure all pc drivers are installed), download a custom rom like cm/aosp or stock rom (not the ftf but zip), load it to the sd card and then install that via recovery.

Will emma work on unlocked bootloader phones(like mine)? Where can I get stock rom in zip format?

There is no zip of stock rom. What he says is download a custom rom like cm11 and flash it then flash the ftf file again.

Is it necessary to flash the ftf again after flashing cm11?

Until now, Flashtool not provide XM device (loader.sin). #cmiiw
But you can download the file below and put it in C:\Flashtool\Device
For XM Single: http://d-h.st/eBB
For XM Dual: http://d-h.st/hcw
Then try to flash again.
*Sorry for my bad english

I tried it, still the same error. BTW I have flashed CM11 now and I don't think that there is any need for the stock rom now............

Maybe if you temp unroot, you'll be able to ota, but there's been at least 4 updates since .242, so best thing would be Flashtool, which would require re-rooting, or flash a prf in recovery. For Flashtool:
1 - download Flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php)
2 - install drivers for your phone, including fastboot and flashmode drivers, from driver exe program in Flashtool folder, (if you don't have them already)
3 - open Flashtool, and click on Xperifirm logo at top, (XF), and find the latest fw for your region, (check the white tag inside sim slot if not sure), and download.
4 - after downloaded, go back to Flashtool main screen, click lightning bolt, select 'flashmode', and navigate to downloaded fw file, then follow instructions.
For prf:
Download and flash in recovery, for example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...503-14-6-1-236customizedinpre-rooted-t3265543 - or, just make your own - http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

Yes, I was thinking about flashing pre-rooted 14.5.A.0.270 and restore apps from backup. Thanks

Flash .270 if you want, but since then there's been 0.283, 0.368, 1.216, and the latest, 1.236. The link I posted is for 1.236, IN customization.

Hmm, I think I should go with the latest one. Is there any known serious bug or battery issue in 1.236?

help with stock firmware

Sooo, my backup is gone :crying:
I've tried restoring the stock firmware with flashtool, but i just cant seem to get it working :/
I go into the flashtool and select the firmware but nothing happends (i am in fastboot)
- Is there a stock firmware that is flashable in TWRP?

1. you need to see proper flashing tutorial,
2. once you download stockrom via XPERIFIRM (last button (right) on FLASHTOOL )
3. create ftf file (automatically)
4. now select firmware and when flashtool prompt, connect device in FLASHMODE (not fastboot mode)
it will flash
make sure you have the LATEST version of flashtool and all the drivers are installed

I sort of got it working.
now my issue is that the new flashtool version cant find my files. I can use the older flashtool version but then i can only get to 6.0.1 and not 7.0
any bright ideas ?

1. usually autodownloads via Xperifirm goes at C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares, however if this is not the problem and you have
2. two firmware (android 6 & 7) both are at C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares and you are able to see only 6 this could mean
(a) the firmware of 7 is not complied properly
(b) downloading firmware again from zero, may help
3. reinstalling flashtool also helps
4. make sure you are on latest flashtool and xjar files are replaced

I have done all of the above. I can see all the firmwares in the older versions of flashtool but none in the new version (the firmwares are located in the correct folder)
- the only thing i can see when i point the flashtool at the firmwares folder is "Sony Xperia z5 premium" and none of the firmwares it's supposed to show me

i cant seem to be able to attach an image so i hope this dropbox link to the image will do
- this is the only thing i see with the new version

Help with XperiFirm and Flashtool

Hello,
I am new to Sony. I did own a Huawei P10 Lite, and installed GSI Roms succesfully.
Now i did unlock the bootloader of my XA2 and i want to try a little bit with Flashtool.
I did download the latest Firmware via XperiFirm, and i want to make a .ftf file.
Flashtool asks me if i want to use FSC Script when i want to make .ftf file, i don't know if i should click on Yes or No. Maybe someone can help me.
2nd thing i want to know is how to flash a firmware with flashtool. I only found tutorials for an older version of flashtool.
Is it possible to update the firmware to newest version with flashtool, if i don't tick the wipe boxes?
Can i tick all the wipe boxes if i want to clean flash?
A guide for the newest flashtool version would be good, maybe somone takes the time and helps me.
You can also pm me on Telegram: @Schrittii
Thanks.

HI, 1st: you must click yes to use FSC script, as is how is installed the files that content the ftf archive... 2nd... You could downgrade and upgrade your firmware without problems with flashtool... Don't touch anything, just flash with the default options
