Yes the bootloader obviously should be unlocked before you do the flashing stuff!Flashtool works for me and the state of usb debugging never affected its functionality ! Make sure you have all the drivers properly installed!

Dude one more simple doubt. Is it possible for you to tell me how to install the drivers in my win 7?
Now I am facing another problem. I just tried to restore my xperia m dual c2005. But it didn't go well. I saw my xperia waves got stucked. So i just removed my battery an replaced it. When I switched on my phone it only shows SONY logo. I tried to repair my software by using PCC and Xperia Companion. It shows error messages. Then i showed it to a mobile service agent in a local mobile shop. He told me that m dual c2005 model had a sony only memory. So they cannot do it because the memory can't be re-writeted in this model. Is that true? Or is there any other better option to resolve my phone's issue?
Please help me bro....:crying:

To Install the drivers
I think you might be able to solve this problem! The problem is with your partitions.So follow:
first of all install fastboot and adb drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
go to device manager and verify that and android device interface or something like that appears.
If it doesnt then s1 boot device will appear as unknown device , right click on that and update device driver and then select the option let me pick from drivers on my computer .
After that select android device then dont select anything , itll get autoselected and click next!
now your device should appear in device manager!
To restore the system completely
Install a recovery for the device by the following procedure :
first download twrp from https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiam.html, rename it to recovery.img
go to cmd with admin rights in the folder in which recovery is put
(flash the recovery in boot sector)
type :
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
now boot the phone up the recovery should automatically open up, it may get stuck for some time but only once it will so be patient,;
go to wipe, then advanced wipe! select every option and micro sd,internal storage and usb-otg are optional
then swipe to wipe , it will show that it failed but dont worry some partitions are of sort that they show error now after this the problem should be resolved , after this flash a rom of your choice or restore a dual stock firmware backup (note: you cannot restore backups which were made from cwm , for that flash philz or cwm recovery)
Please report and hit thanks if i helped you!

The country doesnt matter you may flash any country's generic rom,mine was indian but I flashed brazillian..
And about the flashtool I dont think emma is good , i prefer flashtool any version...if you find the latest not working then you may try the second latest but 99% it does work good..
Most important : You need to connect your device in fastboot before installing drivers and flash the boot partition by those command so go here on how to boot in fastboot mode http://www.theandroidsoul.com/boot-sony-xperia-m-fastboot-mode-51835/

yes you will have to unlock bootloader and for that too i suggest you use flashtool because it does the work in seconds,!
and for relocking i dont there's any method to relock bootloader , u dont need to do that after all!
It enables you to flash modes and other cool stuff! even if you dont wanna do that then dont touch it !flash a cyanogenmod recovery,which is quite basic and wont modify anything that may harm your phone...

I never faced that kind of a thing , make sure that you are flashing the right file!
You have unlocked your bootloader?
Again I say better flash a recovery then a backup ,its much easier.

try to re download ftf file again or download it from another source i had the same problem i downloaded 2 ftf files from the link that you mentioned but my flashtools didint recognised my ftf too until i tried another source
https://www.iranmobile.org/xperia-e6833/
this is where i could get the right ftf which my flashtools recognised i dont know what is your model exactly and the site is persian sorry for that but the blue icon means download
My model is E6853, is there another source? I need an italian firmware, but im sure that my flashtool wont recognize it...
Xperifirm downloads the firmware files as RAW files.
Flash tool compiles the files into a FTF
Easy steps
1 } Use Xperifirm to download the firmware you need. (Remember the download location you'll need it)
2 } locate the finished firmware folder and check for the file "fwinfo.xml" and Delete it ( this will cause the FTF creation to fail every time)
3 } Open Flashtool and select in the top menu "tools" > "bundles" > "Create"
4} in the first box click and navigate to your Firmware files
5} in Device - select your model of phone
6} Branding - can be anything but it's best to use the description of the download you used (i.e customized CE1)
7} Version - use the same version string as your download
8} in the Folder List window select all files *EXCEPT* any Files with the .TA extension and move them across to the Firmware content window
9} Click the Create button.
10} once finished you can close the window, then use your newly created FTF to flash to your device.
all these steps were taken from this little tutorial

Please Press Thanks if this information helped you.
Hi
Thanks for the tip have the same issue.
If I flash without wiping will it be like I'm just updating my device. I'm currently running 7.0 *.378 and to update to *.33, received OTA update notification and want update but it fails to install because I'm rooted and unlocked I believe.
Just update your flashtool to the latest version by replacing the corresponding jar file found on the official website will do

yes ota updates can not install on rooted devices you have to downloadd .33 ftf with xperifirm or other sources,put ftf file in firmwares and run the flashtools ro flash the rom , yes you can choose not to wipe every thing and your data will be saved and you can have nougat with your last apps and settings.
but if not there is no problem then you have to wipe everything and falsh if you faced bootloop
I opened the phone, and with recovery accidently deleted android.
Now the phone has no operating system and it stops on the white Sony logo.
Cant flash android as flashtool doesnt recognise the device. Also Sony EMMA doesnt recognise the device.
Is there something I can do to flash android again?
You still should be able to boot into Flashmode.
Download this: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/zCWNOyLT/file.html
Put it in Flashtool\devices.
Inside are modded XA1 files to match XA1 Ultra. With that You can create and flash* .ftfs.
That way I create ftfs for users of my polish forum about Xperias: http://www.xperiasite.pl/forum/396-xperia-xa1-ultra/
*Don't have XA1 Ultra, but simulations gave no errors and there is no complains from users.
Thanks
But i cant download the files ad i cant register to your site in polish.
Can you send ne another link to your files?
I have a G3221 version
Here You have all firmwares fo XA1u I created: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=201573
On that forum are additionally links to GDrive and MEGA.
Not sure where to upload that Flashtool files, never had problem with Zippy.
EDIT: Here GDrive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UqjtcLWyHOMDhGTjlJLW15TlE
Thanks
Firgett my last post, i managed to download both fules.
Will let you know if i managed to flash the device.
Thanks again
Thanks for your help
I download all the files
Put the first file in the flashtool/devices
Put the firmware in flashtool/firmwares
Also, i have the last version of flashtool.
But still flashtool dont recognise the device and not the firmware...
Can you tell me what can i do?
Not sure. Did You put G32XX folder into Flashtool/devices folder and .ftf into /firmwares?
Don't have he device, but at least firmware and unknown device in flashmode should be seen by Flashtool.
In the newest version of flashtool it doesnt recognise the firmware.
I did install an old version of flashtool and it did recognize the firmware, but still could not flash it...
Any error? Maybe it can be bypassed.
I use now flashtool version 0.9.22.3
It recognise the device
It also recognise the firmware.
With your firmware it flash with no errors and in the end it is saying ''Please unplug and start your phone''
But the phone still stuck on the SONY white screen.
I tried fkashing other firmwares but there is an error like ''can read only 55000 bites instead of 60000'' and then the flash is aborted...
Very strange...
Hello im trying to flash stock firmware in my G3223 but nothing detect the firmware. Please let me know. Thanks
my handphone is xz2c h8324. after I flashing android 9 via newflasher, my handphone fail booting. when booting, it's appear
"Your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot. Your device will be powered off in 5 seconds." anybody can help me? thanks
Install flashtool-0.9.31.0
Download stock rom from https://xperiastockrom.com/sony-xperia-xz2-compact-h8324-dual
If the flash tool can't read the ftf file,so you have to open up the file by winrar then just grab and drop this file """ https://mega.nz/file/Z8gBSYBR#3c-_4vxk4j4govM8gvRh-ojDaF_dL_d-PF8q-N_ifK4 """ into it .
hop this will solve your problem
