[Q] Flashtool can't find 42.ftf file

As the title says, my flashtool (0.9.10.1) isn't able to find the "R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf" file. Of course I installed the needed drivers.
Once I was able to downgrade to .42 but that was a long while ago.
I tried already these things:
Reinstall Flashtool
Install on another partition
Search for another ftf file (it's everywhere the same)
Viewed ****tons of manuals/videos
Does anyone knows what I could do?

Try using this tool. .42 firmware is available through this:

That link is for unlocked bootloader, and you are probably on locked bootloader.
Just us PC Companion to flash stock firmware.
Or find find out why flashtool can't flash stock firmware. Possible reasons - solutions
-not in flash mode - power off phone, while keeping pressed back buton plug usb to PC
-bad download - redownload
-bad file - download from other source
-Flashtool can't read path of downloaded file (special letters in directory's path) - place file in C:/ or D;/
-unknow errors - start flashtool with admin rights
-phone not recognized - bad drivers, use drivers from flashtool folder

Solution
I had the same problem, where only 4.0.2.A.0.42 Global would not show up in the Flashtool ftf list. Version 0.62 or 0.42 CN would show up fine.
I used the firmware from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477440
Using an older version of Flashtool (flashtool 0.6.9.1) resolved the problem for me (http://www.4shared.com/file/-rYqPPug/flashtool-0691-windows.html).
You could file a bugreport with the Flashtool developers.

I solved the problem by manually let the FlashTool sync the devices databases from Github
1 - Connect to the internet
2- From FlashTool > Devices > Device Sync > Manual Sync
3- after it's done syncing close FlashTool and open it again..
4- it should say loaded ninety something devices (in my case 94)
5- choose flash > flashmode and choose a folder that contains any correct FTF (not corrupted FTF file) whatever the names of the files are..
you should now have your device(s) listed in the Firmwares box with the FTF files after expanding the device name..
Have a good flashing

How do I get to root on my Xperia T3 D5106 ???

Friends, I'm there one week direct non-stop trying to root on my Sony Xperia T3 (D5106) 18.1.A.2.25 version, do not know what else to do, I've tried all the tutorials xda forum .. all give error .. when I give in flash D5103 model, error appears here, my T3 only works on the D5106 model .. How do I get to root on my Xperia T3 D5106 ??? For God's sake = ( :crying:

You can follow the tutorials found in other threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t3/help/how-to-root-xperia-t3-18-1-2-25-t3007487 or http://help.howproblemsolution.com/1377446/tutorial-root-xperia-t3-firmware-18-1-a-2-25 that show how to root a D5103. It works altough your phone will complain at startup that you have the wrong version (but it still works). To circunvent this you must flash an ftf file for the D5106. If you don´t find one you can generate your own ftf with flashtool, that should be installed in c:\flashtool.
1) start flashtool and go to Devices/Check Updates. Double click on D510X then click on D5106 tab. If you find the brand of your phone, double click it and flashtool will start downloading. If you don´t find your brand, you can add it to the list in flashtool\devices\D510X\D5106\custlist.properties. In my case I added 1 line with "1286-6141=AMERICAS-LTE" without the quotes. You find this information about your phone in C:\program data\Sony\Sony PC Companion\<youremei>\default-capability.xml , almost at the end under <filesystem> <productnumber> and <cdf> <productnumber>.
Save custlist.properties and you will see your brand in flashtool. Be patient waiting for download - it will bring almost 1 GB.
2) when download is finished, flashtool will automatically decrypt the filesets and open the "Bundler". There you should mark the whole folder list and move it to the right to the "firmware content". Now you can click on "create" and your ftf will be generated in the firmwares folder.
If the process ends successfully you will have generated an ftf and a torrent file.
Follow the steps in the tutorial to flash the .14 firmware, run the rootkit to root your device and use your generated ftf to flash the .25 firmware. Flash only the Kernel and unmark the wipe Data in flashtool.
I hope this helps, since it worked for me. happy flashing

Help to create ftf file 6.0

Hello , when I try to create the FTF file, flashtool says " add fsc file? " I put yes or not ?

Yes.
I've made a 6.0 FTF and clicked yes and it flashed fine.

Already possible to flash/generate a FTF File

Hi,
i would like to know if there is any way to flash a ftf file yet?
With the latest Flashtool 0.9.23.2 you can already download the roms for XA1 but you cannot create a ftf file, because the device is not listed yet.
I found some ftf .files on the net but i can't flash them also with flashtool. the firmware is not listed. if i use a older version of flashtool, the firmware is listed,
but when i want flash the file, it's says no loader for the device has been found.
i have a branded firmware, and would like to flash a unbranded version of the firmware.
if i use xperia companion, i only can flash the same branded version.
i tried to trick the xperia companion, the software loading the firmware files in the background if using software repair.
i tried to replace the file with the ones downloaded with flashtool/xperifirm, but it won't work.
i

Yes. download newflasher tool from my signature

It is now. Since today or for some days, but I checked today. Already started creating ftfs for my forum.

Hello mate I have had that issue and it was resolved by using a fresh download of xperiafirm (via it built in button on flash tool) then click yes to use script!!

@jotade
You need add support for XA1 Ultra to Flashtool. Download this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UqjtcLWyHOMDhGTjlJLW15TlE, than unpack it. Start Flashtool and uncheck AutoSync (Devices -> Device Sync -> Auto Sync -> Off). After that copy unpacked G32XX folder into /Flashtool/devices folder.
Than You can create and flash the firmware on Your device.
There are modded by me XA1 .properties and .fsc files to match Ultra (second one has only name changed to match fws' name).

Thanks my friend but i already flash and root whitout doing that. Everything is great know. ROOT is the best

Hi guys, I've been poking around on here for the first time in many years..
Are you guys telling me that I can get a stock .ftf for my XA1 Ultra (G3221) via flash tool, if I first update flash tool into something that @munjeni maintains? Also, this new flashtool runs in x64 Ubuntu 16.04?
I would like to unpack the stock ftf, tweak it for root, repack it and flash it with flashtool - having first tried the stock ftf. I've done this before a while ago.
So far with the G3221 I unlocked the bootloader, and that's it. There are many adverts on this site on a smartphone, and it makes searching these forums difficult so I've struggled to find out what I need. Your guidance would be appreciated.

You can use both Flashtool (not sure if it supports Ultra already, but I attached, few post back, neede files to add support) and Xflasher. Both will flash the stock fine. Both works fine on Linux.
However You cannot flash modded stock using this apps. There is no way to repack it to .sins and than .ftf to make it seen and flashable by any of this 2 apps. It was possible with X10, but XA1 is not X10...
Only way to flash modded rom i use recovery. If Im right there is TWRP for XA1 Ultra already.

Flashtool needs "loader.sin", but it isn't included in the folder you provided. Any idea what to do?

It's not needed. It was with older devices, but not XA1.
