WILLING TO DONATE for someone who can get this phone work!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just recieved an xperia ZL, i bought on the internet. The seller sold it as it is not working, it cant connect to any network, or its just not recognizing the sim, and the back cam is not working. The cam can start but when I take a pic with it and it tries to save it then I get an Error message without any error codes. I think the phone should be flashed, and I need help with it. Will it make the cam work? And can it help on the other problem with the sim card? I took some pics about the details of my phone, I dont understand anything from it but it can help for some of you
who is an expert, the only problem is that I cant link it in my post because I am new on this forum...
UPDATE
FLASHTOOL installed - YES
Flashtool recognize the phone when it is started - YES
When flashtool asks me to connect the phone in flashmode and it shows me the instructions I cant get it in flashmode.... The instructions dont disappear when I hold the volume down key and connect it to the usb, just red yellow green led flash for <1 second, and nothing happens... then I must restart the phone with the small button on the back of it.
So the thing is stuck here!!! I think my phone is not able to get in flashmode! Is there another method to flash it without using flashmode on phone???? And I think it can start in fastboot mode because if I hold the volume UP key and connect it to usb then the blue led is ON...
One more thing that I was searching for and gugled it and cant find answer
ROOTING STATUS: unknown If I'm right there should be a text like Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes or No... not unknown.
SOME SPECS:
Phone Software Version: 1266-7597_10.1.A.0.287 GENERIC - userdebug
File System Version: Global-LTE_10.1.A.0.278
S1 boot version: 1264-2309 S1_Boot_APQ_8064_LA1.2_9
ETS Software version: 1269-3849_5
SIM lock: here is everything 0 and no [X]
If you need some other info just ask me, an dtell me where to find it.

Thx, but the links for the flashtool for windows are dead.
I've downloaded the C6503_10.1.A.1.350_Generic DE.ftf and flashtool 0.9.11 from the Androxyde website. Is that flash tool good for this ZL or is there a special just for the ZL phone? And do you think the flashing will solve my problems?
In my phone it says:

Installed the latest flashtool, drivers too, but when I try to flash the phone I have to turn it off and then disconnect the micro usb, I'm holding the volume down key and connect back the usb, then I see a green led on the phone and after that a red one and nothing happens. What is the problem now?
And I would like to ask someone a favor who has ZL too, to look at the SIM card slot and see how much pins are there, in my there is 3 and it seems like the fourth on the left side is missing?!?

There must be something u r doing wrong.
For the Z/ZL u need this version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
Find it here also: http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1371023098000
PC: Flashtool and Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed, Sony PC Companion installed.
XPERIA : Enable USB Debugging, Enable Install from Unknown Sources
Then, turn your phone off.
Start Flashtool, click on the thunder icon, select the file u want to flash, ok, wait for it to load, once the program asks for the phone connect the USB cable, then volume down, keep pressing it while u connect the phone to the usb...should work.

Thak you for your reply... Iam ready to donate for someone who can get this phone work for me!!!!!
I've tried exactly as you said. Everything is installed and the flashtool is that version and it recognize my phone, and when i start the flash and the flashtool shows me the instructions to connect my phone in flashmode, there is the point where I'm stuck. I've noticed that I simply cant get the phone in flashmode. I'm holding the volume down key while I connect the usb in it, then the red yellow green leds flahses for <1 seconds and nothing happens. I'm sure that the phone is unable to get in flashmode. Now I think I need another flashing method where flashmode is not required, if it is possible....
Anyway thank you for your time and reply!!
have you tried to check on sony service ? just make sure that is not hardware broken.
There are several method other than using flashtool.
1. Try repair feature in PC companion
2. If cannot update try download SUS (Google this)
3. Or if u can enter fastboot, u can try to flash the kernel via flashtool. Open flashtool, then go to fastboot mode, then unplug cable, Off phone, enter fastboot mode, in flashtool select flash kernel, select .img file (extract from kernel u download, ensure it has recovery I.e doomkernel) then flash. This will only work if ur bootloader unlocked already + rooted.
4. Try to root u phone 1st then unlocked bootloader. (please backup ur TA partition, otherwise u will loss ur DRM key or in other word loss ur bravia engine feature, custom Rom have this feature already actually, unless u want to go back to completely stock Rom)
5. Or download older version of flashtool. Ur version of Rom .278 seem very rare, never heard of it. Maybe the first Rom version before .350.

Yes for that you'll need root with cwm installed. So that you can flash using any zip..

Hi All,
My phone was shutting itself down yesterday for no reason, so I boot into TWRP, thinking I should do something there, maybe restore to a previous backup, or wipe cache, etc...
I was in a hurry to go to the game (GO WARRIORS!), so I was just trying to get the phone ready for the game...
I tried the "Regular" wipe, and when it didn't work, I went into advanced wipe, and chose system wipe and REBOOT the phone (BAD IDEA!)....
so now my phone won't go past the SONY logo, because there is no system to boot into
What can be done here? Flashtool won't recognize my phone, and kept telling me I need to install the correct driver, and I can't boot into recovery.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Try connecting your phone to Sony PC companion it has all the device drivers. It may not recognize your phone when you connect it but proceed to the update/renew tab and follow the on screen prompts.
Nope ,won't connect, it turns on for like 1 second when the cable is plugged in... then it turns off again
is there any other way?
Connect it with fastboot.
To do this, hold the volume up button while connecting it with your PC, the LED will go blue.
Now you can either flash a rom via flashtool, repair it with PC Companion, or emma.
But since you have TWIRP, I would guess PC companion won't help you. You will likely also whipe all your backups stored on the phone by doing this, unless they're on the SD card, but that's better than having no phone at all.

1) install flash tool by androxyde
2) open the flash tool.
3) click thunder button and select flashmode.
4) connect your phone via usb (if message: device status no found [is ok])

I was able to flash "C6506_10.6.A.0.454 R2E_Customized US" to the phone, however ,after the process is done, it still won't get past the SONY screen.
Xperia shows underneath SONY logo this time though, so something was done to the phone.
ohhh
go to service gsm, maybe your motherboard/sd memory is die.

If you use Windows 8, you must disable driver signature before installing flashtool, for this, hold shift key while restart your computer, enter in the proper settings and choose "disable signature driver", after this, install flashtool, then go to its folder and find folder driver and install the Xperia Z family driver. After these processes your phone will be recognized by flashtool

My Phone is stuck on Sony Logo and rebooring again and again. With Fastboot I am getting simlock.ta file warning. After that phone is useless as of now. Do you recommend anything?

I couldn't get it fixed, so I bought a Z3 Compact, great phone, way faster than the ZL.

Does your phone start to home screen when you put in AC charging from wall socket?
I think you mean Flashmode...If you didn't try flashmode.Install needed drivers from flashtool folder.Connect you phone in flashmode (volume down+cable into).disconnect it.
load ftf-exclude any .TA files if you r not locked to any carrier.--click on 'No final verification'.
flash and connect when asked when displays .Hope it helps.Keep us updated.

Nicely done.But if i were you i would never go with Sony once again.You will see what i am talking about.
I flashed my xperia m dual sim c2005 with firmware version 15.5.A.1.5, supposedly stock 4.3JB. Unfortunately the flashing process stopped during system.sin file processing and now the phone no longer boots or enters FlashMode. When I plug the USB cable, the green light appears below and remains even after I unplug the cable. For some reason when I hold Vol_UP and plug the USB cable FlashTool recognizes the phone in Fastboot mode; However, pressing Vol_DOWN to enter FlashMode doesn't appear to yield any outcome, not even a notification sound in windows.
I'm really looking forward to any suggested solutions.
Thank you...
try, press volume up longpress. for me it's working

When i press VOL- and insert cable phone goes to charging and green battery icon appears.

Are you sure the correct flashmode and fastboot mode drivers are installed in the computer?
I am having the same issue. I have quite and experience in installing custom ROMs on Sony phones and in particular, my Xperia S with Flashtool. I have also installed the latest version of Flashtool and proper drivers on multiple computers (Vista and Windows 10). The Flashtool Mode gets recognized but only for a couple of seconds then it will not respond further.
I wanted to flash rom with Sony flash tool but it failed and phone turned off. Now it's showing only red led. If I connect to PC then it shows unknown device and it disconnect automatically from PC in a while. No fastboot, No download mode, No charging, no boot.
Please help me if someone has any solution for it
