What have you done before? Have you tried to install a custom rom? But that's no problem, first you've to reflash the firmware, by doing this:
Download flashtool (can be found in dev section)
Download the firmware .587 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24467321&postcount=1)
Install flashtool
Put the downloaded ftf file into the firmware folder of flashtool (C:\Flashtool\firmwares)
Then start flashtool, click at the flash button, choose the firmware, check "No final verification" and click on Ok
Follow the instructions
If the firmware have been successfully flashed, turn your phone on
Optional: Then you can root it again and install CWM if you want
When you've got a question, just post it :good:
can you please advice how do i update my firmware from .431 to .587?
one post above yours - there is a solution for intall .587

Hi Guys, I'm new to this sort of thing and when trying to root my Sony xperia t2 ultra dual have ended up stuck in clockwork mod recovery loop. I have no backups and not sure what files and from where do I need to install via adb access. Cheers
Easy pizzy
Download Flash tool
Download appropriate ftf
Flash ftf via flash tool
Make sure to uncheck wipe data in flash tool while flashing to have everything as it was

What methods have you tried?
Well it seems as if my device has Bricked, any advice on what to do now..?
Tried everything I can think of and searched the web, I'm guessing I installed the wrong boot.img on the device and that's what's causing it to hang and not get past the "Sony" screen...if anyone here could get me the boot.img for the D5316 it would be MUCH appreciated, thanks!

What do you mean? It should be the latest version that I downloaded, and I checked Sony's website and they said the T2 Ultra was unsupported
DId you happen to install Sony PC Companion from your phone?

I am on the same boat! I asked for help in another thread as well. Flashtool by sony "Emma" recognizes the phone, but fails to update phone due to this customization.

I have downloaded latest Flash tool and able to take the backup of my D5316 model (not yet done root or recovery). Not sure we can flash it back to device after trying to unlock bootloader or root the device (in case unlock/root fails).
I dont see the the rooting procedure for device D5316. They are talking of TA Backup prior any rooting or Unlocking BL. When taking the complete FTF, doesn't it retain the DRM keys? I am less confident risking going for rooting for this device without confirmed backup of TA
Emma don't support Xperia T2 Ultra but you can use other Flash tool
To restore the original firmware go to xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/55-sony-xperia-t2-ultra-d5303
download the tool and the firmware of Xperia t2 ultra (D5303/D5316/D5306/XM50t) <- same model
Check you put your phone on flash mode (volume down), not fastboot (volume up).

Flashtool you need to get from http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Stock Sony firmware you can download using another nice tool: XperiFirm ~ Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker.
Using Flashtool you will need to convert stock firmware into flashable D5316_4.4.2_Sony.ftf , then you need to put your phone in flashmode mode by connecting USB cable to a computer while pushing Vol down (or up). Flashtool should recognize this mode.
Then you can chose what do you want to flash and what to skip.
It worked well for me and hope will help others.
Good luck!
I'm stuck on the android screen after flashing my T2 with a FXP ASOP Build. Will this same method to get me back to stock?
Download your device stock ftf file. And then flash through flashtool
Done and I'm back up and running. Appreciate the help. Now I need to cook my own ASOP rom. One last question, when I reflashed, SuperSu and other apps said they didnt have root access but when I got to unlock the phone again. It says its already unlocked. What am I missing here?

Your phone is Acro S (lt26w) or Arc S(LT18i)? Please check that because either You are trying to flash wrong ROM or are in wrong thread.
