got your mistake...you are not in flash mode..u need to be in flash mode to flash a ftf file..turn phone off, hold back button and plug in USB Cable..
then flashtool must say that u r connected in flashmode..then u can proceed ahead
oh okay my fault, but same story, drag and drop don't work. oh man im freaking out >.< not your fault i hate me xDD
AHHH
chill dude..paste wat is on flashtools...let me see...
I just now checked..i can drag and drop ftf files and phone is not even connected!
oh i recognize the flash mode interrupt after a while and the phone restars. oh man i dont know whats my fault.
my phone is rooted. i installed the kernel, rom and gapps in this order. all is working i don't know why it doesn't work sry if i bother you
i think if it is like you say that i only can drag and drop if it is corretly connected i thinnk thats the problem because the flash mode not working 100% like i said only for a while than restarts. but the ADB drivers are installed because i flashed it already and installed a new kernel :C
PS: i need a pause, i'll be back tomorrow. thanks for your help man
chill..baseband is not tat important..it is just for btr network coverage..if you are getting signal now then its fine..use the ROm for few days and try again whenever u get time..
If you keep the ftf in the firmware folder, it should be detected by Flashtool. Can't you flash it then?

Try to copy your baseband FTF file into C:\Flashtool\firmwares
Now open your flashtool
Select flashmode
and your baseband file will be under "select firmware". Select your baseband,
WITHOUT ticking "exclude baseband" press OK
Turn off your phone
PRESS AND HOLD BACK BUTTON and plugin your usb..
Hope this helps....!!!!

I tried this already, but don't work too. It doesn't show me the ftf in the selection and do not choose automatically
I Searched the hole WWW to find a familiar problem. but it seems that im the only one with this problem. but im pretty sure it must be the flash mode. because if i turn my phone off while holding back button the green led flashes and it connects in flash mode but after a while it restarts many times in a loop never ending.

That's just a placeholder for the next version. They will mention the changes the changes that were implemented in the upcoming version.
It doesn't mean that it's released.

Hi!
Yesterday I read something about google play shop. I wanted to install some apps, but I didn't meet the requirements. And i found solution. I had to go to system folder and edit build.prop But first i backup this file.
I did it. Then I turned off and turned on my phone. But I still can't install this apps. So I copy backuped file from SD card and paste it to the system folder. Again I turned off my phone, but then it can't be turned on.
I will describe it: when I'm turning on my phone, I see Sony logo, and it changes to black screen. When I wait 5 seconds, I'm seeing this again, and again. I have to remove the battery to stop this.
I think that if I edit this file again and change it value to this value, with which was working, my phone will be working fine.
This file contains info about phone. When i edited this file I change it from M to Z5, from 4.3 to 5.1 and from C1905 to E6653. Now I want to change it again to Z5, 5.1 and E6653. I think it will work.
My question is HOW to change this? And maybe you have other solutions.
I had uplad a stock rom to my phone by flashtool. Flashtool said to unplug cable and turn on my phone. And now I see turning on animation again and again. I turned off and turned on my phone. And i have this same
If you are trying to use flashtool means you got an unlocked bootloader. I recomended google "xperia m ftf" and install again the original ftf via flashtool
According to XPERIAblog, now we're able to use Flashtool for our device.
Long-term Sony Xperia users will be very familiar with Flashtool, it has been the da facto method of flashing firmware of Xperia devices to a different region. It has been around since the advent of Sony’s Android Xperia phones, but support was not added for any of the 2017 Xperia devices.
However, Flashtool developer Androxyde has updated the application to version 0.9.24.2, which now includes support for the Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact. Do note though that this new version of Flashtool has moved from Java 8 to Java 9, so you will need to run a 64-bit operating system. If you want to download the new version, click here.

Could someone help me understand what the advantages of Flashtool are over Newflasher? I used flashtool on my old z3c...but is there a good reason to switch if newflasher works well enough?

I think it's just nice and convenient because it's a one-stop shop for flashing xperia devices... it includes xperifirm and such, and has checkboxes for you to remove userdata.sin etc, so you don't actually have to go and do it yourself. Probably just preference and habit. If you're totally fine with newflasher I don't think there's any difference.
I've tried unsucessfully to download 9.24.2 version, can you tell me why ?
Nothing happen when i click on "Get it".

The "Get it" link links to the download page you're already on, of course "nothing happens".
You need to click on one of the 3 links with your OS description, like "Windows", then decide if you want to download via BT or file host.
OK thanks
My US version XZ1c arrived Wednesday afternoon and I'm fairly new to the whole flashing scene (unrootable Samsung phones and locked bootloaders all my Android life, yay....), so forgive my stupidity. I've followed the guide on XperiaFirmware.com up to part C, which says to install drivers for Flashtool. I believe I've got Flashtool working right now, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. Are the drivers located somewhere not on the site, or are they included in the 47.1.A.12.34 folder from XperiaFirmware? I see it contains the newflasher program in there, but I don't understand what the other files are for.

In the install folder for the Flashtool should be a folder called Drivers. Inside that there is an .exe you should run that will install the drivers you need. When you run it you need to select the flashtool drivers from the option as well as the drivers for your model of phone, usually down towards the bottom of the list. If you are running Windows 10 then you will need to disable driver signature checking before trying to run this file. (boot into safe mode and look under advanced menu).
Download the firmware you want to install with Xperiafirm, put it in the flashtool firmware folder.
Run the program, slect the lightning bolt, select the firmware, press ok. It will then start building the image. Then it will ask you to connect your phone.
Make sure your phone is powered off completely. Then plug the USB in whilst holding the volume down button (the led should turn green), Flashtool will recognise the phone, you can let go of the volume button and let Flashtool do it's job.
Edit: having used both Newfalsher and Flashtool, I think Newflasher is easier, but you're already there now so you may as well carry on.

I went ahead with Newflasher since the guide is much easier. +1 Thanks
I recently used Flashtool to flash my USA-purchased XZ1C to the .75 Customised DE firmware, and the process was about as simple and straightforward as I can imagine. I also like that provision of the firmware locator is built-in to the Flashtool installation, and the downloaded firmware archive contains a script which puts everything into place for flashing. By default, all user data and settings appear to be maintained. The only thing that might be confusing is that the dialog that pops up indicating it's time to connect the phone only refers to 2011 and 2012 models (both X Compact and XZ1 Compact use the 2012 method). Otherwise, everything proceeds smoothly. Have others had similar positive (or negative) experiences with Flashtool?

So even the apps, data, etc. remains, like when you update OTA ? I am considering updating my (very outdated) firmware without waiting for it to come from Sony, but I don't want to reinstall and reconfigure everything.
@jeff9891
As I indicated previously, nothing seems to have been lost when I used flashtool to install firmware. Of course I can't guarantee that you'll have exactly the same experience, but I have updated both an Xperia xz1 Compact and an Xperia X compact and have not lost any data. In any case I would advise backing up with Xperia companion first.
Thanks, I'll try it this week-end and report, if no OTA update arrives beforehand.
I must be dumb, but I can't find XZ1C in the list in "Flashtool-drivers.exe". Flashtools thereforce recognizes some device is connected, yet it does not display the device's name like it is supposed to do so as far as I read in tutos (even if the program says "driver installed : true") :

Sharing some XZ1C flashing process tips for those who may have to cope with the same problems I did.
1) There are no XZ1C dedicated drivers in the drivers.exe that comes with flashtools. Just select the generic "Flashmode drivers" in the list. Still necessary to install them before flashing, though.
2) It is normal that flashtools does not display your device name in its consol as it was supposed to do so with previous phones models. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctqKNAzrKpQ
3) Xperifirm (= the program to grab your phone's latest stock ROM from Sony) is integrated into flashtools. Click the "XF" logo in the top bar, then find your model and download it. It will automatically make it usable in flashtools without fiddling with the files.
4) Follow the general tutorial for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 . To enter flash mode with XZ1C, you can follow this tuto : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eid4PApHffg Be aware that your screen will stay black in this mode, but your LED will turn green.
5) Once you plug the phone in flash mode, again, nothing will happen on the phone's screen, but you can follow the flashing on flashtools terminal. Do not be surprised (as I was) if the program does not indicate "flashing completed" or something like that. Just leave the phone and the computer until you obtain this (took like 10 minutes for me):
Code:
09/023/2018 17:23:49 - INFO - Sending Sync
09/026/2018 17:26:01 - INFO - Sync status : OKAY
09/026/2018 17:26:01 - INFO - Sending powerdown

09/026/2018 17:26:05 - INFO - Device disconnected
09/026/2018 17:26:06 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
Then you can just unplug it and turn it on.

Yes; one difference in my experience with flashtool might have been due to the fact that I had connected my XZ1C to my PC (Windows 10) using Xperia Companion first. I think that ensured that the proper Sony drivers would be in place before attempting to use flashtool. But I'm not sure.
In any case, I have restored the default USA firmware to the XZ1C, as using DE or UK, etc. seemed to restrict my ability to send group text messages (has to do with USA carrier protocols, I guess), and I don't need a fingerprint sensor at this time.

I also used Xperia Companion beforehand on Windows 10, but I had to add the drivers nonetheless. Unsure of the reason it worked for you here. Future flashers will know both ways, though
With Customized_DE (before and after flashing), fingerprint sensor still works for me. Not quite sure, but I believe there are legal restrictions about that in the USA ? As for group text message, I have not tried yet. You mean sending a text to multiple people, or having actual synchronized group discussion using texts ? I thought it was impossible.

What I meant was:
Sending a text (with or without image) to a group of people, and have everyone see everyone's replies.
This seems only to be possible (when used in USA on AT&T carrier) when I have the default USA firmware flashed onto the phone. If I use the DE firmware, for instance, I can send a "mass message" to multiple recipients, but then cannot attach an image, and all subsequent replies are private, i.e. between two parties.
A while back I got in a big fight with this phone (H8314 on Verizon) where I wanted to roll back to a previous version. Eventually I ended up flashing 52.1.A.0.672 and the phone worked fine. Today I decided to apply the latest update (52.1.A.3.49) and I THOUGHT that I remembered how to do it, but apparently I missed a step or something, and I need help figuring out what I've done wrong.
Here's the sequence of events:
1) When I flashed to 52.1.A.3.49, the network signal is gone (SIM is still recognized though, as it gives me the LTE bars, just no actual network signal) and WiFi was really intermittent.
2) Flashed back to 52.1.A.0.672 (which I had been on previously) and the problem persisted, still no network signal and bad WiFi
3) Used EMMA to revert to Sony stock, but all they have available is 51.1.A.11.51 (which is Android 8!) and now the network signal and WiFi works fine.
4) Tried flashing back to both versions of Android 10 and still had the same problem with network and WiFi
My exact procedure for flashing was:
1) Download firmware from Xperifirm through Flashtool
2) Make sure flashmode and fastboot drivers are installed in Flashtool
3) Delete all .TA files from firmware (both in main and boot folder) and unpack partition into partition folder
4) Copy+paste all firmware files into the newflasher folder
5) Connect phone in flashmode (volume up + plug in)
6) Run Newflasher; hit 'n' for no three times at start, and once in roughly the middle of the install
7) Close Newflasher and reboot phone.
What am I missing?? Is it something to do with the bootloader? Mine was unlocked at some point but now I'm really not sure how to tell what its status is. Something appears to be locking the SIM/network though and I know it's not an issue with the firmware itself (since one version of it was installed and working fine earlier today) so it has to be user error somewhere along the line...
Thanks!
