I "accidently" wiped my entire phone (dalvik,system,cache,data,internal) in twrp recovery because i was stuck in a bootloop and installed envi-rom 0.2B and the phone was able to boot normally and get the phone working again.

After getting my phone to turn on and working again i wasn't able to use flashtool and it looks like this:

05/042/2014 14:42:11 - INFO - Flash canceled

LED blinks red,green, then turns off and flashtool doesn't detect it all.
Afterwards i need to use the power button and volume up key to turn off the phone and reboot.
I also tried via sony pc companion and the phone update itself to update and get 17.1.2.A.0.314 but that didn't work either.
Occasionally flashtool gets stuck on installftkit:
05/010/2014 14:10:37 - INFO - Checking root access
05/010/2014 14:10:43 - INFO - Root Access Allowed

05/010/2014 14:10:44 - INFO - Running installftkit as root thru sysrun

So i can't update by flashing, pc companion, or via phone. It would also work if anyone knows how i can update without flashing.
-Sorry for long post, just wanted to provide some background info.

Im having a similar issue!
Except i cant even boot up my phone, it shows sony logo, then goes to the boot animation sound but the screen is black.
I need to get my phone into flashmode for pcompanion to repair it, but when i try to, the led flashed red, green and off, very quickly.

Yeah pressed those buttons and tried the options i found on other threads (re-installing drivers, using different pc, etc.) still nothing. I don't have the original wire that came with the phone but i doubt that has an impact.

Make sure usb debugging mode is on for a start.

Pick the firmware you want to flash and let it prepear.

When it comes up saying please connect your phone. Make sure your phone is off. While plugging the USB into the phone hold down the vol down button. It will then connect and proceed to flash the firmware

Sorry i don't think you noticed it was on in my post:
"05/041/2014 14:41:04 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging on"

But yeah, apparently usb debugging turns off or something of the sort?

That's not the issue, I'm already on rooted unlocked bootloader. My problem is I can't update through phone, pc, or flashtool.
If it means anything the noise canceling isn't working anymore either so I think it might be that those original system files are gone. (for the noise canceling, flashing, and maybe other stock functions I haven't noticed)

Hope that helps anyone get an idea of the situation.
