Make sure you are using the latest flashtool as well

No, I have downloaded it from here: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/41-sony-xperia-z-ultra-c6833
In fact, I'm trying to switch from GPe to monx .757 and I've read that I should flash .757 with flashtool first, then flash monx .757
After flashing the stripped FTF, how do I flash monx? via recovery? since it's a .zip fileDoing that way is safer
What you need is baseband, kernel, elabel, etc so one of the stripted FTFs from here should be fine http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712899 just use the one for your model.
After flashing the FTF you will need to get recovery again, so either DooMKernel or jackie099's
If you do flash a stripped FTF the phone will be in an unbootable state untill you get a Sony system on to it (ie monx or Sony)

The other way of cause is to flash monx then the FTF, that will mean less farting about. Then if you feel the need you can flash DooMKernel at a later date
Well, I've told myself, why not give blueether's carbon rom a try! I installed it and then I wanted to move to monx .757 now I'm stuck with cmw not starting aroma installer on monx .zip and I dunno why I don't have TWRP to restore my previous nandroids.You should be able to flash monx from the GPe rom, then flash the stripped FTF on top from flashtool.
