Try these steps to get into flashmode so you can flash a FTF with flashtool:
Have flashtool setup and running with a c6833 FTF loaded and waiting for device
  1. Connect ZU to PC
  2. Hold the volume down key
  3. While doing the above press the red reset button under in the SIM card flap

That should kick it into flash mode
