So Guys i have to mod the Xperia Z of my GF after 2 years in warranty. I just take the code from Sony to unlock the bootloader using the terminal and android SDK, but my question is: is flashtool the only way to flash custom recovery? Can't i do in the same way like my Nexus 6 and just download the .img file and flash it from fastoboot mode? I did it for my old HTC, Moto G and most other phones, but never try on a Sony device
first time here with sony device....am trying to create a tft file..but the device selector is blank in flashtool...i downloaded the rom files from XF...?? what am i doing wrong...actually i flash tft files already...just that i want to go back to stock M...device is sony z3 d6603...
and the stock rom files are unpacked by XF...so i need to create the tft file...

When you download file by Xperia firmware download,it downloads as zip file.just rename it's extension from zip to ftf.then move the file to flashtool/firmware folder then flashtool will detect it.
A little help please buddys
Can anyone PLEASE give me a few instructions on how to flash the 575 kernel onto the Sony Z3C as I have read all I could find, but still don't understand where the options are within flashtool for kernel flashing.

Hi , I having a problem flashing my Sony Xperia V. It is in stock rom Android 4.3 but it has a problem with playing audio files, even the ringtones and notification sounds does not play, when I play a media file it says Sound Enhancement stops. So, i decided to root and unlock the bootloader and install the cwm 14.1 Tsubasa Resurrection Remix. But, after installing it it does not play any sounds like the previous stock rom. It always says Audio Fx stops . I even install Viper (Dolby) sound enhancement but no luck.
So, I flash it on its original stock rom Android 4.1 using Adroxyde's flashtool I successfully flash it but still it does not play any sound even using headphones. I also disassemble it and check the speakers, but it works properly when I use it with other phones.
So, agin I decided to flash it again and download a the latest stock ROM from XperiaFirm then flashed it. During flashing it stop on about 80% (I think) then it says
system.sin is not valid
so it stop flashing. Then, I remove the device and start to on it but it does not turn on and only red lights blinks . Then I assume it is already bricked.
I flash it again, it does goes to flash mode. But , the problem starts. Whenever I flash it again it always stop and says.
loader.sin is not valid
fotakernel.sin is not valid
kernel.sin is not valid
What should I do about this? I try to flash it hundred of times but it always stops with those file error. I tried to exclude them but error still stops flashing.
NOTE: I'm using Flashtool 0.9.18.6 (as recommended by some people)
I assume that XperiaFirm's firmwares does not have any error and also downloaded all the ftf files from it and flash it. But it always stop at
loader.sin is not valid

This thread was created initially by me when flashtool appear on market
In the beginning of the week i was contacted by G-FACE to offer his help cause he had created a thread similar to this one on a site of his country. He offered himself to translate and i´ll put the translation here.
Well, that wasn´t exactly how i see things. He do the job. He must take the credit for it
So, the next posts and despite the fact it appears like it was written/created by me that´s WRONG! He did it after contact mods and give him access to do so.
SO. Thank you G-FACE and thank HIM not me

RECOGNIZING YOUR PHONE
Download the latest version of Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ thanks to Androxyde & Bin4ry
The first and most important thing is to be sure that Flashtool recognizes your phone:
- Start Flashtool
- Connect the phone with the computer via USB cabel
- Wait till flashtool shows that your device is recognized. You will see your phone model on "Connected device:"
If you see in “Connected device” the name of your phone model you are good to go for next steps.
