Getting FlashTool to recognize phone in flashmode

[toderive]

I'm not sure this is the right spot for this but...

I am having trouble getting FlashTool to recognize my phone once I get it into flashmode right before the process of flashing. I Goofed and accidentally wiped everything, including system in TWRP. I had downloaded replacement stock system from XperiFirm and got it ready with FlashTool. I installed the flashtool drivers as well as the modified google USB driver that Sony gives you when unlocking the boot loader. I get the phone is flashmode by plugging the phone in while holding down the volume down key, and I get the constant green notifacation LED. But FlashTool does not move past the point of telling me to enter flashmode.

Essentially what i'm trying to do at this point is just get stock software back on my XZP. From what I can tell this is the only way possible that I have found. I do have TWRP up and working. If someone could help me get this figured out, or point me to another way to get the stock Sony software back on my phone I would appreciate it.

FlashTool doesn't support XZP.

You need to use NewFlasher but the dev has been banned so uh.
Heres an older version that works perfectly. I don't trust the newest version .

Go into fw folder, drop the content of the rar into the fw folder and then run NewFlasher.exe while in flashmode.
Should be like this, C:\Users\yourusername\.flashTool\firmwares\yourdownloadedfirmware

i flashed my HK to custom CE using older version of newflasher (as FP suggested earlier). only issue was getting the USB driver to load. i had to turn off driver signing enforcement to get it to install (there may be other workarounds but that's a quick way).
