Thanks finally someone replied .. I'll let you know if mine works or not :)
It will work only if you have previously access to enable in security unknown sources and usb debagig.
How about for this one without the option to access security the phone is not butting and usb debagig and Unknown sources are not enable?
Any other solution to load FTF files?

Think you should make yourself a little more acquainted to FlashTool, it's worth the effort. You do not require any and all settings in the phone (it could even have the /data or /system partition wiped). There is no other tool and you don't need any other. :)

Thanks for your replay.
This xperia zl phone is not mine phone, I'm trying not to spend to much time on it and from other hand I would like to revive the phone. I did try to update few different FTF firmwares using FlashTool and sony pc companion.All this tools looks like working ,only Flash tool at the end was giving me the warning that to be able to use flashTool require to unable option in settings that makes me wondering.
After updating the TFT firmware the phone reacts exactly same way as before updating a firmware :after pressing power no vibration only red light blinks 3 times.I'm able go access download mode and by pressing volume up I can access as well fastmode (blue solid light) .When the phone is plug to charger it will show xperia logo for 2sec and bootloop.When I press reset button located inside close to card slots and plug the charger the pfone vibrates once , space 2 sec and vibrates 3 times .
Any help, idea how to revive the phone very much appreciate.
