Trouble flashing Stock Firmware

Please excuse me, if this was discussed earlier or on another place.

I have had installed in 2015 CM 12.1 on Xperia-Z (C6603) and it did work fine over the years.
When I made my experiences at that times, I could even flash Original Stock Firmware with Sony-Flashtool "Emma".

Now, some days ago, I switched to the TWRP-patched boot image, and it even worked fine.
Then I installed LineageOS 14.1, ... and it even worked fine.

But now I tried to flash Original firmware back, and neither Androxyde Flashtool (it says, it's the wrong firmware), nor "Emma", nor flashing this "C6603_5.1.1_Pre-Rooted_Firmware.zip" works.

All the time the installation runs clean end ends without error, but after that the system does not boot. It's reproducable.

Installing with fastboot the TWRP-boot-image again and installing LOS 14.1 again, works fine again.

What am I doing wrong, when going back to StockROM?
Nevertheless, booting into recovery (even into Philz, after installing "C6603_5.1.1_Pre-Rooted_Firmware.zip") after installing works correctly. But it behaves, as if there were NO operating system then.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Hey brother I had the same issue. The solution for it is to downgrade to 4.4.4 and the install 5.1.1 through Emma tool. It works!

Be sure to flash the correct ftf from your region. And use an older flashtool version.

Thanks, but.... where to find the 4.4.4? And how to flash? Emma just only shows the one and only 5.1.1 and that didn't work.

Search in this forum for the .ftf file for the c6603 LTE

Flash it with androxyde's flashtool 0.9.16.x

After that let it boot and update it with Emma tool to 5.1.1 PM me if you have any issues.
