Are you connecting your phone in flashmode?
And like it says there,make sure that you have the correct drivers
Yes in flashmod, but i have inatall correct driver, if not then please give a correct link to download the driver..

downloading prerooted 5.1.1 for c6602
As @cdou2391 mentioned in the beginning of this post ,
I am downloading 5.1.1 prerooted for my c6602 (bootloader Locked) and about to flash FTF by FlashTOOL (0.9.19.10).
i am running 5.1.1 on my c6602 , officially updated by Sonycompanion
however, i have seen you advising someone to downgrade first to 5.0.2 then use kingroot then install recovery...
he was also running his xperia on 5.1.1. my question is, why cant he just simply flash it prerooted ftf file?
or
Am i about to do something wrong?
waiting for your quick response

Because the ftf isn't pre-rooted.The pre-rooted is the zip file.That's the one you have to flash via recovery if you want to keep root.As @cdou2391 mentioned in the beginning of this post ,

If you flash the ftf file via flashtool,you will lose root if you had it.
is it possible for u to upload prerooted ftf file? i don't wana unlock my boot
also i tried many times, my c6602 does not go into recovery, while phone is switched off, held power+volume down button for quiet long time.,
pink led thing never happend..
bascally xperia c6602 on 5.1.1 doesn't go in to safe/recoverymode
U don't hav to unlock your bootloader to have recovery.And the ftf can not be pre-rooted.
And without previously installing recovery,u can not access what doesn't exist.
The only way to have root and recovery on 5.1.1 is to go back to 5.0.2,root it,install recovery then flash the pre-rooted u find here
you are 100%

Follow the guide here since it's the kernel your article is talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-ub-t3198491
bro question
1. after rooting as per this article
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/sony-xperia-z-and-zl-android-5-1-1-root-and-twrp-recovery-83929/
what if i LOCK by bootloader again with FLASHTOOL?
2. what will happened ?
3. will it delete my data again and i will loose my rooting? twrp recovery will be gone?
Am not sure,but i think u'll get a bootloop.let me try it and I'll let u know.
I would advise u to make a backup before trying it out,just in case something goes wrong.
Edit:
Result: Do not try it.
After flashing the pre-rooted and locking the bootloader,the phone refused to boot.I had to unlock it again then restore the backup i made before starting all these sheninigans
