if your phone cannot connect to fastboot and flashmode..or you cant flash your stock firmware..it means it is in soft brick condition..Do not worry..cwm must be running...sometimes you are also unable to install flashable zip of your firmware to mobile using cwm.(if cwm is also not opening, then its a kernel infection known as hard brick.play it a dummy or use its warranty if possible).I have a solution for this.. download flashable doomkernel (v4 or any other version)..now download the rooted kernel.elf for xperia sp ...it can be of any old or latest firmware ..now open doomkernel.zip from your computer..extract all content in a folder (say krnl)..replace kernel.elf (of the extracted folder) to thekernel you downloaded before...name must be kernel.elf...now again make a zip of modified data having replaced kernel
All you have to do is to flash this zip to your fone using cwm...

This is the latest Flashtool 0.9.13.0:
Download here: http://ul.to/sb8cfqyr
Flashtool is a S1 flashing software that works for all Sony phones from X10 to Xperia Z Ultra. They all use the S1 protocol for flashing firmwares.
This program was originally made to flash sin files downloaded by SEUS or PCC. From time to time, sin files have been bundled into what is now well known FTF (Flash Tool Firmwares). That is the core of Flashtool and the reason of its name.
Flashtool can also easily unlock the bootloader of the phone using the BLU icon as far as the bootloader of your phone is unlockable
The flashing feature as well as bootloader unlock feature are available whatever the phone is recognized or not by the application. What is only mandatory for flashing is to own the FTF file according to the device you want to flash it on.
Why should I use flashtool ?
Once bootloader unlocked, official sony tools do not work anymore.
Using official sony tools, you can only upgrade. No downgrade possible.
Using flashtool, you can choose what to flash and what not to flash. This said, many rooting scenarios are available implying kernel only downgrade to retrieve a patched rooting exploit and then flash back the right kernel.
You said unlocking bootloader ?
This process gives you the opportunity to flash custom roms such as CyanogenMod ROMs.
I invite you to visit the FXP Project that brings CM to xperia devices.
Many other features have been built-in so that Flashtool can also be used to (as far as the phone is recognized by Flashtool) :
Root your phone
Install recovery, busybox, custom kernels
Clean your rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
Clear dalvik cache
Optimize (install of JIT v2) (plugin for 2.1 phones only from 2010 line)
Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
Edit any text file on the device
Rebrand your device

This is the zip file that needs to be flashed using Customer Recovery,
There are various post on how you can have custom recovery on your phone,
but make sure which is the exact model of Z1 you have first there are various types in it am using Z1 C6902 varient.
1. i used Kingroot to root my device
2. installed BusyBox
3. Backup DRM Keys using TA Backup tool and fallow the instructions
4. Unlock Bootloader
5. Flash Custom Recovery like TWRP/CWM/Philz.
as i havent found a suitable ftf for my c6902 yet so is flashing this zip different from flashing ftf in flashtool? can i flash it from lineage os 14? thanks
Hard Bricked, No powering on, No charging up, Not detectable in PC
Hi there,
I have hard-bricked my Sony Xperia Z1 C6902. Now I am not able to do anything with the set. I have tried to enter into emergency mode by using Testpoint and s1tool. It is successfully installed the drivers but when I tried flashing the firmware. I am getting an error "A device attached to this system is not functioning".
Does anyone have any idea of how to unbrick the set using testpoint and s1tool?? or any other alternate methods to bring the phone back into life??
Any help is much appreciated.
I need BR
My phone gets bricked everytime I use non-brazilian ftf's, can you please help me finding it?
P.S.: There's a post around, but the file is undownloadable...

This is very good guide. Only way to obtain root and recovery on locked bootloader is downgrading to kitkat getting root and recovery. Then flash pre-rooted marshmallow firmware and you're good to go
If u could obtain working recovery in locked bootloader,then u can use this method.
U may get that by downgrading to 4.4
Thanks
Didnt work

How to reanimater your mate after bootloap???
We have 2 methode for now.
Firts it's restore twrp backup and secend its fastboot and downgrade pack
If you use twrp backup and its work very good for you but if dont work you must use fastboot method
1. Power off device and go to fastboot
2. Extract file from update.app for lollipop :
- system
- cust
- boot
- recovery
- userdata
for Marshmallow extract :
- system
- cust
- boot
- recovery
3. Install adb drive from this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
and copy all file to C:/adb on your windows
4. Open CMD as administator and write this commads
cd C:/adb
adb fastboot
Now you on fastboot mode
When you extract file frome update.app you must rename file :
10.boot.img to boot.img
11.recovery.img to recovery.img
13.cust.img to cust.img
14.system.img to system.img
If you remane you can flash img file using fastboot methode using cmd
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
It's take very long but wait. When its finish take micro sd adapter and put you micro sdcard and connect to pc and copy full rom :
If you use lp file because you have bootloop on lp you must flash that same rom what you flash file using fastboot
and do it that same for marshmallow
when you copy put your adapter to slot of microsdcard in your mate7
Now power of your phone and try go to flash method using 3 bottom on you mate7
VOL+ POWER + VOL- when you seescreen on realese power and wait. Now you see how rom its flash.
If you have error you must use downgrade pack from mm to lp and flash.
When its flash you must flash lp.
If you have error you must use downgrde pack from lp to kk and flash.
When its finish you must flash kk rom.
Now you back to rom after bootloop and you can try again flash rom what you want.
Finish guide for noob
Cheers :highfive:
Thanks for the guide. I want to restore to MM from kk using twrp? Is it possible? I only wait 5 minutes after restore reboot then I think something must be wrong so I restore my own backup. I will give a try again.
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app
No you can't do it you must first flash kk second lp and then you flash mm

Hi buddy, your guide is gold. I explain what i did up to now. I wanna know how to proceed safely.
1) 2 year old MT7-L09 Mate 7. Long time ago i go bootloader unlocked, rooted and updated to lollipop stock. dont know which firmware version.
2) TWRP 2.8.7.0. Wanted to factory reset after long time no using the phone, ended up wiping OS and god knows what else.
3) Can access fastboot and TWRP.
4) Tried stock recovery and 3 button method to downgrade or install stock update.app. Nothing worked it always got stuck at 90%.
Up to there nothing worked. I guess i must have damaged some critical files.
Then i found your guide and wanted to try making a lollipop restore from TWRP. Found a file.
Now, if i understood what you have written in red, i may have wiped oem information like country and vendor. Maybe thats because i cant install stock from huawei.
How can i restore that info? is there any way i can backup my bootloader info, or retrive my country and vendor info?
How do you suggest me to proceed safely.
Thanks
Sebastian

Im form Argentina. Phone was bought in US. I dont mind putting any country version as long as i can bring it back alive.
Luckily i have saved phone imei, serial number and id in evernote. Maybe that can help to figure it out.
Do you have a procedure or guide to do that you are suggesting?
if you have unlocked bootloader you can try use SRKToolHuawei-Lod-Chong-V2.0-20161002 to change oem info and then try flash correct your rom using dload method. But if you change region you must unlock again bootloader but when you go to fastboot you have unlocked. Unlock again because its locked
