I assume you're using the latest version of Flashtool and you've re-downloaded your FW's (maybe from a different source). After that I can't help anymore. I'm assuming you've hard powered it off (vol+/power 10secs) and retried.

seems that flashing the Kernel is what making this problem
make sure you are running the latest FlashTool maybe it can fix your issue

Can I ask you what 4.3 TFT you tried to flash ? where did you download it from? . All the necessary files for bootloader update contains inside the 'boot' folder. Can you open your tft file with WinRAR and see if there's a folder name boot inside the package and that folder should contain these files

I tried few 4.3 available in forum.. but the ones i force more was "C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Commercial_And_Journalists" and "C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Generic PT", if any one can help me to upgrade my boot compiling only files to do that,
I will definitely give shot to try

How to Flash a Firmware using Flashtool (for beginners)

I made a quick Tutorial for flashing Android 7.0 Nougat for beginners.
For those who want a detailed Tutorial:
Step by step:
(1) Open up Flashtool (check if you have v.0.9.23.0 installed).
Remember you can only flash a Android 7.0 Firmware when you have v.0.9.23.0 installed!
(2) Click the thunder symbol.
(3) Choose Flashmode.
(4) Choose your Firmware that you've downloaded.
(5) Check the Wipe Box, if you want to make a complete fresh install check all things in this Box.
(6) Put your phone into flashmode by first powering it off and then by pressing the volume down button on your phone when plugging in.
(7) After flashing start your Sony Xperia XZ.
Now I don't want to see any threads or posts about how to use Flashtool
If I helped you press thanks

That's a good little tutorial.. How about re-locking bootloader and restoring you TA back up. That would be a better one.

Hello. I'm using Xperia XZ Dual, F8332. I'm currently trying to downgrade my phone in order to root it, but I can't even flash firmware using Flashtool. it appears that Flashtool did not detect my USB debugging setting.
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
I'm positive I've turned on USB debugging on developer options and authorized my computer for USB debugging. anyone can help me?

Did you manage to solve this problem? I had the same issue and I had to use Xperia Companion's software repair to unbrick the device and to install its original firmware. I'm trying to flash a firmware from another region with less bloatware and faster Android updates.

Hello, I have the same problem as the one above and I already did everything that they explained and I can not flash.
Some help?

I had issues due to automatic encryption on first boot. I'm UB and rooted. So this doesn't matter for 100% stock.
After flashing stock firmware, and before first boot, I flashed Androplus kernel and recovery via adb fastboot flash boot boot.img (and recovery too via fastboot). No issues, and very stable with stock rom. Otherwise TWRP and Magisk had issues with encryption when I booted with stock kernel and later flashed custom kernel.

[Tutorial][Oreo][2.24] Step-by-step guide to gain root access properly

Please see note section before doing anything.
Though all the instructions are updated, you may want
to read through all comments.
For Oreo (both models), patch this after flashing custom kernel
View attachment drmfix.zip
in the recovery BEFORE booting into system.
Before start you need to install USB driver (for Windows). If it's not working, try using Androxyde's driver instead.
To flash stock image (not required, just for newer firmware or fingerprint support)
1. Download latest Flashtool. *make sure you patch x10flasher.jar to latest version by replacing it in your installation directory (mine was 0.9.23.2).
2. Download G82XX support for Flashtool from this thread (thanks IcemanSu)
3. Extract the file to "C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\devices\G82XX".
4. Launch Flashtool, select Devices > Manage > Import. It should say "Loaded 95 devices" (before is 94).
2. Thanks to Androxyde, device list now includes G82XX on github so skip those steps.
3. Click Xperifirm icon (XF rightmost icon below toolbar), find and download firmware.
4. Tools > Bundle > Create. Select your firmware, choose all content then Create . If it says "a fsc script is found..." click Yes. (I tried choosing no and I cannot flash system partition (system.sin finished with errors).
5. Start devices in flash mode (hold vol. down and connect USB until LED blinking green).
6. Click Flash icon (first one) in Flashmode, select all content from bundle you created then Flash. Again, if it ask to use .fsc script, click Yes. It should finish without error.
*Device list from Github hasn't updated yet. So if you flash 41.3 (Oreo), make sure you duplicate 41.2.fsc to 41.3.fsc in C:\Users\%HOMEPATH%\.flashTool\devices\G82XX
7. Done, you can try booting to test if it works.
Starting from locked bootloader
1. Check "OEM unlocking" under developer options.
2. Unlock bootloader - follow instruction from this link. *Select Xperia XZ, it requires same unlock code as XZs. ** Data including internal storage will be wiped like typical Sony unlocking. Make sure you do some backup copy your important files out before proceed.
3. Enter fastboot - press vol. up the moment you connect USB. LED should be blue light.
4.1 Flash kernel with DRM patch *the kernel is specific to firmware version (not customizations) , so it will bootloop if you flash the wrong version.
41.3.A.2.24
41.3.A.0.401
41.2.A.7.76
41.2.A.7.65
41.2.A.7.53
41.2.A.4.35 dual sim
41.2.A.7.8 -.235
4.2 Flash TWRP (XZ still work perfectly) as recovery.
For new people, you can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Do "fastboot flash recovery <twrp_name>.img" and "fastboot flash boot <kernel_name>.img".
5. Once you installed recovery, give it a try. Enter recovery by holding power and vol. down when the phone is off (no LED).
6. Root your phone - Transfer SU flashable zip (only systemless for now, either Magisk with sony fix or SuperSU) to anywhere in the phone (MTP in recovery, OTG, external, or just boot up and download)
7. Install zip in recovery. If you can't mount internal and install SU, doing factory reset (format data) will remove encryption and do the trick. Magisk might work with encrypted data*see note below about magisk installation
8. Enjoy!
Note
(September 15 2017) To install Xposed
Don't install it with TWRP. Just install the module in Magisk Manager and you'll be fine.
(August 20, 2017) To disable force data encryption
I think I passed safety net by install magisk inside /data (with patched kernel).
Take a look at my thread. I also wrote how to modify it, so you can just download .img or do it yourself.
(July 31, 2017) To fix the green camera & other rooting problems on any firmware version ie. To use rootkernel tool (thanks tobias.waldvogel) to patch drm/ric fix.
Follow instruction from his thread.
TL;DR
- Download zip in the attactments and extract.
- Extract kernel.sin (using any archive manager eg. 7zip winrar) from your .ftf firmware.
- In Flashtool, use tool -> sin editor and extract your kernel.sin into .elf.
- Move your kernel image.elf in the same directory you just extracted.
- (Windows) Shift + right click -> open command windows here in the extracted directory and run "rootkernel <extracted elf> boot.img" (Linux) Just use terminal, cd to that directory and do the same.
- Select Y for everything except busybox.
- Done! you got patched kernel image.
(July 11, 2017) To make it compatible with magisk 13+
- Use the kernel with both DRM and RIC Protection patches so that it works well with magisk 13.1 and gets working camera.
Make sure you uninstall old version using uninstaller through TWRP or flash fresh kernel, wipe cache, install new one, then install latest magisk manager because it was made only for newer version.
If you have question or something goes wrong, feel free to ask me or other nice guys on XDA!
Thanks for everyone who contributes these contents.

Nicely written tutorial!
The kernel isn't required. You could just unlock bootloader and flash magiskv12sonyfix directly and get root + pass in safetypass but causes the pictures you take to become green images.
The kernel from arjun.arora has DRM-fix embedded which solves the camera problem but then it doesn't pass in safetypass in magisk. Rather a working camera than a pass I guess.
Personally I flashed TWRP-3.0.2-4 because it mounts internal+external while the newest version only mounts external.

WOW! It works perfectly. Thank you so much!

If you use magisk, let me know if it passes safetynet test or not. Thanks.

It does if you skip the kernel but once you flash the kernel it doesn't pass anymore.

Before I flashed this kernel, it didn't pass and got green screen too lol.

I tried a bunch of combination but everytime I flashed magisk directly after fresh new fw flash it passed, as soon as I flashed the kernel and then magick it stopped passing.
So for me, if I flashed magisk first it passes but then I get green image so I have to flash kernel and then magisk but then I lose safetypass, oh well .
Obviously not worth losing camera over safetypass.

Is X-Reality working with arjunarora DRM kernel? and where is the link to that kernel?

Did you patch Flashtool to latest version? I didn't try 0.9.23.1 but using 0.9.23.2 did work. Simply replace x10flasher.jar in the directory you installed with new one.
It flashed nothing and there might be a problem reading that bundle.
Hope this helps!

This one will work https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634 as you can see v20 comfirmed working https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72484790&postcount=152 . If any question go to my thread and ask :good:

finally done flashing firmware.
but after i flash kernel and twrp, i get 0mb internal
6. Boot into system. *When it ask to require PIN/Pattern at boot, SELECT NO. Otherwise, your device will be encryped and unable to install Magisk because TWRP won't let you mount internal. Download SU flashable zip (either Magisk with sony fix or SuperSU).
i don't have NO to select, only CANCEL and change language
and now im stuck at twrp

Flashing firmware wipes almost everything, including internal. So it's normal to have 0 mb.
You will see this prompt only If you set PIN or Pattern. It should be fine not to set passcode. You can flash magisk right after flashing recovery through MTP or external.
If magisk fail to install just do factory reset. This will remove data encryption.

Try again after factory reset and wait a bit longer.
If not, looks like system is missing. Did you flash system correctly? Try booting into recovery. In mount, check your system partition size and tell me if its 0 mb or not.
Can you also send me flashtool log?

Did you flash TWRP as recovery, not system?
Recovery should be launched when you hold power and vol. down. System is launched when you hold power like normal boot. Sorry, I will be on board very soon. Coming back around 6-7 hours. You can leave any message here.

problem solved
the problem was everytime i flash recovery, my phone wont boot
so i hotboot recovery, flash supersu with twrp. done. root success

Thanks for your confidence but I am no god in these matters :laugh:
I have not used FlashTool for ages now as it's broke on my Linux distro and is missing some of the .png's.
I mostly use the command line xflasher tool. :good:
From the log it seems like you only flashed the boot area (Preloader, LK, etc) you should really choose to flash ALSO the boot/kernel, fotakernel, system, userdata and cache if it exists from the same package.
Make sure you select them for flashing, you have to choose them manually using the "exclude" option box. (Exclude SECRO if its giving you problems)
For userdata just ticking wipe userdata will add the userdata for you.
I found this old screenshot example so everything in "Under "Content"" would get flashed
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things May look or of changed slightly since this version screenshot but the principal will probably be the same.
If yours looks drastically different point me to a image that looks like yours.

You could just try another firmware package using FlashTool. Sometimes the Packages can be corrupted during download or extraction.

Somebody helps me please...

I bought a Sony Z3 (SOL26 AU) from my friends 3 days ago.
After that, I started to flash the lastest stock for the phone. But the weird thing is no matter I use which version of Flashtool, I can not flash the 23.5.A.1.291 ftf to my phone.
If I use the flashtool-0.9.15.0, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it will show - ERROR - - INFO - Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled.
If I use the Flashtool 0.9.18.6, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it will show - ERROR - root : this bundle is not valid.
If I use the Flashtool 0.9.34.0, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it shows

Does anybody help me with this situation??? I had tried it for 3 days which made me mad....
Btw, I can use any version of Flashtool to flash the KK stock ftf successfully... I don't understand why...The stock ftf I had change 3 version, but lead to the same error.....

hey, i dont very good with english, but you verify before the model of the FTF? in the log your phone is identified with the number D6603 ( idont know is the ftf model info or the actual device), the FTF must match the same model number. hope this helps...
