Use your TA-Backup and reflash a firmware via flashtool (XL won't boot after restore of ta )

If you don't have your TA you cannot relock your bootloader.

yeah, but you've lost your DRM key. Congrats bro! By the way, you posted on the wrong section.
The right instructions is : Flashing the stock kernel > Restore TA.

Flashing .ftf doesnt lock your bootloader. AFAIK, you can always lock you bootloader even you didnt backup your TA before unlock it.
But even you lock you bootloader, OTA update will brick your device and break some functionality like download music info or Bravia Engine (for device that have BE I mean) because you have lost TA forever. Locking you phone back just in case you want your warranty back.
And yep, this thread should be in Q&A section.

Keep your battery out for 10 seconds. Put it back in. Hold volume down while connecting your phone to the computer.

Yes you can flash any region, but be careful to chose your model while there are two Xperia L 2105 and 2104. Anyway, if you can enter recovery try to make a full wipe then restart. If it doesnot work go for a Flashing FTF procedure
Thanks for your help. Factory reset didn't work but then I flashed ftf file and it worked. I just was little bit scared because it was the first time boot loop occurred to my Xperia L

Hello, is this how you supposed to root and flash it?
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install SuperSu through Recovery
3. Flash Stock Sony Rom
4. Flash CM12

Sorry for being rude, just woke up in bad mood...
The Safe way to root Z3 is to downgrade to KitKat, root it and use PRFCreator to make prerooted FW. You can find all the info here if you spend like 10 minutes of your life.

Using FlashTool
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
Why not just unlock the bootloader the official way, flash a custom recovery (Cyanogen, TWRP, etc.), and then flash SuperSU Update ZIP from there? It takes maybe 10 minutes, and apart from obtaining the unlocking code, it is pretty straightforward.

So i dont need to downgrade to nothing?
Also which ROM is the most stable and which custom recovery you reccomend on installing?

Because unlocking phone without having TA backup is irreversible process leading to loss of low light pictures quality and couple other DRM related issues. Downgrade to KitKat is safe way to keep your bootloader locked and possibility to backup TA.

AFAIK if you re-lock your bootloader then flash a stock FTF with FlashTool, TA is replaced with a working copy. I might be wrong though.

Problem of TA is that it is device specific, unique on each phone.

Not if it's the identical version... Although the error your receiving is common when this is the case.
Can you give a screenshot of the flash attempt from start to finish?

The version it shipped with not relevant, you must use the same version that is currently installed.
Were you able to successfully flash? Did you do the factory reset before starting the process (boot will fail if you don't)?

If the bootloader is locked (and oem unlocking was not previously enabled), you can't start recovery, and you can't flash the identical version via fastboot... Your device is bricked and needs to be repaired/replaced by Moto. You should contact their customer service.

Okk... I guess i have to now.
Hi All
My E6653 is no longer booting after freezing while running a custom rom. When I boot, it shows the Sony logo, then the light flashes red. It does not let me enter TWRP.
I have tried flashing original firmware using flashtool, repairing using xperia companion and the same issue happens.
I have tried flashing different custom kernels and TWRP versions. The only version of TWRP that works is TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AndroPlus but I cannot access the device through usb and adb does not work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I would be super grateful.
What have u done to make ur device freeze, and which kernel were u using before freezing?

Thanks for getting back to me. The phone froze while using the Plex app, and after I force rebooted, the boot issue happened.
I was running V2.3.3 of Xperia X ROM by _LLJY and the kernel that came with that custom rom.

Well the Rom's kernel which u were using does not include TWRP, just try one of these solutions :
1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.

- I tried this with 2 different official firmwares and no luck. I made sure I didn't exclude anything. It still gets stuck on the Sony logo
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.
- not 100% sure what to do with this. I don't have the original kernel patched with TWRP img inside. Is this something you have?

Try this: Install Androplus kernel and Twrp Recovery which comes with him.
Find flashable prerooted firmware for your model than connect phone to pc to transfer it when you are in Twrp and than wipe cache,dalvik and data and try to flash prerooted zip.

Still no luck. When the phone turns on, the light goes yellow, I hit:
VOL down - screen goes blank
VOL up - brightness increase of screen then goes off and the light flashes red

Tried this also. kernel and recovery seem to install fine. But when I press VOL up or down, it does not go into twrp.
I managed to get into TWRP using the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-3-0-2-cm-aosp-roms-t3373008 with AndroPlus kernel. But, cannot access the phones storage through computer. TWRP shows failed to mount /usb-otg (invalid argument).
