I think i've brick my phone

Hi everyone,
I ask your help because my phone don't start. He's looping on sony logo....
SO i made some search and i try to restaure my phone thank to flash tool and a tft for my D2305 but it made nothing.
There's something i don't understand, during my search i see that D2305 don't support 4G but my phone recieve 4G....
The probleme has appear since i force the install of CM12 on it so.
I don't find any rom to flash thanks to CWM and flashtools don't work , what to do ?
Sorry for my english...

So you have a tft file with your stock firmware?
To flash it do the following as explained here: forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 .
You dont need any CWM to flash it. Just install the flashtool program on your pc and flash the tft. (Be sure to select wipe data and cache from the flashtool)

Only the D2303 is 4g the d2305 is only 3g and the ftf's are not cross compatible. If you flash the wrong one it could possibly brick your phone.
D2303 18.3.1.C.1.15 kk deodexed, rooted, philz touch recovery, xposed, z1 bravia engine 2 + x-reality+ z3 super vivid, viper audio

hi thank you, yes I have the good tft,
it's the 18.0.A.1.30 version for the D2305 ,global devices. It should work no ? (it shoudn't)
I do exactly what the tutorial say
EDIT for [email protected] :
I don't flash the wrong tft, i install a wrong zip through CWM (I do this removing the verification of the phone model in the instalation script).

Phone model check is there for a reason. Any model other than D2303 and D2306 will bootloop on CM12.

Okay but my phone can't be a d2305,because it receive 4g

Just use PC Companion and recover the phone. It will flash the correct OS version for your model (which should appear in the application). Don't mess up with FTF files if you're not even sure what model it is.

Help my xperia m2 is bootlooped

Good day,
I'm having problems with my xperia m2 because it is boot looped, i tried using flashtool and flashed the corresponding firmware but it still won't open. i also tried using PC companion provided by Sony to repair my unit but still no luck. I hope anyone can help me with my problem, and also i cannot boot into my recovery and i don't why. BTW my bootloader is still locked and i can't flash any custom kernel on it, i lost the box so i don't know it's IMEI.
Please help me with my problem thank you so much.

Explain more. Search on XDA how to post problem.
What you did? What rom you were? Etc.
When you flash ftf with Flashtool, you lost recovery.
Good Luck.

First of all: you need to have an unlocked bootloader and make sure that the roms you are trying to install are fully compatible with your model, and each rom have a different install method so doesn't matter what recovery you have

You don't need to ask the same question in multiple threads either. Best advice would be to leave your phone alone add you obviously have no idea what your doing

Download the official stock firmware for your phone.
Then open flash tool. Boot your phone into flash mode (Keep volume down pressed and then power button).
Select the firmware to flash. Once complete your phone should boot up normally.
(DATA WILL BE ERASED)

Use this link to download the firmware for your Z3 SOL 26 AU.

In flashtool select the location of your firmware and flash it while in flashmode.

It still keeps restarting? try flashing twrp recovery and wipe everything(Data,system,Internal,cache,dalvik). And install a custom ROM available for your device.
