D2303 flashmode broken - Sony Xperia M2

So I decided to flash a fresh ftf 4.4.4 (I flashed using flashtool at least 20 times on this device by now). I prepared the file and shut down the phone. While holding vol. down I plugged in the cable, the led blinks orange then green for a moment and goes off.
This is what flashtool says:
Code:

USB Debuging is ON and even the PC is authorized.
The strangest thing is that even PC companion can't update the software. As soon as it completes the download it shuts down the phone, but hangs with instructions how to enter flash mode (but the phone is already in flash mode)

Even the OTA update fails. It downloads the new firmware and restarts to update it (the green android with the loading bar below), but stops and reboots shortly after. As soon as it boots up it says failed to apply update, try again.
I tried 2 different PC's (both Win 7), but same result. The phone is on stock 4.3 at the moment and all the flash and adb drivers are installed (I flashed the 4.3 ftf few days ago on the same computer). Any toughs?

This is not needed anymore as I updated my original post. I removed broken links and put the new ones. I did not edit anything in new ones. Everything is stock.
The firmwares in my post are working. I tested them on my phone.
The problem was in broken link I took from one member.

[MIRO] Error flashing

So here I am.
My girlfriend was having random RAMDumps
so I figured out a rom would fix it somehow.
I installed gimlo, working etc.
Now after restarting it was stuck on the splash screen.
Can't access Recovery, but I can access Flash Mode and Fastboot.
Although fastboot is locked...
I can't get into the rom nor booting.
Only the splash screen.
No I was trying to flash the stock firmware through flashtool.
I tried flashing these:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
they all end up with this log:

and fastboot isn't recognized by my computer somehow...
(Fastboot devices shows nothing, and waiting for device takes aged)
I tried keeping out the battery for a night, no help.
Specs:
Flashtool version : 0.9.11.0 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00
Xperia Miro : ST23I Europe (Netherlands)
Recovery : TWRP
ROM : GIMLO
Fastboot and FlashMode both aren't recognized by my computer, but flashtool recognizes them differently though.
But it's just stuck at the splash..
any help?
Update:
Tried ST23i_4_0_4_xperia.ftf too.
ended up the same..
Maybe you should try using thr latest version of flashtool on a different system.
Alternatively, you can use sony pc companion or update service.

haven't tried another pc, and isn't it the latest version? I compiled it from source lawl
besides, Pc companion or update service don't recognize it o.o
keeps on this:
And green led is on (flash mode right?)
you compiled flashtool????
It looks like drivers problem.
Maybe this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044804 will help.
EDIT
I remember that I had problem with fastboot - I've installed some sony fastboot drivers, and it work until now..

[Solved] Help on downgrading to backup TA at E6633

Hello! I'm a little bit new here.
I'm trying to backup my TA before I unlock the bootloader and root my phone. I'm following this guide and I'm currently stuck on the downgrading part as I couldn't find a FTF file for my Z5 Dual (E6633). I did search around and found this but when I opened up Flashtool and looked at the firmwares, it was listed as E6653. I don't want to risk bricking my phone, so I'm posting this to ask for help and clarity. Should I downgrade just to backup my TA files? Do you guys have a legit FTF file of 32.0.A.6.152 for E6633? Thanks.

}
EDIT:
After searching around and confirming that the Universal TA Backup v2 works on 6.0.1 (Marshmellow) which the E6633 has a version for, I started to downgrade from there. Long story short, I succeeded in backing up my TA!
Here's a how-to step-by-step of what I did if ever you have the same device as me. Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6633)
Requirements:
- Flashtool
- Z5 Drivers
- Any E6633 firmware up to 6.0.1 (I used this)
- Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2
1. Place the firmware you downloaded at ..\.flashTool\firmwares. This is usually located at %userprofile%.
2. Open Flashtool. Let it do its thing if you ran it the first time.
3. Plug in your device. Flashtool should detect your device.
4. Click the lightning () icon. Leave it at flashmode, and press OK.
5. Select the firmware you've downloaded. If you downloaded what I used, select Central Europe 1 Generic > 32.1.A.1.185_R6C.
6. Tick all the options in Wipe Sin. Do not tick any other boxes in Wipe Misc TA, Exclude Sin & Misc TA.
7. Flash. Follow the instructions of what Flashtool tells you to do.
8. Setup your device.
9. Enable developer settings.
10. Turn on USB Debugging.
11. (Extract backupTA_v2.zip if you haven't before) Run backupTA.cmd.
12. If prompted by the device, allow USB debugging.
13. backupTA_v2 will tell you it's successful. To double-check, your TA.img should be approximately 2MB or 2,048KB.
