I recently switched from xperia m to xperia l. I had no problem with xperia m but sonce i got xperia l, i cannot copy files from my pc to the phone. When i try to copy files, they get corrupted and i cannot open any files. But when i use a sdcard reader rather than the phone itself, there is no problem. I used both MSC and MTP modes. The MTP mode gives "devices has stopped responding" error and MSC corrupts any files. What could cause the problems?

Hi guys.
Today I downloaded and installed Flashtool (0.9.19.10). I then browsed to C:/Flashtool and here there is no Firmware folder, therefore I cannot add the FTF for flashing. All I see is:
customer (folder)
drivers (folder)
x10flasher_lib (folder)
FlashTool
FlashTool64
stdout
uninstall
x10flasher
Where is the Firmware folder? Am I missing something? Could my Anti-Virus be deleting the Firmware folder?
I see a link for Patch (0.9.19.10). Do I need to install this patch? If so, how do I install it?
I need to downgrade my current firmware build, so that I can root my Sony Xperia Z3, in order to enable USB ports, amongst other tweaks I want to do.
Apologies if my question has been asked, however I have searched the net, and could not find an answer.
Also, I have read that there may be driver issues, once I get passed this current problem. Therefore, I am pre-empting by asking for instructions on how to install the correct drivers for Sony Xperia Z3.
Phone: Sony Xperia Z3
PC: HP Elitebook 6930p
Operating System: Windows 10
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

1. Yes you have to copy/ replace the old firmware (x10flasher_lib) with Patch (0.9.19.10)
2 The firmware folder is in C:/users/"comp. name"/.flash tool/firmwares----- the ftf file is to be placed there.
3 Good news: you don't have to downgrade now, the latest (NewKingrootV4.80) will root the phone in lollipop 5.1.1 (tried and tested).

Kingoroot also copies and sends your imei number to somewhere in China.
Thanks guys for your valuable advice.
Ideally, I would like to use the NewKingRoot application method. However, this leads to the obvious question - What is the safest way to root my device, Downgrading firmware with Flashtool or using NewKingroot application?
Are there any other 'safe' root applications that can be used for Sony Xperia Z3?
Appreciate your help guys.

Your best bet is to go to kitkat, use giefroot rooting tool, use xz dual recovery tool, then flash a Rom with root and recovery or create a pre rooted ftf with Flashtool/xperifirm. Theres tons of guides around to help you.
Brilliant.
Thanks guys for your advice.
Will be looking at KitKat and Giefroot, although Kingroot is tempting.
A noob question - "What is the purpose of the xz dual recovery tool?"
I was under the impression that all that was needed is the rooted firmware flashed using flashtool.
Are these the steps i need to follow: (please correct me if i am wrong)
Download a rootable firmware D6603_23.0.A.2.93
Flash this firmware using Flashtool
Run Giefroot to root my Xperia Z3
Cheers.

You cannot flash a rooted firmware with flashtool..
The recovery is what you use to flash pre-rooted firmwares in the form a .zip file.
Before you use kingroot you should do your research. During the process it will send your IMEI number to an ip address in china.
I suggest flashing a KK FTF with flashtool, root using giefroot, install recovery then flash any pre-rooted firmware you want in recovery.

All links are in the post below, but you cant use androplus kernel unless you have an unlocked bootloader.

Really appreciate the info and links guys.
Unfortunately I am not able to get past the driver Flashtool driver installation.
I select Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Driver and Xperia Z3 Device Driver, then select install.
I then get the red ticks next to Sony Net, Google Inc, Sony Ericsson.
Bear in mind, my PC is on Windows 10. Is Windows 10 supported for Flashtool? Do I have to deactivate something in Win10, like in Win8?
This is so frustrating!
Please help!

That should fix it. Feel free to hit the thanks button under helpful posts.
Really appreciate all the help you guys have provided so far.
Now I've got a new problem.
All I am trying to do is enable to HS-USB ports (diag, serial, modem) on the Windows 10 machine, so that I can ADB into my Sony Xperia Z3.
Device Manager is displaying exclamation marks next to several entries of D6603 (see attached screenshot).
So guys this is what I have done so far:
I downloaded the Z3 drivers from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z3-driver/
In Device Manager I right clicked on the first D6603 entry and pointed to the Z3 drivers and tried to install the driver but it is not recognised? This happens with the other D6603 entries too. I know I am doing something stupidly wrong here.
Where do I go from here? This is really frustrating.
I also installed Sony PC Companion but that has not helped.
Once again, I am asking for any help to fix this seemingly simple (difficult for me) task.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys.
This is so frustrating.
I have stumbled across another problem. On Windows 10 device manager, I can see several entries of D6603 each with an exclamation mark. I guess this is because of Z3 (D6603) drivers?? Well, I downloaded Z3 drivers from the Sony developers site, however the drivers are not recognised??
I need to activate the HS-USB ports so that I can ADB. Am I using the correct drivers?
Does anyone know, how I can overcome this please?
Also, is there a particular place win Windows, where you have to extract the Z3 drivers to, like System32?
After reading on the net, I may have to do the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su
/system/bin/port-bridge /dev/smd0 /dev/ttyGS0 & setprop persist.usb.eng 1
And this should start the automatic usb driver installation on Windows?? Can anyone confirm this is the correct procedure?
Thanks in advance.
I too am running Windows 10. You have to go into recovery - advanced - startup and select "disable signed driver check" (or something like that) then you can install drivers etc.
The firmware folder is now under (users - username - flashtool)
If you use xperifirm the ftf file creations will automatically go to the right location

Hi gwithrow.
Thanks for your advice.
I went into recovery on my pc and selected "Disable signed driver.........", However, still when I connect my Xperia Z3, there is no automatic driver prompt or installation??
So I decided to start again today:
Downloaded and flashed firmware version 23.0.A.2.93 for D6603.
Ticked the following - USB debugging, Allow mock locations and Unknown sources.
Unticked Verify apps.
Downloaded giefroot tool v3.1.
Rooted Xperia Z3 successfully.
Downloaded ES file explorer and mount /system rw successfully.
Downloaded z3 Dualrecovery and installed ndr utils successfully, Xperia Z3 rebooted to twrp.
(Should I upgrade now to D6603_23.4.A.1.200_Generic-UK_dualrecovery2.8.21_SuperSU-v2.46.zip and install with twrp?)
Using USB cable, I connected Xperia Z3 to my pc and still no driver prompt or automatic installation??
All I want to do is activate the HS-USB Android Diag/Serial ports.
Is there another way to do this??
Am I missing something?
I downloaded the drivers from the Sony and Google sites. However, the drivers are of no use if the PC does not prompt for them!
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first .
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
