Sony Xperia Z3 Unable to Flash anything - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed Sony Xperia Concept Marshmallow Ftf. After that i was unable to flash anything using recovery. i thought that doing a full wipe including system could work but i got stuck with no os installed. Now i am stuck with no os in my device. Device switches on perfectly, enters fastboot, flashmode but still cannot flash anything except kernel images using flashtool when i try to flash in flashtool it just open ta partition 1 and dumps it and does the same for the ta partition 2. I just want to know if there is anyother way to flash os into my device. Thank you guys. Device Model: D6653,BL UNLOCKED AND RECOVERY INSTALLED. I HAVE THE TA BACKUP IF IT HELPS:good:
EDIT: MANAGED TO FIX IT USING EMMA, THANK YOU

Use PC Companion and repair the phone with it.

Device is not displayed in pc companion

Maybe you should try to reinstall the device drivers.

Try to flash with another version of flashtool...or just repair via pc companion...
If all else fails,u will have to unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel
I have Xperia Flasher but it won't get detected and PC companion won't detect it too. Can you give me alink to the flashtool you were saying
Dude the one and only Xperia flasher is androxyde...just Google it and go to github...then there you'll see many versions of flashtool...try one after other..and have you installed fastboot and flashmode drivers if flashtool??
Thank me if I helped you...
Hello fonetalker 101,
I faced the exact same problem with my Xperia E, I got stuck in a bootloop, and began to panick. So I know what demons you are facing
You can try a few options:
1. As mathewsj114 says you can try an older version of flashtool. And make sure that you have the Flashtool and Fastbootdrivers installed!
2. Install Sony Update Service. You can download it here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/. Just install, run and select your phone model, then follow the instructions onscreen.
3. You said PC companion wasn't working? That's ashame!
4. If nothing works, try another computer!!! That's how I fixed my bootloop, my friend used Sony Update Service on his computer, and with him it worked! My personal experience is that SUS and Flashtool have some tiny bugs in Windows XP/Vista.
Hope I helped. Have a nice day and goodluck!

[Q] Xperia L brick dead

hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome
Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome
ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!
Just flash a custom kernel first then boot into CWM and then flash a SuperSU.zip from the recovery.. It will directly root your phone..

Xperia Z3 boot loop

Hi all,
I have an Xperia Z3 Model 6603
I have unlocked the boot loader for the Xperia Z3 as per sony instructions
I then ran the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img loading the "Advance Stock Kernel with CWM Recovery v01 (FW: 23.0.A.2.93)" as per: [D66XX] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 + ROOT for Xperia Z3 [20140928] thread.
I am now stuck in a boot loop that I cannot escape from.
I can still access Fast boot but I am unable to flash a .FTF with FlashTool to re-flash back to a working phone.
I have also attempted to reload the device by trying to install from .Zip via CWM. Still no joy.
Any suggestions on how to recover the device back to stock at all?

Hi, I have the same problem with my old z3. Iuse it as a remote for my android tv. It started to boot loop yesterday. It is not possible to flash it using pc companion or flash tool. I will wait until the battery drains out and leave it for a day before trying again.

Anybody have backup of stock 32.4.a.1.54 or zip to flash?? Can't flash with flashtool

Hi, i must go fully back to stock, but can't flash stock rom by flashtool and xperia companion. Xperia Companion stays on waiting for phone and flashtool says loader.sin error.
I tried everything and can't go on with that. I was on stock 32.4.a.0.160 and patched kernel with unlocked bootloader. I tried to flash kernel from stock rom, so I extracted it with flashtool, flashed and phone stays on SONY logo now.
Any one can help? For me know, I can only go with custom rom, because i still have twrp working.
