Ok guys, so, let me tell you two things before I start. 1: sorry if my English might sound weird, not a native speaker. 2: I've read almost every thread in the whole internet about this sort of issue, but none seem to have the solution for my case.
I wanted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia L to unlock its true potential, but I noticed that I can't get Wi-Fi to work on ANY of all the roms I tried (Resurrection Remix, CM11 and three different builds of CM12 and 12.1). From what I read here, it looks like that if I restore the latest version of my stock firmware - seems like the one I had before modding wasn't the latest - I'll be able to get wifi to work, even if I install a custom rom.
The problem is that I just can't restore the .ftf. I'm using Flashtool 0.9.19.8 - I would like to avoid installing the whole bunch of android.sdk stuff (of course, unless it's strictly necessary) - and everytime I try to flash it, I get this:

I'm starting to get crazy.
Also, I have another problem, which is not strictly related to this one but I would like to solve.
I flashed TWRP recovery 3.0.0. And it gives me problems of every sort.
When I flash it from Flashtool and then unplog the usb cable and turn on the phone it boots, but the screen flickers as hell and everytime the left and the right half of the screen invert, so sometimes I even press the wrong buttons.
Then, when I try to boot the phone in recovery mode it just bootloops, it freezes at the Teamwin Recovery boot screen. So everytime I need to use recovery I just have to remove the battery, put it in again and flash boot.img again from Flashtool.
I tried to flash other recoveries (Philz and CWM) over it, but I just can't. I'm stuck with TWRP 3.0.0. I don't know how to do it.
I'm starting to get desperate here. I modded Samsung and Nexus devices until now, I never knew that modding Xperia could be so damn tricky. Please, help me!!
I'm very thankful to all of you who will be so kind to help me get out of this situation and even to those that will just try to answer.
________________________________________________
UPDATE:
I managed to switch to CWM recovery 6.0 but actually I can't install any rom, I get installation aborted. I suppose the recovery has no compatibility with the roms I try to install. I returned to TWRP, even if it flickers and can't boot properly at least I can flash a rom.
I tried to change the .ftf, the one I tried before wasn't actually the latest. But the problem remains the same, same log, flashing aborted.
And obviously, still no wifi. I'm desperate. I dunno what to do.
Wait a second, 15.0.A.2.17 isn't the newest version. It's 15.3.A.1.17.
I'm not sure if it will change anything, but get an FTF of that version and try again.
For your recovery: TWRP is known for flickering on our device. Try the TWRP FOTA-Recovery, I'm using that and there are no flickers. Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/app-recoveries-recovery-installer-t3187915 - install the app and choose TWRP, it will install and work

Thank you for answering but I finally solved it on my own, I was gonna update my thread right before you answered! You are right, the latest one is the one you mentioned! I found it out on my own but even that couldn't solve my problem
Than I tried to install an older version of flashtool (0.9.11.0) instead of using the most recent, and that did the whole thing! I could flash the stock rom and it worked! And, somehow, that allowed me to install any custom rom and any ROM I want I'm currently running Philz recovery and CM12.1!!
Thank you a lot for answering, anyway!!
You can mark the thread as [SOLVED] now, I hope this helps all the people who shared my situation - that is, a lot of people, I guess...
Happy it worked out for you

Hi, first of all, i know there are lots of post about bricked phones, trust me, i've seen most of them but none of it helped me and i am kind of fraking out. I got a Sony x10 a few weeks ago and I loved it. I upgraded it to Andoird 2.3.3, rooted it, installed xRecovery, etc. But yesterday I tried to install Android ICS, for that I had to unlock bootloader. Read a lot of post and started, and finally used a method which uses kernel downgrade, a batch program and the kernel upgrade, but guess what, it didn't work, couldn't flash kernel upgrade after all. What freaks me out is that I can't install any ftf either, flashtools keeps showing ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed". Tried using update service, tried with many ftf files and flashtools. Nothing happens. Phone just vibrates a little bit longer than normal when I turn it on and nothing else. It also turn the green led on when connecting to the charger and flash mode seems to work.
I am desperate, I had to do a lot to get a phone like this and now it doesn't even boot with the SE logo. Thanks and I hope someone has the solution.

complete log, saved when trying to flash stock 2.3.3 firmware
That one should be easy to solve When you choose an ftf file to flash in firmware selection window you have to check "No final verification". That worked for me
P.S. also try to post your threads in the right section
brick
u must try another flash tool the older version
U read a lots, but why didnt u unlock using flashtool plugins? It's easier.

So I have a Xperia M C1905 nicki.
Just unlocked the bootloader, but got into a bootloop, which I knew was going to happen,
I installed TWRP, and tried to reflash the stock ftf:

And basically nothing happens...
I did a factory reset. After that tried to flash .zip stock 4.3 rom and got the error from TWRP:
E: Error executing updater binary in *insert .zip name here*
Did a bit of research and found that I need to flash the firmware to fix that, and since I can't do that through flashtool for some reason, I wanted to ask if someone has the solution or can help me with this problem (My phone is like a brick with twrp and being able to go in to fastboot/flashmode)?
Thanks for your time spent reading this.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sony Xperia M at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!
OK so 1st hi guys. Here is the problem i have unlocked the bootloader and all stuff installed cm12 and i didnt lekd it so i wanted to go back to original c2105 firmware. i have a backup with cwm recovery of an image after i unlocked the bootloader(i had that bootloop stuff) (i didnt made a backup before that) and when i restore it the wi-fi cant turn on. i dont know how to fix this if u know please link me/explain.
So i though that can be that the recovery is broken or somethink so i decided to do the flashtool metod. And i tried 2 different firmawres and they cant flash (yes i have the drivers installed). Here is the log from the program:

Can you please help me out thank you. Sorry if there is a thread like that before i searched and didnt find one.
Thank you.
Use another USB cable.
Flash the FTF again.
It will work..
if you read, the installation failed and was aborted due to the device getting disconnected .. so don't touch the device while flashing.
Use older version of flashtool.

If you want to flash a 41-series ROM (latest version) copy 39.fsc to 41.fsc.

What i need to do for flash MM or unlock the bootloader?
You don't need to downgrade to MM to install 8.0 and to unlock your bootloader go to the Sony website and follow the instructions but don't forget to backup your TA partition first you will need to search XDA to see how to do that.
You need to downgrade to MM to backup TA partition thou.
Error is "No flash script".
Did you press no when the prompt come out?
If you download from Xperia firm, you need to redownload it again, then exit, flashtool will ask to run the script or not, press yes.
got the same problem. can anybody help? cant do TA Backup otherwise.

this solution for people trying to get Android 7 worked for me, getting the flash script for MM!
Are you using the last flashtools version (0.9.23.2)? The best firmware to backup your TA keys is 39.0.A.1.250.... The firmware that are you trying to flash is not able to make your TA backup. After that you must unlock the bootloader with flashtools ( the app send you the sony site with tutorial ). After that you should be able to flash the Android 8 images. It's better flash Twrp too... I hope helped you.
