I'm having a couple of issues with updating my Z5 to 6.0 via FlashTool and XperiFirm. I have FlashTool 0.9.19.8 installed and the latest XperiFirm. When I try to download a firmware (tried Customized DE, AU, HK) I get "Error: Internet connection error!" which doesn't make sense, as I have a very good reliable connection to the internet at my university. I managed to get one firmware downloaded and bundled (Customized DE), but when I attempt to flash it I get "ERROR - Can't read a byte value"
Has anyone else been able to overcome these issues?
In this thread the solution was to "configure system to run flashtool as an ordinary user (not root) and it mystically started to work!" so maybe someone can shed some light on what that means.
Thanks
Latest flashtool is 0.9.19.10
be sure to patch the .jar

That's old info from March - no longer applies to the latest v0.9.22.3 release.

You should just try the Update Phone option that's already in Settings?

Then your next solution is grabbing a program called Xperifirm. It's like Flashtool, but this one supports our phones. It will have the update you need from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/
thnks a lot xperifirm is good app and it contains the firmware for the z3v; the problem is that flashtool doesn't have the z3v in devices list for updating or reinstall the firmware
i think i should wait for update (flashtool) and them i flash it with the 23.0.E.1.44
i just want to remove or fix the flashing Red Frame/Border in my device (the Strict Mode method does not solve it)
i found a way but rooted devices only and u knew; no root available for z3v

Hello guys!
I Have a Xperia Z3 D6643 with TV branded from VIVO and i want to flash a customized PT firmware from the D6603 (It's the same config but without TV). I Installed the flashtool and the drivers related with the Z3 mobile from the drivers folder. I am using windows 8.1 when trying to flash i get this error:
04/013/2013 10:13:23 - INFO - Checking header

And then stops flashing. Do anyone know what is happening and how to solve?
BTW: I correctly installed drivers by disabling the signature checker on windows.
Best regards.

I think because your device is other version. True I don't know.

I can't tell you if it's possible to flash the 6603 ROM on that.
Anyways, it might be that the ROM file you downloaded is corrupt, DL it again.
And you posted in the wrong section, this is not for questions.
Do not post questions in the development thread

Hi,
I bought my Z5 online and I am living in Germany, my Z5 has a spanish firmware. I would like to flash it to the customized_DE firmware, but flashtool always stops at the same location (Max packet size set to 4096K). I read somewhere else that it works when you're using an older version of flashtool, but there it stops at flasing loader.
Does anyone have the same error and found a solution?
Many thanks to all!
Use the latest flashtool available
download ftf file through xperifirm
if you are using windows 8.1, disable usb verification enforcement
change compatibility on flashtool from windows 8 to windows 7
for more, use google, and you are doing this on your own risk
Had the same problem because I was using an old version of flashtool. Ended up finding the righ place to download it on flashtool.net.
Which version are you using?
Hello. Received my Xperia XZ in germany with T-Mobile branding, which i wanted to remove because i do not have t-mobile and all their apps are useless to me, secondly the lot of pink icons / flashing screens / etc. are extremely annoying. I did sucessfully unlock and tried to flash "customized DE" (latest) which always fails (downloaded via XperiFirm, deleted the .xml, packed and flashed with Flashtool).
Then i tried searching an Android 6 tft, and found the "customized CE1" which worked, but did not get the Android 7.0 update yet. But in the end, this is not what i wanted to archive as its the wrong firmware version. As far as i understood flashing Android 7.0 ftfs is currently not possible? And also sony only has latest Firmware downloadable, so no DL-Link for the 6.x Firmware for my region? Did not manage to find the correct Firmware using google.
Can anyone help me out?
Either finding the correct german Firmware ftf for 6.x or how to flashing the 7.x one.
Thanks!

Thanks, but already checked both.
Xperiafirm only finds the newest Android 7.0 Firmware - or is there a hidden "old firmwares" feature?
XperiCheck also lists only the newest Fimware.
Just figured out while writing this post, i can click on the CDA - which seems to list all "customized DE".
Only problem now: I do not have an Alfafile account, nor do i have any of the available payment options to buy me the smallest subscription to aquire this file. :/
Google also does not seem to find any result for "F8331_1305-9090_39.0.A.3.30-R4B_Customized_DE.ftf"
EDIT: That ftf file is not shown in FlashTool - possibly broken one So still no real progress.
Hello fellow Xperia users/developers,
I am trying to flash my Xperia z5 (E6653) which had its motherboard replaced yesterday. It is still in lollipop so I decided to update it to nougat. However, PC companion identifies my phone updated while its not. So I decided to flash it manually instead. I downloaded the FTF file from Xperifirm with the build no. 32.4.A.0.160 / R1E. The problem it the 0.9.23.2 version does not identify FTF files even I checked its file location properly. I searched in this forum that old versions works. I tried downloading the 0.9.18 (I think) and it really identified the FTF. However I received an error message regarding the TA thing to find out that this error might be due to only 0.9.23 versions supports nougat FTF.
So my concern is, how can I have my FTF file identified by 0.9.23? Because I can't use my phone right now. I hope someone might help me. Or give me an alternative to flashtool if there's any.
Thank you.
Redownload file ftf again with a stable connection..
Hello, what if I still dont see the ftf after redownloading?
