[HELP] Bootloop & can't reflash nothing. - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I have tried everything.
My Z3 is on bootloop and wont boot in recovery mode. There was TWRP but when the phone works, i cant boot to recovery at all.
Now Flashtool says
28/051/2016 03:51:39 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
28/051/2016 03:51:39 - INFO - Ending flash session

28/051/2016 03:51:39 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
How can i boot to system? Tried allmost everything. 4 hours......... Fastboot also tried. Bootloader is locked. Never been unlocked. So can i do samothing else with locked bootloader. Tried to downgrade 5.1 and 4.4. Now its 6.01.

Ensure you have the latest flashtool installed. Re-download the FTF.
If that does not work try forcing a software repair using PCCompanion.

Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i can't install firmware

Hi
I tried install XPERIENCE™ Tipo Beta 2 ROM but I forgot one step (format system). After installation i rebooted phone but stuck at black screen of course. So I pulled out battery and go to CWM again and I did everything, format data, system, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats and tried install ROM again. But CWM can't read from internal memory so i decided to reboot phone and go to CWM again but now I can't go to CWM and phone stuck at SONY logo. So I tried flash firmware by flashtool but of course there were error.
Installation process starts normal but after few steps phone disconected itself and tried to boot.

i tried to flash a new rom. i wiped system, did a factory reset, wiped dalvik cache. then when i was about to flash the rom, i by mistakely clicked install zip via sideload. then i removed the battery and reinsterted it. but to see that i was stuck at the sony logo. i cant even get to the cwm screen! please help.
Use Pc Companion or Flashtool to repair it. Good luck.
Sent from my D2303
now i realise after some searching on the net that i have wiped cwm and system and userdata. when i tried to flash cwm, it told that the device needs to be rooted. i tried this via fastboot. i cant flash supersu or cwm. what should i do??
Use Flashtool, it should be resolve Your problem. (One click root, SuperSU, CWM)
the root device and install recovery button is disabled. so, shall i flash a firmware to solve this problem?
hey

Help....
thanks in Advance!
@rohith.gm:
Are you sure to use a correct ROM? Miro have a lot of different versions. Find your current one.
@aaditya:
Your phone isn't rooted already? If not, then try to flash a correct stock, then root, CWM, and then, maybe a correct custom ROM, like CM.

Problems unlocking bootloader

Hello everyone, hope you can help me :crying:
first of all, sorry for my english :silly:
few months ago i bought xperia z3 and when it was possible i made root, made backup of drm keys and with flashtool unlock and relock bootloader few times.... I have no problem.
last month i tried windows 10, and give me some problems, when i tried to go back to windows 8.1, i can´t, so i format my pc.
After reinstall all, i tried to unlock bootloader (with last version of flashtool. last time i can unlock , i used an outdated version) but i cant. Flashtools give me this error:

i tried with KK 2.93 , last version of Lollipop, with root, with no root, i tried with cmd too, but always same errors:
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
or
Phone is already root
Service info shows me that i can unlock my bootloader, but i can't.
Flashtool give me only the option to unlock, so my phone is locked, i have recovery, and if i install a rom like CM or Glade, show me an error like: this rom is for c6603 and this devices is Leo. if i edit build_prop it shows me other error, but i cant flash any rom, so my z3 still lock.
if someone have any idea or know how to fix this....
thank you
What does it actually say in the service menu about your bootloader?
EDIT
Have you sorted out the file structure within flashtool to reflect the fact you are unlocking again?
The best bet will be to do it via fastboot without flashtool. Follow the instructions in the Sony website.
i try it via fastboot but i have an error:
FAILED <remote: Device is already rooted>
i try it with KK no rooted, KK rooted, and same with Lollipop.
About this:
Have you sorted out the file structure within flashtool to reflect the fact you are unlocking again?
I don't know how to do it, it's possible that could solve my problems...
Can you please tell me what it says about your bootloader in the service menu?
Read this to sort the folder structure out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51604352&postcount=22
it says:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Have you installed all your drivers in win8.1? Don't forget you need to boot in a special mode for unsigned drivers.
You can use http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ as a Howto.
When you've booted in that mode just start flashtool and choose install drivers from the menu (or go to the flashtool folder and start driver.exe)

I had this a few days ago it would only let me flash a newer os on the phone.
Trying to flash a rom of the same version or lower kept giving me the error.
But check drivers first I have heard others for it to work after reinstalling drivers in some cases.
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
download older version of the flashtool
FIX
reinstall the drivers found in flashtool/drivers folder.
then,close flashtool , plug the phone in flash mode(holding vol down)
windows should install drivers to device.
open flashtool and flash.
worked for me:fingers-crossed:

scatter file for Xperia XA F3111 ?

Hi,
Is there a friendly owner of an Xperia XA (F3111) who has (or could generate) a scatter file for me?
I have installed lineage os on my Xperia XA and everything went well.
Then after a reboot it was suddenly bricked, no boot, no fastboot mode, no TWRP, only red led when charging and flashmode.
I tried using flashtool but it does not work:
Processing loader.sin
Checking header
Writing packet to phone
Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
Ending flash session
Writing packet to phone
Error in processHeader : 22 :The device does not recognize the command.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think, this is because there isn't a stock ROM...?
Another possibility would be to reflashing the lineageos ROM with SP flashtool, but therefore I would need a scatterfile.
Thank you very much if someone has mercy on me!
