You should be fine not wiping anything as its still 6.0 and only a small update(untick all the top boxes on the right). Only one way to find out and if you have Google+Sony back up switched on you shouldn't lose anything anyway.

Qnovo is the battery charging software to help make the battery perform at its peak for longer periods of time don't delete that, apps log+diag not sure I'm currently downloading the latest version of flashtool as I've had my laptop in bits and managed to get it working again the version I was using only had user data and cache options.

PLEASE HELP!
I don't know what really happened but I had installed cm10 on it and then I see no service
I've searched on forum and was adviced to flash stock ftf but nothing
when booted the phone asks for sim pin "whats means that it reads the sim card" but after insert the right pin
the phone shows "invalid sim card" and got no service
I've did many times and still the same problem
before I get the phone my girlfriend had tried to partitioning an sdcard with minitool partition wizard
but she did it with the sd inserted on the device
maybe that was the cause the problem
please help me

Thanks for your help bro but even when I flash stock ics i can't get sim to work
If i just flash only the stock ics i get invalid sim card
And when i install cm10 over it the problem is still there
try these:
--> remove sim card and place it again correctly (works sometimes)
--> when you enter the CWM make sure you completely wipe your data includes- wipe cache, wipe /system, wipe dalvik cache, format /data /cache and then click on reboot the system now and remove the battery. go back to flashboot mode and flash the ICS firmware and i hope this might help coz this is what i did to my phone

Nothing bro! still the same
my phone asks for the sim password "PIN" and it only accepts the right pin code, what means that the phone reads the sim card
but i don't know why there's no signal and appears the message "invalid sim card"
I've tested many different sim cards and nothing solves
if I did something wrong
theoretically I just need to reflash an stock ftf and everything should be ok
but that doesn't solve the problem

it is because of trim area damage
you should have backup your trim area before unlocking bootloader
trim area, google it
and read about it

Got it working yet?
Experiencing same problem now after flashing the Xperia Z fire series 5 honami patch...
Tried multiple sim-cards from multiple providers.
xperia l
've unlocked bootloader by following the instructions provided on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and the fastboot tool sad "OKAY". Now when I try to turn it on again, I see SONY and then XPERIA logo, and then Xperia colour animation on the screen. It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it . I've tried holding the volume up button while starting up (the logos) and holding down both volume buttons and nothing happened.
Is there any way to fix this?

I think you both are trying to answer a question which is lacking details. You both are right according to your assumptions. I think there is no point answering a post when the user has not replied back with more details . Most probably, he would have shown it to a tech and got it working after paying some fee.
Too bad, we would have got him working for FREE
To be honest I don't know why there is a bootloop after unlocking but that usually happen.
But what I know that I have been in bootloop many times and the factory reset didn't work .
Anyway thank you and can you tell us why because I want to know why .

its because of apps that use drm keys that are stored in TA .... as long as those apps remain in cache the phone cant boot because they are loaded in cache with drm keys .... if you clear the cache ( factory reset does this....depends on wich recovery you use) the cache is cleared.... if the phone boots then it will rewrite cache.... with drm keys that are "nulled" (means 0000000) ...then the phone works again

Thank you for this useful information.
And I think this's why the factory reset didn't work with me maybe because I was using the stock xperia recovery not a custom one (cwm,twrp).
hey guys,,
i got that D6633 with IMEI problem ,,
when i restart the phone and request IMEI info via *#06# then IMEI:null ,,
but after 1 min when i repeat the request IMEI appears !! ,,
the problem is i can't call or receive cuz it's always "No Service" ,,
i've tried to flash the phone with Flashtool and SeTool Box with different FWs but same problem ,,
also tried to backup and restore TA but didn't help at all ,,
so, is there a solution for this weird problem ??
Also, check this video for another person suffering from the exact same problem ..

Its inside the ftf file, u can see it while you flash it in flashtool on the right side box named exclude.
While you flash be sure to to tick all options except baseband.

i've tried all the above but it still doesn't work. i guess the phone is faulty and i have returned it for a refund.
I changed the main LCD Flex Cable on Z3 (D6603 model), and the phone started to read IMEI and see Sim Card. As I see, this flex cable also connects antenna module with mainboard. I know it is very late reply, but it can be useful for somebody else.
Guys, bought a Z5 but I'm afraid to update it at FlashTool. Always updated my old Z2 and never had any problem, but new device, you know, do you?
Already deactivated safety signature Win 10 drivers. Already installed PC Companion for Win 10 download the necessary drivers for Z5.
Two Question:
1) It is appearing to me in WIPE: DIAG and SSD. What are these two new options?
2) I did not understand about FSC. Where do I get for the Z5? Is it really necessary or FlashTool is fully compatible with the Z5?
Can I flashing? It will give a problem?
I have flashed my Z5 multiple times with this version of flashtool and the x10flasher.jar patch. Didn't wipe diag or ssd. On the download page it mentions not flashing simlock ta and the default is already set not to flash.
There are new options in Flashtool, but I just leave them alone. I haven't read enough yet to understand what they're on about. I say yes to use the FSC script which is meant for the newer devices. The FSC script file, incidentally, is downloaded internally by Flashtool. You don't need to find it yourself. If you say no, Flashtool will use the old method of flashing, which still works, but seems to rely more on what you've ticked or unticked in the options.
Point to note - From what I understand, you should always leave 'simlock.ta' excluded - you'll see it's ticked by default by Flashtool in it's exclude options. Never force flash it. Bad. As some have found out.

Tks Guys! But what means DIAG and SSD to Wipe?
To erase my phone completely I select APPs and USER LOG DATA only? SSD would be the MicroSD?
Lol. You keep asking that same question and it's ignored every time... Seems to me that no one here knows the answer
Fairly certain diag means the stats for system/app crashes and call time etc. SSD could be SD card. One way to find out.

DIAG is Diagnostics, no clue as to actually what it wipes.
SSD is Solid State Drive, its the entire phone memory including /system, /boot, etc.

Great! Tks for Help!
I know is 2 year later...
However, what if I wanna wipe cash only ? is the option gone in new version ?
So marshmallow has started rolling out over the past few days but I still have not got mine yet. I'm an Australian with a Telstra plan and they have not been good at rolling out updates in the past (It took months to get lollipop on my z1). Is there a way I can force it to update?
Not rooted btw
Hello,
You can't force update, but you surely can flash through flashtool and xperifirm.
You won't lose warranty or lose DRM keys.

You run the risk of lots of apps crashing if you don't wipe.
I did just that and the phone was unusable.
