Bootloader is not unlocked... I tried using EMMA flash tool but it says my phone is locked.... and am not certain if it can be unlocked...

Try this!
If you have not unlocked your bootloader then try using Sony update service (SUS).Just google for it.If in case you still face problem then I suggest you to use flashtool by Bin4ry to flash ur stock firmware ,not the Emma tool by Sony. Btw you have not mentioned whether your phone is rooted or not.Anyway Here is the link to the flashtool.

Also refer to this post below for more instructions about flashing stock firmware through flashtool.

[Completed] [HELP] My Xperia z1 Compact is dead

I had a rooted Xperia Z1 Compact running KitKat. I got the update within my device for lollipop. It has downloaded and finished but there was error and couldn't update. Then I tried to flash firmware using flashtool and I got error and couldn't finish the flashing process. Since them my phone doesn't start. It only show sony xperia logo and black screen. Flashtool recognize it in flash mode but some error. I'm stuck now and I need your help. Once phone boot, flash tool recognize it connected with USB Debugging off although it was on before I flash it first time. Lollipop firmware was installed from Xperifirm. I have attached screen print showing error from flashtool if it can help.

Fahadam, I did not find a solution to upgrade the firmware, but managed to get my phone working properly again.
I downloaded the version of the firmware corresponding to my Carrier from Xperi firm (the version I used before flashing my device), and excluded every single file except "SYSTEM".
I'm still on Kitkat now but at least I have my phone back
Hope that helps

Solved. I just flashed lollipop firmware excluding everything except system. Now mobile is working having lollipop 5.0.2

simlock.ta

Hi there,
I flashed stock rom using the Flashtool but didnt exclude simlock .ta (on the xperia M2). since then my phone has been simlocked.
When I connect to Flashtool it shows that the phone is unlocked also I am able to flash ftf firmwares but when I try to flassh a .img file it gives me Failure message. The same thing happens when I try to flash using the fastboot.
Emma also shows that the phone is locked!
one another thing is that in service info of my phone it is written: Rooting status: Unknown
now everything except the simcard works ok.
could you please help me to solve this problem?
cheers

Hello xda it's my first post here
Recently i tried to install on my xperia z5 android 6 by following these steps from the link below:
http ://xperiafirmware.com /8-firmware/108-sony-xperia-z3-e6553 (delete space after http)
In detail, after downloaded Android 6.0 - firmware 32.1.A.1.185 i tried to install it into phone from flashmode with flashtool as tutorial shows.
In flashtool after:
"processing system.sin
Checking header
Flashing data"
the program stacked there the green bar didn't load at all and after 6 hours passed it popes up an error message and phone's disconnected.
After that the phone is acting like video below(rebooting all the time and says "software update fail make sure your phone is connected to computer and try again" )

Your given link shows that you have installed Z3+ fw.
Try to download your model FTF and then flash it with flashtool again.

hi, i was in the same trouble before, i was sacaried with my new super expensive brick jajaja, but i found the solution, just try to flash the generic fimeware and marking all de wipe marks in flash tool, after few attempts it flash the rom and i can enter the phone, if you see the green bar doesn't began to go just desconect your phone and try it again. I solve it in my 4th atempt
PD: forget my english please, i wish it can help you.

Hi, Also got up on the same problem as yours as i've downloaded and flashed wrong FTF model for for my Z5 Dual (E6683).
Just performed the re-flash using the latest Flashtool and the correct FTF for the model, completed flashing and device has returned to normal operation.
