Loop after flashing Stock .ftf - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So recently i flashed the CyanogenMod 5.1 on my Xperia Z3 device. After a few weeks, i wanted to go back to the Stock Xperia ROM, so i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187952&postcount=2 with the ftf file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061. Like in the guide above i used the flashtool to flash the complete ftf file to my Z3, but it seems that it didn't worked properly. It starts to boot and stopping to work after it shows the first menu of choosing my country, then stucks in a boot loop. I also tried out the global rom - the problem remains the same.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers.

Try to check the wipe userdata and applog into flashtool. Then try to flash stock again. I did this when I experienced this before.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that too and did this but it didn't work either.
I solved it with using XperiFirm from the Flashtool Software. It downloaded the newest Android for the Xperia Z3 (6.0) and flashed it.

use flashtool version 0.9.18.6
and make sure u installed all required drivers properly. If you use windows 8 or 10, you have to disable driver signature enforcement in order to be able to install the drivers.

You guys have to use 4.4.4 kernel. From 4.4.4 rooting guide in general section.

Have similar problem (tried to flash TWRP to my Xperia E3 D2203 with flashify APP on my phone) and now when I try to swich on, only "SONY XPERIA" comes with the red light on the diode, then it vibrates once and the screen is black. I've tried to use Sony Companion, but it doesn't recognize the phone. So doesn't flashtool (when I wanted to flash new firmware). I've installed all drivers required (ADB, fastboot and flashmode). When I open the device manager (I use Windows 7) it doesn't recognize the phone as well. Any solutions?

Download a Lollipop FTF file and flash it using Flashtool

Do i need root?
No not to use flashtool use on totally stock just make sure you don't include simlock and .ta parts of the ftf. Has your phone been rooted before or is the bootloader unlocked? Usually the only thing stopping a update from verifying.

Don't erase anything before you make a backup. Flashtool works on locked and unlocked bl so Google Flashtool, download 9.18.6 version, install drivers and PC Companion (if you haven't already), download ftf with XperiFirm (last button on right in Flashtool). When proces end flash ftf to your phone.
Good Luck!

You lose all files music etc. When you flash ftf it's good to wipe all data cache especially if you up/downgrading so your phone will be as new. First start may take little longer than usual.
Good Luck!

Make sure you don't include simlock.ta and the other .ta section of ftf and you should be fine

If you are running the Stock KitKat rom , Then you should be able to download it from "Update Manager" . If not , Download the latest FTF using flashtool / xperifirm.
Worked for me.

Provide a log
Maybe you install CM 12.1 Nightlies or other CM rom and then you tried to back stock ftf? Am I right?
I hv same problem, from cm to stock
Edit: i just reinstall Flashtool to older version 0.9.11.0 , and now it work
right..this causes the problem?
Same thing for me here, when Unlocking the bootloader, I had a bootloop, so I had to flash my device with Flashtool (0.9.19.8) with the same FTF file, worked normally. ( Xperia L C2105).
I flashed my devices on CM13 ( Resurrection Remix Marshmallow), everything worked fine.
2 days later, I wanted to go back to the Stock ROM using Flashtool ==> ERROR... flashing. aborted.
On the internet, they basically talk about drivers problem or flashtool version ..... nothing worked for me.
A serious help is needed here.
EDIT: I used the 0.9.11.0 and it worked for me too.
It worked !!!!

i have the same problem and you are right after flashing cm 12.1 i am having problem flashing the stock rom
Flashing the stock using latest flashtool worked for me.
I was having an old version on my computer and had used it many times to flash stock. It used to work fine without any issues.
Lately, I installed CM 12.1 but was having issues with it. When I tried to flash stock using the same flashtool version, somehow it didn't work anymore. I knew ftf file was fine, because I've successfully flashed it before.So I removed the old flashtool and installed the latest version.Installed all drivers again. First time, it didn't work. But after restarting the computer and on running it again, flashing was successful. I think a restart of the system is necessary for the drivers to install properly. So if your flashtool didn't work the first time, a restart may do the trick.Make sure you do a restart before trying another version.

Xperia tipo dual bricked after installing custom rom.

I flashed using cwm a custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/xperia-z1-rom-tipo-dual-lb-ulb-users-t2927997) , specifically the S.P.3. I followed the installation as advised but after the installation finished when I rebooted the system wouldn't power on. The only thing it does is it vibrates as if it would power on and simultaneously the litlle light flashes green for one sec. I chose the intuise kernel and most xperia z1 settings. I ve got a nandroid backup but how can i flash it?
do you have an unlocked bootloader?

if your bootloader is locked, then you can't choose a custom kernel from the installer, i am the rom dev and i mentioned this problem specifically, and i said: if your bootloader is locked, then please choose "Stock kernel" in the installer, and i wrote it in big font.
now you need to re-flash stock rom using flashtool, and then proceed with rom installation again, and choose "Stock kernel" in the installer.
i hope this helped :good:
Thanks I have already manage to reflash using flash tool but it was a bit difficult as the only roms it recognizes are the .ftf ones. Anyway thanks.

Just Google your model with .ftf and you will find one on Google Drive. (for example sti21i.ftf)
