have you tried a different ftf. or the extracted update service that hard installs the firmware

nope, but where ill get that one?

unable to understand it. plz explain.:crying:

I assume you waited patiently as PC Companion/SEUS downloaded the update. So the raw update files are in your PC right now!!
All you've to do to make your own ftf file is to follw the procedure here...

And once you have your ftf file ready, flash it with the flash tool & let us know if it works :fingers-crossed:

(Xperia J) Can't flash in flash mode

Hello, first of all sorry for my english.
Yesterday I flashed my Xperia J with FXP223, everything was ok except that I have no network, and my IMEI was gone.
I've found that I have to flash my phone with an ICS stock rom and reflash with FXP223.
But i can't flash my phone in flash mode.
I followed all instructions, Flashtool -> flash mode -> select .ftf rom -> plug my phone in flash mode when asked, green led is OK -> and then the flash freeze at "Flashing data" and at the same time my green led shutdown.

Did you install the drivers from the flashtool folder? If not that may very well be your problem.

Flashtool-drivers.exe doesn't have drivers for Xperia J, I've tested to manually import J drivers with that method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41592930&postcount=15 but doesn't work too.
Sony companion recognize my phone (when I test to recover my phone it says that my phone has been modified, but it recognize the phone)
I don't know what to do

Did you install the fastboot and flashmode drives from the setup as you may need them too. I think it would be worth it to install all of the drivers from the driver setup folder. If you try that and then that method after I think it should work.

OMFG
After hours and hours of research and test, it finally works !!! (on the 4th PC )
Certainly drivers conflict or something like that.
If someone have the same problem :
Install only Flashtool v0.9.10.1
Install flashmode drivers with Flashtool-drivers.exe
Launch it.
Import ST26 drivers in flashtool (search ST26.zip on google)
Connect the Xperia J in flashmode to automatically install the windows drivers.
When complete disconnect the Xperia J.
In Flashtool -> flashmode -> select a stock .ftf rom -> flash -> connect the xperia in flashmode when asked. Yeah it flash.
I insist that on this PC, I have never installed SEUS, PC companion or others software or drivers.
(For those who want, I flashed with an ICS stock rom then FXP218, now all works)

It is good to hear you got it working. I've just noticed you previously said you tried to repair your phone in PC companion. That would have stopped it working too. I'm sorry I didn't pick that up sooner.

tried all of that but no luck when i press on the thunder icon it says wait for flash

Remove SIM Card, MMC & then flash! Also, note that sometimes flashing doesn't work after you resume from Standby/Hibernate mode in PC.

Sony Xperia XZ F8331 Flashtool problem

Hello everybody,
i have an Xperia XZ F8331 with android 7.0 and i want to install another region software because this is with some apps preinstall and i want to flash it. I have to say that i try 3 versions of software, but the same result. When i connect the phone i recive the following error:
31/001/2017 14:01:38 - WARN - No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader

I have to say that i cheched Unknown Sources and Debugging and i do all the steps.
Can anybody tell me what can i do?
Thank you

does flashtool pop up a message to you as soon as you plug it in for starting the flash process?
well, this little window message is about "script " to use... and you have to click YES... if you click No, you'd get that error or similar one...
what build numbers you were trying to flash?
i flashed Nordic Generic with no bloatware... except AVG anti-virus and those typical google apps (just disable them) so it's pretty much clean rom!
also go to devices same folder where firmware is stored... and go to XZ folder and check if you have all the required files... just screenshot all and send in here , and lets see how i can help you

Thank you for your answer. When i connect the phone flashtool doesn't pop up any window, just stay for 10 seconds, and for the first time i was tinking that is working but, after that i recive the error. On my phone i have android 7.0: 39.2.A.0.386.
I try with following software:
Xperia XZ_F8331_39.2.A.0.361_Nordic_Generic 7.0
Xperia XZ_F8331_39.2.A.0.374_Australia_Generic 7.0
Xperia XZ_F8331_39.0.A.3.30_Central Europe 1_Generic 6.0.1
and i revice the same results. I have to say that i install drivers from Flashool folder and its all good.

I even try from another computer and the same results... I have to say that i use Flashool for a long time. I flash Xperia X, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z3 Tablet for many times and i had no problem...

ok go to that folder: C:\Users\yourcomputername\.flashTool\devices\F83XX
and you should have some script files exactly like in the attached picture below!
if you don't have that folder... try to uninstall Flashtool and start a fresh installation....
but if you have, you need to create a flash-script otherwise the flashing will not gonna succeed at all....
now, follow the steps carefully.... believe me, its so easy...
first off,
make sure flashtool isn't running (if so, close it)
we're going to select the ( F8331_39.2.A.0.361_R5C_Nordic Generic ) for flashing... it's good and it doesn't have bloatware...
(i flashed it in mine)
2- go to the folder "Devices" scroll down to F83XX... open it, and you will find some .fsc files
copy the name "F8331_39.2.A.0.361_R5C_Nordic Generic" (this is how i have it, if the name you have is different than mine, then use yours....
and then go to that script -> F8331_39.2.A.0.327.fsc then rename it and overwrite with the same one we copied (the one you will use for flashing)
then open flashtool for flashing... wait until the window pops up asking you to connect your phone for flashing... then put your phone..... a message will pop up notifying you about "a new script was detected and if you want to use it" click YES or OK.. and then wait, and hopefully it will continue the flashing process successfully...
Good luck and let me know how's everything went

it works. thank you so much.

get the latest Flashtool
refresh your devices list in flashtool; if this does not bring a change, delete all the hidden Flashtool-User-directories and reinstall Flashtool
did you click away a message asking you "Use default.fsc?" click "yes" as answer
enable "Unknown Sources" and adb-debugging
