There's a issue on the latest version of flashtool. Try downloading the previous version of flashtool (0.9.18.6) from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
This should allow you to flash the stock firmware.

[Q] Update Issue with Xperia J

Hi Experts,
Need your help / comments on the following issue with Xperia J :-
Current status of my device :
Model Number - ST26i
Android Version - 4.1.2
Kernel Version - 3.4.0
Build Number - 11.2.A.0.31
Rooted - Yes
Bootloader Status - Unlocked
Issue - Sony PC Companion detects that a new update is available ( even though i am currently on the latest build ie - 11.2.A.0.31 ) and takes me the the screen ( see the attached image Update.jpg ) every-time i connect my device to the PC via USB.
Also, the Update Centre on device shows that a new update ( again build 11.2.A.0.31 ) is available and i would need to be connected to the PC to complete the update procedure.
Things tried - Connected the device to PC via USB and proceeded with the update using Sony PC Companion, however after the download of new update i get an error telling "Phone contains modified software that cannot be updated". ( Please refer the attached image update_failed.jpg ).
It would be great to know the following :-
1) is there a way to disable this update notification from Sony PC companion everytime i connect my device to PC ?
2) is there a way to disable system notification in the device's notification area about new update being available?
Thanks,
Hussain
From what I see it looks like you can't update and I think it's because of the unlocked bootloader. Why dont you just flash the .31 firmware via flashtools?
And if you wanna remove the notification form your phone regarding the available update just use titanium backup and freeze the update center app. That will remove the notification .

I don't know where you can find the Indian firmware, but you can install the Central European Version.
Follow this tutorial - http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/25-sony-xperia-j-st26 and search inside these forums for the Jelly bean .31 firmware ftf.

If you want to install stock firmware, then you have to lock your bootloader in order do pc companion detect what phone you have. In this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472 there will be a root method to .21/.31 firmware for our phone in a few days time.
What I would do is flash stock firmware, relock bootloader, update to latest version, and then root (and you can also unlock bootloader again.
Don't try to lock bootloader with custom kernel in your phone because you will get a soft bricked phone.

Are there any sources for older ftf files other than XperiCheck?

Hello Everyone. I have a device that came with a Hong Kong FW. (F8332 1305-2218)
I'd like to have an MM FTF as a backup incase I want to downgrade in the future.
I know that flashing FTF files for other regions/countries is possible, so any MM FTF is okay but I would prefer having the FW with most features and least bloat-ware.
Is there any source other than xpericheck?
(PS. I haven't unlocked my device yet)

Xperifirm only shows the latest N firmware. I am now downloading it, but i need MM.
What do you mean by "create ftf (flashtool)" ? Can flashtool extract ftf from phone?

Flashtool problem

when my firmware downloaded via xperifirm , flashtool show me DECRYPTION ERROR
then i tried to create bundle then asked me add fsc.41 or not
1.my phone is unlocked and i lost my TA
2. i am on custom rom and custom kernels
should i add this fsc.41 to my ftf???
thanks
Solved
how did u solver? i have the same problem. thanks!
Flashing your phone using Flashtool will solve eveything.
Get the required ftf (download from the ftf post or create your own). Use the FSC when prompted.
This flashing here have nothing to do with TA.

[Q]

Something goes wrong with my XZ f8332. I have no idea how but my f8332 can only be recognized as f8331 on Emma when I tried to flash the latest ftf version. I have flashed this phone to 41.3.A.2.99 before and it works fine. But when I wanted to flash it to 41.3.A.2.128 (latest version on xperifirm for Singapore version), the flashtool state it as 'The bundle does not match the connected device'.
Tried flashing the one Emma (customised_NOBA) has for my phone and it works but my phone now is f8331 instead of f8332.
Trying to flash back to singapore version thru flashtool by androxyde and used different version of flashtool (9.18, 9.24, 9.25), where 9.18 says loader.sin not found and the other 2 stuck on device connected in flash mode.
Any help with this?
And I can't post title?
