I have a strange problem with with my XZ while trying to flash any ftf.
Here's the flashtool log;

25/057/2019 03:57:42 - INFO - Device disconnected
The strange thing is that the phone does not actually get disconnected, windows doesn't even play the disconnection sound and the green light signifying flash mode stays on.
I've tried flashing 2 different MM ftf files and 2 different Oreo files but it always stops at the same point. I cant use fastboot because my bootloader is still locked. I can't even unlock it because the guides i was following don't even mention enabling OEM unlock until after the flashing is done...
I tried repairing with xperia companion but it always fails with basically no information. I feel like I can still rescue the phone because i have flash mode, fastboot mode and when i power on, it shows the Sony logo and then "software update failed". Also, the phone shows up as SOMC flash device when plugged in in flash mode(if that helps). Pls what do I do from here?

I just tried that and tried to flash a couple more times, sometimes it stops at "Opening device for R/W", other times it stops at "Opening TA partition 2" and then some how disconnects and reconnects.
This all started because i tried to downgrade from Oreo to MM.

I have an Xperia E (Single Sim).
I have unlocked the bootloader using the official Sony method and, as it seems, like many before me, my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried the solution noted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40911422 by bg.shishir
Unfortunately when I run flashtool the following is the outcome
21/034/2013 01:34:20 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

I'm guessing it might be something to do with USB debugging being off, but because it is stuck in a bootloop I can't get into the phone to change that.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated, as my phone is effectively bricked! I just want to get it working again - nothing more.
Xperia factory reset method
Update - I have got it working again!!! Woohoo.
Now you custom ROM peeps won't like this fix - but for the likes of me who just got real scared thinking my phone was bricked, its exactly what I wanted.
This fix takes you back to the original ROM. I'd seen someone else mention it, but didn't understand the post. So, if you come across this one and you are like me.... (well, let's hope you're not, but hey!)... then this is what you do:
1) Download and install the official Sony PC Companion.
2) Click on the Support Zone button
3) Click on Software update
4) The next screen has a repair my phone link (not the button on the bottom - read the everything on the screen and you should find it)
5) click here and follow the instructions
I'm presuming that this has just created the standard ROM on my phone, but its working like it should.
I got so stressed over this, so if you need anything explaining above, just post a message and I'll try to help.

Try what Dzepar said ....though i dont thinkl usb debugging is even necessary when andriod is off....(mine both usb debug&unkonwn sources is off but flashing still works...)
try these if above fails too
if you still have cwm/twrp... do factory reset in it..then try
in fastboot mode flash another kernel and then try flashing (connect phone in fastboot before selecting the thunder button to flash)
check if latest flashtool /redownload flashtool
Went to third party mobile service and got stock ROM installed. They installed 11.0.A.4.25, with some weird vodafone bloatwares. But a new problem is that when i go to service menu>service info>configuration>Bootloader unlock Allowed:yes., this means i can unlock BL. But when i try using flashtool it says Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked. What should i do now?

Completely agree with you. But he's flashing the whole ftf and not any single. sin. The log says this. And if you're talking about the kernel then he SUCCESSFULLY flashed phantom v7 which is not available as. sin file.
I hope you understood what I'm trying to say.

Hi all,
Problem which i am currently facing is Xperia L not booting. The above mentioned ERR_DYNAMIC=" 0x80080012 "; came when i did the following things.
1. Flashed C2104_15.0.A.2.17_India.ftf
2. Everything was working fine.
3. Flashed Phantom kernel (Phantom v7-JB) i.e boot.img file
4. Xperia l stops responding.
5. Now while putting on wall charger, it is showing RED LED Linking (each after 2secs approx)
6. When connecting to laptop and checking in flashtool, it is showing as given below. Also getting 1 time RED LED + 1 time GREEN LED blink (may be due to bootloop).

Try this
Take out your battery
push power button about 5 seconds
put battery back and charged it approx 10 min.
try flashed again ftf file via flastool
also need to check your usb port..
So you have tried changing the PC, Usb cable, ftf and none works, right?
are you sure that your bootloader is still unlocked?
I hope you didn't try to relock your bootloader after flashing phantom. (Just predicting). Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then try faizalotai's solution posted above.

okay
charge your battery fo atleast one hour. Then take it out and press the power button for around 30 seconds. Then put in the battery and DO NOT power on yet. Connect your usb while holding volume UP. There must be a blue led glowing.

that leaves you with the only choice of contacting sony service centre. Since you can't enter fastbooot I believe there's some hardware problem. Try flashing the kernel using flashtool. Or just trying updating the adb drivers.
and if that doesn't work, please take your device to sony.

There's no need to get the whole motherboard changed. Atleast talk to sony. They may charge you a bit more but they're reliable.
and one more thing I want to add is that I once faced the same issue with led. and I actually charged it for 2 hrs. You should try this.
No solution for this problem? I got same problem
I recently flashed the thunderzap kernel to my device using twrp. The installation completed perfectly but when I restarted my device, the screen would not turn on. There was a brief vibration and a red light started flashing on the phone but that is all:crying:. My battery was at 97% during install so it couldn't have been that. Any idea how to fix this?

And you're in what firmware??JB/Kitkat?
Thunderzap and Phantom doesn't support JB anymore..Only Civic Kernel but its still used the old one for Kitkat that doesn't support latest Kitkat Roms

Seems like your device was under volt beyond it could function.
if you can go in recovery, reflash any custom ROM without any custom kernel (civic,thunderzap etc.)
You can also use fastboot commands to flash kernel from custom ROM (PAC/Slimkat/CM etc) you are using.
Reinstall FTF using flash tool if you can't do any of above.
If you need any other help, do quote me

Thank you for your reply. I was not able to enter recovery due to my inability to start the phone. My bootloader is apparently locked so i cannot flash any ROMs or kernels, and flash tool freezes when identifying device then says the bootloader cannot be unlocked even though I checked while the phone still worked and it can be unlocked. Fastboot getvar does not give me my IMEI so i cannot unlock my bootloader the sony way either. Fastboot and flashmode are the only ways i can interface with my device. Please help.

Use flashtool.
download flashtool for Xperia. (Google it)
download ftf file from xperia L general section.
@Joel16 has a proper guide as well.
HERE
Flash ftf and you are good.
You don't need to unlock your device. However you will need drivers for fastboot mode which I have posted in general section as well.
Details HERE
Check this to find out how to flash FTF
HERE
Or alternatively, you can use Sony Companion in which you would be guided step by step and you would not need to download anything manually than the software itself. However you would still need drivers

Thank you for your help. I followed your instructions and attempted to flash the stock firmware but I got this error:
-INFO -For flashtool, Unknown sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
The last time I checked, these two options were enabled. I have no idea what to do. Is it possible to fix this?

too little Information I am afraid. can you send me the Log for flashtool and maybe take a screenshot of it as well.
I am suspecting you do not have proper drivers Installed.
visit general section and look for zperia L driver by me (hnk1)
I might have posted a link above too.
Try the process again after installation of drivers and If it doesnt work, quote me again with log n screenshot

Thanks for the help.
But flashtool was working fine before the incident. Thing is I was flashing different kernels (thunderzap 4.1) on the second or third try I think I corrupted the kernel...
I cant go into recovery or fastboot mode.

There may be a way to reset the phone using buttons, ill try to watch the video later. If it comes to it, you may have to just take the phone back and act like you don't know what happened.

DO not connect the phone until it prompts you to.
Select 'update software' and then choose repair my phone.
Only connect in flashmode when it prompts you.

Try updating PCCompanion and installing the drivers.
Or
Download flashtool from flashtool.net, install the fastboot, flashmode and Z3 drivers by running drivers.exe in C:\flashtool\drivers and try again.
If not flash a Z3V ftf using flashtool.

Yes, it is volume down,
However, you need flashmode to flash a stock FTF not fastboot.
Use flashtool and download a FTF for the Z3v and flash it in flashmode (Volume down)
Please provide the output log from flashtool when you do this.

CHeck the log, you are connecting in the wrong mode. It asks you to connect in FLASHMODE but you connect in FASTBOOT, they are different. Use volume down. Also, do not connect the device until it prompts you
ALSO you are flashing a FTF for the wrong device. You need a FTF for the Z3v not Z3 Use the xperiafirm button on flashtool to download a correct file

Flashboot does not exist
Flashmode is used with flashtool and PCCompanion to flash stock firmwares and FTFs. You use volume down key
Fastboot is used to flash images and kernels etc with an unlocked bootloader and you need volume up.
If flashtool says it is a D6603 file I suggest it is, maybe the person who uploaded it labelled it wrong. If you use Xperia fiem to download it it will be correct as it comes straight from the sony servers.

Have you installed the drivers? Goto where flashtool is installed and run drivers.exe (Normally C:\flashtool\drivers)
Choose flashmode, fastboot and Z3v (Or Z3 if there is no Z3v) drivers.
Ensure you are holding the down button before connecting the usb cable
