Hi,
I think, just bricked my phone.
I'm under Windows 7 64, I've installed Flashtool 0.6.8.0 and I can get nothing to work. Yes I installed the drivers and Yes I'm sure they works.
After trying to unlock the bootloader with the tuto of this thread, I finaly come to what looks like a bricked phone.
I can get access to flashmode on the X10 (back + USB). Normal boot does just hows the "Sony Ericson" Text
When I try to flash ANY ftf I've got this :

I've got mad on this problem for several days.
Hope You can find an answer to this problem.
Sorry if it is a nood problem or if it already have been discussed, but I can't figure out how to use the unlock thread beceause of dead links and lack of explanation.
Thanks in advance for the time you spend on this issue.

This is happening because you don't have installed USB FLASH driver for your phone..Try with this..Find in folder where you installed Flashtool, folder named "Drivers", and install drivers "X10" something, and "Flashmode" drivers..after you do that, connect your phone in flash mode (turn off phone, press "back" button and plug in your phone)..It should recognize USB flash driver..So after that's recognized..you can do whatever you want in flashtool.
Just be sure if you do RELOCKING your BL, follow all of the procedures provided in thread for RELOCKING..
And I think that you shouldn't have custom kernel if you do that ..
This phone is not bricked..Just do what I said..
Cheers

And don't flash "any .ftf file"...that's not cool :d..just flash in the way it's written in threads..
PC companion asks to slide down the status bar and activate PC Companion on the phone. I don't have status bar.
I tried almost all topic of this forum that explain that. I followed them carefully, but it seems I've got a problem that is explained now where.
The phone just comes from the Sony Ericson repair center. They changed the mother board. Maybe related with this issue. I've first easily (hum, hum drivers) rooted it and put the recovery. I tried to install a CM7 ROM themed like ICS (I can't refind it, maybee later) and in doing so I tried to flash a Kernel. It just said we have to unlock bootloader so it's what I tried, but I've got this error. Now I just try to fiw the phone to have a second attempt at this.
In your link I've done the folowing :
lanch flashtool
click flash button
selected Reblock
put the device in flashmode
and that's what it says :

I tried it. It just says : PC Companion is unable to connect to your phone please deconect an reconect.
For more help blahbla.
When I try repair it download a ROM and tries to flash it. after unsuccessful try in stadard mode (Slide down the status bar...) it ask me wich phone it is and ask me to put it on flashmod. I've done it and the software don't even react.
Ive had all sorts of errors etc,and always got my phone to work.I can only throw some ideas around,as Ive seen simple things succeeding
Try various flashtool versions
Run them as administrator
Use xp
Charge battery
Remove battery for 10 mins
Reflash/reroot(doomlords easy rooting kit)

For UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER, please READ AND FOLLOW THIS CAREFULLY..
Thanks a million !
It works !
The problem was caused by not running as Administrator, what a tiny thing.
Hope it can help other people with same problem, but it would be great to have a sticky "Repair your phone" post with all usual issue like this one.
And again thanks for your support.
A result

Help!
wait wait, the problem was not running as Administrator? can u please tell me how did u do it because my x10 is bricked for a month and i am desesperate =(
PS:srry for the bad english
its not BRICKED even i've faced this
you need to have this x10_2.3_aro.ftf .. which is the normal unrooted x10 rom given by sony at the phones manufacture.
requirements:
adb drivers installed
x10_2.3_aro.ftf
latest version of Flashtool
CAUTION: by following these steps you will lose all your phone information.. so you always need to have some backup
if the same problems persists at the time when you switch ON your phone ... follow these steps
1: make sure that you are not lagging by battery
2: remove the battery and connect the mobile via USB
3: run the flash tool which is already installed on your PC
4: Flash it with the downloaded file (i.e x10_2.3_aro.ftf)
5: when the flash tool says to connect your phone in flash mode then press back button and put on the battery and keep the back button pressed for a while
6: if the phone is connected in flash mode, well and good- then the 2.3.3 will be installed on your phone
7: if it is not connected in flash mode then repeat the 5th step ... you will surely get into the flash mode
8: after the flashing completes then you can again root the phone from the available option in flashtool and also install the xrecovery and unlock your boot loader
any problem regarding x10 booting can be brought to the happy mood by making these steps but you need to have a backup of your phone data
Hi Forum,
I'm new here and I'm new to updating smartphone software, rooting ect.
I must have been braindead the other day when I tried to load another ROM to the phone because I really messed it up. The phone was loaded with an ulBlDoom ROM using the SD card and xRecovery but without the DooMKernel and now the phone just keeps rebooting, it never gets past the "SONY ERICSSON" logo.
In my panic, I tried installing FlashTool 0.9.11.0 and connect the phone, the phone is found but I cannot flash it, I get this from the log:

I don't know where to go from here and need some help.
Thanks.
Hi again,
I stumpled across the term "bricked" and found that I could restore my phone using Sony Ericsson Update Service (or SEUS for short). Now I just have to read more up on how to install a custom ROM on the phone before messing with it again.
So my friend tried to flash the latest rom 23.1.D0.509 he said it would straight fail. He tried a different download, it failed somewhere flashing it. now the phone doesn't boot up. It will go into recovery (stock) and flash mode. when I try to flash the old or new ftf it gives me this erro "19/048/2015 20:48:37 - ERROR - Can't read a byte value" I'm now stuck. any ideas?
After banging my head against the wall a few times. i managed to flash back to 4.4, then it took to 5.0 I have no idea what happened. glad its fixed. i did check resetnvram to get rid of the " ERROR - Next to unit should be the size on 4 digits" after that went just fine
How did you get it to flash anything? I tried for a few hours to flash the leaked firmware using the ftf file and the Xperia flash tool but the tool doesn't have the z3v as an option what is the workaround to that I'm on stock firmware not rooted

I had issues with flashtool as well. Had the Z3 device driver, flashmode and fastboot drivers installed. Phone was in usb debugging mode and set to allow installation from unknown sources. Still had issues with it saying "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." .... "Error flashing. Aborted"
I read that someone had success with using an older version of flashtool, so I installed 9.18.4 and tried again.
I got the "Drivers need to be installed for connected device." Reinstalled those three drivers mentioned above and tried again.
Got the loader.sin error again, along with "Cannot identify your device." with a prompt to select a device from the list ( I usually chose Z3 (D6603) up until now).
BUT this time I hit cancel and was told "You can only flash devices."
I unplugged my phone, reloaded the ftf, hit flash and it began flashing!
Hope this helps.
The log below is continuous, I split it up for some clarity
Here's my log (was flashing to .376 before rooting to install prerooted lollipop):

Yesterday, I have been playing around with my phone (Z3V) and I was able to flash it to latest leak (23.1.D.0.509) and had no issues. Prior, Flashtool that I downloaded from flashtool.net, the latest version seemed to me that it will not put loader.sin into firmware content. With newest flashtool, the flashing might not work. If you need a detailed guide how to get to latest leak for your phone (z3v) then I will write it for you. I can only tell you how to do it without a root since I was not planning on rooting my device.
P.S. : I will make a video guide on how to flash z3v without root to 23.1.D.0.509 in few days.
Please do I don't see an official update any time soon

I don't know what went wrong, this is my first android phone so I'm new to this whole flashing and rooting thing.
Edit: Didn't install the flashmode driver beforehand
I have used the instruction to come back to kittkat. The FTF bundle is SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf and flashtool ver. 0.9.18.6
but when the flashing starts I got error, here is the log:

the first error "bundle not valid" I have ignored, as it was adviced on other forum and then connected the tablet in flashing mode (vol-) and quickly after that I got:

dude I only know that I had successfully downgraded from LP to KK just from flashtool..(the best I did for this tablet) check if your ftf is corrupted.it happened also to me 2 times in my other mobile devices..
how can I check if it is corrupted ?
That was my fault. I only choose the "generic drive" after running flastool-drivers.exe -
the driver specific for Z3 Compact Tablet was needed (was at the end of the list)
Nevertheles, after first attempt the Flashtool did not start flashing but enter into MTP mode and install
the drivers for the tablet, as I suppose.
Only after the second attempt it started flashing.
Now is ok, I have KK again.
