I think your downloaded ROM is corrupted. What ROM you are trying to install?
There are only 2 ways I think.
- Install stock .ftf with flashtool
- Redownload the rom, and put it again to your sdcard (of course you need a card reader for it)
Just an advice, it is better if you create a CWM backup before flash a new ROM.

Provided you've got the cable for the phone you can also do it with adb:
Adb push "C:\temp\MyRom.zip" /sdcard/
But you'll need to go have a google for how to set up ADB - the drivers should be in the "PC Companion" software for SE phones.

thanks fot your help you have been great. ive sorted it now
Ok, I have Xperia P with ICS 4.0.4, build number 6.1.B.0.544. I saw few tutorials for rooting our XP and all of them have too much steps in my opinion. So, I downloaded Flashtool 0.9.6.0 from Flashtool page, installed it on my PC and trz to root my phone with Root button, and simply followed the instructions from Flashtool. Now I have root acess with SuperSU app on my phone!
Could it be simpler than that?
Method for 6.1.B.0.544 and 6.1.B.0.559 update:
Rooting via Flashtool:
1. Download Flashtool 0.9.6.0 from Flashtool Homepage:
http://androxyde.github.com/
2. Install it on your PC
3. Run the Flashtool and connect your phone (enable USB debugging first/turn on unknown sources)
4. Hit the Root button (second in row)
5. When you see "waiting for restore to finish" open your phone and run Backup&Restore app and restore RootMe.tar file.
6. Wait until Flashtool do the rest of work
7. Enjoy!
Don't forget to hit THANKS button!
For those guys who dont have Backup&Restore.apk on their phones u can try to install it manually:
View attachment 1443500
EDIT: Method for 6.1.1.B.1.54/6.1.1.B.1.75 update:
1. Download .zip file attached below.
2. Update ur phone via Flashtool or PCC to 6.1.1.B.1.54/6.1.1.B.1.75 update.
3. Flash .559 kernel via Flashtool. (no need for checking kernel number on ur phone if flashing is successfully done, just go to the next step)
4. After flashing reboot ur phone and use regular method above for .544 and .559 firmware.
5. When u r done flash .54/.75 kernel via flashtool and reboot ur phone.
6. Enjoy!
EDIT 2: Method for JB update[LB]:
1. Root any of above ICS ROMs
2. Install OTA RootKeeper from Google Play Store
4. Start OTARootKeeper and click "Protect root"
5. Click "Temp. unroot"
6. Update JB via OTA
7. Enjoy!
If this doesn't work for you try with this method.

Didn't work because the Xperia P has to be running on ICS (mine is on GB) for step 5 to work; I installed that apk but it FC.

Bro
Actually before 10 minutes i just take decision to unlock my bootloader and flash doom kernel for flashing the deodexed .284 firmware... I downloaded all the files and just start to unlock my bootloader via sony site.. But my mind tell just check SP thread for some things and i check .. God .... U save me from unlocking the bootloader and missing the Bravia Engine 2...
Thanks a lot bro.. u r great...
Are you having issues with touch when connected to the charger? Also the Phone does not stay in off mode and turns on / boots up when I plug in.
I think you should look into the chargermon files.. many members report similar issues.
it worked like a charm :victory: so now do i have any need to unlock bootloader? i can install custom roms using cwm, right?
EDIT: I have just read on net that bootloader unlocking is necessary to install any custom ROM, then what is the point to make CWM for locked BL?

So you can install mods, backup system, use custom stock roms.... This is worth it.
Custom roms like cm,asop,Pac etc all need bootloader unlocked, as they use custom kernels.

To uninstall this, should I flash a stock ROM? or there are any easier methods?
If I can remember correctly from se arc forum there are 3 files you need to delete the main one is in system/bin-delete file called recovery.tar this will in effect delete cwm....
But I would leave installed as it is handy.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
If I want to uninstall and also unroot, but since my country ftf file is not there, so I can use SUS to repair the phone (since it's also download the firmware file) or just once I download then I convert to ftf file and flash via flashtool?
If you flash phone using sus root and cwm will be gone as they are installed into system just like normal apps.

Make sure you're on the latest version of flashtool also.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1. Have the latest version of Flashtool
2. You don't need to have CWR to flash FTFs. FTFs are usually stock Sony ROMs which are flashable without root. What you're about to do is installing CWR so you can flash a pre-rooted KitKat build (ZIP).
- Downgrade, root, backup TA if you haven't already, install CWR, flash ROM.

Go to: C:/Flashtool/flashtool drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe and install "flashmode drivers" and "fastboot drivers". After that, if it still doesn't work, download and run "Minimal ADB" from here. It'll install ADB etc. again.

Got it all sorted, I now have an unlocked bootloader.
One thing, It seems I cant update OTA or through PC companion, is that sound right? I havent seen anywhere where it says you cant do that.
It pops up saying " The system has been modified, you may not update " Or something along those lines
Do I have to update through a FTF? And for future updates will I not be able to get them? :'(
OTAs normally will fail. So you will have to use FTFs

Yeah, I got the same error. You HAVE to update to the latest Flashtool. It won't work unless you do that.
- Uninstall Flashtool
- Go to C:/Flashtool and move your 681 FTF from the firmware folder to your desktop
- Delete the whole Flashtool folder, or else you'll get the install error when you update
- Install the latest Flashtool version. It's the only one that supports KitKat FTFs.

Yup, that's what it should do in theory, but that isn't the case around here (Win7). It starts removing the old files and it does it just fine, but then when it's extracting the new files into their respective directories, I (and many others) get an error that a file (always the same file) can't be replaced, so the only way of doing (that i've done at least) is to just manually delete the whole folder. It's very strange.
(No, running the install file as admin doesn't change anything)
So, here is the .84 firmware with -86 baseband for the GSM Xperia Play.
From what I see, there are a few firmware changes since .79 firmware and a baseband update. Also, some applications like the Browser and the Phonebook seem to have some changes.
Download: R800i_4.0.2.A.0.84_Vodafone_DE_(1247-8566).ftf
How to Root:
1 - Download All 3 files from this Repository: .84 Firmware Rook Kit
2 - Flash R800i_.79_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
3 - Root Phone using Eroot1.3.5.exe Tool
4 - Flash R800i_.84_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
4 - Enjoy your .84 Rooted Firmware!
Thank you all!

Method 2 ) its working, but you must change kernel from stock to--> (Lupus, doomkernel)
I could not root my 800at phone with this firmware. I am on a locked bootloader/stock kernel. ive used 2 programs to root.
try to flash .79 kernel, then root, then flash .84 kernel again, it might work.
Added Root Method to first post!
I found i file call rootxperia.zip, flashed it nthrough cwm and it worked

I know it works, but you need to unlock the bootloader to do it that way
