Try offline updating with Flashtool and ftf
For rooting is for only ICS on locked bootloaders
currently support build number .10 firmware

Did you install drivers in your PC ?
It is in Drivers folder of flashtool
Volume down and plug USB if flashtool is telling you to plug in your phone..
Then Green LED will appear on your phone and it will off if it is started flashing firmware..
You have some steps that are wrongly following I think..
Try again..

Okay i installed driver still nothing.

st15i wont turn on after update

Hi, today i unlocked my phone's bootloader. After that my phone updated itself with the official sony firmware and now my phone wont turn on... i even dont see the red light or whatever...
Can it be fixed? Thanks for the help
I'm a N00B
Ya it still can be fixed.
Just download the firmware ftf file and flash using flash tool.
then it will be back to normal.

Thanks for the fast reply. When i put my phone into the pc i hear 3 peeps and the flashtool says please install or reinstall device drivers from drivers folder. But the drivers wont install...
You need additional drivers for windows to recognise the phone in flashmode. Pc companion only installs ADB drivers. They should be installed since you have already unlocked the bootloader. Perhaps try to reinstall the drivers for flashmode then?

Don't use standard method
Use battery removal method
Remove battery
Plug USB cable only
When software says press back key....
Hold back button while reinserting battery
That will work for sure
Unless you have a USB problem
Or an underlying hardware fault
Also make sure to remove sim and memory card

flashing a firmware from flashtool doesn't work? right?

about fastboot

hey guys, i've just formatted my PC and installed the latest flash tool, how come my phone is not detected in C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib?? i used "fastboot devices" and nothing is detected, i tried flashing kernel directly and as well nothing happen, it just says 'waiting for devices'
How can I solve this?? there's blue light on my phone already and driver has been installed, do I need to install S1 tool or what other things i missed out??my computer is totally clean now with all needed drivers and Win 8 pro installed .
PS: i've flashed many roms and kernel before already,so this is not my first time

If yes, just check "always trust software from google inc" or something like that then just hit Yes, then you wont see that again ,
Hope helped

1.) Bring up Charms by mousing over to the right of the screen
2.) Go to Settings
3.) Change PC Settings
4.) General
5.) Scroll down to Advanced Startup > Restart Now
6.) Trouble shoot
7.) Advanced options
8.) Windows startup options
9.) Restart
10.) Choose F7 (I believe) or click on "Disable driver signature enforcement"
11.) Reboot
go and thank here

flashmode has no probs only when trying fastboot. don't you have probs with it?
Call me crazy or something but you have to search another same phone
and connect it your pc with MTP after your phones driver installed you are good to do all that things again cause I have gone through this got success with that.....
May be you can give a try.. Best of luck and if it worked plz do let me know.....

You need to install the ADB sony drivers... 's1fastboot' requires these. Do a search on google and they will pop up.
actually here are the drivers:
HSPA+ http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-driver/
LTE http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-c6833-c6806-c6843-driver/
If PC companion still doesnt work then you will need to use 'flashtool' and can then flash an FTF firmware file.
flashtool: http://dfiles.eu/files/lbbuacfhe
.532 firmware: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_rMaA9i_MUSRi1zWlpCOXV4RUE/edit?usp=sharing
I was thinking of making a video on how to do all of these steps, however I have to fly out in a couple of hours so wont have time until next week...
thank you .... !! i will try all these ... i have a slow internet..

Next time, don't try to tweak a stock kernel. If you're not sure how stuff works, don't mess with it. If you're not sure about something then ask us before you do stuff like this. There's a reason why we're all here.

I emailed you this, but may have gone to spam..
they are just driver ini files and system config settings.
1) right click on my computer
1a) properties
2) device profile
3) look for devices without drivers
4) update driver
5) advanced/
6) have disk
7) use the unzipped folder as the location
8) yes continue with unsigned driver version
done
i may have missed a step as I only have access to my Ultra at the moment, but thats what you need to do

The correct for fastboot is blue led always on
When using S1 mode the green led blinks then no led if im right
And use flashtool instead, much easier

Can't Flash !

Hello, recently I tried to flash my phone in flashtool and always stuck at "reading device information", even xperia companion can't detect it !
I re-installed all drivers, tried old versions of flashtool and firmware but always the same problem.
My phone is rooted but I don't know about bootloader. Any help? suggestions?
Thanks
Hi, I managed today to get mine working again. I had rooted it with RR but then got a bootloop. After giving up I found a forum that mentioned Sony Emma and I have managed to get my phone back to stock rom and working fine again.

Disable windows driver signature enforcement.
https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Restart your pc or laptop.
Install ADB.You might not need this but just to be on the safe side.
URL="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE&authuser=0
Install flashtool-0.9.18.6 with all the drivers.
(For some reason this is the most compatible one for Xperia Z2)
Then try flashing again.

It really seems like a flashtool/driver issue .I had the same error a while back , i used that version and it's drivers as i mentioned earlier and everything worked fine.
Just to be on the safe side,give it a try on another pc and see ✌
