[Q] Flash Mode not working after flashing GPe ported rom - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I decided to return to latest stock rom.. but flash mode is not working/gone? When I plug the usb cable while holding the volume - button, led will blink only.. after a minute or two phone will automatically boot. Fast boot is working btw.. Any ideas?
Edit:
I did not notice I double post..sorry, please delete

That's normal.
Don't connect your Ultra yet.
- Open Flashtool
- Choose the FTF you want to flash
- Let it prepare the FTF
A pop-up will... well... pop-up, asking you to turn off your device and enter Flashmode. Do that, and it'll start flashing the second you plug it into your computer.

I had windows issues at one stage and it would drom flashmod after about 30 seconds - not long enough to flash a ftf. a reinstall of the drivers fixed it (rebooy between uninstalling and re-installing)

I believe Flashmode is designed to disconnect if there isn't any "activity"? I.e if there isn't any data going to the device.
If i enter flashmode but don't flash anything, it'll disconnect after a minute or so. This is happening on both Win7 and Ubuntu. If it's flashing, then it won't disconnect. And there's no reason to enter flashmode until Flashtool has prepared the FTF. You can do all that without connecting the device.

Have You Bricked your ZU

After playing around with cooking my own rom from .290 stock I thought I had hard bricked my ZU
No recovery
Flashmode and Fastboot would only connect for the briefest moments
Flashtool could not flas an FTF as it would say "device disconnected" immediately
Flashtool could not flash a boot.img as the device would again disconnect before you could do any thing
The saving grace was @jackie099 's 4.3 root tool - used as it wasn't intended to be used
The thing with this tool is it waits for the device then flashes the boot.img where flashtool is the other way around for flashing a boot.img. ie the device has to be there before selecting the .img.
It may have taken 10 or more attempts to get a working recovery on the ZU
I suspect that I could have managed the same using adb/fastboot at the command line?
Links:
@jackie099 root tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576006
ps make sure that you keep a working rom and nandroid backup on the sd card - ie don't del the wrong nandroid and del the old rom's to make room
EDIT:
After 3 hours of fretting and thinking I had well and truly bricked the ZU and wasted $800 (yes I know that our money down here is near worthless ) I rebooted windows this morning - looks like most of the troubles was windows 8, and I had just a normalish soft-bricked ZU that any noob could have fixed. I feel so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA

With locked bootloader... Nah!!!! It's next to impossible to brick this beast....
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk
I managed to screw up while trying to root .290, my fix was to relock the bootloader via flash tool, then use PCC to reflash stock.
I bricked mine a couple times trying to root and install recoveries. I just used FlashTool. Worked for everthing.
The problem was not the soft brick, if I was worried about that I would not be playing with cooking my own version of 290
The problem was windows, with in a tenth of a second of connecting the phone windows would do something (reset the connection?) and then flashtool etc would say device disconnected. .1 of a second is not long to try an flash a boot image
Ps I have an unlocked bootloader
^^ you did "restart" in that special mode that allows unsigned drivers in win8 prior to setting up flashtool etc? (sry, don't a link, check flashtool thread maybe) 9 times out of 10 this is the issue with win8.

yep drivers all install correctly, was working fine one flash, then 15-20 min later after another (failed) flash it wasn't
in 14 years of linux I'm sure I never had the amount of random issues that I'v had in 6 months of windows 8
Yesterday I run into a similar problem when I try to flash the C6833 to my C6802. The flashtool stuck for like 10 minutes, and I had to leave urgently so that I.... manually remove the cable.
When I got home, I started everything again, and this time, it works for me.
To OP: I also had problem with windows8 because it does not recognize the drivers no matter how I tried. Desperatedly, I switch to Windows 7 (I have 2 system running), everything was pretty smooth and straight forward.

Win 8 you have to boot it into it's special boot mode and click through about 4 pages to find the correct place to tell it to load unsigned drivers,then it will work. But this wasn't an issue with unsigned drivers.
@blueether I had a ZU with locked bootloader, but after flash kernel with flashtool my phone is dead... No led, no power, PC can't recognized any driver...
With @jackie099 root tool you had put your ZU working?

Yes I used jackie's tool, but the real issue I had was windows not the phone.
How much battery did you have before you flashed?
What exactly did you flash?

Does flashtool say anything when you connect the phone?
Have you tried a reset (hold power and vol +) or have you tried a hard reset (the red button in side of the sim cover)?

The issue you're facing might be directly related to trying to use flash tools in Windows 8 rather than Windows 7.
There is an issue installing the drivers you need to flash the phone in Windows 8.
You need to enter something called 'special mode' and tinker with a few settings.

Same error in Windows 7 and Windows 8...
it seems like ive done the impossible with bricking my phone, locked bootloader and not rooted. power went out when 4.3 almost finished flashing and the phone wouldnt go into flashmode or fastboot. charging it would have flashing red> solid red> then nothing > and repeat.. trying to hard reset react sometimes and the red reset button does nothing.connecting it to the computer would make the "connected" sound then constantly play the "disconnect" sound.. nothing shows up in hardware management.
the good thing is i called sony on dec26 and recently got an RMA number, didnt have proof of purchase since it was a gift and the rep told me my warranty is still there so i sent it in and they just received it today, hopefully ill get a working zxu back soon.

[Q] I flashed the wrong rom

I flashed the wrong rom on my Xperia Z2, I tried fixing it by flashing tft file, but I couldn't even get the device into flashmode (Power + Vol up), It just never vibrates, when I put it in the charger it just keeps blinking red.
What's the proper fix for this? and is this a soft-brick or hard-brick? Please help.

Flashmode is not Power button + Volume up. But...
Connect USB to ur computer
Then Hold the Volume Down key on your phone while u connect the USB Cable to the phone.
If you successfully get to flashmode, then u can flash an FTF file for ur phone. (This will also wipe internal sd files if you don't untick 'data' under wipes) Then again, phone might not boot properly if you don't wipe as u said something about custom ROM.
OR Follow these steps I found on Sony website
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps
Tried using flashtool with Vol down buut
18/058/2014 23:58:26 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
18/058/2014 23:58:26 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I'm sure that I have the drivers installed as I tried earlier today to unlock the bootloader through flashtool (which didn't really work out) and it recognized the device just fine.
right now it doesn't even show the Sony logo..I'll try PC Companion method in seconds..
EditC Companion is asking me to make sure that the battery level is above %80, when I was flashing the new rom, the battery level was around %50, should I care about this, or is it just an extra precaution? because I don't really see a way for me to know the battery level.

I'm sure 50% is enough to install through PC Companion unless ur battery is bad.
And do you by anymeans use windows 8? If you do, Did you disable driver signature while installing Flashmode, Fastboot and Z2 drivers from the C:\Flashtool\drivers folder, or where ever u installed flashtool to.
I believe I didn't disable driver signature, I connected the device to a different usb port too just to be sure, my OS is windows 8.1.
PC Companion is updating the phone right now, I'll see how it turns out and report back to you, thanks.
Edit:It worked, my phone is alive, thank you, stanley <3

Please copy and paste your Flashtool log here, or attach it as a file.
OR:
Follow this instruction VERY CAREFULLY.
1- Disconnect your phone from the computer and turn it off completely.
2- Find and download an FTF that is specifically for your device. For example if your device is a C6833 find an FTF specifically for that model. You can find a ton of these FTFs in the general forum.
3- Make sure your Flashtool version is exactly 0.9.18.6. If not, uninstall it and install 0.9.18.6.
4- Run Flashtool and click on the icon that looks like a spark (flash device). Choose flash mode.
5- Navigate to the directory where the FTF is and select the directory.
6- You should see the contents of the FTF appear in the dialog window. Under "Wipe" select all of them (APPSLOG, DATA, and CACHE).
7- Click on flash and let the program do its work. Wait until it prompts you to connect the phone.
8- When prompted, hold the volume down key and then connect the phone to the USB port of the computer. Keep holding the key down until you see the flash starting. Wait until it completes.
If you get an error in any step, CLEARLY describe what fails AND include the error message by posting the log or a snapshot of your screen. If you just say "it didn't work" I won't be able to help.

If the phone not have enough battery do the following:
1- Makes sure it is turned off. To do so you can hold the power and volume up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds and then you will feel a vibration and then the phone will turn off.
2- leave the phone connected to a charger for about 10 hours.
If that doesn't charge the phone you will have to take it to a Sony repir center.

If the phone not have enough battery do the following:
1- Makes sure it is turned off. To do so you can hold the power and volume up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds and then you will feel a vibration and then the phone will turn off.
2- leave the phone connected to a charger for about 10 hours.
If that doesn't charge the phone you will have to take it to a Sony repir center.

I am sorry I'm trying to help you, but unfortunately I don't understand your sentence.
I looked at the log that you posted. it seems that when you connect your phone to the computer in step 8, the phone is not turned off.
Try turning the phone off again the way I told you. When you are turning it off if should not be connected to the computer or charger. Otherwise it turns right back on.
And don't worry about heating. After the phone is turned off you can connect it to the charger for many hours.
Don't try anything new. Just follow the instructions I gave you.

No flashmode - Random reboots

Hello guys, I have another problem with this m4...
I cannot get into flashmode. Using Windows 7 with all drivers and using the original cable in a usb 2.0 When I connect the phone holding the button i see the green led lightning for a moment, then it turn off and again light up for a moment. After this, in pc I see "SOMC Flash Device" but the flashing not start with any version of FlashTool.
And then, with the stock rom (tried many versions) the phone sometimes freeze and reboot after 5-10 minutes.
How can I fix? I want to relock the bootloader and flash the original rom in tft format. But still no flashmode....
P.S. fastboot working fine.
I've been there also...
Flash this via fastboot-mode and then you should be able to connect via flashmode.

I don't know, is there another rom which can be install via fastbootmode...
Thanks, but not worked, still the same problem...
Reboot your PC. Sometimes it helps.
Still the problem.... Can be caused by unlocked bootloader?
No, I don't think so.
So you connect your phone on flashboot after when flashtool ask to do it?
Yes, but anytime I try to put device into flashmode, not work...
Ok, now the device freeze and reboot also in normal mode, without connect to pc. I tried to reconnect the battery and enter flashmode, but nothing work... Only fastboot, twrp and system with random reboots.....
What about flashmode driver do u install them

Bricked z3v with magisk.

Bricked z3v with magisk, if I plug the phone in to either a wall socket or PC it vibrates, endlessly at three second intervals, each time with red LED. If I try to enter flash mode, then its the same but with a brief green led after the red. I can enter fastboot. Need help!
Your device is error bootloader, it need make hardware is repair bootloader. All off soft fix is not ok.

Hope you could fix the phone, that happened to me and the solution was to flash with flashtool an stock ftf.

You press flash in flashtool, then choose flashmode in flashtool, later look for the stock rom you already downloaded using xperifirm, when it asks, you connect the phone pressing volume down. It worked for me.
You can just try to flash Kernel.sin from your ftf using Flashtool. Make sure your flashmode drivers fastboot drivers are installed properly.
Cause I had the same experience and I managed to recover my phone just by flashing Kernel.sin. So that way you can save your internal storage data.
If it fails then you're out of luck and you'll have to flash the entire FTF.
Hope this helped
