So I have the Z5 Compact which had full device encryption on it.
I was under the Sony Support section and about to reinstall android due to an issue about my microphone. All went happy until it rebooted and came up with the message
"The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again."
I have tried and tried and tried, and no success so far. I have even installed FlashTool and downloaded the latest stock firmware. On flashtool, I get as far as:
03/035/2016 17:35:18 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing

This is as far as it gets.
Can anyone help?
Why didn't you try official EMMA / SEUS from Sony first?
Never heard of them... Will have to look into that now.
Emma doesnt seem to support Z5 (going by website compatibility), and I cant find any information about SEUS.

Hi All,
I have just discovered the realms of rooting and Android Roms, so I decided to get Cyanogenmod on my phone.
It went astoudingly well.
After some time, I started looking for other ROMS and I thought I'd have a try on pac-man rom.
Thus I downloaded the files and I followed the instructions (namely flashing boot.img through fastboot, factory reset and flashing Rom in CWM).
The only problem: the phone does not want to boot properly, it gets stuck on the boot animation and I can't get my device to boot in fastboot
After some searching, I came to the conlusion that I should flash stock firmware using flashtool (of which i'll append the log), BUT i accidentally flashed X10 firmware and when I try to connect it to my PC, it went straight into flash mode.
After charging my phone, I managed to flash the CM9 boot.img (with the fastboot console) and I get the right FreeXperiaProject logo, but I can't access recovery anymore and I think it's in a bootloop; every so often the screen gets dark, just to reveal the same logo afterwards.
Any possible solutions?
I will very greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you both for replying! The simplicity of your answer makes me feel even more of a noob ;D
Where can I find this stock ROM and how do I flash it (I have only had experience with flashing via CWM)

Download this https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B522s-mwpnl0NHVaaERrdGFJUUk/edit?pli=1 , unzip it and move the ftf file into flashtool/firmwares folder. After this, open flashtool and hit flashmode , select the rom and in exclude tab uncheck simlock if exists. Hit flash and connect the phone into flashmode

Need help unlocking bootloader on Xperia z2 using flashtool (windows 8.1)
Hi, I posted this on a thread a couple of days ago and someone said I rather should post it here. So I hope somebody can help me with my issue. Sorry for my poor english.
This is the first time im trying to root a phone.
I bought the xperia z2, and when the official way to onlock the bootloader failed (sony), I tried to use Flashtool.
I started with downloading the flashtool, and followed every step to download it correctly. When everything was set, I connected the phone to the pc while holding the minus volume button.
The phone then connects to the pc and flashtool starts unlocking the bootloader. But after a couple of seconds the phone disconnects automatcally. It isnt something wrong with the USB cable, it connects fine without the flashtool.
This problem persists after trying over and over again. I have reinstalled flashtool and all the drivers. Turned off antivirus and changed the pc setting so it enables me to install the flashtool hardwares. Im using windows 8.1.
The message I get from flashtool from I start up flashtool til the phone disconnect is this:
