I used the latest version of flashtool several times on my xa F3111 no problem at all, only use it in simple mode and the only thing I left out was the simlock.ta part of the ftf i included everything else and as long as the boxes checked match the ones in the attached image you should have no problems...

I think that there is a dangerous problem with Flashtool and XA Ultra. I flashed many times my XA without problems (upgrade and downgrade) too. As you can see I opened 2 threads to centralize bricked devices to confirm that. I hope that unlucky users will reply on them to help us understanding the origin of the problem.
Anyone asked the author of Flashtool?

Hello, folks.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
I have an Xperia Neo V (MT11a), and I figured out that changing the build.prop file to make my phone "pretend" to be a MT11i would make my phone able to play some HD games. And yeah, it works. But I am having some issues on some games (specially Modern Combat 3) that I suspect that should end by upgrading my firmware.
So, as I am seeing now by reading the forum threads, it seems that my firmware version is quite old (4.0.1.A.0.283, running Android 2.3.4).
I really searched the forum about how to upgrade my firmware, but all threads I faced stated that having the 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a primary requirement; I didn't find a thread about upgrading from 4.0.1.A.0.283 to a newer one.
So, how can I upgrade my firmware? Because, here in Brazil, PC Companion always reports that my phone is up to date (but we know that it is not!).
Waiting for an answer, and thanks in advance.
Sir search for sony ericsson update service application for your pc..
(can't post URL cause i'm using only my phone)
Use it if pc companion are not working..
If i helped tou!! Pls press thanks button..)))

Then you gotta use flashtool,read flash tool guide on the link down

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
Then use the link down to download 0.42 ftf file and flash with flashtool,backup everything like contacts,apps,sms etc... before flashing as you will loose everything in the phone and after the flash it will be like brand new from the factory.

If pc companion is telling him that he have latest fw, will seus tell something different? I think those 2 are using same database

I agree, it's the same situation in Croatia, the updates come a bit later so you will have to flash it manually. I tried both and got no updates for .62 i think.
Actually...the newbies(i wont use noobies...it sounds kinda offensive) are a bit scared to tinker upon their new phones...they do search...but rely upon the seniors for assurance...but it is a boring task to answer again and again same type of queries.
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
I had the same problem with my MT15i but one day crossed my fingers and used Wotan. If you are afraid about command lines and other stuff like I was before I suggest you try wotan, it's very intuitive and simple.
my friend has an xperia p. he has been using it for like 4 or 5 months. there is no warranty and we don't have any sony service centers in my country.
he switched the phone to airplane mode and switched back but now the phone does not show any signal and it doesn't detect the sim card also baseband is shown as unknown..
please if anyone can help on this
anyone who can help on this?
Try factory reset, if it will not help, download flashtool, firmware tft and flash it. It shouldbe ok. But try factory reset first and dont forgetto backup your data...

I have tried a few methods, relocked bootloader then used SUS to repair but problem still there. I used flashtool to compile ftf from SUS download folder, with the same outcome. recently I have found jellybean release from o2uk (as I'm from England) but baseband imei and imei sv are all unknown and it won't read SIM. I have tried ics firmware with same result, even have a few old cwm backups from months ago when phone had no problems but they don't make any change. I'm starting to think a bad flash may have damaged the TA

Sent From Cybertron With My Powerfull Xperia P
both phones has shinano platform, so maybe it would work, but if not, will this hard brick my device?
I tried to flash Xperia SL, acro S and ion firmware on my Xperia S (all four phones has fuji platform) and it was working, so I think that it should work with Z2 and Z3 too. I also tried to flash Xperia T and Z firmware on my Xperia S and it wasn't working and just soft bricked my device. I tried to flash custom rom on locked bootloader Xperia S and it was just a bootloop. I have tried many stupid things on my XS and nothing has hard bricked it. I read that locked bootloader devices cannot be hard bricked just soft bricked, is it true? I can't hard brick a locked bootloader phone?
Its somewhat true, a Locked Bootloader is Harder to hardbrick that a unlocked Bootloader but the Z2 has a dedicated reset Key
Z3 firmware should run fine on Z2, just needs to be modified a tiny bit and compiled with the correct board config
Im not going to try it because i actualy need my phone
And why do you need to flash Z3 firmware when 167 update is a near direct port from the Z3

I don't know why, I just want it. and maybe Z3's 5.0 update comes a bit sooner than Z2

Emm, don't think so. Sony said that both Z3 and Z2 will be first to receive 5.0 so I think we both should have a 5.0 on the same day.

Wrong place, technically the same but they run different firmware no's so no good for the normal xa and multiple repeat questions in different threads/forums is called spamming and a also against xda rules I do believe I've answered your question already

It is not the same, dude. I got three devices, X, XA and XA ultra. I am asking for all devices for safety because my friend bricked his XA ultra by flashing with flashtool.

Flashing a device is never fully safe, not only on phones. You will always see warnings about that. Read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)
I know the term. There are two types, soft brick and hard brick. I have flashed over hundred xperia devices with flashtool and got never hard bricked. I just want to know the experience of flashing new Xperia X series cuz XA and XAU are MTK devices.

A messages for bricked phones with void warranty, did you tried to open the device and remove the battery for flashing? You can see around the Web that's a solution to unbrick some MTK devices.

See other post, there is a way to do it using script
My situation is that after rooting, my front camera just stopped focusing, and i also noticed that the app crashes when it need to adjust the exposure (if i bring the phone to a more bright enviroment), so i believed that using the Xperia companion "repair software" option would unroot my phone and lock the bootloader again, but surprise! I just recently saw on a sony support page that Xperia companion doesn´t works with modified devices, so i don´t know what to do in order to restore my XA ultra to verify if the root was the cause of the front camera stopped working
Model F3213
Sorry for my bad english, greetings from México!
I got same issue as you (mine f3216)..don't worry, you just need to reflash stock firmware by latest flashtool..make sure you exclude all .ta file before flash stock firmware.
I found this issue and make an experiment and i believe this problem exist after flash boot.img...we need help from rrvuhpg to compile boot.img from latest firmware..
Btw, now my f3216 hard bricked when i downgrade fw..i sent to sony..waiting my dead f3216 live..huhu
So if I exclude all the.ta files before flashing my XA won't hard brick? I don't want to take the risk of going into a hard brick, the Sony team here on Mexico is a mess
