Google is ur friend, but os emma for unlocked bootloaders only?
You can upgrade by this tool also
http://www.flashtool.net/
Does anyone know where Emma stores downloaded services (roms)? I'd like to save it for later use. I'm using Windows 10 x64 and older answers seem to be outdated. It now installs to "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Sony Mobile\Xperia Flash Tool"
edit: Found it in "C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Xperia Flash Tool\2021-01-04-173003\localstorage\Default"
There are 3 json info files and 3 files with no extension that you can open with 7zip.

Title says it all...almost.
Was already rooted on 4.4.2.
I did a TA backup.
Then I followed the instructions located here to get custom XZDualRecovery .
All worked great!
Was able to boot into TWRP and Philz successfully.
Performed a full backup in TWRP onto a thumb drive over OTG cable.
Then wiped everything via TWRP in preparation for a CM11 rom.
Rebooted before trying to flash CM11.
Now can only boot to sony logo, fastboot, and "System Recovery" mode. (the mode that has 'continue power up' 'safe mode' 'factory reset' and 'power down'
I, like all the other noobs who didn't RTFM, missed the ''Be sure to flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery!'' part of the XZDualrecovery post. =(
Now, my questions is, what if you DID forget to flash dual recovery after wiping?
What happens now?
I am thinking, is there a way to flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip via fastboot?
If so, how?
Thanks for your time and be gentle.
after 8 days with no help, I read 10 different threads on 10 different issues that KIND of pertained to my problem.
Wrote all Pertinent info down on a sheet of paper over the course of 4 days of searching.
And then started piecing together a solution.
Here's what I did to fix my issue for anyone who has the same problem.
1. Download xperifirm and select correct firmware for device
2. used Flashtool to convert above downloaded firmware to FTF
3 put tablet into flashmode
4. flash FTF file via flashtool
5. viola!
Thanks..I think.

Had a similar situation, sorry I didn't see this earlier to help out. No need to convert firmware, you can use Flashtool to download your carriers latest FTF

Thanks for the reply!
I do have a question about the ''you can use flashtol to download your carriers latest ftf" part.
are you referring to being able to download the firmware from the flashtool site here?
Or can you actually do it directly from the flashtool program?
My 2 problems are, 1. I do not see ANY firmware for my SGP561 (verizon) tablet on the website
and 2. I do not see any options for firmware download in the flashtool program
EDIT: Found it! Flashtool program > Devices > Check Updates
Is there a way to flash downgrade your firmware to a lower build number so you can officially unlock through Sony's dev site?
I want to flash TWRP recovery to my phone using the instructions in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-0-0-touch-recovery-t2688925 .
I downloaded the stock firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 and extracted it.
I then downloaded flashtool version 0.9.19.8 for my Arch linux.
I select tools -> sin editor and then I browse to kernal.sin file, I select extract data.
here is a screenshot of what I end up with :
http://postimg.org/image/az41yiutz/
That's it, it stops at that point "Starting data extraction".
I check the folder where kernel.sin is and I don't see any kernel.elf.
I closed flashtool and started the process again.
It's the same and it has taken almost an hour now.
I patched flashtool to the latest version and tried again, still the same.
I also tried runing flashtool from terminal, because flashtool is started by java any "possible errors" are not thrown on the terminal(I guess it's redirected to the textarea in the flashtool Window).
does extraction take that long ? if not what can I do ?
Some notes:
I downloaded the firmware instead of getting it straight from my phone because my phone is not rooted and I read I can't get boot.img without rooting it.
I'm not willing to connect my phone or root it in order to get boot.img, the reason for this is easy : I want TWRP so that I can root xD xD, other rooting ways may exist but TWRP is cool anyway and I found rooting instructions on howtogeek(a website that I like) and they say to use TWRP so that's the way I'm gonna use.
If there is a bug in flashtool where can I report it ? I didn't find anything in flashtool's homepage.
Like many Sony owners out there, I wanted to get the fingerprint scanner to work on the new XZ1 phone and all was going well when I loaded the Sony Flasher, then was able to download the CE1 (central European) firmware. I was even able to uncompress all the files out of the FTF file BUT here is where it stops...
When I go to FLASH the new firmware the Flasher software can't even see any of the new downloaded firmwares as the Firmware Selector is empty. I've looked all over in the Flashtool/Firmware directories and can see them in Windows Explorer but the Flasher can't.
Do I need to add a file/files so that the Flash tool can see it? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers!
Martin

For flashing a firmware, it must be in ftf format, and be located in a folder outside of flashtool folder.
Hello everyone.
I recently unlock bootloader and root my phone. I used flashtool with boot.img and recovery.img.
I want official latest software again. How can I find it?
Code:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/open-source-archive-for-26-3-a-0-140-26-3-b-0-140/
As you can see, I found this page but I downloaded .tar file; not .img file. Besides, it is only one file; how can I find two files like boot.img and recovery.img?
I am new at these things and I could not solve it. Can you help me?
Thanks for advance.
You need to use flashtool. Download latest stock rom (official ie os6.) approx. 1.8gb file. Then connect your device to flashtool. Open a tutorial video from youtube to flash your device to latest stock rom. You need to take a nano backup of system and data. And then enter twrp and wipe cache, system and datav. And then flash
I'm trying to flash over to an official firmware so that I can use android 11. Softbank isn't going to bother updating to it. Flashtool keeps getting stuck and telling me that I need an unlocked bootloader. How did you guys manage to do this?
I get stuck at "sending getvar product" every time. or I get an error after parsing boot delivery. I've tried many different firmwares from xperifirm with no luck.
I figured it out myself. I used newflasher. For anyone running into the same problem as me, extract the exe only for newflasher into the folder you downloaded from xperifirm. Delete the simlock.ta file and then flash. Flashtool doesn't seem to work with the 802SO and a locked bootloader.
