Using flashtool is fine, but its limited to you have the correct firmware you want to flash. This person may want the firmware from their region, not the generic world or whatever they may have.
Hi,
first I read the tutorials and followed them but I was not far away from bricking my phone.. Here is what I did:
Installed Flash Tool 0.9.5.0 and drivers
Started Flash Tool and selected Flashmode, started phone in Flashmode
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0076";ERR_DYNAMIC=" Flash too small for current partitioning"
Device didn't boot, showed triangle with "!" inside..
Searched the internet..
Flashed again with checkbox "Exclude Partition" checked..
Flashed successfully..
Disconnected Phone, powered on - short vibration but black screen
Restored original firmware with SEUS - now booting again but with Android 2.3..
Anyone an idea how to install ICS??
Thanks in advance

As I said I'm back on stock GB already.. I have not unlocked BL or rooted the phone, I only wanted to flash stock ICS as on update check it doesn't find ICS update (got phone from german provider 1&1).. I don't see why this tutorial should help me with my problem..

This does not belong to the Dev section, post in the relevant section next time onwards.
Thread moved to the Q & A section.

OK tried Sony Update Service and PC Companion and update check on the phone.. It says allways that I'm on the newest firmware but I'm still on GB.. Thats the reason why I wanted to flash it the manual way.. On the internet it was said around 20th of august that the update is rolling out
Can it be so hard? Flashed several phones before but failing hard on Xperia P..
So current situation, newest GB but no idea how to get official ICS working (always partition error with Flash Tool and black screen when flashing with exclude partition..)..
Huge mistake on my side!! The phone is XPERIA U not P as I thought.. Shame on me.. Guess I have to wait a few days more until the update arrives.. Sorry for my mistake and thanks for the help!
Small sideeffect, we now know that flashing XPERIA P rom on XPERIA U doesn't work
bro... how can u flashed into stock rom.. i cant..:\

I think you have to use flashtool and use FTF firmware to be found here in the forum...
Hey guys,
Can I still use the easy root tool to root after updating to the 4.4.4 firmware?
Thanks
Nope
I tried but it is getting stuck on CREATING VM (JAVASUCKS)
Same here... +1 Stuck on "Creating VM... "
No, the known flaws in 4.4.2 are all patched for latest fw, only current way around it is to downgrade, root install dual recovery and flash a pre-rooted zip from CWM.
In other words;
Go back to .314 (4.4.2) firmware,
Root,
Install a recovery,
And flash the new 4.4.4 firmware via recovery.

There are new rumors that you can root 314 - select preserve mode in SuperSU - and go OTA... and root will remain...

Yeah I've heard that aswell. It's most likely working. Shall I try it? Just spent a few hours getting 4.4.4 work on my phone with root...
Ah right - Fuuuun...
I think i'll just carry on stock until someone sorts out a rooting method for 4.4.4 that doesn't involve so much faffing about lol.
Thanks for all the replies
Just keep a eye in Z3 Section too
4.4.4 firmrare is a near direct port
Hi folks,
I have a new 4.4.4 Z2, should I root it now or wait after the Lollipop version is installed?
Will I be able to install the Lollipop when rooted?

The official LOS comes with built-in recovery. which is quite crippled in what it can flash. If you have TWRP installed it should come with kernel or installed to FOTA partition.
In both cases check, that you're using TWRP 3.2.x.x version.

I ended up flashing the second newest version (3.0.x.x.) and then flashed the latest lineage os and it worked . There is something wrong with the latest TWRP.
