Okay, I have a big problem with my phone, I decided to redo the operating system to a new version/ROM because the one i was using on it before several issues where coming up with it, 1: I Couldn't connect to other providers even though i had phone unlocked. 2: Some default programs where having problems starting.
So When doing a kernel upgrade my phone did not respond kept staying for 2 hours on the "SE" logo, and would not budge, so i decided to remake it, after about 4 hours i was able to get a OS on it, but this OS was older and out of date, when trying to go back to xRecovery it did not want to come up, i downloaded a Reboot to Recovery APK, which informed me that My "xRecovery" was not installed, which is weird because it was installed before.
I been trying to get the Default root method to install xRecovery which every time i ran the "Flash tools" program, it would not allow me to install xRecovery.
If anyone can contact me on skype "mradziwilko" to help me out, or post here ill be here checking on forum every min.
Thanks
Anyone would love some help?

Hi buddy, Have you tried to use ftf file like zahdi5h, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212260 to update?
You have to have unlocked boot loader and you can drag and drop the ftf into flash tool. Make sure you tick no final verification in flashtool or you will get error.
If that don't work then I suggest starting over with fresh 2.3.3.
Go back to stock using Sony Ericsson Update Service (seus) Use google or search threads for program.
Then just re-do, unlock boot loader and install recovery again with flashtool.
Hopefully zahdi5h ftf file will get you out of trouble.

I downloaded this FTF File, when opening it with the latest Flash Tool, it does not Recognize it.
Is their a possability you can link me another FTF, i know CM9 worked, but because i dont have a boot loader i need a ftf to be flashed, i tried with the IMG file, but the flashtool.exe keeps saying <Waiting for Device> and does nothing.
Also to add more info :
My Phone I thought was originaly a Xperia X10a, which it bios it says its a Xperia X10i.

Hi mate is your boot loader unlocked? If not then unlock it with flashtool. Try Version 0.9.10.1 of flashtool. Work's for me.
Download from http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1373179542000
And you can also drag and drop the FTF file into flash-tool. FTF contains Kernel and rom., tick the no final verification box on bottom right.

Hey there,
Could someone plz tell me if there is anyway to flash Stock recovery on my z2 ? I want to install the OTA update but having custome recovery means the process gonna fail.
To avoid that problem I downloaded the latest firmware through XperiFirm but unfortunately unpacking was aborted for some unknown reason ... Tried to unpack again then a message of "missing files " appears" . Now I can't download it through XperiFirm again as my connection is slow right now and the only option is the OTA which is much smaller by 1 gb ( XperiFirm files =1.3 gb,,,, OTA=~260 mb).
Any help ?
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.
