Try to install flashmode drivers from flashtool folder, your Gordon gate driver look strange for me.

Think I destroyed my phone

Hi, I just did very, very bad thing. i wanted to try ICS alpha on my SE NEO, so I unlocked boot loader, followed all steps of manual and then, I realized it's for NEO V and for this it is not gonna work. But it was the time when I already flashed boot.img and userdata.img. So I wanted to heal it. The "best" idea what came was to erase "system" partition on my device... Sounds nice, noah? And now, problem (It's all big problem) I downloaded Xperia flasher, downloaded Stock firmware for NEO and I dont know how to get it there. In Flasher It looks like this, when I start and it stucks on it...

Hey XDA Community
I had to get a replacement Sony Xperia Z Ultra recently due to a fault and have now received a new handset but i am having alot of trouble with it this time round when it comes to either flashing/rooting/unlocking
heres my previous thread i made before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446766&highlight=unbranded
I cant for the life of me flash this new handset :S
All drivers are installed correctly, and have latest version of flashtool even updated the handset to the latest
build number 14.1.B.2.257
I keep getting the message saying error please install drivers etc etc
but the drivers are installed and correct
also i tryed to root the phone but no success as i think i read the build number i am now on cant be rooted so fair enough, i wanna flash this phone with the unbranded file in my previous thread but i seem to be stuck as i cant get the flashtool to work
is there another way
Hey hey! I got the same problem as you and guess what, it was Flashtools fault.
I installed 3 different versions and flashtool-0.9.12.1-windows worked for me!
So I recommend that you try 11, 12 and the latest being 13.
cools i did try another version but got the same crap will try other versions of flashtool
damn... same problem get the same message install drivers flash aborted

And you're 100% sure that you installed the drivers from the folder? So when you connect the phone there aren't any triangles in device manager? I had loads of trouble installing drivers and then realized I had to turn off driver signature check on Windows 8.
When I installed drivers I could flash with version 12. I really just recommend you to uninstall and reinstall. I reinstalled a couple times.
Makes me wonder why.
i just updated to windows 8.1 how do i turn off signature check?
i managed to get it turned off now and drivers are installed now but still get the same message

Reinstall Flashtool. Reinstall between 12 and 13 a couple times.
Thats what I did.

I disabled driver signature verification (by googling 'disable driver signature windows 8.1'), then re-installed the drivers (Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe in my case, but you should try with the latest ones!), then it worked.
bcdedit is your friend. See this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553484(v=vs.85).aspx

you can find the driver in local disk C or program file where you have install flashtool, you can find file driver, and then you open flashtool-driver.exe, just follow prosedure (click next) choose your type driver and finish it until the end.
after that you just flash the phone as usual.

Try to repair it using Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3
thank you sir
so it means their is no other mannual way?
Since internet connection is very slow here, and frequently power problem so these are only two options left ?
Kindly tell me what went wrong while flashing? It will help me in future.

You can of course try flashing another .ftf for your device using a notebook so the power won't get down and you should flash it successfully. But be sure to select the ftf first and click okay and when the popup appears to connect the phone, connect the phone in flashmode
If that doesn't help try the repair option in one of the other two programs, and if you download/use them on a notebook then there shouldn't be any problem with your power

Thanks for your guidance and help me more,
I just found out that may be the cause of bricking my phone is due to absance of abd drivers as well exact drivers of sony lww.
Though i have installed pc companion and flashtools my phone yet to detected by both.
I installed drivers from flastool's drivers folder but sony lww's drivers are not in it.
I found drivers from out side as well but nothing happened.
The proof of absenceof drivers are this log .
Take a look
log
un able to paste log here, so im attaching.
Kindly look into it

here we go.
I was in 2.3.6 gb, then I planned to update my Sony lww.
their is two ways to update your phone one is company's which dont need rooting (as well no boot loader unlocking )
it won't void your warrenty.
all you need is patience, data connection, + ,ABD drivers ( to recognise any android phone to computer).
and most importantly Sony phone update utility softwares.
(download latest softwares from Sony's website - google it )
1) install downloaded Sony update utility software on your computer.
2) here you must tweat your phone before connecting your phone to computer.
a) go to phone's setting > app setting > tick " un known source".
b) at the bottom of settings their is a { } developers option > tick debugging mode.
3) switch off your phone.
4 ) Run Sony software update utility
5) it will ask you to connect your phone
(press volume down button ) while doing so a green light blinks its indicates you are in flash mode means you can flash firmware officially or manually.
6) after connecting phone drivers recognise your phone and software promote you to select the phone model. select yours.
7) and rest of the work will be done by Sony update utility software. all you need is " PATIENCE "
software will download latest firmware and it will automatically install into your phone.
after completion you will guide to disconnect your phone. do as it is.
first boot will take few minutes to settle down in your phone.
now your phone is updated to a new one.
[ if you have rooted your phone dont worry flash it its not a problem ]
[ if you have unlocked boot loader. LOCK IT and then connect your phone ]
[IF YOU HAVE A SOFT BRICKED PHONE LIKE ME,
SONY SOFTWARE UPDATE UTILITY IS AWESOME TO REPAIR IT JUST TRY IT ].
YOU WILL GET A NEW SOUL TO YOUR BROKEN PHONE.
THANK YOU.

For clockworkmod use the xparts app from the playstore, it'll install cwm if your phone is rooted
For link to SD search a tutorial please, as I don't know much about it, but I remember there are some good tutorials on how to use it
And yes there are some roms for locked bootloader, check development section for some of them :good:

now friends manuall way for un bricking. + locked boot loader sony live with walkman
hi guys in my previous post I told you about official way of un bricking using sony update utility now its non official way ( manually)
before I start I would like to inform you that, most of the problems arises for any upgradation is in initial stages.
like absence of ABD drivers for sony lww .
some times though you have installed the drivers your phone won't recognise by the computer.
so install sony companion it will install drivers along with your abd drivers.
keep your downloaded drivers file on desktop when computer prompt you to install drivers their will be two options
( |) it will automatically search and install drivers. if it shows no drivers press back button and their will be another option
(||) SELECT FROM SPECIFIC LOCATION.
SELECT it and browse the file LOCATION on the desktop now try to install.
after connection the phone to comp wait few min it will recognise for sure.
Now the tools you require to manually flash firmware are
¤ your dead phone
¤ latest flash tool ( search for flashtool for sony Ericsson)
[flashtool also have drivers give it a try to. LOCATION ( C/FLASHTOOL/DRIVERS) ]
¤ and your firmware (tft) file.
¤ firmware file must be same as your phone's firmware when it got bricked. I mean version must be same.
¤ prepare your phone by ticking unknown source, mtp mode, and usb debug mode.
¤ now place your *tft file in C/FLASHTOOL/FIRMWARE. (make sure it must be empty else it will confuse new users) -
¤ now open installed flash tool connect your phone by holding volume down button.
¤ when your phone get detected by flashtool click flash
¤ it will ask you to flash in flash mode or in fastboot mode, click flash mode.
¤ hold your breath till firmware get installed.
¤ it will re boot
here you go. your phone is alive.
thank you
a bit experience
my phone was bricked when I tried to upgrade it. FROM
gingerbread .62 to ics 4.0.4-
so it happened by my mistake, I removed cable connected to phone in the middle of flashing *tft file.
so make sure cables must be tightly connected at both the ends.
don't repeat what I did.
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
# when I failed in many attempts using flashtool, I used sony software update utility.
# sony update utility is all in one solution to update your phone with latest firmware. and its the best tool to repair your phone at any point of break down.
# when I tried to update my phone using sony update utility
my phone get detected it informed me about latest available firmware to install ( in my bricked phone means in my dead phone ) it was wow. . .
like a ray of hope.
§ I eagerly clicked to update.
§ sony update utility started to download firmware.
§ wow . . .
§ after few min prepared it self to install in my phone.
§ wow . . . wow . .
§ with in seconds installation failed . . .
§ guess why . . .?
¤ ¤ because my phone was in .62 gingerbread.
¤ ¤ ¤ in FLASHTOOL I flashed latest ICS FIRMWARE
¤¤ Which was installed partially in my phone.
¤¤¤ and sony update utility tried to instal the same firmware which I was flashed so got aborted.
§ solution.
I used flashtool again
installed old .62 firmware ( which also got installed partially)
then again connected to sony update utility now it installed ICS successfully.
hope it will help you peoples. . .
click thanks if it helped you

forcing rom installation / can't flash FW

Is there a possibility to force ROM installation from a zip file via twrp?
I'm trying to install a ROM for Z Ultra, but twrp gives me a message that my device is honami.
I tried flashing boot.img. Can't flash firmware because I can't enter flash mode (green light just blinks and that's it).
So is it possible to install ROM for togari despite twrp thinks its honami?
Right now I've got AOSP Nougat installed using flashboot.
I'm sick of playing with it. Just want a fully working soft on my phone.
Thank you in advance!
What did you do to end up getting this message? I know this was a common error back in the early days of the honami and z ultra when porting roms from the honami. But not very common today.
Or what .zip are you trying to flash?
What is the name of the .zip file?

Thank you for your response.
I'm trying to flash ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.8-20160508-togari.zip with TWRP3.0.2.0. I tried with other ROMs but with no success. Every time ERROR 7 shows up. Previously there was 4.4.2 (or something like this) running well on this device.
Can this "honami problem" be caused by the wrong firmware?

It seems like you are on a very old firmware and need to flash the latest stock rom for the togari before flashing the rom.
Download flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php ..via torrent is the fastest option to download the software.
Here is a video on how to use the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PQVTgYbg_U ...can't find a recent guide on a new version of flashtool with androxyde. But you get the idea by looking at the video..
However I have never heard of the green blinking light issue on the togari.
Here is a thread for the honami: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-notification-light-It-s-at-70-80/td-p/404435

Thank you again. I really appreciate your every second spent to help me.
Every time I try to download a firmware I end up with "Error occurred while unpacking". Tried to create a bundle from what Flashtool managed to unpack anyway, but I've got another problem flashing firmware. No matter what firmware I flash I get this:

No matter which FW I try to flash, I always end up with this. Firmwares I tried:
C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf
C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Euro LTEStripped.ftf
C6833_14.6.A.1.236_R5D_O2 Pay monthly UK_1274-8332.ftf (I'm not sure if the package was made correctly due to an error while unpacking it just after downloading with xperifirm)
Driver I've got in device manager:
Sony sa109 ADB Interface Driver - the same I'm using with fastboot. Is that correct?
I really did a lot of research and tried a lot of things during last couple of days but I've got a feeling I'm not smart enough to handle this or my device is really f**ked up.
As I said at the beginning, I'm sick of it and now I'm trying to find a way to bypass the TWRP ERROR 7 (the one about honami device). Why I'm doing this is because I can flash everything with fastboot (like AOSP 6.0 and 7.0 from *.img files). I believe there is no such possibility as you didn't mention it.
About the blinking light, what I do is holding Vol- button and plugging the cable. After that in a second red light blinks, then green light blinks and that's it. Green one doesn't keep glowing but as you can see in the log, phone seems to be connected in flash mode.
Thank you so much again.
Oh, I'm on win10 x64 and always using USB2.0 to connect the ZU.
EDIT:
Ok, I managed to successfully download another firmware using XperiFirm (for C6802 this time) and the bundle created by itself after downloading process, but when I try to flash it I still get this:

You're using the wrong driver. There is a driver install pack when you install flashtool to be found in C:/FlashTool/drivers. Execute the file and scroll down the list to find the Z ultra. Tick the alternative. You can also tick in the flashmode driver visible somewhere in the list. Just to be sure.
Now when its finished installing the drivers. Turn the phone off. And do not boot the phone to fastboot. But to flashmode.
This is volume down and plug in the cable. Then you will see a flash of colors on the notification light and then it will shut off the lamp.
In flashtool you should now see in the log something like: Z ultra connected in flashmode.
Now go ahead and flash the ftf file again.
If this don't work. Uninstall ALL drivers related to android and start from scratch and install the drivers from C:/FlashTool/drivers to get a clean install. Or connect the phone in flashmode and go to device manager and look what you see on the z ultra.
The device should say S1 boot device. Then the correct driver is used. Otherwise its the wrong driver if it says something else.
Edit:
In the first log its says:
31/040/2017 05:40:49 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833). FW release : 14.6.A.1.236_R5D. Customization : O2 Pay monthly UK_1274-8332
But in the second log it says:
31/016/2017 06:16:17 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6802). FW release : 14.6.A.1.236. Customization : Customized US
You downloaded two different .ftf files for two different models with two different customization. One for O2 in United Kingdom and the other for United States.
What model do you have? And where do you live?
Your advice about the driver was right :/ Thank you so much. Can't believe I lost so much time just because of silly thing like that.
About .tft files, I wanted to try another firmwares just to see what will happen.
Thanks again for all your help and time!

Did you read what it says at the beginning of the Flashtool download page?
It clearly says: C4 and C5 users please do not flash using Flashtool. It will brick the device. M5 users please do use FSC when flashing or it will brick your device.
You can only use Flashtool version 0.9.18.x on the C5 Ultra, to avoid a hardbrick
At the same time you mention that the LED changes from red to green, then your mobile has not yet died.
Now, just uninstall the Version of Flashtool you have completely, search for and install the 0.9.18.x, and follow the normal flashing process.
EDIT: Remember to close Xperia Companion completely, to avoid interference with the flashing process
