Flashtool is an extremely useful tool maintained by Androxyde that allows you to download and flash stock roms to your device and more.
I thought it would be a good idea to create a guide showing how to use some of the most useful features of this great tool. It will be focused on the Xperia Z as that's the device I own, but will also apply to other devices compatible with Flashtool. I will add more sections to the guide as I get time to do so.
Contents:
1. Install Flashmode and Fastboot drivers.
2. Download any firmware customisation and create an FTF.
3. Flash stock firmware in FTF format to your device.
4. More coming soon....
Requirements:
Windows PC
Flashtool driver package by DooMLoRD.
Flashtool by Androxyde.
Part 1.
Install Flashtool drivers:
1. Run the installer. You will see this screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press "Next" to continue.
2. Select Flashmode and Fastboot drivers. These drivers are common drivers for all compatible devices. Also scroll down the list and select Xperia Z drivers (or the relevant drivers for your device). This installs the ADB drivers for your device.
Press "Install".
The drivers will now install.
Note: If you're on Windows 8, then try this if you have trouble installing the drivers - Resolving driver installation issues on Windows 8 (thanks to fards)
Part 2.
How to create an FTF of any firmware customisation version:
Flashtool now integrates the excellent XperiFirm by Iagucool for downloading firmware. This guide has been updated to reflect that.
For the purposes of this guide, I downloaded the Customized NCB firmware version 10.6.A.0.454 for the C6603.
1. Start Flashtool and wait until it finishes syncing devices.
2. Click on the XperiFirm icon (highlighted red in image).
If this is the first time you've done this, Flashtool will download XperiFirm.
3. Find Xperia Z (or whichever device you like) on the list and click on it.
Select your device variant from the list that expands and click "Check all".
4. Find the firmware version you want in the list, click on it, then click the firmware version you want to download in the list on the right.
Press "Download" in the window that appears.
5. XperiFirm will download and unpack 5 files.
6. When XperiFirm has finished downloading and unpacking the files, press OK and close XperiFirm.
7. Flashtool will automatically create the bundle and will display when it's finished. You can now close Flashtool.
Part 3.
How to Flash an FTF using Flashtool:
Your bootloader does not need to be unlocked and you do not need root to flash roms in FTF format with Flashtool.
1. Place the FTF you have in C:\Users\your username\.flashtool\firmwares if it isnt there already (if you followed this guide to create an FTF it will be in the correct place already).
2. Start Flashtool and wait until it finishes syncing devices.
3. Click on the lightning bolt icon, select Flashmode and press OK.
4. Choose the firmware you wish to flash from the list on the left (highlighted red). If you want to keep data and installed apps etc, then uncheck everything in the Wipe section (highlighted green). Conversely, if you want a clean install, check everything in the Wipe section. Make sure nothing is checked in the Exclude section (highlighted blue). Note that if you're flashing over a custom rom or downgrading, then wiping all data is required.
When everything is as it should be, press Flash (highlighted yellow).
5. Flashtool will prepare files for flashing.
6. This screen will appear:
Power OFF your device. Connect your USB cable to your PC, then while holding Volume DOWN, connect the other end of the USB cable to your device.
Flashtool will now flash the firmware. When the flashing process starts, you can release the Volume down key.
DO NOT disconnect your device at this point, until it says it's safe to do so. When Flashtool says it has finished, disconnect your device and power it on. You have successfully flashed stock firmware to your device.
Disclaimer:
This guide is provided in good faith and the steps as provided work fine for me. However, I will not accept any responsibility for data loss or possible damage to your device. Following this guide is done at your own risk.

Nice and very useful guide for the new comers. Keep up the good work..
Thank you for great job.
When I create ftf (backup my ROM), the apps I download from Google play and data backup also? Or just ROM?

This guide creates a FTF from files downloaded from Sony's servers. It doesn't backup your rom or data.

Thank you. But how I can backup my ROM and apps and data with this tools? Not from CWM recovery ?
You can't, as far as I'm aware. If you need help backing up your data, please open a thread in the Q&A section. Thanks.

It's off topic but I'll answer you to not post off topic things here and other threads.
For apps backup download titanium backup or ultimate backup from Play store. You can backup your ROM from recovery only.
Those apps need root.
For how to root search around here.
Don't ask about that again here. Do that in a new thread if you still have issues.

Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to install AOKP on my work colleague's C6630 (Xperia Z) which is from O2 in the UK, the bootloader allowed says No and I've tried the flashtool and the process shown in this thread, none of the root methods in the flashtool are working and the FlashMode doesn't respond when I attempt to install the generic UK rom, shows a quick red led, then a quick green led, then nothing (Windows does show a driver problem even though I've installed the fastboot .
I can carry out ADB or flashboot commands by going into those modes but nothing that will let me root or install a custom recovery partition.
I'm stuck and can't get any further, even though a lot of the guides here say you should still be able to get root while the bootloader is locked.
I have xperia z 4.4.2 bootloader unlocked and rooted.. and I have pacman rom..
I downloaded the ftf of 4.4.4 how can i flash it?

You cannot flash AOSP/AOKP/PAC etc or any rom that needs a custom kernel when you have a locked bootloader. There's no way to unlock your friend's bootloader, unfortunately.

Should it be possible to root though so he could use xposed frameworks to get some sort of custom experience? I did try every single method in the flashtool for rooting but none of them worked.

Yes, you can root without unlocking the bootloader.
On 4.4.2 or below, use towelroot. On 4.4.4, it's slightly more complicated. Guide here.

Thanks so much, finally got root. Do you know if the dualrecovery allows you to install any custom roms or will it only work for flashing tools, etc?
Having problems trying to find the correct XZdualrecovery for this phone too, it's the Xperia Z (C6603), although I can't seem to find this on the http://nut.xperia-files.com/ site, anyone know which one is for the C6603?
1. Download and install Flashtool from here - http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
2. Download these three files
C690X_14.4.A.0.108_KernelOnly.ftf
C690X_14.4.A.0.157_KernelOnly.ftf
rootkitXperia_20140719.zip
3. Run Flashtool and Flash C690X_14.4.A.0.108_KernelOnly.ftf
4. Exit Flashtool
5. Root your phone using rootkitXperia_20140719.zip , Extract rootkitXperia_20140719.zip , Connect your phone with USB Debugging ( install adb drivers , install PC Companion adb drivers will get installed , exit PC Companion before executing install.bat ) , and run install.bat
6. Run Flashtool and now flash C690X_14.4.A.0.157_KernelOnly.ftf

yes will work on all models running the same build i.e 14.4.4.0.157
For the method described in OP, is the starting point:
14.4.A.0.108? OR
14.4.A.0.157?
I'm on 14.4.A.0.108 rooted and haven't upgraded to 14.4.A.0.157 yet. Can I just flash C690X_14.4.A.0.157_KernelOnly.ftf?
Because your website says: First make sure you are running KitKat 4.4.4 Build 14.4.A.0.157 (which I'm not).

if u use ftf file to update to .157 then no , u have to install the recovery again after u root , but if u update using ota then recovery will be untouched I guess not sure though , even if u loose recovery u can install it again
what a pain in the ass
I'll wait for a proper root for this tiny update
I wish someone had posted this on the other thread that root is lost - I'd have left it alone

Steps For Rooting Xperia Z1 C6902/C6903 14.5.A.0.242 Firmware
1. Downgrade to .108 / .157 Firmware and Root It
If you have already updated your smartphone to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, then you have to downgrade your device to KitKat OS and Root it.
Use this guide to Install .108 firmware.
Root using this guide.
Now Install XZ Dual Recovery.
Now phone is rooted, USB Debugging must be enabled.
Download latest installer for Xperia Z1 from here. (Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip)
Connect phone to PC using OEM date cable and run install.bat.
It will install the custom recovery.
Now work here is done. Lets move on to next step.
2. Root and Install Recovery on Z1 C6902/C6903 5.0.2 Lollipop Firmware
Custom recovery was installed in the first step.
The pre-rooted firmware was created and copied to phone in next step.
Now you have to turn off phone.
Turn it on again and press volume up or down repeatedly to enter custom recovery.
Click on install and locate the folder where you placed the flashable zip earlier.
Tap on it and install it.
Now reboot the phone.
If phone is still connected to PC via USB cable, disconnect it.
Now go back to the .242 ftf you downloaded in second step and copy it to /flashtool/fimrwares
Open flashtool and click on lightning icon in the top left.
Click on it and click on flashmode.
Select the .242 firmware.
In the right bar, in the exclude options, exclude System only. It means that untick System only there. Leave every other options as it is (See the Picture).
While flashtool prepares the software for flashing, turn off your phone.
Keep the volume down button pressed and connect it to PC via USB cable.
The button must be pressed during it.
The phone will enter flashmode.
Flashtool will automatically detect it and start flashing.
After flashing phone will reboot and you will be done...
thanks to 'Hayder Ameen'.....

I think this guide for Unlockbootloader only.
You just copied and pasted the text from this page:

And you did that without all the instructions, without any links to the mentioned guides and without proof-reading it to make sure it made any sense...
Seriously...

C6902?!
Hey bro, I just want to know if this one is for C6903 only or what? How about C6902. The instruction says C6902/C6903 but the Mega file is C6903??
Appreciate your work!!!
I downloaded the mega link in the first post, but it was not SG customized, C6903_14.5.A.0.242_HK.ftf. thank for advice.

You can download lp 5.1.1. Ftf Sony official global firmware for z3c and flash it without unlocking the bootloader with flashtool, though my so-02g couldn't update the nfc firmware on downgrade from mm to lp but still I'm getting good battery ? timing on lp with a failed nfc firmware update
I was also shocked when i was told that you can downgrade your Xperia z3c without unlocking the bootloader and when i did it i was dancing....
And enjoy the long battery time,
Btw you can downgrade any Sony Xperia without unlocking the bootloader
Flashtool
As we all know now that we can downgrade Xperia devices without unlocking the bootloader.
There's a problem in Xperia z3c docomo d5833 that it doesn't update the nfc firmware.
Here's the solution. Install stock lp 5.1.1 firmware on your device because you can root lollipop with kingroot. While rooting is impossible in mm 6.0.1 on d5833...
Now install 'Total commander.apk' on your rooted lp 5.1.1 z3c. You can find it on www.sanet.st (type Total commander in search bar)
And by going into that direction /system/app/nfcnci you can fire it with pump action shot
This Total commander is a very powerful app, I tried other apps but found Total commander useful for deleting read only folders apps.
Cheers..... :good:

NOTE :
I created this guide for the Sony Japan AU KDDI version of Xperia XZ Oreo 8.0 users and i have difficulty installing the global version and many that do not support such as NFC Japan are very different from global. Please report this text before you root SOV34 check your sim lock if (x) Network Subset [5] = this is a Carrier Restriction that only allows certain SIM cards. In Japan, CDMA are dominant networks. I think since this is a GSM network, they set a Network Subset lock to restrict exporting. If you already unlock your bootloader, then sim not detected again. So please check this sim lock from dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Forget about root if your Network Subset is locked.
Since there is no ftf file for XZ AU KDDI's, here is the guide from me for rooting it.
You need backup your TA.img. Downgrade your android to Marshmallow for FTF file you can find from this link [url]https://ftf.andro.plus/[/URL] you may use the version 39.0.C.0.282 and for guide step how to backup TA you can use this link [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236[/URL].
Update your SOV34 to Oreo 8.0 via Xperia Companion (since no ftf for Oreo) and unlocked your bootloader. For Unlock booloader you can use Flashtool or from ADB. Make sure that the OEM Unlocking in Developer Option is ON
Make your phone plugin to pc to Fastboot Mode ( Power Up + Volume Up ) and go to ADB and flash Recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
you can download TWRP from my drive [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IlisSeKaMhvCQkUddgyLOdDSg_988zvZ[/URL] and factory reset via TWRP[to eliminate the password entry during bootup]
Flash the created from me for boot.img using fastboot and restart to TWRP
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flash instal Zip Magisk, DRM Fix and Safetynet Patch. ( Put this Zip in SD Card) you can find this zip in my drive [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IlisSeKaMhvCQkUddgyLOdDSg_988zvZ[/URL]
All done.

Finally I could make this guide for Sony SOV34 a few months to learn the difference between this system and the global system. Actually, in a case that might have never happened for Sony Japan is to open the Unlock Bootloader because by default it always says: "Unlock Bootloader Allowed: NO". One day I read in a Forum and finally, I found a bright spot about this bootloader. And finally my phone bootloader is allowed yes. If you need ask about how to change this bootloader from Japan Smartphone just PM me.
