I assume you're using the latest version of Flashtool and you've re-downloaded your FW's (maybe from a different source). After that I can't help anymore. I'm assuming you've hard powered it off (vol+/power 10secs) and retried.

seems that flashing the Kernel is what making this problem
make sure you are running the latest FlashTool maybe it can fix your issue

Latest bootloader is something like 1.11.1

Can I ask you what 4.3 TFT you tried to flash ? where did you download it from? . All the necessary files for bootloader update contains inside the 'boot' folder. Can you open your tft file with WinRAR and see if there's a folder name boot inside the package and that folder should contain these files

I tried few 4.3 available in forum.. but the ones i force more was "C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Commercial_And_Journalists" and "C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Generic PT", if any one can help me to upgrade my boot compiling only files to do that,
I will definitely give shot to try

[Tutorial][Oreo][2.24] Step-by-step guide to gain root access properly

Please see note section before doing anything.
Though all the instructions are updated, you may want
to read through all comments.
For Oreo (both models), patch this after flashing custom kernel
View attachment drmfix.zip
in the recovery BEFORE booting into system.
Before start you need to install USB driver (for Windows). If it's not working, try using Androxyde's driver instead.
To flash stock image (not required, just for newer firmware or fingerprint support)
1. Download latest Flashtool. *make sure you patch x10flasher.jar to latest version by replacing it in your installation directory (mine was 0.9.23.2).
2. Download G82XX support for Flashtool from this thread (thanks IcemanSu)
3. Extract the file to "C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\devices\G82XX".
4. Launch Flashtool, select Devices > Manage > Import. It should say "Loaded 95 devices" (before is 94).
2. Thanks to Androxyde, device list now includes G82XX on github so skip those steps.
3. Click Xperifirm icon (XF rightmost icon below toolbar), find and download firmware.
4. Tools > Bundle > Create. Select your firmware, choose all content then Create . If it says "a fsc script is found..." click Yes. (I tried choosing no and I cannot flash system partition (system.sin finished with errors).
5. Start devices in flash mode (hold vol. down and connect USB until LED blinking green).
6. Click Flash icon (first one) in Flashmode, select all content from bundle you created then Flash. Again, if it ask to use .fsc script, click Yes. It should finish without error.
*Device list from Github hasn't updated yet. So if you flash 41.3 (Oreo), make sure you duplicate 41.2.fsc to 41.3.fsc in C:\Users\%HOMEPATH%\.flashTool\devices\G82XX
7. Done, you can try booting to test if it works.
Starting from locked bootloader
1. Check "OEM unlocking" under developer options.
2. Unlock bootloader - follow instruction from this link. *Select Xperia XZ, it requires same unlock code as XZs. ** Data including internal storage will be wiped like typical Sony unlocking. Make sure you do some backup copy your important files out before proceed.
3. Enter fastboot - press vol. up the moment you connect USB. LED should be blue light.
4.1 Flash kernel with DRM patch *the kernel is specific to firmware version (not customizations) , so it will bootloop if you flash the wrong version.
41.3.A.2.24
41.3.A.0.401
41.2.A.7.76
41.2.A.7.65
41.2.A.7.53
41.2.A.4.35 dual sim
41.2.A.7.8 -.235
4.2 Flash TWRP (XZ still work perfectly) as recovery.
For new people, you can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Do "fastboot flash recovery <twrp_name>.img" and "fastboot flash boot <kernel_name>.img".
5. Once you installed recovery, give it a try. Enter recovery by holding power and vol. down when the phone is off (no LED).
6. Root your phone - Transfer SU flashable zip (only systemless for now, either Magisk with sony fix or SuperSU) to anywhere in the phone (MTP in recovery, OTG, external, or just boot up and download)
7. Install zip in recovery. If you can't mount internal and install SU, doing factory reset (format data) will remove encryption and do the trick. Magisk might work with encrypted data*see note below about magisk installation
8. Enjoy!
Note
(September 15 2017) To install Xposed
Don't install it with TWRP. Just install the module in Magisk Manager and you'll be fine.
(August 20, 2017) To disable force data encryption
I think I passed safety net by install magisk inside /data (with patched kernel).
Take a look at my thread. I also wrote how to modify it, so you can just download .img or do it yourself.
(July 31, 2017) To fix the green camera & other rooting problems on any firmware version ie. To use rootkernel tool (thanks tobias.waldvogel) to patch drm/ric fix.
Follow instruction from his thread.
TL;DR
- Download zip in the attactments and extract.
- Extract kernel.sin (using any archive manager eg. 7zip winrar) from your .ftf firmware.
- In Flashtool, use tool -> sin editor and extract your kernel.sin into .elf.
- Move your kernel image.elf in the same directory you just extracted.
- (Windows) Shift + right click -> open command windows here in the extracted directory and run "rootkernel <extracted elf> boot.img" (Linux) Just use terminal, cd to that directory and do the same.
- Select Y for everything except busybox.
- Done! you got patched kernel image.
(July 11, 2017) To make it compatible with magisk 13+
- Use the kernel with both DRM and RIC Protection patches so that it works well with magisk 13.1 and gets working camera.
Make sure you uninstall old version using uninstaller through TWRP or flash fresh kernel, wipe cache, install new one, then install latest magisk manager because it was made only for newer version.
If you have question or something goes wrong, feel free to ask me or other nice guys on XDA!
Thanks for everyone who contributes these contents.

Nicely written tutorial!
The kernel isn't required. You could just unlock bootloader and flash magiskv12sonyfix directly and get root + pass in safetypass but causes the pictures you take to become green images.
The kernel from arjun.arora has DRM-fix embedded which solves the camera problem but then it doesn't pass in safetypass in magisk. Rather a working camera than a pass I guess.
Personally I flashed TWRP-3.0.2-4 because it mounts internal+external while the newest version only mounts external.

WOW! It works perfectly. Thank you so much!

It does if you skip the kernel but once you flash the kernel it doesn't pass anymore.

Before I flashed this kernel, it didn't pass and got green screen too lol.

I tried a bunch of combination but everytime I flashed magisk directly after fresh new fw flash it passed, as soon as I flashed the kernel and then magick it stopped passing.
So for me, if I flashed magisk first it passes but then I get green image so I have to flash kernel and then magisk but then I lose safetypass, oh well .
Obviously not worth losing camera over safetypass.

Is X-Reality working with arjunarora DRM kernel? and where is the link to that kernel?

Did you patch Flashtool to latest version? I didn't try 0.9.23.1 but using 0.9.23.2 did work. Simply replace x10flasher.jar in the directory you installed with new one.
It flashed nothing and there might be a problem reading that bundle.
Hope this helps!

This one will work https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634 as you can see v20 comfirmed working https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72484790&postcount=152 . If any question go to my thread and ask :good:

finally done flashing firmware.
but after i flash kernel and twrp, i get 0mb internal
6. Boot into system. *When it ask to require PIN/Pattern at boot, SELECT NO. Otherwise, your device will be encryped and unable to install Magisk because TWRP won't let you mount internal. Download SU flashable zip (either Magisk with sony fix or SuperSU).
i don't have NO to select, only CANCEL and change language
and now im stuck at twrp

Flashing firmware wipes almost everything, including internal. So it's normal to have 0 mb.
You will see this prompt only If you set PIN or Pattern. It should be fine not to set passcode. You can flash magisk right after flashing recovery through MTP or external.
If magisk fail to install just do factory reset. This will remove data encryption.

Try again after factory reset and wait a bit longer.
If not, looks like system is missing. Did you flash system correctly? Try booting into recovery. In mount, check your system partition size and tell me if its 0 mb or not.
Can you also send me flashtool log?

Did you flash TWRP as recovery, not system?
Recovery should be launched when you hold power and vol. down. System is launched when you hold power like normal boot. Sorry, I will be on board very soon. Coming back around 6-7 hours. You can leave any message here.

problem solved
the problem was everytime i flash recovery, my phone wont boot
so i hotboot recovery, flash supersu with twrp. done. root success

Cannot enter fastboot. Is there a chance?

Today I received my second X Compact after the first one stopped recognizing SIM card. And I really didn't want to set it up.
So I made a backup using TWRP from my old phone and restored it on the new one. The partitions that I foolishly tried restored were: Boot, System, Vendor, Data, OEM, and Trim-Area.
I don't know which of them did it (Trim-Area?), but the phone does not boot anymore. I cannot enter fastboot, no blue LED. And the only reason to think that there is still life somewhere in there is because the phone is recognized by PC when connected. However an attempt to flash a firmware using Sony Mobile Flasher fails:

Definitely TA, and probably System - don't try to use from one phone to another. I think the phone is probably saveable, but I guess you lost your TA forever... I'm surprised that there's no fastboot, but you have flash mode. I would try with Androxyde Flashtool, try connecting in different ways and try flashing with that. Fastboot won't help much at this point, unless you want to try to flash AOSP or something. If you can get Flashtool to recognize, you can try "reboot to bootloader" option.

Thank you! Androxyde Flashtool was exactly the tool I tried to flash the phone with. And flashmode is the only mode that works (but flashing fails).
Anyway, I have given up on that phone and ordered one more

Hello There,
I was attempting to put new firmware on my G3311 using flashtool (first time i'm doing it) and it got some error on the log and now the phone can't be power up. Pushing the power button for a long time but only got black screen. tough the phone can be put into flashmode.
Here is the eror on flashtool:

Thanks for your confidence but I am no god in these matters :laugh:
I have not used FlashTool for ages now as it's broke on my Linux distro and is missing some of the .png's.
I mostly use the command line xflasher tool. :good:
From the log it seems like you only flashed the boot area (Preloader, LK, etc) you should really choose to flash ALSO the boot/kernel, fotakernel, system, userdata and cache if it exists from the same package.
Make sure you select them for flashing, you have to choose them manually using the "exclude" option box. (Exclude SECRO if its giving you problems)
For userdata just ticking wipe userdata will add the userdata for you.
I found this old screenshot example so everything in "Under "Content"" would get flashed
{
"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"
}
Things May look or of changed slightly since this version screenshot but the principal will probably be the same.
If yours looks drastically different point me to a image that looks like yours.

You could just try another firmware package using FlashTool. Sometimes the Packages can be corrupted during download or extraction.

Somebody helps me please...

I bought a Sony Z3 (SOL26 AU) from my friends 3 days ago.
After that, I started to flash the lastest stock for the phone. But the weird thing is no matter I use which version of Flashtool, I can not flash the 23.5.A.1.291 ftf to my phone.
If I use the flashtool-0.9.15.0, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it will show - ERROR - - INFO - Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled.
If I use the Flashtool 0.9.18.6, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it will show - ERROR - root : this bundle is not valid.
If I use the Flashtool 0.9.34.0, flash 23.5.A.1.291, it shows

Does anybody help me with this situation??? I had tried it for 3 days which made me mad....
Btw, I can use any version of Flashtool to flash the KK stock ftf successfully... I don't understand why...The stock ftf I had change 3 version, but lead to the same error.....

hey, i dont very good with english, but you verify before the model of the FTF? in the log your phone is identified with the number D6603 ( idont know is the ftf model info or the actual device), the FTF must match the same model number. hope this helps...
