[Xperia SP General] hard-core:
As above post helpers said you need to use:

flashtool-0.9.18.6-windows

better works with windows 7

for windows 10 follow this

a. Press the Win + C and click on PC settings.

b. Switch over to the “Update & recovery” section.

c. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.

d. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now” button.

e. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.

f. Then head into Advanced options.

g. Then Startup Settings.

h. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your computer one last time.

I. Here you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.

last but not least

check device driver or re install them

ADB drivers

or give try with different android version stock rom
[Xperia SP General] hard-core:
dude just try to read the older post......you will definetly find some solutions........even we were freaked out with same issue but found solution using older version of flashtool.

Let SP charge for 5 hours on wall charger as repeating this unsuccessfull atempts would drain entire battery.

I would like to report a problem I had with flashtool.

When trying to flash a firmware,

the log ran to this point:

"Opening device for R / W"

then it stopped, saying it was flashmode.

REASON: I had the EMMA flashtool open that the phone could hear.

SOLUTION: close EMMA, and maybe restart a flashtool64 moment.

Not sure if this has been posted to the thread or not, but USB debugging has to be enabled for the flashtool to recognize your phone. I just got the 4.3 update from Sony and my USB debugging was turned off so I didn't know what was going on.

To turn on USB debugging you have to go to Settings>About Phone and then click the 'build number' 7 times. After doing so the developer menu will pop up in the settings page, you can enable USB debugging there.

[MENTION=314323]MJR[/MENTION]aider,

I am seeking for your kind advice as I am totally new to Sony. All the way for 5 years I have been using Sammy (Currently S4). My question will be off topic. I am currently on (C5303) JB 4.3 pure stock rom, unlocked BL and no custom recovery. As no direct root haven't out for 4.3, I need to go back to any 4.1.2 rom, root it and install my language font. My concern is am I able to install my language font and keyboard after downgrading 4.1.2 and rooted.

Thanks in advance,

Hi folks, please help.

I cannot bring my phone to Flashmode. It says I need drivers. I have the drivers. I have tried the adb driver downloader (that says it is installed already), PC companion works fine with the phone too.

Needless to say, I am in MTP mode and with USB debugging on.

I turn the phone off, hold the volume down button but I keep getting this screen.

I could flawlessly do this on my ZR and Xperia S before.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
What OS are you using on your computer? (important to know ;) )

Also you have to install the common flashtool and fastboot drivers that can be found in the folder Flashtool\drivers
[Xperia SP General] moolash:
Flashboot

I have 64bit Windows 8.1.

I have tried installing flashtool drivers. (not fastboot yet)

Those often install as s031 or similar name, not? (I had that before, I have even tried removing and reinstalling it.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
I have flashtool (finaly) working on 8.1 by following the first steps of my own tutorial..

It worked - Thanks a lot. Now I think your pre-rooted .266 is up next to install. (is that as of now the best way of having rooted 4.3? Generic CE is fine for me)

I'm about bored waiting for the 4.3 update to reach my generic UK SP so I'm going to flash the FTF from here at the weekend.

I intend to do a factory reset using SUS first and then build myself an FTF to restore should I decide that 4.3 is not for me. I found this guide with instructions to do that (albeit for the Xperia Z) but one of the things it mentions is:

Having opened the 4.3 FTF I intend to flash I can see that it does include a "loader.sin", which makes me wonder whether that part of the guide doesn't apply to the XSP, or whether I should exclude that when I flash it, or more likely, I just don't understand...

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Include all the files. This ensures a stable and correct flash...
[Xperia SP General] Ideomotor:
Hi, sorry to be a pain.

I've search the page for the downloads and I can't find a single link online. I need to downgrade my phone, it became a brick and the only link functional is the flashtool link.

Model: C5303

Current Version: 4.3

Country: UK

Carier: Orange

Version needed: ANYTHING THAT WORKS PLEASE!

Thank you...

From a very noob and desperate creature trying to use Android devices.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Does it boot up?
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
What did you do to brick your phone?

If your bootloader is still locked then you should be able to reset the phone back to stock by using the Sony Update Service.

Alternatively you can look here for FTF's that you can use via Flashtool.
[Xperia SP General] Ideomotor:
Hi, thanks for trying to help.

I apologise about the clear misuse of the word "brick"... When I call a phone brick it's when it's acting extremely slow and everything seems to not work as it's being reported by Xperia users after the update to 4.3.

My question was exactly about the thread you just gave me. All the links that should work on my phone are offline for some reason so I am not being able to get a FTF for UK.

Again I must say: I know nothing about Android and I do not want to unlock the bootloader, I only want to use my phone without massive lag. The simplest, the better. I need stock 4.2.1, it was working fine before the update.
[Xperia SP General] MagicMagicD:
Well the first thing I would try is a full factory reset using Sony Update Service or PC Companion on your PC. Before you do though, make sure you copy all your data (photos, videos, music, etc.) and be prepared to lose all of your installed apps and their settings.

A lot of users have reported that doing this has solved a lot of their performance related problems with the 4.3 update, but I can't attest to it myself since my generic UK SP is still on 4.1.2.

If after that you're still having issues and you really want to go back to 4.1.2 then have a look at this post -- it should be a generic UK 4.1.2 FTF judging by the description. Use the information in the first post of this (as in the one we're in now rather than I forgot to link it ;)) post to guide you through flashing it.

Downgrading.. void warranty??

hi to all! one quick question, if I downgrade/flash my phone like for example to 254, will my warranty get voided?

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

and also, what are DRM Keys? what do I need it for if I do not want to lose it from flashing??

flashing and rooting noob here.. lol :D
[Xperia SP General] the_helix:
As long as your bootloader is locked (it is locked by default when you buy your phone), the warranty will not be void. To flash stock roms (254 is a stock rom) you don't need to unlock the bootloader. Unlocked bootloader is needed when you flash CUSTOM roms.

If you have flashed a custom rom your warranty will be void. If you want to claim warranty, then you have to flash a stock rom & then give your phone to customer care. DRM keys are needed to wipe this evidence of custom rom flashing. It is also needed if you want to install Bravia Engine on an unlocked bootloader device.

You can have a back up of the DRM keys (I don't know how it is done) and then flash you custom rom. If you are flashing a stock rom (with locked bootloader), then DRM keys will not be lost. Apart from this, I don't know much about DRM keys. The following thread by the great DooMLoRD might help you:
