[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Slavius:
Hello everyone,

I have a Xperia Z Ultra C6802 running on 14.2.A.0.290 locked bootloader with root and custom recovery.

Two days ago I flashed an audio mod zip using custom recovery, but it ended up with a bootloop. Then I tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache from recovery, but did not realize that I checked the wipe system too. Now I also lost my custom recovery from the phone.

The phone stuck at Sony logo (not even showing a beam animation) like this:

Whenever I connect the phone to a wall charger, it will blink a red led notification and after few seconds will show the same Sony logo as shown above, but it will charge the battery (the charger gets hot but the phone also getting so hot because the screen will not turned off). I have to use hard reset button or power button + volume up to turn the phone off.

I downloaded some ftf files to be flashed in order to bring the phone back to a stock rom. I download some ftf from

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/ftf-depository-sony-firmware-releases-t2829387

The ftf files I downloaded are:

1. Xperia Z Ultra (C6802) 14.4.A.0.108 "Generic MY"

2. Xperia Z Ultra (C6802) 14.2.A.0.290 "Generic"

3. Xperia Z Ultra (C6833) 14.3.A.0.757 "EURO"

I also installed Flashtool 0.9.18.2 with Z Ultra drivers, flashmode driver, and fastboot driver on my PC (Win 7 64 bit). Whenever I try to flash a ftf file, I got errors like this:

This errors always showed up no matter ftf file I was trying to flash. I never get this kind of errors when I played around with Xperia ZL.

Whenever I connect the phone to PC it will automatically running in flashmode (without pressing power button + volume down).

I also tried to fix the phone with Sony PC Companion, but the software will not detect the phone when it ask me to connect the phone in flashmode (the PC recognize my phone).

Please help me guys to solve this problem. I need your help. I have no idea what to do :crying:
