[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ondroidd:
Stuck on a boot loop

Hello,

i tried the OP procedure but got stuck on a boot loop after step 12.

Flash tool version : Latest release (0.9.19.0) for Windows.

FWs i tried :

D5803_23.0.A.2.93_Generic GLOBAL.ftf

23.4.A.0.546 - Unbranded - CE1 [Central Europe] (1288-7915)

23.1.A.1.28 - Unbranded - CE1 [Central Europe] (1288-7915)

23.0.1.A.5.77 - Unbranded - CE1 [Central Europe] (1288-7915)

The 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 did not even finish the flashing process - after 50 mins i decided to cancel the attempt because i thought it shouldn't take that long to finish, should it ?!

Anyway, here's a flash tool log with more info :

Could these be the culprit or am i missing something completely ? Now that i'm almost finished with this post there's one thing i have not tried : using older version of flash tool...

Thanks in advance for your help !

Edit:

turns out i did not check all the right boxes.Full wipe fixed it. /facepalm
