[Xperia Z3v General] metalmachine:
At my wits end!

Hi all,

I really don't know what else to try to flash my Z3v with the 23.1.D.0.509 update FTF. I keep getting the error:

05/036/2015 17:36:38 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.

05/036/2015 17:36:38 - INFO - Ending flash session

05/036/2015 17:36:38 - ERROR - Error in processHeader : 1 : Incorrect function.

I'm using:

NON-ROOTED Z3v on build 23.0.E.1.44

PC running Windows 10

I'm using the Flashtool Version 0.9.18.6

This is what I have and what I've done:

I downloaded D6708_Verizon EUT Test_1292-6230_23.1.D.0.485_R2C using ExpriFirm

I disabled the driver signatures

This is my log from the FlashTool...I would truly, really appreciate any help!

EDIT:

SOLVED!

Have to be 100% sure the device driver signatures are disabled! This allowed me to install the drivers listed and then flash as needed.
