[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CossieLover1369:
Hi Guys,

I've been trying (and failing) to flash the stock UK rom on my Xperia Z3+ which I believe is currently on a Vodafone UK rom (28.0.A.7.24).

So I can download the correct firmware in XperiFirm (28.0.A.8.251)

Then the FlashTool64 process of Lightning bolt> Flash> Select firmware> tick the 4 boxes (Apps_LOG, DIAG, SSD and USSERDATA)> the window to plug in phone with vol down button pressed all works then the flash starts.

Then I get an error saying "Those data will not be flashed : unit 00000907, TA unit 0000091A. Do you want to continue? (Written exactly as it says)

Same thing happens with yes or no, it continues then freezes.

Here's the log
