[Q] How to flash ftf file using flashtool for Xperia Z3 Plus - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to flash ftf(downloaded using xperiafirm) file using flash tool for Xperia Z3 plus.
Since flashtool has no device info and not listed. Is there any other flash tool for the Z3 plus?

I used the flashtool which version is 0.9.18.6,and I flash it successfully.I remember that any xperia firm can be flashed by this tool.Your way may be wrong:there is no need to choose the device,you can do it again.

I am still waiting for my replacement. But I want to know in beforehand just in case..some people mentioned that the list is just for downloading the FTF files and flashtool doesn't compitable with xperia z3+

I assume it should work for both single and dual sim versions, yea?!

According to the following thread it doesn't compitable with Z3+ yet. You will be unable to unlock your bootloader after using it. He will soon upload another version which is compitable with Z3+ / Z4..

As long as the ROM is based off of stock Sony firmware you are good. Look for the "LB" (lockedbootloader) tag withing the ROM title, and you should also see instructions if you have a LB.

I can't remember what t-mobile firmware I was on (6 months ago) when I rooted, but I know I used a @DooMLoRD method...I think this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405)
You can always use flashtool to install a generic .67 FTF, then root and install recovery. This is the safest way to go, but you will lose t-mobile specific functions like wifi calling, but also t-mobile bloat. If you are looking to install a custom stock ROM then you will be losing these functions anyways.
Just make sure you get the latest flashtool and drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830.
EDIT: Actually I believe I used this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472) to root as I was on the .166 firmware. The method above is what you want as .67 is what you'll need if making the jump to 4.3.

[Q] TMOBILE 6606 upgrade possible?

Does anyone know if TMobile brand Sony Xperia Z able to flash the other ROMs. I know it's BL and will lose TMO Wifi call function. But TMO stop at 4.3, and I cant see any hope for 4.4, 5.0. Is possible to flash other ROMs? Thank you.
Yes, you can.

WIFI calling function will not work ofcourse but if you are not satisfied you can flash stock firmware anyday using XPERIA FLASH TOOL. You need to unlock the bootloader using official Sony Method. If you can unlock the BL which I was able to.
Then you can download and install Cyanogenmod 13,12,11,10. (C6603) - Yes, it has issues, so I switched to.
SlimKat 4.4.4 - YUGA (C6606) - NO BUGS AT ALL.
Also do remember to flash SGAPPS from their repository no the opengapp.org gapps.
Big difference I found is that Stock OS on new flash takes around 500-700MBs of RAM where SlimKAT takes only 350MB w/o GAPPS and 500MBs GAPPS.
Good luck! I will show you screenshots

What is the official Sony method to unlock the C6606? And can you post screenshots?

The official tutorial is over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWPYicb8_-Q
I guess that means there's still no way if your C6606 says "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO".

Root or relock bootloader Xperia xz3

I need help. I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia xz3 and lost access to Google pay and other services. I wish it was possible to root my phone or block the bootloader again to get everything back to the way it was before. The twrp I'm trying to install does not seem to be compatible with version 52.1.A.3.20 from my cell phone. Does anyone have a compatible twrp?

I'll summarize ... I already have the bootloader unlocked, so I need the following tutorials and files ... Xperia xz3 drivers for the ADB fastboot (H8416) (Akatsuki) TWRP compatible with Xperia xz3, (I don't know if you can install either) an updated tutorial on how to do this safely and Magisk in zip to flash when installing TWRP. With all this, my problems are over because the SafeNet verification will be positive and I will be able to use Google pay again. Here is my thanks for all the attention and it was trusting you that I marked you to help me with all this!

Use Xperifirm to download the software.
NFC doesn't work, that's it if I remember right.
In the end I reverted back to JP software because I needed NFC.
If you want to get rid of japanese bloatware, flash /oem partition from taiwan or hongkong firmware.
use newflasher.
to flash just /oem, only put files that start with "oem" in newflasher's folder.
