Flashtool error - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a problem with instalation the stock romu without operator overlays. The phone is Sony Xperia Z3, the system is windows 7, flashtool the newest 0.9.25.0, the compilation is 23.5.a.1.291. After preparing for the flash, he throws a "ERROR - Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old" error.
Drivers downloaded by Xperia Companion.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Flashtool comes with drivers. Look where you installed Flashtool, and there should be a directory called \Drivers.
I usually install:
Flashmode Drivers
+ whatever Xperia I have (eg. Z3 Device Driver)
You can also install Fastboot Drivers, but I don't think I ever do, since I only use Flashtool for flashing stock ROMs.

try turning it off and connecting it into flashmode and hold the volume down maybe it will install drivers.

although still no luck with the ftf but installed the kernel.zip via CWM as there was a second one in Timin8rs post
just finished and all appears fine....

[Q][W8][x64] drivers problem (Fastboot/Flashmode/General)

Dear Community,
as i tried to flash stock ROM .434 on my device (CM10.1 RC2 was on it before - didn't like it) using flashtool i noticed something strange - as i tried to install the needed drivers (driver signature enforcement disabled) i noticed that the flashtool-drivers.exe didn't show the entry for xperia z drivers. as i tried the same tool on another computer (Win7 x86) everything showed up correctly. What did i do wrong on my pc? or is it a bug?
Also after flashing the stock rom /showthread.php?t=2209637 flashtool has problems identifying my device "27/003/2013 01:03:26 - ERROR - Cannot identify your device." it opens a page to select my device but also there is no xperia z in the list.
thanks for your help
Newest Version of FlashTool provides Xperia Z driver (Also ZL Z Ultra etc.)

[Q] Xperia T stuck at device encryption failed

Hello everyone!
My Xperia T LT30P is stuck at "device encrytion failed please reset" everytime I turn it on. The "Reset Device" button on this screen doesn't do anything when tapped.
I tried to flash 7.0.A-Global firmware via Flashtool but it always gets stuck here at 0%:
21/009/2013 12:09:46 - INFO - Loader : S1_Root_7054 - Version : R5F001 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE
Is there anything else I should try?
Thanks a lot for reading.
flash a latest version of JB,
or better yet, install PCCompanion (Just google it) and repair your phone that way

did you try Phone Repair option in PC Companion?
Thanks for your replies.
I have also tried LT30p_9.1.A.1.140_CE_Skyfall.ftf but same result. I have also tried different versions of flashtool.
PC Companion can't detect my phone. I have tried 2 different computers and each one is stuck on install MTP drivers. I guess unless the drivers are installed, PC companion won't detect it.
I have also tried connecting the phone in flash mode but PC companion asks to restart the phone in normal mode.
run the driver.exe file in the flashtool installation folder.
choose fastboot, flashmode and tx drivers
try again with pccompanion

PC companion still can't detect the phone. I have installed/re-installed all the drivers you mentioned.
As Flashtool isn't able to flash the .ftf firmware to the phone, is there any other firmware available that can be flashed via fastboot?
No.
Try downloading Sony's EMMA program and repairing with that

Thanks for your suggestion.
Seems like EMMA only works with unlocked bootloaders. And my Xperia T can't be unlocked as USB debugging is off and there is no way I can turn it back on.
Further help needed, please.

Hi ZervZ,
First off, are you sure you have the proper usb drivers installed ?
also make sure to end any running adb connections by other software, ie: if you have bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator, make sure to close it completely and end the adb process using task manager (just to avoid any conflicts)
third, how do you boot in fastboot mode ?
it should be : completely turn off your device, connect the usb cable to the PC usb port (not the mobile yet), now press and keep holding the volume down key, while holding the volume down connect the micro usb to the device and continue holding the volume down key.
If this wasn't what you were doing, try it out and let me know what happend.
I'm surely a usb driver are properly installed. Every device but my phone work properly.
For flashtool drivers. Firstly, I've try installed only my device and flashmode+fastboot drivers = not working
then installed all driver that driver pack delivered = not working too. (both install with driver signing off, all green)
I'm not using or even installed any android emulator on my pc. only one program that I aware of conflict with flashtool is sony pc companion, which I'm not open it at all.
how I get in fastboot, same method as you provide but I used vol up, vol down for flashmode .(neither working with flashtool, even I've a blue led on, they still shown Ive connected in flashmode)
Now I'm try to uninstall a semc flash device driver and s1 service.
I think its a source of my problem, but problem is I can't. haha.
Might be need reinstall my windows
Edit: After I've restore my windows to the point before Ive install any drivers. Problem still persist, now its get worst, because pcc shown Ive connected sony device all the time .(same with flashtool.)

have you installed the drivers for ZR itself? when u installed Flashmode and fastboot drivers, u must have missed to tick the drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board which are for ZR. reinstall all 3 I mentioned above and see if it works,
Also what version of flashtool are ou using? I am using 9.13 for my ZR which is recommended by the dev for first Z series phones. u may want to consider that as well

Well, yes I installed Lagan board on my my 1st try. Its wasn't work.
Then I just installed all of them, still wont work. Or even no driver installed from driver package. (only flashtool and connect my phone) that wont work too.
Same problem, but it can connected on 1st try, if I try to flash anything they will error and stay connected in flashmode again (Until I uninstalled a driver & reboot my pc)
As I said, flashtool 0.9.18 since its a latest version, might try 0.9.13 :good:
And.. I cant repair my phone via pcc too. Since they need to get in flashmode :crying:
have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?
Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC

read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,
May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device
check and remove everything using adb.
formatting pc is last option :good:
