All FlashTool Features:
1. Phone Detection. ( This is confirmed as working the Phone was automatically detected and correctly identified ) :good:
2. Bootloader re-lock. ( To be verified )
3. Fastboot features. ( To be verified )
4. Flashing of .ftf Files (This is confirmed as working Here thanks to @mayanks15603 and @AnandSadar )
Other features will be listed as and when
HAVING PROBLEMS FLASHING? See this post Here by @mayanks15603 Thanks again bro.
For those flashing the entire .ftf YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THAT!!
Unless you bricked it of course and then the .ftf you flash should be the one designed specifically for your phone.
At this time we only have a choice of Android 5.0 or 5.1 so all you really need to flash is the boot.sin and system.sin from the .tft and Tick wipe userdata if you flashing between 5.0 >< 5.1 and vice versa.
IF and when 6.0 M is released then PLEASE give people who know the chance to investigate any changes to things like Partition layout and File System format before you dive in. :silly:
WARNING: Do not use any version above v0.9.18.6 as they will brick your device!!! (This is also stated on the FlashTool website)
The Previous release (0.9.18.6) is available from the downloads page HERE and should be OK for our C4 C5.
If anyone knows how to recover a device that has been bricked using said version could they please share it.
For the Noob's In this short tut I posted the maximum amount you should ever need to flash and in 99% of cases only the boot.sin and system.sin need to be flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-c5-ultra/development/androxydes-flashtool-features-xperia-c4-t3292650/page3

OK since the OP above seems not to be clear enough for some people let me remind you...
1. This is not F****** Facebook!!! so don't send me friend requests PM's etc unless you know me personally or we are working together on some project.
This is a FORUM which is totally different. If you do not know what a forum is or how they work then you should not be on here.
Here is a list of the RULES for the FORUM in general these are not mine but XDA's so stick to them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
2. Do your own googling and searching!!!
Some people are too lazy or too stupid to read the thread/posts or use the search options.
I am constantly amazed by the amount of people who want to root their phones etc who clearly have no idea what they are doing or even why they are doing it :silly:
3. READ THIS it echo's my thoughts perfectly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2439
4, If you are a genuine newb as defined there and who has read the Thread and done some searching but is still unclear then we will gladly help. :good:
Be warned though this sort of stuff is quite advanced and you should be at a reasonable state of understanding about how your smartphone works and what these tools do already. :silly:
You should be proficient with the terminology used in Android/Linux. :good:
You should be proficient at installing drivers and know how to use a PC and it's programs correctly. :good:
You should know how to use command line tools such as adb and fastboot :good:
If you are a Noob as defined there then you should keep away. :victory:
THANKS

Hi,
Thanks but can you be a little more specific.
eg: Did you flash the full .tft or a partial.
From the Fastboot cmd Did the (booloader) secure = Yes/No change
It's So we can add to the list of confirmed functions :fingers-crossed:
If this tool is fully compatible with the C4 and C5 then it's happy days all round

Before flashing tft file my bootloader unlock status was no, After flashing tft file bootloader unlock status became yes. I also unlocked bootloader using flashtool.

I flashed the full ftf file.. With the exception of removing the .ta file from the main package.. It worked and it didn't relock the boot loader or anything so the bootloader remained unlocked even after flashing it.. So yeah.. Also you have to be sure to check mark wipe user data option otherwise it will just flash system on top of the existing modified/non modified rom ...
Hope that helps !
Cheers!

Most just re-lock it's only unlock that wipes data but as always backup first just to be safe

There's a problem for me

Well, I cannot flash anything on my C5.
With flashtool it gives an error that says something like "boot.sin finished with error"
And is kinda urgent, because I have a bricked phone
P.S. Sorry for my poor english

---

FOR EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS FLASHING !
Be sure to select the lowest speed in the flashtool options just when you select firmware to be flashed.. It should be set at the lowest..
It solves the bootloader.sin error.. So all the best to everyone having problems.. They'll be surely fixed.. All the best.. And do report back
Peace! Cheers!

Device not identified
HI
I tried to connect my Xperia C5 Ultra Dual E5533 and here is the error received in FlashTool :
"18/000/2016 12:00:54 - ERROR - (MainSWT.java:1055) - Cannot identify your device."
Is there a way to cancel this type or error?
Thanks
François
