What to do, all drivers are there.... Bootloader locked... no root and the xperia not booting up , its bootlooped.... Please help, searched for it too much but I failed every time....
So my friend tried to flash the latest rom 23.1.D0.509 he said it would straight fail. He tried a different download, it failed somewhere flashing it. now the phone doesn't boot up. It will go into recovery (stock) and flash mode. when I try to flash the old or new ftf it gives me this erro "19/048/2015 20:48:37 - ERROR - Can't read a byte value" I'm now stuck. any ideas?
After banging my head against the wall a few times. i managed to flash back to 4.4, then it took to 5.0 I have no idea what happened. glad its fixed. i did check resetnvram to get rid of the " ERROR - Next to unit should be the size on 4 digits" after that went just fine
How did you get it to flash anything? I tried for a few hours to flash the leaked firmware using the ftf file and the Xperia flash tool but the tool doesn't have the z3v as an option what is the workaround to that I'm on stock firmware not rooted

I had issues with flashtool as well. Had the Z3 device driver, flashmode and fastboot drivers installed. Phone was in usb debugging mode and set to allow installation from unknown sources. Still had issues with it saying "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." .... "Error flashing. Aborted"
I read that someone had success with using an older version of flashtool, so I installed 9.18.4 and tried again.
I got the "Drivers need to be installed for connected device." Reinstalled those three drivers mentioned above and tried again.
Got the loader.sin error again, along with "Cannot identify your device." with a prompt to select a device from the list ( I usually chose Z3 (D6603) up until now).
BUT this time I hit cancel and was told "You can only flash devices."
I unplugged my phone, reloaded the ftf, hit flash and it began flashing!
Hope this helps.
The log below is continuous, I split it up for some clarity
Here's my log (was flashing to .376 before rooting to install prerooted lollipop):

Yesterday, I have been playing around with my phone (Z3V) and I was able to flash it to latest leak (23.1.D.0.509) and had no issues. Prior, Flashtool that I downloaded from flashtool.net, the latest version seemed to me that it will not put loader.sin into firmware content. With newest flashtool, the flashing might not work. If you need a detailed guide how to get to latest leak for your phone (z3v) then I will write it for you. I can only tell you how to do it without a root since I was not planning on rooting my device.
P.S. : I will make a video guide on how to flash z3v without root to 23.1.D.0.509 in few days.
Please do I don't see an official update any time soon

I tried to flash this device which is an imported model with my generic country firmware using flashtool, but there was an error and the process was aborted.

I don't know what went wrong, this is my first android phone so I'm new to this whole flashing and rooting thing.
Edit: Didn't install the flashmode driver beforehand
I have used the instruction to come back to kittkat. The FTF bundle is SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf and flashtool ver. 0.9.18.6
but when the flashing starts I got error, here is the log:

the first error "bundle not valid" I have ignored, as it was adviced on other forum and then connected the tablet in flashing mode (vol-) and quickly after that I got:

dude I only know that I had successfully downgraded from LP to KK just from flashtool..(the best I did for this tablet) check if your ftf is corrupted.it happened also to me 2 times in my other mobile devices..
how can I check if it is corrupted ?
That was my fault. I only choose the "generic drive" after running flastool-drivers.exe -
the driver specific for Z3 Compact Tablet was needed (was at the end of the list)
Nevertheles, after first attempt the Flashtool did not start flashing but enter into MTP mode and install
the drivers for the tablet, as I suppose.
Only after the second attempt it started flashing.
Now is ok, I have KK again.
