Does anyone have this issue?
I flashed the latest Oreo zip with twrp & used that for some days. now I want to revert back to stock .291 ftf.
But flashtool fails. I used the same flashtool, same firmware files multiple times to revertback to stock. But now It says
.....Something like not for this device... >Older flashtool(searched & found this solution but not worked)
...Something like bundle is not valid...>The flashtool that I used before & successfully flashed.
Those error indicates my firmware file isn't for my device. but Believe me IT IS~!!
But to clear my understanding I downloaded fresh firmware from Xperifirm not worked.
Then I searched and downloaded firmware from XDA but ALAS! Not worked either.
I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 different versions of flashtool but nothing positive.
I think, Flashing oreo made some changes to our device & it's no longer a Xperia z2(on software sense i mean).
What to do. Anyone tried flashing stock .291 or any other older firmware after flashing OREO???
Sony Z2-D6503

No Problem being a Unlocked z2!
I have unlocked it on 2015. since then I did everything(including official ftf firmware flashing) NO ISSUES EVER.

Which file contains password? I don't remember having a password but if the firmware zip file has a pass then I can upload the ftf file without password as I have extracted it already.
If it's flashtool then just install any old version.

I've put the Generic .757 ftf in firmware folder of flashtool. But when I select flashmode in the application, it wouldn't show the ftf to flash.
Any help?
is flashtool looking in the correct folder?
Make sure you are using the latest flashtool as well

The application looks in firmware folder which I put the ftf file. Also I'm using 0.9.16 version of flashtool which is the latest version.

No, I have downloaded it from here: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/41-sony-xperia-z-ultra-c6833
In fact, I'm trying to switch from GPe to monx .757 and I've read that I should flash .757 with flashtool first, then flash monx .757

Doing that way is safer
What you need is baseband, kernel, elabel, etc so one of the stripted FTFs from here should be fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712899 just use the one for your model.
After flashing the FTF you will need to get recovery again, so either DooMKernel or jackie099's
If you do flash a stripped FTF the phone will be in an unbootable state untill you get a Sony system on to it (ie monx or Sony)
---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
The other way of cause is to flash monx then the FTF, that will mean less farting about. Then if you feel the need you can flash DooMKernel at a later date

After flashing the stripped FTF, how do I flash monx? via recovery? since it's a .zip file
I also tried flashing monx .zip on top of the GPe but that didn't work out and failed
You should be able to flash monx from the GPe rom, then flash the stripped FTF on top from flashtool.

Well, I've told myself, why not give blueether's carbon rom a try! I installed it and then I wanted to move to monx .757 now I'm stuck with cmw not starting aroma installer on monx .zip and I dunno why I don't have TWRP to restore my previous nandroids.
I've seen better days

download jackie099's kernel with dual recovery and flash that with flashtool/fastboot and you will have twrp again to restore the backup. I dont know why CWM doesnt want to the aroma installer
Hi guys, i'm stuck with my F5121.... I tried so many things.... but i was unable to succeed... If somebody can give me the kernel image of F5121_6.0.1_34.0.A.1.264 for me to be able to fastboot it with flashtool... Thanks guys...
Hi guys, i find a way to get out of my misery. I used the new version of flashtool which is able to skip the "loader .sin". So i was able to flash my XPERIA X F5121 with any firmware i want!!!!! So just use the new version of flashtool 0.9.22.3

I haven't done something special. I have installed the last version of flashtool . Then i flashed my X 5121 usin the normal steps...
Lauching flashtool, Flashmode, Volume -,
But in the new version of flashtool you have to click every line of firmware (in the previous versions, you just have to choose the firmware you want to flash by cliking one time).
Once you have choose the complete firmware, the FLASH button is available.

I wouldn't know about what you are doing, but version 9.18 worked for me when newer versions didn't. Maybe give it a try.

For flash tool, the ROM file needed is .ftf format. To flash .img ROM you need to use Command line to flash

Guys i have a weird problem with my z2. Every time i use flashtool i have this error on screenshoot when i try to flash a firmware. With emma all works but there isn't latest firmware for z2. Now how i can do to get flashtool working? On z3+,xz and x no problems .Works perfectly. Sometimes works on z2 but after million of try. And after again that error. How i can do to fix this? I want latest firmware but i can't have so easily. Some trick or recovery to have .291 fw without bootloops? Thanks

I put on first post ,before strangely it doesn't put. But i solve with install of previous version. Why with latest doesn't work only on z2?
I had same error. I solved problem same way as you did. Installed previous version.
Flashtool just has some issues on older devices on new versions of Flashtool.
I know this won't solve the problem...but just saying...the latest version works with my z2
