Hey guys it's me again.
Today I'mma teach you learn how to use Flashtool and Xperia Companion. But first, I need you to know that I am not responsible for bricked devices. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this tools before flashing it! You are choosing to make these modifications and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
That's funny but true hurt as hell.
I. Xperia Companion
- Sony PC Companion (a.k.a Xperia Companion) is a free download set of tools and applications you can use when you connect your device to a computer. PC Companion contains Xperia Transfer, a tool for moving content from an iPhone to your new Xperia device. You can backup and restore data whenever, repair or upgrade Android OS for your Xperia device.
- I often use this tool to repair or upgrade my firmware's device, very useful of course. Warning: do not unlock bootloader (or you have to say bye) even you re-lock it later.
- Don't wanna flash something? Okay, ignore this message and get outta here =)))
II. Flashtool
- FlashTool is one of the most powerful tools for Sony Xperia devices and has been around since the Xperia X10 days. The utility has been updated to version number 0.9.18.1, which brings a very useful new feature – the ability to download the latest firmware files for your Sony Xperia device.
How to flash :
- First step, let's the program starts. Install necessary drivers for your device in C:\Flashtool\Drivers, include fastboot and flashmode ones.

- Click the lightning icon -> Flashmode then choose firmware file to flash (end by *.FTF). Surely you get them from official sources, one of them in this site at least.

* 0.9.11
This version is a big split with every previous ones. And not fully featured as previous can be. I changed the UI framework from Swing to SWT because of a better integration with Mac UI.
Here is what is missing from previous releases :
No multilingual UI
No recovery installer
No kernel installer (for 2010 devices)
No ROM cleaner.
Cannot Add/Edit/Remove devices.
No TA hex editor (in pro mode)
Version fully compatible with all 2013 devices (Z/ZL/Tablet Z etc etc)
Unified Bootloader unlock feature with the new BLU icon. No more unlock plugin. As for flashing, BLU is available even without any connected device, even with unrecognized devices.
Updated SuperSU package. Added servicemnu root hack (works with Z/ZL for all FW up to .434). Known working for Xperia T/V too
Added TA partition backup/restore. Using this feature, you can backup TA before unlock. Restore TA will relock the devicee and get DRM back as well as BE2 (full complete relock). You cannot count on this feature if ever your device is already unlocked. Missuse of this feature can brick the device. Check XDA thread for more infos : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
* 0.9.10.1
Resolved a serious bug leading to a softbrick (reported on LT26 devices)
Added a more complete german translation (thanks papayayoghurt)
* 0.9.10
Updated SuperSU to 0.99
Updated translation system to almost all application frames (from there, people who want to contribute to translation will be able to.
Reworked menus to be more clear (too much things into Tools menu)
Update java to jre7u10 for both windows and linux
Device editor can now deal with loaders for setool unlocked / modded phones (unlocked loader)
When flashing, better loader detection that will prevent flashing of modded phones to fail with a verification header failure. For such phones, unlocked loader must be included in the device settings. One is included for R800 devices and is probably the same for all 2011 devices (tested only with R800 device ... thanks nickholtus and alejandrissimo)
No more application hang when flashing with debug mode on. Better debug output (more helpfull)
Reworked a little sin parser to better detect sin header size
Flashing session is now closer to what SEUS or PCCompanion do.
Mac release now bundled as an App inside a dmg
Application look and feel is back to System look and feel. So reworked UI composition to look fine on all platforms. Did that to have Flashtool menu appearing in the shared menubar on MacOS
Resolved issues with 0.9.9 libusbx stuff under linux and tools not working (rooting for example) under windows. Everything should be fine now.
* 0.9.9
Solved libusb bug for some devices under linux and mac. Libusbx is now used instead of libusb (http://www.libusbx.org) libusbx is a more active fork of libusb. libusb libs can be replaced by libusbx libs on the system. Flashtool embeds prebuilt libusbx libs into x10flasher_lib/mac|linux/lib32&lib64

- Click the lightning icon -> Flashmode then choose firmware file to flash (end by *.FTF). Surely you get them from official sources, one of them in this site at least.

- Everything you have to do is wait.In case you wanna wipe data, backup your vulnerable content i.e picture, video, call log ... etc, make it clearly that wiping gonna delete them all - no way to restore. Remember that.
Highly recommended for expert users if they need a smooth-stable device after many long days running.
- Enjoy and good luck!
