    NOTE: BEFORE YOU FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE INSTALLED SONY PC COMPANION ON YOUR PC

    HOW TO FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE (.FTF/ROM) ON YOUR SONY DEVICE

    First of all you need to make sure you download the LATEST sony Flash tool 

    If it is your first time for your phone on the PC, install the sony flash mode driver, and then get the HW detection to work. Eg, install the driver, then turn off your phone, and then hold down the Down volume button and plug it in – windows will then go into hw detection and install the driver for the phone. It will try to check online, so skip that, and it will install the proper driver you just locally installed.

    NOTE: Been seeing people having problems flashing stock .253 based ROMs. Thanks to gm007 for suggesting to use the beta4 version of FlashTool if flashing stock .253 ROMs. You can download beta4 version from here http://zipansion.com/3LgV7
    • Install Flashtool and install the drivers 
    • Once installation is complete, navigate to the folder where FlashTool is installed as shown in the picture below This is optional if you want to create a shortcut to the desktop 
    • Now install the driver for the SONY. The driver installer can be found in the FlashTool folder 
    • Now for Flashing your SONY PHONE. You will need to download the STOCK .ftf (firmware/ROM) and place it in the firmware folder located in the flashtool folder 
    • Now for flashing. Run the FlashTool app. Make sure that it's in "Flashmode" and click "Ok"
    • This window should show up. Please select the ROM you are gonna flash. And follow the prompts
    NOTE: Please FOLLOW the prompts! The picture below says:
    • Unplug your device from your PC
    • Power OFF the device (Turn your phone OFF)
    • Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button
    • While holding the VOLUME DOWN button plug your phone back to your PC
    And that is it, you are all done. Power up your SONY and enjoy your new stock ROM
