Step By Step Guides for Flashing SONY Xperia Android Devices
Step #1. Download Flash Tool for Xperia from here and install it on your PC.
Step #2. Download Windows PC Drivers for Sony Xperia Android devices and install it on your PC.
NOTE: the clossest you can get to Xperia drivers is by downloading SONY Companion from here and Xperia Flash Tool Drivers from here. Install both on your PC and you're good to go.
Step #3. On your Windows PC (from the start Menu), open/launch EMMA. Flash Tool for Xperia is named EMMA after successful installation on the PC.
Step #4. Turn Off your SONY Xperia device.
Step #5. Connect a compatible USB Cable to your PC and then connect your SONY Xperia to the other end of the USB Cable while holding the flash key.
NOTE: Flash Key on your SONY Xperia device is the button or combination of button you can use to enter Flash Mode on Xperia devices. The Flash Key varies from model to model. You may check here for the complete list of Xperia Flash Keys: How to Enter Flash Mode and Fastboot Mode on Xperia Devices.
Step #6. Click to select the firmware for the connected Xperia device.

NOTE:
1. You have to be connected to the internet throughout the operation.
2. Your Xperia device must remain connected to the PC until the operation is complete.
3. You must have a stable power supply/good power backup throught the operation.
