Using Flashtool (EMMA)

I was finally able to get fastboot unlock on my XZ1 Compact. Took forever to get the right drivers installed and for the device to recognize. Now I can't get it to show up when I plug in for Flashtool (fka EMMA). Any advice on exactly which driver I should be using to get EMMA to recognize the device? I just need to reflash the original XZ1c firmware and I cannot get this to recognize the device at all.

are you aware of Newflasher?I've never used Emma but I've never had to either. Newflasher is very easy and works every time.[TOOL] Newflasher (xperia command line flasher)

The problem is that I can't get the phone to connect to my PC in Flash Mode. I've checked my drivers and it connects as 'Sony sa0117 ADB interface driver.' That works for Fastboot mode but not flash mode. So I can't flash any software to it either using Newflasher (which gives me an error message every time) or EMMA. I have no idea why my phone won't go into Fastboot mode. When I hold power down and plug it in it never gets the blue light only a green charging indicator.

Holding volume down while plugging in USB is the proper step. If you're using Newflasher, you want the the LED to be a solid green, not blue. Holding volume up while plugging in will give you the blue light but that's not how you use Newflasher.
Just to clarify: volume up + usb cable = Blue LED(Fastboot mode)
volume down + usb cable = Green LED(Flash mode)
Make sure you have the firmware files extracted to the same folder you have Newflasher in but delete .ta files(except the one in the boot folder). Run newflasher.exe, not fastboot. It'll ask you two questions. The first is for the gordon gate drivers which might solve your problem. The second is to dump the trim area which you don't need to do.
I had an issue with drivers but it was almost 2 years ago so I don't remember which one fixed which issue but I used the sony one you mentioned and this one:

Found this on 4pda:The problem is that I can't get the phone to connect to my PC in Flash Mode. I've checked my drivers and it connects as 'Sony sa0117 ADB interface driver.'
Driver for connecting in Fastboot mode Leshcat-WinAll-drp.zip . To connect a smartphone in this mode: hold down the volume up button and connect the smartphone to the computer with a USB cable. Official but not working driver: (1.27 KB)
I don't think you can download attachments unless you're a member but the Russian captcha is a nightmare. If you still need, I'll download and link through dropbox or something.
