I can confirm the linux version is working on mac osx (mountain lion) if you have JAVA_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set and as well installed libusb (via macports: sudo port install libusb)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Can you explain exact steps you did to be able to run Flashtool under MacOS ? I will update the Flashtool Homepage to include MacOS installation guide.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Hi. Sorry for taking a while but I wanted to test if everything works. :)

Well, I must say it seems the fastboot mode does not work with this configuration. Possibly because there is no udev or equal on MacOSX. But the most important part - the Flashmode works fine... although It always asks for the phone model that it can't automatically add and that "sk17i" is mapped to sony ION... and ION is mapped to sk17i/mango :D...

Okay here we go:

The thing is there are several ways. The most important is: You need libusb. you need to compile it yourself or use some tools to build that easily like macpots or "brew". I prefered macports so:

sudo port install libusb

successfull? if you have standard configuration of macports libusb is installed /opt/local/lib/ look for it:

ls -al /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib

Is it there? cool.

you need to add this library path otherwise some applications won't load this. Do you use bash? add this to your ~/.bash_profile in terminal:

# libpath to libusb for example:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is/was empty before, it doesn't matter. this works :)

cool. But trying to start FlashTool may still error in that there is no JAVA_HOME set :/ hmm sadly you do a "locate java" or "which java" and it tells you it's in /usr/bin/java ...

heh... but putting JAVA_HOME=/usr is wrong... do a "ls -al /usr/bin/java" and you see interesting: it's linked. Apple provides it's own Java and is responsible for java updates :)

Now it depends of what OSX you have... I am on mountain lion and I added following line to my .bash_profile:

# JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME=`/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java_home`

Yeah cool, there is a tool "java_home" that provides the origin path of your java :) So if you run another OSX just look for that java_home file it's usually at the same path where the original "java" file lies. just execute that to set the path or find out the path :)

Remember fastboot does not work with Flashtool. I dunno why. BUt fastboot is easy to use via commandline and well documented, so no problem :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Do I need to update the drivers(fastboot & flash mode) included with this current release? I installed the drivers from the 0.9.0.0 release. I am using lww.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
If everything work fine, no need to update drivers :)

I just updated drivers from ones published on Sony website (mostly added missing ones and took the same label as on sony website)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
@Snoopo

in x10flasher_lib, you will find a fastboot.mac file which is empty. Replace it with the real fastboot binary for Mac, don't change the name, keep fastboot.mac inside x10flasher_lib.

Then fastboot should work. Can you confirm ?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Helo Androxyde. I did what yu suggested... yah did not check if the flastboot.mac was valid but now it is .)

do you need it? I will attach the fastboot bin for mac.

Now your tool works fine :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] botski:
thanks for the update. can you mirror the link?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yacloo:
if java linked on /usr/bin/java then there is no need to setup JAVA_HOME path

just run flashtool with this command

/usr/bin/java -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -jar x10flasher.jar
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jaithesimpleguy:

How can i root my phone with this? I use Xperia Mini ST15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
In Tools -> Root menu you have all known exploits implemented by FT. You can try every of them :)

If no one works, then your firmware version is not rootable. Possible solutions (search on your device specific forum) can be a kernel downgrade to make one of the exploit work, then kernel upgrade to come back to original kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TodorSRB:

password protected archive

Androxyde, when uploading a new release of flashtool, would it be possible/feasible for you to upload in a password protected archive so at least the antivirus will let us download the package without deleting it when it is almost completely downloaded (Kaspersky does that)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
I can try at least :)

But I warned on the homepage to disable antivirus when downloading. If ever you take the time to read and pay attention to what you do ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
Yo ! ^^

Thank you very much for your great work. :good:

I'm currently using Flashtool 0.9.6.0 under Archlinux. I see in its Changelog :

- Resolved an issue introduced in 0.9.1 in Sin Editor (Dump data). Didn't work anymore for yaffs2 images

So I suppose that the issue has been fixed.

I would like to extract system.sin's files from a FTF file (ST15_4.1.B.0.431_Sony.ftf). I did that :

- 1) Unzip FTF

- 2) Convert system.sin to system.yaffs2 via Flashtool 0.9.6.0 with Sin Editor (Dump data)

- 3) unyaffs system.yaffs2

I expect to have a message like : "end of file", with all my files / directories extracted, but all I have is a Segmentation fault.

I don't think that the issue comes from my unyaffs tool since it works perfectly when extracting a system.yaffs2.img from a CWM backup.

Or maybe I miss some steps in my previous procedure... ? :confused:

I also tried unyaffs2 with 2048, 4096, 8192 pagesize :

No segfault, but it does not extract anything... :(

Very interesting things are some warnings :

In fact, unyaffs2 doest not extract system.yaffs2.img from a CWM backup, contrary to unyaffs, but it returns no such warnings.

This observation may help...

Could you help me please ? :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Could you give me a link to download system.sin you are working with ?

for unyaffs2, is possible with those parameters : 131072 page size (should say 131072 + 496)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
- On my unyaffs2, I can only set the pagesize to 512, 2048 (default), 4096, 8192, and 16384 bytes.

The last one warns : image size (352463683)is NOT a multiple of (16384 + 512).

- My unyaffs2 complains that 131072 pagesize is unsupported and exits.

- I do my tests on a FTF file generated by myself from the SUS db-files, via the Flashtool Decrypting Tool. Since uploading my system.sin will take a lot of time, I did the same test protocol on the FTF file provided from the main Xperia tutorials page. As expected, even if the two system.sin are slightly different (different md5 checksum), the result is still the same with unyaffs : Segmentation Fault.

Here the link to the ST15i FTF file. I simply use unzip command line to extract the FTF file into .sin files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Thanks for the info on how to extract sin file ;) I didn't know ... LOL :D

I will check and come back to you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
Haha ! :laugh:

I precised this, because I don't push aside the fact that unzip could mess when extracting the FTF file. :p

Thank you very much in advance. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
personally, i find it very risky to have antivirus disabled while doing anything online. i actually try to be entirely offline if i have to disable my antivirus for any purpose at all.

i do have exclusions set so i can download flashtool and use it even with antivirus enabled but it would just be easier and more convenient (for everyone) being able to download flashtool if it were in a password protected file. Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Have you ever successfully extracted yaffs2 content from ST15 system.sin ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
No I haven't. I own my first Android device 3 weeks ago. My first attempt was with Flashtool 9.0.0. It was a failure in the same manner.

Since the FTF file is perfectly functional, I guess that there is no any kind of corruption in it.

Flashtool manages to flash the firmware in the device from the FTF file... so I guess the good algorithm to extract the .sin files must be known, and must be written somewhere... :D

When I saw in your Flashtool Changelog that there was an issue clearly identified as a bug when converting .sin to .yaffs2 images, I tried it again and decided to report this to you. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Can you try with this version : x10flasher.jar

replace your flashtool x10flasher.jar with the one provided. (you must be on 0.9.6.0)

for unyaffs, use this one (worked for me) : unyaffs GitHub Homepage

here is precompiled windows version : cygwintools
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
Thank you for your time. :)

I replaced the x10flasher.jar : Flashtool does not run. Nothing is displayed in the terminal, no GUI, no stack trace... it just returns to the prompt. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
I built the jar under Windows. I suppose you are under Linux ? I have no linux box at the moment. Will compile a version when I'll be back at home then.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
Yeap ! Thank you. I'll wait for this. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
Here is Linux version : x10flasher.jar
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vincenzosk8:
RoX !

Yeaaaah man ! :highfive:

Works like a charm. Version 0.9.7.0 incomiiiiiing ! :victory:

Thanks a lot ! :D

Hey Guys I have problem.

I downloaded the exe file given there(106 mb) on the website and then when I start to install it, it says that the installer integrity check failed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Hi,

Can I let my device boot in flashmode automaticly without pressing any keys? Just in case keys aren't working, how could I do that? Or is there another method to do that (adb reboot or similar)?

And how can i add a device? What shall I put in these fields? For what can I use this function? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
disable your antivirus for installing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
I tried. But i'm still getting the same problem:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
check the md5 of your downloaded file and compare with the one given on the flashtool homepage then
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] expeacer:
Hy!

.SIN build still not work? I mean if I make a System.img, can I make a system.sin with this .img and an extracted sin-header?

I tried it with 0.9.0.0 (i think), but I got Sin header verification error...

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
How can I check the md5 sum of the downloaded file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
You can't do that. sin files are signed by sony. that is why you have a header verif failed error.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
This tool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
I have tried downloading the file twice ( the setup for flashtool). Both the times in Chrome. I compared the md5 sum of both of them and they didn't match with one given on the homepage.

Edit: both were download from upload.to as in the other two the connections just stops in its own.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dimasdanz:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Thom4s:
Hi, I like android for the multitasking but i think it is done in a bad way. I wish the 'task management' would behave more like for example a windows taskbar.

I have open apps. I can switch between them. I can close those apps (ok i dont care if they stay in memory, i just dont want them cluttering my 'app switcher').

Also when I re-open a 'closed' app, i want it to start from the beginning, not where I left it. Only the apps that i keep in the 'taskbar' should stay where i left them.

Basicaly, simply the way a windows taskbar works. Even if you close interner explorer, it does stay in memory, but it appears closed. It starts up very fast coz its in memory, but because you closed it, it starts from the 'begining' (unless otherwise specified).

I hate to have 2 different 'settings' apps open both pointing to some 2ndary settings app and they open somewhere i left them, but maybe I want to do a whole new thing? I then have to press back multiple times to get where i want. Or Opera staying open all the time, and when i'm done browsing i want to quit it. I don't care if it stays in memory, i just want it to get out of the task switcher and start from the 'beginning' when i re-open it. I hate opening opera and it has 3 taps open from something i was looking for earlyer but i don't care anymore. I then have to close those 3 tabs to get a new clean browsing experience.

Understand? I wish someting like this would exist, but they all want to 'kill' tasks. I don't want that. I just want them to APPEAR they are closed. Also i only want to do that with APPS. Not processes or even services.

I hope the task switcher in icecream cookie will be like this!

Another sense filled Google update?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
They can't really remove it since it was sold with it
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
They have already discussed Sense 4.0 for future devices. This device will likely get ICS with Sense 4.0 near the beginning of the year.
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
So I will just have to look for senseless Rom then
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If you don't like sense get the nexus
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
I'm thinking about it,but I'm loving the beats audio headphones
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
By the time ICS hits there will be several ROMs, and those ROMs will obviously translate to ICS eventually.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I would like to see sense and ICS but I think I'm going to return the Rezound and get the Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
how come.

im always interested in the reasons why people like or dislike these devices.

I got this beucase I just came from a samsung (droid charge) phone, and before that I had an HTC phone (dinc).

my friend has a samusng captivate

and another friend has the samsung infuse

we all agree that samsung phones are horrible with build quality and GPS issues.

I never had the problems with my dinc that i had with the droid charge. The UI is horrible, so you have to get ASOP or just fail with Touchwiz.

Sense is pretty much awesome compared to the other manufactures overlays. Is it better than stock, thats up to the person, but at least with the rezound we can have the option for both.

With the nexus, you get a crappy GPS (proven and documented issues) , and the no choice between stock or sense.

If you hate sense, then i can see why sticking with this phone sucks.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
+1

Couldnt agree more. Granted that Verizon locks out HTC HUB, so Skinds are out of the question, but i think Sense dominates most Manufacture UI's that are out today. And I happen to frikken hate the STOCK UI....LOL....but i love MIUI tho. Im interested in seeing ICS in person tho. Not many changes in the UI with ICS, but its looks awesome tho. Im on the fence about this one, and I jsyt came from Sprint on Monday. Guess im an HTC person. Speaking of Skinds, has anyone been able to get any installed? Ive tryied and installed quite a few already (knowing they prolly wouldnt work anyway) and they installed just fine but when i head into the "Applications" section there not listed for me to uninstall them. Pretty wierd. Feedback on this would be great. Sorry to go [OFF-TOPIC]
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yeah. Hub and HTCSense.com will be available when we get root. Skins also will come.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Ohh really? I know we talked about this the other day, but i didnt realize u can add that with root. I mean, cause Sprint never locked it out, So ive never had this problem. THats awesome...good to hear, thanks bro!!
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Not a problem. I'm not sure what apk Hub is, in fact, it might be laced into another apk. HTC Sense.com is however an apk.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
can't you just install sense 3.5 skin APKs via astro or something? I know hub won't work but we can get the skin APKs and install them I think
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Nah I've tried a ton of 3.5 AMD 3.0 for the hell of it, and they install just fine but they don't show up in the skins section. Even of I head Into the "applications" to uninstall it, there no where to be found. Pretty wired. Never seen an apk install successfully and not be able to uni.stall it.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
That sucks. Are there any skins from the factory? Like even a blue one atleast?
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
It's not that I hate the device, it's just that it reminds me too much of my Incredible and I want something different. I love the look that Sense brings to the phone (but I hate the launcher) and I love the option of going stock or having a sense rom, that was a major reason why I wanted this phone in the first place along with being able to add in a MicroSD card. One of the main things that's annoying me now is that the phone seems to lag when I' m using ADW EX or swiftkey X. It feels like I'm back on my Incredible! I read around that a factory reset helped some people so I just did one and hopefully it will improve the responsiveness of the device.

It's just that I feel like I'm missing out by not getting the Nexus. Root isn't guaranteed with the Rezound like it is with the Nexus, since I bricked my Incredible 5 days after I got it the lack of SBF/NVflash-type tools kind of scares me now because there's no safety net in case your device randomly decides it wants to turn security back on. Also there's always tons of modifications done with Nexus devices because they're developer phones. With my OG Droid I was messing around with roms and kernels every few days checking out what I liked the best about them. Once I switched to the Incredible in March, I liked the change but quickly grew sort of disinterested in flashing roms and kernels about 2 months after I had it because every rom was essentially the same in the end. That may be the case with the Nexus since but only time will tell.
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
I think root and S-Off are going to make this device amazing. We'll get stock ICS ROMs, Sense ICS ROMs. ROMs to fix the little issues. Everything gets better with custom ROMs. I didn't buy this device for the stock experience. I got it because I love the development the community does on Sense devices.

Rabble rabble rabble.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I think the only people who don't buy their device to customize are the ones who got it from work for free, and those who have no idea what some phones are capable of(Grandma and Grandpa who were tricked by carrier to extend their contract), lol.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I agree that root and S-off will definitely make this device better, Sense and ICS was also another big factor for me.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I am on a quest to get a Belt Clip Holster that works with my Sensation which has a Yoobao TPU cover.

I looked on Ebay and saw this one but it's expensive. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seidio-HTC-...Accessories&hash=item2a154db4cf#ht_3810wt_956

Anyone has experience or got one that's cheaper and works the same?

I am tired of carrying the phone in my pocket, and to be honest I like more the TPU cover than the OtterBox commuter that I also have.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have this with my active kickstand seidio case. But I am getting a tpu case soon. I'll report back if it works with this holster or not.:D
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I have the seido surface holster and it works perfect with my leather case. it was reported by someone else that it would work with tpu cases as well
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Thank you,

I saw a thread a while ago that someone used yours with a TPU cover and it worked perfectly.

What I am looking is a cheaper solution, $29 for it for me is too much.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I hear ya. But I have to say that the Seidio Active holster is a quality holster compared to the holsters I have had in the past.

I think you are referring to the video review of the tough casemate, active seidio and trident cases and the guy used the casemate case with the active seidio holster. Was there another thread that used a tpu with this holster?

It is well worth the quality IMO but each his/her own I say. GL to you!
