Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is flashtool good for? cant we flash roms anyway?

Im not really experienced in the android hacking scene so please dont hurt me for asking this question haha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
superb tool. sorry if this is a thick question but with the exclude baseband option, can we for example keep the baseband from 2.3.3 while flashing 2.3.4?

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
Hi DooM!

Thanks for this, however I feel comfortable using ye' old fastboot folder :D Can I still use that to use your v08 and future kernels or would you require us to use the fastboot within this new flashtool?

for the flashtool im going to use this new one, that is if there's newer or better firmware.

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Flashtool is a tool for flashing (derp) stock builds of Sony Ericsson firmware. It allows you to be independent of PC Companion and SEUS in order to upgrade and repair your phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Straight out of the top draw, nice work guys.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ya u can use whichever way u are comfortable with....

this gui based tool will be easier for some users who are not comfortable with command line tools...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Here is a small update that resolves the following issue :

Device not recognized correctly when plugged.

https://github.com/downloads/Androxyde/Flashtool/Flashtool-0.5.1.0-update.exe
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
The Fastboot toolbox is a great idea, it saves time and allows to use one tool for all the operations. It's great that you thought about it.

Would you say Linux support is a priority for the future?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fast_furious69:

[Xperia Play Android Development] joabrey:
thx will do!

thx for this! i just got mine in, brand spankin new and unlocked, and i rooted it with this flashtool with no issues, now how do i install a custom recovery? i tried rom manager, but no sony devices appear, :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
The link now gives a 404 page error.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Simply go to the flashtool homepage and you will have link to newer 0.5.3 update
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
I can not install this, every time I go to install (the full version not the update) it tells me "The installer integrity check has failed"
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Your downloaded file is corrupted. Probably because of an antivirus or something like that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
Nope I don't have anti-virus crap on any if my computers. I have downloaded it multiple times as well even using my friends comouter and the same thing
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
What is the MD5SUM of the downloaded file?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
I will check when I get home, I don't have home internet so I downloaded this while wirelessly tethered to my xperia play
[Xperia Play Android Development] thanksgiving60:
jeez

just realized im still on 0.2.4...lol

been working like a charm for me anyhow
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Stupid Question Here:

Do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash via flashtool?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope no need to unlock bootloader to flash FTF
[Xperia Play Android Development] Droid117:
Can this be used to flash custom kernels?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes, we have included fastboot toolbox... but u need to unlock bootloader to flash them...
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
Great about the linux support, guess I can uninstall Windows now
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm really happy. I don't need my VM anymore! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
This is embarrasing... but how do you work it once its unzipped? >_>

Also must setup fastboot...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You need to have JRE 1.6 installed (you can download it from the Oracle site), OpenJDK doesn't play nice with it. Once you have it, you have to run the "FlashTool" file. Forget the .jar, though it looks tempting to think that it's the good one :P

Remember to input the udev rules in normal, Fastboot and Flash mode!! And if you use Ubuntu 11.XX, remember that the way to input said udev rules has changed from 10.XX.

Hint for the team: give the FlashTool file an appropiate icon, like the lightning bolt button, otherwise it won't be intuitive.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
I will, for the icon :-)

about jre, it is included in the latest 0.6.6 version (both 32bits and 64bits JRE) and Flashtool launch script detects if you are on a 32 or 64bits system and uses the appropriate JRE.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Strange... when I tried to run it without JRE installed, it complained that it wanted JRE.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
The latest version ? by default it looks at x10flasher_lib/linjre32|linjre34

if no one is found at those places, it will ask you to set the JAVA_HOME variable to a valid jre installation path (then if you want to use another jre than the one that comes with FT, just set JAVA_HOME to one of your choice, it must be a Java6 version)

for udev rules, this one covers all cases :

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
Whatever option I select, I'm afraid nothing happens. I have JRE installed, and its fine.

Fastboot and Android SDK working fine too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
FlashTool is a shell script. Open a terminal and go to the Flashtool folder then type ./FlashTool
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
In the GUI, you just need to make a double click. It will ask you if you want to run it in terminal, show the contents of the script in a text editor, run it, or cancel. Just click "Run" and you're done.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
Ah, silly me trying to run it without the "./" earlier.

Thanks very much to both of you for the help. Its a great little program, thanks devs :)

Cant download flashtool

Every time I try and download flashtool i put in the phrase IE says page cant be displayed.... Can anyone help me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Get a virus attack everytime i download the Windows Full Edition..

AntiVirus blocks it ofc, but that annoying time limit with hotfile aint doing justice..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
FYI, The file site is blocking USA now, Says service is not available in my country. Luckily.. I had it installed already.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
I went to the homepage for flashtool but upon trying to download it says not available in your country. Frigin ACTA can I get a mirror plz?

-lolz I didn't see the latest post be4 mine. Should of grabbed it sooner
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
You should still be able to download the Linux version, if you really need flashtool. Perfect excuse to install a Linux OS :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
I've never been able to get fastboot working in Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. I always have to boot into my Windows partition if I want to flash a kernel. The rest of the functions in FlashTool seem to work fine though
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
can anyone mirror this? i keep getting a virus attack everytime i download from the official site

and when it finishes downloading and i open it i get an error (mostly security error)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
That's probably due to the exploits used in the rooting tools, disable or ignore your av
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
I wish there was a way to use the linux version on windows... That I knew of, cuz it looks like I'm gonna be carring a broken phone around tmr.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
I Tried..but the files just wont open!!! :'(
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
Again, if you really need it you could always dual boot, I mean you can install Ubuntu in Windows, and partitioning to dual boot is fairly simple.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
For those having issues downloading, use this site. http://rapid8.com/ then put the download url in box and click download. Its a proxy basically to help you get around it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gneville:
Can anyone mirror these files on a more sensible host please? Rapidshare would be my preference!
[Xperia Play Android Development] SirRudolph:
Yeah. Website link says its now allowed in my country. :|

Can't anyone just make the simple mirror already? :(

[Xperia Play Android Development] ryocoon:
It looks like I am out of luck, short of finding some out of country proxies. Neither the Windows nor the Linux (I'm actually looking for the Linux version) are downloadable due to blocking my country (USA).

Could anybody possible re-host the Linux version, or provide an alternate download? I hate to ask for it, but I don't have a copy of an older version of the Linux one to work with. I know the devs want to keep download counts, and I would get it through normal means, but it wasn't letting me do so.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:

Can I use this to unlock Bootloader of Xperia Play, or just for flashing etc?

I ask because I was able to unlock BL of my Xperia X10 using Flashtool (for X10) so I'm wondering if it'll be the same for Xperia Play too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no u cant unlock bootloader of Play using this
[Xperia Play Android Development] yacloo:
run flashtool with root(sudo)

I have a r800i (UK) xperia play. I was on the .42 fw but i wanted to install jokawild v3 rom which required .62 fw. So currently, I am now putting the .62 on my phone using flashtool. My phone is on flash mode although I dont know why it takes sooo long just to install a FW. Its been 4 hours and yet its still on 22%. This cannot be normal. Is this because I didnt untick/tick anything when I started flashing the .ftf file?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
What version are you using ? on what file does it hang ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TwilightLoz:
Ive posted all the details in this forum (including screenshots and attachments):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679415

I was using .42 FW previously. And i forgot to make a backup.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Did you try on another computer ? maybe it is an issue with your USB ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TwilightLoz:
I did try it on another usb in my computer and the same thing happened so i do think it will work if i try it on another computer. btw, how long does it take to flash a fw?

EDIT - the phone is currently off and charging. although I dont think it actually is charging because there is no led light coming from the phone... have a bricked my phone?

This usually means you are trying to flash a ftf not made for your device.

For Sony Xplay can I unlock bootloader through this flashtool and relock again??//

yes it is possible. There is a bundle made by blagus specially for relocking unlocked devices. But you will definetly loose DRMs even after having relocked.

I tried to flash xperia play with R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK. But it was giving an error message ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed" . please can you suggest me a solution
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Looks like the firmware you are trying to flash is not made for your device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] yosora:
I had that too dude, even I can´t flash ANY .FTF but I flash roms changing the .ftf to .zip and extract some files and then flash them with fastboot is Ok, but I can´t flash basebands. Its sad but there is not much info about this. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
I too cannot find a way to flash baseband 64 on my r800i! I get the same error as the post above and I even made a post about in Q&A but no one is answering :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
Whatever the version of FT you use, you have this error ?

have you ever flashed your phone with SEUS or PCc ? if yes, did you try to create your own bundle and then tried to flash it using FT ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
I solved it, thanks anyway Androxyde.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
How ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Thank you this has saved me many hours! Anyone else experiencing a "field blackout" on dialog boxes in Flashtool? Using Win7 x64 and latest x64-Flashtool

Seems java still doesn't like the 64bit flavour of Win7...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
And if ever you run the 32bits version ? (Flashtool.exe instead of Flashtool64.exe) ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Nope, Still doing it with the 32bit Flashtool , but it's not a big issue as I know where to click :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
I think its related to your windows installation. Something interfering.

I will try on my side.

Can you :

Give me the link to the ftf you downloaded ?

Give me your locale settings (regional settings) ?

I can flash .58 Enchanced v2 easily, for example

Quick Report: I found very DANGEROUS ISSUE - when you choose for example BL_Relock file, and after this one of the .ftf like that .42 (not showing firmware content), Flashtool will flash files from BL Relock, and say that .ftf .42 was succesfully chosen and flashed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Androxyde:
your quick report is very impossible.

Impossible just because if you try to flash a sin file not made for the phone, it will fail with a header verification failure.

But I will make some tests here and tell you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Oxynium:
BL Relock was just a example, i flashed different ROM. First i clicked on Enchanced v2, then clicked on .42 Generic UK, flashing started flashtool said that .42 was succesfully chosen and flashed so i was happy. I turned on phone and WTF - .58 enchanced v2 instead of my target .42 Generic.

So basically flashtool says that chosen ROM was succesfully flashed, but it turns out that previously clicked ROM has been flashed instead.

PS: Sorry for my english. I hope you will understand it :D

"when you choose for example BL_Relock file" from my prev post

Have you tried flashing in that damn unlucky .42?
