Seus downloads the firmware file to a folder on the pc as it flashes the phone. U use this file to create an ftf file in flashtool so you dont have to bother with Seus when u need it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NiklausMikaelson:
Multiple files

I have multiple large files in my folder, so which one should I choose?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you're in the right folder (It might also be C:\ProgramData|Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fx), the two biggest files should be around 12000 kb and 104000 kb big, and their name should start with FILE_ (after the underscore a bunch of numbers). those should be the ones you use.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NiklausMikaelson:
FILE_278994861 - 209,828KB

FILE_278574274 - 163,555KB

FILE_278574274 - 158,145KB

FILE_276191630 - 26,121KB

FILE_276191605 - 16,428KB

FILE_278990579 - 15,623KB

FILE_278524644 - 15,403KB

And others are below 1MB. So you can see that it's not possible to choose correctly my firmware (I might end up creating a Hybrid. :D )

Is there any possibility to decrypt those files so I can see my firmware?

Maybe I have so many these large files because I updated Xperia Mini too. (I have Xperia Neo). But I need my regional firmware that's in that folder because I upgraded to ICS, then downgraded to GB (regional) but I don't like bloatwares there, so reinstalling SEUS is not an option. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
delete everything and let seus download the firmware for the device you want.

choose repair or something, it will download the firmware just abort when it wants to flash, you should have no trouble then :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NiklausMikaelson:
I told you that is not an option, because my original firmware is somewhere in those files, and since I flashed 2.3.4 global firmware, it will download it again (not the regional that I need and want). :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Look at the creation dates for those files then,

Every one of the really big ones will be paired with a smaller one.

My guess is the biggest one contains all the bloatware, so discard that one.

If you can roughly remember when you updated that Mini, you can discard the files from around that date too.

If you can't remember, just create two bundles, and see which one works on your phone :)

(You can do a repair in SEUS without attaching your phone to the computer, you just select your phone-model. SEUS will be unaware what firmware you are running currently, and just select the latest firmware available for your phone)

(Additionally, if you hate the bloatware, you can delete it manually using a file-exporer with root-access on your phone)

Hi,

I have followed the procedure and got the .TFT file in the mentioned folder. The size of the .ftf file is around 220mb. Is this OK? I am not sure whether the output file size should be this large? Can anyone tell me the output .ftf file size.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] opanak:
It depends of phone and FW version. For my ST18i it is about 265 MB on 2.3.4 and 370 MB on ICS.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] androidbpb:
Ok...Thanks !!

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

I updated my X10 MP from SEUS and I used the two largest files to get the .ftf output file. Can anyone please tell me that flashing this output .ftf firmware via flashtool on my X10 Mini Pro will give me stock android 2.1 official every time? What if my boot loader is unlocked and I am on a custom rom and kernel. I fear I may brick my phone. Please give some suggestion...!!

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you've done everything right, you've got the kernel and rom that is the official se firmware, any custom kernel will be replaced by the stock one and any custom rom will be replaced by the stock 2.1. If your bootloader is unlocked or not doesn't matter much because the loader is flashed together with the kernel.

Just make sure that if your bootloader is already unlocked, you select Unlocked bootloader when flashtool asks for it in making the ftf-file. If you select Locked bootloader and flash it on an unlocked bootloader it may give unpredictable results when you try to flash another kernel, or try to restore the bootloader. On the other hand: If your phone's bootloader is locked, and you have chosen to include an unlocked loader in your ftf-file, the flash will fail.

Best way is to include the unlocked loader and flash the firmware with flashtool when your phone's bootloader is actually unlocked. That will give you the exact same result as updating using SEUS or PC Companion. If you want to relock the bootloader do it using S1Tool.

It's the only tricky thing about it, but neither will brick your phone :)

I've actually used this to make three backups.

One for firmware to flash on a locked bootloader, which has come in handy for some people in here (My phone is the E10i, and i've helped some people get back on stock firmware when they've accidentally relocked their bootloader on a custom kernel)

One for firmware to flash on an unlocked bootloader (for personal use)

And one that includes only the kernel and the loader (If i've tested a custom rom and kernel, I restore my stock ROM from CWM and then flash back the stock kernel, that way i've got all my settings, root, cwm, data and apps that i use regularly and i'm back to normal in about 5 minutes)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tpteam6:
It worked, thanks so much. But it never asked for device selection.. will that be a problem when flashing?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Luckieboj:
All my files in the blob_fs folder were from 2010 even if I updated my phone today (December 18th 2012).

The I removed all the files, and did a factory reset. Folder still empty!

Why?

EDIT:

My bad, as was running PC Companion, but then I launched Sony Ericsson Update Service instead and it worked.

For information does it not seem as PC Companion saves the files on your HDD, but SEUS does. Have now created my own Nordic version of 6.1.1.B.1.54 to the Xperia Sola!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tendi001:
Thanks you for your job. I need that
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chilakil:
thanks for the guide! :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
PC Companion saves them to C:\Programdata\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db etc etc...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sf_pet:
SEUS finds that my device already has the newest software. As a result, no updates are made, and all the files created in the \blob_fs\ subdirectory are smaller than expected (less than 10 kb) :(

What do you suggest to do?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Don't connect your phone to the pc when you run SEUS, it will give you a repair option, let's you choose the model and then downloads the firmware. Just abort the process when it asks to flash the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sf_pet:
I've just tried the suggested way, but SEUS cannot proceed without checking the software in the phone (thus, it's seems necessary to connect the phone)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vashta:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Sorry, i forgot to tell you to choose update with the phone disconnected from the pc.

It can't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and assumes it's broken, so it will offer you a repair option :)

Okep. I assume you have the latest FlashTool installed already...

1) Get this (SEUS) : http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/sony_ericsson/models/seus/7572.html

2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SEUS.

3) Go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericcson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs\

4) Copy the 2 largest files you'll find there to C:\Flashtool\leajian (I assume you created there a folder called leajian)

5) Run FlashTool

6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files

7) Source folder : C:\Flashtool\leajian

8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Files to convert

9) Click OK

10) Wait patiently till it finishes...

11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Firmware content

12) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia X8(E10i)], on Version write the firmware version and/or the Android version [ex. 2.1.1.A.0.6 (Eclair_2.1)], on Branding write the region and your name if you wish [ex. Greek (by Leajian)].

13) Click OK

14) On Device Selection choose the device it is for (ex. E10i)

15) Wait very patiently...

16) When it finishes the .ftf file is located on C:\Flashtool\firmwares

17) SHARE IT ON XDA!!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] clint3142:
Hi all,

I've spent most of the night parsing through the forums looking for similarities in the failure complaints.

One item that seems to stand out repeatedly in the NVFlash output is the:

device config fuse:

This data item on all devices that seem to be successful has a value of 0

Mine (17 and many of the failures) and all of the failures seem to have a value other than 0

The service manual shows this device has a JTAG port underneath the Ext SD card slot.

If possible I'm going to try to build a cheap JTAG interface, I'm going to need the ribbon connector from a trashed device for this connector, there are 2 in the G2X and the Optimus 2X so if anyone has a totally shot device (run over by car, etc.) I need the 10 pin connector (cut ribbon no problem).

At some point I will need to work with on of you DEV's to get the interface working.

Hi, so I recently put the BAMF custom rom on the phone last night, and it seemed to work alright, I got a couple of random reboots and bootloops, but I figured I would fix it in the morning, so I left my phone on the side, and in the morning when I woke up, it wouldn't even turn on, I've left it plugged in for a couple of hours into a wall charger, the front and back of my computer and nothing. If I take out the battery, and plug it in, the little orange light does appear at the top for about 5 seconds then disappears, nothing on the screen though at all. When it is plugged into my computer, I do near the noise that means it recognized something was plugged in but that's it.

Thanks

I bought this from Amazon. Came with 2 batteries and a battery charger. Instructions say to "season" (full charge to full depletion) before using normally, 4-5 times.

I'm running Droidth3orys latest Axiom Patent Zero M3 with Francos 161 (for good reason, it's the best on battery life, in my opinion).

My settings are as follows:

Right now I'm on my 5th full charge.

Average battery life: 8hrs plus or minus 15 mins.

Average screen on time 2hrs 30 mins plus or minus 10 mins.

Now granted it's only been 5 cycles, i was hoping for more legs on this guy. Not impressed but I'm not giving up just yet. Going to give it a week or so.

I bought the Andida 2200mAH a while back....same thing. Not impressed.
