Here goes the Enforcer.

Dude... I was nothing but nice and respectful in my last couple posts. Every single time you post, it is because you ran into a new problem that has been answered a billion times. I am a jerk for a reason. I am sure you would rather not have a bricked phone. If you would listen to people, read, and take care the time to look out for yourself, I would not have ever been rude. I was rude in the first place with my comment because you completely ignored my suggestion to stop and read before you broke your crap. I have tried to help you. Ask anyone here in the E4GT section if I am being helpful. I am also being extremely nice. Even with my rudeness. You can ask about that too. You should not be starting a new thread with every simple problem. Everything a user like you needs to know, is more then answered in the stickies and OPs of any thread you go to. I have seen many nooks come through here, but never have I see any as helpless as you.

I can get ugly very quickly. Please don't not test that. I am trying to help you do things for yourself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Poor Grammar:
Ok..I'm reading up on going back to stock right now..in case ur were wondering
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Poor Grammar:
R u bored r something:p.. I'm helpless. .save it dude..things I have done in last week any other new user would been have bricked phone. .sry I won't brick phone for u.. I'm only guilty off being impatient. and for u being ugly..we past that. . What could u do besides ban me r something:D.. if it makes u sleep better go for it..honestly u must have a boring life to keep wasting time on me.. when u could actually b helping somebody. .go fix a computer r something constructive:D..Byebye
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Another suggestion, you should let it all go bro, stop responding several times to the same post, is not helping you get your issue fixed. That's the point of your thread correct? Keep it that way. Just keep doing what your doing with going back to stock and let it roll. :beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Nope. Not bored. Tired of your crap is a better term. I am tired of you posting every little problem you have and expecting the experienced people like myself to help you. We took the time to research and figure all this out on our own. You won't even do that. I am done being decent.

1: Your grammar and spelling is atrocious. I have to read your posts at least 3 times to understand them. I can't even take your seriously with how bad it is.

2: Just like your name, you expect people here to fix your screw ups. Not going to happen anymore. We are not the government. We don't give handouts.

3: You are spamming our forums with your self inflicted problems. Fix them yourself. I and a few others are done trying. If you don't want to take the time to even try to do it yourself, we refuse to waste our time on you.

Get it through your head. You can't help yourself, we can't help you. I'm done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KennyG123:
Thread closed

OP I STRONGLY suggest you do a LOT more reading and less posting before flashing anything on your device

Also I suggest all in here to remember this is a development forum so post professionally

Also XDA-Developers is NOT a support site OP. It is a development site.

Rule 1 is to search before posting. I respectfully request you do so

Thank you for your cooperation

Have a nice day

Flashtool 0.9.14.0 For Xperia Z + Guide for flashtool​

== Information ==

Flashtool is a tool that allows you to flash FTF files on an Xperia device, this is a powerfull toool when your device is bricked. I'll make this a thread for:

- How to install it?

- How to use Flashtool? (2nd post)

- How to recover a soft bricked device? (3rd post)

== Downloads ==

- Download flashtool for you operating system from the official FlashTool site: Download FlashTool

- Download the XZU device folder I created: XZ Ultra device files

== Installation ==

- Run the installer or unpack the archive for Linux and Mac

- [Optional] Windows uers can go to C:/FlashTool/drivers to have a nice wizard to install fastboot & adb drivers and also drivers for other devices

- Copy the downloaded device file archive to C:/Flashtool/devices

- Open up flashtool, go to "devices => manage => import" and choose the device file you downloaded

- Installation finished!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
== How to use Flashtool? ==​

== Some basics before starting ==

- Entering Flashmode:

* connect your powered off device while holding volume down to pc​

- Entering Fastboot (bootloader) mode:

* connect your powered off device while holding volume up to pc​

== Install an FTF file ==

FTF files are the regular Sony firmware files, installing them is quite easy and powerfull to recover a soft bricked/semi-bricked device.

- You need to put your ftf file in C:/Flashtool/firmwares before flashing it

- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar

- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose Flashmode

- The following screen should look like this:

- Click the Flash button to flash the FTF :)

- Wait for the prompt and connect your device in Flashmode

== Use Fastboot toolkit ==

- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar

- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose "Fastboot" this time

- You'll get the following screen:

The options you'll use most would be:

No I can't, it is greyed out, but I just realized, do I need to be rooted for the backup? So far I have only used your tool to upgrade my phone to 510, but it is not rooted. Is this why I can't do a backup of TA?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] danilos2k:
yes you MUST be Rooted but I'm rooted and it doesn't work :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
sorry for silly questions but I think we always learn something and is not a shame to ask.

To use Flashtool your bootloader need to be "locked or unlocked" ?

-Answer is doesn't matter if your bootloader is locked or unlocked -correct?

-Some one post it "you can't use flashtool if you are root it" (stupid????)

Of cause you can, that's why is a Flashtool correct ?

-Why we need to backup TA partition? So after when you want to restore your X-Reality feature you need to "Lock bootloader" root it and restore it backup ? Correct?

I know the answers. But to learn something you need to make sure you learning the right thing.

Thanks for answering.

I simply granted SU access to ADB via usb, and it did everything in just 30 seconds or so, resulting in a zip backup of just 88kb.

I checked the content, and the .img is about 2Mb, while the other files are 33-34-55-85 or so kb. Is it supposed to be this little??:confused:

You have to copy the tool to your application folder - or by dragging it to the launchpad - and start it from there not from the dmg file itself.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spixe1:
What happened to the "Restore Bricked Device" section?? I really need that right now :(

My phone randomly crashed/restarted during a custom rom install via CMW. Now it hangs at the opening "SONY" screen. Won't go away, no LED icons, can't reboot or boot into recovery, can only perform a hard reset with a pen, which results in only the SONY screen again. PC won't recognize it.

I assumed that the "part 2" of your guide, flashing a stock ftf, would do the trick. However, after following all the instruction, the firmware is in the right folder, flashtool has the proper drivers and it shows C680X, and I click the flash icon, choose flashmode, select the firmware, click flash, wait for flashtool to tell me to plug in my phone in flashmode, which I do... and then nothing happens. The screen still says "Wait for flashmode" even though windows notified me of a usb device being plugged in. After a couple minutes (of just waiting) windows reports the usb device has been removed (though nothing happened in flashtool, it still says waiting). Tried this in both flashtool.exe and flashtool64.exe (because backing up my TA I was only able to do via the 32bit version). Still nothing.

What can I do to fix this? Did I do something wrong or is part 2 just not finished yet? ...

You will find in c:// flashtool/drivers/ driver.exe

Hi,

I'm new to the sony environment, and just got a Z1 which is randomly rebooting.

I wanna flash .534 FTF, will it void my warranty? And do I need to have root, and do the TA, or can I just skip it and flash the FTF and it'll be as if I just took it out of the box?

Sorry for the noob questions

Mate you might need the Z1 forum for that, wish there was a 534 for the ZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Hello guys, I need some help here.

This is my first Sony device, so please be patient :)

Here is what I have:

TA Backup

All drivers and flashtool installed (latest version)

A C6802 running AOSPA

Here's what I want to do :

Go back to stock, locked bootloader.

The problem is, I've no idea how to do that !

Flashtool doesn't recognize my device when I connect it and it doesn't even list the ftf I've put in the firmware folder :(

I think the file is corrupted. Does anybody have a mirror for .532 for C6802 ? ( I've already tried the repository, but the google docs link just keeps stopping the download every 5 minutes !)

Plus, should I restore TA before or after ?

What if I want to keep the unlocked bootloader ?

Any help would be appreciated :)
