[Sony Xperia M] cabriofahrer:
Hello [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION], I hadn't had time to look into that matter until now, but I installed a Linux Fedora onto a spare old HD so I could download and install Flashtool. I don't know how to obtain the "carrier branded ftf" of my region, I only know that it should be something like c1905 15.4.a.1.9-r6c vodafone ES (Spain). This is the info I got using xperifirm running on wine. But download of ftf's does not work, neither does it work using the black round button in flashtool. Anyhow, googeling I could find some customised UK ftf and IU tried to flash with that, but I got an error as posted in the log file.
