You do not need to add anything manually! Flashtool should ask you to include the 34.fsc file into the .ftf automatically when it creates it after closing xperifirm when the firmware bits have been downloaded. You can add it manually to the .ftf file after flashtool created it, but there is no need to. Because even if its missing from the .ftf file, flashtool should pick it up again automatically from the installation folder and use it. If you do not get the message to include/use it, you need to reinstall the latest version of flashtool (deleting all folders first) as said above.

Oh and the creation of the .ftf first starts when you close xperifirm after download! flashtool will then then put the .ftf together and its in this step it should prompt you to include 34.fsc to the ftf. The .ftf is just a masked zip file btw.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] thegumptiontrap:
Update:

I finally went ahead and did exactly the steps outlined above, and it worked. I used the 34.fsc from the F53XX folder, in the Devices folder.

If anyone on a Mac is trying to do this, know that it worked perfectly for me. For me. I'm no expert. I don't know what I'm doing. I just know that it worked.

If you're on a Mac you'll need to download XperiFirm separately from Flashtool, download a program called Mono, and open XperiFirm in Terminal by typing (without quotes) "mono /XperiFirm.exe". I believe you'll need to do this as the root user. You should also know that for some odd reason it seems that all programs need to be closed and XperiFirm needs to be clicked on and the only program running while the files download and unpack. A user on Reddit helped me with this when I failed to get the firmwares to unpack successfully multiple times.

You also, as far as I know, need to delete the fwinfo.xml file from the bundle before creating the bundle in Flashtool. This video tells you what you need to do overall, minus the newer issues that I dealt with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKKRznRWWso&feature=youtu.be

Reading through this thread here, and my thread on Reddit, should give anyone using a Mac a good idea of what you need to do at each step. And, probably, the likely problems you'll face when attempting it. The Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/6bp1vy/xperifirm_problems_on_applemac/

tl;dr: (but, seriously, do go ahead and read everything before attempting this)

Download Flashtool. Download Mono. Download XperiFirm. Open mono by typing mono /XperiFirm.exe in Terminal while signed in as root user. Download your desired firmware. (I went with Customized UK.) Go into Terminal and change the setting so that you can see all program files. (You can see how to do this in the linked Reddit thread.) go to users/(your username)/flashtool/devices/F53XX and copy the 34.fsc file. Put the copy in your recently downloaded firmware file. Delete the fwinfo.xml file. Follow the rest of the directions in the youtube video linked to above.

And remember that I don't know what I'm doing, learned all of this while doing it, and made sure to do it within my return window. It worked for me, but that doesn't mean it will work for you.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] realtuxen:
concrats you only learn by doing and sometimes failing :), flashtool is basically 'idiot' proof. You do not need to delete fwinfo.xml file, flashtool will filter it and any dangerous .ta files out from flashing.

But I do see things are different on mac. Odd that you cant start xperifirm from inside flashtool. When did it create the actual .ftf then? When you closed xperifirm? If that's the case I see the problem with flashtool not propting you to include 34.fsc. But if flashtool compiles it and puts it in the */.flashtool/firmwares folder there should be no need to copy it manually it should prompt you, and as said if missing at flash time it should also automatically pick it up from the users/(your username)/flashtool/devices/F53XX folder since flashtool already knows the model of your phone when you connect it. everything should be pretty much automatically (yes/no prompt) with no need to copy or delete any files.. that was only needed many flashtool versions ago. :)

Reading up on mono for mac I have a feeling why you needed it for xperifirm. :) thanks for sharing the info!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] thegumptiontrap:
From what I was able to find, through a lot of Googling, Flashtool runs quite a bit differently on an Apple/Mac. I was never prompted at all, and I wasn't able to find any settings or preferences menu inside of Flashtool. That YouTube video I linked to shows pretty clearly the issue with XperiFirm. That's one video I was glad I found early on, as I kept getting some kind of error message each time I tried to open XperiFirm in Flashtool. With regard to the deletion of the .xml file, I got that from the video. He explains how to download the firmware separately and then create the bundle in Flashtool. He instructs you to delete fwinfo.xml. I honestly have no idea if it matters or not. I just deleted per those instructions. I do know that I attempted the flash many times before manually copying that .fsc, and it failed each time with a no file script error. There was never any prompt or option to add it.

Mono, from what I know, is just a program that allows you to run certain Windows executable files on a Mac. XperiFirm seems only to be available as a .exe.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] realtuxen:
Ok. Still flashtool should use the 34.ftf you copied from the devices folder at flash time if missing, but surely I'm not to say what it did :) And ofcause it's neater to have it included in the ftf. I'm almost certain you do not need to remove fwinfo.xml it's old remisants from earlier versions of flashtool some also still say to delete certain .ta files because they are harmful. That's not needed either as; yes they are included in the ftf firmware file and are potentially harmful. But flashtool will filter them out at flash to be safe, that is what it uses 34.fsc for and why it refuses to flash without it (to be safe).

I understand why you deleted fwinfo.xml if uncertain and included 34.fsc if you never got prompted even at flash., you kinda need to then. heh :)

And yeah since xperifirm is in visualbasic and apparently not included as *nix native, you need mono. I honestly thought flashtool included a more friendly solution in the package.

Edit: thanks again its always nice when people include how they got it working.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] thegumptiontrap:
No problem. I wan't even really arguing anything before. Just stating the steps I went through and what I found along the way. I have a slightly better understanding of how this all works now, but I'm still barely comprehending any of it. I just hope my trial and error here will be able to help a few people trying to get this sorted out on a Mac. And even then, a lot of the info came from the person who was helping me in that Reddit thread.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] realtuxen:
Me niether I am not trying to dictate anything as I have never even used flashtool on a mac. I was also only trying to explain how flashtool usually work in relation to xperifirm which could not be applied. And also how flashtool works and why it needs a fsc script to filter out potentially dangerous files such as simlocks etc. from the firmware package.

Some time ago we needed to make sure we deleted or excluded certian files manually along with fwinfo.xml, since we do not need thst anymore, I think it filters fwinfo.xml out to by the fsc script. flashtool is pretty safe to use now that it also uses fsc scripts and refuses to flash if it is missing (it's my understanding they are provided to flash as precise/safe as sonys update tool would do it)

I myself remember how confused and nervous I was using flashtool the first time years ago lol :) I also used reading and trial and error. And I also remember my first bad flash, it almost gave me a heart attack lol. But then again by trial and error and reading again I also found out it was not very hard to recover. :)

I am sure other people can use your guide, and I personally also learnt something. After all sharing info is what the forum is supposed to be about. Hehe
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] realtuxen:
It's not always good to do forum talk while on public transportation on a phone, at least not if you are old and not comfortable using it for such things, or watching youtube without headphones because it is not appropriate.

Just came back here re-reading your first post and on again and I do see that I was in my own head and over complicated some things rather than go to the point of what you actually asked, as you were right on the money in the very first post, if flashtool does not prompt you to include or use a .fsc script you can add it maually. And I could also have told you that 34.fsc is good since I used it to update may security patch. Sorry man, I feel all bad now. Though you did it sorted after getting tired of listening to 'how things are supposed to work'

[Huawei P10 Accessories] Ally153:
Hi all,

I'm looking for a good glass screen protector that covers the whole screen (usually they are ones with a black or white border), but I'm really struggling to find good makes. I tried a protector from LK, but the glass was pretty cloudy and had a 'rainbow' effect raising our from the centre of the protector, it also turned out to be a disaster to remove, with the strong adhesive leaving adhesive marks and shattered glass as I tried to remove it!

Anyone else had any experience with other protectors and could make a recommendation?
[Huawei P10 Accessories] c411umuk:
I tried the 2 from Nillkin, but only one had full coverage with black edges. The glass was fine, but the edges looked cheap and tacky.

There is a video of full screen glass on YT and the guy that posted the video has posted videos here (unofficial Huawei), but he's just a shill and has no interest in answering questions, just promoting products.

I use Mofis tempered glass (full coverage). It's working like a charm.

He called Jozinek in this forum.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

A friend of mine got this brand, he got it from china, it's called called smartdevil, although it's only a OEM brand, anyway, it includes a frame for accurate placement of the protector, full coverage glass protector with about 1/2mm rim to accommodate a case, liquid filler to fill up the sids rim.

no link will be provided unless you intend to flight to china to buy it, just to let you know they are available so may be some searching you can find it online or similar item since it's only a oem product.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] boonkoh:
I also had a horrible experience with the LK screen protector. Rainbow effect in the middle and really annoying adhesive at the top and bottom. The transparent screen itself was also not very clear.

I then switched to an OMOTON brand one and it is amazing! Fingerprint and smudge resistant. Fits perfectly, full coverage across the screen. Looks sturdy. Cutouts perfect. Only downside is that it ends a bit short at the top and bottom, so still exposed there unless you use a case with a lip.

Avoid LK, and give the OMOTON one a try.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] Ally153:
Do you have a link to where I can find them? Tried Amazon UK and Googling, bit couldn't find anything.

Glad I'm not the only one with a bad experience with LK. Looks like the transparent Omoton protectors that don't cover the full screen are easy enough to find, but I'm struggling to find the full coverage one :( where did you get yours from?

I got my OMOTON screen protector from Amazon (prime delivery - fulfilled by Amazon). You're right, it isn't full coverage (smaller than LK's one). But its close enough to full coverage if you have a tpu case that has a good lip.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] bolek007:
Yesterday I got my Omoton tempered glass (Amazon.co.uk), and I am dissatisfied - the glass does not fit properly on the display (air space on both sides)...
[Huawei P10 Accessories] c411umuk:
This is Nillkin's. Similar size* but adheres perfectly (sorry for crap picture).

I also tried their 3D version (full screen) but it makes the phone look very cheap.

*Actually the Omoton looks wider.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
My friend has the same protector and it comes with a liquid adhesive to fill the gaps.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] Ally153:
What was it about the 3D version you felt looked cheap? Was it easy to remove the screen protector?

Right now I'm using the GhostShield by TechGear. They are relatively cheap and difficult to install, but after watching a video on installing them, it was a little easier. They are extremely thin - almost invisible and are self healing, but any dust caught under the protector will result in a bumpy surface. I'm also not entirely sure how great the protection is they offer. My Ringke Fusion case started lifting the to corners of the protector, but I think I stretched the protector (really easy to do with a membrane protector this thin!) slightly as I tried to get the bubbles off the surface.

Still looking for the best solution to protect my screen...
[Huawei P10 Accessories] c411umuk:
The plastic borders. It was very easy to remove as the plastic borders don't really have much in the way of adhesive.

I will try a Cafele next, when I can be bothered to order one.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
Just got both of these two delivered from www.taobao.cn

first one is a anti blue ray with installation frame for exact right positioning and liquid filler for those air gaps along the edges of the protector, the second one is a normal tempered glass protector as a two piece package with the same accessories.

Could you share full link, please? :) Would like to buy one for mom :D Thank you :)
[Huawei P10 Accessories] tomzzi:
I got Omoton full coverage tempered glass but i am afraid its not compatible with silicone cases? It is good screen protector but sadly not ideal for cases.

It looks like cases lift screen protector on edges slightly so air gets underneath... Any good screen protectors that are not full coverage so i can still use case?
[Huawei P10 Accessories] romdroid.:
I bought the nilkin glas but the black borders around the screen protector takes a lot of screen space, I don't recommend it!
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
Benks have a really good one, it's a full coverage with white or black boarder (adhesive covers throughout the whole glass, not just the edges), just like those on the iphone, it curves and cover the edges.

Benks have two version, KR PRO this is also full coverage, glass & plastic sided and XPro+ full glass coverage.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] D_Grunt:
I am using the Benks XPro+ full glass cover and I think it's great. It's a 3D glass screen protector, covers the screen perfectly, right to the edges, with no air bubles. Also it has an oleophobic coating.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
its a good product, i just got a spare one yesterday incase I need it, slightly cheap than my first one.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] Jokerman54:
I'm searching for a tempered that covers the whole front size and not just the screen. As I read here Benks has two good options. So what is the difference between kr+ pro and xpro+ and what is recommended?

Also if I get the smart view case will it be able to close or the tempered glasses (any tempered glass) will be in the way?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
Benks have two, one is all glass, the other is PVC and glass (display in glass the outer is PVC), best to go for the Benks as they are easy to tell what you have, there are also unbranded ones, which seems to come from the same factory and indentical but at half the price, but on many sites you can tell what is what and just have to rely on the sellers description.
[Huawei P10 Accessories] Jokerman54:
Which one is glass and which PVC and what is better?

Also, do you know if they would work with the smart view case?
[Huawei P10 Accessories] kms108:
Which is which is stated in my other post, which is better is up to you and depends if you want a all glass or plastic + glass, I dont use the smart view case so I can't comment on this.

Cafele really is full coverage, but it has no direct contact with glass around the edges. It just comes with little bottles of oil for you to drip in the air bubbles to make illusion of perfect fit. And for a week or so it will look perfect. Then you have to reapply the oil

4G is the same as LTE. Actually LTE is even worse than 4G standards. LTE is a pre-4G technology (in middle between 3g and 4g), while 4G and 4G+ have the "LTE advanced" standard included. You want to see 4G, if you see LTE then you are slower.
