@munjeni thank you very very much for new version (v52) of New Flasher. I use Xperia™ 1 III (XQ-BC72) and it is running with 61.0.A.14.3 RU fw. I flashed newest version which is 61.0.A.14.14 TW fw with new version of New Flasher. And all things working perfect and also all userdata is fine. Thank you...
[Sony Cross-Device General] conqueror8888:
I used v52 to flash and it worked all the way until the very end, well, almost... but not quite.

I had the following error with the last command Sync. See below for the last section of the log:

=================================================

Set slot 'a' active.

Device is put now out of flash mode.

Sent command: Sync

ERROR: TIMEOUT: failed with error code 997 as follows:

Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.

error, no sync response!

Closing device.

Press any key to continue . . .

=================================================

I was able to reboot the phone and the firmware is updated to 61.0.A.14.3. Nothing else seems to be abnormal so far.

I checked this link as pointed on page 1 of this thread, however, it didn't give me any clue. Perhaps I missed it? Please point me to the specific page if anyone knows the fix cos I went through quite a few pages and didn't see any relevant information related to error 997.

Thank you!

Vincent
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Error 997 at a sync moment ignore it! Newflasher uses asynchronoys usb protocol and its well known sync isue for some, its because somebody have so fast usb so newflasher did not catched response so since two monute is timeout it ended with timeout after two minutes. If everything is ok ignore that sync error!

Hi munjeni.

2 questions for you, (or anyone):

- I saw in op a warning about being careful that Newflasher will flash everything in folder, so you have to make sure you know if what's in there is what you want, but it also says that there is nothing in Xperifirm firmware folder that you need to remove to flash stock rom. So if I just leave Xperifirm folder as-is, (with ta files and all xmls, etc), will it flash stock firmware ok?

- Anyone else get stuck at "inflating system"? I ran the tool yesterday, and it was going fine up until system sin, and then it seemed to get stuck. I left it for a while, since system sin is a big file, but I saw how it would keep printing a dot every so often, (.....), and it was doing that steadily for about 10 minutes, and then the dots stopped, so I thought maybe it was stuck...

Thanks for your work
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Everything like some .ta files, persist.sin is by default excluded by newflasher so it will not get flashed, you no need to delete now anything. Your device is?
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
XA2 (3123)
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Have no idea other than maybe usb port or cable isue
[Sony Cross-Device General] conqueror8888:
Thanks, munjeni! Just that it didn't give me that error when I flashed the previous version HK_61.0.A.11.23 but only this time with HK_61.0.A.14.3. That's why I thought I'd ask. Well, as you said, since everything works fine for now, I won't be too worried. Thanks again!
[Sony Cross-Device General] conqueror8888:
Hi munjeni and everyone,

Does anyone know why my previous HK_61.0.A.11.23 won't automatically perform the update to HK_61.0.A.14.3 when it becomes available? What happened to the OTA? Will the current HK_61.0.A.14.3 be able to pick up the OTA from now on? Or are there any magical tricks one needs to use to activate OTA?

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Cross-Device General] KnockOut^9:
it would really useful to know this answer. Otherwise, every time an update is available, we are forced to flash again and again every single newest firmwares for our devices (or maybe skip some, our choices), with all the risk can occour :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Take a look inside some pages back - relation to bug inside firmware. If I'm not wrong its related to the wrong fw version inside .prop inside vendor partition, it diferes between fw version inside system prop and vendor prop, probably that cause ota to not work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KnockOut^9:
i'm about to try this software even if i'm a little afraid to slip into brick or... related problems.

If something goes wrong, i really hope someone here, munjeni's first, can help me to solve the situation after i post my log. Even if i've read many pages of this thread, different things are not clear to me because of my incompetence in those kind of things.

My smartphone is Xperia 5 II.

-i see often people talk about slots A and B: but what are those slots precisely? USB ports on computer?

-i have the -developer options- deactivated. Is suggested to unlock that options and set something perhaps BEFORE flashing?

-i intend to flash only 1 firmware, for now, because of the risks can occour. My device has different bugs and i hope to solve the situation at the moment with 1 flash. Then i will wait for months or, why not, 1 year to flash again a new firmware with Android 12 (in the meantime it will be released). Am i wrong to think so?

-There is a chance to flash the right firmware that unlock OTA Updates and then i do not need to use Newflasher anymore?

-i will not modify the firmware directory, i will flash "just like that" i have downloaded it from Xperifirm.

-i have to launch Newflasher with "administrator rights" perhaps?

-if i'm not wrong, Newflasher works better using USB Port 2.0, right?

-maybe this is not related but i wanna ask equally: if i try a repair-software with Xperia Companion, the repair doesn't work. It gives me error. Can this thing probably be a suggestion to something wrong with my device that can ruin the flashing procedure?
[Sony Cross-Device General] KnockOut^9:
hi munjeni, i tried the procedure.

I really don't know if everything went well, i see at the end, in the BOOTLOADER LOG, some ERROR lines.

The smartphone works properly anyway with the chosen firmware, tell me your opinion if you can/want. Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
Tried again with whole folder included and worked fine, thanks. It just takes a while, (over 20 mins. just for system sin...)

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Hi, thats not a normal, did you tried with diferent cable and diferent usb port? Or maybe diferent gordongate driver? Everything ok in device mannager?

Edit:

extraction is doing on PC, does your PC slow?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
You used old newflasher, new version is v52 and don't contain bootloader log anymore. Everything ok even! To answer to your questions

1. slots is like partitions on your pc, when you set slot A or B bootloader will boot that slot like your pc boot specific partition

2. no need

3. risk with newflasher is minimal at least I haven't heard anyone kill a phone with a newflasher so far. Risk right now is "rollback protection" search about it in this thread! but it can be solved by unlocking bootloader, relocking bootloader to reset rolback index to zero before reflashing again

4. ota not work and I have no idea why. Somebody said that there is fw version diferencie between .prop from vendor partition and .prop from system partition which cause from fw detection which probably cause xperia companion and ota not to work, search this thread for more info I have no idea how to solve that.

5. ofcourse! Only right fw you need to flash & without modifications!

6. no need

7. recent version still have asynchronous usb protocol but I have implemented it better and it work probably ok now on usb 3

8. same as 4. That doesn't mean your device work bad!
[Sony Cross-Device General] KnockOut^9:
ok, thank you munjeni. I better understand now some things.

For now, i will stay with my 2nd phone (Xperia 10 III, probably in the same -blocked updates situation- -.- i don't know yet) and i will wait possibly new OTA updates for Xperia 5 II. But i believe you of course, i already know that OTA will not work. We'll see, i will update this thread in case of positive response.

In the future, i plan to use again Newflasher and i'll keep an eye on this interesting discussion, every day.

I thank you for your patience, efforts for supporting us since the creation of this Tool and for share your knowledge with us all.

*Last question: usually users, after flashing, do a FACTORY RESET of their phones? I know the pressure of Power Button + Volume Down key and a sort of... recovery appear where to choose various options (FACTORY RESET inside). Or maybe, from Settings-->System-->Reset Options--->Erase All?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Factory reset is not needed after clean fw flash. You should if you like to factory reset
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sezari:
Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Naxco:
Hi, someone know how I can charge my phone when is corrupt?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
Rollback protection! Unlock bootloader, relock bootloader to reset rollback index, reflash rom again with newflasher, I have told that don't know how many times in this thread, hope this help

[Sony Cross-Device General] Hippie459MN:
I cant thank you enough for this. It just saved me from a bad super partition flash on my new Sony Xperia 1 iii that caused a boot loop I couldnt get out of.

Also, does this save the log anywhere?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Hippie459MN:
I just deleted the userdata.sin and that was it and my phone is working fine again, but I just flashed the same firmware that was already on there. Had to recover from a boot loop from a super flash gone bad and we couldnt figure out what was causing it. That worked fine here.

What do the other three files control on the phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
I don't know, ask in xperia 1 III forum
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
You need to find proper firmware for your phone model J9210, probably firmware for demo phones, I have no idea where you can download them.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] cubano2031:
I just Change my iphone for a Honor 8 .I have Cricket Wireless, which runs on AT&T towers. The past couple of days I've noticed I'm not getting LTE sometimes (only 4G). This could've been happening longer. I upgraded to Android 7.0/EMUI 5.0 yesterday I contacted Cricket and have done the resets and sim removal. Anyone else experience this problem? Any solution? Before that my iphone always keep my LTE i really like this phone but this problem is piss my off...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Fiasco:
I am using my honor 8 on cricket and I am getting the 4GLTE symbol most of the time. Some areas it dips down to 4G, but that's just how the coverage is. Is it possible that you just didn't notice it on your iPhone before?

Also when I put my SIM card into the Honor 8 I received 2 messages from Cricket. One for data settings & one for MMS settings. I clicked on the link in the messages and the settings were applied, did you get those messages from Cricket?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] agraceful:
4g is lte. Lte is a gimmick name. That's all.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] qvnsq:
Do the speed test, if above 6mbps then youre fine.

Im in some area with low signal right now.

Edit. Add pic.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Fiasco:
Right. Also remember with Cricket you never actually get LTE speeds since they cap at 8Mbps.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Change in signal from 4g to 3g is just because u had low signal reception .
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Why gimmick? It's just another name. Like EDGE to 2G, HSDPA/WCDMA to 3G, and finally LTE to 4G.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] agraceful:
I'm pretty sure you don't understand the meaning of the word gimmick. You literally said what I said. Anyway, this is a non issue.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Just a small thing I noticed after many tests and I wanted to share with you guys(I also tested it with htc10 and it always worked). Usually most of us charge phones when they are turned on for obvious reasons and from my observations the battery life deteriorates with time until it reaches certain point. Yesterday I performed full charge from 6% when the phone was turned off and today the battery life is awesome again (1.50h sot in 20% on 4G!). I do it once a week and it always helps to get me over 7hrs sot. I did that with htc10 and I was getting 5.5hrs regularly so if any of you guys notice lower battery performance you should try it. :D

That 11 hrs must be some calculated extrapolation. I've never been on my phone that much! At least, I don't THINK I have . . .
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks for that. It confirmed what I already thought - T-Mobile only has AWS deployed for LTE here but has two carriers (5x5 and 10x10 I believe) because it isn't contiguous. No band 12 where I live.

And yeah I'm confused about the 11 hours... Was it in airplane mode sitting on the home screen? LOL

This score is after the 1.27 update. I managed to hit 11 hours, but in my defence, I was at my room all day and i have full signal strength. I didn't use any CPU intense application. It was mostly facebook, instagram, XDA app and stuff. But during my work week i always managed to squeeze in 8 hours of SOT.

First time I get such nice screen time. Of course everything depends on what you do with phone and what is the signal strenght.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachyon1986:
I forgot to take screenshots, but I achieved just 4.3 hours of SOT with moderate gaming, YouTube and Chrome. Phone was 11.5 hours off charge. Used Wi-Fi for the most part. Brightness was set to automatic, location services were on the whole day. My signal strength isn't the greatest, around 2-4 bars.

I have no idea how others are getting 5-6 hours of SOT. Can someone please tell if you were using reduced brightness , location services etc?

Not sure what to do, i have tried everything to fix my battery drain except for starting over on a clean ROM. I am wondering if I should try a factory reset on Viper, or do a clean flash of Viper or just RUU back to stock. I know my battery isn't right, my first U11 had amazing battery life and nothing has changed with my second U11 except it is the 6gb model.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
RUU back to stock and see how it runs. Could be something with Viper. I have experienced weird battery drain issues on my 10 with various custom ROMs including a few Viper releases.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
Yes that is what I did, finishing my setup now. I have to make sure everything is restored and installed before I put my sim in on Verizon. I will run stock for a few days see what happens.

Could really use some details on how your phone is setup. I understand from a previous post that you were mostly in your room with full signal strength. Could you please tell me your settings with respect to the below?

1) Location settings (Battery saving/High accuracy?)

2) Location History (On/off?)

3) Screen brightness level (also if automatic was set or not)

4) Stock or Custom ROM

I managed to get around 5 hours and 50 minutes of SOT with battery remaining at 2%. I had to set Location to Battery Saving, Location History off and brightness was around 40%.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ShyamSasi:
1. Location is set to high accuracy but i turn it off when I'm not using. I only turned it on while using the food delivery app

2. Location history is turned on

4. Stock ROM not rooted.

It used to less during the days I work and travel. I think it also depends on the apps that are CPU intense like browsers, games, HD contents on YouTube, HD music etc. Also the battery improved over time after several battery cycles.
