[Sony Cross-Device General] bigrammy:
A little help and advice needed.

Hi,

I would like to test this awesome NewFlasher tool.

I have a Sony Xperia L1 (MediaTek mt6737 SoC) which is bootloader Unlocked SIM Free (Not tied to any carrier).

I have downloaded the latest firmware release and would like to update the entire firmware without making any dumb mistakes :silly:

Here is a list of everything contained within the extracted XperiFirm download. (G3311_Customized UK_1307-8067_43.0.A.7.55_R7A )

I confess that I do not really understand just what all the .ta's actually do and if they all get flashed when using Xperia PC Companion Tool.

Clearly I do not want to get accidentally SIM locked or blocked from rolling back if that's avoidable and most of all get Bricked :laugh:

So a little guidance on what to remove would be VERY VERY much appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Many Thanks. :highfive:

EDIT: Here is the link to FSC used in FlashTool for the Sony L1 G33XX 43.0. FSC and maybe helpful or not.

Obviously I accept full responsibility when flashing my devices and realise flashing this device may well be experimental and untested using Newflasher which is why I want to test it but as said above I don't want to make any silly errors from the outset. I have no idea what all the opening and closing of ta is about and what info is been wrote to the ta during these updates.

I am using BBQLinux (Arch) 64bit BTW incase this has any bearing.

Maybe [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] could shine a little light on things for me. :fingers-crossed:
