Ok :) the fix is not released or I would have put the version to 0.9.22.2 :)

I wil release soon (tomorrow I think) and here TA restore is working fine (as well as on 0.9.22.1 from flashtool.net)
[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
Yes, it works fine if we are have backup in flashtool's folder. But if we don't have any backup and press restore in flashtool, program freeze and we have this errors.

When i was trying to flash my Z3C with the lastest FTF (D5833_23.5.A.0.570_1289-0407_R5D.ftf) i saw popup with info: "Those data will not be flashed : AUTO-BOOT,OSV-RESTRICTION. Do you want to continue ?"

is this behavior normal or should I be worried?

Can you extract the ftf with winrar ? If yes then do it and create a new bundle with extracted content

How long did it take to flash
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Which release are you using ? you should be on 0.9.22.2 or 0.9.22.1 at least. There is an issue with 0.9.22.0

[Sony Cross-Device General] haruuka:
Hello Guys,

I have a problem with my Xperia Z3 compact. I flashed the sony concept ROM with flashtool v0.9.22.0 and checked the simlock.ta (because of new version of flashtool : before checking meant excluding, now it means including it). Now my phone won't recognize my sim card. I was told I could find the backup in C:\[...]\.flashTool\registeredDevices but mine is just empty... Where could I find it ?

Thank you in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
if you did not make a backup on your own, then you don't have any
[Sony Cross-Device General] haruuka:
Okay thank you for your answer. In that case, have you heard of any solution to solve my problem?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
goiing in a service center to recustomize the phone
[Sony Cross-Device General] gsser:
about 3-4 mins
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
All sorted now thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] istux:
Why doesn't Flashtool make automatically the backup of s1ta anymore? :crying:

In the past it was possible to fix [MENTION=7505228]haruuka[/MENTION] problem with that simple backup.

It was already happened in the past, especially with Concept rom and it was possible to fix.

Without that backup, it's better to avoid to let Flashtool write "simlock.ta"

I've seen people making the same mistake too many times.

Ok anytime you flash your phone is at your own risk, but this thing of "simlock.ta" should be improved and made SAFER.

In this case I think Flashtool is too powerful if it makes the phone unusable and in need of Sony assistance.

This is not a negative feedback, as I find Flashtool an awesome tool :good: but I write tutorials on how-to flash & I make FTF lists and, well, it's always pretty frustrating to see people doing wrong, despite of all the warnings. :(

Thanks for your work though :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Actually i asked myself many times how to behave. I cannot forbid writing simlock ta unit otherwise you could not restore it by including a proper simlock data into a recovery ftf. Maybe showing it and allowing it only in the advanced mode. For the backup i must investigate because i had some issues flashing when doing backups. I will try to reinclude it

So. Flshtools 9.22.2

Drivers isntalled (Flash, Fastboot and Z3)

I start flash tools and recognizes my phone, but when i go to flash i have nothing!!

I have downloaded from XperFirm the Argentine version i want. But it is not a single file, i do not know why but xperifirm open it and gave me that image

Let me show you

Can somebody explain me what am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Now i understand i must creat the FTF file with the flashtools. I did it, but when i starte it said "found a fsc file continue as default fsc?, what is this??

Thanks!

Second Question and Edit, i manage to get up to here http://imageshack.com/a/img921/9961/9yU6aV.jpg

2 Question

1-How do i do a back up of my actual room (trying to avoid the sim lock problem i already read in other thread)

2-Should i Check or not the Simlock?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Masoud.Ser:
hi Androxyde

simlock.ta flashed with rom on xperia z5

but loss Network

I do not have backup ta also Press the unlock code is zero chance

Is there solution?? Like restore backup.ta Another Z5phone on Z5 with loss network??
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
The only solution is repair center. Simlock should not be flashed unless you really know what you do

Sorry to quote you for this two easy question.

1-If i don't tick the Simlock it wont be overwritten right?

2-How do i back up the siml lock just in case? Is it possible to do te back up with flashtools?

Thanks!

PS: If i may give a suggestion, it would be great a post on how to create the file on bundle inside flashtool. If you want i can creat it and send it to you

Edit 2: Did it!!!! total perfect!!! thank you sososososos much!!! firmaware installed, phone working alles gut!!! Danke!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
sorry about this guys ran into a problem making a pre rooted 575 today. Not sure if its prf or flashtool so ill probably post this on both threads. Heres what happened.

1. Downloaded latest firmware with xperfirm, when completed and said it detected xml file i said yes. But i noticed TA files were automatically in it.

2. Created my own ftf from original download excluding all TA in file it then said xml detected but i said no this time

3 Created PRF flashable with 2nd version firmware with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable used twrp and wiped cache and dalvik

Unfortunately ended up in Sony xperia boot picture boot loop.

Im wondering where ive gone wrong been a while since I needed to flash :/

So my questions are

1 Is anything in my steps obviously wrong and cause boot loop that i missed?

2. These xml files used to make ftf essential?

3. Do we need TA files in firmware building now has something changed?

using 9.22.2

Using Z2 device

And experifirm never opens.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16. Could that cause the issue? If so how?

Any help appreciated.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
XperiFirm is a Windows program, it does not work on Linux.

It starts with WINE but it can't get the ROM version for any flavour I tried, let alone download the packages.

Get a virtual machine image, say IE11-W7 for VirtualBox, and do the downloading (XperiFirm), FTF bundling (FlashTool) and pre-rooted creation (PRF Creator) there. ;)

Also, about the other issue, you can just delete the $HOME/.flashtool folder and retry.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Joeisgood99:
I bet the fact that I haven't downloaded wine since upgrading Ubuntu will have a lot to do with my errors!

Your a champ. Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Check the xperifirm forum for xperifirm related issues. You must install Mono framework to run xperifirm under linux

Sorry, I only own an older Xperia M (which FlashTool apparently can't generate .fsc script for it -- tried twice) and a newer Xperia M5 (which I already contributed the .fsc script). Maybe posting a new thread in C4/C5 subforums explaining how to generate the .fsc script would help?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:

I wish some Seniormember can clarify us about this. I bymistakely didn't exclude those TA options but now I am too worried about my phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
First of all, are you sure the ftf is exactly for your phone model?

Have you tried different ftf files? Maybe this one is corrupted.

Sent from my ZenPad using tarator
[Sony Cross-Device General] baddmojo:
The ftf I created was a decrypted fileset from the ORIGINAL files PC Companion downloaded for my phone model. This is also the exact way I did it originally after I first unlocked the BL, which worked without a hiccup.

I've also tried (several times) downloading the corresponding F/W for my model & location using XperiFirm (E6853 AU generic). These separate multiple attempts have only given me the same exact error message(s) with flashtool (regarding the processing of "loader.sin".

I appreciate your reply but I'm stumped :crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Issue with your computer, your cable or worst, your phone.

Does flashing with Xperia Companion work ?

Or your phone is a development phone. In such case, commercial FW cannot be flashed on such phones. They are not signed with the same keys.

The latest flashtool excludes simlock.ta by default, correct? So i can just go ahead and start flashing without a worry bricking my phone right?

[MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] can you please tell me how to flash C4's FTF? Flashtool isn't detecting my FTF and it doesn't have Xperia C4 Dual driver in the driver's folder even though i got the latest version of Flashtool! is there any other program to flash the FTF on my Xperia C4 Dual??
[Sony Cross-Device General] baddmojo:
Hey Androxyde,

I've now also tried the same flash procedure using flashtool on a completely different computer, but it yielded the exact same error message.

To answer your question, I have tried flashing with PC Companion but before starting the actual flash process it notifies me that I'm using a modified device + official firmware updates are unavailable.

Most likely this is a direct result of unlocking my device's bootloader, so it came as no surprise to me that PC companion was unable to help.

My device is by no means a "development phone". It was purchased outright from the Sony store.

--Am I correct assuming that the unique header signature of the newer 'loader.sin' file (inside ftf) must be identical to the existing signature in the device's current f/w or else flashtool will refuse to flash the new firmware?

If this is the case - I'll note that the firmware my device is currently running was generated and flashed under the same conditions as those I've unsuccessfully attempted countless times with this new firmware.

The procedure was as follows:

-I first allowed Sony PC Companion to download the latest (at the time) firmware to my PC,

-Then used flashtool's "fileset decrypt" function with the official "FILESET_????" files downloaded by PC Companion specifically for my device model.

-Flashed the prepared .ftf package to my phone

-Flashed kernel

-Flashed recovery

Is there any possible way to fix the "loader.sin" (and/or whatever else) so I can flash the newer firmware? Or is there any suggestion you can provide to remedy the situation I'm in?

I don't mind completely wiping the device if it comes down to that, as I've got current (full) nandroid backups.

Thanks heaps for the x2 responses, I appreciate any assistance graciously provided.

(P.S I'm sorry for the tardy response, my poor dog was run over and that sadly consumed most of my recent time and concern.)
