Hello i have z5 Japs version SOV32 when i try to flash stock SOV32 always ended error flashing oem.sin but when flashing global rom into SOV32 there's no problem flashing oem.sin,

And i didn't get update to nougat when using original stock rom, is that caused by oem.sin error while flashing?
[Sony Cross-Device General] churchner420:
Got a big problem right here: I got an XA2 last week and tried Lineage 16 on it but now I returned to stock and I can't get bootloader relocked again. Flashtool says 'Your device cannot be relocked'.... Why??? That feature always worked for me during the last years... Could anyone please help me?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ch3mn3y:
Newer bootloader my be different and unsupported by this Flashtool feature.

And why do You need to relock it? You won;t gain anything I believe - SafetyNet will be still broken and DRM keys are lost forever.
[Sony Cross-Device General] churchner420:
I don't care about the DRM keys all I would like to have back is the official update support from Sony. Got an idea how to get it without relocking the bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DHGE:
change has come to locking

Since mid 2015 the bootloaders can only be relocked by restoring a backup of the device specific TA.img.

You could backup TA exploiting a security flaw in the kernel that came with Android Marshmallow.

Since mid 2016 SONY devices come with Nougat, later Oreo ....

"Official" software support from SONY is gone with unlocked bootloader. You will have to manually load newer releases (ftf files) and flash them via Flashtool.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
There are no any other ways to achieve so other than relocking your bootloader.

If flashtool fails to relock it, you may try using cmd "fastboot oem lock".
[Sony Cross-Device General] memphis77:
I have a question regarding Update via flashtool.

If I remeber right, then there is a way to keep data, root and unlocked bootloader. But I forgot what to exclude. Anyone an idea? If it's not possible to keep root after flashing no problem. I can get it back. The important point is keeping data.

Thx in advance!

[Sony Cross-Device General] DHGE:
Just flash.

The data partition won't be touched unless you explicitly check "wipe" .
[Sony Cross-Device General] ch3mn3y:
Uncheck everything in Wipe section and it will be like updating.

Root will be lost as it is system ad kernel modification.

Latest Version 0.9.25.0 is not working with new Firmwarefiles, for example Sony Xperia XZ3s Firmware file with Android 9.0 Pie.

When i try to load .sin from Firmware 52.0.A.3.27 the tool point out ERROR - This sin version is not yet supported.

[Sony Cross-Device General] pluckhurst:
I'm trying to change the firmware on my XZ1 Compact (G8441) from Vodafone UK 47.1.A.12.270 to Customised UK 47.1.A.16.20 as it's now network unlocked and I don't want to be tied to the Vodafone updates. I'm using Flashtool Version 0.9.25.0 on Linux Mint 18.3. I've successfully downloaded the firmware and I am now at the firmware selector screen - see the attached screenshot - and want to be 100% sure I'm going to select the correct options before I start the flash.

1. Should I be selecting all the checkboxes in the 'Wipe Sin' list with the possible exception of 'USERDATA'?

2. I was expecting to see a greyed out 'SIMLOCK' entry in the 'Wipe Misc TA' list. Can I assume that won't be touched as it's not in the list?

3. Is there anything in the 'Exclude' lists that I need to select?

Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Klaus N.:
1. Yes (check everything in the "Wipe" sectrion but "Userdata", if you want to keep your apps, settings and so on)

2. To be on the save side, switch to "simple": File > Switch Simple. And if you see "Switch Pro" (but not "Switch Simple"), you're already good to go.

3. You can keep all checkboxes empty in the "Exclude" section (For me it worked with the XZ2 device)

[Sony Cross-Device General] Geoffxx:
XZ2 Premium want to flash SG Customised as HK is very slow with updates, will there be any issues if I want to keep user data, I have noticed some advising to do a total wipe but I would like to avoid that

So can I go ahead with 100% confidence, have the latest Flashtool already installed

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
No problem, I used to deal with slow update from HK the same way as you do.
[Sony Cross-Device General] NexusGTS:
Can you post here the flash script so i can flash my xz2 premium?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Geoffxx:
so is flashtool and experifirm now integrated, all I do is connect phone and the process is near enough automatic, I don't want to brick my expensive XZ2 P by doing something stupid

are there any files I need to delete etc or is that old news in previous versions
[Sony Cross-Device General] Geoffxx:
so I got this working to a point, I renamed the H81XX fsc file to H8166_52.0.A.3.84.fsc but it stops the flash at varying points depending on connecting phone and running the flash, sometime it says script file not found and if I run again it just sits there

Tried renaming the flashscript file to 8166.fsc still not working - no script file

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

giving up for now, might start the whole thing from scratch as I had a powercut when downloading the xperifirm files - it continued after reboot but you never know, but still getting the script file error regardless, I have renamed it to many things but still get the error
[Sony Cross-Device General] Geoffxx:
So I got this to run eventually using the H81XX 51.1.fsc and renaming it 52.0.fsc - a lot of errors and warnings and the flashing failed, next I am thinking of trying the FSC file for the XZ2 52.0.fsc but I am a little worried about that, would be helpful if the author of flashtool kept the scripts up to date as new FW is released, a lot of hard work for it to be rendered useless for new FW - just saying
[Sony Cross-Device General] mbc07:
Dude, just stop whining. FlashTool is a free and open-source software maintained mostly by Androxyde itself. You want a proper .fsc script for your device? Then, instead of complaining and complaining, go take a backup of your phone's data and record a USB log while doing a software repair through Xperia Companion (there's a step by step guide on how to do that in FlashTool's website, which I assume you didn't bother to visit), then parse that USB log using the built-in function in FlashTool to get a fresh .fsc compatible with the new firmware and share it with other users, even better, open a Pull Request in FlashTool's Device Database repository on GitHub so it can be integrated on the official database and everyone can use it.

Those scripts are created based on communication done between the phone and official Sony software during firmware restores/updates, demanding the maintainers of FlashTool to always have updated scripts ready whenever a new major firmware version is released for every supported Xperia phone (taking into account you need a physical device to record the USB log) is a bit too much, don't you think? -- just saying ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Geoffxx:
I do understand what you say and I was trying not to be too critical of the of the developers who put hours and hours of work in to help others, I ended up using the other "newflash tool" and ended up in a bootloop, Xxeria companion was able to repair and get my phone working again but only after wiping all my data, I do have backup but it doesn't restore everything I need, my previous Phone a Z1 was rooted and I could pretty much backup everything various ways, but this new phone is not rooted and provides limited options, I should have waited for the OTA but I wanted to load my phone with a different region FW so I went ahead, some of this was my fault for not getting into folders and transferring some stuff were possible to my external SD Card but those options are limited

anyway I am were I am and cannot do much about it

It seems 0.9.26.0 brought Xperia 1 support. Problem is that in J81XX folder is fsc file for XZ2 and in J91XX are 2 fscs - XZ2 one and 1 one, but the latter has wrong name for Flashtool to use it by default.

Mac requirements?

What are the system requirements for the Mac version? I downloaded the current version 0.9.28.0 from the flashtool.net website (via Uploaded.to link) and the .dmg disk image doesn't open on my Mac. Error: "No mountable file systems"

My Mac is running OS X 10.11 El Capitan. So I had it extracted on another Mac running 10.13 High Sierra. The disk image mounted there and the app could be copied over to my Mac. But the app doesn't launch. I bounces a few times in the dock and then just quits without any message. Edit: it leaves a crash report in the system log. I can attach it if that helps.

Strangely, even though the disk image is labeled as 0.9.28, the version on the app inside is 0.9.10, see screenshot. Whats happening? Did the wrong app get packed in the download?

[Sony Cross-Device General] rregn:
where is the homepage

is this the homepage: http://www.flashtool.net

or this: https://sonymobileflasher.com/

on the first site there seems a newer version (0.9.28.0), it redirects to uploaded.to, but chrome blocks the download "harmful software" !
[Sony Cross-Device General] 7alvoo:
The link on the first page: http://www.flashtool.net

9.28 didn't work for me, but 9.25 worked well, here is a list of changes and a link to 9.25

https://devfiles.co/download/CVT3xADX/flashtool-0.9.25.0-windows.exe

* 0.9.28.0

Updated JDK to 13.0.1

Updated libusb to 1.0.23 for Linux and MacOS

Updated usblogparser to be more accurate

Compatibility with Xperia 5

* 0.9.27.0

Updated internal libraries

* 0.9.26.0

Support for XZ3 and X1

Updated JDK to JDK 13 and switched to OpenJDK on all platforms

Updated to latest Eclipse platform

* 0.9.25.0

FTF created with very old releases of Flashtool are not compatible with the new version.

I've heard flashtool not beeing compatible with old devices

Thats not true. It's just the bundle that is not shown.

As a workaround, extract the bundle content to a folder.

If the bundle contains a boot folder, rename sinb and tab files to sin and ta.

Recreate the bundle with the new Flashtool

Update for XZ2 and XA2 series. For XA2 or XZ2 flashing

You will have to recreate the FTF with the release 0.9.25.0 of Flashtool if you already had a FTF

Updated all libraries to latest version

Updated Java to 10.0.1
[Sony Cross-Device General] lipanz:
i would like to know is there any flashtool available for sony walkmans (A100 and ZX500) ? they are using android 9 builds. update files acquired from sony website has .UPG extension.

This is a sample of the latest firmware for it. https://info.update.sony.net/PP002/MusicCenterForPcSSL/contents/0007/musiccenter_setup_2.2.0.exe

it's great to see if we can flash the firmware using some tools like the flashtool.

[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
I would also like help from the developer to get Xperia 1 II (XQ-AT51) support.

I have used a phone on Firmware 58.0.A.0.1040-R7A with Customization 1321-8375 (O2 Pay monthly UK), along with Xperia Companion repair, Simple USB Logger and FlashTool 0.9.28.0 USB log parser, to generate the attached .fsc script.

I have also tried to create a .properties file for the XQ-AT51, but I cannot get other downloaded firmwares to appear in the Firmware Selector window. What are the other steps that are needed to add a new phone to the Devices List/Firmware Selector?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] dreamville:
need this too
[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
Got it working and successfully flashed another customization on the Xperia 1 II!

In addition to the .fsc above I used the attached .properties file and put these both in a new folder in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\mydevices\XQ_AT51

Before it would appear in the Firmware Selector I think I had to go to Devices->Manage->Import (I'm not sure but think this is what got it working!)

Maybe the developer can put these in the github database in a proper manner!

EDIT 20200625: removed the references to the Japanese phones from the .properties file in case that causes any issues
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gigio755:
Please, is there the possibility to see the support also for the XQ-AT52 version? thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] dreamville:

[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
Some people are noticing on the Xperia 1 II that immediately after flashing with this setup the phone shows up with 128GB of storage instead of 256GB (I did not notice this, but apparently it can be fixed with Xperia Companion repair). We also notice that the flashing process goes remarkably quickly. Would any of the FlashTool developers be able to look at these issues to see what is going on and if it is a problem?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] mbc07:
The flash script very likely was created from the USB log of a 128 GB Xperia 1 II device. Doing a factory reset through the phone after it was flashed with FlashTool should fix that (at least that's how it works on the older Xperia X, where the dual SIM variant has 64 GB of storage compared to the 32 GB of the single SIM variant)...
[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
This is not the case. I created the USB log and flash script myself on a 256 GB Xperia 1 II XQ-AT51. I did not notice the issue myself though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
You need to chose right sin for Repartition:0 , e.g. partition-image-LUN0_124936192_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin is for 128 gb or partition-image-LUN0_249896960_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin for 256 gb. If you flashed partition-image-LUN0_249896960_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin and you have 128 gb instead of 256 gb its in most case sony bug.
[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
Yes, well the .fsc file I generated has:

Repartition:0:partition-image-LUN0_249896960_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin

so it is correctly saying to use a 256 GB partition then. Then there must be a bug somewhere else.
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
You didn't had bug? If no than I'm believing those users who reported bug have flashed 128 version on their 256 device. One thing about 58.0.fsc , I think better idea is having two, one for 128 device and one for 256 device e.g. 58.0.256.fsc & 58.0.128.fsc , I didn't analysed flashtool and can't say if flashtool have implemented autodetection for right partition image and also can't say what will happen if somebody flash their 128 device with 256 partition0, will it brick their device?
[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
No, I didn't have the bug, though I never checked the storage at first. My phone did crash on first boot but after hat it has been running fine without a software repair. When I checked it has the 256Gb storage as expected.

The .fsc and .properties I posted will work only for the XQ-AT51 which is 256GB storage only. Users with the other variants should create their own .fsc and .properties.
[Sony Cross-Device General] brocnical:
I note that the Torrent links for FlashTool at flashtool.net are showing only for version 0.9.26.0 instead of the latest 0.9.28.0. The links for the uploaded.to download for Linux are also broken. Please could you fix.

Hi mates:

I've downgrade my cousin's SONY XPERIA X (F5121) to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow from 8.0.0 Oreo to be able to make a backup of the TA partition, but I've a few questions:

I used to the process, a German customized version because is the only one that I've found to this purpose, but We're from Spain, is there any problem with this? I don't know if in these countrys, the frequencies used for 2G/3G/4G are the same or are different, because after the downgrade, the coverage is worse than before using the Oreo stock rom.

Other question, when I used the program, at the WIPE section, I didin't select the PERSIST and NOQ(I don't remember well the name of thist last option), the "problems" with the coverage can be related with this??

Xperia 5 ii Support?

Hi, thanks for this tool. I am a new Sony xperia 5 ii owner and noticed xperia 1 ii support was recently added.

Are there plans to add Xperia 5 ii support? I'd create the fsc file per these instructions but my Xperia 5 ii will not repair using the xperia companion app. It's not bricked (Still loads android, only camera and call sound don't work) but I can't for the life of me fix it.

It has been parsing for over 30 minutes, not yet saw a sign of success. My .tms file is about 1.62GB, Is this a normal size?
