Shield on Flashtool shortcut

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to remove the blue/orange shield that appears bottom-right of the Flashtool Desktop shortcut? I'm running Windows 10. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
The overlay that shows that FlashTool needs Administrator rights? Nope, no way.

Been a long while since I have used this tool. Many updates has passed.:good:

I just don't want to mess-up the Marshmallow update of my daughter's bootloader-unlocked Xperia M4 aqua(dual-sim E2353).

So, just to follow-up on the past question quoted above. In the latest Flashtool 0.9.22.3 version, do we just leave "UN-TICKED" the cust-reset.ta, auto-boot.ta, fota-reset.ta, and osv-restriction.ta? TIA

Hi,

Can some one confirm how to create a ftf file for xperifirm 5.0?

i have the unpacked file sets and all i need to do is to select the folder to create the ftf right?

but what about the boot folder? it does not seem like it's included when creating the ftf file. and the last time i included it in, it bricked my phone.

i used to let flashtool decrypt the files and then when the popup windows appear, i included everything and it works fine.the new process of creating ftf file with xperifirm 5.0 is not very clear. would appreciate if any one here can help.

Many thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] leap_ahead:
anyone can explain what is apps_log, diag, qnovo on the wipe list ???/
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
Just let FlashTool do the work, press the XperiFirm button, get that ROM you want, exit XperiFirm and FlashTool should just start bundling all you need all by itself.

I've a strange problem: I've downloaded an xperia j (st26i) firmware with xperifirm and everything was fine. I can open the generated ftf with winrar and there are sin files for each partition inside it. But when I open the firmware selector to flash, I don't get any firmware on the list to choose to flash. The directory is correct. The device is connected and recognized. There are no errors in Stderr.txt and all drivers are installed. The ftf is not corrupt. Also, in the folder there is one ftf copied by flash tool while installation (x10 relock) and it also isn't listed in the firmware selector. I can't drag and drop the ftf to flash tool, because I just get a "no entry" icon on the cursor when I try to drop it. Any solution, please?

[Sony Cross-Device General] ch3mn3y:
[MENTION=4602846]DzikBagienny[/MENTION]

Try downloading/creating .ftf again.

When creating .ftf for newer devices should I include .ta files or they are unneeded?

I'd read some guide long time ago and when was creating ftfs for older Xperias (2011, 2012), have never added it to bundle.

But not sure if there is something needed for safe flash?

[Sony Cross-Device General] IgorEisberg:
It's not a new format actually. It seems that both Java and C# have an issue I'm investigating: only 524256 bytes are being read even if you give it a higher number (which is the case with Nougat SIN files, it's just much larger than previous SINs, but it's exactly the same format).

I'll find a solution for it and hopefully Androxyde will implement it as well.

Hello all, so I'm having this issue with my brand new Xperia X. It's unlocked, bootloader included, and I was hoping for root. The only roms that are on MM have a different CDA. The strange thing is that I can't flash anything that has a different CDA than the customized CH..... Flashtool seems to be working cause I was able to update the rom using the original cda.

Can anyone help me with this flashing issue? Did I do something wrong or is there a box I should tick before flashing? It acts like it's flashing but it "successfully" completes the flash in under 2 seconds.....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arturiuz!:
have you tried ticking the boxes under 'wipe'?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sebi673:
It's not my first root, it's just awfully twisted. Anyway, flashtool was useless. I used two laptops to try and flash something on it. Anyway I used EMMA for base fw, then rooted, made a zip with the latest rootable and flashed with flashfire.... It was a piece of work
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mastiff:
I come from Samsungs, and rooting the Sony Xperia X Performance is a totally new beast for me! But I need to downgrade first to backup the TA files since it upgraded itself automatically when I started it. I didn't see that I said yes to that, I had an eye operation recently, so I don't read very well these days... :o But my priblem is this: I have the latest version of the tool, and I have tried both on a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 computer, and I still get the same error:

I have tried just about everything. Several different ROMs, factory reset of the phone with only USB debugging and unknown sources activated and so on, and so on. But one thing that may be the problem: When I installed the drivers for the phone from the Flashtool-directory, I could only tick the first two boxes. There was no device specific driver for the X Performance (or any X as far as I could see). Can that be it? On the other hand serajr, who's done his best to help me, has down- and upgraded his Performance on the same setup, so I have no idea why it's not working for me. Maybe some of you know what I'm doing wrong here?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Beetle84:
Select all the wipe options in flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mastiff:
I have selected all but the TA, those I have selected in exclude, and I thought I only should select them there because selcting wipe in Flashtool would wipe DRM keys and stuff like that, which I'm downgrading to backup. So should I also select them in wipe?
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
The log says "flash script is mandatory" right before it closes the session.

You will need to include the FSC script.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mastiff:
Beetle84, thanks! I will try to include the TA files in the wipe and see what happens.

Shoey63, thanks! I was specifically told by the user who had done this process before not to use he FSC script. I have asked him the reason for this, maybe it's something special for the Performance?

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Well, only including TA files in wipe did not do the trick. I think I'll wait until I hear back from the user who said not to use the FSC script before I try that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Beetle84:
I meant all except TA
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mastiff:
Oh, OK. Then that's what I've tried all along. Until now I have wiped everything but TA and excluded only TA. I just worded this badly. I tried just now by including the TA files in the wipe as well, but that did not change anything, the "only" was refering to trying that solution but not the one with using an FSC script. Can you think of why the other user said not to use that script when downgrading from N to MM?

FSC scripts cause flashtool to throw harmless errors if certain files are not found, particularly on older devices. This spooked a lot of users into saying not to use it. If it says it is mandatory, you must include it. I have done so on Xperia X - no issues.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mastiff:
Shoey63, thanks! I managed to get to MM by saying yes to the FSC script. The phone booted without problems after that, with a brand new, Polish ROM. Luckily I remembered just about where to click on the different screens, since I don't speak a word Polish! :D So now I just need to do a TA backup and then get it to N with a rooted firmware built on the Norwegian Telenor ROM. I hope I can manage that without too much trouble.

Try to use SEUS or PPC to do an update, this will make sure that the proper registry keys are written.

You do not have to do an update, just make sure that SEUS sees that you already have the latest software/or says it's time to update.

Just installing it is not enough.
