I think I have a way to get the FSC. Do the following:

1. Update your main flashtools (C:\Flashtool) to new version 0.9.19.0. Once done, Reinstall old Flashtool 0.9.18.6 in another folder, for example, C:\Flashtool2

2. Download and install Simple USB Logger.

3. Open USB logger & click on the blank paper (first icon in the toolbar). Now minimize it (DON'T CLOSE). Open OLD flashtools 0.9.18.6 from the C:\Flashtool2 folder. Now choose flash, and choose an FTF for your device.

4. Flash it like normal to your device (turn it off, connect with Vol- pressed, etc). Wait until it finishes.

5. When finished, disconnect your device, and check that it has more or less 39 thousand records. Depends on your model. Now, click in the disquette icon (4th in the toolbar) to save the log in your desktop.

6. Close old flashtools and Simple USB logger, it's not needed anymore. Now open new 0.9.19.0 flashtools, and under Advanced tab choose USB log parser. In USB Log File, choose the .tms file generated by Simple USB Logger. Now, under Source folder, you MUST have a decrypted set of FILESET_, or a uncompressed FTF. This simply means: Go and grab the FTF you flashed before, open it with winrar or 7zip and uncompress the files to a folder in desktop (preferably called decrypted). Now choose that folder in the program.

7. Once done, click on parse. Your FSC should be now generated to C:\Users\<your-user-name>\.flashTool\mydevices\<your-device-finished-with-an-X>. In my case, it's C:\Users\linux\.flashTool\mydevices\D230X.

And I think that's it!!

However, I must say there are some lines I don't understand in the FSC I generated. There are lot's of uploadImage:Not identified. Is it ok or is it going to mess up? I mean, the main uploadImage are there... Please have a look, the FSC is attached. I used a 18.3.1.C.1.17 Custom Italia for D2303, [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]. Thanks.

Using emma worked like a charm, see #2610

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Flashtool script. A script that tells flashtool what to flash in which order
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Simple USB Logger is only for windows. It works fine in a VM.

The idea is the following :

1 - Do a repair using PCCompagnon. When PCC asks if you want to let your phone connected while downloading, answer no.

2 - Now run Simple USB Logger and start a new session. Let it wait

3 - When PCC asks to plug the phone, do it. Simple USB Logger will start logging.

4 - Once done, unplug the phone and save the log.

Now you have the log file.

In the same folder as the log file, put the FILE_XXXX flashed by PCC (in C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs. To be sure to identifie them, I advice you to delete any FILE_XXXX files before doing the repair with PCC. It will redownload the FILES)

Run Flashtool and use the decrypt feature to decrypt FILES ... They will be decrypted in a decrypted folder.

Now you can use the USB log parser to generate the fsc script.

Flashtool searches for fsc in this order : (example for C6903)

C6903_FWVERSION.fsc. If not found, will search for C6903.fsc. If not found, will search for default.fsc

I made an ftf or my XT Z4 using version 0.9.18.6.0. When I try to flash that using 0.9.19.0 I get this error message:

Is there anyway to salvage this ftf without having to download the firmware all over again?

E4g

Hi!

Has anyone made experiences with the latest version of flashtool and E4g? Actually my device is not recognized by the device files on git (The signature is E2033).

Besides before flashing the latest firmware (25.0.B.2.14) I wanted to check it will be working by hotbooting some kernel. But any sin file extracted from that firmware (downloaded via pc companion) I use to hotboot, I get an error, kernel address not lie in memory.

Can someone help me?

Best regards

Chris
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
put all sin you want in one folder and create bundle from that folder. But I cannot say it will flash correctly :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
I added the E2033 to devices list
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
You do not have to rebundle when using the new version. Aren't you running out of free space ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pinoquio:
Nice!

Do you have any idea why I got the error hotbooting?

Another issue on my new Laptop the layout, e.g. of the flash dialog is somewhat messed up. The buttons displayed only partly and it is impossible to resize. I'm using it on a 13.3" full-hd display using a font scaling of 150%. I can provide images if you want.

Hi Sir [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] Please add fsc for Xperia C4 Dual (E5333). I really need to flash firmware :'(
[Sony Cross-Device General] najoor:
No, I wasn't running out of free hard drive space. The problem is that Some of these files do not get flashed unless I un-check the b2b and/or cahche items under wipe. Even for those that it flashes with all four items checked, it gives a warning in the middle like this: "This file will not be flashed: b2b.sin". Does that sound ok?
[Sony Cross-Device General] SirRobin78:
Thank you for new flashtool! but i´ve to say that it seems that flashing comes more complicated with newer devices...why is FSC needed on newer devices? Sony changes so many things?
[Sony Cross-Device General] TimeTurn:
Got the known error " You must have the according fsc script to flash this device." here with my Xperia Z Ultra. It's running the GPe port of scrubber, maybe that's the reason for this false message. Flashtool 0.9.18.5 flashes the firmware right now to the same device.

Would be a good idea to let the user choose to flash or not.

UPDATE: Won't flash even if the device is on an earlier stock Z Ultra ROM (C6833). In my case: 14.3.A.0.757

.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
This is not an error. The latest release will not work as far as we don't have the script for the device. This is mandatory. The download home page says which device is recognized. In all the other cases, stay with the previous release.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
No idea about the hotbooting
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
fsc is generated from a PCC session logging. So the flashing workflow is exactly the same as PCC does once the fsc is generated.

It is not complicated and fsc is not for end user. BUT I must own the device to be able to generate the according fsc that's why I need help to generate it for all devices. it will take time but one day all devices will be compatible :) for all older devices, FT 0.9.18 works fine

[Sony Cross-Device General] Hamidreza2010:
Ok thanks but 2 question:

My phone is m2 aqua ( d2403) it wasnt work that yeah?

and does need do create new fsc script for each new fw release for us?
[Sony Cross-Device General] linuxct:
I think it's valid, because, AFAIK, the firmware is the same, it includes the same files (comparing a .17 ftf from and aqua and a d2303)...

And my guess is yes, but imagine we want to flash a Jelly Bean older firmware and PCcompanion/Emma doesn't let us do that. How can we manage to get a FSC for those older firmwares? [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
If the file set is the same, there are big chances for fsc to be the same too

When generating fsc script, the parser creates a file with the version in the name.

But Flashtool searches fsc in this order :

VARIANT_FW_VER_NUMBER.fsc (one for a specific variant + specific version), VARIANT.fsc (one for the specific variant of a model), default.fsc (default one for all variants of a model)

For example for D2403, in case you want to flash 18.3.1.C.0.21, flashtool will search for :

D2403_18.3.1.C.0.21.fsc. If not found, will search for D2403.fsc. if not found will search for default.fsc. All in devices/D24XX folder. (or mydevices/D24XX if fsc is not on official repository)

default one could be enough but in some cases, I had some changes from one version to another, or a change that applied only to one version. That's why I give the ability to have a script specific for a version

So if fileset is the same, you can try renaming your fsc to default.fsc. There are big chances for it to work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] linuxct:
I have a question, I generated a fsc for my D2303 as you saw, but, I am only able to flash through Emma or pccompanion the latest version of the firmware available. So, in case I wanted to flash a Jelly Bean firmware, can I use OLD flashtools to capture the session log? Or is there anyway to force pccompanion update to a selected firmware? Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Rename your fsc to default.fsc and try to flash your jelly bean FTF after having toggled the Simulate checkbox. If you don't see any errors in the log then it will work to flash jelly bean

Hi, the latest version (apparently) - 0.9.19.0 is not compatible with Sony Concept UI FTF, while version 0.9.18.6 flashed this firmware withou issue. The new version during flashing skips certain partitions (mainly system and data) with "will not be flashed" in log.

[Sony Cross-Device General] QBerto:
and u can read the post u're answering? if u're tired of anwsering the same question just keep ur fingers afk, or even better learn to read

Also, .19.0 says valid with Z3c, so why is not working?

Flashtool also can't "detect" Z3+ wich worries me, I leave the city in two days and can't stay w/o phone xD
