[Sony Cross-Device General] ZeGuido:
Ok, I finally manage to unlock my X10i. I think the main problem came from some busybox odd install from previous (more than one present on the phone, may be not in correct location). I tried to uninstall busybox with the installer I downloaded from the market, and this made my phone enter in a slow loop behaviour : Sim not recognized, SD not detected, system crash and reboot after 2 minutes. I had to flash a generic ROM to recover using FlashTool on Windows (at that point I had given up FT on Linux). Then I could root, install xRecovery and Busybox from FlashTool. Unock BL (easy) and this time s1tool detected the phone without problem.

For Linux version of FlashTool :

Back to Linux FlashTool detect the phone (it always did) can trigger reboot with xRecovery. I haven't tried any more flashing at that point. If I do, I'll make a report with log.

From what I read, I don't thing the udev rule was the matter, the one provided on flashtool main page seems to work with uBuntu and FlashTool, and obviously openjdk-6 is ok.

Concerning xRecovery. I can only trigger a boot into xRecovery from flashtool (either Linux or Windows). It won't work from the rebbot option on the Android ROM I use (achotjan at the moment). I also tried to boot into xRecovery using the cam button (if I remember well, as I can't find any solution in the forum) and it won't work.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

I've tried the latest release, the 5.xx release and the one that comes with fxp103 but it just doesn't flash, it will say begin flashing but then it just sits there. I installed the drivers from the latest release's drivers folder and have also tried the Gordon's gate drivers from previous releases. Can you tell me if/how I can remove drivers to start over if I have to? Its weird I've used this tool on 3 other PC's and never had a problem.

Can SEUS flash your phone ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sebring57:
Du tres bon travail.

Merci beaucoup

Very good work.

Thank you very much
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAYCE_VII:
Apparently NO it cannot! It asks me to plug my phone in flashmode and then just sits there as if i hadn't plugged it in at all.

EDIT: FIXED IT! Apparently the freaking problem was that i can't use the USB ports on the front of my tower and I have to use the ones on the back...

anyway, thanks for the help Androxyde! much appreciated.

Report for linux edition

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 daily (alpha) release and some features may not be stable as the previous editions.

I tried flashtool 0.6.700 and it does not work on my laptop... The program closes right before the I flash. It also won't recognise my X10 :(

The error log is attached, can you tell me where the problem lies?

Thanks! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] JayJ-1974:
Been a little out of the loop with my X10i since getting my S2, just downloaded Flashtool 0.6.7.0 but it won't install on my PC?

I get this message...

Is this because my PC is only a 32bit Operating System??
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Where are you trying to install it to ? try disabling your antivirus before installing it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] JayJ-1974:
Thanks for the reply Androxyde.

I downloaded it and then double clicked it to run but got the above message, I then tried "Run as Administrator" but got the same message.

I did what you suggested but now I get this message...

Now going to download Flashtool for the 3rd time in two days, any ideas??

You must first generate sin files using this guide :

Once you have all sin files, put them in a folder and usr the flashtool Bundle creator to build a ftf file ready to be flashed with the flashtool

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
If you want to share your ftf bundle with others, just upload it to multiupload and give me the link, I will put it in the list of available bundles in the first post of this trhead :-)

"Optimize" or "Clean uninstalled" in 0.25 bricks u20i. I can not confirm which functionality causes it because I do not want to brick it again.

I guess Optimize does it.

Someone may check it with the risk to have to reflash its phone (using seus or the flashtool would do it ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Clean uninstalled from the Advanced menu only does an adb uninstall on all apk that have been removed with the Clean (root needed) button. The adb uninstall cannot uninstall apps that cannot be (not done with root privileges and /system/app cannot be removed with this command). Probably the Optimize so ... the JIT v2 is confirmed working with X10 devices. Don't know about the others
[Sony Cross-Device General] Snoopo:
Yeah than it's propably "Optimize". I reported both because I ran both and then rebooted the device.

Then it hangs at the first eppaearence of the white "Sony Ericsson" logo.

I needed to reflash it and now I am not cool enough to try it again 8-x

So, any instructions on how to make the linux version works in mac osx? I'm running lion, with the jdk installed. THe os recognizes my phone, but the flashtool does not. I installed libusb through brew and my JAVA_HOME is also set and I also wrote the udev line in both /etc/udev and /usr/local/udev and it is still not working. Any chances it will ever work with mac?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
I have a macOS in a VMware. I will try to do something. Can you tell me how to install libusb ? (I am too lazy to search for web ressources about that :-P)
[Sony Cross-Device General] p0ft:
You could install it by brew or macports (both are package managers for mac, that installs package in /usr/local) or you could download the lib and compile it manually http://www.libusb.org/ a simple ./configure;make;make install; will do!

Thanks for your help :D

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Unlock plugin will appear if and only if :

kernel version is 2.6.29 or 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

android version contains 2.1 or 2.2 or 2.3

rom is rooted

device is X10 or E10 or E15 orU20

If at least one of the above conditions is not true, then the plugin will not appear in the plugin menu.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jianlinooi:
after unlock flash any kernel also can for unlock BL?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
You unlock BL once, it is unlocked forever. Then you can install whatever you want as kernel.

Just take care if you choose one day to relock your BL, if you relock it with a uncompatible kernel installed, you will not be able to unlock anymore.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jianlinooi:
after unlock..flash rom via wat?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
You flash kernel using flashtool (usual ftf flashing) and you flash rom using recovery. But check OP of each custom roms, it is explained usually

how to get into cwm5? press what button?
[Sony Cross-Device General] 9Lukas5:
that's kernel dependent, not flashtool. --> wrong thead.

But for doomkernel, there is the following:

when the blue led lights up, press

- menu -> bootmanager

- back -> xrecovery ( not anymore used in any rom)

- vol up -> doommodded cwm5 touch-edition

- vol down -> normal cwm5

And for FXP:

when bootlogo appears press vol down for cwm5

[Sony Cross-Device General] _smurf:
Hi I had the same problem (deb wheezy).

This helped me:

- make sure you are on sunjava

update-alternatives --config java

- open terminal, go to Flashtool folder and try this:

export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:/bin/java::")
./FlashTool

- if you get something like "usb permission denied" try it as root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jianlinooi:
every kernel isit the same? press vol down for cwm5？
[Sony Cross-Device General] iggy:
Installed latest version but when I try to drag and drop ftf file it does not all it and that is all I do not have a packaged version for the kernel folder.

Forgot to mention, I am currently on Oodie's MiUi Prime X with Oodie FXP Kernel and using Win7 64bit.

I added a CLI feature. Look at ft.bat. The release will have more options in command line

Thanks, though I have no idea what is CLI.

Btw, do you plan to make installable recovery for E10, E15 & U20?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
CLI is Command Line, meaning, no Graphical interface

Does recovery install the same way as for X10 ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
I gues Yes, it's just a modified xRecovery (the same as you have in v 0.2.9.1).

In 0.2.9.1 there was an option to install xrec on x8, x10 mini/pro.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
There are many workaround to be able to download.

rapid8 and JDownloader using a free proxy are two of them.

Now DL speed is not an issue and if you are too hurry, just get a premium account. For download to complete, it is mandatory to desactivate your antivirus (as I said on homepage). Otherwise, DL will be broken and you will have to wait for a new DL slot again. So antivirus desactivation is really important.

He has to flash the stock 2.3.3 with flashtool and after that the relock bl v1 that comes with flashtool. That's not a plugin, it's a ftf bundle so he has to press the flash button and choosr ot out from the list there.

[Sony Cross-Device General] 9andar:
Perhaps, it's not FT to reinstall but your X10's usb drivers...

I don't think so. Because all another functions is working (install fw, make root, install recovery...). In FT log - it's all ok. In PC device manager - ok (Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver).
[Sony Cross-Device General] 9andar:
The FT site's FAQ mentionned :

Plugins will appear in the plugin menu if and only if all plugin requirements are met.

Here are requirements for BL Unlock plugin :

kernelversions=2.6.29,2.6.29-00054-g5f01537

androidversions=2.1,2.2,2.3

needroot=true

compatibledevices=X10,E10,E15,U20

If at least one of these criteria is not met, plugin will not be added to the Plugins menu

In your case i think it may be the kernel... so reinstall the stock one, unlock the bl et reinstall another one...

blob one=66KB

flashtool's one=99KB

Am I doing something wrong, or flashtool simply require modified loader.sin, than the one from blob folder?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
The loader included with flashtool is the official one. The loader for unlocked BL is a modified one

If the one you get when decrypting is different from the one from flashtool, then your loader is wrong (and that is why you get the processing header error)
