[TOOL] [UPDATE 21/12/2016] Flashtool version 0.9.23.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac

Hi,

I will take the lead on releases of this tool as Bin4ry will have less time to work on it.

For all flashtool informations (download links, changelog, screenshot gallery, FAQ, Firmwares repository) go to the Flashtool Homepage

Flashtool sources are on github : Androxyde repositories

WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.

I WANT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION ABOUT THE LATEST BRANCH 0.9.19. Without FSC, the tool will by default include simlock.ta if this file is present in the FTF. The result will be a bricked phone

As a workaround, until I release a patch, please please tick the exlude simlock.ta if you see it in the list.

0.9.19.6 fixes the simlock.ta issue. This file is by default excluded. Then it will not be flashed until you explicitely untick the exlcude simlock box. Do it at your own risk.

Regards

Androxyde

I downloaded it fine. Though in my attempt at flashing the multi-touch I clicked "customize" and "optimize" first and now my phone won't boot. it just sticks at the Sony Ericsson screen. I am on the 2.2 FreeX10.... did I do summut wrong? :(

Nothing wrong with the files. Virus scanners sometimes are a pain in the behind.

It seems I've got the phone rooted now. Just going to check it. Now, of to find a good rom

edit: I thought it was rooted, but it doesn't seem so. :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] CoopZor:
Probably the most stupid question you read in a week, but i cant find it.

Haw can i plug my device in flash mode ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] setaseti:
dont know if it is right, but earlier to get into the flashmode u have to shutdown your device.

keep it off for a few seconds.

hold down the back button, and connect the usb cable. keep on holding the back button.

the notification led has to get green, and the it shoudl be in flash mode.

dont know if it is right at this time :)

just try.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CoopZor:
nope, does not work, phone reboots like normal.

Please help...
[Sony Cross-Device General] im_iceman:
I have a question.. After I have connected my phone in flashmode and connected it to the flash tool..it's switching the phone back on then when I try to flash the DualTouch it says it's done it.. but then when I reboot and try it.. it doesn't register 2 touches.. so what's wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] SaintyUK:
Did you try a multi touch tester app from the market?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funkyto:
Turn off the phone and remove it from the usb cabel, after that press the back button, and connect it to the usb, you'll see green light and you have few seconds to connect it to the flashtool.

Did you install the drivers in the drivers directory?

Yes it but it has some strangeness, but in apps it works fine, i tested in gangstar mv, and angry birds and will now test it in some fps's like nova modern combat and brothers in arms 2. In the browser it doesn't work, in opera mini - works.
[Sony Cross-Device General] johnred3:
The content of Dualtouch folder go to inside the "Firmwares/my-firmware/" folder?

So...

Should then replace the file "Kernel.sin" and add to that same folder (firmware / my-firmware) file "content.properties" into original folder firmware?

This is correct?

Hi,

sorry for late response but from where do you get that rom files?

the files provided on this thread are JUST for X10`s not mini, minis pro, etc...

you must find your sin files on right thread or by decripting files from this flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] pbezza:
This is exactly what I have been doing. The process is simple yet it doesn't work for me. I reinstalled java but still no change.

and if i have to flash, can i install the multitouch firmware as add-on?

to do this, which files i must put in firmware folder??

when i say "as add-on" i say that my phone still have all that i have now but

with multitouch support

Sorry but my english and thanks!

Sure i´m doing something wrong.

The dualtouch tft file is a kernel.sin file and a folder Meta-inf with the file manifest inside.

I take this file and the folder, copy into firmware folder of flashtool, open flashtool, click on flash and the windows where i must select the firmware is empty.

I must copy too the firmware tft?? (230 mbs aprox) or other files???

remember that i try only to add on the multitouch thing, dont reflash all phone.

well, thanks again
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crowds:
If you`re trying to install ONLY DT then download just that file from tools thread.

and copy ftf like the image

flashtool > firmware

of course you will have the DT ftf instead like my image;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crowds:
see images attached...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Clode:
yes, yes, i note that, i´m really stupid....jeje

i dont get it yet...

i got installed my 2.1 rom without mt capability (i think) i has installed from 3 months. can i "add" the mt in this rom?

I must reflash with a rom with mt capability and then the multitouch itself?

If i flash with "X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch.ftf" (that while i cant find it)

all my things installed remaing?

Really sorry for all that questions, i´m a litlle slow. Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crowds:
yes you can add dt only just download that file.

if you flash with X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch.ftf you will loose everything. yet if you do a backup with titanium backup you can reinstall all apps.

note that this dt just work on some apps. not every ones (blame SE for that)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Clode:
ok thats my question.... which are "that file" and where must i put??

Is X10_1.0_Bin4ry_Dualtouch.ftf ??

and then when i flash with this file only got the add-on really?

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crowds:
iiiiiyyyyyeeeeessssss

:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Clode:
but Good......i cant find this file...i find de zip one, and inside has

kernel.sin, Meta an manifest. Not the tft...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crowds:
if you have a sin file read 3rd post.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Clode:
ok i will try later, and have other question the

X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch.ftf has spanish lenguage?

im thinking about a clean install.

Hi, i´m back with more questions.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
you have an issue with the network transport. VersionChecker only does http request to github.
[Sony Cross-Device General] yacloo:
what you mean is this related to debian or flashtool

I can access to github from browser or wget cli I can send ping

edit:

if I use flashtool v9.11.0 it informs me there is new version of flashtool available ı don't think it isn't debian related
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
strange. I have no issue on ubuntu 12.04

[Sony Cross-Device General] ZACHARiAS_:
if you already have the drivers installed no problem. if not, you need to disable driver verification, afaik.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kapil.git:
You may not be having fastboot / flash drivers for your phone..Depending on your device the solution will change.

inside installation directory "C:/flashtool" there is a folder driver.. inside that there is one more installer "intall-driver" or something.

Run that your phone's driver should come then.

I have an issue With My Xperia Z

two scenes, work and home.

Work: Win8 Pro 64 bits, FlashTool 0.9.11, with driver package included on that version.

Home: Win7 Ultimate 64bits, FlashTool 0.9.13 with driver package from 0.9.13.

Things are that at home (win7 64), flashtool says that I'm connected with USB debugging OFF, and it stays like that.

At work (win8 pro 64), when i connect my XZ at first FT says that I'm on USB debugging off, but after a second it says that I'm on usb debugging ON, ad check my root and averything is OK.

Why at home I can't get my device recognized like USB debugging ON?, even I changed drivers from the 0.9.11 version, and it still says that it is debugging OFF, and then installed FT 0.9.11 and it still says that it's off.

any clue? :eek:

[Sony Cross-Device General] hansip87:
Just wondering. why can't Flashtool push the superuser library after flashing ftf? Would be great if such method can be achieved. Rather than waiting too long for any workaround for each firmware. Such method will save a lot of time.. :/ But that's just my n00bie view X) Please CMIIW..
[Sony Cross-Device General] draganz:
it not worked bro! There are no this type of USB ports in my computer & other computers. that solution only for USB eXtensible ports only. So need drivers update.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mewthree1:
First, install the device drivers from flash tool. Once it is installed, open flash tool and pick a kernel to flash to your device and then plug your phone into flash mode. Go to device manager and find the USB root hub that your phone is connected to and uninstall that USB root hub drivers, your computer should now detect your device and start flashing the kernel.

The "device not recognized"issue is for sure not a device driver issue

My config :

Z1 : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

ZL : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

V : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

S : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

Arc S : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

On the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible controller (Microsoft drivers version) :

Z1 : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

ZL : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

V : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

S : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

Arc S : not recognized in flashmode, not recognized in fastboot mode.

On the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible controller (Intel drivers version) :

Z1 : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

ZL : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

V : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

S : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

Arc S : recognized in flashmode, recognized in fastboot mode.

But when onthe intel drivers version of the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible controller, devices are not recognized inside a VM on vmware when presented to the VM (linux VM)

So ... sony drivers issue or windows USB implementation issue and controller drivers issue ? I don't know but to my opinion it doesn't look like a sony drivers issue

Hi

To clarify :

Every distro come with libusb package. None with libusbx.

I modded the libsubx project makefile to create libusbx instead of libusb to not conflicting with libusb packages installed in all distros. Normally LD_LIBRARY_PATH in FT launcher points to where i put libusbx prebuilt inside FT tree. For some reasons i dont know it doesnt work for some distros and works for some others ...

I managed to copy the OTA - it's format is a bin file --> SO-05D_9.1.C.103_NTTdocomo.bin
