[Sony Cross-Device General] T-junk:
I have the same weird issue, and I did look for the 0.9.19.7 full package zip file as im on windows. Sony PC Comp did download the update completely and I have extracted and created custom FTF files before.

When I need to give Flashtool the path to my blob files i do point towards it, but it doesn't see any files to be decrypted. Basicly the same problem hamidkamrani did post earlier.

This is firmware 23.4.A.1.200 for the Xperia Z2 Tab SGP511 in my case. Can you enlighten us on what to do, or maybe we should have patience and wait for 0.9.20.x?

-edit- : After having a word with Androxyde he could tell me that Sony is now putting the encrypted firmware files inside ../localstorage as earlier it was inside ../blob_fs (This only goes for windows)
[Sony Cross-Device General] HEZAiKU:
Do i need to install java before using this Flashtool?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
No

You need to wait for update, i think tommorow will be update, if Androxyde have time for it.

What is the content of your FTF ?? What options did you check / uncheck on FTF selector screen ??

Hi guys I want to create a ftf on flashtool but flashtool can't sync devices on github and device selector is empty and I can't create ftf file please help me

Cannot sync devices.
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
In Flashtool, if you want to download a new ROM, you have to start the process by clicking the XF icon on the upper bar. XperiFirm will be automatically started. You select the ROM you want, leave the auto unpack checkbox ticked. When it finishes its job, closed it. Flashtool will resume its job, culminating with the creation of the ftf file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Doctorx31:
I already downloaded files from xperifrim and I must do create bundles in

Flashtool I could do it once but now I can't do it cannot sync devices and I can't select my device from list because list is empty

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Looks like there is only partition-image in your FTF. what is the content ? what did you include / exclude ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Java installed on system is completely useless as only the one bundled with Flashtool will be used. For your issue, its like some files are missing in your installation. Redownload (the full 0.9.19.7 package + 0.9.19.8 patch) and reinstall it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Apply the 0.9.19.8 patch it will solve your issue :)

Hi Everybody,

I`ve a problem with my Xperia Z Ultra (C6802).

I`ve done a mistake while I`m installing the stock 5.1.1 Prerooted firmware. I`ve pressed the " Reboot System" option wrongly after doing full wipe in TWRP recovery.. Now My device won`t boot at all. Everytime its hangs with the Sony logo. I`ve tried several times. I`ve tried to flash KK stock ftf (.290), the latest 5.1.1 stock ftf by using Flashtool (v. 0.9.19.7).

I`ve tried to install TWRP, PHILZ recovery through Fastboot command and dual Recovery. But everytime it fails.

Whenever I tried to flash ftf files through flashtool, it always hangs .

This is the log file:

Please help me to get rid off this issue. I can`t use the device. Please help me.

BTW, I`m using Windows 7 PC with all the driver Installed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Same here
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Did you try on another USB port ? with another cable ? on another computer ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Yeah I have,I know flashtool is easy to use but for some reason it won't let me flash anything
[Sony Cross-Device General] Micheal86:
Thank you so much for your quick reply.

Yes. But I do`nt know why flashtool doesn`t work for me.

Previously, it failed , when I was trying to unlock the bootloader. then I`ve to go for sony`s official method for doing the same. This time also it fails.

I`ve all the (both KK and L) nandroid backups (TWRP) in my device.

Is there any alternative option to solve the issue ?

I`ve tried sony`s official Flashtool (Emma), but it doesn`t support the device(C6802). It supports C6833 only.

Would you be please kindly enough to help me to solve the problem ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Did you tried older version of Flashtool (9.18.6)?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Micheal86:
thanks for reply.

No. I`ve not tried yet.

Should I try ?

BTW, would you please guide me to install flashtool properly ?

I`ve installed FT in C drive of PC. But there is no such folder , called firmware , in which I should copy the ftf file. the folder called firmware exists in another folder called ".flashtool " in C:\User\my name. there are another 3 folders, named device, registerred devices, my devices and a properties file , named config.properties. It makes me a little bit confused. Is it normal or i`ve done any mistake while installing FT ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
I have and still no luck
[Sony Cross-Device General] Micheal86:
I`ve tried now after fresh installation of Flashtool (0.9.19.8).

But it fails again. This is the stderr.log file.( though I don`t know whether it helps to solve the issue or not).

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
yes it looses the connection with you phone

Phone issue or Computer issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Two possible issues, driver problem (try flashtool from other computer or even Linux) or corrupted bootloader - in this case nothing else than Sony service can help.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Micheal86:
Thanks for your reply.

But for your kind information , I had the same issue while I was trying to unlock the bootloader by using Flashtool. It always failed. Then I`ve to go for sony`s official method to do the same. Then also Flashtool didn`t work for me.

And for Sony Service, I went there. They offered the latest Stock firmware ( i.e 5.1.1). they denied to install stock KK. I`ve read somewhere in XDA that after upgrading from KK to L officially, there will be no option to downgrade from L to KK ( though I don`t know whether it is true or not). Is there any way to downgrade from officially 5.1.1 to stock KK ? And I don`t like L at all. That`s why I didn`t agree.

Would you please guide me to what should I do ?

EDIT : DONE. PROBLEM SOLVED.

(Just change the USB cable and problem solved).

Many , many thanks to all the mates for helping me a lot. Really you are awesome. Thanks To my beloved XDA.

BTW, Now the android version is 4.3. Should I root it and install recovery ?

Can I restore my previous Nandroid backup again after rooting and installing recovery ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Which version of Flashtool did you use
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Whether to root it or not is definitely up to you... there is no good advice. Root it if you want to have it rooted.... If you want Xposed and many other mods, you simply need root AND recovery. The nandroid backup compatibility depends on which version of nandroid backups you have. If it is the same android version, then no problem for apps+dat, if different android version, I would install apps clean and just try to restore data. Definitely /data/media (internal sdcard) is ok to restore as long as you restore to proper location..
[Sony Cross-Device General] ric69:

Hi please help me

I have got an Xperia Z1s running on lollipop Rooted

i tried to change the LCD Density followiong the steps in this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428830

but ones i clicked on Reboot my phon is only showing me the sony logo then a black screen then it reboot again and again and again.......

i tried to flash the phone with flashtool using the same ftf file (lollipop ftf 14.5.B.0.236)

but it's saying that the flash is aborted

[IMG="Flashtool Error"]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/749366Sanstitre.png[/IMG]

please help me what can i do to solve this problem!!! :crying::crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
Not sure if you have tried more than once, but whenever I've gotten that error, I restart PC and FT, and try again and it works.

Also, I see 'device: unknown'. I've had trouble with FT when I have custom ROM/kernel installed. Usually, I'll flash a stock-based zip through recovery, then start phone and check 'USB debugging' and 'unknown sources', then power off and retry. FT does better with stock.
[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
[MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION], new bug :)

Your new option: make auto bundle if xperifirm not decrypt files

When ftf file is ready, we not have "boot" folder at all and boot_delivery.xml inside.

Fix it, please )
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
i tried restating the pc more then ones and it didn't work

i installerd Flashtool in another PC and i got the same problem!! :(

and for checking USB debugging and Unknown Source i can't do that because i can't start my phone any more, he just keep rebooting again and again

please if you got a solution give me a step by step guide because i'm not professional in this lool

and thank you for your help :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
Do you have recovery? If so, what I was saying is that you should download a flashable zip stock-based ROM, (there are several in Z1 forum), and flash it. Then you could boot, and check debugging, etc., then reflash your ROM with FT. If you don't have recovery, you probably could flash it with fastboot, or try NUTs installer here - http://nut.xperia-files.com/ I think, since your FT log is showing 'device unknown', that it's having a problem with the ROM or kernel. You could try just plugging it in with FT open and you might get a popup asking you to identify the device, then try to flash again. If you're getting the Sony logo, you're probably going to be fine, it will just take a little trial, etc..
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
No i don't have recovry :(

i pluged the device with FT open but i didn't get any popup asking me to identify the device :/

and excuse me i don't understantd how to use the NUTs installer you told me about please explain i will be very thankfull :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
It may not work if the phone won't stay on, but it's quick to try. Download the installer for your device, (not flashable - there's 2 different options), extract the file and run it on PC, follow directions.

Is your bl unlocked? If so fastboot is your friend. You'll need adb package and phone drivers installed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
I think that i already succefully unlocked the bootloader :D

so yeah Fasboot is my friend lool

can you walk me through how to solve my problem please :) ;)

and oh i forgot to tell you the NUTs installer didnt work it didn't detect that my device was plugged in
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
Install adb - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

Install drivers - look in your Flashtool 'drivers' folder for installer.

Start with that and let me know...
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
Ok i'll do it and i'll let you know thank you :D

is it possible to have a live chat with you that will help a lot?

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

It's Done I installed the ADB you gave me in that link

and the drivers are already installed

Waiting fo you :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] levone1:
Now you're need to confirm fastboot working. Open command prompt and type 'fastboot', and you should get an output of command options. If not, you need to find what directory on your PC the adb files are in and use 'cd' command to get there in command prompt. Then connect your phone in fastboot mode, (power off, hold volume up), and type 'fastboot devices' to see if you get device recognition. If all goes good, you just need to download a couple of files.

(Also, I guess we're pretty off-topic at this point, so get back to me in private msg)

i just want to know what was wrong where was the problem

would you please explain to me I'd really like to learn ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Do you place this in firmware folder
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
No you go to Flashtool directory

For me it's : C:\Flashtool

that's the default directory

Then you copy past the x10flasher.jar you downloaded and overwrite the existing one

That's all you're done ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Then hopefully flashtool will actually work as nothing will flash atm
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
For me that worked and flashtool Flashed my Z1s Correctly

And now I'm enjoying my Z1s :laugh::D

are you having the same issue like me?
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Yeah nothing will flash atm so do I replace the x10 folder?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zzmoubarek:
There is no folder there is a file named x10flasher.jar

here i'll show you how :

Here is the file you downloaded

Here is the flashtool directory i was talking about :

Now Copy the file you downloaded in that directory and replace the existing one :

That's all you're done

now Start Flashtool en enjoy flashing ;)

let me know if you succeed :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:

Sorry for the late. It`s unintended.

Problem solved by using Flashtool V.0.9.19.8.

Has your problem been solved ? (hope it is solved).
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Which version of Flashtool are you using ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Yes looks like a driver issue

Install PC Compagnon and do a first repair with PCC. See if it works. Then retry with Flashtool
