Don't include .ta files. What you mean by "after creating..."? If you meant situation when you install your ftf file then it's up to you if you want to wipe something or not. It's good practice to start clean table but if you want to keep you data it's not necessary to wipe anything in stock firmware update. And lastly don't exlude anything when (except .ta files if you make your ftf with those) updating firmware.
[Sony Cross-Device General] amey2606:
Ok, thanks bro.

So, the .ta files are not to be included while creating the ftf in any case, while updating or reflashing, right.?

Thanks again.

can't start Flashtool

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a n00b question but I installed Flashtool on a Windows 8.1 x64 computer, I try to run it with either x86 or x64 .exe's but nothing happens.

Tried compatibility mode, also tried it on another computer (same software), same result (it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Flashtool).

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dzepar:
I think it should be in C:\\(here) in order to work, try uninstaling and reinstall.

[Sony Cross-Device General] daffy2:
Broken FTF generation / bundle creation

There seems to be a defect when it comes to generating a bundle (FTF).

The process to create the file will silently fail without any diagnostics if the "Branding" or "Version" fields in the GUI contain some specific characters.

Example: There is a firmware on the Sony servers for the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 which has the following info

Branding: VMo_FR/DE/AT/CH/BE/NL/PL

Version: 23.0.1.A.4.30

Using this information - e.g. via "Check Updates" - results in total silent failure.

The root cause seems to be the following line in https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/blob/master/src/flashsystem/Bundle.java

File ftf = new File(OS.getWorkDir()+"/firmwares/"+_device+"_"+_version+"_"+_branding+".ftf");

Here, the data for _version and _branding (and _device) is taken unsanitized for the target file system (in my case: Windows, but all other OS have the same challenge). This is a recipe for the disaster.

Most likely, a file name should be constructed explicitly first, and then some whitelisting on characters should be applied. Example: Remove all characters except [azAZ09-_\.] (note the escaped period at the end of the regex). This should be safe for all file systems involved, at the cost of losing some characters in the process ;)

Alternatively, simply mandate that user explicitly construct a valid file name.

Remark: Somewhere deep down there, there is some kind of error handling problem. That problem must have resulted in some kind of error code or exception, and something must have "silenced" that. This is not Best Practice.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
You can try to create a new local windows admin account and run Flashtool connected to this account. If it runs, then you really have an issue with your proxy configuration, check it then for each browser you have installed.

Can't start the newest version

Hey everyone,

i got a Problem with the newest Version of Flashtool.

Fyi: Last summer i owned a Z1, Flashtool worked flawlessly there.

Got a Z1c last week, redownloaded the newest flashtool and installed it. Installed the Drivers and moved my .ftf (actually only kernels for the root method) to C:\Flashtool\firmwares.

Upon start-up, FLashtool gave me the Message :

Please move C:\Flashtool\firmwares Content to C:\Users\*****\.flashTool\firmwares

So i moved my two .ftf files to the Folder, pressed okay on the notice. Nothing happend.

Restarted flashtool, same message. Restarted, same message. Reinstalled, same message. Always checked if i copied all to the right Folder.

Maybe a noob erroe, but found nothing what so all on the Internet.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Edit: Just saw two post above the Linux guy with the same error. Copying the files and pressing okay did not solve the issue for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] schickel:

any idea?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RohitBopnna:
When he says move, do not copy and paste but Cut and paste into the new location and it works.

the old locations need to be empty. or Worked for me after i copied the files to the new location i renamed the folders to C:\Flashtool\firmwares.old

I had this error for 2 folders C:\Flashtool\firmwares and C:\Flashtool\custom\mydevices for both the folders chance the folder name to ".old" and it worked

But why was this change made, it was much easier to backup just one folder, now i have remember to backup the .flashTool folder as well

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Ok I see many users having issues with moving firmwares and mydevices content to [User Home]/.flashool

When I say move, its move, not copy. The firmwares and mydevices folder HAVE to be empty or better, non existent.

Now to reply to guys saying why I do this now I have to save more places., I will say no. The only folder to save is the .flashtool folder where all user files go.

Why I did this ? User files place is user home, not app folder. It is better too in a multi user env. Now two instances of Flashtool in two different user profiles will be able to work together (not flash but at least create bundles, root and all other features except flash).

And when upgrading under linux or MacOS you can now absolutely safely remove Flashtool app folder without loosing anything.

There should be option to change .flashTool path.

Many thanks for your wonderful tool.

[Sony Cross-Device General] harfot:
That is fine for Linux\Mc but for Windows it's an awful place and not even in a normal backup area - Documents could have been used but best make it a setup choice. As now it gives a damned lot of jumping around.
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
I think that this should be a question while installing Flashtool, and by default put the files in to the user files, but you still could change that location. If my windows is ****ed up by a virus or any other bad thing, then I could loose my firmware files, so i preffer to use another disk unit than the C: one.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
I have always used an external drive for my firmwares.

Yes when you create one you have to move it or if the C drive but you have always been able to browse to where you keep FTFs and flash then then from wherever you have them stored in your computer.

A choice of the default user folder on installation would be a nice extra feature, but it is not essentials to me as it takes 3 seconds to browse to where i keep them and flash them from there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dnzdeniz:
I don't know why but i can't find "TA" in excluding list.

hi, i want to ask a question. i wonder if any mobile tool for flashing xperia roms from our xperia devices? we have mobile odin when using samsung galaxy s2...
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
your question is like "cross branding devices". Flashtool is for Sony Phones, and ODIN is just for Samsung phones. As they are a different devices/brands, then each one needs a different software to flash roms.

the diferences that I see, is that odin needs a whole room, to flash, but still you could flash just one part of the rom (kernel, modem, rom, etc.). And flashtool flashes one file at once, but you can create that one file with the contents that you want (kernel only, modem only, rom only, etc). But both these software makes the same function.

As I can't understand your question, I can tell you that there is no crossed brand devices that flash different kind of phones.

(the rest of you, save your answer :D)
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
No, there is no mobile software to flash ftf's on Sony devices. Only through computer.
