Hi guys,
I'm having problem. I would like to build myself a FTF as there's non for generic UK.
But I'm having problem with Flashtool. I use this tutorial to make FTF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355982
I'm already stuck at PART C: Point 3. Nothing comes up in Available files. My path to the files is as followed C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and really nothing at Flashtool come up but there are files inside that folder.
Do you have any idea or other tutorial how to make it ? I need to unlock my bootloader again to have full root ^^

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could find me a good tutorial for converting an FTF into flashable zip for CWM I found something but it creates a massive ~900mb file so I think there's something wrong. I want this for creating an E (1505) rom based off that new 11.3.A.2.33 ftf
Thanks in advance

1) Open the ftf with WinRAR.
2) Extract the system.sin to your desktop.
3) Open flashtool.
4) Click Tools>Sin Editor.
5) Select the system.sin file on your desktop and then click extract data.
6) Wait for the whole process to finish.
7) Download ext2explore and run it in administrator mode.
8) Open the system.ext4 flashtool has created for you.
9) Save the files to your desktop by right clicking on the root of the directory shown.
10) Bundle these files into a flashable .zip (there are plenty of these in the forums).
Sure Will Help

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I can not find any software for your device. All I have managed to find is there is a nitro and canvas version of the e455, do you have the correct firmware for your variant?
Good Luck
Sawdoctor
Yo.. I too can't find any software assistance for my device.. I have only adb sidelog operational.. Nothing else.. Yes, that firmware i have is the only firmware available on Internet for e455 and it will work once i can make my adb work.. Not "adb sidelog" which is already working.. This phone belongs to my friend.. I borrowed it from him for learning developing..
That firmware worked when i deleted micromax(brand) own app store on phone, deleting which phone bwas not loading 'os'.. Again that firmware folder have .bat file which automatically flash every thing once its double clicked..
Right now.. I think this phone have lost adb and fastboot while i was flashing firmware from that .bat file in that folder after double clicking it..
Now this phone have only "STOCK RECOVERY" AND ONLY ADB SIDEOAD IS WORKING THERE..
In my next reply I'll post ss of yhe files i have in that folder..
Read again.. This is the only firmware we have available for this phone on net ..
Okay? I have left 2 options only..
1. Some how flash this files in this folder using adb sideload.. Which i currently cannot becouse of the the error after zipping this folder on flashing i get.. "signature verification failed"
2. Make my adb working.. Phone memory is empty.. I assume.. Haoe to make adb working on this phone?
Yo
No Screenshot is showing when i trying to upload it from phone app (n9005), switching to website on phone.. Will try ro upload them from there ??

link for both 2 photos.. Please read the the tge content carefully.. I've described my problem 100%.. Need help desperately

Hello Everyone!
I am not an expert, but I'd to know, if I can change my actual Firmware "Italian TIM Carrier " to an Official Italian NO Carrier.
It's possibile to follow any guide or link here ?
Actually I have Firmware Nougat 47.0.A.7.137/R15A and i would to updgrade to Oreo 47.1.A.5.51/R2B
If someone could help me, I will thanks in advance.!!
Just download Oreo Italian customized firmware with Xperifirm (you can search for it with Google and download the application). This program would download first the desired firmware and then extract it. Search on xda forum for Newflasher application by munjeni, just download zip and extract it in the same folder where you have downloaded and extracted oreo firmware. Delete all .ta files present in folder and user.sin if you don't want to have corrupted data when turning on your phone after flashing it. Make a backup of your important data and staff present on phone first. Charge your phone completely, when ready, shut it down completely. Hold volume down button and connect phone to pc with his own USB cable. Run newflasher.exe and follow instructions prompted in Windows ms-dos prompt window, it would search for phone and than start flashing. Beware for your PC to not shutting down before is all completed. When flashing is over, turn on your phone and let it setting for a while. If you have any problems can use Sony pc companion application to reset it completely
Good job and pay little attention to what you would do
If not completely sure of what you are going to do just stop and ask. It's better than having a bricked device
Take a look here, that's the guide I followed for flashing my xzp first time :

Good to know it's all fine :laugh:
Um... So, apparently he did not "delete all .ta files present in folder and user.sin", and all went well. So, is it necessary to "delete all .ta files present in folder and user.sin" or not? And if it is, whey are these files even included into the download?

When I flashed my us dual SIM to fr firmware using newflasher, I flashed everything downloaded from xperiafirm I did have to reinstall apps and logins, but umid rather have a fresh start. I flashed to enable the fingerprint scanner

Hi Guys,
Someone please guide me to flash Android Pie on my G8142. I have already downloaded G8142_Customized VN_1309-2181_47.2.A.0.306_R3C firmware via XperiFirm.
Note -
Locked BL
Currently on 47.1.A.16.20
Thanks in advanced.
Hi, frankly speaking, as your BL is blocked you should/can wait only some few days, it should come over the air very soon
Hi, I also have a locked bootloader, and its still locked after flashing the update using newflasher
all I did was download the VN firmware from xpericheck app that is integrated in flashtool application.
then I downloaded newflasher and it was a zip file, I extracted it, copied all files in it and pasted them in the same folder where the firmware files at, then ran newflasher, and thats it
I have Pie.
Did you delete any of the .TA files prior to flashing?
Hi @madshark2009,
can you provide me any guidelines to do it. I'm new to Sony.
@kw0n2k
No,all I did was simply flash using newflasher
@werty733
here is how i did it:
download xperifirm application:
https://softfamous.com/xperifirm-tool/
when you launch it, select Xperia XZ Premium (the dual one)
then you will get a bunch of fimrwares for different regions, simply select the VN region and it should show on the far right "latest update available" with a number of 47.2.A.0.306
download that to an empty folder of your choice
after download completed, download newflasher from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
download v13, you will get a ZIP file, copy all files in the file to the same folder where you downloaded the firmware files.
then simply run newflasher from that folder, press n for the first option, and another n for the second option, then it should start doing the magic, after its done, youre set. hope that helped
@madshark2009 thanks, will try your method and update.
@madshark2009 sorry I meant, the new firmware files that you downloaded with xpirifirm, the .TA files in that. correct me if im wrong, but i thought you had to delete them prior to flashing as it might over ride your DRM keys.
@kw0n2k
I dont think so, because i checked my keys stats and they are all ok, no one answered me that officially so i cant give you a concrete answer but i dont think flashing an update resets your drm, we all have been doing it before, i have done it before on oreo and nougat so yah, but get a more officially approved answer from a dev here better for you not to do anything that could harm your device on my word alone
Cheers mate
@madshark2009 Yeah, I converted my G8142 to G8141 cause I couldnt get VolTE in Australia. From what i read, i was under the assumption that .TA files had to be deleted on the new firmware prior to flashing as to not lose your DRM keys. But if you've done it and everything's fine, happy days! I'll just flash normally without deleting any files from now on.
the good @munjeni have exclu .ta in the script no problem for flash with any problem
@madshark2009, it worked perfectly without any issues. but I'm very disappointed there is no Gestures.
I live in pakistan, i need international Ftf file link. Please provide download link
please provide and also tell me what i need to select in flash tool during flash.
thanks
Still no reply..
S8232 or g8231???
Im confuse here... S8231 OR G8231? SOV35 AND G8231 its the same phone right?
xperifirm & effort
It's quite simple, you have to edit the firmware.xml file from the download folder in your flasher before packing the .ftf . I don't know what .ftf you need but if you have flashtool with xperifirm plugin you should be able to select your customization of the oem rom of your choice. Edit the file (firmware.xml) while you have xperifirm open in your rom downloads folder, change the tagged info where the model written is 8321 to SOV35. Then close xperifirm and the .ftf will bundle as SOV35 instead of 8321. When you flash the phone the system firmware itself will write/update the phone to 8321. You might get an error or two, flashing it again right after should get rid of those. Make sure you know how to create the partition folder with the right contents for XZ and later models. A bit late, let me know if you still have it and are successful.
