I can't flash the latest rom using flashtool(7.1.1, ver.199) - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Hello. I already unlocked my phone and tried to flash the latest rom. But I failed and the flashtool showed this message.
No flash script found.
- INFO - Flash script is mandatory
I thought the ftf file was wrong so I redownloaded rom file using xperifirm and created ftf but I failed again.
I think the flashtool has to be updated. Am I right? I desperately flash the latest rom... but I lost my TA so I can't use pc companion..

....you must put the Script, wich you can find in the device folder manually in the registered devices and mydevices folder.....

Rename the flash script into 41 instead of 39.fsc before you flash the 7.1.1 firmware under mydevices folder f8332.

Let me try it!

[Q] .ftf and .zip firmwares

Check the contents of the zip file, if it contains a .ftf file inside it you have to extract and use flashtool to flash it.
If it contains an updater-script then its probably a recovery flashable file, which means it won't work using flash tool.
If you rename and try, you most probably will get an error from the flashtool.
But i doubt its possible to brick your phone that way though

[REQUEST] Z3 Lollipop System dump

Hi guys . Can any of you who have received Lollipop extract the system dump for us ? It will aid developing and will make everyone happy
Thank You
There are loads of ways of getting this without anyone uploading it.
Just download it from any of the FTF's already shared, or use XperiaFirm or Flashtool to download it straight from the Sony servers yourself.

If I get a chance to upload it, but the common sense thing to do is for you to get ext2explore to work if you have already downloaded the FTF.
How are you converting the system.sin to system.ext4?

Download it using flashtool.
Look in the decrypted folder of the firmware folder, you will see a system.sin
Use flashtool to to dump it as a ext4 and then open it
That's all I did

for Repack files after edit to system.ext4 and after Then system.sin What I do?
You cannot edit and repacj into a ftf file. You need to use the prfcreator to create a prerooted flashable zip file to flash in recovery

It's a better way than just renaming ftf to zip but his problem is that Flashtool doesn't work on his PC
@Chronoxl, You can try to convert it with an Android Kitchen tool like "Assayyed kitchen" from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ch...-android-roms-editor-assayyedkitchen-t3410545
I use it to convert elf boot to img but not tried to convert the whole firmware, it works for others Xperia.

did u erase vendor, product too ??
if u did- u need huawei update extractor which is mentioned in above link(I personally didn't try this tool - so can't comment on that)
i don't have same model number but this following method works most probably if u haven't messed so much or didn't clear vendor or product
extract one of the large file which u downloaded(probably around 1.5gigs) and place d extracted files in 'dload' folder on sd card
hold 3 buttons at a same time- may be it starts installing
@shashank1320 could guide u in more exact direction.
@sreekantt Thanks for tag.
So @BakedOnSomeSour you have already downloaded 3 files. Now, extract all 3 separately and see which all contains update.app file (mostly it will be in 1st and 2nd zip file)
Now, use dload method given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
Extract the 1st file, put the content in dload folder, flash.
extract 2nd file, put the content in dload folder, flash.
If, 3rd file contains the update.app, extract and flash this also.
hope this will be solved.
