Hi, could you please post short instructions on how to repack?
When I try to repack with FlashTool, it says I need to fill out Device, Branding and Version fields. I fill can out Branding and Version, but Device field is grey!

Oh, thanks a lot! That works. I think I am stupid

can i use this?
Hello
I have a d2203
I have not bought this phone in FR
im from BE
can I do wrong using this firmware?
If i am not mistaken I can do the most damage using the wrong firmware.
I have Xperifirm and have downloaded other firmware 18.4.C.2.12 / R4B
my phone has the 18.4.C.1.26
I rooted my phone and have the USB issue
i know it is the wrong post but
thanks @vinay & @Pandoxyd for already helping out with the USB issue

im unpatient
It wasnt really the correct topic!
I fixed it, I had flashed this ftf and it didnt have LTE
downloaded the correct one with Xperifirm
redid the rooting
now USB'ed
works like a charm

locked bootloader?
Will this work on a Sony xperia e3 with a locked bootloader? Been looking for a solution for ages

There are tutorials for both lte and dualsim versions with locked bootloader in this section "Xperia E3 General"

Downgrade E6653 from MM to LP?

Hello everyone! Seems we're going to get root soon on locked bootloader in lollipop, so we can backup the TA partition before unlocking. The question is, can we downgrade from MM to LP without unlocking the bootloader?

You know how google, do you? You can, download the Firmware and flash it via Flashtool.

Yes, I did google. Saw a couple of post about the Z5P, but I'm comming from motorola and they are a little bit special when it comes to downgrade, because of the bootloader. So I want to be sure because I have almost zero exprecience with sony.
Anyway, no need to be rude. Thanks!

You can downgrade with no problems bootloader locked or not as the above poster said flashtool and xperifirm is your friend. I don't have access to links atm

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. When I bought my Z5 from Vodafone UK, it was running Lollipop 5.1.1 and ran all the apps I wanted flawlessly. Since the update to Marshmallow, ACR and NetVu ObserVer now do not, the developer of ACR cannot work around this so I need to back date the firmware. I have downloaded XperiFirm and Flashtool but can only find 32.0.A.6.200 for EE. I would have preferred the stock Vodafone firmware, but will the EE one do?

any firmware will do as long as those apps work. some branded firmwares have differnt splash screens. thats pretty much the only difference

Thanks for your reply, I'm not bothered about any splash screen but something I noticed is a file named simlock. As EE lock their phones to their network only I take it this file needs omitting?
Regards, John.

No Marshmallow in my XPERIA Z5

Hi,
I just got the new Xperia Z5 from Vodafone. but it has android 5.1.1, I tried using the PC and OTA but still can't find the 6.0 for my device.
Any idea what could be wrong? or is its not released for this one yet.
Xperia z5 e6653

I tried but still not working , probably had to wait until vodafone releases the update with their bloatware.
any other way to update?

Using Xperifirm and flashtool you can download and install an official MM firmware. The process is quite simple and there are many guides on how to do it. Make sure to backup your data in pcc before update.

Sony XA2 Plus H4493 Firmware request 50.1.A.11.40

Hi everyone,
I requesting firmware (ftf) for Sony XA2 Plus H4493 with build number 50.1.A.11.40. I post this thread here because there is no section for XA2 Plus in XDA . And please, I already tried the firmwares from "XPERIASITE.PL" and I DON'T want their firmwares, since they containing errors. Looking for your great support! :good:

Thanks buddy!, appreciate it! :fingers-crossed::good:
But as I said, this firmware from XPERIASITE.PL.. I already flashed it and it caused my device in bootloop. That's why I said dont provide XPERIASITE.PL firmwares. If you have firmware files that BEFORE packing to FTF I think I can pack it correctly because bootloop may be due to incorrect creating of FTF.

I haven't rooted my device and it's still on original condition, locked BL. Just wanted to go previous stock rom. I want system.sin file of firmware of 50.1.A.11.40 Hong Kong firmware. I don't want to root or unlock BL. :victory:

You can extract sin files from FTF using sin extractor or flashtool.
I think you can't back to previous version when the BL is locked, u have security problem. That file work fine with flashtool or emma. Try to use xperia compagnon for repair your phone with New security patch.
Ps : if you have informations of relock BL for this série inform me plz !

Looking for latest Android 11 firmware

Hello,
anyone can please provide a link for the latest Android 11 Europe firmware for Xperia 5 II?
It should be XQ-AS52_58.1.A.5.530_Customized EEA.
XperiFirm currently only provides Android 12.
Thank you.

You are lucky I saved it on telegram before update. You need to combine those files using 7z.

Hi,
thank you, I've got the FTF. Can you please provide some more info about the source of the file? Was it downloaded using XperiFirm without the auto-extract checked? Or did you created the FTF yourself using the Flashtool?

I downloaded it using xperifirm. I don't know if auto-extract was checked. I didn't tamper with it.

But XperiFirm doesn't provide FTF, does it? So have you then bundled it to FTF via Flashtool? Have you included all of the files?
Thank you.

I have manually reverted it from the FTF format, so it can be used with the Newflasher.
