No, there is. I don't think this phone has a recovery partition.

create FTF file from pc companion update files?? (marshmallow)

Hello to all
anyone tried to convert the pc companion files to FTF using flash tools for future installation?
I'm trying to follow this guide:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
I have the update files from pcc:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I go to Tools > Bundles > FILESET Decrypt and select the files, then press convert!
However flash tools just stuck on decryption forever
how much time does it take to create a FTF file?

I have the same problem but I'm lazy to search for a solution, try the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Have you tried to just download directly from the X1 icon, then select the one you want. then download it and right at the completion of the download it will automatically create the FTF file which you can just flash, from the flash menu. This was what I did with no issues, although I must say it took a real long time at the system phase with the progress bar all way across

It sounds that flash tool only works with xperiafirm files!
Well, I didn't tried that because I'm on a limited data traffic plan here and I don't want to re-download 2.36 GB

If you want to repack nb0 image:
edit files "list" of unpacked nb0 image, remove .md5 file from list.
Not guarantee moded packed nb0 will work - OST may give an error. Some images work some require md5. Depending from mlf content.
05.04.18 v3.4
-fixed long filenames in nokia firmware
-added repacking (may not working for new images for OST 3.1.4 with md5 check permanent)
27.01.18 v3
-added unpacking for nokia firmwares
-supporting images up to 6 gb

Thank you for the tool. Took a lot of searching to find this topic for v2.
Unfortunately Nokia has changed something in the .nb0 format and the extracting fails mid process.

Hello.

Tried with v2, but receive that arithmetic error.
Can you help me?

Packing back is now in development. OST is using special table now for different files, so not 100% packing is ok.
But you dont need it! You can flash in OST by selecting of unpacked .mlf file

Yes, thanks, tried that, working.
I need now to figure a way to change the system.img, cause the md5 check is ruining that for me.
The version of firmware i have for okia 6 ta-1003 have no .mlf file, and if i try to take just the system.img file from it and put in ta-1000 extracted firmware(same hardware, different android customisation, 1000 is for china) i get a md5 error.
If i manually update the size and md5 checksum in md5 file, also crashed.
A bit offtopic here, but anyway, thanks for the tool, is very helpfull

@heineken78, Still have arthimetric error, and the password for emmc zip file is WLBGFIH123 if you care to add. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue, how did you fix it?

just wait for it to flash, it took around 5 minutes for me, when you see that is not responding just click on app and it will update unpacking status.

I found a scatter file after extracting. can I simply extract .nb0 file and flash with sp flash tools or there is something additional needed before flashing the extracted content through sp flash tools?

@heineken,
can you check nokia 3.1 nb0 file, looks like they changed something, again ...
ES2-042E-0-00WW-B02
b.r.

Whenever I try to unpack the NB0 (Nokia 7 plus TA-1046) file using the NB0 tool v3.4, it always gives me an error (see screenshot) and if I click on "Continue", it gets stuck in halfway.

@heineken I am trying to unpack the Nokia 2.1 firmware (nb0) and the tool is only able to read the first 2 files. Do you have any idea and can we expect an update to the tool?

@singhnsk
for E2M-021Q-0-00WW-B02.nb0 you can use nb0-utils.exe or nb0-utils.jar
regards

Help with extracting boot.img from dmz file

Hi all.
I followed this guide
Guide LG G8/G8x/v50 Bootloader Unlock and Magisk Root using Firehose
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any problems from using this guide. Works for G8, G8s, G8x, and v50 Confirmed working on G8 and v50 Requirements: Android 10 QFIL...
forum.xda-developers.com
have been rooted for few months now. Received the OTA notification and did my research on how to apply it. Unfortunately I can't restore factory images in magisk as there is no stock backup found. I read somewhere that You can find the missing file and put it in manually. To do this I need to find and download official firmware file that the phone is running and extract it from there.
mine is here:
LG V500EM | LG V50 ThinQ 5G | Version: V500EM20g_00_0120 | Firmware for Region: EEE from UNITED KINGDOM - Lg-firmwares.com
LG V500EM Download the latest version of firmware | OS Version: Android 10 Q | Firmware version: V500EM20g_00_0120 | EEE - Fan club LG-firmwares
lg-firmwares.com
Now this is where I start facing issues. I got the right kdz file. Extracted the dz file. But by no means I cant get boot.img out of it.
Any help would be great and much appreciated.

What prevents you from extracting the image

It just won't work.
I found a guide and used
LG Firmware Extract Tool v1.2.6.1​The file is there but cant be extracted
this the output of the program:
Progress extractDZFlle Done !!

DZ file C:\Users\dirt\Desktop\LG_Firmware_Extract_v1.2.6.1\LG_Firmware_Extract_v1.2.6.1\V50020m00EEOGBOP0120.dz
Could the program be outdated and LG have changed their way of packing their firmware? Is there any other way to get it out?

The same thing happens to me when I try to do this. All I get are some vendor .img files and the same 'exception error'. The kdz I used is like 4.2gb, the dz file output is 155mb.
I think the firmware extract program is too dated for these phones, it was used for the G2. This sucks

Hmm maybe the file is corrupt, try finding a new source or downloading it.

Actually the KDZ file is not corrupt but the software you are using to extract does not work with new LG firmwares files (since they use version 3 compression). You need to use Linux for extraction.
I could help you in getting the boot.img if you tell me which specific firmware you are seeking from.

EDIT: My issue was that i was running .bat and storing file on newtwork HD. I will leave this post up incase someone else runs into the issue.
There are really no windows programs to successfully extract the DZ from KDZ ??
I've been working on this issue for 3 days and can't get a boot image and other necessary files to come out of the DZ. Only way i read about that was successful was using OneKeyExtraction.bat (sourabh7625) but program cannot find the KDZ file like shown below. I'm working with LG G710VM on Win10 can only access EDL at this point.
