Hi i have a UK Xplay r800i
I want to Flash the latest Stock rom and Doomlords Kernel.
Is there any way to do this without access to flash tool ?
I have Mac and Linux Machines only, My Linux box is all set up with ADB so is my prefered option
You need to use Windows, sadly. However, you can run a virtual machine on Linux. These instructions were meant for Ubuntu, but you can use them on any Linux distribution.

I do not have a windows disc so unfortunately no go
You could open the flashtool file for the firmware you want using winrar and extract the system.sin file from it.
Then flash the system.sin using fastboot enter
fastboot flash system system.sin
Then just flash doomskernel in fastboot and your good to go

Thats not a good idea, updating that way leaves you with an older baseband, although you have updated the /system/ partition, you now have an old radio for the F/W you are using, this will lead to incompatibilities and bugs, if your radio was from 2.3.3 720p video recording may not work.
Your correct, the camera does not work at all.
Any suggestions ?
You can't even relock bootloader and use ota without flashtool so i'm stumped.

Sorry to lead you through all that for nothing. Its just a quick way to get a different system on my phone. I dont have to worry about baseband problems, sorry for wastin your time!
I used to flash Radio seperately all the time, back in the Day on my G1.
can the radio not be flashed seperately in the same way as i flashed the kernel and system ?
because apart from the camera not working my phone is working perfectly as it should

I know of no way to flash baseband seperately, that dosent mean it can't be done, in theory any partition can be flashed from fastboot, but you would need to know the partition radio is on and you would need a baseband.sin/.img. the only people here with that kind of know how are binary, blagus and doomlord, maybe you should pm one and ask

Hmm, weirdly, the camera is working fine now.
I have some prototype devices, and the only way I can flash them is "flash tool",
they are BROWN devices, so Wotan can't flash them, also not SEUS,
I don't have EMMA account or so, so my question is,
can somebody flash FW with wotan, and then grab the FW from the phone?
devs please caan someone make the official ics rom available to me so i can flash via fastboot. everytime i use flash tool im getting this error. yes im using the latest 0.7 version tried everything. seus and pcc doesnt even let me repair my exising firmware
16/042/2012 00:42:15 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";
Or a zip so I can flash via recovery.
I'm just thinking a while back I flashed with Wotan to a generic central Europe firmware. Could that affect why I can't flash??
For my opinion this sounds like a damage file. did you try to download it again??
Otherwise i can upload a clean backup of my ARC S if you want.
Hi merlin ive tried so many times to download the file. Md5 is a match. I was thinking last resort to flash via wotan but im a bit paranoid because last it wotan bricked my device i then had to wait a day before reflashing with wotan

My LT15i got upgraded to .62 version via OTA and I wanted to downgrade it to .42 to root it safely and easily. Something didn't work out and after flashing the downgrade my phone got bootlooped. I downloaded different official ROMs to go back to, but I can't flash them

Any ideas what can I do? I didn't use fastboot since I'm not sure what should I do with it, just flashtool.
Just keep flashing it or use Update Service to repair it.
There are dozens of generic ROMs.
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491066
Use Flashtool repeatedly.. doesn't always work the first time around..
Does the LED indicator change after a while of being plugged in in flash mode? Check this, as I kept having the same issue. I just kept yanking the cable out and plugging it back in and repeating the procedure over and over until it fianlly flashed the kernel for me.
Was using arcknight kernel when i got stuck in bootloop, flashed to stock kernel and repaired over SEUS before unlocking BL and rooting once again using zergrush

The problem is, I used to have root and CWM installed, but now I can't enter it, because when I flash the ROM, it gets stuck in certain moment. I'm stuck somewhere between 3 and 4 point, where my flashtool doesn't correctly flash the ROM onto my Lt15i. From this bootloop I can't reach CWM or normal system to enter the google play or something.
I'll keep on trying flashing it, I'll also try to flash it from another computer
Is it possible that flashtool is being blocked by certain application like, I don't know, PC companion?
Additionally, I can't go back to the stock ROM via PC companion or SEUS, because when I'm in flashmode and phone is ready to flash, the PC companion says that my phone is already upgraded and there are no new updates to it, so it can't be upgraded, even tho there is some old flashed ROM inside ( I think PC companion reads the old ROM, that I used to have before bootloop, I believe it was the 4.0~~~~.62 version)

Disable antivirus and run the flash tool with adminstrator. Try to refalsh the .42 firmware.
Try to flash the .42 ftf with old version of flash tool. I saw some cases where with new flash tool, .42 is not flashed successfully.

Hi guys i am so nervous because of mi xps doesn´t weak up, its already in bootloop.
I have tried a lot of things, because i have an unlocked bootloader, the pc recognised the phone, and it seems that via fastboot i can flash a recovery like Advanced Stock Kernel, but really the phone still in bootloops and i have not got recovery
I have connected to flashtools and flash .55 ftf, the flashtools told that everything is good, but incomprensively de phone still in bootloops.
Now the phone is charging (all the leds working) but after five minutes, the phone turns on and bootloop again.
The zip that i flash before the bootlops is this: http://www.mediafire.com/?67mcui28bh3f45o of this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1724602 , ICS STATUS BAR V3
can someone help me please?
THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH
Try flashing stock fw using flashtool again?

you are on .55, the version used for that mod is .45 thats why you get bootloop, all you need to do is to reflash the stock firmware via flashtool.
always been said before: before to do anything else,make a backup.so in case of problems you will still have your backup.
Or you can now use the official flash tool from Sony.

There is no chance of problems using the official generic world firmwares provided by Sony itself
