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?

Does enyone have idea what causing this problem
Thanks in advance
If you have unlocked your bootloader, re-lock it
take the SIM card out of your phone and reboot phone
My bootloader is unlocked, but won't let me install update. How do I re-lock bootloader??
Download Link
Flash this ftf file via flashtool from the download line --> www(dot)mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd (not allow to post outside links, sorry!)
And your bootloader is locked again!
No need to relock bootloader to get the update. Download complete update 4.1.B.0.587 from here, put it in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" (if Flashtool is installed in "C:\Flashtool") and flash it using Flashtool. I did it without problems. Use the "flashmode" in Flashtool, I selected "Exclude FOTA" option, so only baseband, system and kernel were flashed..
Help?
i relocked my bootloader to update to 4.0.3(latest). But now i want to unlock it again to flash a custom kernel and rom. is it possible?
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.

My BL is unlocked and I lost my drm keys aswell and flashtool works for me.
There are two different flashtools out there.. Use this one: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Which .ftf did you try to flash?
Did you install the needed drivers on your pc?
Edit:
What do you mean by hard bricked?
Are you able to run fastboot or flash mode?

Dear Forum Members,
I would like to know if there is a way to completely remove rooting from my Z1 Compatc mobile as I'm unable to update my firmware via Sony ever since.
Thanks in advance.

use flashtool and inside of flashtool the tool "Xperifirm".
With that tool you can download latest firmwares .ftf
Flash downloaded firmware with flashtool.
And important: to receive Sony updates you have to relock your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
Cause unlocking bootloader "kills" the FOTA partition (for me this partition is very useful cause i flashed a permanent TWRP recovery inside it), but you need this partition for Sony updates via Sony Companion etc....
BUT: this method only works if you unlocked the bootloader the official way via Sony homepage
Hello,
I am new to Sony. I did own a Huawei P10 Lite, and installed GSI Roms succesfully.
Now i did unlock the bootloader of my XA2 and i want to try a little bit with Flashtool.
I did download the latest Firmware via XperiFirm, and i want to make a .ftf file.
Flashtool asks me if i want to use FSC Script when i want to make .ftf file, i don't know if i should click on Yes or No. Maybe someone can help me.
2nd thing i want to know is how to flash a firmware with flashtool. I only found tutorials for an older version of flashtool.
Is it possible to update the firmware to newest version with flashtool, if i don't tick the wipe boxes?
Can i tick all the wipe boxes if i want to clean flash?
A guide for the newest flashtool version would be good, maybe somone takes the time and helps me.
You can also pm me on Telegram: @Schrittii
Thanks.

HI, 1st: you must click yes to use FSC script, as is how is installed the files that content the ftf archive... 2nd... You could downgrade and upgrade your firmware without problems with flashtool... Don't touch anything, just flash with the default options
