Have you got USB Debugging turned on under settings?

yes.this is not my firs experience with flashtool.i had x8,x10 and lww before and all phones worked fine with flashtool
It's probably because of the kernel. Try flashing the stock kernel first, before flashing the entire tft file. The stock kernel is the file called "kernel.sin" inside the tft file. You can extract it and flash it while is fastboot mode.
Or if you want to flash it using flashmode, use the 7zip program and delete all files inside the tft file except the single folder and the kernel.sin, then flash the modified tft file.
Tnx will try it,i was able to flash custom kernel usingvfastboot.
ok this is confusing.i was able to flash kernel and system with fastboot mode,but still cant flassh ftf file with flash mode?

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.
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

I got this error when I load rom 0.42 ; 0.58 by flashtool 0.9
but, with 0.62, it can load usual!
Please help me to fix it!
p/s: Sorry for my English! Hope you can understand!
I have the same issue with Flashtool on my R800a. I have not been able to solve it yet, but I have found another way to flash these roms; but you need fastboot for it to work.
I extracted the files from the FTF file using 7-zip, then I would start Flashtool in fastboot mode and flash the "system.img" file that was extracted from the FTF.
I also had problem with same error but i manage to solve it. You basicly have to replace (overwrite) .62 files with .42 firmware files within .62 archive. I was using total commander, but if you don't understand, i can try to explain it... Just tell me what program u use for opening zip/rar/7z archives?

hey guy!
I've found an solution for my problem!
flashtool 0.7!
that's ok to flash rom 0.42!
I got into a bootloop recently due to unlocking my bootloader. I was really worried, so I installed CWM using fastboot on my phone.Then the bootloop also stopped,only the sony logo appears for a small time and then the phone goes black out.I can still boot into recovery.
I came to know that flashing using stock ftf will solve my problem, but now on flashing it gives the error that processing loader.sin completed with errors and then the flashing aborts. Please anybody help me!:crying: I have the latest version of flashtool and have downloaded C1905 15.1.A.1.9 global ftf.
You can try using Emma (a Sony restoration tool) to restore the latest firmware.
Alternatively you can boot to recovery, mount sd card(make sure all pc drivers are installed), download a custom rom like cm/aosp or stock rom (not the ftf but zip), load it to the sd card and then install that via recovery.
Will emma work on unlocked bootloader phones(like mine)? Where can I get stock rom in zip format?

There is no zip of stock rom. What he says is download a custom rom like cm11 and flash it then flash the ftf file again.

Is it necessary to flash the ftf again after flashing cm11?
Until now, Flashtool not provide XM device (loader.sin). #cmiiw
But you can download the file below and put it in C:\Flashtool\Device
For XM Single: http://d-h.st/eBB
For XM Dual: http://d-h.st/hcw
Then try to flash again.

You in locked or unlocked bootloader ? If you still locked you can try to flash with PC companion. But if you in unlocked bootloader you must know are your .ftf file that have you downloaded before isn't corrupt . I suggest to redownload that file and re flash again with flashtool using flashmode bro. But if you're .ftf file isn't corrupt just keep connection USB must stable for this flash bro, because if isn't Stable that can't make broke this flash from flashtool I guest so. Try it first ya:thumbup:
Im in LB.. i have downloaded new version flashtool.. but ftf file is previous one..
Thx for your help. Will try flashing again tommorow..
