[Q] How to use Flashtool-0.9.12.0 with Z1c - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm trying to install RomAur onto my device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641067.
1st step is to root the device ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER which leads me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196.
And from that thread I've followed the instructions, placed my 2 .ftf files in the firmwares folder within Flashtool.
At which point I've run into 2 problems. 1st, the Z1c isn't recognised by the tool. So I tried to tell the program that it's just a Z1.
Next problem occurs when I try to flash the device, my specific firmware doesn't show up in the Firmware Selector. The only thing showing is X10 V1 BLRelock, which was already there by default.
Could someone give more detailed instructions as to how to flash using Flashtool please.

If you want to unlock the bootloader make sure to back up TA partition!
Check out my guide, it's more detailed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50176658 (rooting is the same process as Darkimmortal's guide)
See step 8, you probably didn't put the ftf file in the correct folder.

Thanks for replying.
I can't seem to manually update the z1c drivers, device manager keeps telling me i have the latest driver. So I skip that step and carry on.
Stuck at 8. I've tried putting the ftf in /firmware as well as other locations and changing the directory that flashtool will search.
Something else is wrong, any other suggestions?

You can see the source folder in the top of the Firmware Selector. Default is "C:\Flashtool\firmwares". Make sure your file is inside there and ends with ftf.
Also check if the file has the correct hash:
SO-02F_14.1.H.1.281_docomo.ftf
MD5: 259221BCEEB54F3AD7F9721111E0EF1D

Bad hash. Thanks for the help, redownloading now, hope it succeeds this time.

Please let me know if it worked after redownloading, I will add it to the guide :good:

Stuck on step 13.
Run Z1C-lockeddualrecovery(...)installer.zip's install.bat and select option 3 [Installation on unrooted ROM] ( URL goes here )
I'm running the .bat file and selecting option 3 but I get stuck with the text saying 'Waiting for Device, connect USB cable now..."
I can't turn my phone on, well I can't tell if it's on or off since it just stays black, but pressing volume up and down vibrates the phone.

Make sure your phone is off (hold volume up and power button 5seconds, if the phone was on it will vibrate 3times and shut down).
Then power on your phone normally (hold power button until there is a slight vibrate). The screen will stay black, this is normal.
Plug in the USB cable to your pc and continue with step 13.
If it still says 'Waiting for device' you either:
a) don't have the drivers installed (check in device manager if something shows up when the phone is connected)
b) didn't correctly execute step 10
c) selected some wrong options in step 11
If it's b) or c), best solution is to start from scratch.

Ok so I managed to sort it out by starting from scratch.
I think it would be helpful to mention in your guide that the phone is blank from steps 13 through to 15. Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

[GUIDE] Restoring Phone from Soft-Brick and FAQ [7/11]

!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!
USE TEENYBIN IN DEV SECTION
!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!
Hi All,
I've noticed that there isn't a guide that contains all the information for restoring your phone to a stock state. I recently soft-bricked my phone, and with the help of XDA and the members at IRC I was able to restore my phone. Most of these methods will require you LGNPST ; however, we'll also attempt to fix with restoring backups and flashing new roms.
Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)
This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.
1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.
2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.
3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.
4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.
5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.
6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe
7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.
8. Restart.
I don't have a zip in my local storage!!!!
It's okay. We can still fix this. All we need to do is sideload the zip.
On PC or Mac
1. Download the Android SDK HERE or Download Files Located below.
2. Place files on Desktop.
3. Enter Terminal or Console
4. Go to your desktop by entering
cd /Users//Desktop
The is your unique information.
On Phone
1. Do step 1 -5 above.
2. On TWRP go to advanced and place your phone in ADB mode.
3. Wait for the terminal screen to come on.
After setting up the above
1. Go back to your PC and type the below.
For Windows remove the "./"
./adb sideload .zip
2. On terminal you should see the percentile for the upload.
3. Wait.
4. Do steps 6-8 on Accessing Recovery Screen
LGNPST(No Direct Links)
Getting the files to revert back to stock can only be accessed from IRC or private message me. Please, DO NOT SHARE the link.
For anyone at IRC, if I provide to much information, I will be more than willing to pull information.

After you've acquired the Auto-LGNPST and the .tot file which can be accessed from the Sprint Directory.
1. Run install.bat to install the necessary programs. If you are using Windows Vista or later then Run install.bat as Administrator (Right click install.bat and click Run as Administrator)
2. Download the proper factory image (should end with .tot) and rename the file from .tot to .bin (if it ends with .zip, gzip, .rar, .7z, .tar, etc. than you need to extract it first)
3. Plug your phone into the computer. Then put your phone in download mode, continue reading if your not sure how. From then power off state press and hold Volume Up + Down and then press Power. If this does not work then try again except release the power before the LG logo shows up. The phone's screen will says "Download Mode Do Not Unplug".
4. Wait for the drivers to be detected and installed. Once they are run LGNPST. To do so do the following: Click Start - All Programs (if applicable) - LGNPST
5. Select LGNPST_LS970.dll for the DLL file and then for the .bin file, use the bin file that you renamed from tot to bin.
If LGNPST errors out at 85%, after a few minutes turn your phone off and hold the power button until the phone powers on, then release.

There is now a v9 root method.
Utilize the v9 .tot avaible in XDA or IRC. v9 tot
Many people are experiencing issues when LGNPST times out at 85%, which then leads to a phone that never roots and unlocks properly. If you're still soft-bricking, follow these steps.
Shut the phone off by placing your phone in download mode
When in download mode, hold down volume down and power for 30+ seconds
When the phone is shut off, and isn't turning itself back on when no buttons are pressed, plug into a wall cahrger
If you don't immediately see a charging battery, leave the charger for a considerable amount of time.

If possible could I get a LGNPST pm?
So my computer doesn't seem to recognize my device. I wiped out too much info with TWRP and now have no ROM or any OS on the device, but can get into fastboot and TWRP, but when I enter "adb devices" the list is empty. How can I get my Win 7 computer to recognize my device?

So I'm using LGNPST to get my friends phone back to stock using all files provided via IRC.
Just as indicated, LGNPST errors out at 85%, I unplug and hold power button as instructed but nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
*EDIT* got it figured out, thanks to everyone that helped.
Disaster (I hope not)
Hi ... please help my phone is drowning and needs some CPR badly.
I tried to install lifeless on Sprint LS 970 using TWRP ... all went well,or so TWRP reported, until I tried to reboot and got the dread gray screen that won't ever turn completely off ...
I've repeatedly (like over and over) tried everything in this post to try and get into recovery or fast boot but nothing worked ... it will go into download mode and it will turn off and not immediately turn back on if I hold the power and vol down button for a minute or so, but when I try the next step and plug in the ac charger I get an immediate single flash of the LG loader and the gray screen.
So what should I do now or next or whatever to try and salvage the thing. Computer wise I am running Win 7 64, is there anything I can do from there via download mode?
Also, there's a pinhole on the top (G side of the LG logo) of the phone which looks suspiciously like like it should be a reset button, but pusing it with a dental pick has gotten me nowhere ... but maybe I'm missing something there as well.
Or would it help to remove the two torx screws, open the case, and pull the battery for a minute or two. (Must remind myself to never ever buy another phone with a locked down battery ... talk about the ultimate in dumb design ... especially when the thing starts refusing to accept a charge long before the user is due for a two-year upgrade.) The problem is it's wonderful phone except for that bit of idiocy.
Anyway, I would appreciate it more than I can say, and even donate something to the development kitty, if someone could help me reanimate this phone.
Thanks

I am having trouble too. When I click install.bat it doesn't install anything. It says file path could not be found. I have done it twice
to no avail. I am already logged in as admin. Home computer running 64bit win 7. Also in lgnpst I can select a dll file but it is a
componant 5 .dll not anything near what it should be.
O.k. N.M. The problem with my computer is I can't extract in my download folder, I need to move the file to my desktop and work from there.
We will see how the rest goes now. Well it didnt help, it errors out in like 2 seconds. Looks like i will have to wait for a rom.
LGNPST for linux
Can LGNPST be run on a linux box and if so where can I find the download?
I apologize for anyone that's been trying to contact me regarding LGNPST. As you know, JB leaked and we've all been busy. Hopefully one of the many amazing members helped.

[Q] LG G3 D855 Won't boot

Hey,
After rooting my D855 worked perfect until it the battery drained. Now, with a fully charged battery, it won't boot. It's currently stuck at the LG boot screen with the LED's cycling colours. Custom recovery isn't installed so I factory reset it using stock recovery and it still won't boot. When I connect it to my iMac, Android File Transfer recognises a device but tells me it's not available.
If anyone needs any info then please ask, hopefully someone is able to help.

have you messed with build.prop are other system files?
anyway to restore your phone follow my steps exactly
1) pull out the battery and press and hold volume+ while connecting charger
2) release buttons when phone says download mode.
3)download your firmware via this site, replace imei of my url with your imei number (see box)
4)download this tool and navigate to your file with the "find kdz option"(do not change the other fields)
5) press normal download
6) press start chose your country and language
7) ignore the could not connect to server error
8) if that didn’t work try it over from step 5 but now with cse flash instead of normal flash
9) do not disconnect until you boot completely up for the second time

[Q] Rom install failed now can't boot

Hi guys, so my problem is I was installing a new rom on my rooted D855. everything was going along fine but then the process stalled. I left it running for 15 - 20 minutes but it was still on 33%. I tried holding the power button in desperation which shut the thing down. Now when I try to factory reset it goes to the prompt screen, I answer yes, then it asks me to confirm. from there however it goes to LG splash screen and eventually a black screen with Fastboot mode started. -reset- portcharge -reset- portcharge fastboot: processing commands in the top left corner. That's it.. If I try download mode it goes to the download screen and then to the black screen as described above.
Sounds pretty ordinary but if there is an answer out there I am sure one of you guys will know it.
TIA
i had some similar other issue and the only way i got out of it, is by using the lg flashtool 2014 and the KDZ file appropriate to your version
there is a thread with a step by step instructions.
you launch the flashtool, then insert the kdz file (original stock rom) then you put your phone into download mode (making sure in windows/controlpanel/devicemanager/ports - comp port 41 for the device driver)
you press volume up and plug it into the pc, the pc sees the phone and it starts reflashing the custom rom to your cell.
i presume that as soon as your download mode is working by flashing whatever command is corrupt and makes your phone black should be bypassed by then
i hope it helps - look for the thread how to flash the lg
Thanks I'll give it a shot. Not sure device manager is seeing it properly. I'll have a play and see. Thanks again for the reply
O.K here's the thing, my phone is seen in device manager as a Samsung Android Phone. Under the details tab it shows it connected via USB Modem Phone ADB Port. There is no option to change the port to 41. Anybody who can help I would be very grateful......

Arc S stuck on Legacy Xperia boot logo

Hey guys, so my Xperia Z's screen broke and the touch is unresponsive, so I took out my old Arc S out of the box and decided to boot it up, apparently I had gotten a new phone because this one had a booting problem.
Things I know:
It's been rooted, bootloader is unlocked, current ROM is Legacy Xperia, can't go into CWM recovery, connecting phone to PC and trying to flash new kernel won't work because flashtool doesn't recognize the device.
In device manager the phone comes up as an unknown device, downloaded the drivers from Sony's site, no luck, get error message saying "this file is not compatible with your version of Windows" or something.
I'm on W10 64bit.
So basically I'm kinda stuck, tried Google and other forums and nothing, I can't seem to get anywhere.
Could you guys help me out?
EDIT: Tried installing Android Studio, launching cmd from /appdata/roaming/android/sdk/platform-tools but when I enter the command line it says "waiting for device".
So I'm thinking this has to do with my PC not detecting my phone in fastboot mode or anyother mode.
This seems like a corrupted /system partition. First off, try another cable. Your current one might not be working (happened to me, kept reporting that it "did not recognize the device"). If that does not work, let's start with the basic troubleshooting steps. Does your phone boot info fastboot (turn off your phone, disconnect USB cable, hold menu button, reconnect USB while holding)? If it does, run "fastboot erase system" (I'm assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed and fastboot.exe in the working directory), and try booting into the recovery.
If not, let's try flashmode (turn off phone, disconnect USB, hold back button, reconnect while holding). If that works, just start up Flashtool (Download), wait for it to do its thing (sync), download the latest 4.1.B.0.587 ICS .ftf file from here. Once done, exit Flashtool, and go to the "drivers" folder. Install the flashmode drivers. Go back to Flashtool now.
In Flashtool, click the flash icon in the top-right of the program, and on the top you will find the working directory. Click the button on the right to it and select the directory where you downloaded the .ftf file. A new entry will show up in the menu on the left side. Click on it. Flashtool will prepare the file for flashing and instruct you how to connect your phone in flashmode. Be patient, this process may take a while. Once done (Flashtool will tell you), disconnect the phone, take the battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in, and then boot up the phone. The "SONY" logo should show up, followed by the "XPERIA" logo.
Set your phone up, and have fun flashing!
P.S. If you have any problems with your PC not recognizing your device while in USB Debugging (ADB says no devices), this worked for me.

If that does not work, let's start with the basic troubleshooting steps. Does your phone boot info fastboot (turn off your phone, disconnect USB cable, hold menu button, reconnect USB while holding)? If it does, run "fastboot erase system" (I'm assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed and fastboot.exe in the working directory), and try booting into the recovery.
If not, let's try flashmode (turn off phone, disconnect USB, hold back button, reconnect while holding). If that works, just start up Flashtool (Download), wait for it to do its thing (sync), download the latest 4.1.B.0.587 ICS .ftf file from here. Once done, exit Flashtool, and go to the "drivers" folder. Install the flashmode drivers. Go back to Flashtool now.
In Flashtool, click the flash icon in the top-right of the program, and on the top you will find the working directory. Click the button on the right to it and select the directory where you downloaded the .ftf file. A new entry will show up in the menu on the left side. Click on it. Flashtool will prepare the file for flashing and instruct you how to connect your phone in flashmode. Be patient, this process may take a while. Once done (Flashtool will tell you), disconnect the phone, take the battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in, and then boot up the phone. The "SONY" logo should show up, followed by the "XPERIA" logo.
Set your phone up, and have fun flashing!
P.S. If you have any problems with your PC not recognizing your device while in USB Debugging (ADB says no devices), this worked for me.

Hey man thank you so much for replying to the thread.
So I feel like a dumbass, multiple times I've read about changing cables, guess what, that's all it took.
So basically I changed the cable and instead of "unrecognized device" I got "S1 fastboot device", after that I installed the adb drivers for the Xperia Arc and voilà, it recognized as an adb device.
Onto platform-tools folder, cmd, flashed the kernel for Cyanogen 10, finally got into recovery and now after a full system wipe I'm flashing CM.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks a bunch!

Question Oppo Reno 6 5G (PEQM00) bricked

Hello
I need help here I have tried everything to fix my oppo reno 6 5g chinese version and now I am at a dead end can anybody give any suggestion.?
My phone is on black screen and its showing only for 2 second on device manager as some other version which made mtkclient tool to failed handshake and sp flash tool to give error.
like attached screen shots.
In device manager it is showing as V_1632 which is idk what.
I tried all combination but phone is at black screen now.
Device is not going into BROM mode.
Any help will be much appreciated.
hmmm, at least you didn't flash the wrong preloader, so we can save this pretty easily actually.
Just simply follow this guide:
Download VCOM drivers: Mega Link
Install LibUSB and filter your device driver after connecting it through USB while pressing on both vol + and vol - buttons.
Install Python and install it's requirements using the command `pip install pyusb pyserial json5` in CMD.
Extract MTK bypass util anywhere and run the command `python main.py` in the extracted folder through CMD while your device is connected (KEEP HOLDING VOL + AND VOL - DURING THE BYPASSING!!!).
Open SP and flash the scatter file of your stock ROM (PLEASE ONLY FLASH YOUR STOCK ROM) (ONLY USE DOWNLOAD MODE).
Then reboot your device and it should work.
If you face any issue or don't know how to do a step of those just reply to the thread. I'll try to attach some pictures, just be aware I'm only online at about this time.

I did everything like you described step by step first 3 steps were installations so that went ok but in step 4 I followed your instructions but nothing happend.
I pressed VOL up+VOL down buttons but nothing happend for long time.
Here is screen shot of CMD
I think preloader is damaged or something because not its not going in BROM mode at all only black screen.
If i press VOL up+VOL down+PWR buttons then in device manager phone is shown as I shared screenshot in post but only for like 2 seconds.
like this
Also in SP flash tool detects the phone but when I hit the downlad button it gives error STATUS_ERR instantly not even start the process.
Most likely you didn't use LibUSB right, just open the app connect the device and when you see it in the list of devices highlight it and press install

I did exactly what you said but the problem is phone is like not responding to VOL+andVOL- buttons command, in LibUsb where it says waiting for devicec i pressed both volume buttons and connect and waited for 1 minute atleast but nothing attached screenshot for rfrence. its just empty.
But when i press all HW buttons then LibUsb shows a device then I select it and install and completes it but thats the problem it only shows for 2 second then gone.
like this
what should i do now?
I think you fried the preloader mate, you need to do a test point connection and force the device to connect to the cpu directly.
If you're unsure how to do that please send your device to a professional instead.

yeah im not sure how to do that. I think too much flashing may have resulted in that.
Thank you for your help.
but in case if they didnt take it then im afraid im gonna have to try that is there any tool or process or help where i can learn more abt this test connection process?

It's device specific so I'll need to look into it and reply to you, but generally speaking you're going to connect a USB to the device through specific CPU pins on the motherboard.

Oh it means I need to open up the phone.
That will be the problem because I dont have the tools to do that.
I guess first I have to try and find some professional then.
