●●► Use FLASHTOOL to solve software problems ◄●●

.
Hello everyone ,
I'd like to remind all of you, that there is a wonderful tool you can use to solve a lot of software problems on Xperia devices.
It is called "Flashtool", it was originally developed by Bin4ry and it is maintained and developed by Androxyde.

●► Use: Flashtool is most commonly used to flash original Sony stock firmwares to your phone and to unlock and relock the bootloader.
A big pro is, you can flash firmwares no matter the bootloader status. PC Companion and SEUS need a locked bootloader.
A lot of users in the Q&A and General Forums are stuck with boot loops or bricked Xperias after flashing stuff to their device.
Sometimes a stock Sony firmware refuses to boot after installing something or just out of nowhere. You might also have the problem that
PC Companion and SEUS don't want to update to the newest firmware. Or maybe your phone doesn't have any signal and can't connect
to the network or Wi-Fi. Sometimes the SIM card is not recognized. Or you have to send it in to repair service and it is rooted and has an
unlocked bootloader. Or you just simply want to sell it.
Even problems with the hardware like sensors that don't work properly (cameras, rotation, gps, compass, etc.) or even problems with
the mic, screen and battery can be solved by just flashing a stock Sony firmware.
Do you want to create your own .ftf file to upload to XDA or share with your friends? Flashtool can do that as well.
You can also use it to flash just the kernel in order to root a newer firmware.
You will find those .ftf files on the xda forums for download.
So, before you panic and think about sending your phone in for repair, try to use this tool, it's a lot faster and it often solves the problem
●► How to:
After installing Flashtool, you will have to install the drivers. You can find the "drivers" folder inside the flashtool install directory.
Also try these drivers. In order to install unsigned drivers in Windows 8 and 8.1 use this guide.
You will also find a folder called "firmwares" in the flashtool install directory. Thats where you have to put the .ftf files.
Then start Flashtool.
Click the flash button and choose "Flashmode".
In the list below you will see all firmwares and kernels inside the "firmwares" folder.
Choose the one you want to flash.
Leave everything else as it is!
Click the "Flash" button in the right corner.
Now Flashtool prepares the files for flashing. A prompt will pop up telling you to power off your phone and connect
in flashmode by pressing the back button.
On newer Xperia devices you have to press the Vol-down button while connecting the USB cable.
The flashing process will start.
Do not disconnect the USB cable until its done!
When everything is done, unplug USB and power on the phone.
If you want to flash just a kernel.ftf, you will find the right procedure in the kernel thread.
●► Reminder:
You have to keep in mind, that flashing an .ftf firmware file with Flashtool will factory reset your device!
System partition, apps and settings and even the internal storage will be wiped after flashing!
(You have the option to not wipe those, but in order to get rid of all problems you should wipe everything)
And that's where the nandroid backup comes into place:
You should always have a backup of a working system. It saves you a lot of trouble and installation procedures..
After flashing the firmware you can use the backup to put all your settings back into place.
●► Last but not least:
There is another, official "Flashtool" by Sony, don't mistake it for this one!
If you have questions, ideas and experiences, post them here.
Have a nice day

[FIXED] adb sideload "timed out waiting for package"

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FIXED!!!
FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS

since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611

If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.

[GUIDE] Install JUI ROM and return to EUI safely

Hello, as everyone knows, the previous JUI beta caused problems with the baseband and EFS partition.
On behalf of a Chinese developer to come out a new beta of JUI that is compatible with our phone, which will detail the steps to install safely.
1: Install this TWRP recovery and make a backup of the EFS partition and save it in a safe place
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
2: Download the ROM from this link and pass it to the phone and install with TWRP
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1WVNNqgsv7lR2d5MDFIdHZYbHM/view
3: After installing, restart your phone and wait for JUI to boot, start with a screen with Chinese letters, after that will restart the phone and start the ROM normally.
EXTRA: GOOGLE PLAY
If you need google apps, follow these simple steps.
1: Dowload BeanGapps
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-dynamic-gapps-t3487192
2: Install the ROM first, wait for it to start, and when you start to shut down the phone and go to the recovery and install the gapps.
HOW TO GO BACK TO EUI AND REMOVE THE ENCRYPTION
1: Download the latest version of EUI
link here: https://goo.gl/j6A5P4
2: Enter in TWRP recovery and clear all partitions.
3: Move the EUI rom to the memory of your phone and install. Then restart the system and then EUI will start loading, but at the end you will be asked for a password to remove the encryption.
DELETE ENCRYPTION.
1: On your computer, extract the boot.img file from the EUI ROM.
2: dowload TWRP recovery
link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
3: Put the boot.img file and the recovery file in the ADB folder. Then rename the recovery file with this name “recovery.img”
4: Put your phone in fastboot mode, and put these commands in order
PD: Do not forget to move both files to the ADB folder.
1: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5: After that, put your phone in recovery mode and go to the wipe section and press “SWIPE TO FACTORY RESET”.
After that a screen appears that says that the phone is encrypted and that it needs to format the partition, and tells it to write YES OR NO,
6: Write YES and clean all partitions.
7: After doing the above, re-install EUI and when you start the phone will no longer be encrypted and will be ready to use again.

So if we have twrp installed, do we install eui through it? I thought i read this was dangerous on this phone

OTA with unlocked bootloader

hi everyone, i have an E6833 running on 32.4.A.0.160
i received my phone today it was at maintenance service, so i came back and installed twrp on it (no root)
after restarting i got an update message 32.4.A.1.54 from system
the quistion is: can i install this update with an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed?
if no can i uninstall the twrp and install the update?+(how?)
if no again, what should i do?
thx

your best bet is to make a full backup.
Move the backup to your pc.
Download the update using Flashtool 0.9.23.2
install firmware after downloading ( exclude all .TA files in the lower window)
If you are going from stock rom to this update its possible to flash without wiping user data to keep your apps / data intact.
Fast boot a Recovery like TWRP
then reboot to recovery and flash a custom kernel. like PDesires YandereCore.
reboot and enjoy.
This is basically what I did for the current update on my E6853
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

its possible flash tool is not set to look in the correct folder.
Make sure you select Flash (not fastboot)
then make sure the location is C:\Users\*your profile name*\.flashTool\firmwares
after Flashtool downloads a firmware it auto extracts the firmware files.
so you only need to select the device (after its been set to Flash mode (Flash tool will direct you)
use the arrows next device tree, and go to the bottom arrow til you get your firmware.
I've made note of the Exclude TA files to tick all of these. to remove the TA files from your flash.
Make sure too. that you are using a USB 2 port. USB 3 ports have been giving errors with the current drivers on some systems

HELP SM-T805 DOESNT BOOT

I TRIED TO FLASH LINEAGE OS WITH TWRP, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE WIPE STEP! I USED THESE INSTRUCTIONS: https://www.howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android/ And I made it to Step 4 without any problems. When I pressed the reboot button, however, it said “OS Not Installed” or something. The guide stated that it would automatically reboot to recovery, but it is currently not booting at all. The battery charging icon doesn't even turn off, and it's just stuck on. The only option I have is to use the power button+vol down+home key to enter download mode. When i try to choose the reboot button, as it takes me to the Samsung boot screen, and I'm stuck there unless i press the download mode button again, in after which I'm taken to the battery charging icon AGAIN. I attempted to boot into recovery mode, but it was unsuccessful. Please assist me!
Edit after much searching i finally booted into twrp recovery but when i was doing that i got this error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". but i could finally get to twrp. the only problem is that when im trying to install crdroid its giving an error a pic of which im attatching. i tried 2 customs roms still dint work...
