here you go. Quoted from Graveir post here. credits to him
2. Flashtool
Flashtool is a software developed for Xperia X10, with later added functionality for our precious X8.
It comes in handy when two things happen: we cannot, for whatever reason, enter xRecovery and we don't want to/cannot use SEUS or PCC.
How to use?
1. Download latest version from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
2. Download ROM image, whichever you prefer:
X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf
X8_1.6_clear.ftf
X8_2.0.2_China.ftf
SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf
3. Download the baseband if you want to flash it (custom ROMs like miniCM or CM7 require baseband ending with "15" in order for app2sd to work):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
4. Place ftf file in /firmwares directory of your flashtool.
5. Install drivers from /drivers directory (if your antivirus doesn't like them, disable the antivirus )
6. Prepare yourself - plug the USB cable to the computer (NOT TO THE DEVICE YET) and launch flasher.
7. Click "flash", choose your ROM from the list, wait for instructions.
8. When the instruction pops up, press and hold "back" button on your X8 and plug the cable into it. Keep holding untill you see that flashing of files has begun, then you may release it.
9. Flashing will take a while, you may observe the progress on a bottom bar. When it's finished you will be asked to plug off your device and reboot it.
10. Tadam! It's functional again!

Yoga 2 1050l efi fault after OTA. Only DNX mode left,no recovery/Fastboot. Hardbrick?

[SOLVED] I have rooted my 1050L to fix sharpness. After some weeks I received an OTA and installed. Stupid me. Tried to flash stock rom from temp TWRP, no luck.
Tried some suggestions from here and there, and now i have only DNX mode left. PhoneFlashTool says I'm in wrong mode.

Ok, so I was able to flash this rom and boot the tablet. But when i get the OTA the tablet crashes...

The OTA was YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW

Now trying YT2-1050L_USR_S100081_1507241439_WW52_ROW, will update with results

Can it be that the OTA did not have all the right files. Or did the root process do something so that I can only flash stock roms?

I am really not getting any wiser on this intel world. Only been playing with Samsung, Nexus(LG/ASUS) and HTC

Any thoughts? Anyone??

And I can't post images, sorry for that :c

forgot this,
Thanks ionioni
after you flash remember to set your region code before taking any ota's (on the first Android boot go to Contacts and in the search contacts box input ####59930# and if it shows a two letter country code then you're good to go, if it shows 'unknown' then you need to set a country code, input in the same box ####6020# and chose a country, yours or a close one, tablet will reboot)

After you flashed the from,did you go to contacts and enter your Country code, without this code it will not take updates.
Sorry missed your last post.

I did
Now I have my tablet back!
Seems like there is a big difference between the ROM's (the YT2_1050L_USR* files)
Maybe we should have a tread with all the different ROM's?
I found this on Androidfilehost: Link to downloads for Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 by ionioni
But how do you see the difference between different roms. Many are big files even if they are not stock roms (with radio, droidboot, bootloader, bios etc)

Now I have 1050L_S100255_160113
Is this the latest ROM?

I think the differences are in the file names...after YT2 it tells you which file is for which model.

Last hope to rescue Nexus 6p stuck in Bootloop of death(BLOD)

As you know lots of devices are facing this issue where the device is in bootloop and the bootloader is locked.
I have last hope that if anyone can help me with any one of the solution, I can rescue my nexus 6p.
Device info:
Rom: Android 7.1.1 stock rom
Bootloader: Locked (OEM unlocking not enabled in developer options)
Warranty: Ended on 14th feb 2017
Huawei said motherboard will cost Rs.28000 i.e $400 approx.
I can boot into bootloader menu and recovery as well.
I tried sideloading the OTA zips from google, it flashes successfully but still bootloops.
Note: My device didn't reboot after 90 seconds when it was in bootloader menu also I as I can sideload OTAs successfully, I don't really think that its an hardware issue.
I have 2 options as my last resort.
1. I've read that if you unenroll from Android BETA program, you get an OTA update which wipes your entire device.
BUT for this I must be able to boot which I cannot.
HELP: Can anyone provide me the BETA unenrolled OTA link so that I can try sideloading it?
2. I've also read that we can flash all partitions of nexus 6p in EDL mode refer:https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838
Files included in zip are attached below.

HELP: As per thread only way to boot into EDL mode is by ADB which I can't access as my phone doesn't boot up.
Can anyone help me with booting my device into EDL mode so that I can try flashing this file.

I already did 3 days ago in the first thread you started on this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71699404&postcount=15

I have the same problem with my Nexus 6p. I have switched to an iphone 7.
Is Google a serious organization to let so many users suffer because of their problems? I mean this really HAS to be seriously unethical company to do this. As for Huawei, well- we should have known and expected such behavior. At the end of the day it is a Chinese brand... so it needs to maintain its low levels of reputation to be worthy of its fine name.

OREO Is Rolling!

Thought I'd just leave that here since this must be the deadest section on all of XDA

Oh and stupid question by old Sony dog with a few years of straying behind him:
- guess I won't get it OTA with an open bootloader?
- so what do we use to flash these days? Flashtool only works up to the Z Ultra from what, 2013?

You can make a ftf with XperiFirm on Flashtool. The latest version of Flashtool come with Xperifirm inside, so you can choose the version what you need and create the ftf to flash.

Would it be possible/safe to update the G3221 with a G3223 firmware file?

Thanks man. This actually works (yay!) but it won't flash. Something about a script missing no matter which version I use.
Well. I'll probably survive the few days

So, will Substratum Work on the device with oreo??

Before you flash, change the name of file in C:\Users\XXXX\.flashTool\devices\G32XX from 42.0.fsc to 48.1.fsc. When you start the flash, flashtool will ask if you want to use. Answer yes.
Or you can try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
I never used it, so i can't garantee the sucess.
Sorry my bad english.

This is what I'm getting whenever I try to flash any FTF:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What does this mean? And what can be done about it?
- Bootloader is unlocked of course
- USB Debugging and Unknown Sources are on (is this relevant in Flashmode and/or Fastboot?)

This error refers to the flashtool .fsc file.
You can try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1-ultra/how-to/8-0-landed-xa1-ultra-t3764066/page3
In my case, i flashed G3112 in my G3116. At first, flashtool would not allow me because the .fsc file was not compatible with the rom I was using. So I changed the name from 40.0.fsc (first digits of the nougat rom) to 48.1.fsc (from the Oreo rom) in the \ .flashtool\Devices\G31XX folder. When I started the flash, flashtool asked me if I would use the 48.1.fsc file, so I clicked Yes and the flash was started.
I believe you should look for this folder for your device (G32XX) in the \ .flashtool \ Devices directory and make this change in the file.

Finally done. Whew there that was not beginner's work for sure - if you don't know exactly what you're doing, don't do it. Now only 2 things left... is this worth half a day's work (and I have done this about a million times)? And where to find TWRP because life without Magisk sucks donkey balls.
Short version:
- Install the latest Flashtool. Install the drivers in x:\flashtool\drivers. Won't work without them. I didn't find specific drivers for the XA1 so I just checked all of them. ATTENTION: For this to work you'll have to deactivate Windows' Driver Signing. Restart via the start menu and hold SHIFT while doing so. You'll get to the Device Repair options. Go to Advanced, Boot Options, Restart, press 7 for turning off Driver Signing. Then install all the drivers in this package. They're safe, don't worry. DS will be on again when you restart Windows.
- Make an FTF as described upthread (thanks!) or get one, like here. I'm in Austria and the MEA version works for me. Your mileage may vary though.
- Let Flashtool recognize your phone by connection it when booted normally.
- If you get the 'driver too old' alert, go into Windows Device manager. Boot phone into Flashmode. See what's coming up - like SECM Device. Delete it including its files. Go back to the start and reinstall the drivers.
- Now go into C:\Users\xxxxxxx\.flashTool\devices\G31XX and rename it from from 40.0.fsc to 48.1.fsc (thanks @boyrock - I would NOT have thought of that). ATTENTION: While the FTF is 'prepared' aka unpacked, this file might be renamed back to 40.0.fsc. If it does that, just name it back while the preparation is still running in Flashtool.
- Now go and flash normally with Flashtool. You'll get an alert if you want to use that .fsc file - it's a clear YES.
Now it should flash.
I tried a dirty flash at first because I'm lazy. Booted fine for the first time, got a bootloop on the second. So wipe USERDATA in FT. Don't be me, do that whenever you upgrade to a new major version

Guys, hoping somebody can help. I got notified about an update for 47.2.A.11.239, which I think is a related update
I had bootloader unlocked, with TWRP and Magisk installed on Customised AU 47.2.A.10.137
I completely uninstalled Magisk, and ran the update, and it fails. It downloads all 441.8MB, I select Install and it reboots to the little green Android guy saying Verifying system update. But very quickly, it says "Restarting" and obviously the update hasn't happened. It doesn't to give any useful reason why, just says "Could not install", and prompts me to start downloading again.
Is it because I have TWRP? Do I have to do a full flash using Xperifirm? That's gonna wipe everything?
Thanks
PS: Funny enough, where the System Update installer says "You can install by computer. Read more at http://support.sonymobile.com/update, that has a bad certificate and then gives me Sorry this page is no longer available.

sorry mate but if you wish to install the update then you will need to start fresh. As for the page no longer available, that is because a lot of the Sony support for Australia documentation is gone.
