Flashtool 0.9.13.0

This is the latest Flashtool 0.9.13.0:
Download here: http://ul.to/sb8cfqyr
Flashtool is a S1 flashing software that works for all Sony phones from X10 to Xperia Z Ultra. They all use the S1 protocol for flashing firmwares.
This program was originally made to flash sin files downloaded by SEUS or PCC. From time to time, sin files have been bundled into what is now well known FTF (Flash Tool Firmwares). That is the core of Flashtool and the reason of its name.
Flashtool can also easily unlock the bootloader of the phone using the BLU icon as far as the bootloader of your phone is unlockable
The flashing feature as well as bootloader unlock feature are available whatever the phone is recognized or not by the application. What is only mandatory for flashing is to own the FTF file according to the device you want to flash it on.
Why should I use flashtool ?
Once bootloader unlocked, official sony tools do not work anymore.
Using official sony tools, you can only upgrade. No downgrade possible.
Using flashtool, you can choose what to flash and what not to flash. This said, many rooting scenarios are available implying kernel only downgrade to retrieve a patched rooting exploit and then flash back the right kernel.
You said unlocking bootloader ?
This process gives you the opportunity to flash custom roms such as CyanogenMod ROMs.
I invite you to visit the FXP Project that brings CM to xperia devices.
Many other features have been built-in so that Flashtool can also be used to (as far as the phone is recognized by Flashtool) :
Root your phone
Install recovery, busybox, custom kernels
Clean your rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
Clear dalvik cache
Optimize (install of JIT v2) (plugin for 2.1 phones only from 2010 line)
Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
Edit any text file on the device
Rebrand your device

Will it work with a german SGP312 device? Which branding is it?
Thankx

Thanks for the files, updated my TabZ nicely

Any ideas how i would go about achieving this on an sgp311. where to i obtain/create the files?

SGP312U1/B
Hi! I recently bought myself a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (SGP312U1/B). Any ideas on how to root it?
I have never had a Xperia device before so I'm not familiar with the way of rooting them.
Anyone that could perhaps tell me step by step on how to root it with Supersu or make/link a youtube video that tells me exactly what to do?
I will highly appreciate the help and so will others.

[STOCK][ROOT] Step-by-Step to rooted Lollipop 14.5.A.0.270 (locked bootloader)

Hey guys,
I jumped through several threads here until i found all steps needed to get my Z1 compact D5503 from my rooted KitKat 14.4.A.0.108 to a rooted 14.5.A.0.270,
[paranoia] without the need to install a firmware that someone manipulated for evil purposes[/paranoia]
In the end it was quite easy. I documented the steps - mostly for myself - and maybe someone can benefit from that.
No warranty, that it works the same flawless way for you or for any other Xperia model than Z1 compact D5503 (though it should...).
So just proceed with the steps if you know about the possible risks of killing your phone
If you find any mistakes please drop me a line...
For a cleaned up version go here - thanks
This brings your Z1 compact D5503 from a rooted 14.5.A.0.108 to a rooted 14.5.A.0.270 without any dataloss
User @codified also successfully updated a 14.4.A.0.157 with these steps (see here)
Just upgraded to 14.6.A.0.368 from 14.5.A.0.270 with these steps. Works like charm. And @JarrB reports success on upgrading from 14.4.A.0.157 to 14.6.A.0.368
Pre-requs:
- MS Windows - sorry, I don't do linuxes
- Xperia (Z1 compact) device stock(?) KitKat rooted (Newroot worked just fine without unlocking the boot loader )
- some custom recovery, the fancy dual recovery works just fine, install from rooted kitkat (dual recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/) - the installer.zip! not the flashable.zip
Tools needed:
- FlashTool: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
- XPeriFirm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 ahh no longer needed as separate download, as it's integrated in FlashTool now
- PRFCreator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
Part 1: get a FTF file of the desired firmware
See also: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
UPDATED THIS PART - thanks to user codified
Open FlashTool and start XperiFirm (XF-button)
Download .270 (or .283/.368 if available) firmware with XperiFirm with auto-unpack (I chose to use the same carrier branded version that .108 was - USE Generic LAM for an unbranded version)
Have two cups of coffee - or tea if you prefer that
The .ftf is now in your .flashtool\firmwares subfolder
Original steps
Open FlashTool and start XperiFirm (XF-button)
Download .270 firmware with XperiFirm () with auto-unpack (I chose to use the same carrier branded version that .108 was)
Use FlashTool Bundle->Create
Select unpacked firmware path
Select Device From list
Add your branding info: Vodafone DE
add firmware version: 14.5.A.0.270
add all but the .ta files to the right listview
DELETE the fwinfo.xml in unpacked firmware folder THIS SEEMS TO BE ESSENTIAL - didn't dare to keep it
create
done. --> ftf file is in configured user home: C:\Users\USERNAME\.flashTool
Part 2: get your pre-rooted ftf file
Download latest SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu or the also as well/better working reported beta 2.49
Open PRFCreator
add D5503_14.5.A.0.270_Vodafone DE.ftf the .tft file you just created in part 1 as ftf file
add UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip as supersu zip
not needed, but also not wrong: add Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip as recovery (dual recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/)
check all checkboxes, but the "sign zip"
maybe add extra zip
create
done. --> find flashable-prerooted.zip in PRFCreator folder
Part 3: flash your zip
nandroid-backup your phone
have 3 big cups of coffee - please, no tea at this step
get really nervous
wipe dalvik and cache only to get a better feeling
try dirty flash the new firmware with the pre-rooted zip via Recovery, not using Flashtool (OTA is also applied dirty, isn't it?)
whoa, flashing was fast
wipe dalvik and cache again. Could help prevent the unpredicted... could it?
AAAAHHH! booting takes so looohoooooong
Yeah! 386 Apps getting optimized...
looks good
hu? NFC firware update? OK. Go on.
Update for Google play services? YES. Go on.
done. --> be a happy Z1-compact-with-rooted-Android-5.0.2-user
totally optional part 4: Xposed
Now go on and install Xposed for Lollipop v69+ and hope for the best
rubbish! forget it for now, as it is bootlooping :/
done. --> still be a happy Z1-compact-with-rooted-Android-5.0.2-user with Xposed
regards!

done exactly this... rocking LP now

good to read, ltcdata! Happy I could provide sth. useful

While it optimizes the 327 apps in my case, I am wondering at what stage of the process does the firmware get rooted? Or is what is downloaded by Xperifirm already rooted? Very good guide BTW. Seems to go okay as long as you read everything carefully and in the right order. Thanks.

@nagusia thanks for liking my very first guide
Basically the root magic happens in part2 no 8 (pressing the create button in PRFCreator ):
PRFCreator unpacks the unrooted original stock fimrware that XPeriFirm downloaded and stuffs it into a new archive together with SuperSu and the other ZIPs you maybe added.
Code for that can be review in Job.cs at the projects GitHub repo: github.com/dosomder/PRFCreator (I'm still not allow to post outside-links here).
Pretty simple in the end...

I had a problem with charging reaching 89% and then the led randomly blinking. I did a restore to KitKat and there wasn't a problem. Then I thought I'd try flashing another of the DE generic pre-rooted roms posted on this forum. Here is where my problems started. It would get a upgrading - starting apps and then reboot. I tried making my own DE customized rom and the same problem. Then I went back to my orginal UK customized rom and ..... same problem. Finally did a factory reset in recovery and now it seems all good. I don't don't if I still have the charging issue yet. I have a theory that a dirty flash is OK the firs time, but a clean flash or factory reset after subsequent flashes may be necessary.

Dirty flashed from .242 to .270, without losing data. Only had to re-flash the Xposed alpha 4 zip (xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip). It probably saves more time to just add this zip during part 2, step 7...
Thanks a lot for the guide.

Sweet guide dude. but I had trouble finding my region's KitKat firmware and downloading then rooting again seems like so much of a hassle so I did it the dirty way. Beware that this is very RISKY! I first downloaded Kingroot and rooted my device successfully, then installed NUT Recovery Installer version and installed TWRP via PC, then try to remove Kingroot using this guide. Thereafter, I followed your guide sans the flash KitKat step. And it works, Bootloader is still Unlocked. Thanks a lot dude!

The method is not at all risky, as long as You use the proper files!
Also, many people don't prefer using Kingroot as it is said that it shares Your phone information (like IMEI number) to some servers.
Hopefully You meant locked bootloader in last sentence!

Actually by risky, I meant that part, you'll never know what Kingroot does, lol. Oh right, I meant the bootloader stays locked.

I already have updated to .270 via sony companion. Can I follow these same steps and replace current .270 with rooted .270?

@jooxxo
No, you need a custom recovery (root) to flash the resulting .zip file.

ok... well I took a nandroid backup of my kitkat (rooted & recovery obviously) before updating to .270 lollipop. If I restore that backup, will it restore recovery as well?
edit: I just dont want to lose all my apps & settings.

Any way to root if 5.0 is already on my phone?
Locked bootloader.

If You restore Your KitKat nandroid over backup (assuming the backup consists of system and data partitions), then it will cause You problems. The easiest way to keep Your apps and data is backing up them with an app since You are rooted, and then restoring them using the same app to restore apps and data on Lollipop. Don't use the Sony backup app, KitKat backups don't work on Lollipop. ALso to get a recovery after Lollipop, just simply install the XDualZRecovery.

from xperiablog net:
Xperia Z1 Compact sees new firmware (14.5.A.0.283) for carriers in Austria and Germany
by XB on 16/06/2015
in FIRMWARE, XPERIA Z1
Xperia Z1 Compact. A new firmware update with build number 14.5.A.0.283 has been released for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503). The update has so far only been released for T-Mobile Austria and Telekom.de in Germany. However, users on these carriers were still rocking Android KitKat (14.4.A.0.157), so this update brings them a first taste of Android Lollipop. It is unclear whether this ‘283’ firmware will see a global release, the same build number has also been certified for the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra, although those updates are not live right now.

Thanks for the info, kalaja Much appreciated.

[Guide] Rooting and unlocking bootloader (bonus) back up DRM

Hi Everyone.I see some members are new to Sony phones and some to unlocked boot loader.So here is a simple guide.
BTW I'm not the developer of any of these methods.that's why I won't post any links for downloads and will redirect you to original threads.
Do it at your own risk
So let's begin.You have either updated your Z5 to MM or still on LP.
.First step is to flash a kernel that can be rooted.If your Kernel is older than december then you are good to go.If not follow these steps.
1.Download the latest Flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
2.Download 32.0.A.6.200 or any older build for your Z5.(pay attention to download the right firmware. for example you may have E6633 or E6653)
3.Flash it and power on your phone.
4.Download Iovyroot and use it to back up your DRM key.(don't forget to enable USB debugging)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597
5.Copy your DRM keys to a safe back up.(warning:never try to flash another handsets DRM key or you will hardbrick your phone)
6.Update back to MM.You can use Sony PC companion to update if you have Locked bootloader or simply download and flash your latest FTF file
7.Unlock your bootloader now.request keys from here.follow the guide
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/start-unlocking-your-boot-loader/
8.Now to keep your DRM intact and have root and xposed this is the best choice.Download this tool and patch your kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
9.after patching your kernel with your own TA back up just power down your phone.press and hold volume up while plugging USB cable to PC to go to fastboot mode.
10.use this command to flash your new kernel
fastboot flash boot boot.img
11.Download latest SuperSu zip and copy it to your phone or memory card
http://www.supersuroot.com/download.html
12.restart your handset.Keep pressing volume up to go to TWRP recovery.Flash the superSU zip.Now you are rooted with locked bootloader
13.(optional)download and flash Xposed zip http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/

Fix camera apps FC after updating xposed.
connect your phone to PC with usb.(USB debugging must be on).open ADB shell ans type SU
grant superuser permission to ADB then copy and paste this to ADB and press enter.that's it
/system/bin/dex2oat --runtime-arg -classpath --runtime-arg /system/framework/XposedBridge.jar --instruction-set=arm --instruction-set-features=smp,div,atomic_ldrd_strd --runtime-arg -Xnorelocate --boot-image=/system/framework/boot.art --runtime-arg -Xms64m --runtime-arg -Xmx512m --instruction-set-variant=cortex-a53 --instruction-set-features=default --dex-file=/system/priv-app/CameraCommon/oat/arm/CameraCommon.odex --oat-file=/data/dalvik-cache/arm/[email protected]@[email protected]@classes.dex

Is this really working?

many many thanks josephnero.
I've experience with other devices but I find Xperia rooting quite confusing.
Any chance you can also post a brief tutorial on how to return full stock with locked bootloader after having rooted the device?
So we can use OTA updates again.
I suppose it should be:
1) full wipe
2) flash stock rom with flashtool
3) use Iovyroot tool to restore TA (this should automatically relock BL)
but not sure.

In step 12. You got root with locked bootloader? I don't think so cause any modification in kernel required to have unlock bootloader if not phone got boot loop or won't boot at all

Remember this is not a custom kernel.It's your own stock kernel just RIC and Dm protection patched
After step 10 you have locked bootloader with a patched Kernel and recovery.no DM variety to stop root afterwards

When I will be rooted I don't think I'll need to "flash the same firmware that I used to back up TA" to restore TA and go back to stock & unrooted.
There will be no need to use an exploit to restore TA.
It will be just a matter of :
dd if=TA.img of=....
and then flash lastest stock ROM.
am I wrong ?

If I made a Backup on my Unrooted Z5 MM. 163 with Xperia Backup in settings.
I downgrade. Root my Z5 etc. Update to.. 163 again.
Unlock Bootloader, then Root.
Can I restore that Backup?
Or might that not work?

This tutorial works and I used it some days ago.
But when you flash kernel with your Ta and Sony release update you must unlock bootloader and wiping system once again to flash new kernel. Update via ota is not recomended. Of course we can flash firmware without kernel in Flashtool, but when I tried mobile notify that new update from .185 to 185 is ready....

I currently have (had ) UB and root on .163 MM, today decided to update and LB follow this guide.
I download and flash .185 MM via flashtool (without wipes), in meanwhile I unpack kernel from stock .185 and patched it with my TAbackup.img After flash I disconnect usb cable, don't reboot system, pluged again in fastboot mode, open cmd window with adb, pushed patched with my TA backup stock .185 kernel and latest twrp, next i start device and don't let them start fully but first go to recovery, in twrp choose reboot recovery and after that flash latest root package. Then reboot system and everything works exellent.
Now if i think correctly I have latest MM with UB and stock kernel with my DRM and ofcourse root.

So can we flash kernel from fastboot in current state?I don't think so because our BL is locked now.did you use patched kernel before update or did you have unlocked BL?
