Don't solder anything - just connecting the two for a second or two.

Tool for converting TA.img to TA_unbrick.SYN_FILE_SET

Since I bricked my TA I was not able to repair TA by using gdfs, do not know why, but I created tool for unbricking TA partition, TA backup is required to get tool working! Here is tool for all who have TA.img and bricked TA partition inside phone, tool will convert your TA.img to TA_unbrick.SIN_FILE_SET so you can easily repair your TA partition and flash the rest of firmware, enjoy! Windows 32 bit is required!

How to use:
- put TA.img to the same folder
- run ta_gen.bat

Hi, i've a TA.img backup for my SO-02F
convert with your tools, now i've got 01.ta & 02.ta
i don't see any TA_unbrick.SIN_FILE_SET as you mentioned, or i miss something
thanks & regards

--EDIT--
Done it... on Win10 64bit, don't use ta_gen.exe, just double click ta_gen.bat

hard brick solved

Hi...I'm new in Sony device. I have Z1 C6903 (SO-01F) hardbrick after root n flash dualrecovery. First, I've got bootstall, just sony logo appears en nothing happens.
When I plug the charger my Z1 didn't show any sign, just sony logo. I still plug the charger into my Z1 for about a day hoping it would charge but still nothing happen en suddenly my Z1 got dead blank screen, no sony logo appears again. Try to push the button power, vol up/down, hard reset but still no sign, no vibrate, no led blinking.
I tried to use flashtool but my pc can't detect the Z1.

Then I follow all the steps from this thread. Everything goes smoothly en I'm successful to flash APP in MSM8974 EMERGENCY.
But when I push power on the Z1 still nothing happen, no vibrate, no sign, no led blink.

I tried to change the battery with a new one and suddenly sony logo appears, and 3 times vibrate when I push power + vol up.
I immediately flashing .ftf firmware with flashtool, and finally my lovely Z1 can alive again.

Greatest thanks to Doom Slayer, the_laser, [NUT], and all the member here for this very helping tutorial and tools

Helllllllllllpp Brothers

C6806 GPE Hard Brick BY Flashing FTF With Flashtool

Only Red Led For 2 Second Nothing At all.

1.Pc Detect it as SEMC Device Without and With Testpoint and battery Connecting.

2.FlashTool Detect it As Usb Debuging off Device.

3.S1 Tools in Emergency Mode 8974 mode.

1 Phone In Emergency Mode-> S1 Emergency8974->Flash->Selecting FIle C6806 Sin_File_Set-> Pressing Test Point Ready -> Connecting Test Point And Connecting UsB Cabel

(will use Sahara protocol ...
REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"

PROCESSING ...
SERIAL NUMBER : D3509202
HARDWARE ID : 04000100E1007B00
PRODUCT DETECTED: "MSM8974 OEM1 fused"
HASH94D75DEA38267870ADBAF0B2ED3DB3EAEE3AC37C55D7BBB26FB57DB9F0703EBC NOT SUPPORTED
Elapsed:12 secs.)

2 Phone In Emergency Mode-> S1 Emergency8974->Flash->Selecting FIle C6806 Sin_File_Set-> Pressing Test Point Ready ->Test Point Not Connected Just Connecting Usb Cabel
will use DLOAD protocol ...
qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start.

Phone In Emergency Mode Mean Hint: Now you can enable emergency mode in your phone, so next steps will be easier to do. To do that remove battery, connect testpoint to GND, insert battery, press power on button, disconnect testpoint. Now your phone is in emergency mode.(http://sony.yt/topic/7293-english-t...oot-in-sony-xperia-z-ultra-c6802-c6806-c6833/)

For everybody who is asking about a hard bricked Z1S :

I revived a completely dead Z1S using this guide. The phone had no flashboot, fastboot, no blinking led, no nothing.
First, I use the s1 flashtool with the C6903 package, that allowed me to enable the charging mode in the phone. Then I charged it to 100%.
Then, I used the Flashtool (Sony mobile flasher by Androxyde) with XperiFirm to flash the .137 firmware.

Then I rebooted the phone and it worked !!!!

Now, another important thing, the testpoint for the Z1S is indicated in the attachment.

Wait, how did you connect your phone to your pc? when i connect mine my pc won't detect it

razek666 · Oct 16, 2016

I followed the steps in the guide.
Remove the battery, apply testpoint, and connect
