Flashing Error with Flashtool

Flava0ne · Jun 10, 2012

I was trying to flash my Xperia PLAY with Flashtool v0.8.5.0 but this error keeps coming up:

Code:

ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";"ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

Any ideas how to fix this error?

EDIT: I know what caused this error, it was because I accidentally selected the X10 FTF that Flashtool comes with when you install it.

Possibly the wrong FTF for your device, double check you have the correct one for your model

It's the correct one, I've used it before and it worked.

Probably got corrupted or something, I'm re-downloading it again and I'll see if it works.

When I load the FTF in Flashtool, none of the firmware contents are displayed, then when I click OK to begin flashing, Flashtool cancels and then automatically disconnects my device.

Were you able to have any luck yet?

Not with Flashtool, every time I tried to load the FTF, the Firmware Components aren't listed in the middle, no visible check boxes on right either, click OK, Flashtool says the the firmware is loaded and then right after it says Flashing Canceled. The pop-up window that shows you how to connect in flash mode doesn't even show up.

I thought I was screwed, because I originally un-installed a ton of stock apps including SE Home and had aftermarket replacement apps in their place, when I cleared the user data and cache through Recovery mode. My phone wouldn't even boot, I did that because I was planning on re-flashing my device anyways. I know that all I had to do was re-flash it with the stock firmware, but Flashtool just wouldn't even work for me. I even installed it on my laptop only to have it do the exact same thing, very weird.

So I purchased a few credits for 1.99 EUR on WotanServer.com and used their client to successfully flash my Xperia PLAY and now it's back up and running.

Anyone else having any issues with using Flashtool v0.8.5.0 and the R800a_2.3.4_North America Generic.ftf?

I'm just curious if I'm the only one or not who's having this problem.

I am glad to hear you have a working device again

Yeah i had that problem to!
I'm from Croatia,and i saw on change log,that some region's can't see .FTF file's middle things.So the solution for me was to download 0.6.9.1.

Flava0ne · Jun 17, 2012

If that's the reason why, then that's pretty messed up. Because the same FTF worked before on an older version of Flashtool. I just tried to Google an older version of Flashtool and there no where to be found.

try installing the driver from a earlier version of flash tool

Flava0ne · Jun 18, 2012

Can't find an earlier version of Flashtool anywhere.

Flava0ne · Jun 18, 2012

I had to re-install Windows to totally get rid of the newer Flashtool drivers. Downloaded v0.6.9.1 from the link I posted above, didn't install the v0.7.0.0 update, installed the drivers for v0.6.9.1 and was able to use it with my stock R800a_2.3.4_North America Generic.ftf firmware. I hope that helps.

wow reinstalling windows is a PITA just to flash/root a phone.

Do you still happen to have a link/mirror that works?

NVM, I go to the link from my computer instead of my phone and it works.

Well, re-installing Windows wasn't that bad for me because I usually format my computer often. I know that it could be a pain for most people who don't. But glad you were able to get the download link to work!
