Help me please! Sony Xperia XZ SO-01j

[almeister41]

Hello XDA Dev community!

I'm new and I have heard good reviews about this site. I hope you could help me with my problem. I managed to buy an Xperia XZ So-01J model locked to NTT Docomo then got it unlocked thru a code. I need to flash it to a generic stock rom but I keep getting the partition.sin error and soft bricking my device in the process. If I tick partition.sin in the "exclude" category, a new error comes up again from the .sin files. Am I missing something here? I'm new to the whole Xperia game but I got a little knowledge about it epecially with Flashtool. I used to be a Samsung user and have never encountered something like this flashing roms using odin and a custom recovery.

model: Sony Xperia XZ SO-01J
39.0.B.0.361
NTT DoCoMo

Answers are highly appreciated! Thank you

Dear are you using latest xperia flashtool which use fsc script. I think you are using old flashtool. Also check drivers are cirrectly installed. Signature verification should be off in window.

Thank you for the quick reply! I'm using Flashtool 0.9.23.1 .. I will try to re-install the drivers see if that works. Thank you again

Welcome dear.
Use 0.9.23.2 if possible. Put off the signature verification in window. Turn off antivirus. Dont plug any other device in usb port.
Installed drivers from driver folder of flashtool.

Tried everything you stated and sadly it doesnt work as well. Maybe there isn't a way to flash SO-01J to a generic rom. :crying:

Yes it's looking that. I also search for your probpem nut nothing is found. Can your model fall in f8331 aur f8332 category. Otherwise contact with androplus, a great developer in xperia software.

It's a single sim phone. so It falls under F8331. Thank you @faizanfaizan for all your help!

If it's f8331 then just install boot image from androplus through fastboot and then install recovery through fastboot and install custom rom.

Responses are still very much appreciated. I still have hope the SO-01J can be flashed with a generic ROM.

[tiennh1408]

Did you flash the international ROM? Or still use Docomo 6.0.1?

 

[alfalahokdinda]

same problem here , i try to flash 41.3.A.2.24 AU on my Sony Xperia XZ SO-01J but it always appear error at all sin files start from partition.sin
anyone have solve this problem?

 

[@followaryy]

AFAIK you cannot flash that file to that device.

 

[pijes]

you can't flash other rom into this phone, it only accept docomo rom. the bootloader is locked and it's not unlockable (as far as I know unless docomo allows it or someone managed to find a way). so I did the next best thing, by removing some of the docomo apps through adb. I also removed some Sony apps like Xperia Tips and Whats New and a few others (facebook etc). battery life has been better since less things running in the background now, free RAM is around 1gb though I don't play games at all.
