for some reason your tool dose not work when i try to flash my phone with it.
Windows version? Installed flastool drivers? If you are on Windows > XP you must run tool as administrator...! What is a error mesage? If tool have problem with Windows permissions than you can run s1tool directly as admin from your desktop folder caled fw, all packages is extracted to these folder so you can flash your phone without using my tool, tool is just helper application! :)

Here is the log file..thank
First of all, if you bricked your TRIM AREA you must know there is no way to repair your phone (you can repair but without my help, since I have no idea how you can inject your ta backup into an sin format, sin files is signed and nobody can modify them, so there is no way to make sin file of your TA.backup).

Seccond, is your phone model realy Sony Xperia Z1 Compact? Check that! This files is for Z1C only!

If your phone is not TA bricked than there is a chance to repair them. Probably usb drivers is missing or something, I have no idea by now. Enter your phone without battery into test point mode, double check in your windows pc device manager in section "universal serial bus controllers" something like sony flash device, double click on them and see in section "device instance id" what is pci/ven and dev and let me know(allso let me know if there is warning triangle about missing drivers). Your phone must be propertly detected by your pc and you must see them propertly in device manager! If there is a yellow triangle than probably usb drivers is not installed corectly.

Please someone help my Z.
Just add files into ZIP archive and rename zip archive to SIN_FILE_SET :) You must add update.xml file into zip if you using folowing files (probably other sin files need to be in update.xml but I do't know what xml tags is for other files):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<UPDATE>
  <NOERASE>apps_log_S1-SW-LIVE-6732-PID1-0005-MMC.sin</NOERASE>
  <SYSTEMPARTITIONIMAGE>partition-image_S1-SW-LIVE-6732-PID1-0005-MBR.sin</SYSTEMPARTITIONIMAGE>
  <BOOT>boot.zip</BOOT>
</UPDATE>
boot folder compress into boot.zip and allso add to the package (or remove boot line from update.xml. DO NOT FLASH simlock.ta since you will break your mobile network (if something goes wrong you will hard brick your phone, only jtag will be able to repair them)... my sugestion is skip all ta files if you do not know what you have doing!

Hello munjeni! Thank you for your great contribution and all your work. I'm mostly following your threads (because I own Z1c) and I can't find thread about s1 bootloader.... I wanted to ask is there any hope for unlocking bootloader with status NO?

From which carrier do you have your phone? I have from orange and find thread that in orange center I can force employer to unlock bootloader and I have status no in my case. Tomorrow I check this because android is in free licence and if I cannot unlock my bootloader I can't use every option of pure android and can't avoid my sony warranty with this argument orange have to change status of bootloader. I will check this
And s1 thread is in cross Sony development
