Sony Flashtool/EMMA not installing

[superbrudd]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Flash Tool for Xperia devices - have tried on Windows 10 and Windows 7 - but after installation, when it is run the first time nad it is updating itself, it ens up failing and showing this message:

Sony Mobile Update Manager
Update failed! Please download and run a new install package.


After this, if I try to run Emma.exe it hangs - no window shows but the executable is still running in Task Manager.

Any ideas?

Did you follow the instructions? - http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
You have to copy "Customization.ini" file, as written - usually that's the problem...

Yes, I followed those instructions, but the error still occurs

Yes, I followed those instructions, but the error still occurs

- see if you can keep it from updating, (maybe a checkbox during installation, or a settings option)
- see if you can find a different version to install
- uninstall/reinatall
- maybe make sure you're running as admin
- if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool

Besides that, not sure. I know many people have used it successfully with those instructions.

Hi,
Thanks for suggestions. I've tried them all to no avail.
If you have a link to an alternative version, let me know. I tried 0.9.18.1 but it doesn't detect my device properly.

Sorry, didn't understand the last line of your post - "if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool"
What is "ta"? I would like to put the stock firmware back on the phone. Currently it is running Resurrection Remix.

Thanks...

Easiest thing is prf from this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...503-14-6-1-236customizedinpre-rooted-t3265543. Next easiest is probably Flashtool/Xperifirm, http://www.flashtool.net/
