Was there no "simlock.ta" file in this FTF, or did you remove it?

Any idea why the Rogers firmware has such a file?
I haven't seen a stock firmware that didn't have it. its not needed when making a ftf file so he may have left it out. I always leave it out as sometimes it has created issues when flashing.

On the Rogers firmware which appears nearly identical, the WiFi hotspot doesn't work with a carrier unlocked phone running on another network.

For whatever reason when I try to flash this .ftf with Flash Tool, I get an "Error Preparing Files".

I do not get this error when trying to flash with the Rogers .ftf.

I'm currently on a O2-branded UK stock ROM which has unfortunately taken away my LTE and I'd like to get back to stock Bell.

Any ideas?

What version of the FlashTool? That's the only thing I can think of.

Is anyone having problems flashing this ftf?

I have been trying to help a user who has had issues with flashtool not being able to prepare the files and I have just downloaded the ftf (And it seemed to download correctly, file had correct size) but flashtool just says null when I try to drop it into the window.

Has anyone actually flashed this recently and could the OP maybe re~upload the file again
