[TOOL] Newflasher (xperia command line flasher)

[dima_vy]

Hi!
I'm not sure, that this the right thread to ask, but, I will try my luck here also
I have xperia 5iii from UK. I live in Israel. The phone can't turn on volte. I know that xperia 1IV works in Israel fine. So the question is - can I replace modem files in firmware folder of my phone with the files from xperia 1 IV and flash it with newflasher?
Thank you

Optional step! Type 'y' and press ENTER if you need GordonGate flash driver, or type 'n' to skip. This creates GordonGate.7z archive in the same dir with newflasher.exe!

Device path: \\?\usb#vid_efce&pid_beeb#5&3b19be35&0&2#{a5dcbf18-6530-11d2-901f-80c84fb951ed} Class Description: libusb-win32 devices

Optional step! Type 'y' and press ENTER if you want dump trim area, or type 'n' and press ENTER to skip. Do in mind this doesn't dump drm key since sake authentifiction is need for that! n

Optional step! Type 'y' and press ENTER if you need to flash bootloader, bluetooth, dsp,modem, rdimage to booth a,b slots, or type 'n' to skip. By default it is NOT flashed to booth slots, do on your own risk!

y - Error write! Need nBytes: 9x18 but done: exe nBytes [exe]:

End. You can disconnect your device when you close newflasher.exe Press any key to continue

You need to install gordongate usb drivers which you can install by folowing newflasher window text! In case you have compiled newflasher by yourself do in mind newflasher not use libusb!

You can't! Every model have its own signed fw which you can't use from another model, it simply will not flash at all, in worst case you might hard brick your device!

Is it possible to relock bootloader? I want my Xperia Pro 5g to be completely stock again. Is this possible once the bootloader was unlocked?

Can someone please guide me step by step on how to relock bootloader? I unlocked it a few months back and installed an older firmware. Now I just want to lock the bootloader and get the latest firmware and ota updates, and just have the phone back to stock. I completely forgot the process.

I'm willing to pay someone to help me out if possible. It shouldn't take too long. I will lock bootloader, then repair with xperia companion to get DRM back. I just dont know where to begin.

What say "lsusb" command? Device is in flash mode or in fastboot mode?

Thank you. Now that I know the difference between 'flash mode' and 'fastboot mode', NewFlasher can flash the vendor ROM when the device is in 'flash mode'.

I hope that helps you too, @JohnnyJEL.

Man use Google and search for that, there is a ton of sites shares that info, diferencie is only "does my devices can be relocked", thats what you need to know first! For example I have Xperia 10 and I have unlocked bootloader but until I figured that I can't relock my bootloader it was too late since I was in hurry to unlock bootloader and later figured out that I can't relock bootloader. Just search about that thing first! Procedure for relocking bootloader is the same for all Xperia devices, main diferencie is not all device have feature "relock bootloader". So just search for example "how to rellock bootloader on Xperia" trought Google and you will get info for sure for step by step guide.

SOMC Flash device has CODE 10 error in device manager even after installing gordongate from newflasher. Spent the last 2 days looking it up but found nothing. Enters flash mode but isnt recognised by the system.

Not really?
Relocking through reflashing the original TA was always possible until XZP/XZ1.
Then somehow it didn't work anymore (alas I don't remember the details, again)
Last but not least, since ~X1 (as you know?) not only TA restoring is good, but oem lock should also be a thing.

J4nn and me analysed that things detaily, there is some keys inside rpmb which we sucesfully dumped, and we found that if you restore TA it didn't restore key in rpmb! If I remembered right key from rpmb when XOR with key from some ta unit (didn't rebember) match key from unit 66667. What is used for key from rpmb I realy didn't remembered. In general device is not the same like when device was factory locked, and what problems can we get because of missing key from rpmb I don't know. To be honest I don't care anymore, its not my hobby for a long time.

hello, mr. munjeni. I really thank you for the project you created. Sorry, I also read the thread discussing bootloader unlock: no and your comment was in there. Maybe this file can help you. This file contains ".dll" which can hack username and password of s1 networktool. It worked 2 years ago for my sony xperia and changed bootloader to yes. Now unusable. Maybe you can update or create a new ".dll" so it can be reused. Thank you.

Sorry for the bad english.

Hi guys, I put newflasher and its files with the extracted tft files in the same directory, my phone is detected but I get this error.

update.xml not exist in current folder!

update.xml not exist in current folder!

Reboot mode at the end of flashing:
type 'a' for reboot to android, type 'f' for reboot to fastboot, type 's' for reboot to same mode, type 'p' for poweroff, and press ENTER.

Thats not error but warning! Without update.xml you wouldn't be abble to keep userdata, instead an clean installation. Clean installation is always prefered!

That not working for free, and that can't be cracked, these app reguire paid credits to get unlock code from the remote server.

Just folow carefully what newflasher window tell you

Hi munjeni!
I want to thank you very much for your tool because it just saved my G8341 which was stuck in a bootloop. Impossible to flash it with Flashtool so thanks again!
FYI, I unlocked the bootloader on my XZ1 years ago and I want to relock it but I still didn't succeed to do it.
I'll keep you updated guys if I have any chance with doing the thing.
Sorry for my bad english

Xz1 do not have bootloader lock feature as like my xperia 10 also don't, you can't lock bootader if you have unlocked it

 

[Traace]

Newflasher is refusing to flash anything to my phone at all... while Flashtool can. What is going on?

Steps I followed:

Optional Step 1: Installed the drivers

Step 1: Downloaded the right firmware and placed newflasher.exe into the Firmware Directory next to .ta , .sin, boot, partition

Step 2: Put phone in Flash Mode, connected it to the pc and start newflasher.exe

Wait Wait Wait but nothing happens at all. Not after 2 min, not after 5 min, not after 20 min, never...
