[TOOL] Xflasher (xperia command line flasher for pre 2017 devices)
- Thread starter munjeni
- Start date
Who says that?
It worked fine on my Sony L1 (MediaTek mt6737) I just didn't have the guts to try flash the "boot area" but for system, fotakernel, boot, oem, and userdata it worked without any issues.
@goku_0729
I guess MediaTek is supported but not fully tested at the moment. The instructions are not very clear on how to use the tool correctly although there is another forum with instruction and screenshots so I will try find that tut and update this post.
I found the excellent tut by @ch3mn3y although I do wish he would post it here as I am sure the OP would link to it. :fingers-crossed:

Hey, I meet a problem.
My xperia x performance flashed xz's rom and lose bootloader.
If Xperia devices erase bootloader, it will be recognized as SOMC Flash Device, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADE0
But Xflahser will verify the hardware ID which is 0FCE:ADDE.
So I can't flash FTF via xflasher. Can you provide a version which support the hardware ID is 0FCE:ADE0 ?
Thanks !

In the xflasher.sh or .bat change the vid: and pid: to match yours
I am not certain if it will work in that mode though.

I get this error when trying to use xflasher with the C4 any Idea as to the cause?
It works well on my other MediaTek based devices.

- (ep_in) ERROR: n = -1, errno = 71 (Protocol error)
Have no idea realy, try with diferent loader.sin, to be honest I lost xflasher source code, its on another hard disk and Iforgot where it is.
That's a shame it's my go to flashing tool now.
FlashTool seemed to work just fine but I think that uses fsc to flash.
Does it have to be device specific or could I use one from the Sony XA (MT6755) which I knows works fine with xflasher.
I will experiment and see what I can come up with.
I still have not picked up the courage to flash the boot delivery yet as this is what bricked the C4 and C5's using FlashTool but I think the cause of that is the full set of TEST.sin in the boot folder.
I noticed on the Sony XA, L1 and XA1 (all mediatek) these Test.sin are not there so I wondered if FlashTool flashed these instead of the Signed.sin's
Code:

tee2_PLATFORM-MT6752-LIVE-95CE-OEM1-TEEIMG__S1-SW-LIVE-4154-PID1-0005-MMC.sin[/COLOR]Don't use sin files from diferent device, never do that, it might hard brick your device. Anyway it not going to work since all sin files is signed by "model key", model key mean key is diverent for every diferent device model. I realy can't tell you why your log have 0x00, whole with that, might be permission isue on your PC? Try run xflasher as admin and try temporary disable your firewall/antivirus

Thanks munjeni.
I won't use any other .sin files.
As for permissions I am on Linux and I need to use sudo to run xflasher for flashing on my other devices and it works great but the C4 just does not seem to respond after the initial connection and read. It says something like - (ep_in) ERROR: n = -1, errno = 1001 (device took too long to respond) I can't remember the exact errno or I get the error I posted above.
I tried various usb cables and ports but still get the same results.
If I figure it out I will let you know but it could be the loader.sin that's at fault like you said. :highfive:
BTW Do you know how to decode Sony OTA's (update_package) either on or off device?

I was interesting to decode ota but ended without done that, it was some years back, now I have no free time for that
Ok no problem just wondered if there was anything out there that I may have not found or overlooked.I was interesting to decode ota but ended without done that, it was some years back, now I have no free time for that
A lot of devices seem to use encrypted ota's now but Sony seem to have been using them for a long time as the ota I would like to decrypt is for Android 5.1
I will have a look through the fotakernel and see if I can spot anything obvious in there that deals with de-encryption. :fingers-crossed:
This might help to figure out https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068261
Source code of the xflasher is now on my git!
Xflasher.bat says
but how can I know that my device (Sony xperia X compact ) uses loader.sin or not?
I see that with this tool, the bat file created in my case refers to simlock.ta, and I've read elsewhere that this should be excluded. What to do ?
EDIT : Went ahead and flashed my Z2 Tablet using your tool here. Everything went smooth during the process, but the tablet seems to now bootloop. I get a Sony logo, followed by an Android logo, and then some blue waves (standard boot loading animation). Just before the device reboots my PC recognizes the device as "Xperia Z2 Tablet Wifi"..

Im unsure if this old tool have auto exclude for simlock as newflasher does, but for your phone safety remove simlock.ta just for make sure it not get flashed, hope this help
Thanks for your assistance! I've now let the device reboot a few times and now it makes it to the first welcome screen, but as soon as I touch the Get started button on screen or the language selection drop down the device reboots. Might have something to do with the firmware i downloaded, so i will try to get another one with XperiFirm tool
