Thank you for your work!

Thank you for your tests and support! We have communication success with newer device, great! I have wrote version 8, it now detects max packet size, some improvements and cleanups, tool can handle one line arguments (but allso multiple line arguments is suported too), in general it probably will work on newer device (need somebody test).

Can you write cache.sin just for test? Use one line argument like (first line is need):

Code:

xflasher    noloader   0  0  0FCE   ADDE  0  0  >xflasher.log
xflasher    cache.sin  0  0  0FCE   ADDE  0  0  >>xflasher.log

You must put cahe_BLABLxxxxxx.sin which you can extract from an ftf of the your device model and rename to cache.sin and put in the same folder with xflasher! I have reuploaded v8 because forgot to change one line, please redownload v8

Thank you!

Seems ok! cache.sin uploaded sucessfully. What happened when you got timeout?

Edit:
You have only one chance to run xflasher.bat, newer run it twice because of the first command line "noloader or loader.sin" can be run only one time, seccond line and all other lines can run many times!! See README file! In general seems xflasher is ready for newer devices. Seems that timeout happened because you run seccond time that xflasher.bat which produced timeout because noloader parameter is run seccond time. Remember, noloader parameter or loader.sin parameter can be called one time only per "reboot to bootloader" session! Thanks for your time for tests!

I will try make bat script for automating an installation (an example how xflasher can be used adwanced mode) hope in next few days

munjeni · Apr 30, 2017 at 7:14 AM

V9 is out! I didn't done scripts for xflasher with one reason - got better idea

Just use xperifirm to download firmware, than simple put xflasher.exe in the same dir with downloaded and unpacked firmware, double click xflasher.exe it will gnerate xflasher.bat file, if you no want to flash everything modify xflasher.bat for your needs, when you done put your device into flashing mode (remember flashing mode is not fastboot mode! Flashing mode is power+volume down key!), double click xflasher.bat and wait until xflasher flash firmware, done! Enjoy!

It would be great getting some callbacks

Hi thanks! Seems I need to increase global timeout like one for last packet e.g. when device verifies system.sin when that system.sin verification takes minute-two, for system.sin I have set 3 minutes max but seems I realy need to make it for everything at least to 30 sec max since 5 sec seems not enought

New version is out!

Thank you, this realy help! Diferencie between z5 and my z1c is double size of the system.sin which is on z5 a lot bigger than z1c, so definitelly timeout must be increased a lot for newer devices

Ok, it was 5 min now I set 10 min max, I have improved tool a bit, hope now everything ok, new version is out!

Froze and exited after several minutes. No dialog in command window either

Thanks! But I didn't see any error and also no timeouts now! Did it succesfully flashed? Or you interupted it?

It just stopped at where the log ends for a long time then the command window vanished. I'll try again with system only.
Edit: Let it go for 10 minutes and it quit by itself with the usual message https://pastebin.com/hKbzLJ8T @munjeni Time to format and restore my corrupted /system partition again!

Hey thanks a lot! Have no idea why device didn't sends reaply and cause timeout but I will research in next few days for timeout replace, I have missing something definitelly. Are you sure your usb cable is ok? Or maybe you moved phone which cause usb disconnection?

Used a different cable and left the phone still until command window vanished, then had a look at the log. In next day or two I will time how long FlashTool takes to flash system.sin for comparison purposes.

Ok it will help for sure. Curently I have implemented asynchronous usb bulk read/write, curently have used things based on timeouts, but probably I will need to look for error codes to see whats going on, probably I will somehow need to integrate more things into usb handle without need for using timeouts it will give xflasher better usb handling probably, when I get free brain and more free time I will try make that better, still have no idea why your z5 gets timeouts

Appreciate your help!

munjeni · May 14, 2017 at 5:49 PM

New version is out, hope it will be ok now. This is diferencie which I have done:

1. old -> https://pastebin.com/k328CgDH
2. new -> https://pastebin.com/jQgV3ygH

At least we will get error code
