May be it's beacuse Companion works from installed roms (updating), and Xperifirm reads the roms that are complete standalone from sony servers. So, when the new (updating) roms will be released as Standalone ROM'S, they will be available on the same source that Xperifirm reads. To soon to complaint.
[TOOL] XperiFirm ~ Xperia Firmware Downloader [v5.4.0]
- Thread starter IgorEisberg
- Start date
The best way is to sniff the URL where pc-companion gets latest firmwares which are not seen in XperiFirm.
Nothing to sniff. It gets the new data from the same server Emma gets them, only using PC Companion's account. It uses POST requests and the dialog between the client and the server is done with Java objects. XperiFirm already implements Java object deserializer, but now I need to write a Java object serializer (to send requests).
Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to fix the problem without actually having a device that uses the new protocol to constantly test on, I still have my Xperia Z1, and unless it starts to use the new protocol in the future I won't be able to do anything 'till then.
Yes as far as I know. Also might be Z3 Tablet.
Possibly also C5 (which isn't on the old servers) and possibly M5, not sure.
Just in the last few days 5.1.1 arrived for Z1 for Brazil (C6943) in the old way, so that method is still being used. Still not sure how the new way works because I need an actual device. Simple packet sniffing didn't give anything useful.
Also a new firmware was released today for M4 Aqua, also available on XperiFirm.

I've seen these JSON files but still can't find their origin. What I do know is that they are not downloaded, they are generated by the Update Engine after retrieving them as Java objects. Still it required research I cannot perform remotely.
So, in XperiFirm no longer appear new Z3 compact firmware, 23.4.A.0.580 appear only as the last. Same for series Z2. Can you fix it? I can help you?
A user named @OtaruM sent me a Fiddler report file made with his SGP511. This report has EVERYTHING I need to update XperiFirm to Sony's API v2.
It has nothing to do with direct file streaming after all, and it will not take too long to fix XperiFirm.
Please send huge gratitude to this guy.

"Fix" is actually the wrong word. The right one is "update". That's because XperiFirm is not broken, it's just not updated for API 2 for specific devices.Good news :good:
We are looking forward to fixed version
The devices that are using API 2 are (including Chinese variants, but NOT Japanese variants):
Code:
Xperia Z5 Compact
Xperia Z5
Xperia Z3+
Xperia Z3 Compact
Xperia Z3v
Xperia Z3
Xperia Z2a
Xperia Z2
Xperia C5 Ultra
Xperia C4
Xperia M5
Xperia E1
Xperia C
Xperia Z4 Tablet
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
Xperia Z2 Tablet

I was correcting myself as well xDOk, sorry, of course updated
I just came from these your words
Glad to hear that was helpful. Hoping to see updated Xperifirm soon
What OS were you using with Fiddler ? .NET2 or .NET4 release ?Glad to hear that was helpful. Hoping to see updated Xperifirm soon
I tried to use fiddler and PCC was stuck at the preparation stage. Without fiddler running, preparation stage longs few minutes only
What options did you use in Fiddler ?
I've experience the same issue. PCC is downloading bunch of product icons from HTTPS and it takes quite a long time, this is around last quarter of Preparation status.
I'm using WinXP with Fiddler2 to trace. HTTPS decryption enabled. For this to work you need to import Fiddlers cert into keystore and feed this keystore to Update Engine java machine.
Here's the excerpt I've added to Sony Mobile Update Engine.ini
Code:
-DproxySet=true
-DproxyHost=127.0.0.1
-DproxyPort=8888
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\FiddlerKeyStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=******Everything goes well so far. I know how to initialize a download and how to extract the downloaded files, so it shouldn't take more than a few days.
By the way, when porting some stuff from the leaked Z5 Compact firmware, I stumbled upon a check for a package that doesn't exist yet.
The package is "com.sonymobile.fontselector". I think Sony wants to surprise us with a Font Changer in future updates.

Not much longer, I'm hoping to finish it by tomorrow evening.
