[TOOL/ZL] [UPDATE 06/04/2013] Flashtool version 0.9.11.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac

[Androxyde]

Here is the final version of Flashtool, compatible with Z/ZL

To clarify about bootloader unlock/relock :

Q : Can Flashtool unlock bootloader for a first time unlock ?
A : Yes, it does it using official sony method (get key, then issue the right fastboot command)

Q : Can Flashtool relock bootloader ?
A : Yes

Q : Can Flashtool unlock bootloader after a relock ?
A : Yes.

With this release, before unlocking first time, root your device and you will be able to backup your TA partition (Raw ta backup). By doing this, you will be able to relock / restore your TA partition and have back BE2 and all DRM keys.

Happy flashing

Any pointers on the Linux/ubuntu procedure?

Dowload it then uncompress/untar it. Then open a terminal and cd to extracted folder. Then type ./Flashtool

Flashtool error message for phone stuck in bootloop

Hi,

I edited the build.prop on my ZL (fiddled around with manufacturer and model props), and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. It gets to the Sony logo, but then reboots itself in a loop

--> ADB doesn't work, the phone doesn't boot "far enough". I can get the phone into flashmode (altough green light is not on) and in Fastboot mode (blue light is on).

When I put it into Flash mode and try to flash it using Flashtool Beta 4, I get the following message:

12/057/2013 21:57:07 - INFO - Phone ready for flashmode operations.
12/057/2013 21:57:07 - INFO - Current device : Unknown: Feb 28 2013/16:15:54 - EP730522BH - Unknown: Feb 28 2013/16:15:54 - 1266-7597_10.1.A.1.434 - Unknown: Feb 28 2013/16:15:54

12/057/2013 21:57:07 - ERROR - No loader found for this device
12/057/2013 21:57:07 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

Last but not least, PC Companion says that it doesn't recognize my phone - probably for the same reason like Flashtool (I must have messed up some central value in build.prop)

So, no ADB to push a clean build.prop, no Flashtool to flash fresh firmware - any idea why Flashtool gives the above error? Or is there a way to bypass the model check and tell Flashtool what loader to use (it's the C6502 model of the ZL)

I'm thankful for every hint.

Hmmm... Maybe fastboot flash doomloards custom stock kernel, then try again? The error msg sounds like it can't find your boot.img.

Thats the only thing I can think to suggest...

Hmm, looks like my problem has been solved - I initially tried to only flash the system partition, and that didn't work. Then I flashed the whole package, and now this worked...

Get beta5 and apply this update (see attached file). Just replace beta5 x10flasher.jar with this update.

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my zl 6506 and I keep getting Error : Drivers need to be installed for connected device
Error : you can find them in the drivers folder of flashtool

When I do look I don't see drivers for the ZL listed. I see the Z drivers listed. I did install the Zz drivers but still get same errors

I have windows 8. I tried unlocking it by Sony's way but I can't get ADB manager to open so Im trying this

I am using that version

Beta6 sure ? This issue has been resolved in Beta6 normally. When no loader found, FT prompts the user with the devices list to choose manually the connected one.
