Hi all,
Marshmallow is giving me all sorts of problems, but the major one is that people can't hear me while on the phone after the latest OTA update. Battery life was also significantly better on LP, and the phone felt snappier in general than it does on MM, so I would like to go back.
My phone was sold in Norway and was not locked to a carrier, but I have no idea which ROM version is used - I assume Nordic Combined.
I have been able to download 32.0.A.6.200 Customized SG and Customized AU, but the R*G numbers are different from the one available for Nordic Combined - does this make a difference? Can I use one or the other of the ones I already have downloaded and just make things work?
If I need the Nordic Combined Customized NOBA version, I'd be delighted if someone has a copy stored somewhere and would be willing to offer a download link.
Thanks in advance.

Unzip it
after unzip it is a folder containing files not .ftf

I think I have to make .ftf using this folder using flasher tool.

Hey guys, found this thread through google. Is this the official Z5C 32.0.A.6.200 version? I'm looking to upgrade to last lollipop before MM and this is what I found. I also would like the Nordic one but I want the stock rom so that I can just upgrade like it was an OTA. I don't need any add ons or root or anything like that. Have I come to the right place?

Hey, I tried following the guide you provided me and even though it says no root required I get a message while flashing "Root Acess Denied". Woot? I thought the whole point of this was that I wouldn't need root and yet it asks for it? I'm not getting something.

Hi Anthraxiousness,
Did you follow the guide on xperiablog, linked to above, in full? Have you installed all of the drivers as described there? And have you enabled 'USB debugging' on your phone? IIRC you must enable developer mode on your phone by tapping 'build number' 7 times in the 'about phone' settings. USB debugging is then available under 'developer mode' settings.

Hey, yes of course. One thing that stood out was when I installed Z5C drivers from flashtools. One of the Sony ones had a message "Not needed (no device connected)" or something. I tried twice but same nessage. Still ticked green tho. Could that be it?
Everything else was just as the guide said.
EDIT: Here's the one driver that didn't install:
Sony Net (03/19/2015 6.0.6000.16511) Not needed (No device for update present)
As I said, it was still ticked green alongside the other Z5C driver. Also installed Flashmode and Fastmode drivers.

According to this the device should be in flash mode and LED should be green. Mine stays orange (like it's just charging) and it says "Safe Mode" on the bottom left of the screen. How do I get into flash mode if not with Vol Down + USB? Tried several times but same result. Is there something that needs to be enabled in the phone?
Yes, you should enable 'USB Debugging' under Developer options

Okay, finally getting around to doing this after the phone was in for service after the microphone problem got worse and worse, to the point where nobody could hear me.
So, do I add everything from the .7z file into the .ftf I create in Flashtool, or should I exclude the .ta files?

If you're on gingerbread or lower than you should be able to unlock it again with flashtool, as far as i'm aware. Try a stock firmware flashable with flashtool, there should be some available in the x10mini pro development section of this forum.

I can't even get Flashtool to recognize it, though; it was on MiniCM10 and nAa's kernel before the accident. I have the stock ROM and kernel ready, I just.... did the wrong step first on accident.

It doesn't work; I can't even get to the bootloader unlock opinion. The "Plugins" drop-down menu is empty and fastboot gives me an error message when I try to flash anything.
I guess it's R.I.P for this phone?

I hope you meant to say flashtool, and not fastboot? our phones don't support fastboot. Always choose flashmode...
The Plugins drop-down should be empty because the ROM you're on is unsupported for the unlock-plugin.
However, you should be able to flash the stock kernel, Hold on...
This should be flashable with flashtool. I can't guarantee that it will make your phone work properly, but it will give you back the stock kernel, and possible enable you to unlock your bootloader again, or at least enable you to flash the other firmware you had lying around...

The same thing happened to my xperia mini pro (U20a) when trying to update through SEUS and the software in the pc (PC companion) crashed by performing an illegal operation(Now it is no longer recognized by seus). This result my phone turning into a brick with only a big triangle with ! mark and a phone's picture was displayed on the screen when it turned on. I have never rooted the phone or installed Xrecovery/busybox (learned about them from this forum threads only). So I was anxiously following this thread and installed Flashtool and downloaded the ftf file (220MB) specified in this thread. Then voila, the flash was successful with this and the phone switched on. Now the second level of problem starts. None of the keys ( even the power key) or touch screen responds once the phone boots up.However the SIM is responding to the incoming calls (although cannot receive them as the touch screen is not operational). The battery is 100% charged and sim signal is 100% with sd card successfully mounted . Every time I need to remove the battery to switch it off. The display is now showing current date time (in a blue background) and a lock(left) and speaker (right) icons. Everything is stalled here. Downloaded two more firmwares and bundled them(sin files) in flash tool, but none worked except this fft file.
Please help
PS I have attached the flash tool log file for this flash.
To both of you: Try Repair with PC Companion.
1. Leave the phone unplugged
2. Start PC Companion
3. Choose Support Zone
4. Choose Update
5. It can find no update because your phone is unplugged
6. Click the Repair-link it shows
7. Follow the instructions from there on.
Hope that works, if not: Download this and flash with flashtool.
Thanx for the quick reply.
I have started the pc companion and go to the repair option. However after selecting the model from the list, it started updating. Then BANG!! Again the program performed an illegal operation and shutdown by the window XP.. The entire PC screen hanged and I had to manually kill it by pressing ALT+Ctrl+Del . So it seems this method will not work in my laptop.
Downloading your FTF file and trying it in flash tool. Hope it will work.:crying:
PS: your link is now pointing to the zip file and I have tried the UK version of that already ( by building the ftf from sin files in flash tool) with no improvement. Can you give a ftf file directly like the last one ? Thanx in advance.

Renamed the file from zip to ftf and put it inside the firmwares folder under flash tool. But during firmware selection while flashing, it is not showing anything ( only your earlier ftf file is visible). Am I doing something wrong?

Did you remove the other one you flashed earlier?
Not sure what's going wrong there, it should show up...
You did restart flashtool?
If you are still there
I removed and reinstalled the flash tool. Followed the procedure discussed so far. Still it is not showing in the list.Screen shot attached. The U20 option which is showing is for your earlier ftf file (kernel_locked) and not the renamed one (however if I bundle the sin files and create the ftf by specifying build number, version etc..) it is showing. However , flushing with that made no improvement. It took sometime to respond as I was trying these.

My bandwidth for this month has ended. However I still have night unlimited facility. So I will download it at night. One more thing, when the download is handled by firefox, the file size is showing as 120 MB but in Internet Download manager, it is 213MB. What is the actual size ?
Good evening lads and lasses,
I've encountered a rather unusual issue. I am currently running CM11 4.4.2 by Munjeni on my Sola, but that's not the main focus of my problem.
Here's the story:
My girlfriend's brother needed a phone ASAP, just for a few days. I was using an iPhone at the time (yes, I know), so I was like, sure, he could have it for the time being. When I got it back, I noticed PC Companion was unable to detect any supported firmware on the phone, and could not restore or update anything (I was on the .10 ROM at the time, with .54 available). Flashtool has given me the following error ever since:
Error in processHeader: 1 : Incorrect Function
(On pretty much all versions of FlashTool, since 9.8.0)
I've verified that all of the correct drivers have been installed, and flashing kernels with fastboot still works fine. I can't flash the original ICS or GB ROMs though, and I'm stumped. I love CM, but if I buy an other phone, I want to either restore and sell this one, or restore it for use as a 2nd phone when that happens.
So, any ideas on how to proceed? It seems flashtool is out of the question to get these FTFs back on my Sola.
Extra info:
Tested on Windows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2008R2
Could be the firmware file is corrupted, try to verify with 7-Zip or other compression utility.
If you have used PC Companion with your phone before you can start repair, that will load the files and does not require the phone to be connected at all.
Once download is complete, and PCC ask you to connect in flash mode, stop it and build FTF with flashtool.

Reporting back:
I have been unable to restore my phone with the PC Companion. After some research, it has become clear that I can't restore using PCC, since my bootloader is unlocked, which isn't relockable at this point. Are there other ways to restore the phone without any existing backups? I haven't gotten around to backup the phone before it was ruined in this particular way.
The firmware files are solid, by the way.
I'd like to point this out:
Flashtool is out of the question, and so is PCC. Both programs refuse to flash this phone. Internal flashing with CWM works perfectly.

Where in my post have I said restore with PCC?
Read what I wrote carefully, follow those steps to build your own FTF to flash with flashtool.
As I've said, it is only valid if you have used the phone with PCC before and it does not neet it to be connected to repair it.
EDIT: BTW which file fails the flash with flashtool?

How is making an FTF from my current firmware going to help me? I don't want a backup of my current firmware, since I'm on Cyanogenmod.
I'll dig into it deeper, to see if I missed something, then.
Any FTF I try to flash fails with the error mentioned before:
Error in processHeader: 1 : Incorrect Function
I have been unable to bypass this error, thus have I been unable to restore using FTF files.
EDIT:
My phone can't do the things mentioned in the links for the following reasons:
I can't back up using PCC because I'm not on Sony firmware (I can't flash that, that's why this topic exists), so I can't make am FTF based on that.
I can't make my own FTF because it requires a locked bootloader. Mine is unlocked and can't be relocked currently, as far as I'm aware, which is an important requirement for that guide.
Hopefully you understand which problems I'm facing. I'm 99% stuck now, since neither PCC nor Flashtool appear to be working for me. The Sony Update Service doesn't support the Xperia Sola so that's a no too.
Have you flashed with flashtool with the PC you are using now and the same OS?
Open flashtool, connect phone in flash mode, see if it stays connected for about 45 seconds.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been rather busy this week,
It does stay in flash mode for 45 seconds, yes. The PC in question is the same as when I performed the first attempt back in the day (this occured a few months ago), not the same OS though. However, I have tested this on my laptop with Windows 7, as well as my desktop with Server 2008R2, but both yield the same results.
Any thoughts? Should I try that dinosaur called Winblows XP? Or would you suggest something else?
Thanks in advance.

So it seems there no problem with flash mode drivers.
Now open PCC, click start under support zone. click start under update phone/tablet software, click repair, continue untill if finish downloading files, exit, build FTF as described in one of the links, your files are ready, start from there.

I can't update/restore with PCC. It gives me an error that there is no software available, so it won't even bother to download files to create an FTF from. In order to use PCC, I need to have stock or stock based firmware on the phone. As soon as I attempt to flash a stock kernel + stock ROM using fastboot.exe on my pc, and CWM on the phone itself, I end up with a bricked device.
I'll try this once more once I get the chance, later today, to see if I can dig up some other results.
I suppose this is a tough one you don't see very often, here on XDA

Yes I did. If I check the blob_fs folder, I only get icon files, with a maximum file size of 10KB. It doesn't download anything when I follow your guide. When I remove the folder, it simply redownloads the images, but not the files required for the FTF.
As a reminder concerning the SEUS: No Sola support, at all, so no firmwares from there either.

Well you have said you have used it before with this phone, case which it su\ould ask you if to repair the phone you have used with it before or choose another. and if you choose phone you have used before it would download the files without asking to connect it.
I am guessing it would refuse to repair phone with unlocked bootloader, but have you connected the phone in flash mode?

Why would I connect it in flash mode? (And yes, it did show up, and I did select it, but that didn't change anything) Still, I have connected it in flash mode before, and all it says is: Nope, unsupported phone and such. I'll have to reboot to Winblows again and see what I can dig up...

I connected the phone is flash mode, I received an error that boils down to the following:
"The phone contains modified software which cannot be updated" and that's where the adventure with PCC ends.

I connected the phone is flash mode, I received an error that boils down to the following:
"The phone contains modified software which cannot be updated" and that's where the adventure with PCC ends.

Yes, that because the unlocked bootloader, you can try and see if there is a way to relock it, make sure it's a proven one.
Did you back up your ta before unlocking bootloader?

Boy do I feel like a moron. I tried the 32-bit version of Flashtool, just for the heck of it, and I successfully flashed the stock .54 ROM. It is booting as we speak. I have no clue why Flashtool64 would behave differently to regular 32-bit Flashtool, but well, my phone is back on stock, with unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for your help to this point. I will definitely give you a big thumbs up for your suggestions
Interesting, might be drivers issue.
So, here is the .84 firmware with -86 baseband for the GSM Xperia Play.
From what I see, there are a few firmware changes since .79 firmware and a baseband update. Also, some applications like the Browser and the Phonebook seem to have some changes.
Download: R800i_4.0.2.A.0.84_Vodafone_DE_(1247-8566).ftf
How to Root:
1 - Download All 3 files from this Repository: .84 Firmware Rook Kit
2 - Flash R800i_.79_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
3 - Root Phone using Eroot1.3.5.exe Tool
4 - Flash R800i_.84_Kernel.ftf using Flashtools
4 - Enjoy your .84 Rooted Firmware!
Thank you all!
Nice Man... Thanks

Method 2 ) its working, but you must change kernel from stock to--> (Lupus, doomkernel)
I could not root my 800at phone with this firmware. I am on a locked bootloader/stock kernel. ive used 2 programs to root.
try to flash .79 kernel, then root, then flash .84 kernel again, it might work.
Added Root Method to first post!
I found i file call rootxperia.zip, flashed it nthrough cwm and it worked
However, i got my flex cable mal functioned, so im saying goodbye to xpkay soon since in my place there is no way to fix it

I know it works, but you need to unlock the bootloader to do it that way
Hello all, I have a rather difficult problem due to lack of knowledge I have on the device.
I have my old Z2 which I have recovered after someone I lent it to (not me, I promise) attempted to 'fix' the root on the device. The last time I saw the device it had PhilZ recovery and a custom ROM on the device.
I got the device back again after about a year apart. First thing is first, I factory reset the device from the bootloader. Oops, now it doesn't boot into rom correctly...
Well time to flash a new rom right? I use recovery to "wipe to prepare for new rom". I attempted to flash 'ressurection remix' rom or something similar for the Z2 via sideload. Only, the bootloader refused to sideload flash because "this zip is for [insert list of z2 devices, one of which I know this phone is], but this device is a leo". Huh? Quick bit of googling and I find a thread where apparently leo means the phone thinks it is a z3? Not great.
Well maybe since we are here I should try to get the device to be running TWRP which I am more familiar with. Now I'm not exactly sure what I did here, but the Z2 really didnt like it. I think I went into fastboot/flashboot (im not sure on the difference, which is probably why it is kill), and attempted to use adb/fastboot to flash a boot.img, as well as a recovery.img, in whatever order. Nothing seemed to happen at all.
TL;DR: So onto the present situation. I am no longer able to boot into recovery. The light will flash green for a tenth of a second and then phone will die. I can however hold volume up+power+USBcablein to make the device go into bootloader?/fastboot?/flashmode? Not sure which, but my computer beeps for a connection and the Z2 has a constant blue light, with no screen. adb does not see the device, nor does fastboot, although I am updating my drivers to see if this helps.
What should I do from here? I'm not sure what flashtool is, but I think this is my next step (although every google result says something different...). I'm not sure where to download this from because all available sites look dodgy.
Device info:
It is a UK device that used the carrier ORANGE in 2015.
It was running PhilZ recovery
It was running KK ROM

The first thing you had to do before you did all that craziness, was to back to stock using flashtool. There are guides here, guides on Google, and guides on YouTube about how to using flashtool. It's very more easy than flashing a custom ROM and all that stuff. Just download the FTF KK firmware, then root, then recovery, and then download FTF of Marshmallow and you will be done.
It's been 3 days ago that you posted this. I hope you solved the problem. This is my little contribution.
Excuse my English, it's not the best.

Hi Snevil,
I havent fixed the issue yet because I really had no idea where to go from where I put myself. Do you know of a good place to download Flashtool, each link I find is either expired or seems really dodgy.?
Thanks for helping out

Newflasher doesn't work for me either.
Are you getting any error messageson NewFlasher?
Mines also from O2 UK and I'm trying to flash generic firmware.
I'm guessing we need a FSC Script for flashtool.

With the earlier Xperia phones you needed to unlock the bootloader before flashing (that you are allowed to unlock doesn't mean that your bootloader is unlocked). To unlock you need the script and the code from Sony. At the moment I don't remember where to get both (script and code). And what about DRM-keys?, is it there a TA-partition to backup before unlocking? And so on...
I uploaded an update for newflasher here: github.com/munjeni/newflasher/issues/6. Tested with J9110.

How did you use the 2 files in the patch? Just copied them to Newflasher folder and run the whole process with the new .exe file?
How many times did you get error 997? Did you redo the whole process from the beginning or did you just unplug and replug the phone while the process was running?
Thnx
New version v14 is out!
I guess you have not installed Gordon Gate driver.

Hi, it seems work, see 2 comments before end of comments -> https://github.com/munjeni/newflasher/issues/6
Noelex confirm that newflasher working. I have included all patches including on from noelex. Only which might not work (I'm believing it will work) is partition folder flashing, if you flash it please post newlfasher log (post it in neflasher thread), I need to be sure everything is right!

Hello guys,
I managed to flash my new Xperia 1 to Customized UK and EE UK firmware without problems. I didnt delete anything like .ta files etc. I just copied newflasher files to Firmware Folder, downloaded from XperiFirm and run Newflasher.exe in flash mode.
Vodafone UK carrier lock still exists after flashing though!
I am trying to get an unlock code for this from a seemingly legit site. (fingers crossed)

Download Flashtool, install it, then go to folder c:\\flashtool\drivers and install driver package, checking the first two options, flashtool and fastboot drivers. Then your mobile will be discoverable in flash mode. Shut down your phone and while turned off, keep volume down button pressed while connecting usb cable, till green light shows up
