Manual upgrade from Android 9 to 10 flashing problem - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

Hello
I'm having problems with OTA Update my Xperia is still on android 9. I have customization UK i tried with PC Companion but didn't helped. Yesterday I tried to flash to Android 10 with flash tool and Neflasher. The flash tool didn't allow me to flash i tried 2 different firmware. When i made NewFlasher try the phone at the end couldn't boot up giving error it's corrupted and will turn of in 5 seconds. I flashed the firmware i had in origin and phone is alive. But I'm not sure what is the problem. I will appreciate any feedback maybe I'm doing something wrong or missing some steps. I tried to jump from Android 9 straight to version 10 leaving the meantime updates. Today I found in some other treads that I might should edit a script file or in Flash tool tick box customization reset and disable final verification. I didn't ticked this box. Is it possible that flashing wasn't done because of that. Please help.

[WIP][Solution on progress] Meizu M3 note unbrick

Code:
**** DISCLAIMER ****
This post is an EXPERT-LEVEL Post.
I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for what you do to your device.
Please not that I am still working on a solution to this brick.
Hello XDA-Developers,
I recently got my hands on a Meizu M3 note and, of course, wanted the newest - nougat - firmware on it. It seems I accidently flashed a incompatible (or currupted) Update (flashed an A Firmware on a G version phone). Sadly it broke down and showed only vertical stripes on it's display.
Image here: https://ibb.co/cpGunm
After some hours research I found some information on how to reflash the M3 note via SP Flash Tool here and here. Since the first tutorial is for the M3 and M3s and the second tutorial is for the M model of the device (I've got the L model) there are some changes needed for it to somehow magically work.
I exchanged files provided (such as preloader.bin, lk.bin etc) with the matching ones from the latest Official Global Firmware from Meizu. Just extracted them out of the update.zip. (Don't forget to select the Authentication File!)
Image here: https://ibb.co/k3zYDR
Short flashing tutorial: make sure your device is turned off and disconneced then click "Download" and connect your device via USB. Don't worry if it now shows an error like "Download DA Failed", just dismiss the error and click "Download" again. It should flash the device now.
Sadly it is not possible to flash the boot.img provided in the latest official update.zip from Meizu (you'll get an security mismatch error). BUT the boot-verified.img provided by the chinese archive is flashable and is accepted by the device. The device is now in a bootloop, fastboot is accessible via holding Vol - and Power, but no recovery access via Vol+ and Power
The files seem to be repaired now but the display still shows these stripes - I think the firmware actually fried something on the display chipset. I bought a replacement screen and then will update this thread as soon as possible. If you have any Ideas of how to unbrick the device feel free to discuss.
Update 18.11.2017
Thanks to @ncristian !
I did as he suggested, downloaded and flashed the files from the russian forum here (if you do not speak russian and want to get straight to the point: Direct Download Link)
I still have the stripes on my screen but the device booted up successfully and got recognized again by my computer! While booting up I could see the stripes changing their color slightly as the bootanimation of flyme was playing. I guess I will have to replace the screen to make the display error go away... I will update this post as soon as I did so
Update 10.11.2018
Sadly I never actually exchanged the screen, I'm running a Pro 7 Plus as a daily driver now and I'm loving it
Update 19.05.2019
I have attached the boot-verified.img as someone requested it
I had the same problem and I solved thanks to this: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=739028&st=24480#entry65580668 and Google Translate; I downloaded the .zip, installed drivers, launched the flash tool and flashed files contained in the folder L691H (Remember to install drivers and disable antivirus or it will not work). Then I downloaded FlyMe 6.1.0.0G, went into recovery with vol up + power, copied the update.zip into the device "Recovery" and flashed it; the only problem I had is that the phone charged but he didn't recognize the battery level; by reflashing the files contained in the 4pda .zip, the battery level went up (obviously, after leaving the phone charging for about an hour).
Someone please help my meizu m3 note bricked after flashing flyme 7.8 beta.

Try reflashing via the original recovery, that might be your easiest solution. If that doesn't work you might try your luck with something like SP flash tool

First of all, thank you mate I successfully downloaded the boot verified. But still it didn't turned on. Just no power but recognized by the sp tool. I'm starting to think that downloaded again the wrong firmware. I also found out that their are two main board(or whatever is that). So this global firmware can be flashed in the both L and M series. I'm wondering what firmware you used to flash. Again, thank you in advance ^_^
l got same problem .. (because I'm not read careful )l tired to flash using many firmware or using boot verified .. i tired that for 2 Days.. So l give up.. take my device to profesional service . and solved. solved with Emmc repair ..
my device is L681H.

Hi , try to put your phone into Download mode , and use latest Odin version in order to re-flash the latest stock version of OS if you are note sure which one is , just send me 7 and 8 number from imei ...
Thank you for your answer, I managed to fix my phone by flashing the latest firmware. I was downloading it from a website and it turns out it wasn't the last one.
After I looked on different site, I went on sammobile and I downloaded the latest version, It took me one entire day, the download speed was slow AF and my internet connection crashed in the middle of it.
I had to ask a friend to download it at his place and then, bring it to me.
I'm really happy, I managed to fix it.

Updating firmware after flashing board software

Hello everyone. A couple of days ago, I bricked my huawei mate 10 pro BLA-AL00 by flashing the wrong firmware. After a few days of experimentation, I was able to revive the phone by flashing the board software back onto the phone. Now the problem is that I am on a super early build of emui and it seems like its the stock factory software with a bunch of debugging programs on it. I am having some trouble updating the firmware to android 8. I downloaded this exact firmware file: https://androidhost.ru/bzx
I am having some trouble figuring out what files I need to flash. There is a main dload folder after extracting the files, but if I try to copy that onto a usb drive and flash it using the dload method, my phone will once again brick itself. I have tried flashing the all_cn firmware file using TWRP recovery, but that also bricks my device and puts it into a bootloop. I have also tried using the huawei update file extractor software and tried manually flashing the firmware using fastboot commands, but once again will just end up in a bootloop. Am i doing something wrong? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks
Hi,
I'm in the exactly same case. Did you manage to fix it?

I finally managed to figure everything out after days of research and testing. You must download the BLA-AL00 8.1.0.351 full ota firmware from pro-teammt.ru and extract the update.zip folder. Next, I used MRT Dongle 3.19 cracked to flash the firmware. https://www.gadgetsdr.com/mrt-dongle-latest-crack/ To activate the program, you must use the keygen provided to generate a activation code after pasting in your device id. The device id can be found by opening the mrt program for the first time. Paste in the activation code found by the keygen into the activator and the program should open. Next, click on hw flasher and put your phone into fastboot mode. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. I assume it is unlocked as you only flashed the board firmware. Under write flash click on the 3 dots near the bottom of the page, select the update.app file you extracted before, and click on start. Don't worry if it says fail for the first few commands. It should successfully flash everything else. Once this process is finished, your phone should reboot. We need to do one final step and write the oeminfo back into the phone. Put your phone back into fastboot mode by plugging in your phone and holding down the power and volume down buttons. In MRT, click on update hw soft_ver, select huawei mate 10 pro, and click on start. After flashing, your phone should reboot normally now into an operating system!!!
Thank you for your answer ! My Mate 10 Pro is BLA-L09, how did you know you have to use this specific firmware (BLA-AL00 8.1.0.351 full ota firmware) for your BLA-AL00? I guess I should use BLA-L09 full ota but which version?

It took me a very long time and a large amount of downloading to figure out the exact firmware I needed to use. I just downloaded a bunch of version and see if it would flash onto my phone. Finally, the 8.1.0.351 firmware worked! For the bla-l09, im not too sure the exact version needed. I would experiment around and try a bunch of different full ota firmware from pro-teammt.ru Maybe you could flash the bla-al00 firmware and rebrand the phone? Im not too familiar with rebranding, but I know its possible.
I have tried with BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 firmware then my phone has reboot in a better factory version (EMUI 8 instead of EMUI 5), but still in factory mode, with the developpers apps. I've done the hw soft_ver update, but it still boot on this factory version. I've tried to flash another firmware (still BLA-L09 but another version), and now my phone stays shut down. I cannot even see it on my COM port. I've tried to use test point, I can hear the USB plug computer song but nothing happen. Phone no detected, black screen, no vibration. I've tested all the possible key combinaison (volume up, volume down, power button), still nothing .
Any idea of a last chance?
I was so close thank to your help!

PLEASE HELP - Bricked my OP7T Pro

Hi guys, I did something very stupid, flashed the wrong boot.img and ended up completely bricking my device. I tried changing the active partition to see if it would boot, that didn't help.
I was on the latest august update of official android 11 . Then I found a boot.img I found online, but apparently it wasn't from the exact same rom. The phone booted but no WIFI.
It wouldn't allow me to flash any update through settings - system update hence I decided to try to use a fastboot rom....tried that, but the process when I hit flash_all.bat gives a lot of FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for critical particions) or FAILED (Error reading sparse file)....what am I doing wrong?
I can't do anything except get in fastboot.
Is there any way I can get the phone to work agan? Needless to say that as the idiot I am the whole phone is wiped so this doesn't matter anymore. As long as I can get it to work.
Please advise and thanks (The phone is OP7T Pro ME european).

Thanks the problem is i can't get it to start qualcomm edl. I power off, press both vol buttons and conmect to usb but nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?
Qualcomm edl Mode is just a blackscreen
"I can't do anything except get in fastboot."
Your Bootloader was unlocked ?
You can try fastboot reboot edl.
Or you can find a ROM that works, extract all images and flash all of them.
I have a similar problem.. kind of. I just flashed a rooted boot to my phone but there is no wifi at all, and since i dont have a SIM card im not getting any updates. the Boot.img came from the oneplus software update and i did the payload dumper. Since I have rooted it ive lost the wifi capabilites. (its the 7T pro me international.)
