DECRYPT WOTAN FILES
- Hi folks, here is a simple solution to decrypt wotan files, why we should pay again for a firmware that is already on our pc´s ?
- We can distribute this firmwares betwen us since we all have them!
- This works on any Xperia device!
Lets start
Warning:
a - Im no responsible if this bricks your device.
b- I have bad english, so ive made screencaptures to make this easier for you and me
1) Locate Wotan data folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Go to data/flashes and locate 3 files
Using ubuntu i discovered that those files are compressed
3) Using 7zip (or any compression software) Extract them
4) And voila, we got our files, but they are hidden.
5) Change those files extension to .sin
now they are ready for the bundle creation
6) Open Flashtool ... advanced... bundle creation.
7) Choose the folder where the files are...
8) Pass them to firmware content...
9) in device, version and branding fields put wathever you want, i put my device info, to recognize it later easier and press OK
10) Select your device if flashtool ask
11) Wait untill is finished...
12) The END, we got our FTF file to flash with Flashtool whenever we want and without paid anything!
Cheers!
If this was helpful please press Thanks button
Edit: reuploading the images!
I have downloaded many firmwares, I got 8 files there...and I have no idea which belongs to which one.
Gonna try something.

That's the problem.
Already first errors also when trying to extract, couldn't get full package.
Hmm I tried to build an FTF for my Xperia Mini firmware that I previously got off WotanServer, but FlashTool somehow gets "stuck" once it hits adsp.sin (which is like the 1st file it is trying to flash). The phone seems to be rejecting the flash.
My phone's bootloader is not unlocked though. But WotanServer was still able to flash the stock firmware (as it should be) nonetheless.
I'm thinking is it possible that maybe the files are individually encrypted in some way so the phone rejects it or something?
EDIT: Since other users have said it's successful, am I doing something wrong?
Works like a charm!!!!
Awesome, bro. Now All we need is a fully credit loades wootan account. i'm working on it, thanks.

I'm trying to do as described but I'm having the same problem Kaiyao, the firmware is not sent to the device, stands and does nothing.
Same here, it get stucked in flashing adsp.... will try again
So i tried again several times, and yes it get stuck in that section just like other people say
I have locked bootloader... maybe thats the problem? (and yes with wotan I can flash it with no problem)
By the looks of it, from reading all the posts, if you have a locked bootloader, it is highly unlikely to work. My bootloader is unlocked and it worked perfectly for me
Edit: Nevermind it didn't work, it got stuck like everybody else's and my bootloader is unlocked :S

So the problem ins't the bootloader, any other ideas?
I do not think the problem is in bootloader, because other ROMs operate normally.
I think there must be some script inside the files that makes them available as a cache file for wotan client re-flash only
Alright guys, in an attempt to flash my ST15i handset to the generic US ST15a firmware (I was hoping to get my 3G working for Digicel here in the Caribbean but no go, I just know the issue is baseband related but back on track), I bought some credit and downloaded the files. I managed to create a "ST15a_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Trade US" firmware. Here's the link http://ul.to/2sz71s80
Did you also try to flash it?To check if it works?

I'll flash it and retry just to make sure it works for you since I already flashed it (from ST15i to ST15a via the wotan server software).
Update: It's stuck at this point...
"16/023/2012 20:23:15 - INFO - Loader : S1_Loader_Root_773f - Version : R4A066 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE / IMEI : ***********
16/023/2012 20:23:15 - INFO - Flashing kernel.sin"
I don't know why...followed the tutorial exactly. Looks like a dud guys, my apologies. Next time I'll test and ensure it works unless someone wants to download and see where it messed up.
PS: Does anyone know if it is possible to get the bands which work for the ST15a working in the ST15i firmware (3G support to be precise)? Do I flash some software or are the bands determined by hardware (e.g. device uses a specific chip)?
Your bootloader is locked, so you can't flash kernels. Exclude it before flashing and flash again.

Thanks nit3wolf, will have to try it tomorrow though, gotta get some sleep before work in the am. By the way, am I excluding the loader or kernel before flashing?

Hi everyone!
Yesterday i decided to start exploring my Xperia X10i and so came across this site, rooted my phone, installed xRecover and tried to unlock the bootloader... BUT it would not work!!! I used the [HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10 by 9Lukas5, followed all the steps and it would not work!!
He says you dont need to downgrade, so i was using my 2.3.3 firmware. (downgraded only in flashtool), the semc program just wouldnt finish the job (i checked, i have the semc certificate). It even bricked my phone(stuck on the sony ericcson part) a few times (i managed to revive it). Now i installed the Cyanogen7 mod 003, im wondering if i should try again with the bootloder?
If i have to downgrade to 2.1 please send me a link where i can download the firmware. And its done by the flashtool right? (i got the 0.2.9.1, for some reason the 0.6.7.1 comes up with some error screen when i start it)
Ok, i just downgraded with this file -> Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435.
Tried to do the bootloader unlock again, thats what comes up (and did on my old 2.3.3):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

Can I unlock the bootloader with the Cyanogenmod as well?
OMFG!!! AFTER CHANGING BACK TO CYANOGEN7 FROM 2.1 I CANT SEND SMS!!!! HELP SOMEONE!!!!
PLZ HELP! Thanks in advance
Are the developers doing anything except developing and talking to each other?? HOW ABOUT HELPING A NOOB?! (me) FML!!! Fixed the sms problem btw with flashing 2.1 again. CMON SOMEONE, HELP!!!!!!
I'm no expert but I will try to help
What error are you getting with the latest flashtool?
Try using the X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
BTW for most of the devices, you need to downgrade and be careful on choosing on the .bat file to unlock. also keep the upgrade file ready.
If you have troubles getting the phone into flash mode use this trick
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 10 secs.
So quick clicks on the mouse would help you

The one i downloaded was from here (Windows version 32 bit btw) : [TOOL/X10] [UPDATE 15/01/2012] Flashtool version 0.6.7.0 - Windows / Linux
Wait, i just installed the 0.6.7.0 from http://androxyde.github.com/ And it seems to be working... But this is the installer, the other one was a zip with the files so maybe it has to be installed.

The flashmode is not a problem atm, but if thats a good tip for the future
I was using the Azuzu downgrade that is included in the 0.2.9.1 flashtool, isnt it the same one? <---- Yes, im 99% sure it is. Same name and weight of the downloaded file as the one included in the firmwares folder. So i have been using it.
OK!! I USED THE [25NOV][FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies - G-FACE GUIDE
(with the working 0.6.7.0)
And apparently i successfully unlocked the bootloader.
Where it says "S1 ERROM VER", if the code looks like this "r8А033" (the letter "r" is small), then you have successfully unlocked the BL, if its capital letter "R", then repeat the steps for BL unlocking.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<--- i get that r8А033
BUT!!! I just installed the [2.3.3+2.3.7+arc][05/02/2012]ThGo2 v14.0 [Bestest] [ICS theme] [with T.E.A.M] AND WHEN THE PHONE LOADS THE FIRST THING THAT POPS UP IS...GUESS WHAT?... SONY ERICCSON!!!! So that meant i havent unlocked it?? Im so confused
OR do i have to install a custom kernel (firmware or watever) before installing any other firmware? Koz I installed the ThGo2 from my generic 2.3.3 (without flashing anything or installing any kernels) that i updated through PC Companion. If i do need to install something, then how? Flashtool? And What? Sorry for being such a Noob guys
So basically what i did was -> Phone is on 2.3.3 -> Root phone with flash tool -> Install Xrecovery -> "Unlock BL" -> Xrecovery, install the ThGo2.
Whats kernel by the way?
And again I am left alone.... SERIOUSLY, WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT CAN HELP? WHAT DID I JOIN THE SITE FOR IF NOONE IS HELPING ME? FMFL.
Hey sorry about late reply.
After unlocking bootoader you will keep seeing SE boot image until you flash custom kernel.
The ROM you want will have the kernel that needs to be flashed via flashtool.
If you download FXP cm7, the kernel ftf is in the flashtool -> firmwares folder. Just drag and drop onto flashtool
Give that a go first and let me know what happens.
Ill try check this more often

Ok, thanks man!! Since i decided to go with the ThGo2 (its faster than cyanogen as far as i can see), i have to flash one of his kernels. He got 2 --> X10_2.3.3_Th_kernel-n1.1-BootManager-v2.0 & X10_2.3.3_Th_kernel-n1.1_wifi. I'll try the first one now and report how it goes. Hopefully it works. And i hope my phone doesnt brick either

haha no worries. You should be fine so long as you don't pull the battery or cable while you're flashing a new baseband (which you shouldn't have to do unless your running a 2.1 rom )
ThGo2 is a great rom. Have fun

Hey i think that answers my question but just to clarify: So this is what happened i usred flashtool 0.9.0 to unlock the bootloader so that i can unlock my phone from rogers. Everything went right. Flashtool did its thing completed the bootloader unlock recognized my phone and confirmed unlock with small r using s1 tool. After reeboot two things still happen. First i am still booting through the original se prompt thst oalways had, and two, my phone is still locked to rogers. I am using the standard firmware that came from sony with the 2.3.3 upgrade. So from what i understand from your post all i have to do is use the flashtool and flash my phone with custom firmware to complete the job, and if so which firmware would i use? Thanks

I think you misunderstood the fact that this is bootloader unlocking not network unlock
So you are still stuck with rogers. There's no free way to network unlock but there are some cheap ones you can find out

Guess I did misynderstand it....but i would still like to unlock my bootloader. Do i need a custom flash from flashtool or is there a specific one i need. Also i tried to check how many attempts i got left with the menu back...etc fromthe unlock screen command and its not workung. Is there a reason for this or do i ask that qyestion somewhere else?

You can unlock your bootloader anytime and relock is as many times as you want
That unlocking chances are for network unlock i guess dunno about it much
To unlock your bootloader there's a good guide in development section named G-face guide for flashtool. Search for it. I'm on phone right now can't search

Ive unlocked the bootloader, rooted my phone and put a custom rom on it.
It needs to go back to the shop as my wife does not want it.
Its got a 28 day money back guarantee and today is the 28th day, so I need to do it ASAP.
I don't need to relock/re root it really, I just need to get a stock ROM on it so it looks normal.
The girl at the shop will only turn it on to check its working, but i fear if she sees the custom boot screen she might think, 'hey this is different to all the others ive seen'.
Ideally I would like to put the original Tesco ROM back onto it
Hmmm thats got me thinking. When Jinx unlocked my bootloader etc, he saved some files on my computer incase i needed a back up.
These are the files I have:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

This is a nandroid backup made with clockworkmod that means if you flash it back your phone will be in a non-stock rooted state.You can restore it and then check your phone status.If you know how it was rooted, unroot your phone with the same method after you flash this image.
The above files are a backup of the old bootloader not the ROM itself. Does anyone have a Tesco ROM by any chance?

Well thats what Jinx told me and hes the one that did the procedure.
Ive asked him to look at this thread just to double check.
Tesco rom has no Tesco splash screen only Tesco app and Tesco settings for Internet mms.
Flash. 42 or 58 with wotanserver and then se update service might flash a Tesco rom for ya, as your product code probably still on Tesco UK.

This is actually my second one anyway! The first one I broke whilst trying to unlock the bootloader
I tried to recreate what i did but this one just wont break!
So I'm trying to make it look as normal as possible.
I've been looking on Team Da Vinci and they mention the Tesco ROM on their website:
http://davinciteam.co.uk/phone_details_SK17i_4.0.A.2.377_0001,0002,0003,0004.html
But they want £8.75 for the pleasure. The website also doesn't look like it's been updated in a while. I don't wanna give them my money and then find out it won't work. I've used Da Vinci before and it was a pleasant experience, but it was about five years ago.

They are not the files I left.
The files I left are user\SeTool\Backup\%IMEI%\
And in the format %IMEI%%date%.fakesign
And %IMEI%%date%.backup
They are typically 2-4kb in size
I do not know where you got those files from
EDIT...
I may have some credits you can have for them let me see if I can find the ID and password
But not promising
Jinx13
If you wanna flash these files back then with root explorer or astro explorer navigate to /mnt/sdcard.If you see a folder named clockworkmod then go to clockworkmod/backup and make a folder there.Put files inside.Restart in clockworkmod, choose backup and restore, restore and flash the specific backup.If there isn't a folder named clockworkmod then you have to install it first (you must be rooted) and then do the above.
Phone has been taken back to shop now. Refunded all ok
She didnt even look at the phone lol!
Better to be safe than sorry i guess
I used Wotanserver in the end to flash a stock .42 image and left it at that.
Simpuls!
Tesco are a good bunch.
unfortunately they damaged the sim contact on mine when bundling with there Tesco sim before sealing box.
I have to use blue tac to keep pressure and contact on my 3 sim to get service.
Looking forward to ice cream tho face unlock should be fun and hopefully bit quicker.

From flashtool it shows “not rooted” but after couple of other message messages it shows connected as flashmode. Any help appreciated.
From forum and flashtool documents it mentioned to select wipe user data, but when I select ftf file from flashtool wipe section doesn’t have any select check box.

It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used flashtool 0.9.10 version from "http://androxyde.github.com/" and your given rom (2.3.3). Thank you so much for your help file and advice.
Before today's mission I update Java in my machine, used a fresh copy of flashtool and flash my phone with your given rom.

Thank you so much for your help, advice and guidance. With 2.3.3 rom it worked even though at flash tool it showed not rooted. One difference I have seen one difference between 2.1 generic rom which I gave in my previous post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1749426) and gamingwiz's given 2.3.3, the difference was 2.3.3 had cache wipe option. I don't know that made any difference or not.
Thank you again.

Hello!
So here I go...first trying to root so I need to go back to 532 BUT I cant find one for the C6802 and USA. Even the one in the link that says TW is a dead link.
Wondering if flashing the [STOCK ROM] [FTF] Xperia Z Ultra (C6806) 14.1.B.1.532 "US Retail" is a bad idea.
I am sure I will have more Qs after this one but this one already got me stuck right off the bat :crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921&highlight=c6802
PS I found one for HK C6802_14.1.B.1.532_HK.ftf maybe that works?
Yo!
It doesn't really matter which version you pick. It'll work as usual. And yes, the HK version will work fine, but it might boot up with chinese language. I'm not really sure. Or you can flash the european version for the C6833.
Ok I also downloaded the C6806 US version but I can use that C6833 European version if you think is a better idea.
I think I can try what I have no harm done, then try another one if that one did not work fine. Right?

Yeah, whatever you feel like doing You're only downgrading to root, so after you've changed the CDA and gottten the OTA update, you'll end up with a german firmware (unless you find a different CDA that has OTA). Either way, just do whatever you want. If it doesn't boot or the ROM is wonky, it'll only take you a couple of mintues to flash a different ROM.
Ok so finally ready to try the firmware. I see stuff like Partition, TA etc on the flash tool. I dont see anything instructions to check any of those so I assume I am good to go, right?
Also, when setting the phone in flashmode there is no icon to indicate you are in that mode?
If I understood correctly the whole back up TA thing or you will lose it only happens if I unlock the bootloader so I think I am fine not checking any of those option to exclude but better safe than sorry.

Don't worry about your TA partition unless you're going to unlock the bootloader. It's safe, and flashtool won't and can't delete it. The only options you might be interested in is wiping of data, appdata etc. so untick those if you don't want to delete everything on your phone (but it's brand new, so my guess is that you don't have that much on it right now)
There are no icons or any signs when you're in flash mode. Flashtool will tell you that you're connected through flashmode and that's that
What happens if you lose your TA partition? I never backed it up as I had no root and I did do a bootloader unlock via Sony site.

Thanks. mmm having issues with not installing the drivers.
Gonna try restarting. Still wont install drivers when I tried flashmode...all I see is the S1 Service with the yellow warning icon under Device Manager. Tried with the drivers from the Flashtool folder and nothing. :/

Once you flash a stock ROM again, X-Reality won't work, and that's about it.

Are you running Win7 or Win8? Win8 has some issues with installing drivers if i remember correctly, and you have to disable "something something drivers", or boot up in safe mode or something. I'm not sure as you can clearly tell
Sorry should have said that. Actually is Windows 7 64 bits. tried many usb ports too.
FINALLY! LOL
I was installing the Ultra dirver when I should have been selecting Flashmode and fastboot from the list! LOL

Hey man thanks for being with me through the whole process, appreciated!
I just finished the rooting and didnt have to do the CDA part as I got the OTA 257 upgrade now downloading.
Then I will back up TA and finally time to flash a ROM...now I must decide which one looks good!

Remember to use OTA Root Keeper before you update to 257.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Oh yes, I did the whole guide, Survival mode, OTA keeper and I am on 257 and rooted! Plus just finished the TA back up so only need to unlock bootloader and I am in business!
Nice! To unlock the bootloader, just go to Sony's Dev site and request your unlock keey. Then use flashtool to unlock it. Note that unlocking the bootloader might wipe some stuff (again), and if you can't find the root app when you power it on again, don't freak out
I'm off to bed, so you're on your own now

Just got an error your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked even thought the service menu says it can be unlocked.
More fun all night for sure.
Good night!
Ok so I got it unlocked and recovery has been installed. Do I have to now restore the TA? I ask as from I understood, we backed it up because it gets wiped out during the unlock thus logical step would be to restore now.

If you restore TA then your bootloader will be automatically locked.

updates for RMX2155 model are not being available via settings, it seems to be some kind of sever issue, you can manually update by using sp flash tool, but only do this if you know what you are doing, this will delete your data.
also unlocked bootloaders are facing similar issues with updates, you should relock the bootloader if you want to update.
you can unlock/relock bootloader by using these kind of tool (MTK universal v5)

Follow this tutorial:
But instead of stock a53(RUI1) frimware you need for download F09(RUI3) frimware for rmx2151, can't paste link here because it will be removed,
After extraction of Ofp file you'll get multiple super.img and one supermap.xml type file..
You only need one super.img, for that you'll need simg2img.exe,
After downloading simg2img.exe put it in the same folder where you extracted the ofp and open cmd in the same folder,
And type following command "simg2img.exe super.xxx.img super.yyy.img super.zzz.img super.img"
where x,y,z will be replaced by names present in supermap file ..
Then you'll have a new file in ofp folder named super.img,
Follow rest of the tutorial afterwards...
You also might need to unlock bootloader.
so im looking at realmefirware(.com) but i cant find the F09 firmware only the C.19 version idk if thats it
I also checked the link in the tutorials description and the codename is RMX2163 and i also dk if its the right files
the last thing i wanna do now is to brick my device

Depends on the situations,
If you have only one phone and you are a corporate guy, then its probably not worth it
Also now a days most of the little customisations(including custom roms) can be achieved without root.
However if you plan to root your secondary phone and do all kind of kinky stuff with it then its absolutely fun,
Root always comes with risk.

No problem buddy, just keep searching for solutions.
Orange state is just a msg to inform you that your boot loader has been unlocked,
while in recovery format and wipe data, then reboot.
And next time try to add images also.
And if you plan on using sp flash tool it doesn't matter if your phone is booting or not.

So to get this right
Once I unlock the bootloader I will get into the the Orange state which I will able to bypass by formating (wipe data) on my phone and I should be able to boot again right ? On the original rom
And from there I will be able to install the TWRP custom recovery in which I can install my custom rom ?
Right?
