Okep. I assume you have the latest FlashTool installed already...
1) Get this (SEUS) : http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/sony_ericsson/models/seus/7572.html
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SEUS.
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericcson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs\
4) Copy the 2 largest files you'll find there to C:\Flashtool\leajian (I assume you created there a folder called leajian)
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files
7) Source folder : C:\Flashtool\leajian
8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Files to convert
9) Click OK
10) Wait patiently till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Firmware content
12) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia X10 Mini Pro(U20i)], on Version write the firmware version and/or the Android version [ex. 2.1.1.A.0.6 (Eclair_2.1)], on Branding write the region and your name if you wish [ex. Greek (by Leajian)].
13) Click OK
14) On Device Selection choose the device it is for (ex. U20i)
15) Wait very patiently...
16) When it finishes the .ftf file is located on C:\Flashtool\firmwares
17) SHARE IT ON XDA!!!

Seus downloads the firmware file to a folder on the pc as it flashes the phone. U use this file to create an ftf file in flashtool so you dont have to bother with Seus when u need it.
Multiple files
I have multiple large files in my folder, so which one should I choose?

If you're in the right folder (It might also be C:\ProgramData|Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fx), the two biggest files should be around 12000 kb and 104000 kb big, and their name should start with FILE_ (after the underscore a bunch of numbers). those should be the ones you use.
FILE_278994861 - 209,828KB
FILE_278574274 - 163,555KB
FILE_278574274 - 158,145KB
FILE_276191630 - 26,121KB
FILE_276191605 - 16,428KB
FILE_278990579 - 15,623KB
FILE_278524644 - 15,403KB
And others are below 1MB. So you can see that it's not possible to choose correctly my firmware (I might end up creating a Hybrid. )
Is there any possibility to decrypt those files so I can see my firmware?
Maybe I have so many these large files because I updated Xperia Mini too. (I have Xperia Neo). But I need my regional firmware that's in that folder because I upgraded to ICS, then downgraded to GB (regional) but I don't like bloatwares there, so reinstalling SEUS is not an option.
delete everything and let seus download the firmware for the device you want.
choose repair or something, it will download the firmware just abort when it wants to flash, you should have no trouble then
I told you that is not an option, because my original firmware is somewhere in those files, and since I flashed 2.3.4 global firmware, it will download it again (not the regional that I need and want).
Look at the creation dates for those files then,
Every one of the really big ones will be paired with a smaller one.
My guess is the biggest one contains all the bloatware, so discard that one.
If you can roughly remember when you updated that Mini, you can discard the files from around that date too.
If you can't remember, just create two bundles, and see which one works on your phone
(You can do a repair in SEUS without attaching your phone to the computer, you just select your phone-model. SEUS will be unaware what firmware you are running currently, and just select the latest firmware available for your phone)
(Additionally, if you hate the bloatware, you can delete it manually using a file-exporer with root-access on your phone)

Hi,
I have followed the procedure and got the .TFT file in the mentioned folder. The size of the .ftf file is around 220mb. Is this OK? I am not sure whether the output file size should be this large? Can anyone tell me the output .ftf file size.
Thanks in advance.
It depends of phone and FW version. For my ST18i it is about 265 MB on 2.3.4 and 370 MB on ICS.
Ok...Thanks !!

I updated my X10 MP from SEUS and I used the two largest files to get the .ftf output file. Can anyone please tell me that flashing this output .ftf firmware via flashtool on my X10 Mini Pro will give me stock android 2.1 official every time? What if my boot loader is unlocked and I am on a custom rom and kernel. I fear I may brick my phone. Please give some suggestion...!!
Thanks in advance.

If you've done everything right, you've got the kernel and rom that is the official se firmware, any custom kernel will be replaced by the stock one and any custom rom will be replaced by the stock 2.1. If your bootloader is unlocked or not doesn't matter much because the loader is flashed together with the kernel.
Just make sure that if your bootloader is already unlocked, you select Unlocked bootloader when flashtool asks for it in making the ftf-file. If you select Locked bootloader and flash it on an unlocked bootloader it may give unpredictable results when you try to flash another kernel, or try to restore the bootloader. On the other hand: If your phone's bootloader is locked, and you have chosen to include an unlocked loader in your ftf-file, the flash will fail.
Best way is to include the unlocked loader and flash the firmware with flashtool when your phone's bootloader is actually unlocked. That will give you the exact same result as updating using SEUS or PC Companion. If you want to relock the bootloader do it using S1Tool.
It's the only tricky thing about it, but neither will brick your phone
I've actually used this to make three backups.
One for firmware to flash on a locked bootloader, which has come in handy for some people in here (My phone is the E10i, and i've helped some people get back on stock firmware when they've accidentally relocked their bootloader on a custom kernel)
One for firmware to flash on an unlocked bootloader (for personal use)
And one that includes only the kernel and the loader (If i've tested a custom rom and kernel, I restore my stock ROM from CWM and then flash back the stock kernel, that way i've got all my settings, root, cwm, data and apps that i use regularly and i'm back to normal in about 5 minutes)

After reading about 3-4 days this forum...my head is totaly in chaos.
I'm owner of u20i mini pro
Simply I do not understand many things here..
First of all I have v1.6 and what I want is to upgrade android version to use Skype and Trillian (IM client). So my first question is what is the most stabile firmware for my phone?Is there any newer versin than link in next sentence?
I try with this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895370
The problem is that the link for Flashtool version for that firmware is broken. So just new version can find v0.28.
I downloaded system.zip file and extract firware folder to Flashtool folder. But when I click on flash and browse to firmware folder there is nothing! So what can I do?
What does it meant to decrypt files? Do I need to decrypt that downloaded files from system.zip folder (from folder firware)???
Is it enough to make just a "Bundle Creation" from advanced menu in FlashTool v0.28 and then continue from step 6 with ftf extensions?
Notice: My phone is rooted and I have a Xrecovery instaled and have a USB drivers for flashing.
My phone is now simunlocked so I can use every sim card. Is there any danger that after I flash my phone with newer android that it wil be simlocked? Sorry for stupid question..but I must to know.
So if someone want to help me I will be thankful.
First, you are in the wrong forum. Putting the X10 (not mini) firmware on your mini is not a good idea. Go to the X10 mini forum and look for the flash guide for noobs.
Even if you don't get the latest 2.1 update from flashing, you can hook your phone up to SEUS or PC Companion after flash and get the latest firmware.
I believe that you will still be sim unlocked, but I am not sure. There is a thread by Batman_112 about the differences between debranding and unlocking in this forum.
I would provide links, but I am on my phone and can't. Let me know if you can't find them and I will send them to you in a bit when I get on my computer.
I can't understand you..wht you said that wrong firmware I choose? I posted link from x10 mini pro forum.
I try SE update service and it says for my country (Serbia) that the v1.6 is the newest firmware for my phone.

I don't know the best firmware for you to use. Any region will work. Try Nordic or UK. Obviously they are not going to have yours because they never updated your region to 2.1. So what you are doing is "debranding".
The hard way is not really difficult. There is just an extra step of extracting the sin files. Just right click on the sin files inside the firmware download and click extract to specified folder. In this case the specified folder is "firmware" folder inside the Flash Tool folder. If "firmware" folder doesn't exist you need to create one.
Really, just follow the instructions where you download the firmware. It is not that difficult..and try using Google search for your questions.
Also try asking your questions in the right forum. This is not the mini forum.

So you said that I need just to do a Bundle Creation and then follow the tutorial?
And thats it?
Yes. If you are using new Flash Tool, 2.4 or higher, just put the UK ftf file in firmware folder.
Flashing: Turn off your phone. Plug usb cable into computer but not your phone. Then go back to the computer and click on "x10flasher.exe" (or something like that) inside the Flash Tool folder below the firmware folder where you put the ftf bundle. The flasher will open. Click on the button "flash". Then select the firmware and click OK. Then it will say something like "connect X10 in flash mode". While holding the back button on your phone plug in the USB cable. Once the flasher starts release the back button. Wait till says finished. Done
Make sure you back up your data before you flash. Then restore when you are done. There are free Backup and Restore apps in the Market if you don't have one.
Edit: How did it go?
Thx man for detailed erplay..I make it with succes.
Now I'm using version UK v2.1
Hello everyone, I'm new here so sorry if I'm doing something wrong, I tried to search but couldn't find anything related to my problem!
I'm running in a little trouble trying to recover to my local factory firmware with SEUS since last friday, reading a lot of threads here and at other forums with no luck.
Hope someone could enlight me.
[EDIT to what is happening right know]
The history log:
- I update my U20a (1239-7686) mini pro with PC Companion as soon as I bought it to 2.1.1.A.0.6.
- Then I rooted, tried hundreds apps, removed other dozen with Titanium Backup installed JIT and then I had the "brilliant" to reset from the inside android menu wondering that my firmware will return fresh and clean, big mistake.
- After trying three different firmwares and versions (including downgrading to 1.6) with FlashTool 0.2.9.1 I finally found that with this one SEUS recognize my phone and repair it.
The problem is that when I edit build.prop to my factory CDF number, SEUS do not recognize it anymore. What am I doing wrong? Any clue??
just a thought...
Did you try force method?
Use seperated SE Update software not update from pccampanion.
Then when you have selected model etc etc enter in flash mode and let it finish with flashing ... works in 99% time..
what worked for me
I had about the same problem, but managed to sort it out with the Flash Tool.
Check if the latest firmware has been downloaded by the SE Updater Service to /Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Updater Service/db/. (check the size, there should be about 100+ MB in there).
If so, you can use the Flash Tool to :
1) decrypt the files in the .../db/12345678/ folder
2) build a package from the newly decrypted .sin files (the build package window will open right after the decryption), select all the .sin files, name the package and go
3) flash that package to your phone.
I hope this will work for you too.

I tried with PC Companion, and SE Update Service, both softwares available from SE website.
If you mean I should use SE Update Service, that's exactly the problem, it doesn't work. Otherwise I don't know what you mean about force method.

I didn't try this because SE Updater stops right after I choose the Mini Pro, it tells me I have the lastest firmware no matter what firmware I've flashed, even 1.6. Just to be sure I'll check this when I go back home.
Try to change the custom revision number too inside the build.prop, it helped for me before. Eg from R4B to R3B.

i got this problem too, now im stuck on the previous kernel and dont know what to do... but the SEUS file decryption sounds nice... ill give it a shot...

Hello friends
I need to find important information about the Xperia Z2 D6502!
D6502 not support LTE! But other models are support.
1--Does LTE support software or hardware?
2--D6503 ROMS (23.0.1.A.3.9,France - Orange - etc. OR 23.0.1.A.0.167,Canada/USA,France,Germany etc. ) upload to D6502??? Is this happens?
3--And does LTE work?
OR
LTE support is not work. Let's say D6503 is working ROMs on D6502.
4--An advantage or good changes on d6502???If everything would be the same?
LAST
5--When installing this ROM on FlashTool,Is there a possibility of deleting IMEI?
6--And OTA update income ?
7--Can we, when we want to install the original version d6502 (To avoid problems with warranty service)
Very Thanks. English'm less. gtranslate
backup your original rom and after that try to flash d6503 roms to your d6502. I think the rom should work but 4g will not work. and this can't change the imei. I think that the only difference is the 4g. I have a d6503 so I can't try it but good luck

ı dont have root! Can I do any other way? or back up my data and download the d6502 mena ftf.flashing and upload data?
For rooting you need to downgrade to 4.4.2 and than root using toolkit, than you can backup your TA partition just in case you want to unlock your bootloader later and lose your DRM keys. D6503 ROM can be flash in D6502 but the network functions like calling and texting wont work, you need to flash D6502 modem for that, most of the ROMs will already have that as a separate flashable ZIP, search in the respective ROM thread. After flashing the ROM you might get update notification but you wont be able to install them as many of the system files will be modified so for getting official update you will need to flash back stock FTF with flashtool which will remove all your data, and if you had unlocked you bootloader you will have restore you DRM keys also after flashing stock ftf. for backing up data without root try helium app. works for me.

No, no prblm, just follow the method given in the forum thread, flash only the ftf for your model and not any other, bootloader wont be affected by flashtool until you intentionally unlock it.

Depends on what ROM you want to flash, there are different ones available in the forum, some AOSP or CM based which will require unlocked BL, or stock bases, like existenz or Moonwalker which are stock based and dont require unlocked BL. but i would suggest you hold on for now as there are some news about Lollipop being release in next few weeks and you will need to flash stock ROM again for updating to Lollipop. or you can later wait for someone to make a lollipop ROM later and get done with the rooting process now itself. also to download ftfs i would suggest use xperifirm and create the ftf using flashtool, you might not find your specific regions ftf through flashtool, but i'm not entirely sure about that, you can try either.
Also please press thanks button if i helped

first backup your data (you know how to do it?) and then backup your rom with this method:
3. how to backup your original firmware customization
a) if you do not want to lose warranty of your phone, first thing you have to do is to backup your original customization
b) download Sony PC Companion and connect your phone
c) select update your phone in Sony PC Companion
d) application will prompt you to disconnect your phone before starting downloading firmware, just make it (remember - dont disconnect your phone when update just start...)
e) after finish downloading firmware cancel the update
F) after that, go to C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\some number\blob_fs, there you find 3 (maybe 4) files, which names start FILE
g) download and install latest Flashtool
h) paste the three files, which names start FILE, from blob_fs folder to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
i) open the Flashtool, click on Tools, then click on Bundles, choose decrypt files and put all three files from blob_fs folder to the right columm
j) click ok and after approx. one minute a pop up Window will appear via Flashtool
k) mark all files except simlock.ta and transfer them to the right column, than fill in a box in the right upper corner (fill in what you want, it is just for you)
l) now click ok and Flashtool will create backup of your original firmware customization, that you can anytime flash to your phone

Hi All,
I have an issue, My device is version 4.4.4 build 23.0.1A.0.167.
I got told i need to load version 4.4.2 on my device, now when i try and find a tft for my region (South africa) it doesnt match . Also would i lose my data like videos or will it just be apps.
What i need to know is this, all i want is root access, and now i cant for some reason get into the service menu *#*#7378423#*#* .
Would installing the Nordic version work ? ( i remember i did this with my old x10i) it not locked in.
Also maybe a bit of correct direction on which rooms to use as a lot of sections claim this is how it must be and i really dont wanna mess it up the one section i have been trying to follow is here
forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Its easy dude, all u need all those file ftf, flashtool, pre-rooted rom etc. And the most important thing, google it!
Downgrade to android 4.4.2
Root it and install recovery
Insert your pre-rooted rom in memory card
Reboot to recovery
Install the flashable pre-rooted rom
Wipe cache/dalvic
Reboot and wait for the android system upgrading
Done.
which Z2 version do you have? D6502/D6503?
D6503 problem is I couldn't find my tft any where. Thus why i need to know if I can use a different one
Yes, of course you can use any D6503 firmware, it will work just fine.
---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------
better downgrade to 4.4.2 and root then install recovery, then flash this from recovery, it's a rooted UK .726

Ok, how do you now down grade, that my issue as well
OK, first, download and install Flashtool from HERE , install the software and then go to drivers folder, or just copy and past this link in your Computer address bar C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe
check these boxes |Flashmode drivers|Fastboot drivers| Xperia Z2 device drivers and press next to install them, better restart your computer afterwards. After doing these steps reply to me and I'm gonna tell you what next
Consider one day you upset the devil and your phone is bricked by him, lets try to revive the phone from hell (at your own risk) :
Link to the OTA firmware's :
Click here for the links page
Important tools links:
[TOOL] Huawei Multi-Tool v8 by Team MT by inside!out
TWRP Honor 7X img
Stage 1
Download from here everything you need for the procedure - Download Folder Link
I am testing it on my BND-L21 firmware from BND-AL10
Downloading firmware (from topic). Full firmware must be more than 1.5Gb, all smaller is just
OTA Updates to the system.
After that we must download Huawei-MultiTool (future MT) version 8.x.x (link topic)
and downloading custom recovery. We will use TWRP for Honor7x (link topic)
Last we must prepare OTG Cable, SD Card more than 4Gb. On first stage that's all.
Stage 2
Go to MT and reboot phone to Fastboot mode (while phone off, hold "Volume -" and power)
If you did all correctly, you will see in the down right side your number and "Fastboot".
Now go in MT to the Bootloader and check the status. If you have already unlocked, skip this.
If you have locked phone, you must have IMEI and Huawei account. (if not please unlock your bootloader via the Huawei site)
After that, go to Recovery menu and choose our TWRP image in "Custom recovery" section and
type "Recovery". IMPORTANT!!! DON'T FLASH ERECOVERY, I DON'T HAVE THIS IMAGE!!!
After flashing recovery, we must turn off our phone.
Now we must to prepare base system image. In archive we have UPDATE.ZIP file. extract this
file to custom folder and open "Unbrick" in MT and choose "extractor". Open our file in extractor
and click right mouse key on empty space, choose extract all... and choose custom folder to
extracting.
Go to the folder and copy file VENDOR.IMG to the SD-Card (or USB with OTG). Turn on your
device in Recovery mode (Volume + and power), choose Wipe and Wipe ALL partitions! After
doing this, go to Install and choose "Install img", go to the SD-Card, and install VENDOR.img to
VENDOR folder (Important!)
After installing reboot phone again to Fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Now we must download .zip update to your region. We need this for using LTE (4G) in your country + Localization.
After downloading open .zip archive with our CUST file. archive must be called update_BND-
YOUR-NUMBER_hw_YOUR- COUNTRY.zip
From this archive we must extract .img file from root folder. It can be called cust.img CUST.img
version.img etc.
if name different from CUST.img rename it and put to the extracted UPDATE.app folder.
Last Stage 3
In MT go to Unbrick, choose our unpacked system with our CUST file and we must have at least
4/5 checkbox. And just type "UNBRICK" and wait. NOTICE: at moment of extracting system.img
it will be about 10-15 minutes. It's not a freezing of PC)
After good installing in log you will see like "All ok" Just reboot phone and you will see low level
factory reset, or something else like formatting. After formatting phone will reboot to the system.
That's all
Flashing Gapps method coming soon...

there is a procedure used by EU users to completely revive the phone using the OTA but the procedure is too long which i haven't tried yet and is completely for users who have dead phones for now and yes obviously there is no official firmware available for Honor 7x but the user from an EU forum revived his phone so it is possible from the images.
though i made this thread for users who want to update their firmwares and not the procedure to flash a stock firmware since there is not one available yet but i can point to the thread where this user posted the procedure if someone wants to try. PM me

There are teams who have unlocked a lot of stuff like flashing international FW,
flashing gapps on chinese fw, Automatic Call Recording, restoring the phone.
so i am in contact with them to make our phone better. lets keep our fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
i am waiting for firmware flashing to get it translated from one of the users.
This is the full recovery package right? Atleast for the Indian version?

They arent recovery packages. they are full OTA which can be flashed for updating.
but there is a process to compile them into making them stock firmware packages but due to the long procedure i didnt post it here. rather wait for official stock firmware package.

Hello Honor 7X Users, turns out there is firmware available for flashing for the AL10 and L21 variants
but i haven't tried them out and can post the procedure if someone needs it but all credit goes to PRO-TEAMMT for releasing them for us so now if we mess up we got official firmware's latest available to go back to.

exactly what you want to do?
this is to update to the latest firmware. if you have the latest firmware you dont need it.
the multi tool is used to flash stock with a procedure which is only needed to return to stock or else theres no need for it for the most part..

1) ???
2) Not sure there is always a chance of bricking
3) Yes, if you don't know what you're doing. No if you're not going to be flashing anything.
4) You should be able to and also refer to #1.
5) None available
6) None available
7) You can't, no stock image released = no procedures to unbrick

1- can i upgrade the system at every update (when the device is rooted) with Firmware finder many times even if I don't recive the notification on the phone of the update (or if the device updater cannot find it)?
2-ok but if do all right steps you cannot brick the phone, no?
3-ok i only wanna unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root the phone. If I do all right steps there are no risks, no?
4-i don't understand it (in hisuite there s the option that says "Update device". With the device rooted can I update the phone with this software?)
5-ok but can I do one with a custom recovery, no?
6-ok so we just have to wait, no?
7-ok. Same thing of the - 6 (we have to wait for the UPDATE.APP for the 7x to be able to UNBRICK the phone in case it could happen, no?)
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for the answers?

1. yes you can if the app supported honor 7x with their firmware but it doesn't yet, use twrp
2. yes you can upgrade via flashing it in twrp
3. unlocking bootloader itself is dangerous let alone rooting since your waranty is gone since there is still no sign of official stock firmware
4. same as no. 1 ans
5. if u flashed twrp you can do your nandroid backup which can be later restored anytime so it will be obv on the phone at that time
6. manual or local update? in the op main post i guess? by opening the link?
7. Still no official firmware and the procedure i am aware of consists of turning the official chinese firmware into normal by changing settings and stuff which is a long procedure so probably if u brick, u r stuck until honor decides to release stock firmware
by the looks i guess you have no clue about phone flashing, its better you dont try anything until there are guides properly made for newbies. :silly:

I rooted my 7X(Al10) version successfully but while performing the reset, deleted the system file also by mistake. There is no TWRP backup. Is there any way to get the stock OS files again to flash in TWRP ? Or does anyone have a backup file they made that they can share? I tried Huawei e-recovery too, but that gets stuck at 'unable to get package info'. The people at the service centre can't think of any other method to restore the phone, except changing the motherboard. When is the official stock file expected to be available?

I have a TWRP backup not sure if it'll work, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EntdgNwcJSOTZizqt_W-yWfkd3-YVmCm/view?usp=drivesdk
It's a zip file with 2 backup folder, one with boot and system and one with vendor
Edit: pls thank if it worked, so I have an indicator of the effectiveness

1. In the app firmware finder there are firmwares for the phone but how can I flash a official firmware (OTA I mean) if there are no one (or how can I flash a firmware finder Update)?
2. Same thing in -1 (I mean)
3. Ok. Now we have to wait the official stock firmware, no? (i don't understand this answer, please write it in another way)
4. I don't understand it
5. Okok (obv? Sorry I'm Italian hahaha)
6. It's not the same thing local or manual? Write it in another way please hahaha google translate doesnt help me?
7. Okok, So if I don't use your method I only have to wait that honor release the official stock firmware (UPDATE. APP). And for greater security it's better wait it before to root and unlock bootloader etc, no?
Anyway, I have an idea of what flashing is, in fact every device I have (they are all Samsung, so that's why I'm disoriented) is completely modified. The fact is that I dont have much experience (I'm 14 years old) with non-Samsung devices, in fact my honor 7x I received for Christmas and for the hurry and the want to modify it, I would like to know all these things.
Thank you

OK thanks I'll keep it aside in case of brick
I would recommend everyone to not do experiments over your phone to try and root and flash random stuff..
they only have official chinese firmware for flashing so its better to wait for the official firmware for non chinese version.
the method which i know of to flash on the phone is for people with flashing knowledge cz the procedure is not simple and secondly even i have been flashing my phone for many years on various devices yet i havent got the guts to root this first honor device cz their partitions are different and somewhat secured so dont play with it.
wait for the official firmware for your respective devices. maybe they will straightaway launch the oreo firmware.
