FTF for Mac and Windows help? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello I am trying to update the 510 and trying to use the both Mac and the Windows flashtools and it is not giving me anything.
On Mac i doubled clicked the THUNDER icon and it doesn't go anywhere.
On Windows I have followed the direction and it detected the phone but said the phone is locked and i don't see at the software to update or detecting any 510 software ...any ideas guys?
Really like to see what this 510 is all about?

Copy the Flashtool onto Desktop, right click to Show Package Contents, Contents/Resources/firmware, copy your tft, then launch the program.

Reread the guide carefully, and try again.
hello friends I have read all topics and I have tried everything, when I run the regedit in windows and put "Vid_0fce & Pid_adde" I do not see the DeviceInstance try putting "USB \ VID_0FCE & PID_ADDE" and I do not see anything I have Windows 7 32bit everything I've done with the phone plugged into debug mode but nothing that I get something, and when I run the file if you put nothing opens and when I plug in flash that I close the program
You have to have SEUS installed and PC Companion.. run it through PC companion once. Then do the regiedit thing.
To put your phone into flash mode, turn off the phone completely, then hold the back button and connect the phone through USB to the computer.
(when you do this, make sure PC companion is NOT running)

[Q] Xperia X10a AT&T flash to 2.1

Hi,
I have purchased Xperia X10a from AT&T currently running Android 1.6. I went through many posts in this forum but couldnot figure out what is the exact way to get Android 2.1 on this phone. I know AT&T has not rolled out 2.1 updates for this phone. I would appreciate if anybody could help me in finding an exact method to get Android 2.1 on my phone now.
Thanks in advance!!!

Read completely thru this then do search in Dev.

download this
http://www.multiupload.com/9N5BJ7II13
and extract it
you should have 2 folders, x10 flash and the firmware folder. inside the x10flash folder, you will need to create a folder and name it 2.1. open up the firmware folder, copy all contents from that folder and put it in the 2.1 folder you just created in the x10 flashtool folder.
on your phone, go to settings > applications > developement and make sure usb debugging is enabled.
turn your phone off and unplug the usb cable.
run the x10flashtool bat file on your computer. click flash, there will be a separate pop up. highlight 2.1, but do no click ok yet. on your phone (still off), hold the back button while plugging in the usb port. once you see the green LED on your phone, click ok on the flashtool.
it should start flashing.
once it finishes flashing, it may take a couple minutes for your phone to boot back up. if it doesn't turn back on after about 2 minutes after fininshing flashing, press the power button. it may take a few minutes to fully boot up.
once it boots up, click root on the flash tool and follow the instructions.
after rooting, download this

i would suggest only running the JIT option. unless you want to strip everything out of the firmware (you may loose some options you want).
after you get JIT enabled, go into market and purchase root explorer. excellent app to have. once you buy/install that, open root explorer, go to system/app, click mount as R/W. delete these apk's and only these ones (unless you think you want to use any of them)

Yes it is normal. You can think of H as 3.5G which is better than 3G. It is what every U.S. wireless company is falsely advertising as 4G
I was just wondering about why my phone couldnot get this 'H' network aka 4G network when my phone was running android 1.6 and was not flashed???

Are you opening product code RM-801 or have you moved the firmware to a different folder? Not much can be done from the RM-801 folder.
I'm just having problems installing Nokia Care Suite. It gets so far and I get a 1220 error.

It's some odd registry error, right? I think you just click through it. You'll have to navigate to the program folder to open the launcher. IIRC, that's what I had to do.

This. In order for the Programming menu to be available, you need to select "Open Product" from the File menu and choose the correct product code (RM-819, RM-801, etc.).
My problem is I can never get passed the "Checking Mode" or "Starting" stage. I keep pressing the volume up button + insert USB cable until I feel a short vibration. After that, Windows will recognise my device as DLOAD and after a short while, the device restarts. Nokia Case Suite will then prompt me to unplug the USB cable, shutdown the device and do the volume up + insert USB cable routine again. Rinse and repeat. What did I do wrong? I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
EDIT: I solved my problems by going to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\ directory and manually installing all the x64 drivers.
Im also having a few problems with NCS... i just figured I would piggy back off this thread rather than start a whole new one....
When installing I get a error that says.... "ERROR 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\nokia\Service Layer \C\Service Modules\ServiceModule_00003\msml4.dll failed to register" I hit ignore but now when i connect my phone to my PC... it isnt being recognized as DLOAD or QC or anything. I am at a loss... i went through and installed the drivers that were in the Nokia folder manually, except one it wouldnt install for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem on my lumia 920. I didn't find a solution yet. This thread is the only thing I found so far.
Edit: I tried ncs on x64 w7 and x86 w8

Factory Reset went terribly wrong!

Hello guys. I have been using ADW Launcher for a long time. After I rooted my Android, I uninstalled the stock launcher cause I thought it was useless... I have been trying to find a way to install a custom ROM on my Android, and found a site where it said before I start, I should do a Factory Reset. I forgot that the FR would delete my ADW Launcher, I did it.
Now, whenever I boot my phone, I am stuck on a black screen instead of my ADW Launcher!
I can't buy a new phone at the moment, so I desperately need your help! I know it was stupid, but please, dont' judge... ;u ;
This is the phone I have: sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-mini-pro/

Go to a windows pc and do it like here in number 2. You can flash it with flashtool, so connect it to pc while holding volume up! That's it!
Or another one: Did you install cwm? Then you could download the 4.0.A.0.69 zip from here. Then you just go to recovery and click mounts/storage and mount your usb storage. You push the zip to your phone and flash the .zip. Then you are on 4.0.A.0.69, but only do this if you were on Gingerbread before, if you were on ics, just flash your phone with flashtool. Go to a windows pc and flash it
If your pc recognizes phone again you could install cwm with that tool. But better flash the ftf!
What do you mean by "my phone doesn't connect"? Does it charge whn you plug usb? Do the leds light up?
If you really do not have access to a pc there are two other solutions:
Install windows on your mac using bootcamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
or
Create a vritual machine using virtual box
Enjoy
P.S
Next time you walk into an electronics store take a moment for yourself, breathe calmly, look at all the offers around you and ponder "wouldn't any of these machines that have 3times the power at 1/3 the price of a macbook a far wiser choice?" This should keep you from repeating foolish mistakes. Your parents are very wise at not letting you near a pc.

I already have bootcamp. But, I am trying my hardest to work on a Mac, since I know what to do. And yes, the LED lights, but it doesn't connect!
If you have bootcamp, do you alread have a pc partition set up? why don't you use that?
It is very hard to work on these things from a mac, it's THE rival to the android world so compatibility is the lowest possible.
As far as i know (and the cyanogen wiki goes) there are no simple methods for using flashtools on a mac, so best thing is to use bootcamp and load it from there.
Can you be more specific when you say that your phone "doesn not connect"?

I do have Windows setup.
When I say it doesn't connect, I mean that the LED goes on, it starts charging, but I can't access my SD card, nor can I access the Sony Bridge Mac... So I can't do anything with the phone!
Also, a new problem arose. I can't click home. When I click the home button nothing hgappens!
Do you already have sdk tools installed on you mac?
If not
- go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, donwload mac version
- go into /platform tools/ and execute the android file
- in /platform tools/ open cmd window and execute "chmod +x fastboot-mac"
- execute "./adb devices", it should give a response if device is connected properly
-If all the above works then all you need to do is get any launcher.apk, place it in the /platform tools and execute "./adb push launcher.apk /system/app"
-If phone doesn't get recognized by the mac some people reported a problem with easy thether, so in terminal type sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext and check if that solves the issue
This is how to manuall install an app from host. Hope it helps.
Btw, do you have cwm recovery installed? Also does the phone reboot constantly or when you get to final loading it just start giving a constant fc message from home?
Which home button started working? on the phone? Of course it does nothing, if you deleted the home app....
As long as connection works and leds light up phone isn't dead

Alright I am on PC. How do I flash?
Well your only problem was the missing home.apk right? You don't need to reflash the whole firmware if you don't want to...here are the two options anyway:
Requisites: adb drivers. Make sure you have the adb drivers for the phone, if not http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623199
Method 1)
-Download flashtool
-Download your phone's stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
-Place ftf file in the programs firmware folder
-Start flashtools, select flash icon, point to the ftf file you downloaded earlier (after selecting flash mode)
-holder volume down button and connect usb (with phone powered off) when flashtools prompts you to
-Wait for installation. Done
Method 2)
-Download sdk tools (as said above)
-Download/extract from any rom or market a launcher.apk
-Put apk into platfrom-tools folder
-Opend a cmd window and navigate to your platform-tools folder
- Type adb device to make sure device is connected and recognized (this time it can be turned on and plugged in)
- type "adb remount"
- type adb push (or install) launcher.apk /system/app/
- reboot
Done

You need to install the ADB sony drivers... 's1fastboot' requires these. Do a search on google and they will pop up.
actually here are the drivers:
HSPA+ http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-driver/
LTE http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-c6833-c6806-c6843-driver/
If PC companion still doesnt work then you will need to use 'flashtool' and can then flash an FTF firmware file.
flashtool: http://dfiles.eu/files/lbbuacfhe
.532 firmware: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_rMaA9i_MUSRi1zWlpCOXV4RUE/edit?usp=sharing
I was thinking of making a video on how to do all of these steps, however I have to fly out in a couple of hours so wont have time until next week...
thank you .... !! i will try all these ... i have a slow internet..

Next time, don't try to tweak a stock kernel. If you're not sure how stuff works, don't mess with it. If you're not sure about something then ask us before you do stuff like this. There's a reason why we're all here.

I emailed you this, but may have gone to spam..
they are just driver ini files and system config settings.
1) right click on my computer
1a) properties
2) device profile
3) look for devices without drivers
4) update driver
5) advanced/
6) have disk
7) use the unzipped folder as the location
8) yes continue with unsigned driver version
done
i may have missed a step as I only have access to my Ultra at the moment, but thats what you need to do

Fast boot asks for .img or .sin files. Doesn't accept ftf.* . . My phone is into boot loop. . Can't use Sony pc companion as it restarts b4 the pc companion can install the drivers. . I need to use fast boot exclusively. ..

The correct for fastboot is blue led always on
When using S1 mode the green led blinks then no led if im right
And use flashtool instead, much easier
