Sony Flashtool - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Im looking fir an older version of Sony Flashtool, older than 0.9.13.0 to work on a Mac or a Windows. For some reason the current one wont work for me. Anyone know of any links to an older version?

I would avoid older versions as it may end in a brick.
What errors is flashtool giving?

The current one for me also doesn't work properly, keeps giving me header error when flashing. I found out this is because of driver problem. With the 9.11 version the driver is SEMC Device, with 9.13 the driver was S1 Device.
You can google for the 0.9.11 flashtool androxyde and get it from that direct download links google gives you, thats what i did.

[FTF] Relock the bootloader using Flashtool

Hi,
Here is a Flashtool bundle that will relock the bootloader.
It will install the stock 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 kernel and then relock the bootloader.
EDIT :
Now this ftf is part of flashtool install. Get the latest release here
Regards,
Androxyde
Working great!
Hi Androxyde
i´ve run ftf file and on kernel info appear:
HTML:
2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
[email protected] # 1
Sun Jun 19 22:24:46 2011
so stock kernel was properly installed yet one doubt:
Shouldn´t i be able to see plugins on flashtool so that i can unlock again?
On previous version i was able to see this image but on last one can´t even see anything
EDIT: could be because of "androidversions=2.1,2.2,2.3"? witch mean if we have a 2.3.7 this won´t recognize?

It's because of the Android version you have. I search for a string starting with 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 pattern in the result of android version.
You can go to custom\features\UnlockBL\features.properties (or devices\X10\features\UnlockBL cause in older versions it was in the devices folder) and edit the androidversions property to add BlackEdition for example :
androidversions=2.1,2.2,2.3,BlackEdition
then it should work

Looks like I'm getting wifi errors when doing this. It just shows an error message when trying toggle wifi. I was running Dooms unlocked kernel 5a.
Edit: Installed the ThKernel (Stock) from Appman (on the TEAM Rom) and wifi has been restored.

Despite the fact you had resolve your issue this will be valid for others.
How can you expect wifi to work without proper wifi modules?!
If this is stock kernel obviously you have to install correspondent Wi-Fi modules. Isn't that what everyone does after install any available kernel?!

That is what I ended up deducing. I was quick with my itchy posting finger and posted my comment before I did my own quick test. I left my comment the way it was just in case someone had the same issue as me. It was not obvious to me at first but I figured it out rather quickly. And no, not everyone installs wifi modules after flashing a kernel. I didn't so I'm not included in your "everyone" category.

"everyone" was a figure of style (not sure if this exist in English ) either way i should have putted 99%
i know not everyone (FXP, my own rom were an example of it).
final thought. my point´s still valid
@Mods
i think this should be sticky. may be 2 important to get lost in a couple of weeks
my 2 cent tho.

In case of bad unlock with loss of network services, you can revert back to original.
My reasoning is that I am selling my phone and the person buying it wants to sim unlock his phone. As such revert.
Edit: Thanks Androxyde, will be sending a donation ASAP.

wrong thread, it should be asked in the flashtool thread, this one for bootloader relock
To your questions: The plugin only appears if you have the correct andriod and kernel version. the android version is correct, but the kernel version is not stock one, that's why the plugin stays hidden.

[Q] Go Back to Stock 2.3.3 from FeraLab ICS V4 (unlocked BL)

Hello all,
First i would like to thank FeraLab for the great ICS V4 ROM work.
I am relatively new to flashing/etc but with some careful reading, i managed to install it on my X10i after unlocking the bootloader.
I've played with ICS v4 for some weeks and i did not find any major problems in any aspect / function of phone (data,wifi,camera,battery, apps, etc).
However, i've decided to go back to the Stock 2.3.3 ROM, and after looking quite enough (search) in the forum i could not find anyone who went back to 2.3.3 stock from ICS V4 with unlocked bootloader. I've looked in the whole ICS V4 thread for this and searching the entire forum.
I could not post a reply in the ICS thread since i have never made any post so far. (i always prefer not to ask anyone before i read enough)
But, in this case, if it is not too much to ask, could you kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Eros
We can use PC Companion or SEUS to refert to stock, and.... no need to relock the bootloader.

Actually, that was the 1st thing i tried (companion) but for some reason it does not work. It does detect the phone but the
option "repair" phone does not even come up. It only detects it and then reports PC companion needs to be updated
and redirects to the SE website for downloading new SW (which still does not work).
Any ideas? I cannot tell if this issue is due to Unlocked Bootloader or the FeraKernel.
Thanks,
Eros

I've got all files for FlashTool use (and know what to do if it comes to that).
I just wanted to make sure of what i do next - avoid brick.
If FlashTool is the way to go, then i guess there is no choice.
[edited] Ok, just flashed it to Generic 2.3.3 successfully.
Thank you for quick replies and guide lines.

That version can't be rooted using bin4ry's method via .bat file or flashtool. Either unlock the bootloader and flash a rooted kernel or flash back to an older firmware that can be rooted and OTA update.

donwgrade to previous version.. and root it .. after that flash it agian.. thats the only solution..
Assuming that you have installed following:
- Android ADB
- latest Flashtools & (driver) - antivirus disabled
- mobile is readily getting into flashmode and fashboot mode.
- usually i dont go into these hasles i install and flash CWM and then install custom ROM which are far better than stock rom.

[Q] Xperia P - Flashtool

I read the tutorials about the flashtool. They allways say got to the flashtoolhomepage and download the latest Version for your device.
When i go to the side http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1376035560000 i just can't find a Version for the Xperia P.
So either I'm on the wrong side or section or i have to use a Version for another device.
So please, can someone point me to which Version is correct for me? Thanks a lot.

Maybe they just gave up on updating latest versions, you can find one, or make one yourself from PCC files.
I found my error. I was serching on the firmewarepage and thought they made diffrent versions for the diffrent devices.

An error occurred while preparing to update your device. Your device is unchanged.
Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact Sony support.
Error code: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure

Ok so is this because I have the AndroPlus kernel? What am I missing, I haven't seen this problem articulated by anyone else so I am guessing I am missing something simple but can't for the life of me understand what.
I am new to Sony devices and certainly long for the simplicity of HTC updates... Why does Sony make things so difficult when it doesn't have to be...

I agree that smasung or HTC tablet is better as it has custom roms. But for me, having Sony tablet is also a great deal especially after being a user of ios, and having endless awaiting of jailbreak.
Pccompanion suppose you to have untouched system files, in order to save all your data on internal storage after an update , and if you modified it with xposed, luckypatcher and other stuff. Of course something goes wrong if pccompanion tries to update it with saving data.
For me, using flashtool is no problem at all. Important information is saved on sdcard, apps are recovered by google account.

Thanks. My only point with HTC was that you only need to know your way around ADB and Fastboot really and you can load just about anything when the bootloader is unlocked.
I have Flashtool working but stuck at the part where I am trying to flash the update to the device as it says the device isn't in debug mode but I have usb debugging selected and I've reloaded drivers so I am not certain were to go from here with it.
Ok so finally got MM loaded and have loaded AndroPlus V20 loaded. Can't for the life of me find a link for downloading the TWRP 3.0 image, TWRP doesn't list the Xperia Z4 Tablet in their devices list at all and I am totally baffled as to where I even found the 2.8.7 image I had.
I find no posts with a download link anywhere in the Z4 forums, what am I missing? I am not normally this helpless in finding stuff on XDA but it really seems that anything for this device is a struggle...
