PC Companion new update download location? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have .200 update available for my Z2, but I am rooted and I want to pack my own ftf and make my own flashable zip, as I always did(to keep my customization number because I don't want to install a firmware with another customization number), so, as always, I download the update from PC Companion and select to install it later when the download is done. Usually, the update is in C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\*some numbers*\blob_fs, but the problem is that I can't find the .200 update there. Did Sony changed the download location for the phone updates?

Yes, now the FILESET_XXXXXXX files are located on: C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\localstorage\13740280 or some number that may change.

Ok, thank you, I've found it a few minutes ago, and I've excluded simlock and the other two .ta files.

In the Firmware Selection dialog, check that the "Select source folder" option is pointing to the right folder:

I had the exact same issue. It was resolved for me when I made sure the ftf file was a complete download (it had interrupted and I did not notice)

I have been reading threads and i believe i have completed every step
Does this looks correct ?
1- Download original firmware via : XperiFirm_3.1_(by_IaguCool)
2- create FTF file via : flashtool-0.9.18.3-windows
3- Download supersu : http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip
4- Download Z2 dual recovery : Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip (7.76MB) : http://nut.xperia-files.com/
5- Download PRF creator : http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

Downgrade Nokia 1 TA-1066 from Android 10 Go to Android 8.1 Go

The Nokia 1 recently got the Android 10 update. The update got lot of bugs like SD card losing write permissions, launcher3 not having widgets and shortcuts on top of other bugs in Pie.
This has compelled me to look for going back to Android 8.1 Oero where it has best compatibility.
I have no experience in flashing images.
So far, I have found firmware files from here.
I want to know how to flash those files via adb/fastboot or any other process and whether it will work for Nokia 1 TA-1066 (if device variants matter for this purpose).
In one of the zip files(FIHSW_FRT-1550-0-00WW-B03_600WW_8.1.0_20190305.full.deflate.4fefafc6c6b7373b7961be504e49a9684f4e8730.zip) I downloaded, following are file files inside.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[UPDATE]: I used the SP Flash Tool to install firmware for my phone and it worked.

Question Need Help with FRP Lock Removal

Quick Summery:
Device Model:
AP: T220XXU1AUJ1
CSC: T220OXM1AUJ1
Downloaded latest Firmware from Samfw
I have Odin3 v3.14 and was able to reflash this firmware np
I have FRPJ Hacker installed and works but I get this error every time: SW Rev Check Fail: [userdata]
Fused 1> Binary 0
Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed: userdata
Using 7Zip to Extract AP and BL
So now I found this guide with Odin3 where it says I need to make a Combination file and this should do the trick to remove it. But this is the part I'm stuck at it. Because I can't find 2-3 Files needed to make this Combination File. Only one I can find is the boot.img,lz4. I can't find the sboot.img.lz4 and system.img.lz4. Will upload a SS of both extractions so you guys can see what I can see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Have any A7 Lite users here with the same Model Number as me, done this before? And have Combination File I can just download to make things faster and easier?
You are able to flash via ODIN is it??

TL;DR: The device thought you're try to downgrade, so it refused to boot up.
Have same problem in flashing CN model with JP firmware, and even can't restore through Companion because it says no compatiable version to flash.
And you either wait for the firmware update for that region, or...
JUST FLASH A BOOTABLE VERSION AND THEN FLASH DESIRESD OEM/MODEM SIN FILES AFTER THAT.
