Help to upgrade to Oreo - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Could someone please tell me a step by step how I could upgrade my xperia x to oreo using xperifirm?
because I've already downloaded the firmware in xperiafirm, I activated debugging and I gave the flash just to update, but it just does not update, nothing happens.
the version of my firmware and Brazilian and until today the sony did not release here.
If someone can help me, I would be grateful.
Obs: I already placed the fsc file in the F51XX folder and it did not work.

Xperifirm is just a downloader!
its FLASHTOOL who creates BUNDLE of those downloaded firmware ( C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads)
however if you have ran xperifirm independently, you will have to create ftf bundle manually from FLASHTOOL. which is itself is a long process!
i would suggest, you run xperifirm again from FLASHTOOL (open flashtool and at the buttons click XP button) , download your firmware AGAIN. and once download complated,
1. close the download window
2. close xperifirm
3. immediately FLASHTOOL will be triggered automatically to create BUNDLE of new downloaded firmware.
4. it will ask FSC cript dialog box, click OK/YES and flashtool will create ftf bundle in next 10 mins at C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares\
once done

ATT 1.6a Firmware?

Hi,
Anyone have the AT&T 1.6a firmware? I'm on a generic 2.1a and might want to downgrade back to the OEM firmware.
Thanks

It's part of the flash package. I tried to see if I could get back to 1.6, if needed.
It worked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
Search for AT&T ROM
Thanks for the fast answer. I've downloaded the x10a shipped 1.6 rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
I also downloaded the flasher. Extracted the flasher, then the rom overwriting some files. Got the device ID, put it into the txt file and then started the bat. Saw a series of commands and it said test end. However, now when I boot up the phone, I get a phone with a yellow exclamation mark. What did I do wrong?

This is the AT&T ROM:
CDA: 1237-3761
Decrypted ROM: X10a - AT&T R2CA016 - http://www.multiupload.com/TNDA6OG60U
I've had better luck with non-GIU flasher, make sure there is a loader.sin file in your firmware folder. My folder has 7 files (with).
EDIT: make sure you choose wipe user data

The 1st, 1 for X10 is jsut getting the right loader.sin. There should be a "loaders" folder in the root where you extracted the flash. If there is a loader.sin in your "firmware" folder, no problem. But it sounds like you do not. Follow the Flash2.1 thread to find where to get the loader.sin.
The 2nd tries to build a bat file to get your device ID, needs DevID folder. If the DeviceID.txt file in the base directory again should be OK.
Check for loader.sin
If loader.sin does not fix for you I will look into further.
If you got this far repair under PC Companion may work.
Sorry for long post, alternative is to tell you to read, not always helpful to new user.

[HOW-TO] Unbrick your XZU

If your XZU freezes / restarts while booting, it's probably soft-bricked (in fact it's almost impossible to hard-brick it). Use this guide for a clean restore:
- internal data will be wiped
- no root required
- no unlocked bootloader required
- Windows is required
Download Flashtool: link to krabappel2548's post
Install Flashtool
Install drivers using the Flashtool-drivers.exe which is located inside the "driver"-folder of the installation path of Flashtool. Include the flashmode, the fastboot and the XZU drivers.
Download or build a full stocked FTF firmware file fitting your model. Choose Method A (fast) or B (recommended):
Method A (fast): Download a complete FTF-file from the XDA forum (for example link for C6833 or link for C6802 or search the forum for a up to date firmware fitting your model). Move the FTF-file to the "firmwares"-folder of the installation path of Flashtool.
- or -
Method B (recommended): Build your own .FTF file with the newest official stocked firmware:
Install Sony PC Companion: link
Do not connect your smartphone to your pc. Start Sony PC Companion, choose "Support Zone", start the software update. Click on repair and accept everything on the following dialogues. Sony PC Companion will start downloadng the newest firmware.
When the download is finished, exit Sony PC Companion. Use the search function of windows to locate a folder named "blob_fs". This is the place where Sony PC Companion dumped the downloaded firmware. You need 4 files named "FILE_XXXXXXXXX", which have different numbers and no filename extension. There are two small files < 1 mb, one medium sized (circa 20 mb) and one big file ( > 700 mb). Ignore the ICON_ files.
Start flashtool.
Choose Tools > SEUS Decrypt. Choose the "blob_fs" folder as source. Convert the 4 files. Wait until the Bundler dialogue pops up. Content everything you just decrypted and fill in the three fields (Device, Branding and Version). Click on "Create". Wait until it's finished. You will find your fresh FTF file in the "firmwares"-folder of the installation path of Flashtool. Leave the file where it is.
Now it's time to flash the FTF on your XZU. Start flashtool if you haven't yet.
Turn off your XZU and wait at least 5 seconds. If you cannot turn off your XZU, hold the power- and volume-up-button at the same time for 3 seconds. Your XZU will vibrate briefly and poweroff. Or push the button inside the Micro SIM card slot: link to Kiwi Tech video. If you choose the last method, don't forget to leave a youtube comment on Kiwi Tech's video declaring war on his overlong intro
Plug in a fitting USB cabel to a USB 2.0 port of your PC. Do not use a USB 3.0 port. Enter Flashmode: Hold down the volume-down-button and connect your XZU to the prepared USB cabel. You can release the button when the LED lights up.
Flashtool will notice your XZU in flashmode (check log). If not, reinstall the drivers using Flashtool-drivers.exe. Inside flashtool, click on the lighting symbol. Choose Flashmode.
Choose a full FTF firmware & click on "Flash". Wait until it's finished.
Your XZU is now unbricked. Have fun
I got my Z1 Ultra today, unlocked bootloader and tried to get root following "[HOW-TO] ROOT 14.1.B.2.257 and poosibly newer Sony Roms"
I screwed it up and the phone boot looped. I now realize flashtool was at fault refusing flashing stuff. I reinstalled it lots and then installed it one more time with version .12
I tried flashing and now it finally flashes the newest firmware!
I guess my phone will be okey now .
--
Yep, phone works.
Thanks for this thread.
If I go with method B how I know that it will download the latest firmware for XZU not for any other sony phone.

After decrypting you will get a elabel .sin-file, which includes information about the firmware version (for example "elabel-C6833-row_201310161732.1_14.1.B.2.257_XXX"). During the repairing process of the Sony Pc Companion a screen will pop up and asks you to choose your smartphone modell. But at that point your download is already finished, which is quiet confusing too me. For me it worked perfectly and the built FTF file got the estimated file size (circa 780 mb). Maybe someone can test method B to the point where you decrypt the files and tell me if he got the fitting elabel.sin?

[Q][SOLVED] Sony Xperia P Bootloop

Hello guys. I read many of your threads and tutorials but I am stucked and desperated.
I have a Sony Xperia P 6.2.a.0.400 version.
First of all I unlocked bootloader with the sony official guide.
Then I installed CMW and rooted my phone or so I think.
Last I put the latest Cyanogenmod for kit kat and flashed the zip.
After that I rebooted but the phone stucked on CyanognMod 10.2 animation (a circle spinning around)
Some times it appears that the systemui has stopped or mosto of the times it's just spinning around.
What can I do? I can access my phone anymore. Is there any solution?

Download Flashtool and install it, then download an ftf firmware (just search on xda). Find the Flashtool installation directory, for me it's C:/Flashtool, go in to firmwares (C:/Flashtool/firmwares) and put your ftf file there. Now open Flashtool, click on the flash button then choose flashmode and you should see your firmware file there. click on it then on the right hand side in the wipe box untick everything, then in the exclude box tick everything apart from SYSTEM. Click on flash and wait until it tells you to connect your device, then turn off your phone, wait 5 seconds, hold the volume up button and connect your phone to your PC. That should reflash the system partition on to your phone :victory:

[SOLVED] U20i - Going back to stock software/firmware in 2019

I've had a little nightmare and spent a whole day trying to get this ancient Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20i) to the stock software, so I thought I would share with you how to do it in case anyone needs to do the same. (In my case I did this to get £100 cashback trading in the U20i for a new phone -- with according to T&C could not have modified software)
So what you need is:
- A copy of the U20i firmware, this comes on an FTF bundle to flash with Flashtool - Get these from here (Live June 2019): https://www.mediafire.com/folder/m07tam9mit6jj/X10_Mini_Pro_(U20)
- An old version of FlashTool (as the latest does not work with the U20i and other older phones), this link has the flashtool-0.9.0.0 for windows: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B8HYFIy2LVm5OUVxczI0WEdIbjg&export=download
The process is pretty simple:
1 - Install FlashTool 0.9.0.0 in Windows
2 - Once installed go to the drivers folder and install the drivers for U20i/your phone + flashmode & fastboot
3 - Place the FTF file downloaded from above in the 'firmwares' folder.
4 - Press the first icon (lighting icon) and connect using 'Flashmode', the program will tell you how and what to press.
5 - Select the U20i stock software (that you downloaded and put in the folder as per step 3) from the list
6 - Press flash and cross ya fingers!
NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE IS ONLY VALID FOR U20i BASEBAND M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
If you flash it to any other phone/baseband you will brick it. However, use these instructions to fetch your own software for other models. GL with that as most links seem broken! ​

Found an old Xperia mini in the trash and the phone seems to be soft bricked, stuck in sony ericsson bootloop, tried everything i could think of. Found a .FTF file for it and tried flashing it with flashtool, flashtool says its flashing but nothing happens. Also tried all versions of xperia/sony ericsson PC companion for a normal software repair, but nothing seems to support this phone anymore. I could of course buy a working version of this phone for about 2-3 bucks on ebay but where's the fun in that? I've been playing around with android phones a lot in the past but I cant figure out how to proceed with this one.
I followed your guide, but flashtool (v0.9 something) doensnt find the .ftf file in flashmode, I can only install via .img, .sin and something else in fastboot mode. Flashtool recognizes the phone correctly both in flashmode and fastboot mode but doesnt seem to do anything.
Any pro tips on how to proceed? Thanks
