I’ve been following this forum for quite some time but never had anything smart to say or ask before today. So this is my first post and call for help in the same time!
I have Sony Tablet S32GB Wi-Fi only, purchased in UAE (Model: SGPT112AE/S).
Used S.onyTablet.S v2.4 [FLASHER] to upgrade from Honeycombto R5A and now I’m stuck with device showing SONY logo and not booting further! The only (at least for me) unexpected moment during the flashing process was several force close dialogs that popped-up on the tablet while flashing current sys and a message “Cleaning up...” (after “Finished!”) that took more than 20 minutes so I’ve restarted tablet manually.
During the process I’ve picked “FLASH hidden.img from thisstock fw version” option.
Now when power-on device, boot process stops at SONY logo. I can use adb shell in both, normal and recovery mode (device status is recovery and shell commands are very limited) - device is recognized. Using S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v5.3 or FLASHER again, reports the same: ‘su’ binary not found. You need ROOT to use this function.
In recovery mode it states “Android system recovery (Rev.10)<3e>”and I can run option “Update system from SD card”. I downloaded updates from condi’s Google Drive and for both, encrypted and decrypted fws, error is the same: “E: Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku/Installation aborted.”; for custom prerooted fws error is “E: failed to verify whole-file signature/E: signature verification failed/Installation aborted.”.
I would be more than grateful for any help or suggestion how to proceed and recover my dear Tablet!

UH OH . Nah not really.
You are meant to have ICS before using flasher!!! Hence your issues. easy fix though.
Click on the first link in my signature. Search for Saudi Aribia? AE model???
Copy to SD
You will need to boot into recovery and select the file from recovery to install.
Then root using AiO, then use flasher to get R5a
Happy travels
Stifilz
Stifilz, thank you very much!
I did exactly what you said and now Tablet is on R5A and rooted! :highfive:
Saudi Arabia fw worked like a charm for my AE model; there were some problems with ADB drivers and when I solved that – AiO and Flasher finished job perfectly! :victory:
Once again, THANK you and I wish you great and fruitful year!

Tutorial Flashing Update Sony Xperia C4 E5333 for download errors, application errors, the touchscreen is not sensitive, exposed to the virus internal memory, loading a boot loop, until the hardbrick could be detected in a firmware update for the computer drivers. Below you can find the latest firmware for phones:
How to Flash the latest firmware to Sony Xperia C4 E5333
1.First of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the latest, you do not need this tutorial).
2.Download and install the latest Flashtool from this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
3. How To Use Sony Flashtool Tutorial can be found at this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
4.Download the latest Firmware Xperia C4 E5333 from all Sony firmware available in this following link:
http://zonexservice.blogspot.com/2015/06/all-stock-rom-sony-xperia-firmware.html?m=
5.Paste FTF file downloaded in step 4 to the folder "Firmware" in the folder Flashtool.
6.Open Flashtool, click on the flash and select the firmware which was downloaded, click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete the data from your phone, simply uncheck userdata.sin. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional problems. So it is better and i do recommend too, to perform a backup of your personal data, then continue with the installation raw and then restore your personal data.
7. Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows a pop-up window, connect the phone to the PC by clicking the volume down key until the green led color appears.
8. After a few minutes all done and you'll get a new updated firmware phone."
Hello, this is my first time here - I'm from brazil, so, first, please excuse me for the bad english.
I have a C4 Dual , model E5343 (Brazil retail), and months ago I've flashed the MEA version, model E5333 - 5.1
Now, the official 6.0 update of the E5343 is available for download with Xperia Companion. I've tried to download this version and flash it with the flash tools. All drivers and services are installed and activated (in 2 PCs), and I've downloaded 2 versions of the flash tools - both of them didn't worked. So, when I was about to flash, after selecting the model C4 (E5xxx), I've always got this message - Process finished with error - loader.sin.
Later I've tried to do the recovery with Xperia Companion, and it gives me this error message: UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo
E5343 3521 1295-0292 R3A 27.2.B.0.169.
What should I do? Wait for the OTA update? Or can I do anything to fix this errors so I could flash it correctly?
PS - Using fastboot or unlocking the bootloader would help somehow?
Thanks!
would you need to unlock bootloader first before you can flash?
Hi, my rooted Sony Xperia E5 phone( F3311 ) has started to fail when I tried to download the PS4 Remote app with Magisk, I could see the app in Playstore but everytime that I downloaded it the app showed me an error, so I tried many things to pass through SafetyNet succesfully, and nothing. Finally, I thinked about it a while and I De-rooted my device, I noticed that it was a mistake when I couldn't root it again, so I wiped my device and re-installed the root. All was fine, but when I wiped the Cache it showed me an error, "the Cache is busy". Although, I decided not to care about it and reboot my phone, then many error messages appeared showing this: "Unfortunately X app has stopped". I restored the backup and configurated my device, but when I tried to go to Home Screen an error message appeared: "Unfortunately com.sonymobile.anondata has stopped" spamming infinitely on a black screen. I tried to restore my phone to default presets many times but all that messages cames up again when I boot for the first time. What can I do??
Help =(
Sound is low
The sound is low in xperia e5 and tried many methods to solve it but I couldn't make it
Hey there,
I can tell you've messed up your device.
Never wipe your device when you've removed system apps.
Also, don't use Magisk to root this device; it's better to not use it at all, cause it's known to have problems on the E5.
You will have to start all over and flash the stock firmware.
Download Flashtool on your PC and get the E5 drivers for fastboot+adb.
Open up Flashtool and connect your phone with us; it should give you some kind of indication that the connection has been established.
In Flashtool itself there's a button which, when clicked on, will load up an other program called Xperifirm.
In Xperifirm you'll have to search for the latest E5 F3311 firmware and download it.
When it's finished downloading exit the program, and if prompted, run the included script to extract and automatically flash the firmware.
After flashing you'll have an unrooted stock firmware, without any problems or error messages, which you can manually root again by following my guide here on xda.
If you want modules, just install Xposed Framework instead of Magisk.
Good luck.
Marvin.

Hello, fortunately 1 day ago I did just that but without seeing your comment, but thanks a lot, you're by far a good user. I'm interested in your root guide for do it again but as it has to be made, again, thanks.
Hello , Guys
Since you all probably know, Lenovo A7020a48 has Android 6.0 Marshmallow which cannot be rooted because of the following :
1 - We got a locked bootloader, we can't flash or boot into custom recoveries and sadly at the moment I couldn't find a way to unlock it.
2 - We don't even have a custom recovery made for that model yet, I tried different version of TWRP for A7020a40 ~ A7020a46 models and they all crashed upon booting to them.
3 - Kingroot and similiar apps can't root Android 6.0.
So the only way to root your phone would be to downgrade it to Android 5.1 Lolipop which is easy.
Here is download links for the stock roms :
A7020a48_LL_S125_160419_ROW.rar.7z
A7020a48_S259_160721_ROW.7z
When you finish downloading please don't forget that we are going to use the SP Flash Tool provided in the rom as only that version "SP_Flash_Tool_5.1552.00" worked for me with no errors however with latest versions i got problems.
Obviously you are going to install the USB drivers and CDC drivers located at the "DRV_Tools" folder in the rom you downloaded.
after installing the drivers correctly turn off your phone, open SP flash tool, and choose the scatter file located at : "\SW\target_bin\MT6755_Android_scatter.txt" and then choose "Download Mode" then wait for it to finish checking the files, then click on the download button on the top left corner.
Then connect your device and wait for it to detect the device .
Wait until the flashing is complete Then After the green circle appears, simply disconnect your phone and boot into system normally.
Note: You might see a black box in the bottom left corner saying "efuse flash done or similar stuff" don't worry about it" it won't appear again however if you got an error saying "DL image failed" then you did something wrong repeat the previous steps again and make sure you choose everything correct especially your rom.
Now to the last part, finish the first time setup screens by skipping most of them and DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM AT ALL
if you got a notification to update, simply ignore it or press cancel, and open google chrome, download king root and wait for it to simply root you phone.
Congratulations that's the first part for rooting your phone.
Now to Fixing Your IMEI
Simply Enable USB debugging in options and enable OEM unlocking.
Then power off your phone.
Download this tool : MauiMETA_v9.1635.23.rar
Yes Again it has to be that specific versions, with other versions i couldn't connect to my device however with this version i could.
Extract it to a random location on your pc and MauiMeta.exe and click on options and enable "enable composite kernel usb (adb)" then click on reconnect.
Now you have to connect your device with usb and turn it on, don't worry MauiMeta will change the boot to META mode automatically after it starts booting leave it as it's and wait for the tool to connect to your phone.
***After it connects simply choose IMEI download and a new window should appear, first click on upload from flash button then click yes to retrieve the modem file from your phone, then simply type your IMEI ( Please note that changing your IMEI is illegal however you should only use this method to fix your IMEI not change it ! , you have been warned)
Note : IMEI numbers should be 15 numbers however with MauiMeta you should only type the first 14 number as the 15th number is only a checksum number and will be added automatically.
After typing the IMEIs and checking them simply click on download to flash.
After it says "flashing is successful" then close the window and click Disconnect, and your phone should turn off automatically and you should start it up again.
*** Note : If you have a corrupted NVRAM file on your phone then you are lucky since that rom comes with the modem db file as well to fix NVRAM issues, simply click "Change NVRAM database file" then click No to choose the file, The file exists in the ROM package you downloaded earlier in the following location : "SW\modemdb\MDDB_InfoCustomApp....etc.EDB" and continue the rest of the steps normally.
Please Note that I won't provide support for this, I have only created this tutorial to save time for other people and I'm not expert yet to fix all the problem you may face however after following these steps i managed to root my device and even fix the invalid imei errors i got.
Also if you found errors in my thread or mistakes Please let me know so i can fix them.
Good luck and Don't hard brick your phone XD

Hi,
I have recently bricked my AC70HELLO and tried uncessefully to flash stock firmware (from firmwarefile.com/archos-hello-7 ) but always got STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (with SP Flash Tools V5.1924 and V5.2020) or STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (with SP Flash Tools V5.1744) errors (with MTK_AllInOne_DA or DA_PL defaults DA).
Could you please share the Download Agent and the stock firmware from Archos ?
I have asked Archos for it in vain, they respond me "Sorry we don't have any FW available for this device. Thanks for your understanding," which got me a bit mad... I mean if my device's constructor doesn't have its stock firmware then who does ?
Here's the "latest" fimware from Archos http://update.archos.com/AFMv2/downloads/ac70hello_archos/20181101.075911/update.zip
Does anybody happen to have a reliable guides and reliable downloads to flash other firmwares to this Hello 7?
I tried several guides but somehow they are inconsistent, incomplete or simply not working. Some say I need TWRP without a link to a working image, others say I could use fastboot which generates "not allowed in locked state". I found out myself that I could work around that error by running "fastboot oem unlock" but after flashing, my Hello keeps hanging in a boot loop. (also after "fastboot oem lock")
Fortunately with @fraenK 's link, I could revert back to stock.
I have been using the Pixel Experience 10 GSI ROM from Expressluke so far. Other GSI ROMs should work as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis.4003457/

Hi everyone,
I bricked my Archos Hello 7 by trying to flash TWRP.
I'm looking to flash my device but it's hard to find informations for this device and nothing works for me.
I tried with SP Flash tool V5.1744 and few drivers versions without results.
I always have STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH or BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL.
Every time I plug my device, the detected USB is the "Mediatek PreLoader USB VCom", do you think it's the good driver ?
@buzz-27 can you (or someone else) upload your file again, the link on Free is dead.
@Dawnowl444 did you solve your flashing problem ?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
My AC70HELLO is still bricked unfortunately. I've got a corrupted logo.bin and no way to flash stock rom except with SP Flash Tool. But I can't get passed STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH error.
I tried this utility without much success...
GitHub - MTK-bypass/bypass_utility
Contribute to MTK-bypass/bypass_utility development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication
A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!
www.xda-developers.com
With --force I still get STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH and the utility says "Device secure boot: False ; Device serial link authorization: False ; Device download agent authorization: False" wich is weird...
Let me know if you got any more luck with that than me.
If your AC70HELLO is'nt really bricked you can try to flash back stock recovery via fastboot.
Hi Dawnowl444,
Thanks for your tips, I gonna try with bypass_utility but without hope .
Maybe we need to do some hardware tweak to allow to flash the device.
There is here a French tutorial to disassemble the Hello 7. http://rnc.free.fr/hello7/hello7.html
In the firmware I found online, the file Checksum.ini refers to the version 1708 of SP Flash Tool, I tried with itn but without success, maybe it can be successful for you.
Unfortunately, I can't boot into recovery mode, that's why I try to flash with the Flash Tool.
If I succeeded to flash my device I will let you known.
