[Q] Sony Flash Tool Vs Xperia Flasher (XDA Flasher) - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

So I just noticed that Sony have added the Xperia T to their own flash tool application, has anyone used it, what are the pros/cons of using this over the one that's plastered all over the Xperia T forums?

That tool has been linked in the all in one thread for a long time....I still suggest using the flashtool developed by androxyde though, its set up for deving and has more uses than the sony version. (Althoug I have never used it, I dont think I will..)

The Sony one is mainly an official way for people that unlock their bootloaders to get back to a stock device. The xda developed one is of course unofficial and had more features.

When I plug in my TX (LT29i) into the Sony Zperia flashtool by Bin4ry & Androxyde it is not recognized. There are no options to add this device. Suggestions?

goto the driver folder in the installation path for flashtool and run driver.exe
choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers

Xperia V - Stock Kernel Unsecure+Debuggable 9.0.D.0.484

Hi,
Just got my Xperia V (LT25i) yesterday.
Here is Stock Kernel from firmware 9.0.D.0.484
It has set ro.secure=0 and ro.debuggable=1
Nothing else is touched.
Download Link
http://ul.to/n98e5duw
How to use this ??
Just unlock your bootloader from http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and flash the kernel using
Code:
fastboot flash boot lt25i-unsecure-debuggable.elf
Instructions : -
for windows Users, just install latest flashtool and go to x10_flasher_lib folder, shift+rightclick and open command window here and enter the above code ^^
Linux users will need SDK installed with sdk in path and android-rules set in udev.
Thanks to Bin4ry and Androxyde for the awesome Flashtool that helps converting blob_fs files to sin
Thanks to my kernel kitchen that allows fast editing of ramdisk in elf
I have a LT25i that is International LTE version, with firmware 9.0.D.0.484.
This kernel is not tested on anything else.

Excellent, I will link to the all in one thread for the moment, but do you expect another forum for the V? I think there ahould be with such a differnece in firmware, but while you are here I will make you feel welcome.
Any chance of uploading the ftf? Let me know, I will stick it in the allin one thread as well.

Cheers, what do you reckon the chance of the ftf working on the T?
I can flash it but dont know much about this new firmware, is it close enough to be compatable? Saves me googling whilst I am cooking tea for my wife and 3 kids...
Since it is stock kernel, can I flash it with flashmode instead of fastboot on my locked bootloader?

You can use either flashtool or fastboot to flash kernels, flashtool uses fastboot
However, alhough these are stock based kernels, they are custom kernels and therefore not signed by Sony, therefore only unlocked botloaders will be able to flash them

IC, good explanation! :good:
1) If I want to save the stock kernel.sin from my ftf, do I just extract it with winrar?
2) What is .elf?
3) If I flash a stock kernel on unlocked bootloader, will it be problems?
Ps. I am coming from ARC and get my phone tomorrow:laugh:

1: yep. also to flash a sin kernel you need the loader.sin with it
2: .elf is the equivalent of boot.img on ARC it is packed in a different method but the way to use it is same
3: yes. no problem at all

Thank you again, last question :angel:
Where do I put the loader.sin and kernel.sin?
How do I flash it? (locked bootloader)

You cant flash it. You are on a locked bootloader.
But it is the exact same kernel you have except its rooted. You will probably be able to root using bin4ry's method, then you wont need a rooted custom kernel.
I know now, just strip down a ftf file, keep kernel and loader.sin and use it later with flashtool when new firmware comes that cant be rooted with bin4ry.
This should work on locked bootloader.

If you want the stock kennel then you can download the stock kernel from the all in one thread. I have posted the 303 and 195 stock kernels there
Sent from my LT30p xda premium app.
How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?

[FTF] Xperia V (LT25i) 9.0.D.0.484-INTL-GENERIC

This is the Xperia V (LT25i) INTERNATION LTE Stock Firmware in FTF format.
This does not need a unlocked bootloader or any work on our part. Anyone can flash it.
All you need to do is, use the flashtool by Androxyde & Bin4ry ,
push the big lightning button (that stands for flash) and locate the FTF file on PC
and then connect the phone to PC in flashmode.
A stock FTF file is essential to "make your phone just the way it was when it was released" and also to repair from a soft-brick.
This FTF does not contain bootloader S1boot.bin so it will NOT relock your bootloader if you already have unlocked bootloader

Will link to the AIO thread
s1 boot has been reported not to lock bootloaders again, it did not relock mine.
downloading, i will give it a flash on my t...lets see whats happening
Moved from Development as is just another stock file and not development. All other stock files for T, TL and TX are here so no reason for the V to be any different.
Thanks

Flashed on LT30p with baseband and kernel excluded.

Not really surprising but i might as well tell you so no one else bothers.

Probably Yes, but why do you want to flash a firmware with less functions than AX?
(V is called AX in the japanese market including infrared port data exchange, mobile wallet and mobile TV).

Odd . same chipset, I think if you only keep the base band it'll work .. excluding the kernel is probably what caused the boot loop. thoughts ?

I could try again, but not now I am going out for a few hours. If anyone else wants to try, then give it a go and report back.
Greg let me know if it works please.
An MD5 sum would really be appreciated. I got ac55243077918a8c9e266f1873bd113f
Any one else?
Has anyone tested this on the T / TL ?
Hi and thanks for the FTF but could you fix the new 9.0.1.D.0.10 also?
Could someone make deodexed version of this ROM or version 9.0.1.D.0.10?
Which one is the newest for xperia v? 9.0.1.D.0.10 or 9.0.D.0.484 ?

No the bootloader on the TL can not be unlocked at this time.
Unbuntu is still testing. Lots of features are not working at this time.

Yes, if your bootloader is locked. I suggest read stickies in general section. Look for Doomlord's and XperienceD's threads.
