Hi!
Even though i have a nandroid backup of my current state it would feel alot better to also have an FTF file with my current configuration. Is this possible? All i can find is how to make the file with a clean install.
This is what i usually do to my PC when i have it setup with all drivers and software... make a ghost image... so I am hoping it is possible with this phone.

That was unfortunate... guess i´ll have to do with copying my entire phone to my pc instead and keep the ftf i have downloaded for my region just in case. Thank you for your reply :good:

All,
I have heard that the decryption has changed and the process of creating FTF is different.
Can someone put some light on it and also "how to" - would appreciate
First you need the new(beta) and old flashtools.
Decrypt the 2 files that you took from sony update service with the new flashtool.
Copy from the devices folder(FTBeta) "C660x" to the old Flashtool devices folder.
Use the old flashtool to create a bundle by indicating where the decrypted files.
Sorry for my bad English.

I think it's the same way isn't it?

It's the same but flashtool beta cannot create a bundle that's why.

When i select the FTF provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279661&highlight=ftf+original the "original FTF" after preparing the files in flashtool. it ask me to connet my device in flashmode. when i connect my device in flash mode it says "Connected device in Flashmode" after that nothing happens. im stuck at "Connected device in Flashmode"
Sorry for my Bad English
yes, my device can be detected. i try repairing using PC companion but no luck. i think because of the C6602 thing. i try the SEUS but it only say that im on the latest firmware. i can't repair it.

A quick question gm007, what flashtool number are you using? I downgraded to beta4 and the TA was NOT ticked. I have noticed a number of threads about updating to latest firmware peoples TA were pre-ticked?
Cheers Rob

yeah I just read that people using beta9 were having the problem, wish I knew that before I downgraded to 4 but that's ok I'm happily running .253.
gm007,
You're a life saver. For the best few days I've been unable to flash anything - just wouldn't work. Tried multiple machines, multiple versions of flashtool. Nothing. I thought my phone must've had issues but just tried what you said and BOOM it worked. I can't thank you enough!
Hi guys,
My problem is this:
Following DooMLoRD's root procedure from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
I have downloaded the kernel shown in the instructions, copied it into the firmwares folder, opened it and connected my Z
Trouble is that the flash process stops at exactly 23% each freaking time, when the log says writing data or smth.
Tried on Mac too, same result, I'm quite lost, HELP! ^_^
Pretty straight forward procedure.
Once on .244 firmware, flash. 423 kernel. Root it, and reflash .244 one.
Cheers

Sure but the issue is that flashtool is getting stuck when flashing the kernel for .423, it f*cks up and locks at 23% on both windows and mac.
I understood the procedure.
welp!
Have you tried re-download the files? Maybe it's corrupted.
Post your flashtools log and we will see what we can do, dude

Does flashing firmwares void warranty? Also does it have any effect on lets say the emic or flash storage on the phone? And lastly, isn't that 14.1.G.534 a prototype/journalist firmware?

You wont lose warranty by flashing firmwares,and no it wont affect the storage soon.
I don't know if .543 is for prototype,i don't have the phone yet.
