Flashtool not detecting the Generic Singapore stock .ftf ROM - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I want to flash the Generic Singapore ftf but the flashtool dosen't detect it. It is able to detect all other ftf files but not the Generic Singapore ftf.
I tried rebooting the PC, tried moving the ftf file out of the firmwares folder to the desktop and browse and select it manually, renaming the ftf, re-downloading the ftf, but the flashtool still dosen't detect it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It would worth your time if you could check if you've really downloaded the full file. This might due to an incomplete file download. I suggest choosing another source. You can choose 4.3 .205 Generic SG ROM on both MEGA or GDrive of mine.

No problem. If you use the links I have posted, I hope it works out for you. And it is the one that I use now, perfectly recognised by Flashtool
OR!
I hope you haven't deleted your old .ftf! Try renaming it from "..... Generic Singapore (....." to ".... Generic SG".

Help with removing jellybean and restoring ICS 4.0.4 on Xperia T 4.0.4

I received my Xperia T (LT30) in December with (what I believe to be) ICS 4.0.4. The other day (5/31/13), I updated my phone to jellybean. I absolutely hate the new update and want to restore my phone to ICS 4.0.4. I want to remove all traces of jellybean from my phone. How do I go about undoing or replacing the jellybean software with ICS 4.0.4? Do I need to root my phone? I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to restore my phone to its prior firmware. I tried using flashtool and firmware to restore my phone. It failed to remove all aspects of jellybean. Please link me to the appropriate links for what I need to restore my phone. Thank you in advance for any advice or links. It's greatly appreciated.
I can't really help you but I'm curious why you hate jelly bean so much?

It didn't remove jeallybean walkman, album, movies, the home screen ui, themes, icons, essntially the entire ui of jellybean was still functioning. I tried a stock ICS FTF and it didn't seem to work. Is there a more current version of ICS 4.0.4 I 'm unaware of? Ideally, I want to completely restore ICS ui and functionality: walkman, album, themes, home screen, etc.

If you want ICS then flashing a stock ICS ftf will do that. It will change everything you want.
Of course you must do it correctly. Make sure you are including the wipe data check box.
Can I ask which ftf you flashed last time? Please provide the download link.
There are a lot of ICS ftf's in the all in one thread, which is the first thread in this section.

I see what you mean. When I use flashtool, I don't have a prompt to check wipe data/ I am using it on a pc using xp if that matters. I am using the latest version of flashtool as well. I tried downloading two ftf files from this list: I tried 7.0.A.3.195 Bell Canada and 9.1.A.0.489 (Bell). The first ftf file was the only file that would transfer and did not install ICS.

7.0.a.3.195 is an ics firmware so if it flashed correctly you would be on ics
9.1.a.0.489 is JB
There should be a box in the top right of flashtool that says wipe data.
which version of flashtool do you have and were did you download it from.

Thanks for clarifying. I downloaded flashtool from this site and installed the version listed on the front page: androxyde.github.io Does it matter if I use flashtool on xp or vista?

no,
when you drop the ftf into the open window of flashtool you should get a pop up window like the one in the attachment.
In the top right you see a box saying wipe
When you put in a ftf you will get an option in there saying data. Make sure it is checked and you are flashing a ICS ftf. In fact just tick everything in that box and then you will end up with a phone like out of the box
If it doesn't work you are doing something wrong.

I see what you mean. However, when I open flashtool and am prompted to select an ftf, there isn't a prompt to select boxes for wiping data. I placed the ftf file in the firmwares folder. Could I be using an out of date firmware file and this is the issue?

I visited the page with ftf files like you suggested, however, I'm not sure which one is the most recent and what I should choose. Does region matter? I am in America if that matters for selecting a file. Could you possibly link me to an appropriate file? Thanks for helping me with everything and I apologize for being such a noob.

I understand what you are saying. The flashtool I was using wasn't giving me the option to check any box. I downloaded an earlier version (0.8 series) and I was able to check a box. However, I am receiving a message saying, "error preparing files" Does this relate to drivers or the ftf being out of date or something else?
You need to download the latest version of flashtool, that's the one I am using in that image.
Then goto the all in one thread and download the same ftf I have in that image.
It's the first ftf in the .195 series of ftf's files and is found by following the links in post 3 of the all in one thread.
Flash that and tell me what flashtool says, because I just flashed that successfully on my T.

The previous attempts I made to flash, I couldn't select any box. The boxes on the right were grayed out. I was using flashtool v0.9.10.1 found on androxyde.github.io. I'm assuming this is the latest flashtool. When I tried an older version of flashtool (0.8.6), I was able to select boxes to wipe data. I'm downloading the file you mentioned now. Could the fact I was using a different file be the reason I couldn't select a box in the 0.9.10.1 flashtool?

It looks like you had a dodgy download of the original ftf.

[Q] Unable to downgrade to .534 to root phone. Missing IMEI

I really am at a loss now.
There seems to be nothing that i am doing that is making it possible for me to get my phone rooted.
I am running 4.3 .290 on an unbranded c6903 and i have been trying for the last week to downgrade it to .534 so i can root the phone.
I have gone through the forum and have tried the recommended ways. I have downloaded all the correct ftf files. I have flashtool up to date.
I started with downgrading direct to .534 but the IMEI number just read 00000etc. I re-read the forum and saw that i should try and go to .557 before downgrading to .534. Same thing happened. No IMEI number. I then tried a different ftf file to no avail.
Today i saw someone say to use SUS but not to wipe Data. Tried it and the phone got stuck in a bootloop.
I am at a loss. I have never had a phone which was so difficult to root. I have rooted nearly all my android phones before the Z1 and i am confident with doing so.
I really like the phone and i will not be replacing it anytime soon. But has anyone got any ideas that can help me so i can get this phone rooted.

To get your IMEI back you will need to update to .290 (once you get on .290 firmware your IMEI should reappear).Then you can either go through .257 to .534 or you can use a special .534 ftf made by [NUT] where no IMEI loss occurs. You can use my guide to guide you through the process:
Jumping directly to .534 it will lost IMEI. You can't or you use one posted by NUT.

I don't know what you downloaded but I downloaded the file from the first link today, which shem2409 posted, and I have a classic FTF file, 767.8MB. Both links give me FTF extension file so check again what exactly you downloaded. Anyway if the file is correct rename the extension from .sin to .ftf and you are ready to flash.
Nope. I am not getting a classic ftf file. I am downloading the file. I am extracting the zip and it is giving me a breakdown of the files in sin format. No ftf file to be seen anywhere.
I have downloaded ftf files no issue apart from these ones.
I guess i am doing something wrong somewhere but i am now feeling like a noob as i cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell i am doing wrong.
I even tried to create an ftf file bundle using flashtool but to no avail.
Still at a loss. I am using WinRAR extract to by the way.
Do what I told you. Don't do what you think because you will mess up stuff and at the end you will brick you phone trying to flash some kind of file made by you. If you downloaded correctly from the Point 4) from the Video Tutorial and the size is 770MB then you have just to rename the file from .sin to .ftf, do you understand? Then try to make the process again via flashtool and all will be fine.
I would do but i do not have a ''file'' as such.... When i extract the zip. I have a complete breakdown of the file in sin format and it includes boot folder, META-INF folder and 14 different .sin files.
My understanding is that all together these will make a ftf file but i cant get them into that format. They are in one folder and when opened it gives me a complete breakdown of the file in sin format.
I cannot explain it more and i am unable to copy and paste on here what it is i am seeing.
I have never had this problems with any files before and i cannot figure out what i am doing wrong this time

Ok, now I understand, you get files like on the pictures I posted, right?
Then rename the .zip file to .ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC like .txt, .doc, then go to Control Pannel > Folder Options > View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" then Apply and go to rename the Zip file to .ftf and you are ready to flash.

Not really, is for C6903 only and I will not recommend to cross over. BTW, to avoid the IMEI lost in the case to downgrade directly to .534 with other Firmware just exclude "Baseband" and all will be fine.
If you're planning to upgrade anyway you'll get your IMEI back, so just root it and upgrade.

Thanks for the post.
No that did not work for me. Downgrading to .534 excluding "Baseband" too resulted in loss of IMEI. Tried a few times and failed miserably. I feel I will have to downgrade to .257 before getting to .534 as this is the other suggestion to downgrade without loosing IMEI. But the issue I am facing is that the flash tool does not seem to recognize the .257 ftf file that I downloaded. Not sure why. So planning to download the Global .257 release and then try downgrading to .534 so as to get to rooted status.

[Q] Creating FTF from the PCC

Hi. I wanna ask regarding this creating FTF from the PCC for stock rom.
I have download the update 266 with the PCC,
then i use flashtool to decrypt those file that save in DB folder.
But when i choose them after decrypt to make the FTF,
if i include the loader.sin , my flashtool wont able to run or stop at "streaming C:\flashtool\loader sin"
wont move at all.
But if i didnt select the loader.sin, then with others,
it will able to finish and create the FTF (and torrent).
But was this correct without the loader.sin? As the file now is around 800mb.
My flash tool is ver 9.14 not the latest 9.15.
So, am i doing it the correct way?
Did you follow this guide when making your FTF?

Im using the newflasher v43, now my Xperia 1ii is flash from HK version to SEA version
After flash to SEA version, my Xperia 1ii can use the VoLTE on Malaysia telco (Celcom)
1. Just download the firmware using XperiFirm
2. After finish download the firmware, you will get a folder with firmware version (like XQ-AT52_Customized SEA_58.1.A.5.280-R2B)
3. Extract the newflasher_v43, you u set alot file like newflasher.exe, newflasher.arm32 etc, copy all the file to your firmware folder
4. Now make your Xperia 1ii boot to FLASH MODE, back to the firmware folder, run newflasher.exe
5. Reboot mode at the end of flashing, I select poweroff, so i type "p" and ENTER
6. Optional step! Type 'y' and press ENTER if you need GordonGate flash driver, or type 'n' to skip. This I type 'n' to skip
7. Newflasher will start flash your Xperia 1ii
8. While newflasher ask if you want to flash persist img, just type 'n' and it will skip flashing persist
9. Waiting until finish, then power on ur Xperia 1ii and you will flash to SEA version (or other version your download)
I am also interested, at the moment I have not been able to flash the SEA firmware in any way over the HK
Please help us ^^

is it correct to delete only persist.sin file before flash? (as told here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-xq-at51-with-flashtool.4119707/post-84866179)

Is this need delete any file before flash?
Or just only delete the persist_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin file?

I flashed mine from HK to SEA, basically you will need to download SEA fw with XperiFirm and then flash with newflasher.
In the newflasher, it will ask if you want to flash persist img, just type 'n' and it will skip flashing persist. And no, besides persist, there's nothing to worry about.
Anyway, if you are not sure, you can move persist img out of the firmware folder first and newflasher wont ask if you want to skip anymore.
Ps. Dump your TA with newflasher first just in case. (it will ask you to do so.)

yes
only a tip if you will backup TA
extract newflasher in a folder .. backup your TA and then it will close
Now extract newflasher in the "XQ-AT52_Customized SEA_58.1.A.5.280-R2B" folder .. remove the persist_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin file and start flashing, that's all (and use the proper usb cable)

there is no need to delete the file as there will be a warning message you want to flash persist it or not. please select skip or no

If the version SEA is lower than HK the version, it will show an error as stated.
