[TOOL/Z] [UPDATE 06/04/2013] Flashtool version 0.9.11.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac

Here is the final version of Flashtool, compatible with Z/ZL
To clarify about bootloader unlock/relock :
Q : Can Flashtool unlock bootloader for a first time unlock ?
A : Yes, it does it using official sony method (get key, then issue the right fastboot command)
Q : Can Flashtool relock bootloader ?
A : Yes
Q : Can Flashtool unlock bootloader after a relock ?
A : Yes.
With this release, before unlocking first time, root your device and you will be able to backup your TA partition (Raw ta backup). By doing this, you will be able to relock / restore your TA partition and have back BE2 and all DRM keys.
Happy flashing
Flashtool can be downloaded from this page
For those having issues downloading, you can try this link : unrestrict.li Flashtool homepage

Very Good。

the complete version of FT should take some time as Androxyde is rebuilding/redesigning the entire interface, but till then this will have to do...

When flashing, you cannot exclude/include sin files. This release cannot create bundles too.

I have a few questions.
1. When creating a firmware normal Flashtool v0.9.10.1 does not know how to define multiple files.

Is there a risk? Or beta Flashtool, when flashing the firmware of received, all the files correctly identify and sew the right sections?
I looked at the French firmware - it has the same structure as the creation of me, so I'm pretty sure of the correctness of their actions, but would like to know your opinion.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

You should not use TA option yet. With old flashtool loader sending is not correct for Xperia Z and new version is not TA option implemented.
Better wait a little!

Also with photos through Album? Can you show screenshots of it when be2 is on and off?

if it was that simple I think that dev would have already did it, plus Sony secure its stuff harder than that.

You can check in service menu under service tests if DRM Keys are intact.

Probably you need to gain root.
This tool seem to be working over adb. If yes then there are no other way... Need root, then backup TA.

For me this worked fine (but used last beta 9.0b5).
on my C5303 with firmware C5302_12.0.A.1.284 rooted with Doomlords perf. event exploit.
Also dry run for restore was successful.
Did not try full restore because i leave my one unlocked anyway and don't really care about the BE2 engine.
Probably i try the restore when the official 12.0.A.1.284 for the C5303 is released.
Did you root your XSP?

hi i use ver 8.6 and i have no problem
your phone must be rooted and enable usb debbuging & unknown sources

yes i rooted fw 284
when it run my folder has 2 folder tmpbak and backup
folder tmpbak
and folder backup clear

I think more info on your phone status is required that someone here can really help you.
How did you root (exploit or kernel).
Bootloader: locked or unlocked (if already unlocked the TA backup makes no sense anyway (DRM keys are lost forever))
Kernel: stock or dooms/cm
Also you could ask in the BackupTA thread directly.

1.i use stock kernel stock rom locked bootload just only rooted BE2 work fine
2.im a new mem i cant post in that thread :crying:
when it said "find ta partition" i allowed adb
is backup taking a long times??

Ok there were some posts mentioning that in the final version 9.0 of backup TA the behaviour you described appeared.
Seems like a bug in BackupTA with the new version 9.0 because the betas of 9.0 until b5 did work.
Try the 9.0 beta 5 or version 8.9.

i used backup TA verr 9.1 and i backup done thks every one!!!!

Thanks
Thanks for posting the link.
Once you have the ROM flashed there is 1 free Hidden Space app (Calculator) and 2 paid apps $0.99 each for Web Login and Clock ... these allow you to secretly access the hidden space. But you don't need the apps to create a personal space or a downloaded (Tor space, WeChat , on the website)

Hi
I would like to try this rom, but I would like to know if I can easily step back..
I'm currently using marshmallow, is correct to make a nandroid backup, then flash and test this 5.1.1 rom and, in case, flash my backup to restore MM?
Will this rom work with MM bootloader and radio or will it affect my daily use?

Hi Marcuzio81
Yes the ROM will work with your current radio and bootloader, just back up your current image , flash our ROM , Try it out, and restore to your original image. I also recommend you try a Hidden Space App which you can get from the play store.
Here is the link to the currently free Calculator app.

Can you provide details about the device, I assume its a Google Nexus 5 not the 5X, since the ROM only supports the older model. Can you also provide the version of the bootloader and radio.
Thanks

I confirm it's the fabulous, ever green nexus 5
My bootloader is hhz12k, I'm not able so far to check the radio but I suppose it's the latest one coming with MM AS I've flashed the google factory image...

You could flash back to factory 5.1.1 "hammerhead" and try flashing our ROM from there. I will see if I can reproduce your issue from MM.

Full UPDATE

Hello,
Shouldnt a FULL UPDATE install "all" necessary like partitions for the system etc, i mean everything?
Why am i asking this?
Because recently i debranded my P9+ and now i have 3 problems:
1. Icons look like Huawei P8 series
(@Emui 3.x)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Some features are not function as before, like - Themes (can download but can't apply)
3. Factory reset now always goes as "lowlevel reset"
As my understanding this might be because when failed on debranding phone woke up asking decryption storage password (and shouldn't) then he did a wired wipe out before restart again and then started with the problems i said on top
I also know it affected system folders in any way because, for example, at locked screen when I press settings there are none "subscriptions" to choose.

Just i said i had the same problem when i debrand my L29C636 and that fix it for me.

flash all zip file with twrp , then reboot and force flash update.app with 3 button method, now everything is stock

I had the same problems when I flashed a 'full' ROM as well (B190, for reference). Had the same ugly icons you mentioned, and I had lost MagazineUnlock plus all stock themes.
In the end I found the themes, and it seems to have fixed both the icons and unlock.
Main issue now, is that each time it does a factory reset (when unlocking boatloader for instance), it fails and prompts me to run it again, which it then completes successfully. Not sure what I messed up on there, but it's just a minor annoyance whenever I have to flash an update now.
