Little Flashtool tutorial

This is an ancient tutorial. Stop frying me with PM's about it.

Outdated

Thanks for this helpful guide!
Kudos!

I can get into flashboot mode but can't get into fastboot mode. I do it many times but it only charges my phone

I was never sure about using the fastboot toolbox until i read thru this. I would usually use the cmd window. I'll be flashing another of doom's test kernels later so i'll try it then. Thanks for going thru it
Sent from my R800i

I tried flashing my Xperia R800x back to stock with flashtool. The drivers installed fine but where I connect the phone flashtool says "ERROR FLASHING: Aborted"

thanks mate...help me alot

Thanks, great tutorial! Much appreciated.

And now that we've covered flashing ROMs, we'll give our attention to the Fastboot Toolbox. Fastboot is a tool which can only be used normally through the command-line interface. This toolbox is basically a (quite raw) graphical shortcut to the relevant commands for our purposes.
We can activate it if we run Flashtool, click on the Flash icon, and select the Fastboot Mode.

I'll comment the buttons' functions and the equivalent fastboot command if it exists . That is for the benefit of the people who use Fastboot in non-Windows desktops.
Check current device status: this checks the status of your device, to see if it's on, off, in Flash mode or Fastboot mode.
Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB) (adb reboot bootloader): with your device switched on, it will try to reboot directly into Fastboot mode. I'm not sure if it works...
Reboot into fastboot mode (via Fastboot) (fastboot reboot-bootloader): with your device on Fastboot mode, it will reboot in Fastboot mode again. It's mostly useful for testing purposes, but the common user won't need that too much.
Select kernel to HotBoot (fastboot boot X.img): this command will prompt you to select a certain kernel in order to boot it (NOT install it). This is helpful mostly again for testing purposes, but there are cases when it might come handy.
Select kernel to Flash (fastboot flash boot X.img): This is the command you'll be using most likely. You'll be prompted to choose a kernel, exactly like before, but in this case the kernel you choose will be INSTALLED. Unless you're a tester, make sure to flash kernels which are safe to install.
Here comes an example of flashing a kernel (DoomKernel v08):
Get Ver Info (fastboot getvar version): this is a pretty pointless command by itself as it will give you the Fastboot version installed, but the "fastboot getvar" command is pretty powerful, giving you information about a lot of the internals of the phone. Of course, those informations make sense to developers, while common users can largely ignore them.
Get Device info (fastboot devices): this command will output the Fastboot ID of your phone.
Reboot device into system (fastboot reboot): this command will reboot your phone.
With all these bases covered, you can happily operate with your Xperia Play. Have fun!

If you are referring to the last post on page 1 dated Sept. 23rd of this year, you could have said something nicer then that.
priteshc:
Easiest method is to got to Wotan Server and download their Xperia PLAY Drivers:
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/page/download
Download the X-Unlock Client and install first, it will install the fastboot and S1 drivers. Then install the Xperia PLAY Flash Driver file and install. After that you should be golden to flash away.
Good luck.

True, not trying to argue or anything. And I am too a bit curious to see a thread revived after all this time. I would venture that said member did a search online and it pulled this thread up so he left a reply.
Anyways, lets consider this thread done as the information while helpful is dated. Still though despite its age thank you for posting this tutorial out 2+ years ago. I know it helped me 2+ years ago when i got my first PLAY (R800x), now R800at.

Thanks!!
Thank you with all my heart, for unraveling this blessing unto me and guiding me! :good:
I might just add that for unbricking/flashing, as these links are old, i founded out new ones:
flashtool: mediafire.com/u8i5kui5b8lg/5cz5nda84565ahb/flashtool-0.5.3.0-windows.exe
tft file for xperia play: htaaatp://download2141.mediafire.com/jbnc50uejxsg/pbh253qd2dv355b/R800i_4.0.1.A.0.283_%281247-6212%29.zip (remove "a")

You sir, are a ****ing disgrace!
I jsut followed your guide from this link
Then you forward me to this page, to download Android..
The funny thing is, the first guide is for Linux, but you end up, on a download site, where you need to install a ****ing iLivid.. And that's for Windows only.

Why-and-how-to use Flashtool
Flashtool is your warranty, basically. Whereas PC Companion and SEUS are fairly limited about the kinds of reparations they can do ("no can do" with modified firmwares of any kind), Flashtool is your unbricking tool of choice. And if you have unlocked your bootloaders, it's the only 100% safe way to upgrade to new builds, as OTA and PC Companion updates can bring trouble.
In order to use Flashtool, we need FTF files with entire builds to flash. No problem: here they are, all of them. Once we have downloaded the one we want, we must put it in the "firmwares" folder of Flashtool so that it can be flashed.
Now we can fire up Flashtool, click on the left icon (the lightning bolt):
Choose Flash mode:
Select the firmware we wish (note that you have a couple of options for newer builds such as keeping your user data, but you better know what you're doing or you'll probably screw up the firmware):
Wait until the files are prepared...
And connect our device in Flash mode as specified before.
Once AND ONLY ONCE the process is finished, we can disconnect the USB cable and restart our phones.

Here is suggestion using proper English:
CONGRATULATIONS! Your phone is now in automatic flashing mode.
The process will take about 10 minutes. Pay attention to your phone screen. Your phone will boot to the new system after automatic flashing is completed.

Hey, I appreciate the app it seems very handy.
Just a quick question. I have previously unlocked the bootloader on my phone but didn't do any further steps.
Can I just use the tool to flash a custom ROM at this point? Or should I Root using the tool or an alternative method first?
Thanks!

Amazing work! EVERY ONE OF US NEEDS TO LEARN command line, but it's always excellent to see amazing devs make an all in one like this for the guys that refuse to learn the hard (right) way, and for vets that aren't quite smart enough to make a tool like this themselves, like me, but appreciate the **** out of this little gem making my first custom Oreo ROM from stock rooted a breeze! Perhaps a little bold, but im still calling it, OG PIXEL XL NOT DEAD just when I was losing faith! Bravo!

Just peeped them briefly,. Mad props!

Damn dude, this is amazing. Will definitely give it a shot in the next few days!
Question about the install/uninstall apks feature: how does this work? Is it batch or one at a time?
EDIT: Also, to flash TWRP, do I need to be in bootloader mode and do I need to disable security on my phone before flashing? Will I lose root when flashing it? I'm using the latest Magisk.

You can't retain root after flashing a factory image. You can root the oreo factory image after you have flashed it

I take it this is for windows only?

You can't directly flash a custom rom with this tool, you need a TWRP already flashed on your phone and you can use "Recovery Zip Flasher" ( I do not recommend it ), i think is better to put the rom on your phone and flash it from your phone.
This tool can't root directly your phone, but gives all you need to root it (Bootloader Unlock and the flash of a TWRP).
Pixel book? This tool is only available for Windows, maybe you can use it on pixelbook with a virtual machine, but i don't know how pixel book works

With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works

Prerequisites:
Updated to Nougat
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP installed
Basic understanding on how to use TWRP
If you don't know how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP see post #2
I am using my device the [FRD-L04] as an example in this guide.
Step 1 Get Firmware
Create a folder on you computer and name it "oreo-update".
Go to the Firmware Finder website and find the Oreo update for your device.
Left click on the "filelist" and it will display three download links. One for "update.zip", One for "update_data_full_public.zip" and One for update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip.
Copy and paste each download link for your device into your browser's address bar and download them to your "oreo-update" folder.
You may see more than three files. The last one will have your model number in it.
Now go to your "oreo-update" folder.
Rename "update_data_full_public.zip" to "update_data_public.zip"
Rename "update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip" to "update_all_hw.zip"
Step 2 Get HuRUpdater
HuRUpdater is a great program that flashes unapproved and approved updates in TWRP.
Go to the HuRUpdater post and download the latest version to your "oreo-update" folder. Be sure to hit the thanks button while your there.
Step 3 Install Oreo
Copy "oreo-update" folder to your SD Card.
Boot to TWRP
I recommend doing a full backup and a wipe before flashing.
Choose install from the TWRP menu and select your SD Card
Navigate to your "oreo-update" folder and flash "HuRUpdater" it will prompt you to hit the volume down button to start the process.
HuRUpdater will flash the update for you. I ended up with three errors which didn't seem to matter.
Reboot and enjoy
Optional Flash TWRP
It may be possible this process relocked your bootloader. So you may need to unlock your bootloader again.
Download the latest version of TWRP from this post. This TWRP wasn't designed for our device but is the closest to a fully working TWRP I could find. DO NOT post any problems or bugs in that post!
TWRP 3.2.1-0
The fastboot commands have changed. The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img"
If you like this guide please consider hitting the thanks button.

The only things I have found is it can't decrypt the Data partition and it tries to mount a partition that isn't on the Honor 8. It will wipe the Data partition though. I'm sure it is only a matter of time until someone builds one for our device.

I seem to be having trouble making it past the registration. I get "system is busy". If I remember correctly you have to register first. Then you can request your unlock code. You might want to try the alternative methods listed.

I can't say for sure, but I would think so as long as you have the stock recovery installed. I know that when I flashed back to Nougat this way I was able to get OTA's.

I know it is old news, but I don't think the age of the article matters as much as the fact is that Huawei will no longer be giving out unlock codes. Just about every article you read is from that time period because that is when Huawei made the announcement. I admit I might have missed the bus on this one.

I seem to be having trouble making it past the registration. I get "system is busy". If I remember correctly you have to register first. Then you can request your unlock code. You might want to try the alternative methods listed.

I don't know either where I should look for the unlock code. I get to this page after I log into my Huawei ID.

[N00b][PRA-LX1] I'm confused and need help for custom ROMs installation.

Hello everyone. I've searched the form without any results tho.
I have a Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) and I wanted to flash it up with a LineageOS unofficial ROM.
Now, I have a bit of experience in flashing phones back in the days (I flashed a SII, a SIII, a J1, Galaxy Core) and it was SO SIMPLE.
I'm confused right now, i was going to flash TWRP on my phone when i saw this unlock bootloader thing and i mean, how do I do that?
Apparently I have to pay 4€ for this DC unlocker (although, i checked their website and I don't know what to select to get this bootloader code, help me please), but i don't understand what should I do with that code once i get it.
After doing "something" i'll be able to flash TWRP on my phone and go ahead with the simple flashing Roms+gapps like always...
The point is:
- What is the use of that code? Where should i put it?
- Is is safe to install an unofficial version of TWRP (i haven't find any at all for my model tbh, unofficial neither, help me please)
sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance if you'll help me ^_^ Have a nice day!

Huawei stopped sending bootloader unlock codes which are necessary to have an unlocked bootloader. DC Unlocker can give you this code for credits. (Search for it in Google i think there are tutorials for this)
Once you got the BL unlock code, you need to reboot to fastboot then in cmd you need to type: fastboot oem unlock bl unlock code. This will wipe your data so do a backup. About TWRP, if i were you, i would use the latest whatever official/unofficial recovery which can be flashed in fastboot by command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (if i'm not mistaken)
Good luck! :good:

Thanks for your reply! Please see the image below for what i'm going to say next.
I was going to buy some credits to unlock the bootloader, as i've read in another thread, it only requires 4€ (4 credits). Although, I don't kno which one of these two options is the correct one... Can anyone help me with that?

I don't know which one to use, as i didn't use that method.
EDIT: Just get 4 credits, if i'm not mistaken there's only one option to get the bl unlock code in the app and that's 4 credits.
I could only find one TWRP for this device: LINK

I just realized it doesn't matter, i just have to pay 4 credits and all the possible options will unlock once i pay ^^
So after i read the bootloader code, how should i use it?
