here ... a man with even hands ... health! see the question ... I sew everything and everyone by any means, up to collecting the stitch through kuperesets ... but when it comes to applied art ... my maximum is to change the touch, or close the test point, for example, if the brick is completely ... so here ... I had it ... well, kau would be a fake 400 that I just didn’t freak with him ... a testpoint was found by typing ... thirty times completely from scratch poured preloaders bootloaders and others like that ... erased as a result, 2 small condensers (well, not a condenser ... breakers are nav-e), but I'm only in this from school physics that I remember ... and so one erased around the core ... a kualcom ... the second in place of a number of functional testpoint points .... the funny thing is that once again I managed to lift a completely rotten device ... I started to see the percentage ... and it seemed to raise it ... well, I decided to put a beep ... and a mustache ... the testpoint didn't work anymore ... so here ... I wanted to ask .... if a brick rose without these conductors, then you can squeeze it from a distance ... or was it just agonizing?

Hello! I would like to roll back my SONY S to the very first firmware (which is installed from the factory) or which was in the first update. I want it this way because I don't like the firmware made for SONY Z.

Many users sometimes face the issue of flashing their Sony Xperia smartphone or tablet and experience difficulties, since they do not know how this process is done. I want to say right away that it is best to use standard programs that you can find on our website in the section. With their help, you can automatically and without any problems update the kernel and firmware version to the most current and current one at the moment.

However, there are times when the installation still needs to be done manually. In this guide, we have outlined all the steps step by step in order to make it easier for you to understand how to flash a Sony Xperia. This manual is suitable for 2013 models and you will need the Flashtool program, which can be downloaded from the link below. Before proceeding with any actions, remember that the author of the article is not responsible for the end result and everything that you do at your own peril and risk. Also, make sure that the smartphone is at least 50% charged, the Flashtool package and firmware drivers are already installed on your computer, and antivirus programs and firewalls are disabled on your PC for added confidence.

1. And so, let's get started. First, download the official firmware, the package of which will be in .ftf format. Download firmware only from trusted sources and only for the version of your phone.

2. If the firmware is loaded with a simple archive, then unzip it and find there a file with the extension .ftf.

3. This file must be placed in the / flashtool / firmwares folder.

4. Run FlashTool.exe.

5. Turn off the smartphone and wait for about 30-60 seconds.

6. In the program, press the button that shows the lightning. Next, select "Flashmode" and double-click on the desired firmware, or simply drag it into the window from the utility.

7. The program will independently prepare the firmware for its installation on the smartphone, about which you will be notified by the appearance of a window asking you to connect the device.

8. Press the volume down key (aka Volume -) and connect the USB cable (which should already be connected to the PC) to your smartphone. There is a possibility that at the first connection in the “Flashmode” mode, a window will appear asking you to install the driver for the device to work in this very mode.
