How to flash firmware from XperiFirm? Can Newflasher save user data? My phone is stuck in a bootloop and I would like to try to fix it by flashing stock firmware. I used XperiFirm to download firmware. But then in Flashtool it won't load. I tried going to tools -&gt; bundles -&gt; fileset decrypt but it just doesn't load it.
I'm running Windows and noticed a part of Flashtool was detected as a trojan. I made an exception and reinstalled so this shouldn't be a problem.
I tried clicking on the XperiFirm button directly inside Flashtool, but it really quickly flashes and goes away without doing anything (nothing is even added to the log).
I looked into using Newflasher but am wondering if there's a way to save data? I would like to do a dirty flash.
I couldn't get the XperiFirm integrated into Flashtool to work. Even with the stand alone, it didn't have the firmware I was looking for. I ended up just Google searching the the firmware with &quot;ftf&quot;. Flashing it with Flashtools worked fine.
TL;DR download the desired firmware as an FTF found through a Google Search. Flash it with Flashtool.
