Xperia 10 V support?

Hardware Adaptation
109

I had to downgrade my Xperia 10 V from android 14 to 13 but wasn’t able to do it with Emma, I had to use newflasher, but I have XQ-DC72 and Emma don’t support it.
First I had to download firmware with Xperifirm:
Xperifirm
Then use Newflasher to flash the phone:
Newflasher

All work under Linux (Debian) but seems to work under Windows too.

To do the flash did like that if remember well:

  1. Download with Xperifirm under linux have to use mono:
$ mono XperiFirm-x64.exe

Just have to choose your phone here Xperia 10 V and XQ-DC54 or 72 must match phone type,
eg. for XQ-DC54 have EU/UK, Orange FR/ES/PL/SK/RO, EE UK, O2 UK
if select EU/UK can download 68.1.A.2.204 (Android 14) or 68.0.A.0.829 (Android 13)
Xperifirm download and unpack the firmware in a way directly usable with Newflasher.

  1. Copy Newflasher “executable binary” into the folder created by Xperifirm

  2. With phone in flash mode (if remember well not the blue but green “LED” that isn’t LED for V)
    On your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your device or anything else!

$ sudo fastboot oem unlock 0x...
$ fastboot --set-active=a
$ ./newflasher

I don’t remember well but first need to be in fastboot mode “blue” LED for unlock and set-active=a
then in flash mode “green” LED for newflasher.
