"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and won't boot." after reflashing

Get Started
#1

Flashed version 4.1.0.24 on an Xperia XA2. I tried to Reflash, and the flashing process itself didin’t promtp any error in the console.

#2

Did you open the boot loader? (or better checked in running android that it is really opened)

#3

Yes, I attempted to reflash my device after Sailfish was broken.

#4

Check once more with adb commands,.
e.g. How To Check If Bootloader Is Unlocked

#5

You haven’t mentioned whether using Linux or Windows, but may need to use Sony’s Emma to restore bootloader unlocked device to Android and start again.

I only have Linux or if really necessary Mac available, so I’m currently trying FlashTool, though its setup process really sucks.

#7

I confirm that doing a complete flash with Emma solved this issue on my side. Then you’ll be able to flash Sailfish again.

I had the “won’t boot” problem, and for lack of a windows PC, the xperifirm and newflasher tools (see xda-developers forum) were lifesavers. Check the forum posts there if you have troubles with the tools, there’s lots of good info.

I have Xperifirm. Is newflasher diffrent from Flashtool?

#10

Resume: I used Flashtool - Xperia device flashing (FOSS) and XperiFirm (not sure) to flash Android on my Phone. I case anyone reads this: To not need to run Flashtool as root, add this udev rule I wrote:

#/etc/udev/rules.d/80-sony.rules
ACTION=="add", ENV{SUBSYSTEM}=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0666", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger [udev] Sony device detected, changing access rights to allow all users."

Then run udevadm control --reload && udevadm trigger.

Now you can start with Flashtool.
