how to flash xperia xa1 with locked bootloader - Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone. I am new and I would like to know if someone can help me with my device xa1 can not be updated as it has operator rom is in August security patch and recently came out another security patch in December only that the flashtool tool does not flash my cell phone the model is g3123. Excuse me for my bad English : o

Watch this video:

Thanks for your tutorial, but in my case it ended with the message "root access denied" Is it necessary to have a rooted device to flash? I thought that this process could be executed without root.

How do I upgrade ("flash"??) from 5.0

My M5 E5653 still has Android 5.0. Software update, nor Xperia companion show new updates available. Does not seem like my carrier, Vodafone Australia, will be updating it anytime soon or at all.
I am not familiar with flashing, rooting, or what a bootloader is. To make it simple, Is there a way I can upgrade from Android 5.0 to whichever is the latest available for the M5?
Of course, if there is, I understand as someone who's not familiar with this, that is it at my own risk following instructions on how to do so
if xperia companions (restore firmware) not upgrade to 5.1
then see howto flash with flashtool
Thanks. Where can find that?? Not quite sure which other thread explains that for my situation
hi, sorry bad english, i just upgraded my phone, just download latest flasthool and firmware whith xperyafirm, create bundle but say yes when it ask use FSC script, and just install normaly
Your English was fine. Thank you for that help
EDIT
Flashed and working. Thanks for the help!!

I loaded combination file and it's booting but what to do now ? Cant find FRP bypass file for A320FL. Can you help me ?
Oryginal firmware was adroid 7.0 A320FLXXU1BQH7 all what i found was A320FLXXU1AQA3 i fleshed its working just can't unlock it. Any tips what to do now ?
I didn't have combination file for this version but i downgrade to androi 6.0.1 and i made some trick with keyboard asist can find at youtube.
But after this can't update phone shows phone up to date (android 6) samsung kiess sa,e. So i used odin to flash 7.0 and wiped cache partition + factory reset and still doesn't show updates, why ? Maybe wrong firmware region ?
I would recommend to use z3x support to bypass your lock code. This activation works with almost all phone models. You can read more about it at https://gsmserver.com/gsm/credits-and-activations/. I am sure that it would be helpful for you.

Oreo Update XA1 - help please

Hi,
I have a Sony Xperia XA1 with android with android 7.0 and security patch 5 january 2018. Going to Software updates it's says it's up to date but if i go to Sony Support webpage and enter my IMEI it's displaying a message that oreo android 8 is ready for my device. That kind a contradicts what my mobile shows.
My question is how can I get Oreo ? Is there somethign hidden ? Is sony trolling me ?)
Can somebody please throw some light and help me out? I have read somewhere that HK market phones do not get oreo(dunno why) but i don't know if mine is HK market or not. Phone details below:
Model Sony Xperia XA 1
Customize Version : 1307-5194_R8A
Android : 7.0
Not rooted.
Thanks,
Victor

Hey Victor.
Sometimes they take time to roll out. If the IMEI says, you are eligible for Oreo , then you will get oreo soon.
You have customized UK firmware and not HK one.
You can use XperiFirm Tool to check if rollout has become for your device.

According to xperifirm ,the latest available ROM is nougat so you will have to be patient.

Hello Victor
If you want Oreo now then you must software repair through Xperia Companion and if you do software repair then do backup your data in internal storage to sd card and use Xperia Companion for the rest of the backup.

Phone does not receive updates (Global Version)

Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"
Do you know how I can update my phone? I tried expressvpn but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help guys, I hope that anyone of you have the solution. I bought this phone for my father too, it's his first smartphone and I wouldn't want to feel guilty about making a wrong purchase.

Hello DominikMorelli,
Good Day !
1st You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Latest Stock From MIUI Forum And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
Greetings !
Thanks,

AFAIK unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty on AndroidOne devices, of course after you relock the bootloader. Because there is no way of knowing that it has been unlocked/flashed etc.

Yes You Are Absolutely Right. Bootloader Should Be Locked After Flashing The ROM Or In Flashing Time.
thank you guys
One last question, with this operation I will lose the data on the phone? if so I make a backup.

Yes DominikMorelli, You Will Lose The Data As Unlocking Bootloader Does Erase The Data.

Is posible to Downgrade Moto G6 play Jeter?

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to downgrade the moto g6 play xt1922-7 boost mobile, I'm on the security patch February 1, 2019. I had to move from the USA and I need to unlock it, but it seems to be a problem with this security path. I took a look at this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/how-to/guide-t3929928) but I don't know if this might work to downgrade to another security patch.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all, guys.

That's my guide. It's for unlocking the bootloader which is not the same as sim card unlock, it's also for disabling forced encryption and rooting and In case you messed up reflashing stock firmware. While it is possible to downgrade, downgrading will not help unlock your sim card for your phone. Boost Mobile allows sim card unlock after the device has been in service with boost Mobile for a year.
