Flash tool for Xperia™ devices.
How to use the flash tool.
When you have installed the flash tool for Xperia™, you can flash standard Sony software on your unlocked Xperia™ device. Note! When you flash software onto your device, your user data and content will be erased. Make sure to properly back up all information.
This is how you flash software on your phone:
1. Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
2. Connect a USB cable to your computer.
3. Phone: Turn off your phone.
4. Connect your phone to the USB cable while holding the flash key (for example Volume down). The flash key varies between models. For a complete key mapping, see the supported phones.
Supported devices & flash keys.
In the beta version of the flash tool for Xperia™ devices, only a limited number of device models and software versions are supported. In most cases, there are several variants of a model, and normally we only support the international variant. Check the model number in the list below to make sure your variant is supported.
Please note that when you connect your phone to the computer to flash the phone, it must be turned off and you must hold the flash key listed below. Flash keys vary between models.
