Cannot flash my Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP512) under Linux #189

Hi, I tried to flash my old Xperia Z2 Tablet back to 23.5.A.1.291 under Linux (had CarbonOS before, tried to go to Lineage 18), but only get the message

ERROR - The bundle does not match the connected device

The complete log is attached. The bootloader is unlocked (obviously). Since I am really, really sure this is an SGP512 (it even says so on th log.txt e side), can I somehow skip this safety check?

Thanks for any help!

Hi, same here with SGP521. You can try to use this tool: https://github.com/munjeni/xflasher Hmm confusing, after flashing with xflasher tool I got a loop while trying to push the buttons in welcome screen. So I tried to flash with Flashtool again and it's working now.

Thanks @murkl, I tried the xflasher, but it didn't change anything for me - first, it rejected the loader.sin because my device apparently found it invalid, but succeeded in flashing the loader from the SGP512 firmware I downloaded. Didn't seem to change much, though. BUT - you made me try harder to get it done with Flashtool!

The breakthrough was when I cloned flashtool, changed getDevInfo() in Flashtool/src/main/java/org/flashtool/flashsystem/S1Flasher.java to always return "SGP512" and got it compiled (this was the most complicated step, I'm really strange to the Java ecosystem). Then, I could just flash it with flashtool. Lineage 18 is now running, yay :-)
