Not sure if this is a bug or user error

I am trying to flash an Xperia 1 802SO with Newflasher v35 and it seems to be giving an error:

`newflasher.exe v35 by Munjeni @ 2017/2020 Determining available free space by GetDiskFreeSpaceEx:

The device reboots normally if I reboot manually as Newflasher does not send the power off or reboot to android commands as I am guessing this is related to the service menu. It seems like it flashes fine although if I check the service menu or Phone information in the testing menu the files do not seem to flash and VoLTE is not enabled. Not sure if Newflasher supports the 802SO but it is in flash mode since the LED is dimly lit green when holding volume down then connecting power.

Hi, I don't know. How you sure oem and oem_other is for enabling volte? I see it is sucesfully flash, except sync fail, but I think sync wait time of the 30 seccond is enought for syncing data on phone, those small oem and oem_other partitions and sync of the 30 seccond wait time is enought, no need to be increased. I'm believing your 802SO have something protected e.g. not allowing you flash something. Did you tried one time only to flash or you tried many times to flash the same? If it giving the same sync error than it looks like it can't be flashed. Did you tried to flash whole firmware for example to change bootloader first? Maybe your bootloader not allow something to be flashed, I don't know just guessing.

I found this so far that explains what to flash with newflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-1/help/questions-volte-firmwares-t4068095 and this as well https://old.reddit.com/r/freedommobile/comments/7crhbt/guide_xpost_rsonyxperia_modifying_xz1_compact/ although I am not sure if the Xperia 1 802SO has a different way of flashing since it is a Japan model. Is there a way to check if something is protecting it from flashing as I have developer options and adb debugging enabled but I have not enabled OEM bootloader unlock. I have tried 2 times on different Windows 10 PCs and with a different USB 3.0 port on both devices. Would maybe flashing the entire firmware allow it to work?

Thanks! On Sat, Aug 22, 2020 at 2:40 PM munjeni notifications@github.com wrote:

I can't tell you that since I don't own those phone, test it and let me know. The recommend way for clean flashing is to flash every single file including bootdelivery, partition, all ta files, all sin files except persist.sin, only file to delete is is persist.sin. Mixing files from diferent firmwares is not a good idea.

Since no fully confirmation I will close this issue, if you need you can reopen it.
