Just downloaded the SF zip file and getting ready to update my F5121, which was previously bootloader unlocked (code from Sony). Currently, the phone is running Android 6.0.1 (marshmallow). My questions are:
1. Do I need to upgrade to Android 34.3.A.0.228 first, as per SF upgrade guide, or I can just flash SF image, using fastboot command (under Win 7) over the AOS 6.0.1?
2. If Android needs to be upgraded to 34.3.X.Y.Z first, can I use an Androxyde tool, instead of EMMA tool, as I already used the first one to flash MM 6.0.1?
3. Is it a good idea to create a recovery partition (TWRP) on the phone, prior to flashing anything? Will it persist over 34.3.X.Y.Z/SFOS flashing?
Many thanks for your help.
I can't answer all your questions, but I was at the MM 6.0.1 stage and tried Flashtool to 34.3.A.0.228, but just before flashing it said something was missing, RESET-NON-SECURE-ADB data not in script, do you want to continue Y/N. So I stopped there. I have now unlocked bootloader and using Emma to update to 34.3.A.0.228, though it only offered me Nordic version, but I assume this doesn't matter, I hope.
