Flash Xperia Compact XZ1 G8441 model

[Andrew_404]

Hi everyone. I was considering flashing my Compact XZ1 with the customized UK software. Unfortunately, flash tool doesn't give you a choice on the G8441 model even though I have the latest flash tool version.

Is this because the phone is still relatively new?

You can't use flashtool, you have to use newflasher.

OK I looked into it. Couldn't find anything different than what I have already loaded on my P. C. Thx anyway

Check the xz1 compact forum on XDA. There's a thread over there about flashing with newflasher. Flashtool doesn't work with newer Xperias, only Newflasher.
