Can't flash a second hand xperia 10 iii

[lance6716]

I just bought a second hand xperia 10 iii, I guess it's SO-52B with firmware XQ-BT52. It can't get latest OS update so I want to flash it to SO-52B firmware. Now I have downloaded firmware from Xperifirm, and newflasher meets this error

What's the error here? 😵 Thanks

strange that I can flash XQ-BT52 firmware. Maybe the previous owner changed the cover of the phone 🤔 but Xperia companion says this is a SO-52B 🤔

HI, your device is XQ-BT52 and not XQ-BT52B, so you need XQ-BT52 firmware! Error you getting is related to the signature of the rom which not match your device since its not designed for your device model.

I didn't mention "XQ-BT52B", do you mean SO-52B?

Thanks now I know it's related to device model. But my phone does have a DOCOMO SO-52B back cover, maybe the previous owner changed it to have a better color 😂

[munjeni]

Probably yes. See your log:

Product: XQ-BT52

Its definitelly XQ-BT52
