Revision history [back]

I am getting this error when trying to flash a new out of the box Sony XA2 device. The service info tells me I am allowed to unlock boot loader and the first step of unlocking using the command

sudo ./flash.sh -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x<IMEI_ID>

seems to work. It doesn't give me an error; only returns

The Sony  Vendor partition image was not found in the current directory. Please
download it from
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-oreo-android-8-1-kernel-4-4-nile/
and unzip it into this directory.

But then I want to flash the phone using

bash ./flash.sh

This is the output I get

Detected Mac OS X - Version: 10 14 2-

What am I doing wrong?
