Sony Xperia X (F5121) Error: Core: manual_download Error: checksum_mismatch

[Xr4ck]

Hello, this is my first topic on a Forum that is Linux related. So, I was trying to flash this fancy OS Ubuntu Touch on my Xperia X and I followed the whole guide, unlocked the smartphone, got the code from Sony ect... All steps to prepare the device have been succesfully done.

Now Im stuck on the next step in the UBPorts Installer:

I get this very chechsum_mismatch error, right after selecting the SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img file from Sony. I am a beginner at these things so, I dont really know what to do know. I used many cables and also any USB ports that are availble on my device but the result is always the same. Why is there a mismatch, if I obviously choose the right file?

Any ideas or helping hand on this?

Hi,

You need to tell the forum what operating system you are working with and if you are using a VM (virtual machine).

The Ubports installer must match the type of your operating system.

It could be that you have a problem with the ELUA (End user license agreement) check.

I have hash checked the file and the check sum matches.

I am using Windows 11 and in the Powershell typed in Get-Filehash {location of your downloaded file}. I then check the SHA256 checksum on the Sony site against the one displayed on the CLI and they both matched.

Hello Mario!

I was using Zorin 16 and also tryed it on Windows 10. I get these errors on both operating systems. I dont use any virtual machine.

@mrt10001

I checked the checksum aswell and they did match. Thats why I dont understand why I get a mismatch error in UBPorts....

[MrT10001]

What version of the installer are you using? I use either 0.8.8 or 0.8.9. on all installs.

@xr4ck
Not the first time i see a topic for hashrate errors on downloaded file in UBports.
One solution is to download the file with a browser, put it in the ubports download folder, and then run the installer like normal.

[Xr4ck]

@mrt10001 I used 0.8.8 but also older versions to check if the issue is version related.

@xr4ck, try the step, in Kenda's suggestion (see the post above).
Good luck!

@keneda Hello Keneda! Thank you for your reply! Where can I find this very download folder? I have been trying to find it but failed...

@xr4ck
As i don't have anymore a working PC at home, i can't tell...

[Pingu]

@xr4ck ...do you have the right path? You need to select the ...loire.img itself not just the path to it. Thats sometimes missunderstanding.

[Xr4ck]

@pingu Hello Pingu! Yes, I have marked the file itself, not just the path and also not the zip file.

[Beppo]

I had the same problem until I found out that the installer wants the complete path to the zip file, not to the extracted .img.
Downloads/SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.zip
This could be clearer in the documentation.
