Hey there,
I've just bought an Xperia T, Orange PL branded and I wanted to update it to 4.1.2, since it's running 4.0.4 at the moment. Unfortunately, PC Companion nor the phone itself says my phone is up to date
Does anyone know how to fix it? I've heard 4.1.2 is officialy out in here, so...
Flash a 4.1.2 ftf file found in the all in one thread (first sticky thread in the q and a section)
Use flashtool to flash it.
Sent from my star trek communicator
Sony Flagship device circa 2145
Try the Sony Update Service.
Hey there, thanks for your replies.
I've tried SEUS with not luck.
About the .ftf file, I found 2 FTFs with 4.1.2 in their names, but one is russian and one is for TX. It's probably something with firmware, but I'd rather ask, than flash something that may brick my phone. Would you be so kind and show me the right FTF, pretty please?

ok, no problem.
goto settings/aboutphone
Scroll down and tell me what the bottom 5 things say
also, what region are you in now?
If you can goto system/build.prop
and tell me wht the 8 digit customisation number is. It will look something like this
ro.customisation.number=****-****
The 8 numbers that are the *'s will help
Thank you very much for your help

If you are on xperia T you can try this one by me
Xperia T 9.1.A.0.489
LT30p_9.1.A.0.489_Vodafone.ftf - 592.28 MB
Its branded but you can remove the bloatware if you root.
Just exclude baseband when you flash it in flashtool
i can provide you Central Europe 489 firmware or Central Europe+bond stuff if you want...
Thanks Greg, the one you linked works great

Hi
I was hoping someone could help. This is driving me absolutely crazy.
I am currently running Cyanogenmod so Sony Mobile Update Server and Sony Mobile Companion completely refuse to play ball what so ever. They do not even attempt to connect out to their servers.
I really want one of the following FTF files:
Code:
O2 Pay monthly UK 1270-4993 10.3.1.A.0.244 R9B 10.3.A.0.423 R8B
United Kingdom Vodafone UK 1270-9110 10.3.1.A.0.244 R7B 10.3.A.0.423 R7B
This is just so I can update the baseband and NFC firmware
Tried googling for 2 hours and found nothing except German and Dutch FTFs.
Any help would be really appreciated....
Thanks
Just use any of the generic unbranded 244 FTF files posted in this section. All of the firmware versions have the same system files, baseband etc. no matter which region they are from.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
If no one has a link to either of these I will flash my phone to stock, re-load bootloader and then run the upgrade, capture the FTF, re-unlock bootloader and then apply FTF then latest Cyanogenmod...
I will also post my FTF in General section.
But if someone has already done this it would save me a very late night

Ah ok... fair enough. Well its mainly just the BB and NFC firmware I'm after anyway.
Out of interest, what is the difference between the different regions??

Mainly just different bundled apps, I believe. All of the core system components, the kernel, baseband etc are the same for all releases of 244.

Hello XDA
I've had my first Android phone 10 months ago. Now I have broken apps (Google Play and Google+) and I want to try alternate firmwares but most importantly I first want to have a safe backup, as I cannot afford bricking it.
About the phone:
I have a x29i (LT29i) that I got shipped from Hong Kong in January 2013 (dx.com/s/168057)
I understand this is an unbranded/generic Sony Xperia XT / LT29i
I have succesfully rooted the phone using 'Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31'
I can also connect to the phone using 'Xperia flashing tool Version 0.9.11.0" (Bin4ry Androxyde).
I did NOT manage to install CWM, it appears not to be supported.
Also, instructions I found refer to the Sony Companion software, which I tried but did not have success with. I don't know if/how this phone differs from the real Sony phones.
I don't know if my bootloader is unlocked. Probably not, I did not unlock it myself.
Hardware: MT6577 rev:65fb8a00
Model number: LT29i
Android version: 4.1.1 (however the 'easter egg' in "About phone" pops-up with 'Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich'!)
Baseband evrsion: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.P1 .. 2012
Kernel Version: 3.0.13 [email protected] .. SMP PREEMPT ... 2012
I've found lots of information/instructions for the real Sony phones but I'm not sure if it all applies to that unbranded phone... and if I can safely use these files and instructions I find here and there...
If someone knows and is kind enough to tell me I'll appreciate.
Does anyone know of instructions I could follow to backup/restore this particular phone?
I guess the question boils down to: 'how to install CWM on the HongKong x29i (LT29i) phone' ?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Da.
Read post 2 of the all in one thread, it's the first that in the q and a section

Since your phone not same as true LT29i, your phone is Star Xperia TX
You cannot process same as CWM for LT29i
Just search into another web, for MTK device
=)
Thanks Yenkazu!
That is the hint I needed! Now I understand I should use MTK tools. So I will continue with this link I found:

Indeed, so for the unrooted ones in europe/USA this is the better version if you do not want to wait for the update.

this plea isn't valuable, because in front of "original" there is "development". you just screwed up, like other blinded
Is it possible to flash this ftf to C5502 ZR HSPA? I want to buy ZR but only HSPA version is available in my place.

Yes but some say that wifi and network are unstable, and some have no issues at all with c5503 firmware on c5502.

Well im not going to argue this matter with you any more, mr helpful
And either should you since this kind of things should take place in pm and not in the forum.
Also the moderator have corrected my and others mistakes so you did not have to mention it at all.
nothing against you, just tired to see more and more people doing the same mistake. when one guy does it, other may follow the same way thinking they're doing it right. well....
anyone from the asia pacific region got the 4.3 update???????
I'm actually uploading 9 firmwares and will update my thread soon. There is the one from Philippines if you're interested. Hong Kong didn't get the 4.3 deployment yet
I have flashed this NCB on my previous HK 4.2 C5503, works perfectly, (Mario.D thank you), if you don't need region specific bundle ware, try it.

Download the generic of Germany or Switzerland or what ever which region and flash it

I think if you change just the number in build.prop you can update it directly with PCC and get the newest firmware.

Ive tried the CE version and it was buggy, the Vodafone UK version works better but has vodafone specific apps and such so wondering if anyone has the generic UK or if its been released EE version?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum wasn't sure if it should be posted here or in questions.

Hi there I have an ee branded sp and im still waiting for a generic or ee update myself. I tried the Vodafone firmware and didnt like the bloatware. The ce one was better but I didnt like the customisation. I did find ce to be buggy but found that repair through pcc actually optimised all the apps which flasing didnt and it was butter smooth. Didnt like having a Russian play now app or no nfc icon or having 4g reffered to as lte so reverted back to stock ee. If ur not Bothered about these little niggles reflash ce and repair from pcc. Im hoping we get a generic or ee Rom soon
Does the PCC repair redownload the whole ROM again or just fix things with what you have?
Also out of interest where did you get the stock EE 4.1.2? I cant see a link for it and would probably rather revert back.
I've got a generic UK 4.1.2 ftf, I got it from the links inside Xperia update checker. If you download and setup the update checker then click check firmwares when you are on the Xsp C5303, there are links to a few ftf's and one is UK .254 firmware.
I also find the European version to be very slow and sluggish, I'll have to try your idea of using the repair function in pc companion.
I'm still confused how Vodafone got 266 rolled out before the generic version. I hope they are still rolling out more versions, a clean uk 266 would be nice!

I beleive it redownloads the latest Rom for that region (.266 for central europe, the same one If already installed) but this time u get all the apps optimizing at first startup, which didnt happen when flashing the Rom from flashtools from which made it buttersmooth. I dont have a link for the .254 ee Rom I have one for .211 ee rom an older one but that can be upgraded to. 254 ee if u connect it to pcc. And I suggest always updating through pcc whenever possible as I find it gives the best imstall I feel. Il post up the link to the ee .211 Rom in a few mins once I find it again.

Hi. Could u possibly upload the generic UK Rom you have? I have not been able to download ir from anywhere as the file seems to have been removed from any links I find. Il be forever at your service
Yeah I'll sort out uploading them/finding the links, I'm at work at the moment, should be home in about 2 hours, hold on brothers!
Also another thread opened saying Sony Gb are rolling out today, so hopefully I'll be able to make an ftf of 266 generic UK if it's out yet
