Thanks for this.:good:
I've previously used the .370 FTF you posted on my 311 to get myself out of a mess. Worked fine.

Have you experianced any issues flashing a 32gb firmware onto a 16gb device? does everything show correctly under storage?
I messed up mine too and had to flash a German firmware to my UK device but want to flash back to UK.

I didn't use it for very long - it was just a "stepping-stone" when I was trying to get root on 4.2.2
So I did very little more than install gapps, boot it up, use Play store, download, install & configur SuperSU.
I may have used RootExplorer to check the content of my external SD card...but I'm not 100% sure

What version are you running on now?
I've just flashed it myself and there's no apparent issues but I'm desperate for the UK 16GB FTF. Did you update to 32GB 4.2.2?

I'm using the latest PAC 4.3 Nighlty ROM at the moment - though just about to try a CM10.1 (4.2.2) "experimental" which has GPS fixed (this has been a problem with all the custom ROM using 4.2 or 4.3).
I've been off work recovering from an operation - so I'm filling my time flashing ROMs :laugh: - one of the advantages of unlocking my bootloader - but I wish I'd read about backing up the TA partition before unlocking - I've lost all my Sony DRM stuff :crying:

Flashed this FW and a different one to test, but can't seem to get Google Now on either.
When I swipe up from the bottom I get Google search and it looks like Google Now but there's no cards.
Is it just me or has Now been dropped?

[Q] [Xperia T] Can't update to JB

Hey everyone,
I know that there is an update to JB for the Xperia T a while now, and I just got my Xperia T today. So I wanted to update, but the PC Companion says it is already up to date. But when I look up the system details it says Android 4.0.4 and Build 7.0.A.3.226. Is this some kind of branded build?
I got the phone at the MWC directly from Sony, so no provider should have branded it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

If you really want the update, you can do it manually with flashtool. Maybe the update is not available to your region yet?
Do I need to open the bootloader for that? I don't want the update so badly, but I thought it should be available for a month... so, wtf?
I'm not pretty sure to which region it belongs since it was a gift from Sony.
You don't need root or unlocked bootloader, just flashtool and the JB FTF

Thats because there is a new firmware avaiable,
however, in the all in one thread your ftf has probably already been uploaded and linked there
but if you want to back up your current rom you can root, install cmw and backup, then you can always restore back to where you are now with no problems

Exactly, I wanted to perform the backup right before rooting.
I just got my hands on the phone, that's why I'm trying to back it up now and no, this specific firmware build is not in the ftf list in the All in One, fact that makes me wonder if this build is somewhat special...

[Q] Sony Xperia Z bricked after custom 4.3 Rom

Hi All,
Hoping for some advise and hopefully a fix. Been scouring these forums for 4 hours and cannot find a problem the same as mine or one that seems like it would fix.
I've always stuck to nexus phones in the past so the xperia z is new to me. picked it up this weekend but i've already had enough of sony's custom skin so thought i'd get a custom rom.
I updated to the latest software version using the pc suite and then used the xperia z root tool (v16).
After this i downloaded root checker and verified i was rooted
i then downloaded cwm recovery and installed
i then downloaded the 4.3 google edition rom for the xperia z, put it on the sd card and went into recovery, selected it from sd card. said it all installed ok so selected reboot...
after this it didnt come back on and just vibrates once when you press the power button. tried the hard reset thing where it vibrates 3 times but after this it does nothing.
it isnt recognised when plugged in to pc and the only sign of life that i can see is the light flashing red when plugged in as if charging.
Any ideas? never had something not switch on at all before.
Is your bootloader even unlocked?
4.3 roms and all other roms with non stock kernels cannot be flashed on a locked device.

Easy. Just repair with SUS
or
Download flashtool, and download the corresponding firmware you need (should be .ftf format) (i.e. if your a UK generic user download UK generic ROM) and flash the firmware.
fixed
Thanks guys. Flashtool got me back up and running.
Now, just because I'm obviously a complete tool does anyone know off the top of their head if it is actually possible to put the Google edition 4.3 on here after all of that or should I quit while I'm ahead???

If all that seems too complicated then i advice you don't attempt it right away, read around the XDA forum and familiarise yourself before attempting to brick your phone :silly:
Dude does your bootloader unlocked? If not maybe it cause u a soft brick. Try to flash the original ftf for xperia z use the latest flash tool then reflash it. Hope it helps you. Btw welcome to the SONY world ;p

Xperia Z will not update, what steps can I take to get the proper firmware on it?

Hi folks, I have an Xperia Z and its still stuck at 4.1.2
It's a prototype model, I've used the phone now for months and its been working great despite the lack of updates but I'm hoping it can have the latest software like the rest of the phones out there.
The bottom of the phone has C6606 written on it but the image on the screen shows C6616. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, that is really very strange. You could try to contact DoomLord or Apollo89, they have knowledge of such things.
Are you rooted? Can you do a CWM Backup? I suggest having a full backup before flashing another rom. So in case you need it, you can flash it back.
I am not sure if you have the same kernel as the rest of us. If you can not do a CWM backup, and are not rooted, you need to find a way to extract the file "boot.img" from the phone. This is the kernel, which you can easily flash back. But for this operation, a bootloader unlock will most probably be necessary.
If you can get no help from Doom or Apollo and can not extract boot.img, you might need to flash hoping for luck, or stay on the firmware you have.
Disclaimer: I might be much too paranoid, after all your phone seems to have the same hardware as the normal one, and a flash of a 10.4.B.0.569 ROM should be no problem. I just don't want to be the one that did not warn you and be responsable for a broken phone...
===============================================================
EDIT: Just had a look at the thread, C6616 is bell Canada, if you had found that, you could have reported back and told us that you solved the problem.
===============================================================
thanks for the advice. I still haven't tried anything with the phone. I've unlocked and flashed the firmware on my old Galaxy Nexus which for some reason also never updated (bought directly from Bell) but this one trying to read through all the information I'm having some trouble deciding on which method to use and where to really start.
If someone has a simple tutorial on flashing these phones please do share, otherwise I might just leave it as is and by the latest Nexus when this phone's done.

sorry to sound dumb, but I can't figure out which firmware to select for my phone. Can someone please recommend a link for the correct file to flash this with? Also does it matter which generic firmware I use? I don't want to get the Bell firmware and end up with all the bloatware they have on there. I'd prefer as close to a clean firmware as possible so I can start getting the latest updates onto this phone.

I think all Generic firmwares have the same "bloatware" app in common and all carrier branded firmwares have their carrier specific apps, so just choose a generic firmware and then remove all unuseful bloatware apps (if you go root).

Any info about that error??
Why not flash to 4.3 directly with flashtool or to 4.2 and then upgrade to 4.3?
Also try a fresh install by wiping data (if you have already a backup of them of course) it maybe helps..

I've tried a couple times now to update that system update, its 10.4.B.0.569, once it starts to install it goes to the robot install logo at the startup for a second then starts the phone right away without doing the full install. The message on screen is simply "could not install".
i'll try a factory reset then directly to 4.3. I'm assuming I can use the same method as before or do I need to look into rooting the phone now?

As soon you are installing a stock rom, you don't have to worry about root.
But if you wanna root, your only choice is to flash a 4.2 rom, root it with a method of your choice and then upgrade to a prerooted 4.3.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to a FW that works with my phone? the only one that I seem to be able to use with flashtool is this one here which is 4.1.2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390178
however it won't let me update the system!
I'm guessing that I need a C6616 firmware to make this work, but I also tried this one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612159 and I get an error in flashtools, in red writing 'ERROR - error flashing. Aborted'.
I've been searching on here and all the other firmwares are 6603 which I tried a couple and again errors in flashtools.
trying again with that 4.1.2 its flashing it but its not the firmware I need!
ok, finally got one of them to work! I'm not sure what it was but I downloaded a bunch of firmwares until one of them finally updated me to 4.3.
thanks for all the help!

[Q] Rooting and installing CM

Hi All,
I recently upgraded to the Z1 from my old S2 where I was running cyanogenmod nightlies. At first I was very happy with the phone but after upgrading the firmware to 4.3 I keep getting errors on all of my Wi-Fi networks where it says "Assosiaction Rejected" and thus without noticing I am using my mobile data instead.
So today I decided to root and install CM on it. Only thing is I can;t really find any good tutorials online on how to do so.
I will be following the instructions on Sony's page for rooting purposes, but after that I am lost.
So my questions are:
1. Where can I find a tutorial on flashing CWM or TWRP onto this device?
2. Will the CM versions under "honami" work for this phone? (C6903 with 4.3)
Apologies that I could not post any links to Sony and CM as i am a new user.
Some help will be greatly appreciated as the Wi-Fi issue is a big one for me.
Thanks,
Chris
1) Follow the instruction HERE and you will get your Recovery. Watch the Video Tutorial for Root, it explain well what to do.
2) To flash CM on your phone you have to Unlock Bootloader, if you do that you Warranty will be voided and I recommend to Backup TA first.
BTW, is not recommended to cross over from other Models the Roms, it can damage your phone.
But if you don't care about Warranty and the Risk, is up to you, flash it and see if it will work.

I have just got my SXZ1 so I can share with you chow to manage it do get CM11 and how to do it correctly.
1. You have to make sure that you have right version of stock ROM to root it.
it is has to be: 14.1.G.1.534. If you have different please flash it by FlashTool like I had
the newest stock 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3277&task=get
2. Now when you have right firmware version you have to root it, forexample by vRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45464115&postcount=2
3. When you are root'ed make copy of your TA to backup DRM keys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
4. Now you can unlock bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
5. Now you have do download 2 files:
CM11: http://fxpblog.co/installation/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/
GAPPS for CM11:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
6. Copy both of this files to some microSD card and put it to your SXZ1
7. Flash back the .290 ROM forexample the globar version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
8. Reboot to system to make sure your IMEI is still correct !
9. From CM11 zip file extract boot.img and flash it by FlashTool in fastboot mode
10. After proper flashing of boot.img during tyrning on your SXZ1 when you can see
diode in purple color keep pressing volume up button antil diode will change do orange.
Then you will enter CWM
11. Install from microSD card CM11 than GAPPS and make full wipa and cache wipe.
12. After configuration youcan go to updates and download the newest CM11 nightly
13. It is done
Now you can enjoy with your SXZ1 with the newest CM11 as I am

I am sure about flashing C5503 rom on C5502 device because i am using it myself.
To flash custom recovery bootloader should be unlocked as far as i know but this is an official rom so i dont know. It may work without unlocking. (You dont recieve official OTA updates with unlocked bootloader thats the only harm, if you end up unlocking remember to backup TA files)
If you are on stock you can try flashing it without wiping internal memory but it is recommended to wipe it as not wiping may end up with problems like some apps not working.
Good Luck! :good:
PS- I am also a newb, you can search again and verify this information though i think it os correct.

Yes move to SD is available in Lollipop ROM
4.3 has been very stable for me, and I've been using it for the longest time, unwilling to update to KK even. However, now, I'm thinking of updating to 5.1.1, but I keep hearing a voice in my head saying "if it ain't broke..." It's just that the lure of moving apps to SD is strong, especially since the ZR only has around 4.5GB of usable space. I'm also unwilling to lose my progress in some of my games, so I'd like to update but I don't want to wipe/reset to factory default. Which means the update might make my phone unstable and laggy. I'm just so torn about this.

A carefully planned upgrade with app data backup should be hassle free.
I've now updated to 5.1.1 (without wiping my data) and everything went through without a hitch! I'm liking it so far . Sadly, it looks like this is the last update for my beloved ZR, as it probably won't get Marshmallow anymore.

yep, but this method still makes internal full because not all files moved to SD.
i recommend link2sd or foldermount
root required of course
