[Q] Updating to a newer ROM version - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am currently on 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254, rooted eXistenZ Ultra 3.X (LB).
If I am to upgrade to the newest eXistenZ Ultra 4, would I first need to update my stock firmware to 12.1.A.1.205, re-root, apply latest Doomkernel etc. and then flash the ROM or does the ROM already contain the newest firmware and kernel?
I know the set of instructions are on the second post, however, I just wanted to verify if this method is outdated for the newest ROM update.
Thank you.

Seems that updating the firmware also updates the corresponding kernel.
Please close thread, thanks.

the Existenz thread provides a direct link to the zip file for the existenz rom u mentioned... the ZIP file is not an OTA instead its an entire ROM of around 756MB.. its the latest version 4.0.0 based on latest xperia firmware 12.1.A.1.205 ... just download the ZIP.. flash it using any recovery... after flashing again install another recovery u want and root the device...
try it bro...
all the best... :good:

Benefits of updating from ROM version 1.09.651.5

What are the benefits of updating from ROM version 1.09.651.5 to the latest firmware ? Are there any features that hav actually been taken off in the latest firmware. Or shud i stick to my existing firmware? Is 2.03 the latest version ?
RoM Update
​ Well, I hated my Diamond 'cause it was slow and I had the knack of touching the screen with my ear when calling so I would hang up all the time.. With the new ROM that's fixed.
It's about twice as fast and a lot more stable!!
So upgrading is indeed useful!!!
Good luck!!

Are you talking about Official Firmwares or Unofficial Firmwares?
There is generally more features when updating to a new firmware. If you want speed then i would suggest go with an unofficial firmware such as Dutty or Vics Firmware.
Thnx..I would go with the official firmware.

[Q] Interested in changing from 4.4.2 (ARHD) to 4.2.2 (Miui V5)

Hey guys,
I don't know the answer for sure and although I have a twrp backup I still want to avoid having un-necessary problems.. If I'm using right now ARHD 51, android 4.4.2, BulletProof 4.4.2 kernel and Twrp 2.6.3 and I wanna go for MIUI V5 which is android 4.2.2. Miui requires TWRP 2.6.0 or something like that to work, what are the stages that I have to do now?
I come from the Galaxy S I9000 and there I had to flash first stock or stock based 4.2.2 rom before flashing miui because of the different android versions and I want to know if its the same here? Can I just flash the twrp, 4.2.2 kernel and wipe and flash the miui rom? Or do I have to install some stock 4.2.2 rom first?
Thanks!

make sure to take backup before doing all this
you can try to flash MIUI v5 with TWRP 2.6.3.3, i think it will work
if not use TWRP 2.6.3.0

[Q] It's a good idea updating to official lollipop firmware coming from CM12.1?

Hi! I've d405n with CM12.1 installed. i'm from italy and i see that v20a (lollipop) KDZ for my device is avilable.
Now i'd like to know from everyone tried it, if it's a good idea to flash that firmware or is better stay on that custom ROM, ignoring Official Firmwares, (because i don't want to annoiyng me to rollback to kitkat, rooting, unlock bootloader, flash twrp and rom)
Please comment with bugs, issue or missing features of official firmware
Thank you!!!

Change from CM11 (4.4KK) to Omega ROM (4.3 JB)

I would like to change the ROM in my Xperia T from CM11 (based on 4.4 KK) to Omega ROM (based on 4.3 JB). How could I install this ROM ? Are the any tutorial to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 for Xperia T ?. Also the CWM I have is V6 and I have checked that this ROM requires the CWM V7 or V8 to do installation. Where could I get it ? Thanks in advance.
Hi, first you should flash latest 4.3 firmware via flashtool, it can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Then just root and install recovery from there

And you are ready to flash Omega rom with that recovery.
Thanks
