Hey guys, I'm currently on a custom ROM on my C6903, I was wondering what the procedure would be to install the stock lollipop sony will be releasing soon on my device? I have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP recovery.
Thanks.

Flash stock ftf for your z1 then restore TA partition... Be sure to be on stock rom and kernal before restoring TA.. Stock roms can be now downloaded from flashtool directly...:thumbup:

i am updating my phone to jellybean, and for this, i need to flash jb kernel, bt cwm has no any option to flash that kernel because kernel is in .ftf, and only zip file can be flashed. what should i do ?
You can't flash kernel from CWM. You have to do it with Flashtool.

Yep, do it via flashtool bro. Next time be sure to search please

have you unlock your device ?
you don't understand about how to flash custom kernel...so its mean you don't understand about how to unlock bootloader.
Before flashing custom rom you must read "Requrement and Installation" carefully.

Just flash any GB kernel after that and you'll be fine. Search for cocore 4.1 for GB.

No you don't need to unlock the bootloader as iur device is practically made unlocked. So yeah it is unlocked already. Just flash the official 4.1.2 JB samsung firmware. No root needed.

We do not have to unlock bootloader.
Install CoCore kernel, you will get custom recovery. And install ROM with it.
1. ROOT.
2. CoCore.
For first install of CoCore do this: Install Universal kernel flash, and some explorer with root permissions like Root explorer or ES file explorer. Download CoCore zip, unpack it and use kernel.bin.md5 file with Universal kernel flash. After that you will get CWM or TWRP (depends what CoCore version you choose). From that part you can change kernel by installing its zip from recovery.
3. Download JB custom ROM, copy to phone - and install it from recovery.

Yeah just like shut_down says above..we do not have to unlock bootloader. We can just flash the firmware. Sorry for the confusion.

thanks for your awesome rply.. i rooted my device (JB now) and gonna install the cocoreE 6.8 kernel . u said to flash kernel.bin.md5 file with Universal kernel flash.. and after doing this and accessing the custom cwm do i need to install the cocore kernel zip from it again before installing custom ROM?

You do not need to do it again, but you could. Because there are some other files in that zip - and those are not being installed with Universal kernel flash.

When you flash stock JB firmware (not ROM) you get all stock, ready to pass warranty.
If you want to go to GB, you need to follow guide how to do that. Because you will get bootloop if you just flash GB from Sammobile.

Firmware is untouched system, for flashing with Odin. And ROM is modded files that can be installed with custom recovery. In short.

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...
I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware
Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.

Flashed in that manner only. Wiping all and not excluding anything.
I have a doubt. There is nothing related to 'Baseband' in contents list or in exclude?
I read somewhere that i need to flash baseband from ftf in order to fix. Is it true?

Bro all you need is a sony flashtool, sony pc companion, your z1, and some patience.
first of all make a ftf of original firmware for you device this might help second step flash the ftf which you made using flashtool (remember this ftf is the orignal copy of stock firmware).
after flash process finished just simply turn on your device and this might get back your modem's and signal and yes your imei number as how it should be.
