Use Flashtool v0.9.11.0 to flash.
If you want root, unlock your bootloader, flash a kernel with recovery and flash superuser.

Is it possible to root on this version (.307)??
I need root >_<...

Root is not a "need", but a "want", and the answer to your question is probably not. Just unlock your bootloader, flash a kernel with recovery then flash superuser.

I´m not able to flash it.
Flashtool says "Device connected in flash mode" and that's it.
Other Firmware are working, any idea?

Did you update flashtool to the latest version? Only 0.9.11.0 works for Xperia Tablet Z iirc.
EDIT: 0.9.11.0 flashes fine for my XTZ on OSX.

Tried it and installed, thank you!

Hey,
works great thanks, I don't have the DoCoMo crap anymore
I have the LTE 32GB version, is there anyway I can resize the partition or I need to wait for a 32gb version you think?
Thanks again

Not by flashing via flashtool. You may be able to resize partitions using adb shell or something like that, but that's highly dangerous and untested. There is no 32GB LTE version of the XTZ for worldwide though, so you may be stuck with only 16GB of storage.

If one was to go back to the stock docomo firmware by putting tablet in flashmode will pc companion download the docomo firmware?
Basically how do I go back to 32gb version until I get international LTE 32gb
Cheers

I guess repairing via PC Companion would work. Flashing the DoCoMo ftf might work, but not sure about that.

So ill need to find a ftf download first :/
Wish there were just a partition resize app lol

I lost root and custom recovery after flashing this. But this update brings about the wonderful update to the touch screen which makes the tablet so much more easy to use.
Hopefully, someone will create custom recovery and root for this later.

I tried to get default DoCoMo firmware using PC companion but it just says my tablet is up to date.

No FTF file can be modified. It will not unlock your bootloader, nor will it do any dastardly things to your tablet other than update it.

Simple, no
Don't accept any OTA firmware if you unlocked bootloader
You can update firmware via flashtool by downloading stock FTF firmware

Very good advice. Don't do OTA
If there is no ftf posted you can make one
Use PCCompanion and use the "repair" option. It will download the necessary files to flash your phone but will fail to flash because if your unlocked bootloader.
Then use flashtool to make the ftf from the downloaded files which ou can then flash in flashtool
the instructions on how to do this are in the all in one thread

Need c6606 .283 firmware

hi guys,
im in need of the .ftf for my c6606. i have searched everywhere and cant find a damn thing for the 10.5.a.1.283 firmware. before my phone officially got the update for KK i decided to flash the customized firmware and it changed my phone to c6616. when trying to restore my phone it says that there is no firmware to download in pc companion. the reason i want to start fresh is my phone has issues with mobile data sometimes and even on wifi, data just wont load.
thanks guys

Follow part 2 of my guide to package your own FTF using Flashtool. Just make sure your installed version of Flashtool is up to date.
Once you've done it, you can share it in the general section to help others looking for it.

Thanks for the reply. I want to flash the baseband that is for the c6606. By doing it that way would there be any issues? Or should I just root the phone and change things in the build prop so that it says it's a c6606 and hopefully it will update that way

Just try what he said,i did that yesterday and all went well,just see if you do it right!

So after trying a few firmwares I had issues with phone kept restarting. So I wiped everything and flashed back to the available c6606 firmware and got ota for 4.3 after that. Now that I'm on 4.3 it says I'm on the most up to date fw in PC companion and on phone. Sony website says most up to date is the .283 KitKat fw. Any reason why I can't update?

Can't install OTA update

Hey, so my phone was on a custom ROM for some time now and I just recently went back to stock by flashing an .ftf file with FlashTool.
Since I wanted to go very sure that I take the right file to flash, I chose one with the firmware version 12.1.A.0.266 because I didn't find a newer one, I trusted, thinking I could update it to 12.1.A.1.207 via Update Center then. The flashing process went flawless but the thing is that I couldn't update my phone.
I go into the Update Center, click on download (it's the newest 12.1.A.1.207 firmware) and afterwards on install. The phone shuts down and for 4 or 5 seconds the screen shows the normal animation it always shows, when updating firmware.
After these 4 or 5 seconds it reboots normally and I get the alert that installation is not possible. I tried it a hundred times via PC Companion as well but it always says that I have modified software and it can't be updated.
I also reset my phone thinking this could solve the issue but it didn't and now I don't know what to do. I don't really want to flash an .ftf file again because I'm always a bit anxious when flashing something.
If you have an idea on how to solve my problem I'd be very thankful

Anyone?

[Q] OTA Lollipop then root?

Hi
Got Z3C, D5803, Android version 5.0.2
Build 23.1.A.0.726
Bootloader Unlockable: No
Can it be rooted?
If so at what cost?
If this has been asked and answered, I'm sorry. Please forgive my search skills.

Hey,
The only way to get root on lollipop is to downgrade to 23.0.A.2.93 (or whatever it is) root that and install recovery.
After that you can flash a pre-rooted zip to get back to lollipop - all this can be done with a locked bootloader
Steps: (All specific instructions to root / install recovery / flash firmware are in the provided links)
Download and install Flashtool
Download a KitKat ftf download the ftf for your phone model (D5803) and download from the version 23.0.A.2.93 list, any brand will do as they are all the same on the inside
Flash the KitKat ftf using FlashTool
Root using giefroot then install recovery with XZDR
After you have rooted and got a working recovery you can go into recovery (when booting, on the sony xperia screen, when you see the green light hold the volume down button) and flash THIS PRE-ROOTED zip (Instructions to flash are within the link)

Thanks for the info.
Seems like a lot to go through to delete bloatware.
I may just stay stock, for the first time ever! Or wait until some genius figures out how to root Lollipop
One question, if I did root with the BL locked would I still get OTA?
Appreciate all the help.

Yep, you would still get OTA but if you did update you would loose your root

Wouldn't SuperSU's OTA survival option work? It worked with the 23.0.1.A.5.77 OTA
I mean root in KK and doing this instead of flashing a pre-rooted fw

Sadly the lollipop (OTA or computer update) seems to completely remove root no matter what survival modes / root keepers you have
In the latest version of SuperSU (SuperSU 2.46) the survival option has been removed. Hopefully soon there will be a way for survival to work - but root and recovery is always better

I had this question too.
Thanks everyone for answering it.
I still have a doubt: In HTC devices you did the same but sometimes you needed to update firmwares, radios and stuff via adb.
How do you do it in sony?or you don't?

{Short version; you don't}
After updating or flashing a pre-rooted zip everything is included in that zip / update file
And with the xperia series there is a model for Asia area (Australia, new Zealand etc) and a model for us and UK areas so if you flash a zip / update for the model that you have everything is included (usually you shouldn't have to flash radio or firmware manually unless you really wanted)

Thanks for the answer.
In HTC devices usually all worked well without flashing radios and firmwares but it was always better to keep them updated.Since I never found any tutorial on how to do that for xperias I found it strange.

sorry to bumb an old thread, but
Hi folks, i just rooted the Z3C of a friend and i am curious wether she could install future OTAs and just reflash superSU.zip from recovery or am i missing something? i find this easier than downloading a prerooted FW everytime.
