root, then flash baseband ending in 015, then install xrecovery, and then use xrecovery to install custom rom.
This Baseband is an official one, I think it comes with the original ".6" and the ".C.0.0" build, so you have the choice beetwenn flashing it via Flashtool or updating via PCC.
move.........
hmmm...

if you're Europe then you should flash Europe open. it's good stock firmware until wait for GB
On a custom rom, wouldnt update OTA, just use smartflash. You never know the outcome with FOTA on custom roms, i think FOTA should even be disabled on custom roms? At least on Cyanogen it is disabled.
I have LG-P999DW from Windmobile in Canada, can I use the Europe open P990 stock rom?

How to install this ROM and Kernel? Can anyone help me?
I have 2 tar files but I don't know how to install to Optimus 2X"
Tahnks Guys!
hello I am an old Z user , but it got stolen 6month ago...
I just got a new one, I'm not a noob but I'm lost on what is the latest rom to install and the proper way to root it as I'm sure old methods aren't working anymore...
from what I roughly understood, you need to unlock the bootloader now?
if yes I would need help on that!
(I heard about some "framework" stuff to install as well)
thanks for helping !

latest ROM is 4.3 - build number 10.4.1.B.0.101
You only need an unlocked bootloader if you want custom ROMS such as CM, PAC etc with custom kernels. Cant flash custom kernels if on locked bootloader
Unlock bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/tutorial-xperia-z-zl-bootloader-t2153261
To root you will need to be on a 4.2 ROM, once rooted you can install a recovery then you can install a rooted 4.3 ROM or custom ROM
Follow this method to root on stock rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
(additional guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/guide-how-to-root-101-firmware-lb-t2656698)
Follow this method to gain recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/ub-lb-xzdualrecovery-xperia-z-qa-thread-t2477769
Should be ready to flash stuff
thanks a lot!!!
was lost into all the new infos...
so to install 4.3 - 10.4.1.B.0.101 no need to unlock, right?
(I only need the sony rom)

Correct, you do not need to unlock the bootloader if you are going to install the 4.3 - 10.4.1.B.0.101 ROM.
You can either do this on flashtool by flashing a 4.3 FTF or you can root and install recovery and flash a rom zip file
Well hello, I'm kinda new to Xperia Modding and I'm trying to install a custom rom on my phone.. I just have some questions first:
1. Is there any custom rom that allows me to send apps and else to my external SD Card?
2. My phone can't unlock the bootloader since I checked that and it says it can't.. can I still install roms that way?
3. I'm trying or I want to install the Evo9 Custom Rom .. and my phone specs are the following:
Model: C6943
Android Version 4.4.4
Baseband Version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270054-51
Core Version: 3.4.0-perf-g0109737
Compilation Number: 14.4.A.0.108
What do I exactly have to do in order to install that custom ROM on my phone? since the tutorial for lockedbootloader phones is really confusing..
/!\ for locked bootload
If you come from 761 or before
- Flash the ROM by recovery
- Flash the Gapps
- Power off
- Flash by flashtool the good kernel (C6902/03/06/43) for your device 108ftf strippedkernel by Nut...
Reboot and enjoy

What's 761 exactly? that number doens't say anything to me actually ._.
and the "flash by flashtool the good kernel" isnt' making sense to me since I assume I'm ignorant.. please could someone explain those things to me?
Thanks in advance.
1. Yes
2. Yes but only stock based roms
3. You have to get phone rooted and custom recovery installed
Head over this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
All info there.

No, once you have the recovery you flash the custom rom from there

I'm on .108.. do I need to reflash the kernel? or it stays untouched?
Does this work with any operator?
1. hi all i wanted to ask for ur guidance/procedure on how to recover from bootloop if recoveries aren't functional after u've flashed a custom ROM.
2. what will happen if we flash kernel to LOCKED BL?
plz exclude flashing the stock FTF file, i need other options aside from reflashing.. i knew it already.

1. You are sure you did it this way as said under point 2?
2. It depends.
As far as I know - most base of all base rules is to stick to proper kernel.
Locked BL requires kernel for locked bootloaders.
All parts of ROM has to be consistent together. system, boot, kernel ...
Either for locked or for unlocked BL. Mixing stock and custom ROM parts is very unhealthy.
I think you need to know if the device enters in flashmode, next would be flash a new stock rom ftf with flashtool.
If the steps are OK you should have your device fixed, and have the bad xperience mixing lb ub Kerns could be....
Hope 2 have helpd you
Regards

Hi, I am currently use SOKP (5.1.1) rom on my t mobile note 4. My baseband is still COD6 (I guess bootloader should be in the same version as baseband). My TWRP is still 2.8.0.X.
I want to switch to Touchwiz based custom rom. In the meanwhile, I think I need to update the baseband (bootloader and etc) and TWRP for a smooth experience.
Can anyone advise an approach to do it? I am thinking to flash the latest original N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB.zip rom via odin. Can anyone post a link to the instruction? I want to make sure what I do via odin is correct.
I assume this flash will automatically update bootloader and baseband to the latest version. and I need to re-root and update TWRP per the instruction here before flash the TW based custom rom.
I figured out that I could just load the stock via odin and go from there. So far so good.
