Need original firmware files of W8

I know I can simply just flash via SEUS/PC Comp but is there a file of W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware files that can be used in flash tool? I can only find E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0

As I wrote in another post earlier this week ...
No, there are no FTF flash ROM images of the genuine W8 firmware around. The best thing you will be able to find, through Google, is a xRecovery backup of 2.1.1.A.0.46.
Best method would be ... restore your phone back to the original firmware though PCC/SEUS (whatever works for you). After the flash is done don't boot the device - fire up Flashtool, connect the phone in Flash mode and create a FTF image from the newly restored ROM. Once that's done verify your phone boots up correctly and then maybe upload the FTF image to share it with others looking for it.

Just looked at Flashtool - and - my bad ... the Backup option in the Advanced menu does not create a FTF (as I thought it would) but only backup /system/app.
In short - there's no easy way to create a FTF image directly from the phone.
The only two easy way would therefore be to pull a xRecovery backup from the E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware (which means that you have to boot, root and inject xRecovery - best done through Flashtool - to have a Flashable restore). Only downside is that this can't be easily restored through Flashtool if the phone is stuck in a boot-loop or whatever else soft-brick problem.

Help
My BuildNumber is W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 but the Sony PC Companion still reads W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.6 and always requesting to update my phone...I download the xRecovery backup of 2.1.1.A.0.46. and restore it using xRecovery of my phone..

SEUS or PCC? I did it with FlashTool instead.
Search in the forums, there are tons of topics about changing baseband. Notice that doing it is easy but risky, because it is possible to brick your phone.
Here you have a baseband collection to flash in your X8 depending on if it is E15i or E15a:

for goodness can u please provide me simple step by step instructions how to update baseband using flashtool !!! iam very new to flashtool .
already downloaded flashtool waiting for ur instructions

Well, you can know your phone model by checking it in Settings>About. You'll see there if it is E15a or E15i.
Before continuing, check the following things:
You have installed Sony Ericsson's drivers (if you installed PCC, it should be right).
Your phone is rooted.
I don't know if this is necessary, but enable "USB debugging" in Settings>Applications>Development>"USB debugging". If you rooted your phone, this should be already set.
Your phone is not connected to the PC.
Download the correct baseband depending on the model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Download FlashTool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
Extract the downloaded FTF file into the folder "Firmwares" from the FlashTool main folder.
Run FlashTool and press "Flash" (the lightning icon), and select the first option. In the next form, select the right firmware on the left, and ALL the files on the right.
After accepting, you'll be shown some instructions to plug your phone. But before that, turn off your phone, wait some seconds, remove the battery and put it on again. With the phone still off, press "Back" button and connect it to the PC (without releasing the button).
You'll see when Flashtool finishes its work, and you'll be able to unplug the phone. Turn it on to check everything is OK.
You're done.
As I said in a previous post... this is a bit risky and I recommend you seeing some other topics about upgrading baseband.

I recommend to use PC Companion.
1: flash back stock kernel. If u use stock kernel, jump this step.
2: open PCC
3: select support zone
4: select update, then select repair
5: when the PC starts the download, turn off the phone
6: follow the PCC's instructions
7: Congrats! You have now stock ROM!
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

Use flashtool, it is far better than PCC
1.Download flashtool
2.Download stock rom image from http://www.multiupload.com/XLV6AA41DB
3.Download baseband suitable to your phone from (http://www.mediafire.com/?d3pobqqc3py66)
4.Place both files to flashtool/firmwares folder
5.Install drivers from flashtool/drivers folder
6.(Dont connect your mobile to pc),Now click flash in flashtool and flash rom first
7.Flash baseband
8.Disconnect and restart
9.Done

Make sure your phone is fully charged (minimum recommended value 70%). Now follow these steps below :
1) Connect your phone in MTP (Media Transfer Port) mode with your PC.
2) Open PC Companion and wait phone to be detected, after detection go to update option and click Repair My Phone/Tablet.
3) Leave the device until repair finishes.
Another method :
1) Flash 4.1.2 firmware from here Xperia SP 4.1.2
2) Flash it via Flashtool.
3) Extract the Kernel.sin from the stock FTF file (Android 4.3) you previously have downloaded.
4) Open Flashtool (By Androxyde) and then open tools->sin editior and select Kernel.sin where ever you extracted it.
5) Click extract data and wait.
6) Once you get the kernel.elf file rename it to boot.img.
7) Flash it as kernel via Flashtool.
8) Now select the stock FTF (Android 4.3) you downloaded and then before flashing look into right side you'll see an exclude option box.
9) Exclude kernel.sin and flash the FTF.
Check and see if any of the above methods work for you.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

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.
