Just checked and it appears that there is a new FW certified. I hope this is for the UK generic as I have not received the 7.0.A.3.195 or .197 FW yet. I am still running 7.0.A.1.303.
Why not just flash the ftf?

It has not been released yet, it has only been certified by ptcrb, that does not even gurantee it will be released.
No I mean for 3.195

I do not want to change the UK generic FW I have now. I would rather keep it until I get the official update.

The 195 firmware in the all-in-one thread is for Vodafone UK (and one for O2 UK I've just seen added.)
Just like Batman, I'm waiting for the generic UK version. Up to you though SWFlyerUK.
Any difference between them?
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.

Thats fine, but all you have to do is remove the bloatware and you will end up with a debranded FW, that is of course if you want to root, and on this FW you need to unlock the bootloader to do that.

none at all, you will just get some extra vodafone bloatware apps that can be removed with titanium backup, again with the proviso you want to root.
Thanks for the quick response, determined not to mess with this phone, so it's rooted but will keep bootloader locked and stock firmware

Thats fine, but if you update to .195 you will have to unlock the bootloader in order to root it again, unless a new exploit is found.
Hi all please help me
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.
Orange blocks fastboot and assumes simlock.
can i unlock My bootloader? if so, how.
due to the original method: allowed-NO
(so sorry my english is poor)
Goto the dial pad and type
#*#*service*#*#
Look for the menu to see if bootloader unlocking is allowed.
If it is then follow my guide in the all in one thread on how to unlock via the official Sony way

Can someone who has an unbranded Xperia Z with UK FW please dump/create a FTF and post the ROM here?
The only generic FW posted here is from a demo device unfortunately.
Thanks.
I got mine from Carphone Warehouse earlier today and I haven't touched it yet so I might be able to help. Not sure how to make a ftf from it though..

That'd be awesome though it's a bit of work...
The basic instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27031352
Note that doing this WILL re-flash your phone (because the update can't be stopped after it has downloaded) so you may not want to go ahead.
You will also need to use the beta Flashtool for Xperia Z to actually decrypt the files. Then you can load them up in full Flashtool and proceed to make FTF out of it (I think, didn't do this myself, I stopped after decrypting them).
I would suggest not doing this if you're not tech savvy.

In the meantime you can safely flash the French generic firmware posted here. It's full-retail and I've been using it. As all firmwares in this part of the world are multilingual anyway there isn't much difference.
But yeah, UK FW would be nice...
Question: if I flash non-branded firmware (French for example) and then use Sony Update Service to re-install my firmware, which firmware will it download? French unbranded? The branded one I had before from my carrier? UK unbranded?

Wrong. Simply unplug after the download is complete and your device will remain untouched.

It re-downloads the currently running one. If you already reflashed the phone and didnt note down your SI you may never go fully back to stock if you cant find the FTF of the exact firmware you were originally running.

OOOPS Nevermind.
2) Download the firmware
Download one of the following:
[C6603] Generic Nordic 10.1.A.1.434
[C6603] Generic UK 10.1.A.1.350
If you can source a different FTF for your region, you can use that instead of the above files. However, the above files will work on any Xperia Z (C6603) handset and provide numerous language options.

Hi, although I'm not new to Android I am new to any sort of flashing.
Dedranding me xperia z and getting rid of all of Threes bloatware definitely interests me but I have a couple of questions. Once the debranding has been done will all future updates then come from Sony or will they still come from Three? And would that then mean the phone would have to be re-debranded after any updates?
Would I need to unlock my phone from the network?
Also, I assume other than the bloatware all the other features and apps all remain unchanged?
Thanks

Updates will come from Sony, you will get the generic updates at the same time as all sim free users.
Unlocking your phone is different to the branding. You can put any stock rom on your phone, so any networks version or any generic version, but your phone will still be SIM locked to your network until you pay for it to be unlocked.

Hi
Just wondering whether anyone has an XT bought from O2 UK, as I am looking to get one of these phones, and whether you were able to unlock the bootloader (do O2 allow it?)
Also, what state are CM10/10.1 in right now, as in what does/doesn't work.
Thanks

I don't have O2, but this has been dealt with several times in the forum before regarding unlockable phone or not.

@datagubben
I think he is asking before he buys the device.

I suggest ask the salesman when he sells it to you, and if he cannot answer the question goto to vodafone, every single phone I have from them is sim unlocked and bootloader unlockable.

I'll be buying this online, as it's refurbished and quite cheap, albeit on a bad tariff (100MB internet :crying.
I did talk to an online adviser who was pretty useless and had no idea what a bootloader was, so that is why I came here to see if anyone with an O2 branded version could tell me. I shall wait for an answer

It'll probably be the same as my xperia T (sounds like the same deal i got), the bootloader is not unlockable on mine.
I'm on o2, got the Xperia t. I'm locked completely :/ we're hoping for a kexec or some other way around it by tampering in the ta, but nothing yet.

What about flashing a generic ROM? Would that work? I've never owned a phone with a locked bootloader so I'm not sure how they work.

Of course they can....whats your point? Stock FTF's are complete stock roms.
Got my Xperia T on o2 through Tesco Phone Shop,
sim unlocked and unlockable bootloader.
My Xperia T is from O2 which was sim locked and bootloader locked.
Thanks to the folks at Cellunlocker.net, after emailing them, 2 days later my sim was unlocked, and my O2 sim was set on fire and extinguished through urination.
Cost £25 through Cellunlocker, O2 cost £20 AFTER 12 months usage.

True, He did say that, but since its blindinly obvious that that is allowed I interpreted his "generic" rom to mean a "stock based" rom, looks like we got our wires crossed.
Edit
To clarify the point
All phones can flash stock FTF files
Rooted phones with recovery can flash stock based roms and FTFs
Unlocked bootloaders can flash custom kernels, all custom roms, stock based roms and FTFs
Good that you clarified it Greg, I agree that it was not completely clear what he meant.

I'm in India but got an o2 uk unlocked XT!! the bootloader is locked forever. better not to buy from o2
I have my new XZ in my hands and it is a lovely phone.
It is currently on build number .350 - I've been looking at the tutorials and it looks like I need to upgrade to .434, root, then flash a rooted rom based on 253.
This XZ is a Three UK locked handset with Bootloader Unlock Allowed:No. My question is - do I need to flash .434 specific to Three UK or can I flash an Unbranded one?
Or failing that - does Onw Click Root or similar work on .253?

To clarify, it's irrelevant really what you flash in that respect, and no there isn't a one click solution at the moment. I've stuck on 434 and just flashed the 253 kernel, which has updated the display.

So i went ahead and flashed the 4.3 journalists rom thats available here. Works amazing..smooth as butter and blazingly fast.
No point in waiting for upgrade to show up on your phone. You'll be lucky to get 4.3 by middle of next year from Bell!! they're pathetic when it comes to sony upgrades..
