Bin4ry if you look in Ion general section there is a stock firmware thread that has all the released stock ftf files if you want to add those. Also in the XT section the thread mention above by gregbradley has more stock ft files.

Currently bin4ry cannot host branded firmware.
Are you able to use pccompanion? If you can and your phone was on 3 UK firmware you can create your own .ftf following the guide from the all in one thread. If you have any questions about doing that, ask in that thread or PM me.

Yes this is no problem, all Android Firmwares are multilingual, even the Software will automatically change the language to the SIM language So no worry you can even install arabic firmware and you will get DUTCH automatically when yours SIM is dutch

Thanks! That is good news!

Question:
What's better of these two, I have a TL (AT&T) so I can not root the newer FW.
1.) 7.0.A.1.303 - ROOTED
2.) 7.0.A.3.195 - NOT ROOTED
Thanks.. looking for opinions please as I'm certain there are several others on AT&T who are wondering.

This is not the place for questions like this, but in brief the answer is that it's your choice. If you want system access you need root, if you don't need root then 195 is the latest fw therefore probably better..

You can root the AT&T FW and remove bloatware if you want without issue. As for the two you listed if you flash them you will lose LTE unless you exclude the baseband when flashing. The first one you will be able to root using Bin4ry's method the second one you will not be able to root at all since you have a locked bootloader and Bin4ry's method doesn't work on that firmware.

Thanks Spectre51, I understand the limitations and was wondering if going for the newer FW .195 was really worth loosing root on .303.

(Q)Debranding Xperia Tx

I've Vodafone Australia branded xperia tx which also sim unlocked. I no longer use Vodafone and I would like to debrand it.
Is it possible to flash it with normal non branded Sony firmware?
Also my phone is bootloader locked and it can't be unlocked.
my reason to debrand it is i am afraid that i have to wait for vodafone to release jellybean. not sure about though.
Any help would be really appreciated since i am a noob in this regard.

Firmware 4.3 for Xperia TL Lt30at?

Hi guys, I in Vietnam and I have a Xperia TL Lt30at, I bought it from a store in my country, now I want to upgrade firmware 4.3 for my phone. But I don't know what firmware for it, as I search, that just has firmware 4.3 for Xperia T/TX. I just wondering my phone can read my sim, can use gsm and 3G in my country, so is that unlocked? If it was unlocked, can I use it as every Xperia T (Lt30p) other and up every firmware as Lt30p?
Sorry for my bad english

Hello. I am also using Xperia TL. I can answer your questions :
1) TL can use any rom of Xperia T, not TX made for looked bootloader.
2) You can test your phone with Vietnamese mobile network. If it doesn't run, you should ask your seller to unlock network for you.

I sure that, because i have tried it. I'm using Ultimate PureXT v2.1 of DaRk-L0rD and it run properly, except general bug of xperia T

Had you used search before posting, you would have found my guide on upgrading LT30at to 4.3. LT30p and LT30a/t are the same devices. The only difference is that that a devices have LTE radios in them. Since you use only 3G network, you don't need to worry about basebands.

PureXT is based on stock. Sony no longer upgrades software for its at&t devices, so you have to use stock-based custom ROMs if you want to be up to date.

Let me get this right:
- you own LT30at: Xperia TL with USA at&t branding, not Rogers from Canada, which is LT30a
- you live in Viet Nam and you don't have 4G/LTE network where you live
- you want to upgrade the firmware to 4.3 and keep all native Sony features
All you have to do is follow my guide. There is no 4.3 coming for LT30at via Sony Update Service.
"ROM cook" stuff doesn't mess up your device because it's basically the stock ROM with some APKs added/changed. I don't know why you worry about losing at&t branding - it's absolutely useless to you since you aren't in the USA.
Moreover, flashing using the flashtool, you will lose all of your apps, settings, and root access. If you are fine with that, then do go ahead and pick any TFT firmware for T or TL from the list and then flash it.

[Q] Downgrade

Hi guys, i'm Darwin from Honduras, Central America. Im newest with my SP 5302
So i have dowloaded the newest firmware 12.1.A.1.201, and i didn't read that i can't root from 4.3 JB.
I read some thread and i can make a downgrade from my current FW. So the thing is i can't find a FW that's fits my phone (country or region), the question is ¿Can i use othe countrys FW in my phone (UK, India for example)? It will crash? I will be able to use my sim card and navigate without problems?
Thanks in advice, you guys are awesome.
PS. Pardon my bad english.

If you are interested in the latest .201 which is rooted, there are some devs developing nice ROMs based on .201 with root.
At the moment I am on purexperience which incorporates Z2 gui, etc and fast. It still has some bugs but I can live with it until something better comes along, if at all. :laugh: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691767&page=4)
Otherwise, another dev has put a full .201 in the forum which is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704009)
Note: you will need to be rooted with CWM recovery in order to install these ROMs. The only way that I know is to downgrade the firmware to old 4.1.2 which enables you to use Doomlord's exploit (V18) after which you can install CWM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933 (for this one you will have to flash .254 full firmware before starting the process)
PS: you don't have to get the ftf that fits your country. Just take CE, SG, AU, UK (if you are comfortable with English) and it will prompt you for your language during setup...After all the downgraded ftf is simply a step to root and will be wiped out when you install .201

you can use stock based ROM, I am curently used existenz 2.1.5, it now also have newer version with xperia sirius features on it.

The radio baseband determines the frequency the phone can receive flashing another region firmware won't affect it if yours is a c5303 I know Brazil is then you will be fine flashing other c5303 fw for example uk. I think its just USA that has a different baseband.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Help needed - Proper root Z1 6906

First , I am no noob her as you can see in my signature.
Member since 2007, proud owner of every single smartphone worth playing with to hit US/ATT market since 2007 onward.
I am not new to Xperia as I had x10, Neo V, Ray and TL. I know how to use flash tool and know my way around with my trusty Root Explorer.
I recently bought Z1 6906 - It was originally Bell Canada but I am using it on AT&T.
Phone runs JB 4.2.2 - build 14.1.G.1.158.
I read lots of forums and all of them say something slightly different, depending on Z1 model and build.
All I need is simple set of instructions on how to end up with rooted Z1 6906 running android 4.4.2.
I read that you can root JB with VROOT but I am vary of Chinese superuser apps and stuff that they put on my phone during the root process.
I do not need bootloader unlocked as I do not plan flashing custom ROMs, Kernels etc... and all flashable tweaks can be applied via Root Explorer and some elbow grease.
So - what is least painful way to root and upgrade to KitKat and preserve root - keeping stock ROM.
I would like to have (preferably unbranded firmware) but I can live with Bell one and remove junk myself.
I appreciate all the help .
And please don't answer with "Search is your best friend" because I am fully aware of that - I post ONLY if I feel really stuck and need help

just look in the development section, there are plenty of threads explain how to do this. Or there is a method in my signature, its slightly outdated (By about a week) there are quicker methods now, they are easy to search for.
