How to create FTF from Xperia Z - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All,
I have heard that the decryption has changed and the process of creating FTF is different.
Can someone put some light on it and also "how to" - would appreciate

First you need the new(beta) and old flashtools.
Decrypt the 2 files that you took from sony update service with the new flashtool.
Copy from the devices folder(FTBeta) "C660x" to the old Flashtool devices folder.
Use the old flashtool to create a bundle by indicating where the decrypted files.
Sorry for my bad English.

I think it's the same way isn't it?

It's the same but flashtool beta cannot create a bundle that's why.

Update to 10.A1.434 failed

Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?
Thanks for your help
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yes try pc companion or update service.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Thanks! Only tried the OTA update since I'm not at home.
Will give the pc companion a try later.

Sorry, I'm new to all this android flashing since this is my first Android device (came from ios)
If I download a 434 FTF and flash it, will I lose all my apps and app data?
And can I flash in recovery, or can FTF files only be flashed using flashtool?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.
Awesome! Thanks for the swift replies guys. Will give it another try on updating later :thumbup:

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

Here in this thread is the NL ftf file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
It`s not so hard to find.
Flash with flashtool.
If you have done, please tell me if you have the same nfc update issue as I have.

Yes you can just flash with flashtool to downgrade and if you dont wipe anything,
your phone will be as before just with .434.
But for me the downgrade ended in a NFC update problem that causes the phone to reboot the whole time!
Therefore I am stuck at .253 without root!

To find things requires you to actually search, if you're too lazy to do that then read the stickys where you'll usually find them, but if you're too lazy to even do that, wait for a spoon feeder to come along and help, as they have done.

Yes, but no bootloop. Boot was fine, but then the nfc update comes and ends in a reboot.

No. .434 didn't work at all for me, because you can't do anything because of the reboots at startup.
Therefore I flashed . 253 again but without root, because it's unable at the moment.

None, I thought the biggest issue was the icon not showing which I'm not fussed about. Did you do a clean install or save your data?

Does flashing firmwares void warranty? Also does it have any effect on lets say the emic or flash storage on the phone? And lastly, isn't that 14.1.G.534 a prototype/journalist firmware?

You wont lose warranty by flashing firmwares,and no it wont affect the storage soon.
I don't know if .543 is for prototype,i don't have the phone yet.
