Xperia Z SO-02E

Guys, what do you think, will i be able to flash Japan version of Z by international version of f/w ?

If you're talking about official FTF firmwares then no. And if you're talking about flashable zips through recovery then yes(if you can unlock the bootloader).

No, i`m talking about official FTF. Do you really think that i couldn`t flash FTF from C6603 mobel to SO-02E phone ?

First of all, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader, even if you happened too, then you would need to flash the international version f/w followed by the docomo f/w else it would behave weird.
When you flash the international f/w, you must select only the kernel or system.img (only) and then you must exclude that component while flashing the docomo f/w. This is the way to get root on docomo phones, unless some hack or vulnerability discovered to root it..
Previously I had Xperia Acro S from Japan and this how I got root on it..

i know this is an old thread but just in case anyone is wondering - the answer is "yes" you can flash international .ftf files (C6603) to the SO-02E and it works fine. i know because i do it myself.

[Q] 4.2.2 showing as 4.1.2?

Hello XDA
I recently flashed the Australian 4.2.2 onto my Xperia Z (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280329) however I notice it is displaying "4.1.2" on my phone details instead of "4.2.2". Is it because the ROM I downloaded was 4.1.2? It also says that my firmware is up to date, yet displays 4.1.2.

Do you have the new lockscreen with the widgets?

I'm sorry, I don't actually know what the widgets screen actually looks like. Can you post a picture please?
I'm starting to feel that my version is in fact 4.1.2 after looking around for a while because it is .253, do Sony or other companies who make Android phones release firmware updates for Generic Unbranded firmware later than for phones with built in firmware from Vodafone etc?

if your firmware is .253 then you are definitely on 4.1.2.
The xda thread you linked to is also the same. So far only Optus has released 4.2.2 (which is .423)

You need to flash the FTF using the latest flashtool. Its v9.11 i believe.

you are most likely on the old fw which is 4.1.2.
Here is a tutorial on how to flash FTF files
if you have a model of C6603 Flash this ftf file [STOCK ROM][FTF] Xperia Z (C6603) v4.2.2 10.3.A.0.423 Generic ES (Unbranded/Spain)

I've got a C6602 model but I have installed C6603 firmware. Can I still update my phone without doing it manually?

connect your device to your computer and try using Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service. I have no clue will it work, but it should. If not then flash one of the FTF files above.

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.

Firmware
I tried much but failed to find kitkat or higher

You're on the latest available software for your device (C6606). It seems that T-Mo aren't interested in the C6606 any more and won't approve updates for it.
I've seen around the forum that some people have flashed the C6616 firmware to their C6606 with success. You could try that. I'm not sure if you would lose any T-Mo features like wifi calling though and it's obviously at your own risk. Nothing should go wrong though.
If you want to try, you can download and flash the latest C6616 firmware (10.6.A.0.454) by following my guide - How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format

Most people have found it better to do a clean flash when upgrading to Lollipop, so it's probably best to backup your apps and reinstall after flashing. Apart from that you shouldn't have problems if you follow my guide.

To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set.
