when i try to use the beta 6 it say "Cannot identify your device" and it ask me to input my model is I choose C660x and it make my phone ready to flash once I put it to flashmode. But no, once I put it to flashmode flashtool itself couldn't recognize my phone is in the state ready to flashing so it keep saying my phone need to put in to flashmode by press Vol.down while plug the USB.
so i downloaded an older version of flashtool , but do you think that trying an other firmware will fix this problem

[Q] can I flash a c6603 10.3.A.0.423.ftf firmware work to C6602 ?

can I flash a c6603 10.3.A.0.423.ftf firmware work to C6602 ?
I don't know about 423, but I'm on 253 and not having any problem using 6603 rom on my 6602, it show 6603 on my about phone, and on network mode also show lte option which obviously we don't have it
even I use custom rom based on 6603 rom, and it all work just fine
btw if you want 4.2.2 specialty built for 6602, there is one from taiwan generic unbranded rom, look for it on general xz sub forum

Yes i found it and i root the phone using doomlord rooting kit v15

I know for a fact that a 6602 ROM on 6603 causes the phone to become unstables. I noticed that the sim card was also not recognized.
I have been using C6603 firmware on my C6602 from 253 to 407 without any problem. Not sure about 423, but I don't think there should be any problem.

I flashed the C6603 Rom on my C6602 and my xz was stuck on a bootloop..then I flashed the .423 for C6602 by [NUT] and everything was fine..infact my battery life doubled..look at this pic below..it's 4.2.2 and .423..seriously very good battery life improvements..

Support for 2.245

Hi.
I have got my so rooted and unlocked and have wanted to put a custom ROM on.
But every single one says just support for 2.254 firmware not my 2.245 firmware.
Will it still work or would it brick

It not safe to cross flash it will probably bootloop..i would suggest u to flash 2.254..and get it rooted and custom recovery installed.
Happy flashing

Is that possible as 2.245 is my only available software to update too

2.245
Dear Freind
Roms like pureness 1 and Honamiutreized are strictly firmware specific that is why, i think those developers specifically state do not flash this over other firmware variants that will cause problems and this is because those developers have heavily modded the latest firmware to add more tweaks to give advanced user experience hence that ROM may not be compatible on older firmwares.
But probably you can find Custom Roms (Like Cleaned and Tweaked Rom, JBXSP Rom, Project AOSP Rom) based on 2.245, just go to respective threads and check, you will find that the most of the ROMs' version 2 or 3 should be based on 2.245 firmware.
Try and enjoy customs roms. :laugh:
No if you check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 you can find many FTF for 2.254 which can be flashed using Flashtool and have latest firmware and flash latest ROMs based on 2.254 without any problem.

Hey buddy,
Don't cross flash .254 FW over .245 FW.
Just use flashtool to flash the .254 FW. It is easy, and there are many guides to do it. Once you know how to use flashtool, your phone also automatically becomes unbrickable as you know how to flash back the stock FW even if you somehow softbricked your phone.
Also, don't post questions in the development section. This is for ROMs and Kernels and stuff, there's no place for questions here. Go to the Q&A section instead next time.
Happy flashing (ROMs and kernels, not anything else )

Thats all? Then i can receive the updates form Sony again an can i use Sony pc companion?
What do i with the kernel?
Stock firmware will flash stock kernel.
If you have to backup you can also lock bootloader.
And yes, after that you can install anything from PCC

I have a question related to this topic.
I had Doomlord`s custom kernel v21 with root and unlocked bootloader.
Im trying to revert back to stock rom and kernel via flashtool and generic nordic rom.
Flashing goes alright but after flashing when i try update my phone either OTA or trough pc companion they both failed.
pc companion says that i have modified sony and i guess it same with OTA update.
Should i do something also, because i thought flashing with stock rom should revert all but bootoader back to original.
Thanks in advance.
You cannot use OTA or Pccompanion with an unlocked bootloader,
You should flash the latest version FTF using flashtool
