When downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, you need to wipe all data or it won't work. Why do you need the 'Generic US' firmware anyway? Does it contain any special features which you need and which are not available in 'Generic TW'? It's the worst customization when it comes to updates..

it doesn't have any special features, i don't knowt what in Generic TW firmware have. I just worry that if i flash other region firmware i won't get update over the air later. and i think the original firmware is good for me.

Today, Generic US has been updated to 10.3.A.0.423. You don't need an FTF to flash this firmware. Just follow this guide to change your customization number to 1271-0119 and install the update with Sony PC Companion: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

LTE firmware is for C6603. The C6602 contains different hardware and has no LTE support. If you flash firmware for the wrong device, you might get connectivity problems and you will no longer receive any software updates from Sony (because they check the first 8 digits of your IMEI number, which is different for C6602 and C6603).

I just updated to 10.3.A.0.423 last night using a FTF I made from PC Companion. Posted here in case anyone needs it

Just noticed that using C6603 firmware for my C6602 phone wasn't a very good idea.... Sony PC Companion doesn't allow me to update it.
After I reflash the C6602 version of firmware, will I be able to automatically update my phone using Sony PC Companion? My phone is a C6602 bought in China but the Chinese firmware has been flashed out of the device.

same issue i have a C6602 with C6603 rom on it

Were you able to get the phone back to stock? Also is there not a way of flashing the ROM without using the PC and ftf.
I prefer flashing from the phone on CWM because I'm lazy, Is that not an option for installing a stock rom for this phone?

If you find a flashable zip with stock rom, you can flash stock.
But if you have your booloader locked, chances are you lose your root, recovery and go back to barbone kernel.

thanks for the info. Im not 100% knowing if the bootloader is locked or not. I just assumed its unlocked because the phonr is rooted and i'm running AOKP on it. i guess the main reson i want ti know is because i know its not the correct rom for this phone. it works fine but it should be the one that should be for the phone. not c6603 when the phone is a c6602. would you happen to know the link for a cwm flashable rom version of c6602?

[Q] Backup my current firmware

Hi guys, i have already searched on Google and here in the forum and found many guides for saving firmwares but not the real solution to my problem so hope you can help me
I am on stock ics 7.0.A.1.303 on my brand new xperia T and would like to update it to jb soon but before to do that I would like to backup my CURRENT running firmware just in case..
All the guides i found requires to update to the latest firmware available with pc companion or the other sw and then generate the ftf firmware starting from the downloaded files.. the problem is that I want to backup my current firmware not the newer one I will download!
Is that possible? Any chance?
Byte and thanks in advance

Either root, install recovery and make a backup or search for a ftf with your currant firmware version in the all in one thread from the question and answer section
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Thanks my friend. I did read your all in one guide: that's simply great there i found all the info i will need for rooting, installing cwm and then be able to install custom roms.. I plan to install CM soon
Btw about the ftf's i saw them also, but i see there are many customizations of the same ftf so to avoid problems I wanted to save my own
The problem is that I'm in Italy + i have a no brand phone and I'm not sure if my ftf is in that list.. maybe my current ftf is the General ics central Europe one?
Bye and thanks again

Yes, you can use that one
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Thanks! Just last question: if I well understood reading around here, the firmware ftf's don't include the kernel also, so if after updating to jb I would like to go back to ics i should flash the kernel separately right? If so, can i flash "[Kernel] Stock Kernel taken from Xperia T [LT30p] 7.0.A.1.303 [Vodafone UK]" I found in your guide even if it says vodafone uk? I guess so as it is "just" a kernel but just to be sure.. Thanks again!

That will be fine, but the ftf's do include the stock kernel, so don't worry.

Help: UK Based FTF (244)

Hi
I was hoping someone could help. This is driving me absolutely crazy.
I am currently running Cyanogenmod so Sony Mobile Update Server and Sony Mobile Companion completely refuse to play ball what so ever. They do not even attempt to connect out to their servers.
I really want one of the following FTF files:
Code:
O2 Pay monthly UK 1270-4993 10.3.1.A.0.244 R9B 10.3.A.0.423 R8B
United Kingdom Vodafone UK 1270-9110 10.3.1.A.0.244 R7B 10.3.A.0.423 R7B
This is just so I can update the baseband and NFC firmware
Tried googling for 2 hours and found nothing except German and Dutch FTFs.
Any help would be really appreciated....
Thanks

Just use any of the generic unbranded 244 FTF files posted in this section. All of the firmware versions have the same system files, baseband etc. no matter which region they are from.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

If no one has a link to either of these I will flash my phone to stock, re-load bootloader and then run the upgrade, capture the FTF, re-unlock bootloader and then apply FTF then latest Cyanogenmod...
I will also post my FTF in General section.
But if someone has already done this it would save me a very late night

Ah ok... fair enough. Well its mainly just the BB and NFC firmware I'm after anyway.
Out of interest, what is the difference between the different regions??

Mainly just different bundled apps, I believe. All of the core system components, the kernel, baseband etc are the same for all releases of 244.

How can I change my baseband to the latest?

At the moment I am running Monkx essential rom.
I would like to change my baseband to the one from the 2.67 update because my network reception is poor.
Everything else I would like to keep
Can anybody help me to get the latest baseband from the NL version of 2.67 and how to change it?
Thxs in advance

You know you can flash any baseband as long as it's from the same model. I flashed the Hong Kong one and it's working fine in the UK

I tried with flashtool,it flashes but baseband keeps unchanged.
What should I flash with it??
Is it maybe related to which kernel I use?

This is the kernel and baseband from .67 flash it with flashtool but exclude the kernel if don't want to change it.

Follow part A of this guide. Download any software customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool and change your customisation version to 1270-6188.
Then connect your phone to your PC and the update should be available.
Note : It will be the generic CH (Swiss) version you receive, but the software does not vary from region to region anyway, only included apps.

The Firmware is always the same, so there are no differences or something.

If you flash a branded firmware you will get some more apps which you probably don't need. So if you flash one, flash a generic firmware

You can download with changing the customization number your old firmware(that method which kingvortex posted). There are 2 links, 1 with customization numbers and the other is this what kingvortex give you. Give a look on it.

If you root your phone and install the Recovery, you can make a Nand backup. This is a Backup of the full system.
You loose warranty if you unlock your bootloader. But here you flash just an other original SONY firmware, for this you don't need to unlock your bootloader and that means you won't loose warranty.
