I changed my SI with buildprop editor so i can install the newest 2.254 firmware, then installed niaboc79 eXistenz. Can i just restore the buildprop backup that the editor made, hook the phone with pc and repair with sony software in order to get back to 1.257? Or it will brick?
Noone knows?
As i understand you just wanna go back to stock rom so you just can install one of original .tft files and update it with sony updater or just run updater and you should get latest stock firmware.
Just change the SI number in niaboc79 eXistenz rom with buildprop editor then repair ur phone with sony software

Yes. But you probably won't go back to 1.257 , you'll get the latest fw for the customization no that's in your build prop (not si number, that does nothing)
They broke my signature...
Yeah, previously I didn't have 2.254 for my SI, that's why i changed it. But now there is one and it downloaded it. Got my offline charging fixed
use the stock rom
download a stock rom for ur hardware,flash it in ur sp,not ok?

I recently updated my phone to 2.3.7, and now i want 4.04
But for that, 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware is required.
And after upgrating to 2.3.7, firmware is changed, and i've lost my previous backup, so i cant restore it.
Now how to i get my previous firmware ?
Please help
you don't need to change the firmware or move to stock version, you can upgrade to ICS if you have unlocked bootloader
Use Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service.
If you have never update your phone to 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 it's required to do that before flashing cm9.

Straight Answer
Simply get flashtool. Then the stock 2.1 firmware. Open flashtool. Then drag the firmware from desktop onto flashtool in the white space. A menu will pop up. Click ok. It will ask you to plug you x8 in flashmode. (instructions for this will pop up. When you do this the instructions will dissapear. Then it will flash the stock sony 2.1 and then reboot.
flashtool: Here
firmware: Here
Please click 'thank' if you appreciate my effort. Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for. For a simple fix just use pc companion as said before. But it takes longer.

please help me...!!!
Any advice/guide/help will be really appreciated..!!!!
At unlocking BL you modified your TA partition, so Bravia Engine 2 doesn't work anymore.
If you want to revert back to stock you need:
Flashtool(FT)
A .ftf File(FlashToolFile, this contains the whole System of the phone)
Some time(it will take up to an hour for everything set up correctly)
A Windoze Box
So you need to get your device in Flashmode, then flash the stock ftf with FT, and finally relock bootloader.
If you need more info, just ask

Hi, I'm currently in stock rooted .157 firmware with some mods installed (xposed)
i want to upgrade to .368 firmware without formating losing data on my phone and keep apps installed
maybe i'll need to re-root the phone and upgrade some modules to the lp version
any way to do this ? i really don't want to formate /data and reinstall all from the begining
any advice is welcomed
EDIT:
i want to upgrade with a stock rooted ftf file
most xposed mods for 157, which is kitkat, will not work after upgrading to lollipop, because framework is different. so, basically, you have no co chance for most of them. but for other android apps, you can use titanium back up
Ehm I'm pretty sure that there are no rooted ftf files
The rooted ones are zips and those are installed in recovery
Flashtool and ftf are used for flashing stock, therefore not rooted files
Unless your bootloader is unlocked. If it is you can flash custom kernel with recovery

No not possible a huge change from Dalvik to ART...............
I insist you to do a clean install otherwise you may encounter many bugs and errors.You can save your data through TiBu.

I have the Japanese Xperia Z4 - 402SO (Softbank). I wanted to debrand the phone, so I flashed with a generic USA Z3+ E6553 Marshmallow firmware. I used Flashtool and Xperifirm. The process went well, everything works, but I lost NFC, so I decided to flash back the stock firmware. After flashing the 402SO firmware, the phone boots up and a constant popup saying 'com.adroid.phone has stopped'. I can't even get to the home screen. I tried to repair using Xperia Companion, but I get an Error and fail to Restore. I can flash back to the E6553 firmware and I can use the phone again... but I would really like to revert to stock.
Any ideas on how to flash back to stock Japanese firmware? I would like to revert to stock in order to get the NFC working again.

Just try this: Reflash the Stock ROM and also tick the Cache & Data clear. First time, I also faced the same issue, after reflashing with cache & data clear, I got success.

I usually tick all the boxes under the Wipe section, to do a clean install. When you say Cache, do you mean to exclude the cache? the only area I see cache is under the Exclude section. I'm using Flashtool version 0.9.22.3

Not exclude, I mean check all wipe section. If you already tried with all wipe options checked, then no other suggestion from me.

Hi guys. I customized my Xperia Z C6602 quite a while ago now, may be 5 years ago. Screen broke at that time, and I bought another phone as I couldn't buy another screen. Now I've managed to get a new screen and replaced it, and I want to sell this phone, but it's still customized, and I don't remember like anything that I did. I want to go back to stock.
I was about to follow the [GUIDE] How to revert your phone from CM/AOSP/AOKP/PAC to STOCK, but I read it could be "overkill", and so I though it would be better to ask. Let me tell you what I have right now:
CyanogenMod Version: 12.1-20150803-UNOFFICIAL-yuga
Compilation Number: cm_yuga-userdebug 5.1.1 LMY48G 1fba35b830
Core Version: 3.4.0-cm-ge347aa9-00481-ge09347c

Xperia Compannion says it won't restore because it's unlocked bootloader. Emma doesn't recognize the phone (I think it only works for C6603, not C6602). I can't think of others "official" ways to go back. Should I follow the revert guide? Or what should I do?
Thanks you very much in advance!!
Using Flashtool then
I had fresh experience with going back to Stock.
Download and Install Flashtool.
Download Stock 4.4.4 ftf
Download Stock 5.1.1 ftf.
1.Put your phone in Flashmode(powered off;while connecting usb to pc,hold Vol Down button,it should flash Green light,also Flashtool should say 'Device connected in Flashmode')
2.Flash Stock 4.4.4 ftf(download ftf based on your region,or your phone original firmware).
3.Check if its bootup to 4.4.4
4.Now again put phone in flashmode
5.Flash stock 5.1.1. ftf
6.Done,you are on Stock now.
Now why to flash 4.4.4 first??
Reason-If you flash directly 5.1.1,the phone wont boot after bootlogo,just black screen.I don't know what causes it,but all have experienced it here.
So this the only way to get back to stock rom.
Link for Stock ftf you can find in the forum.Use the search function
4.4.4-10.5.1.A.0.283
5.1.1.-10.7.A.0.222/228
