It doesn't matter which version you downgrade to
Just exclude baseband
And if you are doing it to root it makes no difference at all

I`m sorry that i upload the f/w on Russian host server, forgot about that there`s all in Russian, but i think you`ll find out how to download, just enter the verification code and then the link will be availible for you.
Can anybody supply a mirror. Because of rusfolder not working for foreign countries.

Download is fine from Spain. BTW, it's incredible how our instinct to determine the correct download link (not the spam one) works even in russian
Mirror by myself after 3 days with Russian proxy.

Hey guys, I'm pretty dumb about the installing new software and other things similar to this so here is my deal. Today I got my Z1 back from warranty but it is still on 4.3 phone is branded by ORANGE PL. I've downloaded C6903 14.3.A.0.681 Global 1277-2880_R5C version of software, and there we go I need help with flashing it without any issue.
Questions:
- Should I make a backup of software am using now?
- I've got flashtool 0.9.14.0 version, is that good one?
- Will global software fit my phone, or I have to download branded version?
- How do I set up flashtool to update my phone photo below, what do I exclude/wipe (got nothing important on my device)/etc

I want to go back to an old rootable firmware so I can back up its TA partition before unlocking its bootloader. My question is, can I just flash any .257 firmware(regardless of customization number)? Like the one in here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42255153&postcount=3
Or can anybody link me to the same Singapore customization as mine, the old rootable firmware.
Thanks all in advance.

bootbundle ,partition , kernel , fota , etc
It depends what you want to do
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Basically it excludes flashing anything you select. In other words, it doesn't flash what you choose. If you still don't get it, just look up the word 'exclude' in a dictionary or translator
Sent from my Xperia Z1 using Tapatalk
If you flashing Stock FTF do not touch anything and leave it in default. BTW, do not exclude anything! still don't understand why on that picture everything is excluded.
Exclude TA always do that. Beside they are planty of guides out the development and general section if your not sure have a look.
yup owns Xperia Z1
Current Rom : CM11 with cwm as kernel
Bootloader: Unlocked
Also if I've helped you don't forget to hit THANKS - actions speak louder that words.

If youre flashing an FTF for the purpose of flashing a rom then you would usually flash the rom via recovery and then skip over to flash mode and using flash tool, select the required FTF and deselect System and TA, you also wouldn't want to wipe either.
But as gregs said it depends, if you were wanting to just flash an FTF, you would wipe and deselect nothing.

Yes, i just re-flash 4.2.2 then ROOT+CWM & flash eXistenZ v7.0.0 ROM by niaboc79.
I have one more question. After flashing that ROM i get update center notification of Kitkat, is it works if i download it & update my phone. Because i'm a little bit confuse about it & also update size is only 310MB.
Thanks
