Update your baseband and kernel to 4.2.2 and download mobile data settings.

Hi,
Wondered if someone could be so kind to please upload a Vodafone UK ftf file for either .350 or preferably .434? Been trying to downgrade rooted .253 back to .434 and ended up in boot loop when updating NFC.
Previously took a ftf backup of .434 but boot loops each time when using Flashtool.
Got phone working again by using SUS, and now on on .253 without root. Wish to root again.
I know I could use an unbranded ftf file but prefer to keep Vodafone branding.
Cheers
I want that 2

To stop that bootloop you HAVE to wipe data when downgrading with flashtool.

I had successfully upgraded to Android 4.2.2 using PC Companion. I decided to install CM10.1. So I backed up my TA Partition, unlocked the bootloader and installed CM10.1. It was running fine but I noticed that my phone cannot connect to my network. Baseband is shown as unknown and there is no IMEI. So I reverted back to .307 TW version and relocked the bootloader. Now when I upgrade to 4.2.2 version, my phone boots and after few seconds it tells me that system has stopped responding and if I want to wait or reboot the system. No matter what I select my phone reboots. This keeps on happening. I've now reverted back to .307 version. Please help!!!!
Do a repair with Update Service, that nearly always fixes things

It happened to me as well, SUS won't help. Follow this steps and u shud get ur dead device back to life.
1. Flash .307 TW ftf (wipe everything) (Indian ftf recommended for u)
2. Root it using Doom's tool kit (connect it to flashtool to get device busybox n bla bla)
3. Download ta partition tool v8.0 (this version worked for me, i tried all from v9.3 to v8.0) (Ver 8.0 asks for IMEI no. used to unlock, keep ur IMEI no. (15 digits) handy
4. If ta restore is successful and still u don't get ur baseband back, do this: Flash .307 EXCLUDE PARTITION
5. Reboot and u shud get ur IMEI, Baseband and ur XZ back
try it...
PM me if u need any help.
Good Luck!

It didn't in my case. I upgraded my phone from .434 (Indian) to .423 using PC Companion. The phone reboots every time.
Just to be sure, please give Update Service a try:

It's a lot more robust than PC Companion.
Yes right, or else just flash with flashtool...

Without rooting or flashing is impossible. You have to access to system to delete it.

After deleting the screen you will get a blanc black screen after sony logo or you can replace it with something else but actually I don't know if it's that easy to do.
If you are on 4.2 you can flash a unbranded FTF Android 4.3 update without unlocking bootloader or rooting and probably you will lose the screen after sony logo.

If I wait for official 4.3 Will t-Mobile logo disappear? He wont right? So in second opinion I Just need to connect usb and flash ftf? No root, unlocking bl needed!? Is ftf a ROM or Just some kind of update? / Will I lose waranty?

No, official 4.3 (290) for you will still have the T-Mobile boot animation. You will need to flash a generic 290 FTF. Because you are flashing a stock FTF, it is not necessary to unlock BL or root.
I don't think you should lose warranty, but if you take it back into T-Mobile they'll probably wonder why all the T-Mobile stuff is missing.

You will lose Warranty if you Unlock Bootloader Only. You will not lose your Warranty if you will root your phone or deleting T-Mobile bloatware.
Yes, Official FTF in your case will have the T-Mo logo and all the t-mo bloatware.
The solution if to flash a Unbranded Generic TFT .290, it's a full rom 4.3, and flash it via Flashtool v0.9.13. To do that you don't need root or unlocked bootlader.
Doing this you will not have T-Mo logo and bloatware but you will lose all the data on your phone because is raccomended a fresh installation with wipe Data, Cache and Appslog.
You can still not losing your data if you uncheck Wipe Data but is not recommended.
I brought the phone in Poland and I flashed a generic NCB FTF .290 and is working flawlessly in all europe.
All what you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Good luck.
There are apps to change the boot animation but requires root, go to pay store and search "change bout animation" and select the app you want.
Don't forget that it requires root.

Yes, like the instructions. I give you few tips: backup all what you need to SD, switch off your phone and keep pressing volume down and connect to pc via usb, keep pushing the volume down all the time when do this, let windows install the drivers and when your phone will be connected in Flashmode open the Flashtool, select the firmware (put the firmware in the flashtool folder) leave the flashtool in default and flash the FTF, remember to keep pushing volume down all the time, when the green bar of the progress will start you can leave your phone alone.
All the FTF XXX.X.A.0.290 in the list are Android 4.3, download Central Europe if you are there and flash. You can use also NCB.

No, that mean there is some very small differences in customization and R2B actually is the newest one. Nothing what will influence the functionality of your phone just update with the Unbranded one.

Not yet and no guarantee it will be. BTW, this Kitkat at the moment is not a big deal. Have a lot of issues. Stay with 4.3 for now. It's just an advice.
Hello. I just tried to update downloading via wifi. It downloads successfully, but later on restart and attempt to install this update, process fails and phone restarts back to previous 4.4.2. http://i.imgur.com/GoJrjqu.png
Phone is not rooted, I have never done anything to it what could cause this, just regular updates.
Message says "Could not install new software version. Try again." - http://i.imgur.com/3terGra.jpg
Have anybody had this issue, contacted Sony support or something?

hi guys,
im in need of the .ftf for my c6606. i have searched everywhere and cant find a damn thing for the 10.5.a.1.283 firmware. before my phone officially got the update for KK i decided to flash the customized firmware and it changed my phone to c6616. when trying to restore my phone it says that there is no firmware to download in pc companion. the reason i want to start fresh is my phone has issues with mobile data sometimes and even on wifi, data just wont load.
thanks guys
Follow part 2 of my guide to package your own FTF using Flashtool. Just make sure your installed version of Flashtool is up to date.
Once you've done it, you can share it in the general section to help others looking for it.

Thanks for the reply. I want to flash the baseband that is for the c6606. By doing it that way would there be any issues? Or should I just root the phone and change things in the build prop so that it says it's a c6606 and hopefully it will update that way

Just try what he said,i did that yesterday and all went well,just see if you do it right!
So after trying a few firmwares I had issues with phone kept restarting. So I wiped everything and flashed back to the available c6606 firmware and got ota for 4.3 after that. Now that I'm on 4.3 it says I'm on the most up to date fw in PC companion and on phone. Sony website says most up to date is the .283 KitKat fw. Any reason why I can't update?
