Is is possible to convert xperia z normal to play edition by flashing an ftf?
We can get updates easily ryt.

Thats a good question,i guess you will need a custom recovery and bootloader unlocked because kernel and rom wont be of sony so i guess there wil not be a tft of a play edition but a zip

Well, being that FTFs are official software, where do you think you're going to find an FTF of software that doesn't exist?
There is no Xperia Z GPE, therefore there is no GPE software to flash to your phone.

custom roms are the way if ure interested in getting the google experience , unlikely to see a google edtion of the phone since its at least a year old but for z1ultra users this may be possible as there is a google edtion of the phone

I know a friend who is looking to buy a smartphone when he is in China, and I recommended the Xperia Z. Does anyone know if there are any hardware or software differences which would prevent Chinese Xperia Z variants from being flashed to the generic international stock firmware? He wants the Play Store et al, so if international firmware is flashed onto it, it should be fine, right? Thanks.
Right but flashing c6602 firmware.

All Chinese variants work with stock C6602 firmware, or is only the C6602 sold in China? That'll be great news for him
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

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.

What did you do to fix this?
how to get Vanila jelly bean with sony camera app & features on tmobile usa xperia z?
after having vanilla jelly bean on xperia arc s and then galaxy nexus i like the clean vanilla and the stock google experience.
how can i enjoy my xperia z on tmobile usa with a vanilla jelly bean and with the sony camera app and other sony features like xloud and bravia?
is it possible even on a locked bootloader? i have root and recovery but i prefer just vanilla not a custom rom with more features.
thanks for those able to make it come true [=
Unlock bootloader for vanilla and spent a lot of time on porting framework for Sony apps

You can't install vanilla Android, since it relies on a kernel other than stock.
For that you'll need to unlock your bootloader. And you can't do that on a carrier phone.
Yep can't be done on a locked bootloader as said above and there is no way now or ever to unlock the 6606 bootloader so for us t-mobile customers it's only stock based roms that have lb in the thread title

That i already knew but what about sony's official vanilla google experience? Will that also need an unlocked bootloader or will that be flashable like any other stock rom?
I just want the looks of vanilla completely with the jelly bean holo theme with the stock people app dialer email browser apps. Just keep the sony apk camera

Then you've bought the wrong version of the phone. Yes Sony aosp also needs an unlocked bootloader (custom kernel). The only way to get the stock look is skins.

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
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
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 )

You will need to have unlocked bootloader first before flashing any CM roms or 4.4.2 roms
To back to original firmware just flash the pre-rooted 4.3 ROM over here
There's many kind.
I prefer you to wait for official 4.4 update as will be available next month
