Hi!!! I just bought my C5306, but I already saw that everything is just made for C5302 and C5303. So the question above is because of that, as 3 and 6 are LTE models (obviously differs on basebands). There is room for a brick (soft or hard)??? I'm asking because I want to flash, root and install a lot of stuff and that is an obstacle.
I clarify: If it is a matter just of basebands I don't worry to lose 4g because I never use this.
I don't know but this thread might answer some questions.

[Q] Does the resources work on C5306?

Its just basebands, c5303 includes basebands of both 2 and 3 but with lte. So nothing happens really.
Happy flashing

.I want root my XZ with any app (without pc). Please help.
not possible
C6603 ?
I think it would be possible, if you ask me, but you would have to execute all the commands from your phone, by hand.
Very risky though. If you make a mistake you could brick your phone and have to reflash using a pc.
Not recommended!!
Also you would need some knowledge about how android works, before you try anything.
Just use a pc. That's a lot safer and way easier

Actually you need a PC anyway, actual rooting method implies downgrading the kernel, rooting, and upgrading the kernel. You need a PC to down/upgrade the kernel.
Well, you're right, in the case of newest firmware. Older firmware doesn't an need old kernel, so it would be possible.
But for .67 firmware, yes you really need a pc.
Didn't consider that since I'm on unlocked bootloader, so don't need difficult rooting processes

Well, you need a PC to unlock the bootloader and flash rooted kernels, and actually the last two firmwares need kernel downgrading on locked bootloaders, .244 and .67. Sorry i'm just beeing picky
Ask me how do it.If it will easy for me I do it.
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
Well he only wants root, so unlocked bootloader isn't the subject here, neither are the rooted kernels.
I thought 244 was rootable without kernel flash, but i believe you in that..

Hi there... does anyone have the c5306 customization numbers or knows if the c5603 ones work with the c5606?
I have read/search through the forum but i havent been able to find the answer to my 2 questions.
I stumped into this post and hence my 2nd question.
All i want to do is flash the 12.0.A.2.254 kernel on my SP via the build.prop + Companion method, so if anyone has a better way or suggestion i'll be happy to read it, thx
(already rooted my SP)
Oh cmon guys, anyone? Or perhaps an advice in how to get my phone updated if there's no firmware updates available in my country?
Sent from my C5306 using xda app-developers app

my phone is UNBRADED, I live in Mexico and I use o2's firmware...no problems
Sweet, wth i'll try right now... Thx for answering dude

So, turns out c5603 firmware DOES work with the c5606, LTE working and all, I haven't seen anything wrong (besides the obvious wrong model showing on the phone info) so far.
Flashed the Deutschland LTE ftf via flashtool.

I recently got the XPERIA SP(C5303) and I've been wondering whether I should root it or not.
From the information I've gathered currently, I can see a lot of people are having issues.
My main question is..
Is it worth rooting?
What are the pro's and con's of rooting this specific device (Xperia Sp)?
For example, will rooting disable the offline charging features?
What other aspect of the phone will be unavailable if I root..?
I really want to root but these problems are holding me back.
Can anyone reassure me?
Thank you very much.:good:

Despite the issues some uses face I would say rooting has more in favour for than against.
Before rooting you can use flashtools to backup your ROM into a ftf file so you can use of you don't like it.

i dont see why not ROOT such a great piece of hardware...
I didnt know of any offline charging problems but from my experience ROOTed >>unRooted in every aspect.
And its really easy too if you dont undate to .254 version, just connect cable and use doomlords kit.
I have rooted and unlocked bootloader and everything works fine so dont be afraid and ROOT! :good:

repair with SEUS or PC compagnon
I have rooted my SP about 10 times give or take
The last 3 days i kept changing and trying roms and flashing kernels(i relocked and unlocked my bootloader 2 times) (most used program in my PC was flashtool )
But thats just extreme so i slowed down. Overall as zolaisugly said rooting helps you and dont mind about the small bugs that can be repaired easily
Also to make your decision easier you can use these apps : Titanium Backup , Greenify , Light Flow (helped me a lot) , Folder Mount , Link 2 SD !!!!
It just worth it !!!!
so i have a xperia sp with stock rom.id like to know what all problems can be caused by rooting the phone.and after rooting the phone,will the LED light strip stop working?

No ofcourse not (; don't worry. Nothing will be disabled, and for the offline charging bug, just make your own ftf from a repair with SEUS and you'll flash a bug free kernel when done rooting .254

Mere rooting of the phone does NOT give problems.
Unfortunately, with the advent of 4.3, "mere' rooting is not possible unless you install pre-rooted "custom" roms.
A few roms are simply "re-engineered" stock to allow root and recoveries - these give the least problems.
Other roms are modified, and thus have more chances of problems.
I installed this "near stock" rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 and had no problem
Because I wanted more than stock, I am now on this (the longest I have been on one rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658043
If you have your own stock in hand, try the above roms. If you encounter problems, it is easy to re-flash your stock.
Your greatest challenge would be to downgrade to 4.1.2 to root before you can install these roms.

It should work in Europe at least. I think there is not much difference between firmware from different regions / carriers beside the bloatware.
And generally when you flash a firmware, unless you have limited internet connexion to download firmware, you don't risk anything. If there is a network incompatibility you can always flash a new one. And in the worst case ( that can happen ) if your phone don't boot anymore, you can also just try another one

Hello fellow XDA members.
I have been reading and searching thoroughly the forums for the past weeks and I haven't been able to find a stock ftf file for Z(C6602).
I am trying to downgrade to 4.2.2(.67) for rooting purposes and to backup the TA, then to unlock the bootloader. I bought the phone during autumn last year, from Sony USA as an unlocked phone. I currently am running kitkat(10.5.A.0.230). Also, I am currently living in Romania and using Vodafone as a carrier.
I'm in need of a stock ftf file running 4.2.2 , right for my region. I couldn't find one that suits my needs. If anyone could find one and point me at it, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
You can use any 67 FTF that's for the C6602. It doesn't have to be one specifically for your region/carrier.
Edit - Here's a US 67 rom.
