Hi
Will my phone update from. 569 to 10.4.1.B.0.101 MTN South Africa with the boot loader unlocked? I don't want to waste 800 megs of data if it won't work.
TIA.

No, you should download the ftf file and flash it via flashtool
Thanks StJimmy will do that now I just got to find the right. ftf file for MTN SA.

You're welcome. You can use any ftf file as long as it is for your phone (eg. C6603)
And what about custimisation numbers?

What about it? Flashing a different rom will change the customisation number. What's your point?

Hi again,
Does the flashtool give me an option to leave the customisation number out or how do I do this?
TIA

Don't worry about it. If you flash a different regions rom, your customisation number will change.
That has no functional effect on your phone whatsoever and it's not something that can be excluded from the flash as it's just a value in build.prop.

OK cool thanks Guv.

Don't be. The customisation number is part of the rom. Just don't concern yourself with it. As long as you flash a FTF for your specific model, then you'll be fine.

I thought that the custimisation number was region specefict and thought that the netherlands had a different setting or something then the brasilian one for example

It is, but it doesn't matter. When you flash a different rom, the customisation number will change.
It's mainly used when checking for updates via the PCC or OTA, so you will receive updates for the current customisation version of your phone. As the OP has unlocked their bootloader, they cannot receive updates via those methods anyway.

You are on a GLOBAL version then, your firmware isnt limited to your country even though we are hundreds or thousands of miles apart mine it the same as yours. so you dont really need to change your firmware to receive more

If you cross flash your phone (e.g. flashing C6603 firmware to a C6606 phone), it is no longer possible to update or restore your firmware through any of the official ways (Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service / Sony Bridge for Mac / OTA), because your TAC (Type Approval Code = first 8 digits of IMEI) doesn't match anymore. C6603 TAC is 35576205 and C6606 TAC is 35676805.

What? U can flash ftf C6603 to a C6606 that is no problem. U need flashtool then u also can root it doomlord easy root and u can even install a dual recovery even with locked bootloader. U just can't flash some costum roms CM based ones with an looked bootloader. Other then that it really doesn't matter. Just make sure the rom says looked bootloader when flashing.

Yeah well yeah he shouldn't flash a C6602 rom because then he loses the option to select lte.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The first thing to say would have been that the bootloader on a C6606 cannot be unlocked anyway.
You should also have advised the OP to exclude the baseband during flashing of a C6603 ftf to a C6606 as flashing the baseband would apparently cause loss of LTE.
Edit : Apparently, it is safe to flash other basebands. Just going off what other people that actually have the phone were saying initially. I stand corrected on that one.
Or just link to one of the threads where this has already been discussed, like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372664 instead of going over the same ground again.

It will be months till tmobile gets it,they only released it a week or two ago, who knows they may skip it to 4.3 but there's no way if they were gonna update this fast they would have released with it,just flash it through the flashtool root not needed
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
I was hesitated about flashing and rooting my Z, but I just did everything and I am running 4.2.2 and rooted with my t-mobile Z. You can search hear to see how to flash and root.
Root is quite easy. Change some settings on your phone, plug, click and ready to be rooted. Flashing is bit more work to be done but they are also easy such as install drivers for your Z in flash mode (like DFU mode in iOS) to make Flash software to work.

I have the Tmobile 6606 and I tried flashing both German and French 422 updates and couldn't get lte to work no mater which way I flashed with or without baseband and the exact apn settings with lte preferred click. Just won't work for me.
Flashing stock firmwares on this phone is not much different than doing the same on Samsung and HTC phones. A few things to download and that's it. If you've ever used Odin with a Samsung phone before, it's a very simaler process.

1. Not everyone have access to Emma
