Then you need to create your own tft(you don't want but there is no other way) or wait doomlord to release an exploit

If you share your ftf I can create a Pre rooted one for you. Will take a few hours tho.. I have more to do

Both PCC and SEUS now points to the same folder/files for updating, so either way is fine

I will test it with my Xperia T (Locked BootLoader).
Try flashing without wiping data, set local prop to insecure first and hopefully you'll be able to reroot with the emulator hack.

Odin is for Samsung phones.. FlashTool is for Xperia. But, if you flash via FlashTool, yes you will lose root and apps.

You have to first use flashtool to flash it.
Once you've flashed it with one of the generic firmware for C6603 or C6602 depending on your model, you will be able to boot into the stock firmware for android.
You'll then have to root it using goroh's root exploit and then flash either cwm or twrp again. For cwm and twrp, if you have a locked bootloader, you have to use the locked bootloader versions instead.
After that, you can then proceed to flash the rom of your preference again but before that, i suggest doing a nandroid backup.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

The update is only for c5302 Sp models.... If you update your c5303 modern with .284 you will lose 4g connectivity but not much else.

To enter flash mode it is press and hold vol down then connect to PC.
A little hint after installing drivers etc, click the lightning button select flashmode,choose file,then wait.... Flashtools will then show you a PIC of when to connect phone in flash mode
