Xperia Z SO-02E

Guys, what do you think, will i be able to flash Japan version of Z by international version of f/w ?

If you're talking about official FTF firmwares then no. And if you're talking about flashable zips through recovery then yes(if you can unlock the bootloader).

No, i`m talking about official FTF. Do you really think that i couldn`t flash FTF from C6603 mobel to SO-02E phone ?

First of all, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader, even if you happened too, then you would need to flash the international version f/w followed by the docomo f/w else it would behave weird.
When you flash the international f/w, you must select only the kernel or system.img (only) and then you must exclude that component while flashing the docomo f/w. This is the way to get root on docomo phones, unless some hack or vulnerability discovered to root it..
Previously I had Xperia Acro S from Japan and this how I got root on it..

i know this is an old thread but just in case anyone is wondering - the answer is "yes" you can flash international .ftf files (C6603) to the SO-02E and it works fine. i know because i do it myself.

When downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, you need to wipe all data or it won't work. Why do you need the 'Generic US' firmware anyway? Does it contain any special features which you need and which are not available in 'Generic TW'? It's the worst customization when it comes to updates..

it doesn't have any special features, i don't knowt what in Generic TW firmware have. I just worry that if i flash other region firmware i won't get update over the air later. and i think the original firmware is good for me.

Today, Generic US has been updated to 10.3.A.0.423. You don't need an FTF to flash this firmware. Just follow this guide to change your customization number to 1271-0119 and install the update with Sony PC Companion: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

LTE firmware is for C6603. The C6602 contains different hardware and has no LTE support. If you flash firmware for the wrong device, you might get connectivity problems and you will no longer receive any software updates from Sony (because they check the first 8 digits of your IMEI number, which is different for C6602 and C6603).

I just updated to 10.3.A.0.423 last night using a FTF I made from PC Companion. Posted here in case anyone needs it

Just noticed that using C6603 firmware for my C6602 phone wasn't a very good idea.... Sony PC Companion doesn't allow me to update it.
After I reflash the C6602 version of firmware, will I be able to automatically update my phone using Sony PC Companion? My phone is a C6602 bought in China but the Chinese firmware has been flashed out of the device.

same issue i have a C6602 with C6603 rom on it

Were you able to get the phone back to stock? Also is there not a way of flashing the ROM without using the PC and ftf.
I prefer flashing from the phone on CWM because I'm lazy, Is that not an option for installing a stock rom for this phone?

If you find a flashable zip with stock rom, you can flash stock.
But if you have your booloader locked, chances are you lose your root, recovery and go back to barbone kernel.

thanks for the info. Im not 100% knowing if the bootloader is locked or not. I just assumed its unlocked because the phonr is rooted and i'm running AOKP on it. i guess the main reson i want ti know is because i know its not the correct rom for this phone. it works fine but it should be the one that should be for the phone. not c6603 when the phone is a c6602. would you happen to know the link for a cwm flashable rom version of c6602?

[Q] Bell Xperia Z C6616

Hello
Just wondering if everyone on bell with an Xperia z (c6616) is still only on 4.1.2
or if i am just not getting any updates, i see a lot of others like C6603 getting updates, i assume it could just be taking some time in canada.
Thanks

You can flash any other region's 4.2.2 ftf with flashtool. The only difference really is the bands supported. If you really wanted to, you can not flash the radio and just flash the rom, as long as it's C6603

Any tips on how to do this? I've been hesitant to falsh the C6603 rom because I didn't want to screw up the bands.

You can uncheck what you don't want flashed (modem I think it was... or was it baseband? Can't remember, but check the stickies for flashing info)

Firmware 4.3 for Xperia TL Lt30at?

Hi guys, I in Vietnam and I have a Xperia TL Lt30at, I bought it from a store in my country, now I want to upgrade firmware 4.3 for my phone. But I don't know what firmware for it, as I search, that just has firmware 4.3 for Xperia T/TX. I just wondering my phone can read my sim, can use gsm and 3G in my country, so is that unlocked? If it was unlocked, can I use it as every Xperia T (Lt30p) other and up every firmware as Lt30p?
Sorry for my bad english

Hello. I am also using Xperia TL. I can answer your questions :
1) TL can use any rom of Xperia T, not TX made for looked bootloader.
2) You can test your phone with Vietnamese mobile network. If it doesn't run, you should ask your seller to unlock network for you.

I sure that, because i have tried it. I'm using Ultimate PureXT v2.1 of DaRk-L0rD and it run properly, except general bug of xperia T

Had you used search before posting, you would have found my guide on upgrading LT30at to 4.3. LT30p and LT30a/t are the same devices. The only difference is that that a devices have LTE radios in them. Since you use only 3G network, you don't need to worry about basebands.

PureXT is based on stock. Sony no longer upgrades software for its at&t devices, so you have to use stock-based custom ROMs if you want to be up to date.

So if I just use 3G network, I can flash firmware via flashtool normally? But can you help me to know which firmware can flash from the list in above ?

Let me get this right:
- you own LT30at: Xperia TL with USA at&t branding, not Rogers from Canada, which is LT30a
- you live in Viet Nam and you don't have 4G/LTE network where you live
- you want to upgrade the firmware to 4.3 and keep all native Sony features
All you have to do is follow my guide. There is no 4.3 coming for LT30at via Sony Update Service.
"ROM cook" stuff doesn't mess up your device because it's basically the stock ROM with some APKs added/changed. I don't know why you worry about losing at&t branding - it's absolutely useless to you since you aren't in the USA.
Moreover, flashing using the flashtool, you will lose all of your apps, settings, and root access. If you are fine with that, then do go ahead and pick any TFT firmware for T or TL from the list and then flash it.

There are millions of tutorials here...
You have to downgrade to 534 firmware, root it and flash NUT ROM and stripped ftf (or any other stock based ROM)
Latest firmwares can't be rooted directly, that's wht you have to be on "current rooted" firmware
