I want to go back to an old rootable firmware so I can back up its TA partition before unlocking its bootloader. My question is, can I just flash any .257 firmware(regardless of customization number)? Like the one in here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42255153&postcount=3
Or can anybody link me to the same Singapore customization as mine, the old rootable firmware.
Thanks all in advance.

you can flash any 4.1.2 ftf for your C5303,then root it & flash recovery
then backup TA & unlock bootloader

Thanks.
But I've read some had issues on battery gauge acting abnormal after firmware downgrade, is this a wide issue?

I`m sorry that i upload the f/w on Russian host server, forgot about that there`s all in Russian, but i think you`ll find out how to download, just enter the verification code and then the link will be availible for you.
Can anybody supply a mirror. Because of rusfolder not working for foreign countries.

Download is fine from Spain. BTW, it's incredible how our instinct to determine the correct download link (not the spam one) works even in russian
Mirror by myself after 3 days with Russian proxy.

It doesn't matter which version you downgrade to
Just exclude baseband
And if you are doing it to root it makes no difference at all

Once you have root you can uninstall all Vodafone apps and bloatware.
First we had plenty threads abt when 4.3 /4.4 or wisdom 1.0 would be coming to da world. Then we have even more threads abt 4.3 being here. Now we are going to top it up with 153 x asking in new threads abt the same question regarding rooting 4.3. :good:

Hey guys, I'm pretty dumb about the installing new software and other things similar to this so here is my deal. Today I got my Z1 back from warranty but it is still on 4.3 phone is branded by ORANGE PL. I've downloaded C6903 14.3.A.0.681 Global 1277-2880_R5C version of software, and there we go I need help with flashing it without any issue.
Questions:
- Should I make a backup of software am using now?
- I've got flashtool 0.9.14.0 version, is that good one?
- Will global software fit my phone, or I have to download branded version?
- How do I set up flashtool to update my phone photo below, what do I exclude/wipe (got nothing important on my device)/etc

If you want follow this guide.http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...eria/This-is-how-to-create-an-FTF/td-p/228703 but it is not essential. Backup your apps etc with sony or googles tool

Yes, but the latest one in 0.9.15.0, better to use that one

Use kamometoolv6a_kitkat tool to deodex your rom. download it from Cross Device Development Projects for Sony Devices section. run the bat file.
pull the files from your device, deodex it then make a zip and flash it. done!
