Im confused. we use pcc for updating, file managing, for backup, etc. my phone bought from Kuwait that was stock middle east version rom installed. a month ago while I was using a ram cleaner app my phone is hanged badly that was not recoverable. then I flashed a ftf file of 4.3 .266(dont know which country version). but after that my phone is laggy. now I want to move back original middle east version. thats why i want to download and manually flash middle east version of .201. I think its not possible by pcc, is it?
Possible. But your software customisation no. should be one of ME version in your phone (build.prop). But since you've flashed another ftf, it might have changed. So, you have to change to your original cust. no. in build prop ([highlight]need root for that[/highlight]) and then connect with PCC. It will download your original FW. Obviously you have forgotten that number.. so, have to find it out using your SI (sales item) no. [remove back cover and see/ or on the box]. Then go to following appropriate link for your phone model and do a "find in page" with your SI no. You may get several entries. In that you can find your orig. cust. no.

Yes this is no problem, all Android Firmwares are multilingual, even the Software will automatically change the language to the SIM language So no worry you can even install arabic firmware and you will get DUTCH automatically when yours SIM is dutch

This is not the place for questions like this, but in brief the answer is that it's your choice. If you want system access you need root, if you don't need root then 195 is the latest fw therefore probably better..

You can root the AT&T FW and remove bloatware if you want without issue. As for the two you listed if you flash them you will lose LTE unless you exclude the baseband when flashing. The first one you will be able to root using Bin4ry's method the second one you will not be able to root at all since you have a locked bootloader and Bin4ry's method doesn't work on that firmware.
Thanks Spectre51, I understand the limitations and was wondering if going for the newer FW .195 was really worth loosing root on .303.

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.

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.

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?

Follow part A of this guide. Download any software customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool and change your customisation version to 1270-6188.
Then connect your phone to your PC and the update should be available.
Note : It will be the generic CH (Swiss) version you receive, but the software does not vary from region to region anyway, only included apps.

You can download with changing the customization number your old firmware(that method which kingvortex posted). There are 2 links, 1 with customization numbers and the other is this what kingvortex give you. Give a look on it.

If you root your phone and install the Recovery, you can make a Nand backup. This is a Backup of the full system.
You loose warranty if you unlock your bootloader. But here you flash just an other original SONY firmware, for this you don't need to unlock your bootloader and that means you won't loose warranty.

Hi there I have an ee branded sp and im still waiting for a generic or ee update myself. I tried the Vodafone firmware and didnt like the bloatware. The ce one was better but I didnt like the customisation. I did find ce to be buggy but found that repair through pcc actually optimised all the apps which flasing didnt and it was butter smooth. Didnt like having a Russian play now app or no nfc icon or having 4g reffered to as lte so reverted back to stock ee. If ur not Bothered about these little niggles reflash ce and repair from pcc. Im hoping we get a generic or ee Rom soon
Does the PCC repair redownload the whole ROM again or just fix things with what you have?
Also out of interest where did you get the stock EE 4.1.2? I cant see a link for it and would probably rather revert back.
I've got a generic UK 4.1.2 ftf, I got it from the links inside Xperia update checker. If you download and setup the update checker then click check firmwares when you are on the Xsp C5303, there are links to a few ftf's and one is UK .254 firmware.
I also find the European version to be very slow and sluggish, I'll have to try your idea of using the repair function in pc companion.
I'm still confused how Vodafone got 266 rolled out before the generic version. I hope they are still rolling out more versions, a clean uk 266 would be nice!

I beleive it redownloads the latest Rom for that region (.266 for central europe, the same one If already installed) but this time u get all the apps optimizing at first startup, which didnt happen when flashing the Rom from flashtools from which made it buttersmooth. I dont have a link for the .254 ee Rom I have one for .211 ee rom an older one but that can be upgraded to. 254 ee if u connect it to pcc. And I suggest always updating through pcc whenever possible as I find it gives the best imstall I feel. Il post up the link to the ee .211 Rom in a few mins once I find it again.

Hi. Could u possibly upload the generic UK Rom you have? I have not been able to download ir from anywhere as the file seems to have been removed from any links I find. Il be forever at your service
Yeah I'll sort out uploading them/finding the links, I'm at work at the moment, should be home in about 2 hours, hold on brothers!
Also another thread opened saying Sony Gb are rolling out today, so hopefully I'll be able to make an ftf of 266 generic UK if it's out yet

Search for firmware.. U want in . Ftf format for ur device And flash it via flash tool...
Hope this helps
Firmware
I tried much but failed to find kitkat or higher
You're on the latest available software for your device (C6606). It seems that T-Mo aren't interested in the C6606 any more and won't approve updates for it.
I've seen around the forum that some people have flashed the C6616 firmware to their C6606 with success. You could try that. I'm not sure if you would lose any T-Mo features like wifi calling though and it's obviously at your own risk. Nothing should go wrong though.
If you want to try, you can download and flash the latest C6616 firmware (10.6.A.0.454) by following my guide - How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
Firmware
Thanks @kingvortex i dnt want any t mobile app at all but the flashing will support official sony updates? And c6606 is compatible with c66016 stock firmware?

Most people have found it better to do a clean flash when upgrading to Lollipop, so it's probably best to backup your apps and reinstall after flashing. Apart from that you shouldn't have problems if you follow my guide.
Clean
I dnt want any data i want a perfect stock rom only thats become possible only because of you thanks i will message u tonight
flash tool
@kingvortex buddy hery is something i didnt get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
(WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.) copied from there
what is this thing ?? and download link for flash tool there are to many links on that page
Just use the latest version. You can download it from here. I suggest downloading via torrent if you can as it's the fastest way.

How did you actually get 5.0.2 installed to your phone after you flashed 6616? Did you use PC companion or do an OTA update?
Thanks ahead of time.

Thanks a lot dude. Would've been stuck on 4.3 for I dunno how long if it weren't for you.
So since I updated to 5.0.2 a couple days ago I can't seem to use mobile network for internet access. Only wifi works. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Did you try downloading Internet settings? It's under Settings -> Wireless & network -> More -> Internet settings.
