Hello, I`m new here. I got xperia sp c5303, android 4.3, build nr 12.1.A.1.201. The phone is almost one month old, I`m from Romania and I bought it from Emag. My question is this, if I want to downgrade what version of ftf should I download? After i make the downgrade is there anyother update I should be aware of? My phone was running smooth before the update to 4.3,now it`s just laggy.
Please guide me if you can since I`m noob and have no ideea what I`m suppose to do.

Hi guys, i'm Darwin from Honduras, Central America. Im newest with my SP 5302
So i have dowloaded the newest firmware 12.1.A.1.201, and i didn't read that i can't root from 4.3 JB.
I read some thread and i can make a downgrade from my current FW. So the thing is i can't find a FW that's fits my phone (country or region), the question is ¿Can i use othe countrys FW in my phone (UK, India for example)? It will crash? I will be able to use my sim card and navigate without problems?
Thanks in advice, you guys are awesome.
PS. Pardon my bad english.
If you are interested in the latest .201 which is rooted, there are some devs developing nice ROMs based on .201 with root.
At the moment I am on purexperience which incorporates Z2 gui, etc and fast. It still has some bugs but I can live with it until something better comes along, if at all. :laugh: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691767&page=4)
Otherwise, another dev has put a full .201 in the forum which is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704009)
Note: you will need to be rooted with CWM recovery in order to install these ROMs. The only way that I know is to downgrade the firmware to old 4.1.2 which enables you to use Doomlord's exploit (V18) after which you can install CWM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933 (for this one you will have to flash .254 full firmware before starting the process)
PS: you don't have to get the ftf that fits your country. Just take CE, SG, AU, UK (if you are comfortable with English) and it will prompt you for your language during setup...After all the downgraded ftf is simply a step to root and will be wiped out when you install .201
you can use stock based ROM, I am curently used existenz 2.1.5, it now also have newer version with xperia sirius features on it.

The radio baseband determines the frequency the phone can receive flashing another region firmware won't affect it if yours is a c5303 I know Brazil is then you will be fine flashing other c5303 fw for example uk. I think its just USA that has a different baseband.

hi, did you unlock your bootloader before? if yes, then relock it. Or flash a .157 (Latest 4.4.4) via flashtool.

Hey greatly thanks. If I do it wrong or if any wrong thing happened, what possible damages can cause? I want my mobile rooted for some apps and I am totally newbie to how to root.
As long as you follow the guide, nothing bad should happen. At worst you might have to reflash stock firmware, but that's very unlikely.

Hii.
My phone model is C6903
customization version: 1276-0875_R2D
Active customization: 1276-0875_R2D
Phone software version: 1274-8313_14.5.A.0.242
running on lollipop 5.0.2
want to upgrade lollipop 5.1 by making pre rooted rom but,
in xpriafirm there is customized version: 14.6.A.1.236/R6D
i unable to understand what is difference between R2D and R6D
there is no R2D available for CDA: 1276-0875 customized uk
please help should i download 14.6.A.1.236/R6D
thanks.
The 14.6.A.1.236 one is the latest, so you should probably download that. I think the R just stands for some kind of revision number (not sure), not really important.

Get into flashmode and flash stock ftf file and re-root and re-install recovery if you want.
