[Q] Quick question on ftf 534 for Telus (Rooting) - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, Just got my xperia Z1 today. Looking to root it. Seems like I need the .534 FTF.
My phone is the C6906 from Telus. The only one with .534 ftf is for Rogers. Does anyone have the generic, the Telus or know if I can use the Rogers ftf to downgrade my phone in order to start rooting it?

Use any .534 for your model to start rooting. It doesn't matter if branded or not, you will upgrade anyway to Pre-Rooted by NUT.

First, what model do you have? 6603 or 6602? Do you have root? Did you unlock your bootloader? I am in mexico and I received my update for the 6602 one week ago
You can download any FTF and flash it via flashtools, if you want stock, if you are in custom rom with UB you will always be able to update manually and never lose root

[Q] Question about stock FW for German provider

Hey guys,
at the moment I am on 4.2.2. and .257 with my C6903
with backup TA and stuff plus
flash dual recovery and Criskelo on a locked bootloader after that.
I experienced some performance and battery issues due to reasons I dont want
to specify further
so now I got back to stock, did the whole OTA process with root
I bought my device from O2 DE and flashed Generic DE FTF
the question is:
Is Generic DE FTF or Central Europe FTF the right package to return the device back to stock?
(Mainly I have a pain in the *** because they delay the 4.3. for some of the german carriers so I wondered whether it does actually matter
what FTF I run on my device)

[Q] Bell C6906 downgrade to 534 and obtain root

The Phone: Bell C6906 LB 14.3.A.0.681
Cant seem to find the right information on this.
When I tried to flash the 534 Rogers firmware I get a bootloop, however there is no generic 534 firmware for the 6906, only 290 and 257 (Generic CA 290 and 257 both flash fine).
Is it possible to flash a 6903 firmware and exclude the baseband in the flash? Or what firmware should I be flashing to get onto 534?
Flash the Rogers FTF .534 for C6906 and exclude Baseband.

Negative. I still get a "SONY" logo bootloop after flashing CA Rogers 14.1.G.1.534. (In flashtool the firmware is recognized for C6909) even though it was download as 6906.
Guess I'm not getting root

Strange - I was able to go from a generic C6906 to the Rogers 534 FTF and then back to generic. Can you do a SHA-1 hash check on your file? Maybe the file was corrupted during the download.
The file that worked for me had the following signature:
D4A87945BA556ED4195C9EB723550AD4921BCFB6

Firmware carrier doesnt seem to make a difference, i am on bell aswell and i just flashed the files in that.
if mobile data does not work you have to add Bell APN's in Settings>Wireless & networks> Mobile networks> Access Point Names
good luck
I had to flash 543 a few times. eventually it worked. was stuck in a boot loop.

[Q] US Generic FTF on Canadian C6906 (Rogers)

Hi there,
I am looking to flash 14.4.A.0.157 on my stock (not rooted, stock everything) Rogers C6906, but the only available option right now is the US Generic FTF from the FTF megathread. Now, I'm sure this will flash successfully since the hardware is the same, but will this affect my ability to receive OTA updates from Rogers? Lollipop is due in a few months and I still want to be able to get that.
Basically, what are the risks (if any) of flashing this generic FTF on my Canadian C6906, and can I revert back to the stock Rogers firmware if needed?

Downgrade from Lollipop to Kk which ftf to use?

i'm planning to downgrade my Z1 c6903 from lollopop to Kitkat 4.4.4 and upon searching the net i found so many firmware and i don't know what ftf file to flash in flash tool I''m planning to flash C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_SG_1276-7937_R3C.ftf
is it ok to flash this version?
I used 14.4.A.0.157 which is newer to .108
you can use this ftf
but use lollipop as suggested.
