Download stripped ftf and just flash it with everything unchanged.
Stripped ftf is kernel only+baseband and it's created for that purpose.

Hehe
The best part in ftf flashing is that even if you screw something and flash full ftf it won't do any damage.
You'll just have to root it again

stock kernel flashable through CWM (especially needed for locked bootloader)
ONLY FOR LT30P!:

Thanks to JohnnyMac999
ONLY FOR LT25I!:

Thanks to Timin8r!
ONLY FOR LT29i!:
Small error in filename. It says 9.1.A.1.140but it is the 9.1.B.0.411kernel (I am not going to re-upload for only this typo, it's on the updater script too but it really installs the .411 kernel)
Downloadlink: http://d-h.st/lAk
Thanks to petalex99
Please report if either the LT30A, the LT25I, and the LT29i version works. These are untested.
If you want I can make it for your devices to, but it will be untested, so will need testers.
If you want me to make one for tl, tx, or v, please post in this thread, don't spam my mailbox!
What do I need for the flashable kernel?
Kernel.elf.
You can make this with flashtool. Just extract kernel.sin from the ftf of your device, and use flashtool's build in sin editor to 'drop' the data in the sin. This will result in kernel.elf.
I would do it myself if I had my pc.
More detailed instructions are found here:

[facepalm] Sorry for the question, but what's the interest of this ? [/facepalm]
The interest is that you won't need a pc anymore to update your phone to a newer firmware.
Because you can flash a Rom.zip and afterwards my kernel.zip.
It's just for ease of use

Hi bro can u make this for xv
Great work. Mind if I post a link on the XperimenT thread?. Btw, it is not as needed to flash this as it was for the first JB update, the phone will work fine with .140 firmware and .489/.492 kernel mine ran like that for 2 days with no probs. But now that the locked bootloader cwm works with this kernel there's no need to stick to the old kernel.

sure, just upload me the kernel.elf (if you don't know how to make it i suggest you read the all in one thread (and gregbradley already explained id too)
I'd do it myself if i could, but i won't have my computer at hand for next couple of weeks.
And my phone has a limited data plan so i really don't want to download/upload any more than really is necessery

Sure no problem, you could even just include it in your rom so it will automatically flash right kernel (only handy for LB ofc)
credit's WOULD be nice ofc
and i think the new kernel will probably be better for battery and maybe a little bit for performance

I won't be integrating it as I don't need it myself but will provide the link for those that do. And you know me, credits will be given to those that deserve them
Performance with this kernel is indeed better. I just needed the old kernel to get to cwm, testing mods for my new build.

Sorry for late response!
But I'm sorry I can't make a CWM or TWRP kernel, since I don't know how to compile one.
This kernel is completely stock, no changes made, just prepared it for flashing through a zip
I can however, if you post me the kernel.elf make a flashable zip containing your stock kernel, and you could use CWM for stock bootloader after that.

Thanks for the answer, but I don't know how to prepare a kernel.elf from a kernel.sin which I extracted from stock, original ROM.
So....that is..untill I will learn!
Ok,
Step one:
Download ftf.
Step two:
Use winrar to open the ftf, and extract kernel.sin
Step three:
Open flashtool, search for sin editor, this is in one of the menus on the statusbar.
Click on it and choose open file.
Select your kernel.sin and press dump data (or something equivalent)
Step four:
Upload the kernel.elf which flashtool dropped.
Step five:
I can create flashable zip of your kernel.
Maybe I didn't use the correct words everywhere, just use common sense in those cases
Good luck!

HI there,
I am trying to flash a ROM, however, I need to use flashtools first to flash C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_GenericCE-stripped
The fact is that when I open flashtools the portion that says WIPE is blank, not showing anything. I have tried to flash it anyway, but afterwards I see in my phone that nothing really happens. I have downloaded many versions of flashtools (including the latest) but it's still the same.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or how to activate the WIPE portion in the screen.
Thanks in advance.

I assume the OP is trying to install this rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387191
Flashing that stripped FTF is part of the process. I haven't flashed that rom, so I'm not sure what the ftf contains or if a wipe is even required when flashing it.
Edit: The OP says they are trying to flash it first. The instructions in the rom thread seem to suggest it is the last step.
Is there some sort of misunderstanding of the steps required happening here?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
the "stripped" version of firmware usually only includes the kernel. its for upgrading firmware to flash a rom that is a newer firmware so you need to flash a custom rom of the same firmware after flashing the stripped firmware
Thank you all. As a matter of fact I am trying to flash the YUGA ROM which I find is great. What I am going to do is flash another ROM with .244 and then I will be able to flash YUGA ROM.
Thanks again.

As the topic clearly states the question..
Is it any EASY way to deodex stock .67 firmware for Xperia Z? I am currently pretty tired of getting infinite bootloops after trying out a lot of deodex-suitable methods that's here and there all over the internet and everything just ends up in chaos..
Some proper how-to guides that someone wants to share?

I was messing around with the system/app folder and replaced the camera files with ported files. Now the camera app doesn't work and I didn't make a backup of those files. So please can someone provide the required files?
As you don't say which firmware version you're using, then just extract them from a rom or flash a stock FTF with Flashtool without wiping.
Next time you're modifying /system, make sure you backup.

Branded = Stock Sony firmware with carrier-specific settings and/or software
Unbranded = Stock Sony firmware without the above, also known as 'generic'
Custom = any modified or non-Sony firmware e.g. MIUI, CyanogenMod, AOSP builds.
And how do I know which one should I use?

To find out what firmware your device has on it currently, just go to Settings > About Device > Build Number. Then search on XDA or Google for the ".ftf" version, flash it with Flashtool and you're good to go.

So I downloaded a stock rom 10.5.1.A.0.283 for my C6603 and it appears to be .zip not .ftf which I don't know how to flash
I used to flash .ftf using The Flashtool .. so could anyone please help me with this?
and I use C6603 that is rooted but locked bootloader, just to be clear!
I wanted to show you what I got when I unzipped the rom but since I'm new here I couldn't post a link to the photo!
Where did you download it? Technically, a FTF is an archive, so sometimes your PC will assign the same icon to it as a zip.

I thought so firstly but I can unzip it with WinZip which I can't do with .FTF, right?
more than that The Flashtool couldn't recognize it as a firmware!
Thanx for replying
What is the filename? You might have downloaded a prerooted stock firmware, which needs flashing in recovery.
Also, WinRAR/WinZip etc can extract FTF files.

It doesn't look like it. Try renaming to FTF and see if Flashtool accepts it.
If not, you can download this C6602 stock FTF that I uploaded. That is 100% a FTF and usable with Flashtool.
