Help with Flashing ftf files 4.2.2 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with my Z1 C6903 . I updated flashed latest v4.4.4 ( C6903_14.4.A.0.108_1276_7937_R3C Customized SG ) with flastool from v.4.4.2 (C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Telstra ) with no probs . All working fine . The other day i wanted to downgrade back to original v4.2.2 and got the correct ftf file flashed but phone starts and it gets stuck on boot doesn't past sony logo thing . Now i tried a lots of different ftf files with same v 4.2.2 and same thing happens . Only versions that can be flashed is .757 or this latest .108 that will boot ok and work fine . Actually .757 gives me some android process stopped but at least it passes sony boot logo . I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong that's why I'm asking for any help out there . What I want to do is to return back to 4.2.2 to try something . I'm not happy with camera at all now reckon it was far better on 4.2.2 what it came with in the first place.
Thanks .

look in NUTS thread over at development section. AFAIK, there's a specific 4.2.2 FTF that you need to flash, all others will fail.
uhm, i think i was wrong. sorry dude, but try this 4.2.2 FTF https://mega.co.nz/#!sAkVgJLa!7MuLRykC4jVumjRcWbrzXIXbufWrox4LICRJ8qIpoNo this is the one i am talking about

Thanks mate I'll give a try now . Fingers crossed .

No still same mate damn .

No luck mate . It didn't work . Does it matter if you do clean install flash like wipe data etc. or you can keep data like I do all this time ?

my experience with samsung phones, it is a REQUIREMENT to wipe every thing from your phone when you want to upgrade manually. and i did wipe everything when i upgraded my z1. as to how i got back to 4.4.2, i had a nandroid

Yeah I Know it's just pain in the ass loosing everything . In meantime I managed to root and install TWRP and also did back up nandroid .Well i wanted to try IHackers rom but I'm not sure if it can be done on .108 version cause it says that you need to flash .534 for locked bootloader . Mine is locked as well . I backed up TA partition too . Sure i go for unlock bootlader from Sony or stay on locked ? Well I don't have any back up of 4.2.2 unfortunately .
My other phone is Samsung as well . much easier to deal with it if you ask me . Anyways appreciate you help mate .

Read forum rules, it clearly says "DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL SECTION"!
To your problem: are you running 4.2.2 or 4.3 now? In your post you say you flashed 4.2, but then you say you're running 4.3
Try to reflash a stock 4.3 ftf. This should solve your problem

Im running now 4.3
I DON'T WANT STOCK 4.3 FTF
It's bad for me the both versions are bad i want 4.2.2 the best
Do you want a custom Rom or stock 4.2? Because if you want a custom Rom you should flash 4.4....
If you want to stay with 4.2.2 reflash a stock ftf
If you downgrade, you need to wipe everything, or you may get a bootloop or errors like the ones that you're seeing.

Then you should download a ftf file and flash it, but don't forget to wipe as kingvortex mentioned

I know i most wipe data when using flastool i tried upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 without wiping data its worked without bootloops but the bug of my 4.2.2 now in 4.3 i flashed 4.3 again with wiping data now its fine :good:
The most thing i liked in 4.2.2 is the ROOT
Now can you give me link for a bug free 4.2.2 stock ftf? If you cant now dont do it now do it when you not busy
I googled but i didnt found clear one and i cant try every4.2.2 ftf because my internet speed slow 80kb\s

And i heared some one say using flashtool much may damage my CPU is that right?

You can find a stock 4.2.2 .ftf file over the net or even here on xda and use the flashtool. When selecting the firmware to flash, also check the "reset customisations" option (down right) and then follow the common flashing sequence. This might fix your problem. Otherwise, use other version or pc companion or update service.

If it would be so, then many people out there wouldn't flash their phones over and over again.

As soon as you have a backup of the stock firmware (which is an .ftf file in your case), you can experiment with your phone as much as you want. That's what I do anyways....

You can do a full wipe from flashtool just tick the user data box in flashtool you can find it in right corner when select an ftf file

[Q] Downgrade from 4.4.2 KK - 4.3 JB. Help.

First of all, I've tried searching and reading tons of forums/guides the past hours, but I can't get this to work. So please excuse me if I've missed something
I'm trying to downgrade my Xperia Z1 from (the horrible) KK update 4.4.2. to my stock 4.3 JB. I've tried flashing the following FTF's:
C6903_14.2.A.1.136_Generic Nordic NCB_1276-9897.ftf
C6903_14.2.A.0.290_Customized NCB 1276-9897 (Nordic Combined).ftf
C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1276-4314_R2A.ftf
All found here!
No one works. I keep getting bootloops (I can se the startup animation, then it restarts). I manged to get my phone working with using the orginal KK FTF (C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Generic NCB 1276-9897 (Nordic).ftf).
Could somebody please help me and figure out what the problem is? I've added my Software Info as an attachment.
Thanks for any replies!
Really weird, if you flashed them correctly from Flashtool v0.9.15 they should work, check the version of your Flashtool if is correct. Also try the one (FW .534) provided by NUT for C6903, here.

I used Flashtool Version 0.9.15.0. and yes, I believe so.
Flashmode->Choose FTF->Wipe Appslog and Cache, uncheck Data->Flash
That looks like 4.2. FW, and a custom ROM? I would like to have the original 4.3 .

Yes, but if that will work then you will have more chance to Update via Flashtool to .136 FW 4.3 and maybe get Root too (Optional).

Hm.. I'm not sure about a custom ROM, It's a road I'm not quite familiar with, if you understand .
There isn't any troubleshooting I could do that you can think of? Have i selected the right FTF for my phone? Is it actually possible to downgrade from 4.4.2. to 4.3?
EDIT:
If I'm going to delete my data, exactly WHAT am I losing? I want to know what I have to take backup of before trying that out.

It's not Custom, it's Stock, they are all Stock, but you can have Root on it.

Yes, it is possible, I did many times. Check everything you downloaded or did, nobody can know that better than you-self.

OK, then, wipe everything and make a fresh installation of 4.3, I think this will work. Backup anything what is important to you, Pictures, Vids, or Data games to not going to download them again. I don't know, wipe everything..

You will find all on XDA just by searching the right Words.
You have to use "Flashtool v0.9.16", download the FTF from "Mega Collection" for your Model (C6902/3/6). Download the FTF "Generic" or "Commercial", the customization have nothing to do with that, put that FTF in the Folder of Flashtool, Run Flashtool, Flash, select the right FTF, put your Phone in "Flashmode" and when Flashtool asking connect the phone via USB to PC, Wipe everything Data, Cashe, Appslog. Done.
Do not ask for step by step, all what you have to know I already wrote.
Clik Thanx.

This is quite strange
1) Locked or unlocked bootloader?
2) Have you ever flashed a custom kernel?
3) Have you ever flashed a custom rom?
4) What's your original firmware customization number? EDIT: I've just seen that's 1266-6442... is this your ORIGINAL firmware? Where do you live? In Germany?
5) Rooted? CWM?

I can have locked or unlocked, thats not the problem.
Custom kernel, roms, rooting CWM and so on, i never did that, just flashing with flashtool :S
and yeah 1266-6442 is the original customization number, and i live in belgium, but 20 minutes away from Germany.

Ok, yes, I know how it works...
I just asked about the bootloader status, because sometimes some people mess with bootloader, kernel, flash from recovery, flash with Flashtool... and so on... WITHOUT the understanding of what they're doing... and come here complaining... do you know what I mean?
OK, now, I know how to help you.
1)
There's a method to download and install the original firmware directly from Sony.
But you need to be rooted. So, are you rooted?
2)
Your customization number is wrong.
1266-6442 doesn't exist.
That's maybe the number of your model, but it's not related with the firmware.
The right number for Telekom Germany is 1265-9144
The customization number is inside your software and can be found pressing *#*#7378423#*#*, inside Service info --> Sofware info --> Customization Version.
Give me that number please, so I can understand what's the software working now on you device.
3)
You said "I didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on.."
Ok, please, explain better what you did.
Have you flashed what kind of rom? Via recovery?

And i currently have 1265-1620_R1J, flashed it yesterday just so, its CE Region i thing, 4.3 version, build .295.
3)Yeah, i first had the original Firmware on my phone, had the 4.2.2 version, and then the official software came for my phone and the T-Mobile provider i think.
And then, the 4.3 is just S**t, as i sad it, just problems, and i just want the previous version, because it worked perfect.
so i just was flashing all the other firmwares, especially the 4.3, from all the other regions, i thought maybe they will work better, but nope.
And when i try to flash previous versions/firmware, it just comes to the animation, after the sony and xperia logo, and restarts over and over again :/
And no, no roms, or recovery, i didnt do anything of all that, just flashing firmware with flashtool.

Ok, now I've understood what's your situation.
It seems that when you flashed 4.1.2 firmwares, the process was not compete for some reason.
The list from which you get that number, is about all kind of xperia T... and is different from the firmware list.
The problem is that you lost your previous original number, maybe it was 1265-9144... and you can resume it only with root and a little bit of experience... and actually I'm not sure you would be able to handle this kind of hacking stuff.
Anyway I'm quite sure that 4.1.2 from CE is perfect for your needs.
Try this one with Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
This firmware is perfect for any european country: I tested many times and is one of the best.
But before flashing, recharge your battery to the maximum. And be sure that the flashing process is complete and without errors.
Just try and let me know...

Ok, now I've understood what's your situation.
It seems that when you flashed 4.1.2 firmwares, the process was not compete for some reason.
The list from which you get that number, is about all kind of xperia T... and is different from the firmware list.
The problem is that you lost your previous original number, maybe it was 1265-9144... and you can resume it only with root and a little bit of experience... and actually I'm not sure you would be able to handle this kind of hacking stuff.
Anyway I'm quite sure that 4.1.2 from CE is perfect for your needs.

Well Im downloading it now, in 5 minutes the download is done, and flash it then and i will report.
When it doesnt work, i must do that root or what u think should work.
With a bit of instructions and so on, i could do it, im a "Computer/Technic Freak" anyway

Damn, didint work. I had 50 % Battery, thats not the problem, the flashing process went good without any errors, and again, it comes past sony and xperia logo, and then by the animation, it blocks and restarts and do it all again..
I think i must do that root and so on :/

This kind of issue is called "bootloop".
When it happens, try to push "power button" + "volume up" together.
The phone will turn off.
Turn on again and if there's bootloop again, repeat the procedure on and on and on.
Try many times...

Well i did it, many times, didnt help.. And tried the soft and hardreset at least, didnt work either.. But im asking, why does this bootloop dont appear by any 4.3 version ?
Can i check somehow, is my phone rooted ?
Well, the other method wirh rooting and so on, must be done i think..

I can't answer to the first question.
You are the first with this weird problem and I'm beginning to think that something is broken inside your phone.
Bootloops are usual when something is wrong with kernel or system, but if you say that flashing went good and this appears only with 4.1.2 , I really don't know why.
You are not rooted because you've never done before and anyway every time you format the system (flashing with Flashtool or via recovery) you lose root.
So you are not rooted for sure.
The problem now is becoming bigger, because there's no way to root a 4.3 firmware directly.
But... guess what? You have to root 4.1.2 before and then install a 4.3 already rooted. :crying:
The only way for you to root 4.3 directly is to unlock your bootloader, but this means that you lose warranty and DRM keys (that are needed to let work some functions like Bravia Engine).
Actually you could save your warranty and DRM keys with a special backup (called TA backup), but.... guess what? You need to be rooted!!!! :crying:
The second way is to try to install 4.0.4 ice cream and root it. It could work.
I give you this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B55PDGQqCzReV2dFSjFSNnlLLVk/preview?pli=1
It's 4.0.4 italian version...
Try this... and if it doesn't work, the only way is to unlock your bootloader losing warranty and drm keys, sorry...

LOL :cyclops: as you wish...
1) Flash 4.3 with Flashtool
2) Unlock your bootloader on Sony official site following all the instructions: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
3) Once it's unlocked, open Flashtool and re-flash 4.1.2 CE that I gave you and you tried before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
4) Don't turn on. Download Doomkernel here: http://d-h.st/4kK
Unpack the .elf file inside the zip
5) Open Flashtool. Connect the phone to PC keeping pushed the volume-up button. Now the phone is in fastboot mode. Click on the lightning symbol, select fastbootmode, select kernel to flash, select the .elf file extracted before, done.
6) Unplug the phone. Turn on and you will see the doomkernel logo... and now I hope that you finally enter into 4.1.2 firmware without bootloop.
7) To root: you need to copy this file http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to the internal memory.
Turn off. Turn on pushing volume-down repeatedly, now you enter into recovery, now install the supersu zip and reboot.

DAAAAAMN ! -.- :/ DommKernel logo is there, xperia logo, animation, and blocks again, restarts all the time.. I'm really desperate...
Now you have 4.1.2 with the doomkernel and the root, which is the perfect combination to do anything on your device.
If it's working, you can leave the phone in this situation.
Instead if you really want to go back to the original firmware, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334653
Follow the part A using this custom number 1265-9144 (t-mobile Germany). Remember you need root for this process!
Relock the bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924221
Plug to Sony PC Companion and Sony will re-install your original firmware.
My advice is to leave the phone unlocked and rooted with CE firmware

Damn.
Reflash 4.3 with Flashtool.
Download this Doomkernel: http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=VC1Eb29NS2VybmVsLXYwOQ==
Be aware: don't use the old doomkernel, but this one (v.09) that is specific for 4.3
Flash the elf file, as you did before.
Now you have doomkernel logo and you can enter into 4.3.
Now root it as I suggested in the previous posts (turn off, turn on pushing vol-down, flash suspersu zip, reboot).
Try.

Well dude im a bit confused now
The recovery mode is working too ( volume down pressing repeadetly", "Team recovery..." didnt catch up the rest of the name, but cant boot into the phone as i said.
Soo, what should i do now? You are my one and only HOPE !!

Xperia T LT30p 4.1.2 can't get it going !

I'm trying it for days now, and can't get it work, always bootloops.
I can flash every 4.3 stock firmware, from every region, and it works, even the new OmniROM 4.4 KitKat HOME/NIGHT Build;
I just cant get it going, the 4.1.2 firmware. I have unlocked bootloader, i tried every stock rom, with all the DoomKernels from 1-4 and 7-9v, root superSU, but nooothing.
I want that firmware, because the 4.3, it has lot of problems, the battery cant stand 45-60m, the battery becomes sooo hot, and i have no wifi and dont recognizes my sim, and the 4.1.2 that i had, was perfect working.
So if anyone can help me, please help !

I didn't forget you, mate
This is my last idea:
1) Flash 4.0.4 with Flashtool https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B55PDGQqCzReV2dFSjFSNnlLLVk/preview?pli=1
2) If 4.0.4 works fine, then re-lock your bootloader like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924221
You must re-lock, because updates with OTA and SUS are disabled when the bootloader is unlocked.
3) Once re-locked, the phone should ask you to update via OTA... and it should be the 4.1.2 update.
Accept the update and the phone automatically downloads and updates to 4.1.2
Remember that you can re-unlock your bootloader whenever you want, also if you can get your 4.1.2 full working

Nevertheless I taught you to work with bootloader... so now you can install Omnirom or Doomkernel... just enjoy these few things ...and let's hope that Sony will release a bugless 4.3 firmware... or better, a full working 4.4... but it's hard, since our device is getting old :crying:

C6903 - Baseband Unknown Fix

Hi Experts,
I have searched the forum and after flashing for three sleepless nights, I am still struck with the unknown baseband issue.
The details are:
C6903
BL Unlocked & now its locked using Flashtool (DRM or TA backup is unavailable )
Currently the phone is struck in boot loop in .534
Used Flashtool ver. 0.9.22.3 & 0.9.18.6
Latest EMMA & Xperia Companion
My phone hanged when listening to the music and when I force restarted the unknown baseband showed up. While flashing I got the baseband back after flashing .518 however it hanged again after two days and I lost the BB
Now I am struck in boot loops on .534 and .518 both. I can boot into .290 successfully. Can someone please guide me to the correct method of restoring my IMEI permanently.
P.S. As per my short experience with C6903, I believe something stops the boot of .534 and .518 after first boot. Means I was not able to boot into .534 but accidentally when I flashed .518, my phone booted successfully. However now I am unable to boot into .518. May be I am missing the piece of puzzle that an expert can provide.
Thanks in advance~

Thanks for your tip but I have already tried and still get struck in bootloop.
No .534 FTF has booted until now and I have used 6 of them already...
An update is that I have rooted 4.4.4 and installed recovery...
can someone tell me where can I get .534 zip to flash as the files I have are giving me verification error on TWRP.
Thanks in advance...
I have tried to use NUT fix but the files are not available for downloading.
I would really appreciate if someone can direct me to the correct path. I am almost giving up now...

Hi again, Really appreciate your help.
I have tried flashing a number of files but still in vain. What I really can't understand is .518 was the last 4.2.2 rom that booted successfully on my phone and brought my baseband back. Now .534 and .518 are both ending in a bootloop at Sony animation Really driving me crazy...
As a side note, can you tell me if the modem files in the link below are useful for this issue?

By the way I am really amazed with the Z1 ability to handle abuse that I have thrown at it during the last 2 weeks
Changing phone is not an option for me right now. Using Nokia 1100 after a long time seems very uncomfortable and can't do it for long

My SIm was only detected once thats when I installed .518 but it lasted for a day and got held. When I force restarted the phone it was again missing baseband.
Now it isnt booting into .518 or .534.
Experts am I asking something that is un-do-able...
Guys shall I give up fixing this phone
I loved this dead beauty...
Hi, tried to flash with different cables as I don't have Sony original cable with me but the results are still the same. No luck with .534 and baseband is still unknown...
I understand this is a free community and people are free to determine if they wanna help someone or not. However I just wanna know if this is repairable or shall I just forget about repairing it. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

I have realized that the phone does not shuts down with the power button in any bootable rom. Also sometimes the baseband does appear soon after installation but it disappears as sim is inserted. Can someone plz help me understand whats going wrong. I really love this phone...
