Should be no issues at all to flash this over my home-made fastboot of 81.5.39002. You won't even have to wipe your data at all

No, SIM lock has nothing to do with what Rom the phone is running. Please ask in Q/A about SIM locks.

Can you upload a untouched not rooted version?
Would be great thanks.

Did that just wasn't sure if anything else was done. I wanted to de brand the phone to get otas quicker without waiting for network to update.

Does this rom have a "new" Radio/Baseband Firmware included ?

How good is this version?? I mean... quadrant or antutu score, I have the latest retail brazil firmware and is an excellent one, the only problem is that I can't get root.

matt
as it seems that my phone is not elligible to be rooted according to the motorola website does this mean that if I use this "routine" it will unlock my phone and root it so I can remove waste apps etc
excuse the ignorance but I want to be sure
thanks

whats the news for that rom?

Matt, any comments about flashing this over .3900 gb retail to try and work around the current inability to upgrade to 4.1.2?
How would it effect a currently unlocked / rooted version? We wouldnt be digging a deeper hole would we?

For upgrading and downgrading you should be using the Homemade fastboots.

Hi, when I flashed this I got bootloop - so for me at least, DO wipe data. Also, root seems to appear, but every app on my phone complains that there is no root. I'm trying to find what root we used for ICS ...
UPDATE: Ok I uninstalled all superuser material and tried the ICS mototofail (locked bootloader, I didn't realise the BL would be relocked after downgrading) and some apps are accepting root status -some still say no root-. That is progress.

Hai, Anyone can upload Stock 81.5.31002 GB ICS say in homemade fastboot or CWM? Thanks.

is that stock kernel have a "2way callrecording patch" inside ?

Needs reup, unless you can point me someone else that doesn't 404

[ROM][FTF][CWM]XPERIA Tablet Z Stock Firmware 10.1.C.0.370

Stock Firmware Files (FTF-File and CWM-flashable-ZIP-File) for ur XPERIA Tablet Z WiFi 32GB
I am not a Developer so everything u find here comes without warranty! I tested the FTF-File and had no problems on my SGP312! But this
wont mean it is the same for u ... Whatever u do with the files u find here, u do it at ur own risk! I am not responsible for any damages!!!
Here we go:
FTF-File to use with Flashtool
this is Stock Firmware 10.1.C.0.370 from Japan
i guess it makes no difference whether it is Japanese or somewhat else!
DOWNLOAD
CWM-Flashable-ZIP to use u need to read here
this file is slightly modified ... for lack of time it is same like this
maybe root works out of the box ... ef not flash this one to make sure root is correctly installed.
DOWNLOAD
Maybe root is not stable ... dont know ... i could not test the cwm-zip-file ... ef so pls tell me! i can upload another zip-file
contending a modified install-recovery.sh file! Maybe that helps!!!​

Thanx alot
I have a brand new xperia tablet Z jb FW10.1.C.0.370 model sgp311 16GB wifi with locked bootloader
Just to be sure before flashing this, how to do!
install flashtool and then flash this japense version off FW 370 and then i have root ??
+ exclude "partition"(because i got the 16gigs version) and "unknown" in flashtool
but what about my language then? if i OTA install my countrys version off 370 i´ll loose root again wont i?
Thanx a newbie

Nope!
As written FTF-file is stock... Atm u can't root fw370 straight away!
CWM Zip-file is modified ... already rooted... but with unlocked bootloader
u can root easily.
U gotta go back to fw344 root it and update Ota... for me root is
inconsistent then but read about working root in some cases
(I don't believe but some wrote it down so...)

Ok thanx
So if i unlock bootloader (i say yes) i can install cwm flashable zip from recovery+ superuser.zip, and then i have root?
whitout having to go back to fw344?
Or is it best to wait until binaries get updated with FW370?
:good:

is this a Japanese .370 version, or is it US one?

well i am going to wait ... i am back @ 344 and i will stay @ this fw until root hack is
more stable than nowadays ... but it depends on u ... i have read threads people love
cm10.1 on there XTZ ... and bravia engine 2 is a bit of a joke ... but i also read about
bravia engine as a really really good engine gettin the most beautiful colors out of XTZ.
So ... sorry ur choice ... but yes ur right ... that is the way it goes atm!

thanks, but i'll pass. Not installing foreign firmware in my US XTZ. I've heard there are differences and some apps/features arent the same. Will wait until someone makes flashable zip for US SGP312 version.

@c0llal0, do you encounter the reboot issue while modify the write/read in RE at FW 370? seems i did not meet this issue while at 344 but upgrade to 370(stay rooted), tried stop ric or ensure the etc/install-recovery.sh with 'system/bin/stop ric', not work. Please let me if u could have suggestion instead of back to 344
thanks!

Unlocking bootloader makes this bug disappear.
Carved in this thread with my RAZR HD

Can anyone provide the same firmware for US version of SGP312?

CWM zip don't work over a cm build.. I get cod 6 when I try to flash that..

I guess u need to flash doomlords stock kernel first.

you should put Japanese version in the topic, like everyone else does, who posts firmware files. Otherwise it confuses people and some migh unintentionally flash your update on a tablet from another country and lose all their local apps and settings

[Q] Why I can't update firmware? Help me understand this

Hello there. I've been searching for any info about the firmware updates and its relation with operators, regions, etc. Yet, layman in the subject as I am, I can't completely understand this simple question: "Why can't I update my firmware to the last one?"
I'm stuck at .257 and tried both PC Companion and OTA update method. My device always says I'm up to date. First I though the last firmware (2.245) wasn't availabe to my country (Brazil, btw), but when I checked the Sony brazilian page, written in my native language, it said that 2.245 was the last one and availabe, but I simply can't update to this version.
So, any of you guys can help me understand why this is happening? Might be a problem with my device? Perhaps something related to my operator?
And the last, but maybe the more important atm: For a common user like me, who don't care much about pictures and want to root the phone just to move apps to SDcard and hide on-screen button bar, worth updating to the last firmware?
Thanks in advance. Also sorry for any bad grammar.

Sometimes if phone was brought through airtime provider they need to add or subtract apps to new update. You can use tools like flashtools to flash ftf files to your device without worry of breaking/bricking etc as you can change the language from within the settings.
I would always root the phone no matter what the phone can can't do as you can add/delete what you want. To root follow doomlords tut found on dev pages of Sp forum.
I am of the mind set the more up to date the better,if you don't like you can always reflash a older ftf file.
Hope this helps

Oh... Thats good news! Now I only need to know exactly the right order of the things. Correct me, please.
1 - Root 257
2 - Flash 245
3 - Root again?
I'm pretty new at this things, I'm aware of a large number os tutos here, but just want to be sure about the order of steps I must take. Thanks for your attention.

yes, but
1.5 - install cwm for locked bootloader and there's no need to root again (in fact as of yet 245 cannot be rooted directly)
Just to echo what has been said, the roll out for updates can take a while, Sony releases to regions at different times and then each operator in the region has to allow the update

If you follow the how to root guide for 2.245 by doomlord you are only flashing the kernel not the whole ROM.
When you start up flashtools just spend a few moments to familiarise yourself with it,if you have never used before.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium

Thanks for the asnwers.
I just gor a bit confused with this "1.5" step. From what I understand, I should follow and old 257 root guide, install CWM, then flash the 2.245 (Via this CWM? Sorry if I'm saying something nonsense), then I'm done? I don't get the CWM thing. Anyway, thanks for the tips.

It depents how you want to nake.
First metod tft:
1 download. 245 tft file.
2 flash using flashtool.
Now you got official 245 software.
If you want to you can root using method for .245 firmware.
Second method CMW.
1 root your phone using. 257 method.
2 instal CMW.
3 download any zip firmware.
4 instal by CWM.
Now don't want to root or root working - flash. 245 kernel using flashtool.
You want root - use root method for. 245 no need to flash 257 kernel just run exploit.
Hope that will explain roughly what to do.
Good luck.

Flashing for C5302 you can loose 4g connection as Indian phones don't have 4g.
Last things flashing firmware wipes you Rom so remember to backup.

Is that (http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/) the right tool?
The sp isnt listed in da support list.
And I read "This flash tool can only be used by Xperia™ devices having an unlocked boot loader. Please note that your phone still stays unlocked, and that the warranty may still be voided." on the official homepage"
My bootloader isnt unlocked
Think I found it " Xperia Flasher by blind4ry".
Can u tell me, how I have to connect the phone? In Flash mode or normal mode? Debugging on or off?

ROOT for 4.3?

Any root available for 4.3 that does not involve downgrade of firmware?
Like the 360 root or Vroot that i just "plug and play"

You will he aware when root is available but at the moment nothing along them lines for 4.3 is been done/confirmed working
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Think unlock recovery, install custom cwm, flash latest supersu should work though

also possibl when OTA updates starts popping up mybe updating OTA might keep root from .257 if you had it rooted...
but no one tried it yet, i'm waiting for OTA personally.

i tried with kingo... but a message say that want install mtk camera, maybe is the exploit for root.. but i stop the installation

lol... the new firmware has not even been out for a full day and people are already asking for various things... let the devs play with it a little.. geez....

What I know will be released soon a rooted firmware .290 Android 4.3. So stay tuned, when come out just update and done.

I've created rom for recovery with root and recovery, root works, but root file managers can't mount system for write but titanium works fine

Fully Rooted Firmware with Android 4.3 was released today!
