Hi everyone !
I wanted to try a custom ROM but now I'd like to get back to stock experience. I flashed the stock firmware 10.5.A.0.230 with Flashtool successfully but now I can't update my phone through PC Companion or the phone's settings pannel. PC Companion tells me I have a modified software on my phone.
Is there a way I can reset my phone so it can get updates from PC Companion again and not only through Flashtool ?
Thanks for your answers, Lucas.

I made a flashtool to my Vodafone Xperia Z to a stock Rom and worked. But now I can't received no PC Companion updates and the OTA gives me an error (when the Android starts updating). No root, no mods, and unlock bootloader shows "yes" on settings. but I don't think it is.
Thanks a lot for yor help

I reinstalled pc companion and hard reset, but never tried Emma flash tools, I guess it needs unlocked bootlader and don't think I have it. Will it harm the phone if I try, anyway? Thanks

Had the same problem. You have to relock the boot-loader. It's not possible with PC Companion if i'm not mistaking. Just flashing a stock rom with Emma doesn't work either.
What you should do:
1) Download the flash tool
2) Launch the flashtool
3) Click BLU in the left upper corner
4) Connect device in Flash mode
5) Save the unlock code
6) Press relock
Now you can do the update!
Good luck
Thanks

Hey guys i just bought Xperia Z1 C6903 on 4.2.2 Global-LTE_14.1.G.2.257 and i'm afraid to update it because some phones died after update, so how can i update it without any problems? please answer if you now dont just say maybe
THANKS!!!!
The phones died most of the time trying to root and downgrade. Just use Flashtool v0.9.13 and download the latest FW for your model from HERE, wipe Data, Appslog and Cache and all will be fine, or wait for OTA, but there is no difference.

Just use SUS or PC Companion. It is safe way to get updates for your Z1.

The point is if he do not have Updates or he do not have the latest update and want to update then he have to use Flashtool, anyway flash from PC Companion or with Flashtool there is no difference, they do the same thing.

It says he got global version so he should get latest updates through SUS or pc companion. From what I can see hes phone is not carrier locked with bloatware. Flashtool is best for every locked and unlocked versions. It just sounded like he is afraid of using it, and that was bases for suggestion to keep it safe...
yeah this is it , but do i lose my stuff using flashtool? Please if you can give me the .FTF file that suits my phone
I can now update using PC Companion but some people posted on the thread that their phone died from this
I pressed thanks for all of you

HERE you find all the FTF for your model, choose which you want. I will recommend a Unbranded one.
To keep Apps and Data just uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtool and you will not lose anything.
Hi,
I have a Z1 C6903, rooted with unlocked boot loader running stock rom 4.4.4 with Trinity 2.9 Kernel.
Current SW 157, which I flash using Flashtool ( C6903_14.4.A.0.157_SG.ftf ) from SW 133.
When plugged in PC Companion says update available 14.4.A.0.157, yet I am on the latest version.
Weirder still , says my phone is currently on 133. :silly:
If anyone has a similar problem or a fix please help.
Attached screenshots...

If your root and phone is asking for update.. Wait for the developer to get the update done.
Long story short, sent my phone away for warranty repair and it came back with 4.2.2 flashed on it. Never rooted it or modded it in any way. I wanted to update it back to 4.3 and from there eventually back to 5.1, however, the phone says that it's up to date - same thing with PC Companion. Tried to repair it via PCC and I also did a factory reset on it, both to no avail.
Is there any way to force the OTA update(unless I have to wait for X days) or is rooting and flashing the only way out of this? C6093, build 14.1.G.1.534, cust. no. 1276-1193.
Thanks in advance.

I am on mobile at the moment and hope
my search went correct. then you are on a branded swedish firmware from tele2.
Where are you from and what firmware was on your phone before you gave it to repair?
You can flash any firmware you want with the help of flash tool app.

Thanks for the flashtool tip, I unlocked the bootloader and used Sony's Emma flashtool to flash it back to 5.1.1.
Thanks again!

You didn't have to unlock your bootloader to flash a firmware to your phone!
Did you backup your ta partition because unlocking your bootloader means you will loose your DRM keys?
