I have very similar problem as you can see in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350470
My SUS used to say you have the latest firmware and all you can do is click ok?
Which SUS do you recommend?

What do you mean "Which SUS" ? THE SUS? http://software.sonymobile.com/update_service_setup

Find any 434 firmware(but not UK unbranded ) and flash it with flashtool than boot your phone,after that use sus(sony update service) sure it will find a new software.

I thought the SUS Version may make a difference like how Flashtool has many versions but Thank you very much.

I flashed .307 Belgium as it was one I already had. Everything was working well however I had no Baseband and therefore no Signal and the phone wouldn't recognise my SIM card.
I then used SUS to update it and I am back to the same boot-loop as before.
Any ideas? Maybe I need to fix Baseband before updating but have no clue how to do that?

Hey bro I finally figured it out!! So after thinking about and wondering why baseband isn't working I realised it is because of missing IMEI.
Then I thought where would IMEI be stored; IN THE TA PARTITION!!
So what I did was:
1. Flash Belgium .307 with Flashtool.
2. Setup phone normally so that it is usable. Turn on USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
3. Then get DoomLords Root Toolkit; Plug in phone normally while it is on and run the kit so that it Roots the phone.
4. After that restarts make sure you have Super SU and it is working.
5. Connect to Flashtool while the phone is on and it will automatically run through the phone and tell you all the details of the phone and Busybox and Root Access Allowed and stuff.
6. Once all is well and you know phone is Rooted and stuff; close Flashtool and open Backup TA.
7. Then simply Restore your TA partition.
8. Reboot and check your Baseband Version and IMEI number are present and correct.
9. All should be working now; Really hope it works out for you too!
I will be trying to update and see what that leads to.
If you need links to any of the above stuff let me know. Will be glad to help you out.

Great ..!! u managed to get the baseband and IMEI back?

I have some old old version I guess but it is the only one that has never given me problems in backing up and restoring so long as my phone is rooted and busybox is installed. It has no version number or anything, its a really simple batch file.
I can pack it in a zip and sent it to you somehow if you need?

Don't restore using some else's TA partition, it has to be the original one for you phone. Another user tried this and it totally bricked the phone.

Sorry for wasting you time man. I know it is very frustrating not to get your device rooted. But it worked for me. I'll just try to do this again and let you know. Hope I'll not loose my root (fingers crossed).

Yeah it works great, I have tried it too but it comes with a cost of loosing some stock apps, installed apps and data. Wouldn't it be great if we can just do the OTA update without having to loose anything and also keep root?

Thanks for trying again, I'm starting to think that it's my phone or region's problem. I tried a lot of different methods but none worked.
Sad case for me...

Hmm, it turns out to be like this.
Once you are on 14.1.G.1.534,
1. Root it with VROOT, Install Super Su Pro, update binaries and enable survival mode*.
2. Reboot and unroot using VROOT and reroot then update Super Su binaries.
3. Repeat Step 2 twice.
4. Now try to do the OTA update.
Let please let me know if this didn't work. Thanks and good luck.

Hey if you really think that wrong place is the reason for sure, then try to connect to net via hotspot sheild vpn or some vpn you prefer and then download the OTA update, I know I'm just being stupid but just give it a try. To me it makes sense to some extent.

[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.

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.

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?
https://github.com/SonyAosp/vendor_qcom_firmware/tree/n/honami/C6903

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...
