Hello friends,
I'm currently use a Sony Xperia Z1 with the iHackers 3.0 ROM and kernel.
Also I've rooted my phone and have an unlocked boodloader.
My question: Can i return to an original Sony ROM and kernel with updates from Sony?
When yes, how?
With kind regards,
Flashbot
Download stock rom and flash it via flashtool.

Thats all? Then i can receive the updates form Sony again an can i use Sony pc companion?
What do i with the kernel?
Stock firmware will flash stock kernel.
If you have to backup you can also lock bootloader.
And yes, after that you can install anything from PCC

I have a question related to this topic.
I had Doomlord`s custom kernel v21 with root and unlocked bootloader.
Im trying to revert back to stock rom and kernel via flashtool and generic nordic rom.
Flashing goes alright but after flashing when i try update my phone either OTA or trough pc companion they both failed.
pc companion says that i have modified sony and i guess it same with OTA update.
Should i do something also, because i thought flashing with stock rom should revert all but bootoader back to original.
Thanks in advance.
You cannot use OTA or Pccompanion with an unlocked bootloader,
You should flash the latest version FTF using flashtool

Please follow the instructions precisely
You must downgrade to ICS version 303 in order to use that method. Then upgrade following the method to keep root
Thanks for reply
OK by this way you mean that I'm going too lose my data

I dont think so, but you can back it up in Titanium Backup anyway and restore it later
Do you have any idea why the backups & restore stop app working ? And can you tell me more about downgrade.

Because Sony closed that loophole.
Downgrade to 303 using flashtool
Root using bin4rys method
Install CMW
Flash a pre rooted JB rom (Mine for example)
Before rebooting flash a JB kernel.
Sorry I forgot to tell you my bootloader is locked is this safe..?

Yes. You will have to flash a stock JB kernel then.
Do it in flashtool by flashing a stock JB ftf and exclude everything except kernel.
And please can you give full tutorial..

The search button at the top right of your screen will help.
Just type into it "Root many android by bin4ry"
That will tell you how to do it.

Firmware 7.0.A.3.195 can not be rooted.You should downgrade firmware or upgrade to jellybean then choose option 3 in bin4ry`s method.

Simple. Custom rom doesnt same as stock roms which is from OEM, PCC using specific program to detect phones..Happened in my previous phone using custom roms. Using flashtool to flash stock rom will solve your prob.

Allright, I wanted to do this last week. The way i did it was quite simple.
Back-up TA partition!!
Flash stock Android 4.3 (flashtool). Ftf file.
Unlock bootloader (flashtool or fastboot (official way) )
Flash recovery (flashtool (fastboot didnt work)
Open recovery and flash recovery again also flash superuser in cwm this time)
Flash rom (cwm)
Flash gapps (cwm)
(ill see if i can find some links later on)

Nope. C6606 is locked bootloader. That method will not work.

ah well then I don't know @DarkLP if the bootloader = locked, your pretty much screwed when it comes to cyanogenmod or any other non stock related mod.
the T-mobile version is a regular 6603 in the Netherlands btw

Hello,
It's about this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-ultimate-purexz-v1-t2759467?nocache=1
is it possible to flash this rom via flashtool only or do i need recovery to flash this rom. Now i'm on 4.4.2 .230 stock without root an cwm/twrp. Last time i manually updatet my xperia to the newest rom, which was the 4.4.2, i just flashed the stock rom over the existing rom. After that i did a factory reset.
Thanks a lot for help
