[Q] Latest unbranded GR FTF - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people. I wanted to ask if anyone has the latest FTF for GR, unbranded. Reason why the other firmwares wont really help is i often have to write with Greek characters. The firmware i am currently using thinks of them as special characters, so limits my messages from 160 characters to 70. Please help, or if you cannot find the right FTF pm me with the way to remove the limit. Thank you in advance!
(PS. Sorry if someone has asked smthing like this, i searched but did not find anything)

Try using Central Europe firmware. It has no limitation to special characters.

Thank you for the reply!I can only find up to the .108 version. Has the .133 been released in central EU?

Use the XperiFirm software to check for and download the latest firmware version:

The .133 version is only for Branded phones (Vodafone, t-mobile and etc.). The lastest unbranded version is .108, so you should get that.

Bin4ry if you look in Ion general section there is a stock firmware thread that has all the released stock ftf files if you want to add those. Also in the XT section the thread mention above by gregbradley has more stock ft files.

Currently bin4ry cannot host branded firmware.
Are you able to use pccompanion? If you can and your phone was on 3 UK firmware you can create your own .ftf following the guide from the all in one thread. If you have any questions about doing that, ask in that thread or PM me.

Yes this is no problem, all Android Firmwares are multilingual, even the Software will automatically change the language to the SIM language So no worry you can even install arabic firmware and you will get DUTCH automatically when yours SIM is dutch

Question:
What's better of these two, I have a TL (AT&T) so I can not root the newer FW.
1.) 7.0.A.1.303 - ROOTED
2.) 7.0.A.3.195 - NOT ROOTED
Thanks.. looking for opinions please as I'm certain there are several others on AT&T who are wondering.

This is not the place for questions like this, but in brief the answer is that it's your choice. If you want system access you need root, if you don't need root then 195 is the latest fw therefore probably better..

You can root the AT&T FW and remove bloatware if you want without issue. As for the two you listed if you flash them you will lose LTE unless you exclude the baseband when flashing. The first one you will be able to root using Bin4ry's method the second one you will not be able to root at all since you have a locked bootloader and Bin4ry's method doesn't work on that firmware.
Thanks Spectre51, I understand the limitations and was wondering if going for the newer FW .195 was really worth loosing root on .303.

See the wiki for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Flashing_in_Windows
The 1969 thing is probably because somehow the time wasn't set properly, so it probably defaulted to -1 or something like that. Let 0 be the first of January 1970 (Unix epoch as Jacol82 said) and -1 is in December 1969

Im confused. we use pcc for updating, file managing, for backup, etc. my phone bought from Kuwait that was stock middle east version rom installed. a month ago while I was using a ram cleaner app my phone is hanged badly that was not recoverable. then I flashed a ftf file of 4.3 .266(dont know which country version). but after that my phone is laggy. now I want to move back original middle east version. thats why i want to download and manually flash middle east version of .201. I think its not possible by pcc, is it?
Possible. But your software customisation no. should be one of ME version in your phone (build.prop). But since you've flashed another ftf, it might have changed. So, you have to change to your original cust. no. in build prop ([highlight]need root for that[/highlight]) and then connect with PCC. It will download your original FW. Obviously you have forgotten that number.. so, have to find it out using your SI (sales item) no. [remove back cover and see/ or on the box]. Then go to following appropriate link for your phone model and do a "find in page" with your SI no. You may get several entries. In that you can find your orig. cust. no.

Check at sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. I am not 100% sure if there is JB for Cro. But you can use LQL - from Italy - if the phone is I9070. I use without any problem.
P.S. ONE IMPORTANT THING. Is your phone I9070 or I9070P? If it is I9070 you must flash I9070 firmware, and if it is I9070P you must flash I9070P firmware. If you use wrong one - phone will be hardbricked. Do not do anything before you become sure.
