OMG! It seems we're gonna have many problems with this firmware version. Yesterday, after flashing the new 4.4.4 via Odin, I wanted to reinstall it for twice, and PC Odin brings me FAILED in step SetupConnection. Then, I tried to do a Downgrade to 4.3, getting the same error. I don't know what's happening but I don't wanna be stuck in this firmware forever!
Please, can anyone lend a hand?

most probably we won't be able to downgrade as it was 4.3->4.1, so we can't 4.4->4.3 due to some bootloader changes
I think you'd have to wait until 4.4.4 for non-N model is released as odin package

of course I don't know how risky it could be with new bootloader, but keeping in mind that people downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1 using mobile odin (no bootloader change) it could be worth trying

wanam xposed can fake the system status, but I don't know if it'd work in this particular case
anyway, full odin package for 4.4 non-N appeared, so no need to tamper at 4.3 DBT just to be able to update anymore http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/34084/Galaxy_S_3_LTE/GT-I9305/DBT/I9305XXUFNI3.html

Flash Stock Sony Firmware on to carrier locked phone

Hey guys,
I have one or two questions I cant seem to find a definitive answer for.
I currently have a Z1 locked to my local O2 network. They still haven't release any updates past 4.2.2.
I was wondering would it be possible to flash a Sony Stock Factory Image so that future OTA updates would come from Sony and not through my carrier?
I was looking at this ROM here. So Root the phone, flash the ROM and then remove root.
Some might say why not root, unlock etc. but the to be honest I have done my fair share of trying different ROM's on different phones, throughout the years and I just love how stable the phone is and how good the battery life is that I just don't want to mess around with it too much.
Dave
You already messing around. That link which you posted is a method to root your phone and if you do not want to root it then is not the right thread. To update your phone to latest FW you have to flash the Unbranded Firmware .136 for your model from HERE
Use flashtool v0.9.13 to do that, wipe everything and you are done. This is for Locked Bootloader and you will also get next Updates when they comes.

Yes, it's simple because you just want the latest Firmware only, No Root, No Unlocked Bootlader.
One last question, if I flash the latest UK version which is .290 will I receive OTA or PC Companion updates as soon as .136 is out for the UK version?

[Q] Custom Recovery & OTA

Hello to the great people at xda..
Sorry for being a noob about it but i have certain questions about my c6902. First off my Z1 is rooted with the build number .157 with the stock os and the stock recovery. As of now i have been getting all OTAs without a problem. However, i would like to know what would happen if i install a custom recovery. Will it stop the OTAs? If yes, then which OTAs will it stop? Will it stop just the system OTAs or the application OTAs as well like walkman album etc.? Or will i just be able to see the available updates but would never be able to install them? And how can i revert back to the stock recovery? Would it make everything just as the way it was before with no strings attached? Sorry again for such a basic though as i couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Thanks a ton!

if your bootloader stays locked, you CAN recieve OTA updates, but if you rooted with towelroot (i expect that because your an .157, like me ) you wont be able to apply system OTA updates cause they can not be verified. but OTA updates for Walkman or other apps will work.
Only the system updates are broken with the towelroot method. but of course you can install a custom recovery to revert to stock recovery, just flash the ftf with flashtool again and you have your stock recovery back (but make shure to untick the wipe boxes in flashtool

Thanks a lot for the info . So I get what you're saying and 'tis true that I'm rooted with towel root. So that means that I won't be able to install system OTAs and that's ok. Also you already have been very helpful but would you be kind enough to please send me a link for the stock recovery's ftf? Have you successfully tried doing the same on 157?

There isnt a "recovery ftf", you have to flash the whole ftf all over it again and than you have stock recovery back
and yes i did the same on .157, i flashed this Baltic version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetRjFOYkZib0Z1Y1k/view?usp=sharing the baltic version works fine for me too, im from germany but i guess it should work (at least for european users) if you are not from europe, just flash .108 or .133 and update and root

Ok.. But what if I do a full system repair using the pc companion? Would it do the same thing? Also, would pc companion have any problems detecting or repairing the phone with the custom recovery installed?

Pc companion works too, but the system repair from pc -c will wipe your data! So all your data is lost.
With flashtool youcan decide if you want to keep your data or to do to a wipe

Can't install OTA update

Hey, so my phone was on a custom ROM for some time now and I just recently went back to stock by flashing an .ftf file with FlashTool.
Since I wanted to go very sure that I take the right file to flash, I chose one with the firmware version 12.1.A.0.266 because I didn't find a newer one, I trusted, thinking I could update it to 12.1.A.1.207 via Update Center then. The flashing process went flawless but the thing is that I couldn't update my phone.
I go into the Update Center, click on download (it's the newest 12.1.A.1.207 firmware) and afterwards on install. The phone shuts down and for 4 or 5 seconds the screen shows the normal animation it always shows, when updating firmware.
After these 4 or 5 seconds it reboots normally and I get the alert that installation is not possible. I tried it a hundred times via PC Companion as well but it always says that I have modified software and it can't be updated.
I also reset my phone thinking this could solve the issue but it didn't and now I don't know what to do. I don't really want to flash an .ftf file again because I'm always a bit anxious when flashing something.
If you have an idea on how to solve my problem I'd be very thankful
Anyone?

Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

The Original was the one which came with it, and it was going mad, 0%, 65% 97% 15% off , back on etc.
Then I ordered one off Ebay and it doing same, it is Chinese brand I would think.
The problem I got is, I flashed the XT890 back when the EU version was the only GB closest, since no GB version of 4.4.2.
Now when I try RSD Lite to reflash or go back to 4.1 it fails.
I had a folder with the Items back from 2013 or 2104 maybe, but can't remember the process and so I need to Unroot?
I have tried putting FW on SD but it fails there too.

Hello you could a have a look at this thread about your battery issue,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198774
What i have learned is that you can not downgrade the firmware if it is older than the current software on the phone.
So if you have android KITKAT 4.4.2. you cannot flash to jellybean or ice cream sandwich and they are the only firmwares available at the firmware centre.
If you have a unlocked bootloader it is possible to reflash downgraded firmware but do so at your own risk !
Have you tried the Motorola app called Smart Actions for battery ?
You could try to intstall this firmware software from your SD card, using TWRP,
Blur_Version.990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.EU.zip?dl=0

When you said early in the post that you have changed the firmware on the system motherboard (The problem I got is, I flashed the XT890 back when the EU version was the only GB closest, since no GB version of 4.4.2.) how did you flash the phone with KITKAT EU ? did you do it with system menu OTA update via the internet ? or did you flash it with firmware from a file downloaded from the internet ?
I think the problem will be the firmware that you installed because when you flash firmware you need the serial number from under the battery or where the number is located to get the right version of software for the phone.
It has to be the same or newer for it to work properly, or the phone to operate correctly.
So you could only downgrade the phone to the original stock rom firmware for it to operate and function correctly.
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked ? because with a locked bootloader you will not be'able to downgrade to original stock rom firmware. With locked, the firmware is stuck as it is unless it is original stock rom on the system motherboard which you can easy reflash with RSD lite recovery software.

It has to be the same or newer for it to work properly, or the phone to operate correctly.
So you could only downgrade the phone to the original stock rom firmware for it to operate and function correctly.
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked ? because with a locked bootloader you will not be'able to downgrade to original stock rom firmware. With locked, the firmware is stuck as it is unless it is original stock rom on the system motherboard which you can easy reflash with RSD lite recovery software.

It would have been from this Thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/help/qa-razr-xt890-4-4-2-eu-ota-update-t3094784
I asked at the start here, what is the Process, as all I remember is, I got the files from here back 2015 by the looks.
Then either updated by RSD or put on SD and done it.
Since mine is a GB phone, there was no GB version and I had to use the EU one.
I have no clue now if I locked or unlocked it.
I had to boot up my old XP machine and it had all the Adb and Moto files in one folder. but none of those files seem to work, eventhough RSD shows my Phone on USB on the XP machine, but not on the Win10 machine I have now.
I retried RSD and I took out a few lines from the xml and it bricked my phone.
I did recover it and the onlything that seemed to have changed was the baseband.
How can I Downgrade or reflash the FW?

Is there no way to put the Original FW on or Reflash?
I have just got the Unlock Bootloader info and applied it.
I just need to reflash the right FW or go back to 4.1 ?

I managed to get to CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU and it has gone back to 4.1.2
It see's CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml on my SD as an Update, not sure why?
Is it not the same?
Since doing this, my battery only lost 60% in 2 1/2 days.
Clearly either the FW got bugged or an App was doing something.
I have installed a Security software and it came up with phishing warning, but how would I know if that was true with that FW version?

Hi the firmware should be fine with no issues and you installed Jellybean 4.1.2 european version, my phone is the same as yours but with KITKAT 4.4.2. and the battery discharges about the same. Install eset security from google play store or any other website, and install DU Battery Saver Pro and other DU software for android, these are all available at the google play store and you should have no problems with the battery.

Mine is 4,4.2 also.
It's why I was asking earlier about the two versions.
It seems to be working now.
