Hi, I have a soft bricked 6903, but I am a little confused. The device is locked on Vodafone Romania, could somebody help me with finding out what FTF I am suposed to flash?
Edit: Forgot to mention, i was on PAC rom, flashed doomkernel in order to flash some other rom, aroma didn't launch and know it's soft bricked
first you need to know about your phone relegation.if Australian relegation Search on xda for Australian ftf
Just flash the pac rom kernel using fastboot

hello there xda users
i have recently bricked my phone and managed to reflash the firmware, but, i had to add the bootloader file with the split firmware package.
what i want to do is install the latest XXLD3 firmware on top of the current s5830ixxkk5/gingerbread.xxlk1 firmware package but im worried because i am thinking that the bootloader file has to be the same as the firmware if you know what i mean. can i install the xxld3 on the xxkk5 bootloader without bricking my phone again? any help would be appreciated. thanks

First of all this development section......
for queries u should have gone to other thread.......
As far as flash is concerned ....... i think u can... i am not pretty much sure but i think so.
but if u need a bootloader file go to unbrick tutorial of mine and download the package for unbrick... take the bootloader file from there..... its from xxld

Use ODIN flash YOUR stock rom csc/pda/modem to wait till it boots, after that go to download mode again and just flash pda of XXLD3 using ODIN again. For flashing you dont need the bootloader use ODIN 1.84. I change my WHLA1 to XXLA2 just by flashing the pda of xxla2
And by the way remember what feetsonfire said, this queries need to be on general section not in development
Hello,
I have an Xperia Z1 - C6906 with a locked bootloader from Bell Mobility in Canada, I am wondering if there is any ROMs that support this model, and if so is there any caveats that I need to be award of for this model when flashing something that isn't an officially released version.
Regards
I'm using Monxdified 4.2.2 version (not 4.3) on my Bell 6906, no problem at all. Just follow the instructions.

I keep seeing you need to flash the firmware and kernel for your model, that isn't separate/done after flash - you just flash with the official firmware and then exclude it in flashtool?
I don't think its really worth it in my mind. If flashing custom roms, especially kernals is something you want sell your locked z1 c6906 and opt for one directly from Sony.ca which will be fully unlocked. If we can ever get root on locked bl and 4.3 then you can just "trim off the fat" apps with titanium and make it alot lighter running. I'm in the same boat as you with a 6906 from Bell. Was totally unaware of the locked bootloader lockdown before I bought it and I am suffering the consequence now. 6906's are still going for anywhere from $500-550 locally here so I think I am going to put it up for sale.
Anyways, just thought id share my thoughts as I'm in the same situation as you.
Cheers

Yeah, what I did was downloaded .257 Canadian version and after I flashed monxified ROM in recovery I flashed Kernel and Baseband of canadian .257 version in flashtool.

I am currently on .290 unbranded (I flashed it previously), I don't have the option right now of selling or changing phones so I am stuck with the locked boot loader at the moment. I am wanting to flash Pure Stock so I can get rid of all the bloat.
However the instructions state that I need to be on .534 to get root and install recovery. A couple questions - a.) the only 906 version of .534 is branded Rogers - would this cause any issue with my Bell phone. b.) as I am on .290 with a locked boot loader is there any issue with flashing to an older version?

Nope no issues with Rogers .537 at all. I've been flashing that ftf all the time. However, I would suggest staying away from .290 ROMs for now, because my first Xperia Z1 got bricked badly with ihackers 2.0 (.290) ROM. I had to buy a new one until this gets fixed (cant stay without a phone). I'm enjoying .257 ROM (with full root access) at the moment and not looking to jump into Rooted .290 unless I'm %100 it wont brick my device again.
So I've been playing around the last week or so with my 6906, and a 6806....
I've been able to root and install the recovery easy enough on a the generic .534 build that is in the FTF thread. I believe it's the rogers one... So it does seem to pull some of the bell crap out... Putting the twrp backup data back on, gives me some of the apps back, but it doesn't seem quite as bad. At least you can then uninstall it if you don't want it. <G>
However, I've been trying to get up to the .290 builds that Nut has been providing. However, on every attempt I've been getting to a soft brick, when I use the flashtool to put the Kernel and baseband on.... Reflashing the .534 build at that point, gets me up and running again without any issue.
There is a generic 290, and new 132 build for the canadian 6906 that have been posted, but no root.... If you want stock and no mods.....
I haven't tried anything else at this point, since I'm still getting my feet wet.
Hey guys I hate to resurrect this thread but can you point me in the right direction on finding a stock Bell FTF. Even any old ones that I can upgrade to after. I tried a generic CANADA one but for some reason its still show as a US after a flashtool. I need to go back to stock to send my 9606 in for warranty and dont want them to blame the firmware for hardware issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Hello,
I just tried flashing XTL 3.0.1 rom for stock Xperia TL firmwares on my LT30at. Now it is stuck in a bootloop and I can't seem to find stock AT&T .ftf files anywhere. Could someone please help me out?
so i found the at&t firmware finally and got it out of the bootloop.
I flashed the wrong firmware on my xperia c6606 and now it is softbricked. I was looking the official firmware for the c6606. The firmware I had was the 10.4.C.0.814, and I cant find it in any of the forums on xda unless its in a zip format.
Use my guide to download it yourself using Flashtool - How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
Sent from my C6603
Ive read alot through all the forums(mostlyclooking for locked boots ader Roms) and I have the flash tool. I didn't know you could directly download ftf's from here. When I get back to my PC I'll let you know about my results. Also I have another question can I only flash c6606 ftfs or can I flashan ftf for a c6602/03 as well??

Update: saw a video on youtube. Forgot that I could download the official firmware from the flashtool directly. Everything is back in working order no problems whatsoever.
Got my Z1 the other day and flashed some firmware on it(cant remember which one) then rooted it, unlocked bootloader and flashed dual recovery to it and then flashed my rom. Rom worked fine etc but sim card was not detected because IMEI is 0.
I read up about this and followed a guide which involved flashing .290, then .257 and then after that to root the z1 and then flash .534 and then install recovery and then install my rom. This was supposed to 'fix' the imei problem but i've just finished flashing DU 5.1.1 and my IMEI is STILL missing and now I have no idea what to do next.
I want to run a custom rom but still be able to have simcard etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you have C6902, then you have to flash the corresponding fix, which is in Z1 threads. Search for it. If you have C6903, then either reflash your original ftf firmware with flashtool or flash C6903 baseband only from the same ftf (also with flashtool). If you can't find original firmware, just flash baseband for your type (C69XX). And next time, read about the firmware/rom you are flashing (and write it down) or you may brick your phone...
