hi guys,
im in need of the .ftf for my c6606. i have searched everywhere and cant find a damn thing for the 10.5.a.1.283 firmware. before my phone officially got the update for KK i decided to flash the customized firmware and it changed my phone to c6616. when trying to restore my phone it says that there is no firmware to download in pc companion. the reason i want to start fresh is my phone has issues with mobile data sometimes and even on wifi, data just wont load.
thanks guys
Follow part 2 of my guide to package your own FTF using Flashtool. Just make sure your installed version of Flashtool is up to date.
Once you've done it, you can share it in the general section to help others looking for it.

Thanks for the reply. I want to flash the baseband that is for the c6606. By doing it that way would there be any issues? Or should I just root the phone and change things in the build prop so that it says it's a c6606 and hopefully it will update that way

Just try what he said,i did that yesterday and all went well,just see if you do it right!
So after trying a few firmwares I had issues with phone kept restarting. So I wiped everything and flashed back to the available c6606 firmware and got ota for 4.3 after that. Now that I'm on 4.3 it says I'm on the most up to date fw in PC companion and on phone. Sony website says most up to date is the .283 KitKat fw. Any reason why I can't update?

Simple, no
Don't accept any OTA firmware if you unlocked bootloader
You can update firmware via flashtool by downloading stock FTF firmware

Very good advice. Don't do OTA
If there is no ftf posted you can make one
Use PCCompanion and use the "repair" option. It will download the necessary files to flash your phone but will fail to flash because if your unlocked bootloader.
Then use flashtool to make the ftf from the downloaded files which ou can then flash in flashtool
the instructions on how to do this are in the all in one thread

Guys, I have a question Regarding Updating using PC Companion. I have Flashed another region's Stock FTF I think it is Russian Firmware 1272-4891.. because I can not find My regions Stock FTF. Im in the Philippines which the Customzation number should be 1272-4876.. Will it be a problem in the upcoming 4.3 update? TIA!

If you flashed via flashtool using a FTF, you will have to update the new firmware using PC companion.
For that you should be on locked bootloader with STOCK ROM and KERNEL. PC companion will automatically detect your phone and install the right firmware for you. However, if you use FLASHTOOL, you can just install any FTF for your phone.
However, make sure the baseband match your model to the one you are flashing!
Good Luck

Thanks! yes, I have flashed FTF using flashtool. And I am also already on locked bootloader. Do you mean even I am using russian firmware l, if I updated it it will automatically become PH firmware after? Is that what you mean by the right firware for me? Thank you

Whatever firmware you are using, you will easily update it to the same firmware using PC companion. In your case, you will still have Russian firmware when you update if update comes available.
I suggest find a World generic FTF and it will solve your problems in case you can not find PH firmware.
Good luck!

Yes that be great for you. It will certainly work! However, do remember the updates for different regions might come at different times so you might get it early or have to wait for it a bit!

Yes, my friend. I think when the .254 update it was 2days earlier on other region before it become available here. btw, it worked my friend. I will try to post my ftf file on the stock ftf if someone needed a PH firmware. Thanks again for entertaining my questions my friend. Goodluck too.
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.

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?

Hey guys i just bought Xperia Z1 C6903 on 4.2.2 Global-LTE_14.1.G.2.257 and i'm afraid to update it because some phones died after update, so how can i update it without any problems? please answer if you now dont just say maybe
THANKS!!!!
The phones died most of the time trying to root and downgrade. Just use Flashtool v0.9.13 and download the latest FW for your model from HERE, wipe Data, Appslog and Cache and all will be fine, or wait for OTA, but there is no difference.

Just use SUS or PC Companion. It is safe way to get updates for your Z1.

The point is if he do not have Updates or he do not have the latest update and want to update then he have to use Flashtool, anyway flash from PC Companion or with Flashtool there is no difference, they do the same thing.

It says he got global version so he should get latest updates through SUS or pc companion. From what I can see hes phone is not carrier locked with bloatware. Flashtool is best for every locked and unlocked versions. It just sounded like he is afraid of using it, and that was bases for suggestion to keep it safe...
yeah this is it , but do i lose my stuff using flashtool? Please if you can give me the .FTF file that suits my phone
I can now update using PC Companion but some people posted on the thread that their phone died from this
I pressed thanks for all of you

HERE you find all the FTF for your model, choose which you want. I will recommend a Unbranded one.
To keep Apps and Data just uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtool and you will not lose anything.
Hi.
I recently got a new Xperia Z1 and it was updated to 14.2.A.1.136 and was already android 4.3.
I want to root my phone and I have looked around the forums and here's what I did:
-I downloaded the .257 ftf for Z1 for SG
-I used Flashtool v9.14 and flashed the ftf to my phone.
My phone then went into bootloop.
I have managed to flash .136 back, but I want to know if rooting would be possible?

If you want to downgrade, make sure you wipe data. That will prevent device from bootloop.

Use .534 provided by NUT, if your Model is C6903.
One more question
Oh ok thanks!
One more question though: after rooting, then upgrading back to .290, do i have to use NUT's stripped ftf or can i use the generic ones?

Yes, you have to use the pre-rooted FTF provided by NUT, skip the part of upgrading to .290 and upgrade directly to .136 provided by NUT. Generic ones are Stock only and you will lose Root and Recovery if you will ever attempt to flash them.

But.534 is not available for SG...
If that is not significant, can you give me the link?

Ok...
So i followed the instructions from NUT over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628185
I have gotten TWRP on my phone.
However, at the 5th step, despite switching the phone to power off as per instruction after flashing, it automatically starts and i get a bootstall.
Any advice or tips?
