Hello everyone,
Here you can find all FTF files for the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact:
== SGP611 (Wifi 16GB) ==
- 23.0.1.A.0.167: Xperia Tablet Z3 compact - SGP611 - FTF files
== SGP612 (Wifi 32GB) ==
== SGP621 (LTE 16GB) ==
- 23.0.1.A.0.167: Xperia Tablet Z3 compact - SGP621 - FTF files
== How To add Z3 Tablet Compact to Flashtool ==
- Download Flashtool device folder: SGP6XX folder
- Open Flashtool first (It checks online for new devices and erases the SGP6XX folder every time)
- unzip the device folder so you have this structure: C:/Flashtool/Devices/SGP6XX
- Flashtool recognises the SGP6XX now
Because of the automatic online check, it deletes the device folder each time and you have to add it again each time.

I've got the 23.0.1.A.0.167 firmware for unbranded UK that I'd like to share, but FlashTool doesn't recognise the SGP621 so I can't compile it. :\

Have you got a link to the flashtool not sure which one works with sgp621
Flashtool is downloadable here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
But the SGP6xx isn't currently supported, hence why I'm waiting for krabappel's device folder.

Ok. The new version of Flashtool (0.9.18.4) allows you to switch off the manual sync of Devices, so that will help us moving forward until your change is merged.
== SGP621 (LTE 16GB) ==
- 23.0.1.A.0.167: Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet (SGP621) - Customized UK FTF
- 23.0.1.A.0.167: Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet (SGP621) - O2 Pay Monthly UK FTF
I've not yet flashed one of these, they're simply pulled from XperiFirm and bundled with FlashTool, so usual "Use at your own risk" disclaimer applies. :good:

What is the customised firmware is that a uk simfree 621 firmware or has it been customised in any way how.
It's the only other UK firmware currently available on XperiFirm, so should be just the stock SGP621 UK

Hello guys! Sony has released a brand new flash tool for re-flashing stock firmwares to our Xperia devices. There's even no need to get ftf file with stock before, as the tool detects your device and downloads stock ROM for you.
Why I posted this here? To make developers' work easier and provide people simpler way to re-flash stock firmware. <---- STICKY THREAD REQUEST
What it exactly does:
Detects your device
Downloads the LATEST stock firmware for your device
Flashes the stock ROM
Requirements:
One of the supported devices
USB Cable
Unlocked device's bootloader (to unlock go HERE)
Supported devices:
Xperia arc S
Xperia arc
Xperia S
MORE SUPPORTED DEVICES SOON!
DOWNLOAD HERE!
OFFICIAL SONY ARTICLE
Here's how does the new tool work:

I mean if Sony make it possible to recover even if the DRM rights, when you do this procedure to return to the stock rom ... if in future releases of this program, could introduce this.

did this flash tool support linux ?

Easy way to downgrade...
I should have read the instructions more carefully before using this tool. I have been unable to upgrade my Arc S ever since I unlocked it and thought this was a simple solution. Unfortunately I didn't read the details before I pressed the button. The string 4.0.2.A.62 is the build number, not the Android version. Now I downgraded to 2.3.4

sony ericson emma link, as i can se all forgot abot this
Well,now this will most definitely be handy for those new members with unlocked bootloaders and a quick fix to getting device working again if they are in trouble i. e. hung or bootloops etc.etc...
No more crying messages.
(Really gets on my nerve.Because its always stated beforehand about the risk if something goes wrong,they never read this or pretend not to understand)
Its a good customer support act by SONY.
So,they have not given upgrades to 2011 devices.But,maybe now,after seeing all the threads here something might change.
By the way,would this tool in anyway hinder existing flashtool by bin4ry/androxyde in any way?
Just curious.
Thank you SONY.

To install the flash tool, follow the steps below:
Download the Flash tool for Xperia devices.
Unzip the file you downloaded and place it somewhere on your computer.
In the unzipped folder, run Emma.exe. During the installation, make sure you remember the installation path:
Default path in Windows 64 bit is: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Default path in Windows 32 bit is: “C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Copy the Customization.ini file. You find it in the <Emma zip filename>.
Paste the Customization.ini file into the installation folder. The installation folder is the folder named Emma in the installation path examples on point 3.1 and 3.2 above.
Click Start > All programs > Sony Mobile > Emma (if you used the default installation path from step 3 above) to start the flash tool

Strange...
If you're a newbie and don't know what to do to get your phone updated, here are the simple steps you should take:
Preparation:
- Install PC Companion which can be found on Sony websites.
- You are strongly advised to backup your data such as contacts, messages, bookmarks using PC Companion or apps (e.g My backup).
- Install Flash tool (Link here) and follow the instruction on that site.
- Download FTF file for the JB rom using either link below:
* http://josenoguera.es/ftf/LT29i_9.1.B.0.411_Global.ftf (thanks to hejosetree for the source file)
* http://www.4shared.com/file/_MCaxajs/lt29i_91b0411_global.html (a mirror by me)
* http://www.fshare.vn/file/T1ZRSD1QCT (Vietnamese host mirror by me)
Make sure your phone has at least 50%+ battery to avoid unexpected errors
Installation:
A. If the PC Companion on you PC can detect new firmware, you should let it update the phone for you.
B. If it doesn't detect any new firmware, you can use Flash tool (flash the FTF file you had downloaded)
Note: After the install, many people have reported that when you reboot the phone, it will appear a white triangle icon. Don't worry, just leave it be with power cord on, it will settle itself.
Rooting:
Go here and download the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v25" (remember to thank Bin4ry)
How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Connect your device then Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
When asked which mode you want to use, choose Mode 3 (Goroh_kun mode)
4.) Choose superuser instead of supersu since it is reported that there's a problem with it.
Your phone screen will probably stays white for a long time (some phone will advance without this problem), just simply press the back button and check if it's already root.
Note: To fix NFC bug, use any Root file manager (e.g Root explorer, ES file explorer) to delete a folder name "usf" (located in /data/). Thanks to goroh_kun.
Done.
Installing CWM:
You then need to install CWM in order to flash those useful Mods out there.
Go here and follow instructions
Now you're reeeeeady!
Added mods:
- Since the stock notification bar is very ugly, you can use this mod to make it more handy:
Visit [PORT][T, TL, TX,V][JB] SO-02 DoCoMo Status Bar v3 & Task Switcher [27/03]
task switcher will not display small apps, please make a back up of systemui.apk, systemui.odex, TaskSwitcher.apk in order to revert the mod.
Also, these 2 mods are tested on TX by me and are compatible
[Theme/skin] PhoneBook and SemcPhone dialer v1.2 [updated 27/3/13]
MOD][T,TL,TX,V][JB] Sony Home Launcher Black Edition [27/03]
Not compatible at the moment:
[MOD] Reduced size onscreen buttons [SOFTKEYS] [ICS & JB] [Xperia T - TX - V]
You should also visit the ALL IN ONE thread for more useful information about our device
Credits:
- Bin4ry (Root)
- goroh_kun (NFC fix)
- Gregbradley (ALL IN ONE Thread)
- People involved with CWM for our TX
- thejosetree (for the FTF file)
- And Authors for those Mods

So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 12.0.A.2.245 / 254!
Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!
once again thanks to all the users who donated this device to me!

[ NOTICE ]
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA SP (C5302/3) FW 12.0.A.2.245 / 254!
DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER VARIANT/FIRMWARE!
[ sources & additional info on exploit ]
check out this thread
[ how-to ]
Download the three files from the download section below
open FlashTool and flash the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.78 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
after rooting is over the device will restart
you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
now flash XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.254_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB OR XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.245_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB (depending on your firmware) file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

[ info ]
So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 12.0.A.2.245!
Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!
once again thanks to all the users who donated this device to me!
[ proof ]
[ NOTICE ]
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA SP (C5302/3) FW 12.0.A.2.245!
DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER VARIANT/FIRMWARE!
[ sources & additional info on exploit ]
check out this thread
[ how-to ]
Download the three files from the download section below
open FlashTool and flash the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.78 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
after rooting is over the device will restart
you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
now flash XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.245_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

Good job DooM!

These are .ftf files which must be flashed with flashtool. I use it for decrypting and creating them, then I share. Just in case you're wondering why there are more /03 firmwares than /02, it's simply because I didn't find a reliable method for downloading them. Of what I know, model doesn't seem to be checked in build.prop. Even when I flash a /02 FW on my /03 device, it's still identified as a /03 by PCC.
If you want to know your firmware customization, type the following at the stock dialer : *#*#7378423#*#* > Service info > Software info. See the customization thread for more details.
Type : stock unbranded generic

FAQ :
Q : You said stock ?
A : "Stock" means original, unmodified. In other words, you'll obtain what PCC / SEUS would have provided you while doing a regular update. The only difference is that you can do a flash at anytime without waiting.
Q : Are they official ?
A : Absolutely. Basically PCC / SEUS download firmwares in 5 generic files. And here comes Flashtool. It's used for decrypting the files contents and assembly the all into one usable file. The .ftf file is the result of that process.
Q : Can I flash over a FW from a different version / origin ?
A : Yes. Whatever if you upgrade or downgrade, you may keep your datas, but the cache and applogs have to be wiped. Everything else must be overwritten for doing a clean flash (don't exclude system etc). If you experience force closes, freezes or instant reboots, a factory reset should fix, so you'll still lose your datas.
Q : Once done, when and what type of updates will I get ?
A : Generic global updates, which are usually released before branded firmwares. It mainly depends on their availability on Sony's servers, meaning it may vary from region to region according to their policies.
Q : Can I flash one of them on a C5502/03 ?
A : I've experienced it and can confirm that both models can be flashed with C5502/03 firmwares. They seem to be the same, except for the fact that you won't get 4G features if a /03 fw is flashed over a /02 mobile, of course. But be advised, I it will replace the software informations, showing you that it's a C5503 if you flashed over a /02 device. This have some chances to brick the device in future, if Sony deploys major updates which won't suit for your device (so you'll probably receive wrong updates). These are suppositions.
Nice, thanks! Is it the stock ROM though?
ahhhh great. just what i needed without all those extra regional bloatware. tks!
Of course, full stock untouched. It should be worldwide compatible.

I've read that C5503 FWs can be flashed on C5502. They seem to be the same, except for the fact that you won't get 4G features, of course. I can't confirm this, so it's up to you to test. But be advised, i believe this FW will replace the software informations, showing you that it's a C5503. Also if it's confirmed, this have some chances to brick the device in future, if Sony deploys major updates which won't suit for your device (so you'll probably receive C5503 updates instead of C5502 ones). What we need to know, is if PC Companion reads informations from softwares or the hardware. If it's by hardware, no queries at all, so the next update might probably fix C5503 infos by overwriting with C5502 ones. All of these are supositions.

probably because I had the ncb fw (.310) previously for being able to root. But in software infos it's specified as Generic global.

Step 7: Delete the vendor folder found in the Xperia Z Rom and replace it with the vendor folder copied from your Xperia ZR Mobile.
Step 8: Make the modified folder as a flashable zip.
Step 9: Copy the modified zip into your Phone's SDCard and boot into recovery.
Step 10: Wipe data in CWM and then flash the modified ROM zip file.
Flashing zip will take some time and then reboot the Phone. 1st boot will take long time. Be patient until it reaches home screen.
You have customized ROM in your Xperia ZR
Sorry for My bad English
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY CAUSE YOUR DEVICE. If any thing goes wrong, it means you didn't follow the instructions correctly.
If phone doesn't boot flash your Xperia ZR firmware using flashtools

All the issue/bugs found in the ROM will exists when flashed in Xperia ZR
To fix Rotation / Auto rotate issue:
Navigate to \system\etc\sensors.conf and verify that the following value matches with your sensors.conf file, if not change it to the given value.
you can edit this file while creating the flashable zip or even after flashing the ROM
# Setup accelerometer axis
bma250input_axis_x = 0
bma250input_axis_y = 1
bma250input_axis_z = 2

For me too it didn't worked initially. So only I told to replace Xperia ZR vendor folder into the ROM folder. This will fix the camera issue.
And for Rotation issue, I forgot to update in OP.

I have some changes for this ：
Step 7: Delete the vendor folder found in the Xperia Z Rom and replace it with the vendor folder copied from your Xperia ZR Mobile.
(only need the vendor/camera folder to fix camera)
and copy ZR system/app/SemcIllumination.apk of your phone to XZ rom system/app to fix light.
and it works on .569 JB4.3

Actually there is no customized ROM like honami/z1 or modified or tweaked ROM for our Xperia ZR. So using this guide we can use the customized Xperia Z ROM in our mobile.

Yes. Me to on locked boot loader only. But for the stock based ROM we need not necessary to port kernel cause Xperia Z and ZR both has same firmware so can flash it without changing kernel.
Note: if you are in android 4.1.2, don't flash 4.2.2 ROM of Xperia Z cause you will end up with boot loop.
