I have a C6606 from T-Mobile, as anyone with this knows, T-Mobile is the only one that didn't get a KitKat update, its still on 4.3.
Can I run the official 4.4.4 update from the C6603 on this?
If I can just flash C6603 4.4.4 rev2 firmware on this, is it possible to use the 4.4.2 towelroot exploit as the 4.4.4 rev1?
The method I'm referring to is where you flash firmware 10.5.1.A.0.283 (4.4.4 rev1), then flash only the kernel from firmware 10.5.1.A.0.230 (4.4.2), use towelroot to root, then flash the 283 kernel back and enjoy 4.4.4 rooted and factory.
Does that still work with the latest firmware 10.5.1.A.0.292 (4.4.4 rev2)?
Do you made it?
I have the same phone and I want to do the same, it worked?
some how i don't think this will work... Does the C6606 have the exact same hardware?

just flashed C6906 14.2.A.0.290 Generic CA 1276-7484_R2B then did an update to 4.4.2 via pc companion. I however am not rooted
Now I am hoping to obtain root in a 4.2 firmware then update to kitkat but am a little iffy which firmware will work when trying to update up to 4.4.
anyone have experience on kitkat coming from C6906 14.1.G.2.257 Generic CA 1276-7484_R7A, and does root work?
Thanks in advance

You will never retain root while updating through PC Companion

Hi,
Is my understanding correct that if I upgrade my C6606 (TMO US) to C6603 kitkat firmware - I will loose LTE support? If it's the case will it work if I update the firmware but keep c6606 baseband firmware?

Download 6603 KK 4.4.4 FTF
Flash it using flashtool just exclude baseband and uncheck data wipe

For downgrade to the last version of KK just flash the .157 ftf via flashtool
And there is instruction topics for using flashtool and rooting
I have a stock (Unrooted or anything) Xperia Z (C66003) branded from my network here in the uk 3/Three which is running 5.0.2 but everytime I search for an update it says i'm up to date.
I know I can get 5.1 on my device so what can i do to update to it?
Cheers
In Flashtool there is XperiFirm. Download 5.1.1 ftf and flash it. I usually flash Central Europe 1, it's not branded and have less bloatware.
Good Luck.
Xperia M2 D2303 on LP 5.1.1

Thanks very much, I never knew of Flashtool before but just finished flashing Central Europe 1 now as my carrier doesn't have the latest version.
Seems to have went ok although just at the Android is upgrading screen, but happy to be on 5.1 finally not that there was anything wrong with 5.0.2 for me but nice to upgrade.
Cheers
