Question is what will happen if I flash ftf for C5503 to C5502?
I have read for some other device that they had random bootloops and shut downs.
Can I expect the same, cause C5503 only has LTE as difference from C5502.
Also I'm not an engineer and I don't have big experience so maybe it is a very big difference
you can flash it, i actually have c5503 tft on my c5502 and no problems
I flashed ftf for 5.1.1 update that can be found here in general part of forum. I used flashtool and everything went fine...just now for model it says C5503
Will it make any problem?
everything works fine on my part

Guys, what do you think, will i be able to flash Japan version of Z by international version of f/w ?
If you're talking about official FTF firmwares then no. And if you're talking about flashable zips through recovery then yes(if you can unlock the bootloader).
No, i`m talking about official FTF. Do you really think that i couldn`t flash FTF from C6603 mobel to SO-02E phone ?
First of all, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader, even if you happened too, then you would need to flash the international version f/w followed by the docomo f/w else it would behave weird.
When you flash the international f/w, you must select only the kernel or system.img (only) and then you must exclude that component while flashing the docomo f/w. This is the way to get root on docomo phones, unless some hack or vulnerability discovered to root it..
Previously I had Xperia Acro S from Japan and this how I got root on it..

i know this is an old thread but just in case anyone is wondering - the answer is "yes" you can flash international .ftf files (C6603) to the SO-02E and it works fine. i know because i do it myself.

When downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, you need to wipe all data or it won't work. Why do you need the 'Generic US' firmware anyway? Does it contain any special features which you need and which are not available in 'Generic TW'? It's the worst customization when it comes to updates..
it doesn't have any special features, i don't knowt what in Generic TW firmware have. I just worry that if i flash other region firmware i won't get update over the air later. and i think the original firmware is good for me.

Today, Generic US has been updated to 10.3.A.0.423. You don't need an FTF to flash this firmware. Just follow this guide to change your customization number to 1271-0119 and install the update with Sony PC Companion: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

LTE firmware is for C6603. The C6602 contains different hardware and has no LTE support. If you flash firmware for the wrong device, you might get connectivity problems and you will no longer receive any software updates from Sony (because they check the first 8 digits of your IMEI number, which is different for C6602 and C6603).
I just updated to 10.3.A.0.423 last night using a FTF I made from PC Companion. Posted here in case anyone needs it

Just noticed that using C6603 firmware for my C6602 phone wasn't a very good idea.... Sony PC Companion doesn't allow me to update it.
After I reflash the C6602 version of firmware, will I be able to automatically update my phone using Sony PC Companion? My phone is a C6602 bought in China but the Chinese firmware has been flashed out of the device.
same issue i have a C6602 with C6603 rom on it

Were you able to get the phone back to stock? Also is there not a way of flashing the ROM without using the PC and ftf.
I prefer flashing from the phone on CWM because I'm lazy, Is that not an option for installing a stock rom for this phone?

If you find a flashable zip with stock rom, you can flash stock.
But if you have your booloader locked, chances are you lose your root, recovery and go back to barbone kernel.

thanks for the info. Im not 100% knowing if the bootloader is locked or not. I just assumed its unlocked because the phonr is rooted and i'm running AOKP on it. i guess the main reson i want ti know is because i know its not the correct rom for this phone. it works fine but it should be the one that should be for the phone. not c6603 when the phone is a c6602. would you happen to know the link for a cwm flashable rom version of c6602?

try to download your version, but it temp unavailable, can you enable it
Hello all,
It's not really a problem but something I just don't understand !
I'm on the .244 firmware and i tried to install the baseband of the .310 one (don't ask me why, I'm just curious :cyclops: ) but after the flash even if network took some time to be enabled the baseband number in the settings didn't change.
I also tried:
Going to .310 → .244 BB
Flashed everything in the .ftf excluding system and kernel
Wiping cache
But nothing changed in the baseband displayed in the settings !
Do somebody has an idea on why it doesn't change ? How can I be sure the new baseband is really installed ?
Thanks.
PS: a friend also tested on his Xperia SP, same issue.
Baseband is the same AFAIK.

Nope when I tried to flash the whole 310 ftf the baseband changed from -39 to -29 :/
Hello,
Do somebody have an idea please ?
Thanks.
Probably because both firmware use the same baseband

No, all firmware have different basebands, to check it we just have to flash the whole .ftf and see that the baseband number is changed.
Yesterday I read a message confirming this is only a display issue on many (all ?) 2013 Xperias. To be sure the new baseband has been installed after a flash, we simply have to check if the network takes some time to activate.
Then, does anybody know whether c5502 has the same baseband processor/hardware as c5503
I believe that the system part contains some informations. try overwriting it

@ syin16: same general hardware yes, but not the same network ship and baseband as C5503.
C5503 firmwares and basebands work on C5502, but a C5502 baseband/firmware on C5503 will prevent LTE to work.
@ Ilko: yeah it's a system thing, as reinstalling all the .ftf without the system partition doesn't change anything to the baseband number.
But it doesn't come from the build.prop
stupid me... caught this...
how i resolved it... (im using cm/fxp btw)
- make nandroid backup
- wipe
- reboot
- baseband comes back
- reboot into recovery
- advanced recovery with "data" only
- reboot
- done.
Yesterday i install kitkat on my xperia zr c5502 but thr file is courrepted then i install c5503 firmware now my phone model number show c5503 but my phone is?c5502

I have an Xperia Z1 C6902 which I believe is the non LTE version. On my phone the KitKat update causes it to play sound through the earpiece rather than the loudspeaker very randomly which I think is highly irritating. I dug around a bit and noticed not all are suffering from this. Mostly C6902 users are. So can i flash a C6903 ftf or for that matter any Z1 ftf on my C6902? Can I possibly go wrong with this or destroy my device? Please help!!! Else I was planning to downgrade to Jelly Bean until Sony releases the patch for this. :crying:

It won't boot because the modem/baseband is different. I think you can get away with it if you flash the modem/baseband of an 02 ftf afterwards, but I'm not sure so I wouldn't recommend trying unless you're feeling very adventurous

It's a risky job, someone did and had sim issues. It's not recommended and you can brick your phone too.
I shall pass
Thanks for your views on it. I think I shall pass.
Hi guys! I have a sony z3 compact Vietnam/Singapore Region and maybe our Sony branch forgot release new firmware 6.0 for z3c, i've found that in Australia already released Firmware 6.0 for D5833 (Australia Generic)
Can i flash this firmware for my Z3c (Singapore Genenic)
Im currently using a generic D5833 firmware, so yes, you can do it(currently 5.1.1)
You can flash any firmware just following this rule:
Flash FTF for your SPECIFIC xperia model, D5833 WITH D5833 FTF/FILES
never, i must emphasize, NEVER FLASH D5833 WITH D5803 FTF/FILES ETC
heres a tutorial dont forget to thank the autor of that tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
Lol, you can Flash D5803 files even with a D5833 device. I personally did it with mine nothing really happened except the LTE Icon got changed to 4G, but otherwise 4g still worked.
