Downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4 - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
iam new here and come from germany so sorry if i got grammar failures
I want to downgrade my Xperia Z3C from 5.1 to 4.4
I red in many german forums, that the battery power in 4.4 was better as in 5.1
The problem: i found (on this site) the 4.4 version but the download link is down....
Can anyone reupload this download or did someone know a site, where i can download the 4.4version?
thx

Schau dir das mal an

Battery life is the same. Downgrading is not worth the hassle.

[Q] Still No 4.3 update in pakistan

I'm currently living in Pakistan and still haven't gotten the 4.3 update,is their something wrong?
Some say that flashing tft has some bugs so i didn't flashed it.
Can someone tell me if their is any issue of flashing a tft vs ota or pcc.
And plz tell me which region's tft has minimal bugs
btw i have an unbranded c5303.
Thnx in Advance
You're not alone.
SP users in the UK, also haven't got an official UK update.
Despite the fact that they stated that UK users could update through PC Companion.
:c
Who knows when the waiting will end.
trust me you may not even want 4.3, yes it has some new features like new camera ui and a bit different messaging and app drawer and stuff but its awfully glitchy
Hi bro.
Don't wait anymore. Flash a 4.3 ftf file using flash tool.
Pakistan update won't come soon.

Thnx for the rply,flashed the generic tft and loving it except the first boot which was laggy.
Btw which tft did u flashed?
4.3 is way buggy for me, so I've changed my rom to cyanogen mod 10 for locked bootloaders, way way better than stock 4.3, proper smooth aswel

I am using Existenze 1.0.5
But CE FTF 4.3 was also v good if u want non-rooted.
Otherwise, puestockdeodexed v2 is the way to go for root + 4.3 with least bugs.

Thnx for the info man but i think im going to stick with non rooted stock for a while
Given Sony's update habits, 1-3 updates are buggy as hell. So you should wait.

[Q] Stock ROM FTF 4.4.2

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks
Chris

I need help rooting 4.4.2

I need help rooting 4.4.2
I lowered my firmware as low as 4.2 but i ran into serious errors and bugs when installing really old outdated recoveries as well as custom roms so im now on 4.4.2 instead of 4.4.4 as i dunno what's the highest available version that can be indeed rooted can someone help me on how do i get myself on 4.4.4 with root successfully as theres no real guides here to help me, ive read enough guides telling me i'm able to root 4.2,4,3 but not 4.4 or higher
I hope someone can suggest my next step to getting rooted is as im just after unlocking and installing recovery just now to now realise i may actually have to download again to a even lower firmware
You can easily root 4.4.4 with easyroot tool available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900

I want to Downgrade my Z1

Hey everyone,
I need help soon as possible.
I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 with android 5.1.1 and my firmware is 14.6.A.9.368 and I want to downgrade to 4.4 (KitKat) because Android 5.1.1 is stealing a lot of battery and is slower than 4.4, so I want to get back to it.
MY PHONE IS ROOTED.
I saw a lot of threads about this, but I still don't know much..
I have flashtool, I just need a download link for a firmware of 4.4 (KitKat) that is compatible with my phone and will run without problems.
(I dont know if this is important but my SI is 1276-1925.8 EL,EN) <- Don't know what is this..
I'm from Portugal, so I'm sure I need a firmware of Portugal version I dont know.. I think I have an Unlocked phone.
Waiting for help.. Thanks!
Wrong board - this should have been under XPERIA Z1 Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING
No, you don't need to unlock your phone's bootloader to use Flashtool and flash a stock 4.4.4
You can check the FTF download links posted in our community boards. Technically speaking it's OK to use another regions FTF on your phone, i.e. Philippine phone (like mine) using Singapore ROM is just as the same as Philippine phone using Philippine ROM.
I recently downgraded to 4.4.4 from a spanish mod'er.
Was also just sick of LL's battery life... and suddenly I can forget about charging etc. Finally lasts for about two days again...

Lollipop is faster and much better overall
Kitkat just fur battery life on 3g and app compatibility
I find if i disable location the battery last longer

[Q] Need help with a C6166 stock firmware

Hi,
So some time ago I updated my Canadian Xperia Z C6166 to 5.1.1 and ever since the battery has just been appalling, I can open the phone and watch the % go down by the minute.
Now I am looking to downgrade it back to KitKat for the superior battery performance but after hours and hours of searching I've come up with nothing! I found a few links to 4.1.2 but they were all dead links and also for a US model.
I'm at my wits end to be honest, any help would be very gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
sorry man i will try to find for your device
