Need original firmware files of W8

I know I can simply just flash via SEUS/PC Comp but is there a file of W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware files that can be used in flash tool? I can only find E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0
As I wrote in another post earlier this week ...
No, there are no FTF flash ROM images of the genuine W8 firmware around. The best thing you will be able to find, through Google, is a xRecovery backup of 2.1.1.A.0.46.
Best method would be ... restore your phone back to the original firmware though PCC/SEUS (whatever works for you). After the flash is done don't boot the device - fire up Flashtool, connect the phone in Flash mode and create a FTF image from the newly restored ROM. Once that's done verify your phone boots up correctly and then maybe upload the FTF image to share it with others looking for it.

Just looked at Flashtool - and - my bad ... the Backup option in the Advanced menu does not create a FTF (as I thought it would) but only backup /system/app.
In short - there's no easy way to create a FTF image directly from the phone.
The only two easy way would therefore be to pull a xRecovery backup from the E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware (which means that you have to boot, root and inject xRecovery - best done through Flashtool - to have a Flashable restore). Only downside is that this can't be easily restored through Flashtool if the phone is stuck in a boot-loop or whatever else soft-brick problem.
Help
My BuildNumber is W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.53 but the Sony PC Companion still reads W8 E16i 2.1.1.A.0.6 and always requesting to update my phone...I download the xRecovery backup of 2.1.1.A.0.46. and restore it using xRecovery of my phone..

[Q]HOW TO convert zip to ftf file..try almost all xda methods cant success..

i tried almost all metods to convert zip to ftf but cant got success...kindly help guyz so I can ROOT MY Z1....PLZZ
You don't have to "Convert" but just to rename the extensions of the file to flash it. For example if it is C6903_Unbranded.zip you have change it to C6903_Unbranded.ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalizations > Folder Options > View, then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", now you can rename it, flash it and click thanx.
done what you say

I don't know if this make difference but it should be in C:\Program Files\Flashtool\firmwares. Then if you can see yet the FTF that mean is something wrong with flashtool or the file which you downloaded. When I downloaded the file from NUT link I don't get .zip file but a normal .ftf file so I don't know yours where it come from but one guy had the same problem like yours and he just renamed the file and everything was gone fine. Try to download the file from different source. On this Video Tutorial by Shem, in descriptions there are links to download the .534 ftf by NUT, redownload again and let me know.
i downld the same

You have to flash the right FTF for you device and then it will work. Then you have C6902 model? You should said this before. Anyway how you flashed the phone, did you solved the issue?

What the hell are you doing? Who told you to flash .514? It do not exist. Download from HERE the C6902 14.1.G.2.257 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1348_R1A and flash it on your phone. Turn on your phone and check if everything is ok, switch it off and hold volume down and connect in flashmode, then Downgrade again to C6902 14.1.G.1.534 Generic TW, Root this Firmware with Bin4ry Application and when you are rooted then follow the instruction to update to .290 from HERE, then update again to .136 from HERE. Read carefully all the instructions. This method is for Locked Bootloader and if you do all correctly you will have .136 fully rooted.
thanx for help

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...
I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware
Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.
