Xperia Z will not update, what steps can I take to get the proper firmware on it?

Hi folks, I have an Xperia Z and its still stuck at 4.1.2
It's a prototype model, I've used the phone now for months and its been working great despite the lack of updates but I'm hoping it can have the latest software like the rest of the phones out there.
The bottom of the phone has C6606 written on it but the image on the screen shows C6616. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

can you take a screenshot of the 6616 screen? and can you go to the firmware by customization thread and follow the instructions? what is your cust.# ?

Thanks for the reply. l've PM'd you a link to the screen shot since I can't post any links on the forum yet. I'll check out the customization thread.

I think you can flash c6606 Software without problems... Maybe even of C6603 via Flashtool.

OK, that is really very strange. You could try to contact DoomLord or Apollo89, they have knowledge of such things.
Are you rooted? Can you do a CWM Backup? I suggest having a full backup before flashing another rom. So in case you need it, you can flash it back.
I am not sure if you have the same kernel as the rest of us. If you can not do a CWM backup, and are not rooted, you need to find a way to extract the file "boot.img" from the phone. This is the kernel, which you can easily flash back. But for this operation, a bootloader unlock will most probably be necessary.
If you can get no help from Doom or Apollo and can not extract boot.img, you might need to flash hoping for luck, or stay on the firmware you have.
Disclaimer: I might be much too paranoid, after all your phone seems to have the same hardware as the normal one, and a flash of a 10.4.B.0.569 ROM should be no problem. I just don't want to be the one that did not warn you and be responsable for a broken phone...
===============================================================
EDIT: Just had a look at the thread, C6616 is bell Canada, if you had found that, you could have reported back and told us that you solved the problem.
===============================================================

thanks for the advice. I still haven't tried anything with the phone. I've unlocked and flashed the firmware on my old Galaxy Nexus which for some reason also never updated (bought directly from Bell) but this one trying to read through all the information I'm having some trouble deciding on which method to use and where to really start.
If someone has a simple tutorial on flashing these phones please do share, otherwise I might just leave it as is and by the latest Nexus when this phone's done.

sorry to sound dumb, but I can't figure out which firmware to select for my phone. Can someone please recommend a link for the correct file to flash this with? Also does it matter which generic firmware I use? I don't want to get the Bell firmware and end up with all the bloatware they have on there. I'd prefer as close to a clean firmware as possible so I can start getting the latest updates onto this phone.

I think all Generic firmwares have the same "bloatware" app in common and all carrier branded firmwares have their carrier specific apps, so just choose a generic firmware and then remove all unuseful bloatware apps (if you go root).

I finally just tried one method, following the guide here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
I installed flashtool and installed the stock Bell software, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390178
It looked like everything went fine and when checking system updates it showed 4.3 was finally available!
but then after it downloaded the file I tried to install and it just gave me an error message :crying:
So what would be the next step for me?

Any info about that error??
Why not flash to 4.3 directly with flashtool or to 4.2 and then upgrade to 4.3?
Also try a fresh install by wiping data (if you have already a backup of them of course) it maybe helps..

I've tried a couple times now to update that system update, its 10.4.B.0.569, once it starts to install it goes to the robot install logo at the startup for a second then starts the phone right away without doing the full install. The message on screen is simply "could not install".
i'll try a factory reset then directly to 4.3. I'm assuming I can use the same method as before or do I need to look into rooting the phone now?

As soon you are installing a stock rom, you don't have to worry about root.
But if you wanna root, your only choice is to flash a 4.2 rom, root it with a method of your choice and then upgrade to a prerooted 4.3.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to a FW that works with my phone? the only one that I seem to be able to use with flashtool is this one here which is 4.1.2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390178
however it won't let me update the system!
I'm guessing that I need a C6616 firmware to make this work, but I also tried this one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612159 and I get an error in flashtools, in red writing 'ERROR - error flashing. Aborted'.
I've been searching on here and all the other firmwares are 6603 which I tried a couple and again errors in flashtools.
trying again with that 4.1.2 its flashing it but its not the firmware I need!

ok, finally got one of them to work! I'm not sure what it was but I downloaded a bunch of firmwares until one of them finally updated me to 4.3.
thanks for all the help!

It does, the emergency will flash an XT926 firmware, might have to change internal files I guess. It did got me out of a flash failure then could get back into fastboot and then flash my Telcel firmware for my XT925.

Is this for XT925?! Is this the first thing i have to do to get Kit Kat official leaked last week?

Just wanted to thank you for creating this tool, man. The Emergency Fix really saved my skin from a soft brick.

Pretty sure this utility has bricked my phone. I was on 4.1.2 and was rooted and tried using the utility to return to stock. After the utility completed it gets stuck on the AP fastboot menu and it says Boot Failure. Any ideas to fix it?

Nice to know it.

I have an XT1064 that was rooted and bootloader unlocked, i downloaded the right version and restored it using TWRP and it worked! I am now on 5.0 with out using any PC or anything..the only thing is i cant send a text...calls work fine just no text messages...can you help me? I also want to get rid of the dual sim feature as my phone only has one sim. Please help!
Okay so I tried to download and flash the OTA.zip for my phone and flash it through stock recovery and it aborts when verifying my current system because of the edited build.prop in this build. Is there any way to fix this without a PC? I don't have access to one right now. Feel free to PM me! Thank you XDA

[Q] Your opinion please for a M/B transplant.

Hi, recently i managed to brick my Korean F340L G Flex so bad. I've tried almost everything software wise.
-The solution:
I'm planning to change the logic board from a Sprint LS995 model. I think it will work ok. Of course I'll have to some how get an unlock code in order to use it in Greece where I live.
I've seen in ebay some users providing for a small amount of money this code.
So, what do you think. Will it work as I'm thinking? Any comments, suggestions, guides welcome. Thanks
Here is a short story:
"Hello, to all, I'd like to share my experience and problem with my LG G Flex, as a last hope to find a solution to unbrick it.
I know that the talk here is about G2's, but I saw many users reviving their Flexes with OP's method.
So here is what I did in steps:
1)I rooted my Lg g flex F340L
2)New OTA, downloaded, but failed to install after reboot. The message was no OTAs for rooted devises
3)Tried to unroot, but with no success. Still no installation of OTA.
4)Found, and flashed the stock F340L rom , (had an EFS backup), from another user here(.tot file), with LGFlashTool.
5)SIM card was not recognized any more (Greece, Vodafone), so no calls. Did all the updates, but no SIM, still.
6)Hard reset, still no SIM.
7)Decided to flash stock F340K kdz rom, and install CWR. All good, SIM detected, OTA downloaded, but after reboot stuck at CWM nenu. Whatever I do just CWM.
8)No download mode, or usb support, just an LG FLEX unknown device. Got some drivers only to be seen as lenovo ADB device.
9)I found the test point on the motherboard and short circuit it. Got a qhsusb_bulk(qualcomm 9008) under COM ports, but not on a specific port.
10) No flash capability, and no partitions to try and flash the 10 or so, images. Ubundu, no luck with the partition detection either.
11)After many reboots and button long presses the CRW came back...again
Well as I can see, there is not so much support for the korean variants and I might have destroyed my phone. So, I need your advise in changing the motherboard. I found M/B's from AT&T and Sprint variants, to install to my F340L. I think it will work. After I will purchase an unlock code from lets say ebay to unlock it to all GSM networks ( I live in Greece).

What is CRW or CWR?
Are you referring to CWM? The recovery?
If you can boot into cwm your phone has a chance to be saved no need to change the mb.
By the way sprint doesnt give out unlock codes like att. There is an specific process to sim unlock sprints variant.

Yes sorry, CWM I was refering to. Well, since I have no other option at the moment. I'll try to find that specific process you've mentioned when I get the board(help or hint welcome)
As, for the M/B change, no system partitions are recognized in order to flash individual .images to unlock them.

If you can access CWM you dont need to flash the .img files for your phone. Instead you could flash a stock zip through adb sideload or flash twrp through sideload too. Twrp allows MTP use so someone using an F340K can help you with a stock backup and you can unbrick instead of changing board.

The only stock image I have is in .TOT file for the L variant. I also have stock .kdz file for the K variant. I can sideload to /sdcard/0/ directory only, if that helps. I'll try to find twrp.zip and try it. But the main problem is to find stock rom in .zip format.

I've managed to install twrp 2.8.0.0...

Fix for baseband/imei on tmo ocx27

hey guys I was able to get the modem pulled from a moto z2 that has the ocx27.1 update.. if you run this flash all it will reinstall ocx27 with the latest modem allowing you to once again use your phone.
Please note that this will wipe your phone
Also note that your baseband will stay empty untill your phone fully boots up into android

Thank you for this. Worked great. I had a worthless brick after trying to install Magisk. :|

my Moto Z2 Force is locked with t-mobile modem but it is the retail model how do I unlock it Have I tried several ways and I could not ??

some weeks ago downgrade my z2 and loose baseband, with this phone come back to life :,v
thanks, thank you very much

Saved my phone
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to get my baseband re-installed.

Is SPRINT available? my phone is oreo,OTA loses IMEI after March security update...

Back on update path
Any T-mobile guys figure out how to get updates to install after flashing this, I tried flashing another firmware after this and lost baseband again.
Edit: I ended up flashing the XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml with the OreoFlashAllUtilities then I edited a FlashAll.bat and used it to flash NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-51_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. rebooted and it started updating to the latest update and made it through 100%.

Any T-mobile guys figure out how to get updates to install after flashing this, I tried flashing another firmware after this and lost baseband again.
Edit: I ended up flashing the XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml with the OreoFlashAllUtilities then I edited a FlashAll.bat and used it to flash NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-51_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. rebooted and it started updating to the latest update and made it through 100%.

How did you edited FlashAll.bat?

Is this any different than using the frankin update that combit both sprint and tmobile firmware?
Mine atm show
Android 8.0
Current version: ocxs27.1.3
Security patch level may 1 2018

Kindly send me the flashing procedure for this rom

Not working on me. Still no sim, no wifi, no IMEI.
I'm on tmo variant. Also, don't we need modem.img? Why the flashall.bat don't include it? I checked. Anyway, I edited and include it: still not working.
P.s.should I use a particular flashall ?

Any luck getting this fixed? I am in a similar boat

I tried flashing this to no avail---i am seeing the following failures when running the flashall...anyone know how to correct this:
(bootloader) Invalid partition name system__a
FAILED (remote: '')

@elijahaf97, is it possible to re-upload the file?
Following the G drive link, it tells me it was moved to the trash bin.
Thanks.
