Wondering whether anybody's found success in flashing the EVA-L09C02B340 firmware via dload?
It didn't seem to work for B339 but hoping for the best with this one.
Thanks for any helpful replies
Edit: Just tried flashing via dload but installation failed (oh well)

Hi,
Really couple of quick questions... I have read the tutorials on flashing stock firmwares, I have got all the software downloaded (Xperifirm and Flashtool). I just want to debrand my phone (i.e. no O2 apps and no O2 boot screen).
I have picked out the Customized UK Unbranded firmware 23.0..1.A.5.77.
My current firmware is O2 Pay monthly UK 23.0.1.A.5.77
Does anyone see any forseeable issues with what I am about to do? First time flasher of Xperia phones - I have been a Samsung shill for far too long!
Kind Regards,
Neil

Hi,
I've also got the phone on O2 pay monthly and considering flashing the generic UK firmware. Did you use the links on the firmware thread to obtain the UK one? The links seemed to not work when I tried to download.
Have you read about creating your own flashtool file (ftf) for the current firmware? I would advise you to do so before getting rid of the O2 firmware as a backup ftf. You can repair the phone using the Sony PC companion and that would download the necessary files to create the ftf.
I have used couple of Xperias before and have always used flashtool to flash different firmware many times. The consensus regarding warranty and flashing seems that you do not loose the warranty in doing so and I have hoped it is so in flashing the other Xperias.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this was not a successful attempt. I got the firmware using the app Xperifirm and decrypted it and created the flashing files in Flashtool as per instructions in another thread. I could not get the drivers to work correctly for Flashtool to function correctly however. Once I got to the flashing stage and Flashtool asked me to power down the device, I would then hold down the Vol - button whilst putting in the micro USB cable and it would fail instantly, first saying the driver was not installed and then after a lot of fiddling that the loader.sin would not install and again fail straight away. After a couple of hours of messing around I gave up.

Am I right in thinking that you downloaded this firmware when you posted about it back in 2015? If you did and you still have it would you be able to send me a copy? It seems to be unobtainable now from the internet.
Kind regards

Hi all,
I'm running a Huawei P9 with a build number of L19C900B190. I am not rooted, bootloader locked. Having an insane time trying to find a way to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat. I can't find any other C900 firmwares, so is it impossible for me to upgrade? In my desperation I have finally resorted to opening a new thread. Which regions received the C900 firmware? I am based in Singapore.
I understand another method i can go is to unlock my bootloader, root my phone, flash another oem firmware like C636 or whatever and then upgrade to Nougat. However I am trying to find a method that can keep my warranty intact as my device is just a few weeks old. If anyone can point out a firmware i can flash Nougat for my phone type via the dload method, I would be really grateful.
Oops. Sorry mods could you delete this thread, moving to questions and answers part of the forum.
You flashed a wrong update file then you got c900. Which cXXX were you using when you buy your phone? You should find it and flash it. C900 is cross flash code, no region for it.

Hi,
Just sharing my experiences with you.. I had the same problem as you. Tried to flash C636B190 firmware from stock firmware (which is customised by Starhub I guess Cause build number is L19 C20B150 and I can't find any info for C20 build) and end up having C900B190 installed. Regardless of how many times I reflash, build number stay with C900B190 instead of C636B190. Although I had the B190 build, but fail to install Nougat update via Hisuit.
You can try to use Hisuit and PC to update to Nougat, see either it will fall at 1% or not. No harm will occur on your phone.. I tried many times. After giving up, I just send the phone back to service center and revert back to their original firmware.. And to wait for OTA.
Good luck...
I ended up sticking with the C900B190 FW as it's a pretty stable firmware for marshmallow. I've read around and with some help, found out that only way to go to nougat is to debrand to a C636 FW and then upgrade manually.
I've been on fRomFuture B171 for a while now, and I'd like to rollback to stock Nougat (or update to Oreo/Pie), but I can't seem to find any official firmwares.
All the links I can find are dead or 404'd. Same goes for the links on xda threads that I've been sifting through.
I'm running VTR-L29 (rebranded, VTR-L09 originally) with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP.
Using eRecovery to recover over WiFi yielded the error that the package info could not be found. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help!
Help, I want to update from MM to Nougat or Possible to Oreo. Help me please! I'll do whatever i can!
I already tried via Firmware updater and firmware finder. No luck. I tried all the OTAs. All failed!
Can somebody help me?
Did you copy file to sd card and tried updating from there?
SOLVED! Changed OEM Info
