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

but then after it downloaded the file I tried to install and it just gave me an error message :crying:

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!

Well spotted you flashed it? If so via twrp with full wipe?
What about GAPPS is it 64bit version?
Are we downloading for LEO?
Jeez to many questions, just think someone might mess up.
I'll test and report back.

So I downloaded the EU rom, make sure you download for Leo, installed via TWRP with full wipe as per instructions. To be honest if your from uk no point its still english US not UK, For everyone else yea go for it no problems and Playstore included.
Is there no improvements from 6.5.1.0 version?
Also how do I flash twrp on my phone? Do I need root?

I just flashed this rom and i can confirm that it works well here in the uk on the ee 4g network no problems for me and very happy with this phone
Are there any instructions on how to install it?
I found TWRP, but need root to install it which i don't have.
Just boot to TWRP first via fasboot by using fastboot boot twrp.img command,
Then flash supersu,
After u got root access, install flashify and flash twrp
Is French included in this ROM? Probably not...
Will my apps be in French anyway or will it go like the UI?
Hi - I tried installing the most recent stable version for the Note Pro (xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V6.6.3.0.LXHCNCF_v6-5.0) and it was completely unusable. Lots of system processes failing etc. Has everyone else had this experience or am I doing something wrong? I installed initially through TWRP, then also tried through MiRecovery.
Just got the phone and really liking it, but very keen to get it working more like a UK phone! Great to see there's people working on this!!!

It works fine for me in UK, full wipe in TWRP? You said first with TWRP and then Mi, did you reflash original recovery. I always find that after flashing a new rom I have to reflash GAPPS or I get the problems you describe.
I had been unsure if the 'Wipe All' would also scrub the ROM zip file, so did not do this first time.
This time I did wipe everything, which also resulted in the ROM zip file being deleted.
Managed to sideload it and everything is now working! Many thanks for the suggestion. And for future, should I be wiping everything, or is there a way to avoid the sideload?
Thanks

Like I said just reflash google apps no need for full wipe, use TWRP, keep a copy of GAPPS on your phone along with the rom so wiping won't be a problem should you need too.
Hey guys, I was playing around with the leeco s3 and I think I over flashed something or other. It's not exactly working right. Can someone please upload a complete btwrp backup of their le s3 x522 on 18s, 19s or 20s?

I think you need to start reading some threads around here, once you have installed the TWRP for the S3, you cannot get OTA to work again and their are other numerous issues too, as of yet nobody can fully restore back to stock. So start reading.
Also a few people here do have flashable firmware that might help but it will never be a full stock recovery unless something is fixed.

Thanks, Ive seen this post as well, it is 19s but is the boot partition (i think) and data partition, no recovery or system partition.
I was curious if anyone had a complete backup of working system, recovery, boot, data partitions for restoring?
Also I get this odd error 7 when trying to restore it, anyone know what is going on?

Hey, do you know where I could find the Chinese TWRP that allows me to flash the original stock EUI rom? I flashed LineageOS but the camera is not perfect, so I wish to go back to EUI but I cannot figure out how to install it without seeing errors such as "this package is for "le_s2_na" devices. Your device is a "s2"." Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a download link for the Chinese TWRP that people claim works? Thanks!

You need to unzip the firmware file, remove top 2 lines from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and zip it again, it will remove the platform check. However device still does not boot, I tried to install both 20S and 21S multiple times. My guess is we need the original recovery partition image for X522 and I could not find it anywhere.
I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.
6. repeat 2-3.
7. On PC: adb push S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip /sdcard
8. In TWRP click right button on the bottom and select English. Click "Do not allow modifications." Install the zip file you just uploaded.
9. Reboot.

Hello,
I need advice, please. MOTO G2 (2014) XT1068
XT1068 unlocked>TWRP installed>TWRP Fix permissions clicked>now boot animation and goes into black screen (with backlight).
More detailed:
Last night I have unlocked my XT1068 and installed TWRP, no problem.
(following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLSTDsFG1xw, citing https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165).
First deviation was I got TWRP from http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img as I ran into an unavoidable sign-up trap following the cited url).
Second deviation was I chose to install SU offered by the TWRP app via Gplay, which was unsuccessful.
So I decided to go back and follow the instruction, using the provided "Update SU" file but found my Windows Explorer but it didn't give me access to internal memory or SD card. After short research, I found that XT1068 "developer options>USB configuration" toggling MTP to Charging only and back MTP helped https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3nnkaa/cant_access_android_device_internal_storage_from/ as the Windows Explorer was able to access the XT1068 memory. (SD card was setup as internal memory).
I copied the file over, rebooted into TWRP but couldn't see the file. I remember having seen something like "unable to mount or access memory" in TWRP and remembered from XDA thread that permissions might be messed up. It was late, I jumped to a conclusion when I found the TWRP option "Fix permissions". I clicked it and have since the issue.
I can get into the menu which offers "recovery" and also get into TWRP
I have tried "Factory reset" but I am not sure what happens there, Motorola boot animation comes and then the black screen again (with backlight)
I think I have options but feel like in a minefield and better ask for what to do next.
Thank you
can you tell me you're bootloader version and on what android version you were when you messed up things? If your phone boots up to the bootloader i.e. the menu which allows you to enter recovery then you're having more than one options to fix this problem. But be careful this time. as this may brick your phone and it will be gone for good..
Read this XDA thread and do the steps carefully. This may restore your phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
Hi, I had the stock Marshmallow and bootloader is showing 48.86 (if that is actually the number). I was aiming to do a titanium backup and then probably try a custom ROM.
I will follow the steps in the link provided to get back to a known working state before trying a custom ROM but I really like to understand what went wrong and in what state the phone now is. I don't think my deviations where a bad choice but clicking "Fix permissions" obviously was. I like to learn from mistakes.
Thanks for helping me out.
Ok, read the guide and am uncertain which firmware is the correct one for New Zealand (the thread is full of confusion about the versions). I am waiting for a reply there and asking here if I could from this point also try to flash a custom rom via TWRP? Or better back to a working condition before doing this? Thanks.

Umm.. About the firmware version of the stock ROM, you can search google for it. And as far as your question about trying a custom ROM, you can try whichever ROM you want (except Ubuntu Touch, it's installation methods are too confusing). Just download the ROM in .zip file and download "Google Apps (GApps)", I prefer open gapps and install the rom via TWRP.
Wipe out these paritions in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe:
Dalvik/ART cache
Cache
Data
System
Also before installing any custom ROM read the steps plus read user comments before flashing anything
P.S. make sure your TWRP is latest. For TITAN it is TWRP-3.2.0-0

Yes, thanks.
I have flashed ROM's successfully before on Galaxy S3 and Tab 2 and used gapps via TWRP.
I have tried Google for the correct version but find myself turning in circles, most-likely my limited search term knowledge.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/4bgg02/info_all_moto_g_codenames_models_variants/ shows "XT1068 : Latin America/EU/UK/Asia/Australia/Germany/Brazil/India, Dual SIM" and the listed ROMs named XT1068_TITAN_RET ...(BR for Brazil?) (LA for Latin America?) (DSDS for India?) (GB for UK?) (DE for Germany?) then what? Some are obvious others are what I have read through various comments, DSDS may even be for (EU/INDIAN/GLOBAL), I have not been able to find a really good page explaining this.
You did not answer my last question directly but given that you stated how to flash a ROM and what to wipe, I assume you mean that I could alternatively install a custom ROM at this stage. (Which is what I had planned originally).
Still, would be nice to know the correct firmware version and also why clicking "Fix permission" turned things into custard.
Thanks.

Yeah, I´ve seen in the post of @karteileiche that link: http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img. That recovery is outdated and not from the original source. Maybe that´s the reason why things get messed up.
Downlad latest TWRP always from this site if you don´t need something unoffical for your device: https://dl.twrp.me/
For titan this would be: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog2014.html
About installation of custom roms: When you check any thread of custom roms you´ll find in the OP what to wipe and what to use.
And imho it would be better to first flash the actual recovery before flashing any custom rom.
Valid point, thanks for reminding me and providing the link.

Yes, thanks.
I have flashed ROM's successfully before on Galaxy S3 and Tab 2 and used gapps via TWRP.
I have tried Google for the correct version but find myself turning in circles, most-likely my limited search term knowledge.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/4bgg02/info_all_moto_g_codenames_models_variants/ shows "XT1068 : Latin America/EU/UK/Asia/Australia/Germany/Brazil/India, Dual SIM" and the listed ROMs named XT1068_TITAN_RET ...(BR for Brazil?) (LA for Latin America?) (DSDS for India?) (GB for UK?) (DE for Germany?) then what? Some are obvious others are what I have read through various comments, DSDS may even be for (EU/INDIAN/GLOBAL), I have not been able to find a really good page explaining this.
You did not answer my last question directly but given that you stated how to flash a ROM and what to wipe, I assume you mean that I could alternatively install a custom ROM at this stage. (Which is what I had planned originally).
Still, would be nice to know the correct firmware version and also why clicking "Fix permission" turned things into custard.
Thanks.

Yess, you can try installing custom rom and see if that works.. otherwise flashing stock rom will also be an option for you.
Fixed
Resolved by using the latest TWRP version and a clean flash of a custom ROM.
Thank you Wolfcity :good:

I went to codeworks page:
There are 4 files for the x522 in firmware and 4 in modems. I am assuming the "19s" firmware is for India so is the "20s" for the US?
But the 4 files in the modem section is confusing, which one/one's are for the US model x522? here is the link for the modems https://host.llamasweet.tech/codeworkx/lineage/s2/
Thanks

Oh you mean flash that entire rom? And will that install the bootloader and modem? In any case, i tried flashing those files but they won't flash, any suggestions?
Since those roms won't flash i had to look for individual bootloader and modem and stumbled into those files by codeworks, and i am assuming you are saying that those aren't the correct files?

I just flashed 21S today on my 522. what recovery do you have right now? that's pure stock. flashing will erase everything and restore factory rom. https://youtu.be/v_aohNnvT_Q

twrp-3.2.1-0-s2, can't remember if i had the same one or one version older than the current one; when i tried it. Should i try it again? But the question is will it install the origibnal boot loader and modem? because i was playing with those in the past and flashed the wrong ones i think, and it will be great if i can go back to the original ones.

it certainty restores boot. not sure about modem, I never touched it. you have nothing to loose flashing it. it supposed to be bone stock. just delete two lines in the script and re-save zip. you have to do wipe, wipe data, then mount, copy zip, flash, reboot. in that order, I wasted hours today finding out that order is required. otherwise, it won't load.

then you have a more complicated problem than mine. I had stock fastboot, and twrp.

Unbelievable! It actually worked after the 2nd attempt. Even got the 21s update. Thanks :good:
The original question is still unanswered about which one is the correct firmware for the US model amng the firmware provided by codeworks, hopefully someone knows that and will share in interest of others that might have the same problem.
Thanks again @leo221 for providing a clear and easy solution.
