Hi, I'm having trouble finding the older ftf files. I'm currently on android P, but the xperifix didn't carry over so I want to downgrade back to use the camera.
Thanks!

Use xperifirm from XDA and xpericheck.com :silly:
OEM apps and frequency optimizations I think

Hi again, so I flashed the version you gave me, but I am still on version 9.0 pie.
My procedure was exactly the same as xperifirm. Creating the ftf file then flashing it via xperiflash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

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

Battery drain will be there initially but it will disappear after play store automatically updates.

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot

Hmm. 28.0.A.4.8 is the previous version. In the worst case, you could flash it & then use PC companion to update to *.24 - just a thought.

Hi all
Because of some unfortunate events, I had to reflash my phone. And because of compatibility problems with Xposed, I need an older firmware (.75 is the latest one that works).
My region is Nordic, and Xperifirm only has the newest (.145) version. I found a german .75 on these boards which I now have flashed, but it has a few problems. It doesn't seem to have VoLTE, and sometimes I stumble upon things that are in german.
Is there a place that keeps older firmware versions for different regions? Or does anyone happen to have the Nordic 47.1.A.12.75 firmware?

Use the application "virtualbox", enable USB pass through and install Linux.
There fastboot should work with your device.
