[Q] What FTF to use.

Hi guys,
I have an Neo unlocked with Night Elf 1.5 kernel and King's ROM.
But I don't think I have already flashed to .587 firmware even though everything is working correctly.
My "About Phone" screen shows:
8x55-AAABQQAZM-203028G-70 ==> so I think I don't have 587 ? Is this correct ?
Now what I don't know is :
What version of FTF for the .587 do I need to use ? ( I live in Belgium.)
I have downloaded this :
Xperia Neov_4.1.B.0.587_India SI 1254-8966 by abhiheart (376 MB)
and
MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Global (only 236MB)
I don't know if I need to use these 2 that's why I am asking.
Could you guys give me an link to the correct one ?
PS: What JB roms are fully working because the overview thread hasn't been updated in a while
Thanks!
What you wrote above(from about phone screen) is baseband. It can be changed without changing entire build.
What you need to check is build number, but since you flashed custom ROM, I kinda doubt it have stock build number.
But if we can take assumption that you didn't changed baseband on your own, then no, you don't have .587, you have .562
Android 4.0.4; 4.1.B.0.587 have baseband 77
Android 4.0.4; 4.1.B.0.431 have baseband 72
Android 4.0.3; 4.1.A.0.562 have baseband 70 (which wasn't even officially out for Neo)
Android 2.3.4; 4.0.2.A.0.62 have baseband 64
Android 2.3.4; 4.0.2.A.0.42 have baseband 56
p.s. forgot to wrote, ftf's are in sticky thread in general section
Hi
Thanks no I do not know how to change it by myself , I only flash things ;
MT15i 4.1.B.0.587 NCB, Nordic, CDF-1247-0875
multiupload(TnX to MScorpionZ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=121
OR
google docs(TnX to petulinka1): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=123
These 2 are in the general section
Are those both for my country?
Why do they have different sizes ? ~230 or ~360 ?
Thanks
Kind regards !
Well, Belgium is not in Nordic region. But if you ask if it will work on your phone then yes, it will.
And about file size, have you check entire filenames/extensions?
Hi
Both have the FTF extension.
But both have different file sizes so ... I don't know ?
Maybe off topic: are there fully working JB roms except the JB port by Paranoid ?
Thanks.

No, they are not. One is a zip, other one is ftf.
Yes that is true, but when you unpack the zipped one then the size is still different
Kind regards
Ah, now I see what you were saying. Don't worry, files inside ftf are same size.
In few latest flashtool versions(to be more precise in 0.9.1.0 and above), created ftf's are compressed, while in older they were just packed in without compression.
You can use any of those ftf's, flashtool will extract both of them with no problems.

Different loader.sin in stock ftf and my (also stock) ftf made from PCC

I am thinking about rooting my Xperia P, but firstly I made a backup ftf from PCC using flashtool (I have non branded stock ROM 1.54).
Then I downloaded stock ROM 1.54 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020778, unpack both ROMs and use WinMerge to compare them. I expected that all sin files are the same. And they were, except loader.sin. And now my questios is: why loader.sin is different? My XP has locked bootloader.
I downloaded also kernel 1.54 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900172 and compared with my ftf with the same result - loader.sin is different (but kernel.sin is the same).

[Q] Possible to flash kitkat firmware manually?

I want to install the new KitKat firmware. I still haven't received for my SGP 311 (Germany WiFi).
I was wondering if it's possible to install it by hand which also means I need to download it from somewhere.
Is this possible? Like in Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, we can flash the firmware via ODIN
Thanks
You can use Flashtool (which is Sony's version of the ODIN) and Ftf file. However, I failed to find a Kitkat FTF for the SGP311. Seems like no one made it.
However, you can flash the SGP312 firmware, I think. You just have to exclude something related to partition sizes. I can't remember exactly what it is right now.

I want to download it my self
The build number that came with your phone will depend on when you bought it. If you want to know the earliest KitKat build, it's 17.1.A.2.55. All available FTFs are in the link that tonypro79 provided. If you want one with just the German keyboard language, just get either the unbranded Germany (1281-4640) or Germany O2 (1281-4650).
I want know to downgrade my phone but how?
Normal flashing for does it need something else?
My has locked bootloader
Just download the firmware that you like, and use Flashtool to flash the FTF file. There are plenty of tutorials (including videos) on how to use Flashtool to flash FTF firmware files. And do make sure that you untick the "Wipe data" option if you want to keep your user data when you downgrade.

Flash stock Indian 4.4.2 ftf and recheck.
Hi,
You mentioned you are rooted , so i assume you have recovery.
Search for the tread for a prerooted LP Firmware zip and flash over your current Firmware.
I did it, and its working great.
