I flashed my phone, How do I restore it? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hey guys,
I flashed my phone since I couldn't wait for the Hk update anymore. But its really buggy so I wanna go back to factory settings.
I factory restored but it stayed on 510 and I also repaired using pcc and nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Faktory restore does not actually restore it to the delivery state it does restore it to a state like it would went out of factory.
So this means it removes all apps and settings. But hte Rom itself would stay the same
What was you delivery rom ?
Regards

Its the Hk edition. I got an update after I bought it so im guessing it was. 461. Not sure. Is there a way to know?

Oh i thought there is something to bring me back to factory rom. Thanks alot ..
When it was running it was super smooth and good but a couple of times at like 3% battery it just dies then wont turn on for a couple of minutes. Screen has is lit but its black. So i just thought id wait for the official HK since i really wanted to try 510 and did.

I did not had this issues. But i dont have the c6802 i jave a c6833.
Hk and other customizations will not doffer. It is the same base firmware,so all issues you may have on another region firmware you may get with the hk firmware too. (speaking about NOT crossflash between devices).
Firdt advice on problems: do a FULL wipe and start from scratch again. No restore of backups or other bull****, just do it all manually. Sometimes it does magic

Wcdma chip

Hi guys around october last year I bought my neo v, after a months use my 3g stopped working, I sent it of to sony for repairs and they replaced the WCDMA chip with is the 3g, the same problem has occured again. So know I have my bootloader unlocked etc I no longer have garranty or warranty, so I will have to get the chip fixed paying, last time it was done under warranty so I dont know the price! Does anyone have any idea how much this is going to cost?, also on the paper they gave me it listed as well as the chip, there was also 4 different type of screws. The phone has a 2 year warranty, if I was to relock bootloader and repair with sony updater would the warranty still be void? The 3g on my phonr has never been brilliant so I think its rubbish chip or something! Please does anyone have any suggestion or aswers? Thanks
Press thanks if I helped!

Just relock bootloader, flash it with fw for same region as you had before, take it to the repair center and play dumb, don't say nothing.
btw. I wouldn't call it rubbish chip as I never heard for that problem, ether you just didn't have luck or you downloaded really big amount of data via 3g

Thanks, I dont think its just a coincidence the chip is gone twice, I use my 3g daily but dont do many downloads just browse etc. As I said before its been repaired before, that repair had a warranty of 3 months because its the same problem will the warranty cover it again?

If you unlocked official than Sony has got the imei of you phone and they can see that your phone has got a unlocked boot loader. So they might say you have to pay for the repair. Just give it a try.
Relock your bootloader and use sus to flash a clean stock rom.

Xperia p problem

Guys need your help. Writing because not very familiar with xperia p and don't know anything. coming from nexus and Samsung.
Bought my mom xperia and after she updated to jb phone started behave very weird I mean freezing from time to time touch screen not responsive and disconnecting call. In general became very slow as well.
What would be your advise do the factory reset and set everything one more time or flash the firmware from scratch. If the second one could you tell me where can I find step by step guide to do that.
Sorry for silly question but as I said I'm completely new to Sony.
Thanks for help

You should try both ways. I mean, take a factory reset and set everything again. If that doesn't work, you could download stock firmware from this thread if you want jb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333145
of from here if you want ics and gb roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938296
Here you can see how to use flashtool to flash new roms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74 . This tutotial is for arc s but the procedure is the same.
In any case i think ,since i read that jb on sony xperia p gives some problems, that you have to downgrade to ics (or even better gb since has good battery life and it's more stable) and wait for sony xperia p jb new firmware. Don't know when could arrive.

Don't know how it was for htc mate. Could you give me some details?
You had to cheat a bit because bootloader was locked and it didn't allow you to downgrade just by plugging the phone and run the whole firmware flashing procedure but I presume that it's not a problem so I'll stop bothering and just try to do it if I'll have any problems will get back to you for advise

got this update too. HK version
Thanks for this post! I just checked, and it is available in India, too. I was a bit disappointed that we not got the 526 even three days after HK and TW. I suppose 532 includes all those fixes, too.
C6833 users are we getting this also.
SOD is still there and the 2 min boot with backlight opt. off aswell.
Now I will try with the Sony Update Service with a full wipe...
Hard to believe...
so great, downloading now

Confirm the SOD problem still not solved.
just finished updating and sadly, the fake hang issue is sill there
Sony should receive some praise for being quick with the updates, but i think it would've been better if they actually fixed things
I feel lucky selling it off now. Release my tension about this stupid issue.
Is there any bugs for this update?
it be nice if sony started releasing change logs with their oh so frequent updates
sheeeesh
optimized background un ticked doesn't allow the the phone to sleep. and cause a mess of issues as far as phone hangs and such
Does anyone here remember if the Xperia Z had software problems when it got released? And if Sony fixed them?

I know. Been looking for the update daily for about a week now. Nothing.
I dont really mind though.......I have an occasional wifi drop out on 290 but nothing else serious. Also with my ZU I have held back on root/unlocking bootloader just because............it kinda does everything well without root! I remember a video by Adrian that eventually android would get to such a stage that root wouldn't be needed anymore (apart from customization). Maybe we are seeing the first step of that with sonys firmware? Obviously touchwiz, sense etc are different but Sony is pretty close to stock.

That's where I got my. 681rom. I downloaded the first one under "latest" 6833/6806 LTE roms. (US unbranded) but I don't seem to get connected using LTE even though the LTE icon is on.
Could it be the apn settings? Aren't they supposed to automatically get downloaded in the first setup after installing rom?
Are you using Us unbranded. Or the generic US one?

Battery life is good so far. My son watch netflix and it does not drain the battery as before. I had an issue where it frozed once, but that was an app that caused it. Other than than that , its working flawless.
And some people mentioned the heating issue on the back of the phone, i experienced it once and it went away. The phone is probably adjusting to new fixes. I still love this phone.
