Can I safely flash ST27i firmware to Xperia Advance (ST27a)?
Won't it screw up the bands?

uh?
I'm asking if it's safe.
ST27i is different than ST27a. UMTS bands are not the same and I don't want to brick my phone or damage anything.

I was asking why would you want to do it at all and not flash the firmware for your model?

The only .ftf file available for my phone in this forum keeps throwing some error in flashtool.

I have a ST27a, it's still on ICS and SUS says it's the latest fw available and I know for a fact it's not.
Downloaded a.1.100 fw file for ST27a and tried several times to flash it with flashtool but it was unsuccesful, it keeps throwing an error near the end of the flashing process. I was thinking on flashing ST27i fw to see if I can flash succesfully (to rule out phone damage or bad .ftf (for the ST27a version) even though I already downloaded the file three times).

Maybe there's no update for your region or carrier?
Would be better if someone make the file for you.
You can flash except basedband. Tick exclude baseband and flash the firmware directly.

you should change the CDA to Vietnam and let PC companion do the job. Never have any problem till now in my HK model with VN firmware
Noticed this rom does not flash the .510 kernal.
I flash the kernal only found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45070025&postcount=389) and everything is now working

What's the mean of "Vroot"? Help me, pls!
vroot is a way to root ur ZU without unlocking BL. Have a look at the thread titled "root step by step" or similarly, page 2, there's a link to download it. But it's in Chinese, and you REALLY have to figure out how to use it, or we in VN call it "đoán mò" ^^

it is a utilities to help you root the ZU. Download link here: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
very easy to use, just download, install, put your phone on usb debugging mode and enable unknown source, connect to pc, run vroot and CLICK ON THE GREEN BUTTON, and you're done haha.
After that you should install SuperSU from Google Play and than use Titanium Backup to disable (freeze) the Chinese Super user.
I've flashed .510 firmware to my Z Ultra. I got problem, i can't turn on wifi.
Have anyone got problem like me? :crying::crying::crying:

I am curious to know how the kernel was created since I was told that Sony devices will only flash signed images. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked to flash the kernel?
after flashing your FTF i pluged back my phone on the PC and PC companion asked me to update my phone to 14.1.B.1.510 ^^, also can't turn on wifi. Hope after update it'll do.

Yes, this is something like that, and the reason people can't turn on Wifi as well, so I think basically PC companion realise that you installed a wrong firmware, and so propose you to update signed for your device.
After updating phone working perfectly, Wifi turn on and phone really is fast
I have a C6833 and im trying to debrand it, as its currently on O2UK firmware but 14.1.B.1.510. Is there a stock WWE firmware out for this phone or a way to change the build.prop to allow Sony PC Companion to debrand it with a stock firmware.

use flashtool and flash the new one (14.1.B.1.526). Some members are saying they wish they had never modified their region in the build.prop

There is 532 that Sony will release in a few days... The new build number 14.1.B.1.532 (C6802, C6833 and C6806)
Ok, great. So in a few days we will have the newest 14.1.B.1.532 ftf file.

Yeah but its just a small update... nothing major. But will help with your situation
Will a full ftf file be released or just the small update, I presume it will be the full file so it can flash a phone to stock.

Can you provide your build.prop mate, it would be a great help.

Can anyone clarify the ftfs available? I see them from many different countries but only one carrier in Canada is up to date at .292. Should I go with that one or another one that is .277 and then hope for an OTA?

Use XperiFirm to download the firmware you want and FlashTool to create a ftf.[emoji6]
And if you flash another country ftf you will still be able to get OTAs.[emoji14]

You just need to uncheck "wipe userdata" in FlashTool.

Flash any customised region ftf you like as long as it's your device's model no. Only real difference is a few pre installed apps vary from region to region and some say 4g instead of lte when on a data connection. Also do include anything with simlock.ta in the ftf you are flashing as only Sony service centre can reserect it.
