I come from 4.2 pre-rooted deodexed rom. Can I just flash the zip file of Dogg Rom v4.3 from recovery or do I have to flash. 290 FTF first?
Thanks

I posted it here cause apparently after 3 years of being on XDA, I can't post in developer's section, because I never had anything to ask!

I have not tried from 4.2 stock, but no harm in trying. Just have the latest flashtool ready and a 290 .ftf. You do have an unlocked bootloader as well?
Yes, but I don't have a good Internet at the moment so I wanted to skip the download of FTF

@hamdogg ?
you may have to flash the boot.img from the .zip to get a working recovery? read post 3 of DogGrom!
If it all goes to pot you will want a ftf to flash to get a working phone again... and alwar use protection - if have a backup

Hi all...
umm yes it should work. I've not tried flashing ontop of 4.2.2.... but its a sony base, and the most important files will be replaced when you flash the new ROM...
But like blue said... if it doesn't work then you'll need to
1- flash the .290 FTF
2- then recovery, and then
3 -doggROM..

There's not much between DoggRom and stock, and that would be my preference, Just flash from recovery with a wipe
For pure stock you could read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576006
Just flash .290 ftf for your device
then follow the first post.

If you are going the ftf route then there is no need to wipe before hand, the options are in flashtool (I just use default)
FTF's can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921

Question for you. I have an unlocked Sony XZU C6806, running stock 4.3. I am trying to achieve root so I can flash custom roms. Do you know where I go for that?
Ok, now i'm really confused.
I'm currently on 757 firmware and I want to flash the GPe on it. What exactly do I have to do?
LordManhattan's thread simply requires me to flash some files but the GPe thread needs me to flash boot.img or something.
Can anyone coach me step by step? I've never tried to flash a darn phone with so many prerequisites... It was so much easier playing with the LG and hTc

From stock 757 with unlocked bootloader:
Copy ROM zip to sdcard of phone
Flash boot.img from the ROM zip using flashtool and fastboot mode. the boot.img will have recovery already in it
Boot the phone into recovery, vol + or - while booting
Factory reset (or format data and wipe caches
Flash the ROM zip from recovery
Reboot into system
I assume you have followed lordmanhattan's guide and have:
Downgraded
Rooted
Backed up TA
Unlocked bootloader
Updated firmware to the latest

So it is okay to directly downgrade from 757?
And what do you mean by updated firmware to the latest?
And the boot.img in the ROM package, does it already contain the recovery?

You want to downgrade to root? if so then yes - see my downgrade sticky thread in the general section for a guide
After rooting/backing up TA/unlocking bootloader you will want to flash the latest firmware again to get the new baseband, and a few other things else any custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM's won't boot and/or will have IMEI issues

Ok to be honest, im trying to flash that ROM because the recent 757 firmware was supposed to fix the sound bug issue. It worked for others' ZU except for mine. Pretty pissed that all SONY said to me was to bring my phone down for a repair, hence i was hoping i could fix it by flashing another ROM.
I downgraded to .532 then updated it back to 757. Seems like it is a hardware problem...
WOW. I'M AN IDIOT. I DECIDED TO WASH MY PHONE UNDER THE TAP BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DIRTY. AND SOMEHOW, THAT FIXED THE SOUND BUG. SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE.
Close this thread please, I'm an idiot. Thanks blueether for your help!
You don't read very well do you?
All the steps needed were there with an explanation of why (where needed).
Next time you you need/want to flash your ZU take the time to read the steps, and ask questions if you aren't sure about a step or why some said to do something a certain way or to see a certain thread...
ps good to see you have the sound working again

But just to confirm, does all boot.img definitely contains the recovery also?

No. Only custom (CM11, PA, PAC, GPe etc.) and modified ROMs (DoggROM, Monx etc.)

So am I right to say that the boot.img from the GPe rom in the development forum already contains the recovery?

Correct, but only the tweaked version. That's an isolated case though, so the rest of them will have recovery.

Hi...I'm in the same position as you...can you please explain how exactly you managed to fix it?
For reference, my C6802 was on stock .757 firmware, then I flashed the unofficial SlimKat rom and kernel from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065. Everything works in the rom except it doesnt connect to my mobile network.
Thanks a lot!

Not the same issue ( or at least shouldn't be).
In about phone settings do you have a valid imei no. and baseband?
Have you tried any other ROMs?

Thanks for the response blueether! In the phone settings it says Unknown for both baseband and imei. I found this thread where you helped another person with almost the same problem I guess, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738141) and you have told him to follow these steps:
"Just do as has been said a thousand times...
Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread
Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide
Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide
Upgrade to latest FTF
Unlock bootloader
Root using jackies099's kernel
..."
So I'm downloading a .532 FTF and will try out these steps once the download finishes in a while. As I understand, when I upgrade to the latest FTF (.757 now?) the imei/baseband should return.

IMEI/baseband should be fine if you were on 757 and flashed slim.
You could just try reflashing any 4.4 FTF you have laying around while you wait for the other one to download

Not sure why they vanished. Unfortunately I'm sort of a noob and don't have any FTFs lying around. I read some more threads and now I'm wondering what I should try first?
A - Flash 290 FTF then downgrade to 532
or
B - Straightaway flash 532 FTF
or
C - Flash 757 FTF

"flash 290" was written a long time ago when it was the 'current' firmware. I would flash 757 first and see how that works out.
Soo... I have a Bell C6806. My question to all the great devs out there: Is it possible to flash from the .532 stock rooted to .757 stock rooted? When flashing do I flash both the zipable file and the tft or can I just go into TWRP flash the zipable and that's it?

The simple answer is to sell the Bell and buy a real c6806
The other way is to follow one of the several 757 threads for LB (locked bootloader). They should work for the Bell

It's been too long since I played with a locked bootloader, but follow the instructions in the thread. You will need both files from memory one is the system the other is the kernel and baseband etc
I rooted my device
I unlocked the Bootloader with Sony's Key
I flashed the new kernel with this 136.Img
DONT know what happened after that ..I have both the recoveries...
But my phone isn't going past the Sony Logo.

I tried, but it threw some error. I have a Mac...that's the problem. I somehow managed to flash a PA ROM...so at least my device is working.
Man, you are flashing kitkat kernel to lollipop rom, just don't, it won't boot, flash either .270 or .283 kernel or if you want a custom one, flash rockzul kernel.
