Hello!
I need the ServiceMenu.apk from older XZU firmware. The latest one (4.4.4-13) does not include "Calibration" options. I need to calibrate my proximity sensor, but I do not want to revert the current FW to earlier (warranty issues). If smbd can copy it from the previous version and share it with me, I will be grateful!
Cheers, Kamen!

Flashing an older FTF shouldn't void the warranty if you cant find the correct region try XperiFirm to get the correct one then use flashtool to make a ftf

I have some issue when flashing fotakernel.sin that's why I'd prefer avoiding flashing any FTF. I guess someone has made a nandroid backup with a previous version of the servicemenu.apk, so I'll wait for him to provide

Hi,
I'd like to experiment with kamarush's roms for the mini pro. They seem fast and stable, and better than the official ics update for now.
However,
I always need to go through wotanserver to be able to downgrade, as I have a Belgian Azerty version, and I can't find the correct firmware online.
So... How can I back up the full firmware that is now on my device?
(Stock Mini Pro, 2.3.4 build 62, not rooted)
You can't create a .ftf file from your phone (only through Sony Update Service and MAYBE through PC Companion, wait for someone to confirm this). So I think you could:
a) Try a Software Repair through PC Companion (if someone confirms it), that will download your original firmware. Then check the forum for a tutorial about how to create .ftf files.
b) Root, install CWM Recovery and create a full backup. If you want to come back to stock ROM, just flash whichever .ftf file, root, install CWM and restore your backup. That should do it.

I am looking for this kind of confirmation. Is it possible to create a .ftf file using PC companion?

Probably...But you will need a COMPLETE update not a minor update ...As in .431 to .587 is a minor update but .62 to .587 is a major update and you might be able to get the binary blobs to make FTF ...Best way is using SEUS however ...You can't go wrong with it ...
Also probably you are better off creating new thread rather than bumping 1 and a half year threads ...

their is no need to back up tft file since stock files are availabl to download AND flash ( require which version your phone having CHECK YOUR PHONE SETTING)
as well their is sony update service to repair and update your phone.
by the way you can do one thing if you really wanna back up just root your phone install CWM And do nandroid recovery (back up)
for further help look into my Sony live with walkman post (kinda boring) but it will help you in future.

Yes I'm using older version. It fails to flash any system.sin when flashing FTF, and when flashing kernels it says the device must be rooted first. was on cm13 and when I wanted to revert back and flash older Android version it fooked up. I have other 3 or 4 xplays and they reverted back from cm13 custom partition just fine..
second on reup request if possible
Sorry for the late response, i never deleted it from my Mega account and i was not aware the links where broken.
I moved on from this phone long ago so i don't check the forum very often, but the file is now available once more for those with bricks.
Thanks, i think this can be very helpful
Thanks for this. Needed to do a reflash to stock as something had become corrupted with mine and wouldnt load any apps. Havent used flashtool for years and was surprised that I managed to flash with windows 10 64 bits too which I wasnt expecting.

I do not have a copy of the Tmobile FTF, however since your device is a r800i ReFlash should work for you and changes it to a non branded Xperia Play.
Hello!
I have a wifi version Z4 tablet purchased in germany. I am looking at upgrading to the UK firmware because it is newer than the one for German model. Does anyone know if this will work, and if so, do you have any pointers???
Thanks in advance!
I am on swiss (CH) version for the same reasons.
Just try it and tell us.
If you do not like it you go back to the ROM you have now.
Seems that the newer flashtool version will support our tablet z4 but i´m not sure what has to be done since a FSC file is now needed...
Done!
Just followed instructions I found on the Internet and it worked!
So anyone can upload the needed template script for Tablet Z4 LTE 771?
get the latest flashtool

I'm using latest flashtool but template file is needed i think. Can't flash without it
I bought USA version of Xperia Z4 Tablet and have to install Russian version of firmware. I downloaded SGP712_CIS RU-UA-KZ-BY_1295-7241_28.0.A.8.260_R6A and used flashtool 0.9.22.3 to make and flash ftf.
1. flashtool asked me: "A FSC script is found: default.fsc. Do you want to add it?". Am I need to use it or I have to make ftf file without default.fsc script?
2. When I tried to flash produced ftf file flashtool asked: "Those data are not in the FSC script and will be skipped: B2B.". Is it safe to flash this ftf?
please do some research...

Could someone upload just the .69 kernel because I dont want to download the entire ftf just to flash the baseband.
Edit: My device is the D6503, so please upload the correct kernel version (I don't know if it is the .69 one or the .55 one)
Thanks in advance
P.S I want it because I want to give the drm restore zip a shot, and I think that it might work if the phone has the appropriate baseband.
Anyone??
Does anyone have this issue?
I flashed the latest Oreo zip with twrp & used that for some days. now I want to revert back to stock .291 ftf.
But flashtool fails. I used the same flashtool, same firmware files multiple times to revertback to stock. But now It says
.....Something like not for this device... >Older flashtool(searched & found this solution but not worked)
...Something like bundle is not valid...>The flashtool that I used before & successfully flashed.
Those error indicates my firmware file isn't for my device. but Believe me IT IS~!!
But to clear my understanding I downloaded fresh firmware from Xperifirm not worked.
Then I searched and downloaded firmware from XDA but ALAS! Not worked either.
I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 different versions of flashtool but nothing positive.
I think, Flashing oreo made some changes to our device & it's no longer a Xperia z2(on software sense i mean).
What to do. Anyone tried flashing stock .291 or any other older firmware after flashing OREO???
Sony Z2-D6503

No Problem being a Unlocked z2!
I have unlocked it on 2015. since then I did everything(including official ftf firmware flashing) NO ISSUES EVER.

Which file contains password? I don't remember having a password but if the firmware zip file has a pass then I can upload the ftf file without password as I have extracted it already.
If it's flashtool then just install any old version.
