Ok don't panic...same thing happend to me. Just use flashtool and flash latest factory firmware for your region and model number and you should be all good...

My advice: Stay on stock and use Xposed framework and GravityBox module
P.S. EFS folder is Samsung specific...maybe some others...but my Nexus 4 nor my wife Sony Xperia Z Ultra don't have it

Try Xposed framework and GravityBox module That is my recommendation
Xposed feamework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
GravityBox here or from within Xposed Framework app:

is this the same .62 FW that was released on Middle East and Africa region last month? or there are some changes?
Can I install doom kernel on this firmware?

Thank you! Your ftf files are so useful to me, just in case I can't recover my phone using SEUS.
However, I'd like a ftf for my specific region. Is there a way to create the .ftf from my phone? Thank you!
Hi,
@DrearierJester1
I could not find the change log so I can not help you much. On Spain seems that correct reboot problems on Neo V.
@kibol44
I think that it should work without problems.
@KaarlisK
If you could use the link of the tutorial of this web on Spanish, you could cook tft file

Is that option really necessary? It's not like you have so many settings in message menu
Yes, I know that FW is firmware, but I mean the exact name of the FW.
Yes, this option is important for me because by that sends more text messages through the use of letters ąęśćźłó

Hi Everyone,I Have Deodexed & Zipaligned Z3 Compact's 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.93 Firmware
This Was Meant For The Xperia™ Z3 Compact With The Model Number D5803 Or D5833
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader Currently
Rooted
CWM Recovery
After The Root Will Work On Locked Bootloader,You Can Also Flash This On Your Z3 Compact With Locked Bootloader
You Will Need To Have A Rooted ROM With CWM Recovery
You Must Be On This Firmware (.93) To Flash It
Please Note That The Zip Only Contained System App,Framework & Priv-App
It Was Recommended To Flash This Zip On A Generic Firmware That Doesn't Contain Carrier Apps
The Odex File Will Be Deleted During The Installation & The Carrier App May Not Work Properly Because This Is Based On Generic Firmware
Installation:
1.Download The Zip & Move It To Your Phone
2.Boot Into CWM Recovery & Flash It
3.Clear Cache & Dalvik Cache
4.Done
Download:
Deodexed & Zipaligned 4.4.4 23.0.A.2.93 Firmware ( 520.4 MB )

Hello people, I ran into a problem while flashing this rom.
I'm coming from Marshmellow, so I wiped /cache, /davlik and /system, then I flashed the rom and did factory reset.
Now I'm just getting the sony logo when trying to boot.
And can't enter the recovery.
please help,

I'm on a locked bootloader and flashed the twrp recovery on the downgraded stock marshmallow 23.5.A.0.575 via a .bat.
After encountering the problem I wrote about the other day, I reverted to stock marshmallow .291 with the xperia companion application and performed the mentioned downgraded once again.
Now I'm on a different Rom.
But I appreciate the help, thank you.

Haha missed that Part
i m going to do a new rom as soon as the new firmware on xperifirm will be able to download
Dear experts, I bought this phone recently and it came with 5.0.2, 14.5.A.0.270. I have rooted my phone and flashed dual recovery and have TA backup. bootloader is locked.
I want to flash 4.4.4 as I don't like lollipop. Can I just flash C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Customised IN.ftf.
Please help. Thanks.

READ THIS: BACKUP INTERNAL STORAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER. REMOVE EXTERNAL SD CARD!!!

I have done this a very long time ago, many times. Bare with me...I might not remember everything.
Follow this
Downgrade path 1 (very easy):
Download needed files
Download C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf
Flashing using flashtool
Flash EVERYTHING in the above ftf by @[NUT]
Reboot
Flash EVERYTHING in this ftf, (use the defaults) it will do the downgrade below so you will end up on .532 with a working IMEI ready to root with bin4ry's tool

You will end up with a device that thinks it is a C6833 but when you flash 4.3 or newer (.290 or .136) just use the one for your real model and the model number will be restored.

When the above is done choose a kitkat stock .ftf rom to flash. Choose an .ftf file to flash that matches your model: C6802,C6806, C6833, C6843, or SOL24.

I do not know which stock firmware is based on what android version. You have to look this up yourself.
I never used stock roms more than a month or so when first I bought my device. This was two years ago.
I will take a guess that 14.4.A.0.108 will be your choice of stock rom which is based on 4.4.4.
I do not know if there are any more recent stock roms that is based on kitkat or if they jumped to lollipop after this.
Notice: .118 is only a special release from carrier like vodaphone and some french carrier. So no need to download this firmware.
Thank you very much sir. I shall follow the links and your detailed tutorial and post back the results.

Rollback to 4.4
Hello,
I did the rollback yesterday as I couldn't bear Lollipop's bugs, slowdowns and so on...
All you have to do is to find a 14.4.A.0.108 firmware using XperiFirm which is included in Flashtool.

"Generic" firmwares are the ones to use if you have an unbranded phone (that is to say, not sold by a carrier).
Then you can follow this tutorial almost to the letter here: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool
Please post again if you have further questions.

XperiFirm, I have never seen this feature before. It must be new? Smart!
I don't use flashtool that often anyways..

Indeed, both were separated before, but then one of the devs thought it would be more convenient to get the two programs together in Flashtool.
Moreover, you don't need to create the FTF file yourself when you download through the XperiFirm included in Flashtool, Flashtool does it automatically if I remember well, avoiding the hassle to delete the "fwinfo" file that corrupts the FTF file when you create it on your own.
