Hi , i wasnt so satisfied with my new update , little lags and mode reasons
So i was wondering if i can downgrade to the older build? Please help
You can use flashtool to flash a FTF
(there is a Thread at the top of the general section whwre you can find all avaliable FTFs for Z2)
(flashtool from > flashtool.net)
Hint~ holding volume down is flashmode, volume up is fastboot
if you need anything just reply, i assume your competent enough to figure out the simple parts

Gee thanks dude ! I owe you one
just one question though ... how can I know what was my previous version to flash ? or it doesn't matter ? I just choose which one I want ?
If it does matter ... how can I know what to choose and if it doesn't then what should I choose ?
PS : I am already familiar with all the XDA stuff , (rooting unlocking boot loaders , "customizing" and all that).. but I am new on Sony products I don't want to break any thing haHA

Bigger the total number the newer the firmware is
I recomend the one that ends in 314
(dont remember entire build number)
(its the only one that ends in 314 i do believe)

No I know how to find my current build , I am just wondering , there are different versions of the same version , for example : there are 12 regions or more that have one version , which region should I use as my region doesnt show in the list ... I am from Israel and I dont see any Israel word in the list XD
so I can choose careless of my region ? like if I choose 314 UK will it work properly ? or how does that work exactly ?
If you've never flashed a different region or firmware, then type the following in your dialer:
*#*#SERVICE#*#*
Then select service info, then software info.
That should tell you what customization number and region you currently have. Then go to the link posted above, and find that same region firmware but for 314

Interesting question my friend
But I dont think its possible , because by downgrading you be using Flashtool and it does wipe every thing (not including photos and other personal stuff if youre backed up with an SD card in your phone ...) but to be honest I dont know any other way that doesnt wipe any thing if you find out let me know
PS : I did downgrade , and it did wipe the whole phone storage

I'm not sure but i thought that the yellow tint is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with software whatsoever.

I don't think someone will ever notice that you didn't install the official over the air update you were supposed to get.
And also, it's not like you unlocked the phone and installed a custom rom. It's still an official Sony rom.
I don't see any obvious reason why a repair center would check your firmware version. After all it's a known issue and the solution to the problem is there.
And no, i don't have a backup image or so of my stock firmware.
There was a post here on xda with all GB tft files and there was a Belgium one.
Just search for that post, I can't seem to find it anymore tho

I think of it like this, your phone arrives at the repair center. The person who has to repair it reads what is wrong with it. He then says: "Ah, i see, the yellow tint issue. Time to get to work, but not without checking the software version first".
It's a very unlikely scenario if you ask me. He's just going to fix the screen, check if it still works completely and maybe do some additional tests in the service menu or so.
But you could indeed just do what Hitmax117 mentioned, just to be sure.

Hello,
I have tried lot of different ROMS and Kernels and patches etc. I haven;t copied anything from my original native ROM from GSM operator.
I suppose that I have problems with signal as I have low signal level in big city, I also have problems with 3g internet network.
What should I check/ override ? I think that kernel ? Is that anyone could link me propper kernel for use in Poland? If not kernel any other package - as I remember in old, Windows Mobile devices that was something called 'RADIO'
I also have problems with random restarts, no signalling of incoming calls, random switches to plane mode and battery drain.

I'm so confused!!
I have Sony Xperia L C2015 - Android 4.2.2 - 15.3.A.1.17
I have done Root access successfully, and my Bootloader still locked, I used this method to root my phone " http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/root-firmware-15-3-1-12-t2591290".
Now I need to make Factory Reset to clean everything then Reroot then Install my apps in a clean condition .
Now the question is:
How to make factory reset and return back to the original condition of the phone?????
Knowing that I'm not an expert, so please anyone give an easy tutorial
I appreciate any help ... Thanks
Hello there.
The best way I would recommend is to flash stock firmware.
To flash stock firmware. You will need the following.
A. Flast tool.
B. The firmware you want. (preferably 1.14 firmware)
C. Usb cable.
D. PC.
Follow the steps below.
Download the Flash tool.(links provided).
Download the Firmware, Stock FTF links provided.
Install the Flash tool and the drivers for your device.
Install fastbook and flashboot drivers too.
Click the thunder symbol.
Choose Flash mode.
Browse to choose the firmware you downloaded.
Power off your phone and connect your phone to the computer via USB while holding the power down button.
The phone will be flashed.
Once it is done, You will have your phone in factory settings.
Feel free to customize it.
Hit the thanks button if i helped.

Thanks mate
Now there is two other things:
1- I had already downloaded the 15.3.A.1.17 firmware ftf, I afraid to be not the original one, and someone had edited it, how could I now that this firmware is the original one from Sony??
2- If it is the original firmware, then, once I flashed it with the flashtool, my phone will return to be unrooted and I'll receive the OTA updates normally as any unrooted phone?
Thanks for your effort bro.
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You will get OTA updates. Even with the 1.14 version. That version is not modified or anything. All FTFs are original ones. And All receive OTA updates as it will if it was never rooted. Unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Incase you have an unlocked bootloader, you have to lock your bootloader to get OTA updates.
Hit the thanks button if i have helped you.
Ok, thanks bro. for your help

Feel free to ask me for any help you need. Even if you plan on upgrading your phone to KitKat viz the so many ROMs we have for our phone!
Another Question
I had read many people threads that they flashed firmwares but they had an issue, that the region is not true, like Hong kong or UK.
How could I know that this region is mine, and how can I check the region area on my phone ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that possible to return to the stock state by using Sony PC Companion directly without any flashing or anything that the luck is playing a big role ??
There wont be any problem. I personally have never had any problems. Even though i have done this for years!

Where do you live? Check the firmware list to see if there is any firmware for your region. If not, download the world firmware
I live in India. So i download the Indian firmware. Well, I use the world firmware though
Which of all the stock firmware is bug free for our z ultra? no lag, battery life, everything working perfect. I am reading everywhere that people where having trouble with kitkat, lollipop with sound, camera, reboots, freezing and so on
I think you should experience it on your own, because not everyone has those problems, for me it is. 283

Perfect thanks i will try theme if I can find ftf files, I found 2 and will give theme a try later today
There is a program called XperiFirm from which you can download any ftf you want from any carrier, market and for any model, just select your desired model and firmware, download the package and make note of its location on your PC, then fire up flashtool, select bundle -> create, navigate to the place I've mentioned earlier, choose the phone's model from the grey list, add customisation and version if you like and add the parts at the bottom, then click create, when it is created you are ready to flash it, it will already be available in the flashing menu sorry for my English, it is not my native lang but I've tried to explain it as hard as I could, you can find better explanations with pics in the XperiFirm thread

I haven't paid attention to that... It looks quite okay with no abnormal battery drain. But I can't say whether it's better than 5.0.2 when it comes to battery life.
However, more than battery life, I can tell you that you'll experience a phone far more smoother and pleasant to use with 4.4.4... Now that's only my opinion but I have noticed a world of difference between the two (4.4.4 vs 5.0.2).

It could be the phone model number(3 models) and it might be the baseband or even the software version.
What is your model number?
It should be in about device in settings, or written under the battery cover or on the back of the phone.

You have to find a way to get the build number, i can't help you without it.
Check the back of the device, under the battery, or check the box where the phone was.
