HI there. Im new to experia device. just got some things to ask before I proceed on rooting my device.
My device info:
Device: d6503
Firmware: 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.0.167)
Customization number: 1281-4652 (Germany)
BTW, im using the device here at Philippines, and its working fine
My questions are:
1. Im gonna downgrade to 4.4.2, which firmware should I flash? uhm the one easier to root
2. Is it safe to flash firmwares meant for other countries?will it still work here on our country?i
3.1 more thing, if I flash a branded firmware will I get simlock?
Thanks in advance..
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
1. 314 because this is rootable
2. yes/no, D6503 on D6502 means wifi and mobile data wont work
3. doesnt matter what country, can be flashed across any Z2
3.1 - im not sure but id exclude the simlock file in flashtool before flashing a FTF

Nothing exciting about this update. Phone is no faster and needs a root option.
is there a way to update this without loosing data? thanks...

if you use DoomLords kernel u should be able to root via flashtool or SOC as it is an insecure kernel. i think....

I'd wait for a new Kernal based on the new firmware. Also if you unselect "wipe user data" you should keep your data. I did but I lost the root from my phone.
Just make sure you backup first

After many time trying to find here is the Japanese Xperia Play (SO-01D) Docomo Branded in .ftf format ready to flash using Flashtool.
Tested by me in a 800i device without any problem (i recommend the use of Titanium Backup to "clean" the Rom because have many useless Japanese Apps.)
I'm Using Doomkernel V14 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502) and 1.5 Overclock with Antutu Cpu Master

Strange enough, when I try to load the firmware into the latest flashtool 0.8.0.0 it doesnt show the list in wich you can see the parts it will flash. And then when i click flash it seems to cancel it.
EDIT: also on the previous version of flashtool I get the same thing (0.7.1.0)
If I back to stock, probably I will use this ROM as base.
I have 2 question.
1) Can we use Jokawild, Truanchestor (or any Stock based rom) on this rom ?
2) Where can we see the new or old japanese firmwares ?

It's possible now that the ROM is in the hands of XDA. Patience is the key.
Has anyone flashed this and noticed significant improvement over .62?
wait... wasnt this released before .62?

Not a bad download, problem is with mine too. but here's how I did it.
Use 7Zip to extract kernel.sin and system.sin.
then use flashtool to flash "system.sin" to phone.
i'm using DoomKernel V14 and works ok.

any performance improvement?

Can't say that I see any perfomance increase. Baseband only control modem so it should only make a difference in gsm signal, not in phone perfomance, that's rom and kernel job.

Hey, anonymous, when flashing this ROM, should I exclude anything? I remember 'TA' should be excluded to avoid sim lock issues...
Since this is for a different model - shouldn't kernel is excluded, I am wondering if I should exclude everything but 'BASEBAND'...?

after this you want to flash stock.ftf. or something you should tick exclude badeband option otherwise you baseband should be a stock one!
Thank You! I didn't flash stock rom after it, flashed CM 10.2 directly. It's working in WT19i.

BB work flawlessly with CM rom in coconut. I am getting a bit better reception and battery life.
I got an XPERIA Z2, at first I replace the mainboard for a new one since it was damaged by me. after that, I'm always experiencing the phone hang and it takes to the point I decided to flash it with a new ROM. Every time I do that it works fine but after a week or 2 the phone freezes again. The same process but using different ROM but still happens again.

Check only those two boxes and leave the rest untouched. Also better start flashing with older firmwares like 17.1 or 17.2 which are on Android 4.4 and 5.0 respectively then flash the latest 23.5.A.1.291 all through flashtool.

If that's the case than it seems more likely your MM firmware is corrupted, download another one and try flashing it again.

Try flashing the firmwares ever released in reverse-chronological order until you found one stable and stay on it.
