Flash stock Indian 4.4.2 ftf and recheck.

Hi,
You mentioned you are rooted , so i assume you have recovery.
Search for the tread for a prerooted LP Firmware zip and flash over your current Firmware.
I did it, and its working great.

ray: how to get back to real Stock firmware?

hey,
i flashed cyanogenmod on my ray.. but after all u flashed the stock rom again from this forum (ftf via flashtool).
the thing is that SE companion software says (if i want to update /repair my firmware) that the firmware is modified and it wonmt update it. now my question: do i now always have to flash the new roms (for example when ICS will come) or is there a method to get back to the real stock rom so that SE companion will update/repair the firmware?
im on android 2.3.4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316070)
its rooted and the kernel is still the one from the cyanogenmod (i think- well, i didnt flash any new kernels after cyanogenmod..just flashed the rom)
bootloader is unlocked
hope you can help me..thx
yes after unlocking bootloader you always have to install stock firmwares via flash tool
use wotan server , it is a great way to install stock rom
hmm okay thanks! .. btw is there a way to lock the bootloader again so i can install the firmware with SE again?
thanks for the tip!

[Q] Question Regarding Flashing D6503 Frimware On D6502

hello people
i bought a new z2 (D6502) and it came with 4.4.4 preinstalled
and i want to root the phone so after some searching i found out that i have to downgrade to .314
and i was wondering.would it be ok to flash a .314 D6503 frimware on my phone so i can root and flash a pre rooted .167?
because the weird thing is that i live in the middle east.my phone came with full arabic support but when searched here i couldn't find a D6502 firmware for middle east region that supports arabic .neither .314 or .167
only found such firmware for the D5603
how come then my phone fully supports arabic
thanx in advance
No you cant
The phone will still work but wifi and mobile data so its useless essentialy.
ok but then i can flash the pre rooted package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-4-4-4-23-0-1-0-167-bug-free-t2929402
and install the D6502 patch he provided
would that work
also.any idea then why then i have a 4.4.4 with full arabic support yet i cant find the ftf file in the stock firmwares thread
You should be good to flash that
And the FTF thread only has what people request usualy or need.
very well then i'll flash the D6503 .314 then flash the pre rooted package of .167 with D6502 patch
i now but i couldn't find it anywhere as well
is there a tool i can use to extract the current firmware on my device as a ftf file to keep it in case anything happened?perhaps upload it here as well so people like me in the ME can benefit from it
btw thanx alot for the help

Will i lose ROOT ?

Hi all
I have a Xperia Z2 SGP521. I downgraded to version 17.1.A.2.69
I did that with Flashtool. Afterwards i rooted with Towelroot and installed SUPERSU.
Now i have full root.
I get the message that there is an OTA update. Can i do that without loosing ROOT ?????
Can i flash the stock Lollipop ROM without loosing ROOT (from Experifirm) ?
Does someone have a firmware package (FTF) prerooted wich i can flash with flashtool. I dont want to flash recovery....because i lost all my data triing that
If you find this Q to be obsolete because it is asked a million times......neglect it.
There is so mucg info on this but not with the ezact firmwares i use or wanna use and i have been told this device can brick easy. So this Q is to be shure !!!
THNX in advance forhelping comments.

Can be closed !!!!!!!

How does locked bootloader protect the device?

Hi everyone,
I recently flashed my G8342 to another region android 8.0 (yes, downgrade) through flashtool.
The ftf files that i downloaded is not come from XperiaFirm, since there is no way to download old firmware from official sony website for this device.
In this case, is the device still safe ? I did not unlock any bootloader or rooting the device.
Thank you.
You should be fine...

Hi.
Flash firmware via newflasher or flashtool won't change status of bootloader,and device after Xperia XZs can't relock the bootloader.
Don't be afraid, your device is still safe.
