Well, i think you won't be able to do that, as flashtool probably checks what device is connected.

C6833 Ultra, Debrand to stock Firmware

I have a C6833 and im trying to debrand it, as its currently on O2UK firmware but 14.1.B.1.510. Is there a stock WWE firmware out for this phone or a way to change the build.prop to allow Sony PC Companion to debrand it with a stock firmware.

use flashtool and flash the new one (14.1.B.1.526). Some members are saying they wish they had never modified their region in the build.prop

actually that one wont work with LTE...
There is 532 that Sony will release in a few days... The new build number 14.1.B.1.532 (C6802, C6833 and C6806)
Ok, great. So in a few days we will have the newest 14.1.B.1.532 ftf file.

Yeah but its just a small update... nothing major. But will help with your situation
Will a full ftf file be released or just the small update, I presume it will be the full file so it can flash a phone to stock.

Never done it sorry mate... new to Sony devices. One of the other guys will help I'm sure.
Can you provide your build.prop mate, it would be a great help.

[Q] st27i fw on st27a

Can I safely flash ST27i firmware to Xperia Advance (ST27a)?
Won't it screw up the bands?

uh?
I'm asking if it's safe.
ST27i is different than ST27a. UMTS bands are not the same and I don't want to brick my phone or damage anything.

The only .ftf file available for my phone in this forum keeps throwing some error in flashtool.

I have a ST27a, it's still on ICS and SUS says it's the latest fw available and I know for a fact it's not.
Downloaded a.1.100 fw file for ST27a and tried several times to flash it with flashtool but it was unsuccesful, it keeps throwing an error near the end of the flashing process. I was thinking on flashing ST27i fw to see if I can flash succesfully (to rule out phone damage or bad .ftf (for the ST27a version) even though I already downloaded the file three times).

Maybe there's no update for your region or carrier?
Would be better if someone make the file for you.
You can flash except basedband. Tick exclude baseband and flash the firmware directly.

FTF older than .402 for SGP512?

I have the 32GB Wifi ONLY Z2 Tablet, and I was wondering if anyone has or can find the FTF file for any version older than .402. I would really like to use the new root exploit but I need an FTF file older than .402. Thanks!

I'm looking for the same. Can we use SGP511 FTF, or does it have to be SGP512? I guess not that many people have SGP512.

I would think you could use the sgp511's ftf. I'm not entirely sure tho.

Actually I can confirm that you can't.
I am also looking fot a FTF older than .402 for the SGP512 (32GB)
I don't understand why someone wouod buy the 16gb version anyway when loads of the space is already used up by the os before you start putting apps on. Surely the extra cash is worth double the storage after paying so much for it in the first place!

I have received my Z2 tablet 32gb wifi and it's running .36 - I'm willing to make an FTF if someone can tell me how to make one copying directly from the device. All the guides I have found are how to make it from the Sony Companion files and of course, when I connect it now, it just offers me 402, not the version that's currently on there.

[Question][Flashtool]

Hi, I have a E2333 still no MM update, I don't want to wait anymore... Is it possible to flash (via Flashtool) a firmware that as a different CDA number?
Thanks

Flash any customised region ftf you like as long as it's your device's model no. Only real difference is a few pre installed apps vary from region to region and some say 4g instead of lte when on a data connection. Also do include anything with simlock.ta in the ftf you are flashing as only Sony service centre can reserect it.
