Hello guys , i need a little help
i'm running a custom ROM , can i return to my original firmware and receive OTA normaly from sony ?
if the answer's yes / so tell me how i know and download the exact firmware for my region
Thanks
yes u can go to orignal firmware and recieve OTA but if u root the orignal firmware u will not recive OTA. to go back to orignal firmware first download flashtool and secondly download xperiafirm and download the ftf of your choice and flash it using flashtool. follow this guide to flash.this is to flash lollipop firmware but u download the firmware of your choice and follow the same steps. www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/

i tried xperiafirm app but the flashtool can't see the file i downloaded, can i download a lolipop first then update it to MM ?
and do i need to lock bootloader before or after flashing the Original ROM ?
thats weird. make sure your ftf firmware file is placed here. C:\Users\your pc name\.flashTool\firmwares
>>Download ftf from the ROM section of the phone in XDA
>> Keep it in the right place inside the flashtool usually C:\Users\your PC\.flashTool\firmwares
if you are not using the old flashtool.
>>sometimes if it did not show up.
so you may need to rename your downloaded file from .zip to .ftf so it shows in the firmware folder
and all is good now , just flash it keeping or wiping data whatever you need.
Cheers

A- Download flashtool in here, extract it somewhere

B- Download this 2.3 ftf tested file, put the file inside the flashtool in the "firmware" folder, press flash button in the Flashtool and connect usb cable holding BACK button of the phone

Can i use the system dump to restore using xrecovery 0.3?
Apparently also works with other generic firmwares, such as the DE one.
works for me as well. I am on a branded X10a Rogers phone in Canada. Flashed the above ftf and everything works perfect. I was on J's CM7 at that time.
It's working!!

I looked in sony forum here and they say you have to relock bootloader (but flash stock kernel first and I don't know where you can get the stock kernel to download) to update via pc companion or update service
So just look around for the untweaked stock kernel or make a new thread where you are searching for it

download the ftf file of the stock rom and using this thread to extract ftf files you can get kernel.sin which can be flashed.
Am I right?

I don't know exactly.
But if it's like this, you needn't extract it. Just open flashtool and click on the flash -> flashmode -> and there you can exclude all files like system etc and just kernel is unmarked, so it will flash only the kernel...
Just flash stock kernel again, then download stock firmware and flash it via Flashtool
flash ftf on Flashtool
confusion as a simple thing to download your official Stock ROM file in ftf format. After applying via FlashTool in modol FlashBoot only that. Kernel Standard ja is automatically installed and all its default settings.
: Rir:
People, people...why post when you don't know what you're talking about??. The reason stock ftf gets flashed is because it already contains stock kernel!! duh!
About unlocked bl, you only need to relock it if you plan on updating through pcseus, which isn't vital since you can flash any firmware from downloaded ftf, aside from that there are no other pros or cons to unlocked bl
now its all done, just updated wit pc companion, worked well. but now i need to root my device to use titanium backup.
is the latest version of android are possible to root?
Flash any rooted kernel, people have reported extended and mesa to be working fine. (if bootloader is unlocked)
Otherwise this method is also reported to be working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26914104#post26914104
grazie
Download official stock firmware from Sony site and flash it via flashtool.. Now to relock bootloader. Google the query and you'll get the solution easily...

You need to relock bl, if u used the test point method then u need to start S1 Tool and click Restore button, but if u used the official method, u will need to flash this with flash tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?1ytip94lm2yojjl and then u will be able to update with SE PC

U20i Stock ROM ftf 2.1.1.A.0.6
Searched a lot for U20i stock rom ftf but couldn't find it. So created the ftf using PC Companion.
NOTE : ITS ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AS I HAVE NOT TESTED IT ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER. SO PLEASE TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download and install Flashtool and its drivers.
2. Move the file U20i_2.1_2.1.1.A.0.6.ftf to C:\Flashtool\firmware folder.
3. Open flashtool and flash normally. Done :good:

Be carefull downloading from 3rd party

here is my backup http://www.mediafire.com/file/pkzjo1r363quoif/flashtool-0.9.11.0-windows.exe/file
I have some stock ROMs here, in case the other link dies:

I'm not sure what the difference is between A.0.6 and C.0.0, but all are:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel 2.6.29

I'm looking to flash 32.3.A.0.376 (Customized AU) onto my Z5 Compact which is currently on 32.2.A.0.305 (Telecom NZ) because I heard 'Customized' firmwares don't come with bloatware and the carrier boot animation.
Is there anything I need to know or do before I flash the firmware? Perhaps backing up the TA partition (or whatever it's called, not too sure.) or do you only do that if you root? Do I even need an unlocked bootloader to flash this official Sony firmware straight from Xperifirm?
Thanks.
Just finished downloading 32.3.A.0.376 using Xperifirm.
No unlocked bootloader needed to flash ftf with flashtool. But there is still bloatware in the firmware.
Hi! I've downloaded the firmware throw Xperifirm, Do I need to make a TFT file or something? Is my first time hehe and I haven't seen any updated tutorial about this

Right, you need a .ftf file. If you started Xperifirm through the button in flashtool, after closing XF, flashtool will make the file automaticly.
The tutorial stays the same, you need no updated one.

I wouldn't know about what you are doing, but version 9.18 worked for me when newer versions didn't. Maybe give it a try.

For flash tool, the ROM file needed is .ftf format. To flash .img ROM you need to use Command line to flash
