I'm trying to downgrade to MM so I can backup my TA partition, however, I can't seem to find the stock MM ROM anywhere! I have all of the ADB tools and flashtool for windows. But I need to download the ROM. Does anyone have any links and/or instructions on how to downgrade to MM?

You can see this post for downloading MM firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/how-to/sonyx-f5121-downgrade-8-0-0-to-7-1-1-to-t3754986
After that install MM via flashtool and then proceed by saving the TA partition

Thanks for the links. I don't see the US (5121) firmware listed, though. Is that not available anymore?

Is it Nougat or Oreo?

Hi, may I know what version you came from before downgrading to MM? Is it Nougat or Oreo?

hi,
I started this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/upgrading-55-to-314-t2860394
but ran into an issue. Since I didn't get any updates on that thread, I thought I would make a post dedicated to the problem I'm running into.
basically while attempting to upgrade to .314 using PC Companion I get
The phone tablet contains modified software that cannot be updated
Sony Updated Engine failure (error 2003)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with some research it appears that this is because i unlocked my bootloader.
Questions:
is my conclusion correct? or is this because of something else?
if correct, what is the recommended course of action here? relock bootloader and update using companion PC or decrypt FTF files and flash using flashtool?
If i relock bootloader using flashtool, will it wipe my phone data?
I've found the firmware files on my computer (C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs) If i decrypt these with flashtool and use them to update firmware, will it wipe my data?
Thanks
You can update via flashtool without looking data. Flash ftf file and check system only and uncheck wipe. Re- locking bootloader will wipe your phone. Your assumption is correct m8. You can't update your phone with pc companion because of your unlocked bootloader. Happy flashing m8

Hey! thanks for the help on this subject.
I wonder where I can find official tft for sony z2 (314). I'm in exact same position as [w]. Want to upgrade the software (stock) but I already unlockd bootloader and flashed stock kernel with recovery. Sony software says that can update the phone, but I don't want to download som strange tft. Want the oficial tft image or some goo source.
Thanks again
hope you have a nice day

I'm also kinda paranoid so I just created my own FTF from official Sony update via Sony PC Companion using these instructions.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...eria/This-is-how-to-create-an-FTF/td-p/228703
Its takes a while but felt more comfortable than just some random dl.
here is the .314 i created.

So i'm a little paranoid, can you explain like i'm 5?
attached is a screenshot of the flashtool interface
What do i want to check and what do i want to leve unchecked?
do you mean that all the check boxes under WIPE should be empty
and the only checkbox under EXCLUDE that should be checked is SYSTEM?
thanks

sweet. upgraded and rooted using "Easy Root Tool" (was super easy!) :good:
for others discovering this post i've attached a screenshot of what my flashmode tool looked like:
basically under WIPE make sure DATA is unchecked. you will notice that userdata.sin disappears from content list
under exclude make sure nothing is checked.
win.
@[w] Hey m8, glad to see everything went ok Now you are all set to go and mod to your heart's content:highfive: Thanks for posting the screen shot and explanation as a reference for noobs/Sh*tsung refugees to see how the Flashtool screen should look during upgrading. Once again thanks for that:victory:

You will have to download the Sony Flash Tool and update. PC Companion does not allow update for unlocked bootloader.

Yes, you can use that Flashtool too. But you'll need to find the FTF file to flash.
You can flash even though you're on custom kernel. But you'll have to reflash the custom kernel after the update.

No, it will not automatically find the firmware for your region. You will have to find it yourself, either from XDA or the function within Flashtool (Devices > Check Update). Using the Sony Flash Tool is easier.

Hi, are you sure that you are on Marshmallow firmware? If you are on Nougat you followed the wrong guide. Guides for XA and Ultra are different so use the one for your device.

That's not an error, it's the output when booting the modded recovery in fastboot, and it's ok. After that you should see the ! symbol in watch and the installer should start copying the files to the watch
What do you get in the installer?

I can confirm the firmware works. Had the same problem and after ROM flash everything works.
I had unlocked my watch first with one in all tool. Maybe that can help you to flash the ROM.

It's not tested yet. I recommend you waiting to have a firmware dump of the Chinese version just in case, or if you are really interested and you own the Chinese model, help providing the firmware dump I can provide a Windows tool to do that.

I posted the link few post above.
But as I said before, just in case something goes wrong, those with a Chinese model may collaborate to get a dump of the Chinese firmware from their whatc just in case they have to go back to stock/original firmware.
This is just a precaution, because if for some reason the US firmware doesn't work in the Chinese model, nowadays there is no way to restore the watch, that's why I'm asking for the Chinese firmware dump help.
I think jazyen27 thought , how to read dump from watch.........
I can provide a Windows tool to do that.
