[FTF] [Xperia Z] Stock German 10.1.A.1.434 unbranded

Hi guys,
because I have so much trouble with rooting, I created a FTF file with flashtool so I can flash back to stock faster.
And if someone needs the file, here is the download for you:
Google Drive Download
It`s working fine, because I tried it many times to get back from a failed rooting attempt!
It`s the German unbranded Version of the new 10.1.A.1.434
Just flash with flashtool.
Have fun!

When flashing with flashtool from 350, do I need to wipe data and cache, or just appslog?

It think this is not needed, because it`s only a update.
If you update via pc companion it will also don`t wipe data.

Mind posting steps on how to flash .ftf?
I have to send mine in for repairs.

Before you start flashing anything make sure you have a fully charged phone
1 Download and install flashtool from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
2.Make sure all drivers are installed for the XZ (you can also use flashtool to install drivers as shown in the pictures below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3 Once you have installed Flashtool you need to place the ftf (ROM) in the "firmware" folder as you can see in the picture
4 Then start up Flashtool and make sure it's in "Flashmode" (see picture) and click "OK"
5 Now you should get this screen (see picture below)
6 After you have unticked the "DATA" and "CACHE" (or left it the way it is) you will see this screen (see picture below)
Once finish flashing unplug the USB cable and turn on your XZ
I hope that helps.

AW: [FTF] [Xperia Z] Stock German 10.1.A.1.434 unbranded
And be sure to use the latest version of flashtool that was build for Xperia Z!

Still on .518 with unlocked phone. No OTA updates so far.
Did anyone try this update; if so, is the camera just as crappy as before?

Its same in Switzerland for my unbranded one. Update done.
I think camera is now littlebit better. Not so "noisy". Still like a cam with a small lens, but better as .518. but i had to test more.

How to: Android Lollipop for Sony Z3 Compact SO-02G

Hello, comrades!
I'm newbie in writing threads, so no rage please, just nice explanation why am I wrong. Thank you
Recently I've changed my phone to Sony Z3 Compact, which I bought on eBay and I didn't realise that my phone model was SO-02G, which means that there is different firmware and firmware developer for it. Since I used Android 5.0 for about a month on my Sony Z1, I knew that I need 5.0 on my new phone as well, but there is no such a firmware yet for my phone. Quick google search and google translate helped me in obtaining 5.0 for SO-02G. I hope my thread wil help someone and if there are any japanese speakers, that are ready to contribute to my adoptation of Google Translated text - fell free to correct me. Arigato :fingers-crossed:

Be ready to lose NFC support after this.
In order to obtain Android 5.0 and above for your SO-02G you should have:
Flashtool with all drivers ready to go
Sony Docomo Z3c itself
Sony D5803 (Z3 Compact) Nordic Customized Android Firmware that you want (5.0 and above)
USB cable (Yes, I should mention this )
15-20 minutes of your time
The guide itself:
First of all, you need to do backup of your data, because otherwise you will get an error or non-working phone. Do you want so? I doubt it.
Then you should proceed with usual flashing steps, beggining with launching Flashtool, connecting your smartphone and clicking flash button.
Select Flashmode

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then flash it.
After a little while your phone will start with new Android Lollipop, but after about a minute of "upgrading NFC firware" it will return an error saying that NFC is no longer avaliable and if you need to get NFC support back - you should flash Docomo firmware back and everything is going to be allright.
All firwares are avaliable at xda forum.
This topic brought to you by Neckronus adapted translation of 8wired.jp guide and if you can help to translate some more details, please do, I will greatly appreciate it. ​
**UPDATE 12.11.2016:
YOU MIGHT GET NFC SUPPORT AFTER FLASHING ANDROID 5 YET THE CHANCE IS TOTALLY RANDOM AND THERE IS NO EXPLANATION ON HOW IT WORKS

Hi nice guide friend
I have the same issue with my z3 it's a sol26 Japanese version with 32g of storage I also flashed a global version rom but that turned my storage to an only 16g then I downloaded the sol26 original rom still didn't flash it but its locked carrier and I am afraid of being locked
Any ideas bro?
Thanks

Just exclude "PARTITION"...
In case you flashed mistakenly, flash original device's FTF with including it.

@AndroPlus
Thank you for your reply...just one thing I wanted to ask the phone is unlocked for any operator yet I only found a carrier rom so if I flashed it would it lock the phone?

Customized DE to RU. Same FW version.

Guys, I installed on my device Android 6.0 Customized DE. I regretted and I would like to install the RU version to have less bloatware and appear 4G instead LTE. Can I flash the same version just by changing the region without deleting anything (dirty wipe)? Some problem?

Give it a try. Just don't wipe userdata. Should be fine.

Really? No problem?

Yes. It's the same firmware apart from the customization files.

great , but the 4G icon is not impotant for me , moreover operators in my country has no 4G plans only 3G. I am looking for a clean and smooth firm with few bloatware.
I heard that the RU is good because it has less bloat ware , my SFR FR stock one had a lot of bloat ware ... I wonder also what does the "Customized" in firmeware name mean .. cauz not all firms have it

Customized are the unbranded firmwares,each region has customized(sim unlocked,and bootloader can be unlocked) or branded firmware.

Aug security patch

Hi,
I own stock Italian Vodafone's h850, ordered from amazon and first-registered in Finland, using local carrier. Have the vodafones own Updates app, but it wont even open etc.
Today I received v10i (v10i-222-10 to be search friendly) via OTA. Got the same Value Pack message (what is that?), and septembers security patch. (2016-09-01)
I'm also asking that are you other VDI G5 users receiving these same time, or does it matter that I am not in Italy? Asking because can't find any info about this update.
