Hello,
I am trying to create a ftf too. Have you included these files in the bundle when creating the ftf with flashtool?
1. loader.sin (in a tutorial I read dont include this)
2. simlock.ta (many says dont include this too)
Your help will be much appreciated.
Hi my friend.. i included all files except loader.sin
When I tried without loader.sin it gave boot loops :/

Hi all, been using it for three days. Completely clean flashing, updated my NFC. As for now, the most obvious change is in the smoothness of the UI, nice and notable change, maybe battery is being treated a little nicer too. All seem good and as it should be, thanx for a useful upload Minotavrs! Waiting for the new one!

THANK YOU!!!
I guess you need unlocked bootloader to flashe the rooted system.img?
on http://u.115.com/file/bhzudmfd
If you see this text, below blue sign with 115 on it:
优蛋专用下载链接 then the below are links right next to it.
联通下载 - Unicom download 电信下载 - Telecom Download
or whatever but, these are the links for those like me who can't make much out of chinese text.
flashing went perfect, in this HK version there is also Asfalt 5 HD included, nice!

Been using this for a little over 12 hours and despite the new enhancements and slightly faster running speed, I've had nothing but problems with:
- Touchscreen response is all over the place
- Had to uninstall Swype as touchscreen was making things up as it went
- Connectivity with wifi is patchy, connectivity with mobile data is questionable at best
- Sync issues related to connectivity
- Battery drain is significantly higher.
Is this an official Neo FW or something that's been compiled from the Arc release? If so, might be best to wait until the Neo FW is released properly. The update works beautifully on the Arc, but on the Neo (I have both handsets) I'm flashing back to rooted 2.3.2 and applying 2.3.3 OTA to await the new OTA build.
I recommend flashing via Wotanclient. Then unlock bootloader.
Thanks to Bi4ary, rooting newest Xperia firmware(4.0.A...) is very simple and safe.
First you need RootXperia.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639 Put it on your SDcard.
Then fastboot recoveryNeo.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183465
In recovery install RootXperia.zip
Now if you want to relock bootloader, then get this ftf, made by Blagus from

This worked for me 100% as posted in the other thread. No issues here. Just a faster phone,
No issues whatsoever with the hk-firmware. The only thing i've noticed is that the camera sound can not be disabled (not even in third party apps), but I suppose thats only because of the rules and laws in HK that does not allow silent cameraphones. It's however easily fixed when rooted by switching the sound files in the systems media folder.
Hello,
I have a MT15a, would that work on it or is it ONLY for MT15i?
Thanks!

It means that person had a problem with their touchscreen. It is not related to the update, it was just an individual error.
You can update without any problems using PC Companion or Sony Ericsson Update Service (recommended).

Possible to elaborate more on merging files?
I need help on merging the files as well.
Any idea how to do it on Mac OSX?
update:
I've figured out how to merge the files in Mac OSX with terminal.
After flashing the rom, I'm still on 4.1.2?
why 4.1.2???? i already flash it..
the same problem: 4.1.2 after flashing
flashtool 0.9.11.0
flashing process was completed without any errors
but... 4.1.2 and even not HK - just my previous build and localization

Same here.
The first time i flash from the last global fw and got stuck in a boot loop.
I used update service to reset my phone. It reverted back to the last fw that was released in the uk. So this was a couple of firmwares backwards.
I then tried to flash this ftf again. After the process my phone is factory reset but with the uk firmware that was released a good few weeks ago.
That's very awkward.
@feizylong: Did you use all (five) FILE_********* files from Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service?
Did you include everything except simlock.ta?
Same here. Flashed and still on 4.1.2. :crying:
after comparing this firmware with ES one, i found that here are TWO "elabel" files!
but deleting of "elabel-c6603-row_201302281243_10.1.1.A.1.253.sin" from the .FTF (and leaving "elabel-c6603-row_201302281243_10.3.A.0.423.sin") didn't help at all
bye-bye, buggy HK

Nope. As written above I used PCC to download the firmware in repair mode. As it was already up and running on my phone I didn't feel like installing again. But so far quite a few people have at least downloaded the files, maybe they can confirm usability.

I tried to flash them on my unlocked Sony Z1C because someone told me to do so first, then getting root and then getting back the DRM keys with TA Backup.

No no, I'm flashing everything back to stock so Sony doesn't complain about me "corrupting the phone with software", companies are getting quite '*****y' with such things. Had that one with my Asus Tablet already...
Anyways, I'll now verify the downloads ^^
I don't think you need to flash stock firmware when your BL is unlocked, they'll get *****y anyway. I am pretty sure Sony knows about the unlocked BL already...

No no, I can relock my bootloader, no problem, that's what the TA Backup is here for. They know my IMEI tho because I had to unlock it on their site but who doesn't lie when it comes to such things Simply saying "My brother tried to root my phone without me knowing it but I was able to stop him before he flashed another ROM", just in a noobish and 'consumer-like' way hehehe Read that this worked for nearly everyone who sent their device in for warranty.

Thank you for this. I managed to get a Chinese 402 fimware downloaded, created an ftf out of it and flashed it successfully. Would be more helpful if this wasn't a Chinese build but its a start.
Edit: I chose 402 as its the latest firmware that is supported by doomlord root and recovery. The endpoint is to be back on CM11/12. Having a tough time as im not able to boot to recovery from the Chinese build. Also seems that there is a possible hardware issue as I am having intermittant connectivity issues with the tablet. It seems to come in and out of flash mode on its own in the flashtool. I am trying to flash a different firmware but it wont stay in flash mode long enough for the firmware flash to complete successfully. Pretty frustrating. I noticed this usb issue while using chargers over the last month or so too. Tablet would show that it was charging for a second then not charging intermittently. I thought it could be rom related which inspired the want to ftf back to stock but i think that there is something physically wrong with this tab now. Shame as its only six months old and was barely used.

wooo bad luck buddy, you should take it back to sony while you still got the chance (under warranty). If you have saved the DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader, you should relock it and flash a stock ftf (Canadian version). i dont know why the OP link doesnt work. but i had just checked my box account and the files are still there the .402 one
SGP511 Wifi Generic CA .402: https://app.box.com/s/o3webtra06yvet2zuva47vka3h981s4l
if the link does not work you either have to create a Box account or give me your email. i dont know why Box is like this.

Thanks for the support
I tried again with the box link and it says: "the item you are trying to access has been deleted or is unavailable to you" Ill PM you my address.
Hello all,

Hi, I assume someone much smarter than me will be able to point me to a Sony Xperia standard/stock ROM which I can flash with TWRP.
I had loaded TWRP and manages to accidentally wipe out the system with no backup (it's a new phone anyway). I found some ROMS from European telcos, etc. but would like to install the "standard" Sony Xperia ROM for XC.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
PS. I think it would be easiest for me to able to install it through TWRP.... but obviously, anyway to recover my phone would be great.
PPS. Still can access device with adb and Flashtool, but not from Fastboot or Sony PC Companion.
PPS. I have installed OmniROM in the meantime... but don't want to spend too much time on it if I am going to wipe it out anyway.
PPS. I am in the US.
Update:
I found XperiaFirmware. It's downloading F5321_34.1.A.3.49_CE.ftf. Per the download website, will take about 18 hours on average, but it is progressing better than that.
I also found XperiFirm tool which downloads much faster, but I don't know which version. My understanding is that US customized is for CDA version of the phone. I also ran across the post about enabling the fingerprint reader by downloading the UK customized version... But based on latest attempts to do this, since UK version has been upgraded to Nougat, this approach is not working anymore...? But anyway, I could give it a shot to try a European version which is still on MM,
Update: *Whew*
I used XperiFirm to select a ROM. I didn't know which ROM, but I was intrigued to enable the fingerprint scanner. Due to some recent posts that the original method of using the Customized UK (or as they would say "Customised UK") version no longer works as the posted firmware was for Nougat. As a workaround, some people downloaded CE version, but CE version has also been recently updated to Nougat. I noticed a CE5 version which still seemed to be the MM version.
However, I also wasn't sure what differences I may see in the European version as some posters were complaining about some cosmetic differences, so I downloaded Customized US even though I thought I read somewhere it was for CDMA network. I also decided to download one called "Commercial and Journalists" which was the same MM version.
I decided to install it first as I was anxious about trying to get my phone back. I was able to load OmniROM but since there were some known issues, my preference was to use authentic Sony firmware. In addition, I took some low light pictures with the OmniROM version, and they turned out really bad. Not sure if it was the ROM or what, but it was very disappointing. Also, I couldn't get root access to it. Also, even though OmniROM seemed to support the fingerprint scanner, I couldn't get it to register my fingerprint well.
I downloaded the Commercial and Journalists version from XperiFirm, let it unpack it, and then used FlashTool to create the bundle, not including fwinfo.xml or the .ta files.
It started up Android ok, but I noticed I seemed to have lost my TWRP. Anyway, while starting up Android, guess what? The fingerprint enabled software was there... and it works like a champ!
Since I seemed to have lost TWRP, I started from instructions again from http://www.stupdroid.com/2016/10/root-sony-xperia-x-compact.html and was able to get it back.
Then, I tried to get root, but following the instructions, I got the error ""There is no su binary installed" when opening SuperSU.
I then flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
And now I have root access!
Whew! I don't know what damage I've done overall... and since I don't have a nano SIM card yet, the worst case scenario is that what I have now doesn't work as a phone (but I doubt it). After what I went through (accidentally deleting the system from my Android phone), I now have a rooted Xperia X Compact with the fingerprint sensor enabled. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good?
And, when I took some low light pics, they turned out better!
