This is a non-standard way of spitting ZIP files, created by 7-Zip. You'll have to use HJSplit to join them or use 7-Zip to extract them. You could also use this command in Windows Command Prompt to join them:
Code:
copy /b C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded_India_FTF.zip.001 + C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded_India_FTF.zip.002 C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded_India_FTF.zip

I believe you can, but you will lose LTE functionality since C6602 has not LTE.
I flashed...system gave an fc as soon as it starts!
I thought it wouldnt..but gave it a try anyways!

There are many generic firmwares available for the C6603 (LTE version). You can just take a glance in the General forum. Any of those firmwares would work fine on your LTE version. There is no compulsion to download an Indian firmware as such. The only thing different might be some of the bundled software and the additional language depending on the region.

yep, it took ages, but the UK is finally caught up with the rest of the world.
NOT encountering any issues so far with .244!
. 244 is a huge improvement, speed wise over 434. I had seriously bad slow downs on that, apps would take seconds to switch and open, gone immediately with this build. I updated via PC Companion and rooted with the 434 kernel.
It would be nice to see these FTFs released with separate kernels we can flash back to after rooting.
EDIT: The main reason I suggest it is for people who don't download the FTFs (due to slow speeds etc) but update via Sony, and just need the kernel to flash back after rootong. If you had the FTF you could just exclude everything else anyway so it's a non issue.

Everyone wouldn't have to create a 'kernel only' FTF if you uploaded it and shared it here after you created it, just like everyone hasn't got to create this complete FTF.
In any case, all of the 244 releases use the same kernel, so the FTFs released by DooMLoRD in his rooting thread are all that's needed for now.
In the case of future updates, if I create and upload an FTF, I will most probably include a kernel FTF in the post for rooting purposes.

What do you mean? It's a C6603 rom, therefore has LTE support.

Ah, the LTE option should always show up then. I was unsure on that.
In any case, 3 UK don't have LTE yet, do they?
If you want the option to show up that badly, then try flashing again with no wipe first. After that, if it doesn't solve the issue, your only option is a wipe.
Perhaps something got messed up if you flashed over a custom rom with no wipe.

is it worth an upgrade from .67?
Dear shoey63,
Plz convert the baseband ftf to zip.
Thanks!
Probably just the baseband, as it is the only real difference - apart from having latest build number File for that is in OP.
If on .244 or below, I would flash the whole FTF.

You need to use Flashtool to flash basebands. Besides, I don't think it's useful to flash this alternate baseband version unless you're using 3 AT, 3 DK, 3 SE, Orange FR or T-Mobile NL network.

Any new baseband is a good one as far as I am concerned. It may be aimed at "3" customers, but there could be benefits to others as well.

It's not because the build number is a little higher, that it's necessarily better. They may first have created a generic baseband (.67) and then tweaked it for certain networks (.74). That doesn't mean that .74 has benefits for other networks too, it might even have downsides.
My recommendation: use the baseband for the networks it was intended. There'll be a reason that Sony is releasing .67 firmware to most devices and at the same time .74 only for certain operators.

You want to just flash the 292 kernel on a 283 rom? I'm not sure what will happen, to be honest. At worst it won't boot and you'll have to flash back a 283 kernel.
