[Q] Converting My Xperia SP to Indian FTF - Xperia SP General

Hi All,
I have a Sony Xperia SP C5302.
Its a Iranian Phone. And I am living in India. I recently upgraded to 12.1.A.1.201. But this Firmware is Iranian. So, how can I change it to Indian phone, without rooting or doing something else.
Can I directly Flash C5302_12.1.A.1.201_Generic.ftf ?
Yes, than which tool I have to use ?
Do it safe ?

Yes u can surely flash the indian firmware and it can be done via flashtool.

OTA Update now available For 12.0.A.2.245

Guys the OTA update For The latest update I.e. 12.0.A.2.245 is now available in around 70mb file package.
And best part Of OTA update is that you will not loose the root access like you loose the root in the update through pc companion.
I m from india and is on. 257 update
If you have unlocked boot loader DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE.

I live in Greece and i'm still on .257... Cannot install any updates and that sucks...
i wasn't eather, not trough the pc companion at least. if you're not sim locked just download global .245 package or german one perhaps, find it in a forum, and flash it via flashtool.

hi, where i find global generic .245
Thanks
i must confess I used the German one, but pretty much any .245 would work as long as it is for your specific model, 502 or 503, and if you do not mind using english in your device. 'cause no matter what region is intended for you can chose english for the device language.
Tried OTA update but installation failed. Not sure if is due to me removing the bloatware previously

As long you have rooted your phone whether locked or unlocked bootloader, OTA fails.

Will it also debrand dutch T-mobile?
Hi Guys,
I bought today the Z1 (C6903) , but unfortunately it's the dutch T-mobile branded device.
I've checked the firmware and it's the same as you mentioned in the topic : Xperia Z1 14.1.G.1.518.
Do you think it's also possible that I can flash the UK firmware?

Dumb question, flashing this over a branded .518 will keep the DRM intact and access to the 5 free movie downloads on Xperia Privilege?:good:

Try using the touch with glove mode on. It really greatly reduces the issues.

Brazilian 4.4.3 OTA package zip

I am unsure if this should go here but I missed the thread that brings together every OTA zip in one place but here it is anyway:
XT1032 retail: http://goo.gl/a8rwk5.
XT1033 retail: http://goo.gl/cbk9FF.
Can you post few screenshots of 4.4.3
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm in doubt. I install this update or continue with the Cdroid Rom?
What is better?
Man, what i do with the zip? Flash by recovery or fastboot?
will this work on indian moto G?
@vyaskd No.
@W3ND31 Can do both, I'd recommend sideloading it on adb.
@pico hackr There is absolutely nothing different other than the dialer and contacts and the fact that 4.4.2 went up to 4.4.3. I didn't update the stock firmware myself, only captured the zips to share. Currently running AOSPA.

Thanks, tested on XT1033 from TIGO Colombia and works great!!!
First need to apply this package 171.44.31.falcon_umtsds.Brasin.en.BR and check for updates to apply new one to change version to 171.44.37.falcon_umtsds.Brasin.en.BR
In my blog I explain how to update (but in spanish)

First brush to write the end of the Brazilian 4.4.2 package! Then continue twice OTA update! Asia can be flashed Brazil Dual Card 4.4.3!
to flash this i need to use stock recovery or custom?
What I am missing?
My phone got be unrooted to make this update, isn't?
Is there a way of install this update without unroot, on a phone with TWRP?
because if I got to install stock rom to install the updates, makes no sense download this package zip, since we have OTA to update.
Sorry if this is a meaningless question. I am asking cos' I had hard time trying to install stock rom.
My friends I will like to now the Brazilian version work on 171.44.31.falcon_umtsds.latam.en.01 dual sim
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This seems purely OTA update and Not cwm zip.
So, whether this update be manually flashed from Stock recovery using "Apply update" option..?
If yes, then possibility of other XT1033 users from Non-Brazil regions be able to update..? If someone has attempted can share the experience.
In simple words, Can a Indian user manually flash this zip via Stock recovery being on Indian stock ROM XT1033..?

Im not sure but i guess if you flash via odin it will be a fresh clean install so you better backup all your data and go for it.
The process is quite simple, just download 4.4 rom from sammobile and make sure you have the drivers installed in your PC.
There is an explanation of the process in sammoblie just follow it.
GL and let us know if it worked :good:
PS: No root needed
