I want to make a backup from my original rom. So I downloaded flashtool (the newest) and took the 2 biggest files from the blob folder. I started to decrypting them and everything went ok. However when I want to bundle the files and press ok, the Xperia PLAY isn't listed. The X8 and X10 etc are.
Now I saw in the Arc forum that they put the LT15.sin in the loader map so the Arc shows up in the list. Now is my question which .sin file I need for the Xperia PLAY (R800i). Couldn't find anywhere a R800i.sin file on the web. If I dont need this file please explain me what then to do....
Cheers
Hello!
I just downloaded this latest firmware using the Sony PC Companion, decrypted and used Flashtool beta to repackage it to FTF. Tried it on my own Sony Xperia Z and everything works great!
Please use the Tutorial on how to flash the Stock FTF ROM using Flashtool
Download the two files from Dev-Host and use WinRAR to join them together. Just unzip both files in the same folder and let WinRAR do its thing.
File #1: http://d-h.st/F2n (WinRAR Archive 237 MB)
File #2: http://d-h.st/Ebf (WinRAR Archive 512 MB)
Some things to note;
- You do not have to be rooted to flash this with Flashtool
- You can flash this with either a locked or unlocked bootloader
- Your Xperia Z's bootloader stays unlocked thus keeping the Bravia Engine
- Customization code for this firmware is 1271-0119_R5B
Hope this helps out people who are looking for the Generic US ROM to flash on their Xperia Z.
I would appreciate a Thanks if this post was useful to you.
Enjoy!
Cannot unzip file... please update on how to unzip? keep on getting error..

TOO small ! isn't it????
@HoOnZ: only 236.66 MB? You must have done something wrong. Please download the latest version of Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/. Flashtool beta is now deprecated. Follow this guide to create the FTF: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool
@salmankhawar and @x102x96x: remove the full quote from your post. This is ridiculous.

Big oops! I apologize for not putting the second file. I fell asleep just after I posted this last night.
Unzip both files to the same folder and use WinRAR to join them together and make the FTF file.
Thanks!

He said FTF, so no, it's not a flashable ZIP... Stock firmware comes in FTF files, custom ROMs in flashable ZIP. Just flash the FTF with Flashtool.

7-Zip does not support spanned ZIP files (.zip, .z01, .z02, ...), but WinRAR should work fine. Perhaps you have a corrupted download? Check if the file sizes (in bytes) and/or MD5 sums match:

Yes, I checked them last night. I even tried it here on my work computer and everything went through. Make sure both the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.zip and the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01 files are on the same folder. Have WinRAR open the Zip file and extract! WinRAR should be able to know what to do. Try it out again!

I download "Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01" via IDM when it start to download .z01 file change format to .zip
i don't it s converting or just find compatible software and show
problem is here >
when i try to extract smaller part it asks for .z01 part and winRAR cannot find another file !!!
and when i select that converted (.zip of bigger file) > Error; file corrupted !
maybe i should uninstall WinRAR and all app that support .zip and ... and then download it

IDM does not convert anything, it just changes the filename extension to .zip because it recognizes a ZIP file. To extract this archive successfully, the filename extensions may not be changed, so disable IDM or change it back to .z01 after downloading.

Just installed it, and i dont notice anything changed. Any chance for a changelog ? Battery impact, performance, etc thanks
Error in your zip
@Zotmen
There is a big mistake inside your flashable Zip
What is your mistake ?
open your zip go into system/vendor folder
you put all files here, that is your mistake these files should not be here.
make a new folder named lib inside the vendor folder, this is the place where you need to copy all drivers files and folder
it should look like this system/vendor/lib/ and you files....
i updated your zip and attached below, please update your link also..........
Will this do any improvement?

Proceed with caution - nand backup first.
Boots boot.img but it wont get past that into system. Sony logo>>bootloop

Official Sony Z3 Compact Concept marshmallow 6.0 edition build 2099 ftf file
Fix file link

http://www.mediafire.com/download/qtk1z6t8cks3q9o/6.0_concept_Z3compact_2099_fix.ftf
Thanks @Jozinek for first release
Is this for the Compact?
Edit: I've just seen the file name
doesn't show under Flashtool
Seems to have been packaged or compressed incorrectly. I have extracted the FTF, which appears to be an ordinary zip, and am making a bundle with the files from the zip with FlashTool, which I'll then try to flash on top of 2085...

file 6.0_concept_Z3compact_2099.ftf
6.0_concept_Z3compact_2099.ftf: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
right you are
missing meta-inf/manifest.mf file that's why flashtool won't recognize as ftf
Thanks, i can make a zip flashable prerooted whit prf creator?
I'm repackaging same as @LadFromWales85. Let's see how it goes
Yes i upload wrong file sorry
Open ftf files with 7zip file manager
Open attached meta-inf.zip, extraxt meta-inf folder and copy to ftf files on 7zip.
Flashed now, without your META-INF, though I need to factory reset as I haven't done it since Lollipop and Google Play Services randomly force closes, as does Album.
I really don't want to though, as without USB mass storage access to the internal memory I can't correct the file modify time for pictures and they get sorted wrong in galleries. That and I'll have a Z5p soon so don't want to invest too much time fiddling with this!

Ok ?
Can I install this ftf in a Z3 Compact with a locked bootlader?
Thanks!
yes you can.
i put the ftf file in the firmwear folder but the flash program wont recognize it
nvm i figured it out
Any available mirror op? just download the file via mega and it got stuck on 99%
After adding the missing Meta-File everything worked like a charm THANK You.
Fix file uploading mega and mirror, when done i will add first post.
how to add the meta-file. I opened in 7zip the ftf file and extracted the meta.zip file but i don't get any option to paste file inside the opened 7zip program
Still waiting for the Ota to arrive. Don't understand why it takes so long...
pls help me out guys
I downloaded a MM 6.0.1 ce1 region firmware from easy-firmware website but when Im trying to flash it flashtool gives a msg that those files are not in fsc script so they will be skipped! and it lists all the available files in ftf firmware!!
so when I accept it, it skips everything!
I checked in the ftf file and there is a default.fsc file in it, what is it?!
------
also when i try to creat ftf with flashtool it asks me to include fsc or not
what should I choose?!
im getting very confused here guys! help me out pls
---
Edit: Problem Solved! Afters searching a little more I found out that FSC script is a script required for 2015 and later phones that contrains flashing steps to be near or equal to sony's xperia companion
also after many try and fails, I realized that the default.fsc script in my 6.0.1 ftf firmware was somehow corrupted so I had to do this steps:
-extracting the .ftf file with 7zip
-deleting .fsc file from it
-selecting all other files and compressing again with 7zip with a name that ends with .ftf not .zip(not sure about this step being important but I did it anyway)
this was the only way flashtool would recognize my ftf file after modifying and the I flashed it and chose to use flashtools own fsc script and it worked out!
