The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is an Android smartphone produced by Sony. The Z1 Compact has a 4.3 inch display and is released as a cheaper and smaller version of the Xperia Z1 which features a 5-inch display.
The Japanese version of the Z1 Compact, dubbed the Sony Xperia Z1 f (SO-02F), was unveiled on 10 October 2013 and was released on 19 December 2013 exclusively for NTT DoCoMo. The international Z1 Compact was subsequently unveiled during a press conference at CES 2014 in Las Vegas on 6 January 2014 and was first released in Sweden on 24 January 2014; entering more markets in February and March 2014.
Like its larger sibling, the Z1 Compact is waterproof and dust proof, and has an IP rating of IP55 and IP58. The key highlight of the Z1 Compact is its 20.7 megapixel Exmor RS camera, paired with Sony's in-house G lens and its image processing algorithm, called BIONZ. The phone also comes with a dedicated shutter button and has an aluminum uni body design, with a glass front and plastic rear. The product white paper for this device was updated in mid-February 2014 to reflect the use of plastic on the rear panel, rather than the initially reported glass.

flashtool v0.9.18.4 also won't do, I went for Pre rooted ROM instead
Dumb question - none of these are prerooted, correct?
Yes no root because it is ftf.

Small note: this version is the most generic of them all. I updated mine using EMMA today , and it moved me from Vodafone Australia right to this one.

I got a 1270-7280 Z on loan from a Sony device loaner program, AFAIK just available in Canada & US. It goes through some intermediate company though.
So seems a good bet to be pretty generic.
Thanks for this.

Most likely. I'd exclude the baseband though. Might as well just flash this one though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452166
i think its also worth putting in the OP that you need both files
Please fix for the signal wifi....

I can confirm that this works on Sony Xperia Z (C6606). I flashed from the latest T-Mobile 4.1.X (i forgot) to Greece 4.2.2. Still maintains 100% functionality. 4G LTE is still available. This would be the recommended FTF for all those T-Mobile Xperia Zs with locked bootloaders. In FlashTool though, I checked exclude Baseband.
This firmware does come with a lot of bloatware though, including Mcafee, wisepilot, neoreader, and several others.
This was done with flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe
When phone booted up it actually gave me a selection of either USA or Tmobile and I chose tmobile and it downloaded the settings for SMS/MMS. everything is working flawlessly, thank you for the post.

Hi,
It's only official stock rom from Sony 10.4.1.B.0.101. I had to flash a XZ 6603 with official update from Sony with official Sony tool (Sony PC companion) and got with this update all needed files from Sony. So it's the official stock version that I got from Sony with all included tools.
But it's a generic (unbranded) version without any additional bloatware from any Swiss provider like Swisscom, Orange, etc.
It's only stock generic from Sony, not rooted, nothing modified.

Strangely, XperiaFirm lists this update for Xperia Z2 Tablet SGP512 Japanese VMo version:
Code:
Device: Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP512)

Market: Japan
Operator: VMo JP
Network: JAPAN-WIFI32G
Release: 23.0.1.A.4.30 / R3B

I'm currently downloading it but a bit afraid to try on my Z2 Tablet as even PC Companion does not notify this update...
Someone can confirm if it works?
OK, just to close this: it works!
So this 23.0.1.A.4.30 firmware (exact same as Z3) is heading to Z2 Tablet at least...

Hey guys! Please help solve the problem. When I reinstall the firmware, after powering on there is no picture, but the sound and press responds. It's like the screen is lit but no color. I am using Flashtool 0.9.34.0 and even tried Flashtool Version 0.9.10.2beta6. I feel like it might be a problem with the Bootloader but it's unlocked. Please tell me if anyone has a solution.
