SCREENSHOTS:

This FTF CAN be flashed to unlocked phones too.
I tested it by my self.
FTF -> Flashtool - locked and unlocked bootloaders
IMG -> Fastboot - only unlocked bootloaders

What's the command for that? fastboot flash rom.img?

The difference is:
LT15 xperia arc
LT18 xperia arc S
Yes LT18 firmware also works on LT15
I think the better is the one designed for your model

Any difference from the Generic Germany one that makes flashing this one worth, there isn't one, is it?

Thanks for your sharing!! Finally have someone release a generic world .42 firmware with a root method beside having to downgrade to 2.3.3. I flashed it last night and the batter life seem much better than the generic HK 368 firmware I used. May be my lt15a just don't like the HK firmware and baseband because I had poor battery life for that firmware but it was not happened to 2.3.3 generic world I used before the update. Now the the battery life go back to the excellent condition it was when I used generic world firmware for 2.3.3. I am not sure if it is just my phone or it is the generic hk rom.

[STOCK][C6903] 14.3.A.0.757 SingTel [LB, Root & XZDR] *No Longer Updated*

Update - No Longer Updated
Pre-rooted ROM has no value now since XZDR 2.7.129 (or newer) installer can achieve root (via towelroot) and install recovery on any stock ROM now... until the towelroot exploit is closed. So until then, use the following easier and faster method to gain root (and recovery) on your Z1.
Update via PCC/Bridge or Flash FTF using Flashtool
Download flashable SuperSU from here and save to phone/sdcard
Use XZDR 2.7.129 (or newer) installer to install recovery via option 3. When done, phone will reboot to recovery
Flash the SuperSU flashable zip from earlier
If Xposed is installed previously, just open the Xposed installer to repatch
Enjoy!
Original description:
This is a stock carrier branded ROM created using NUT's wonderful DIY guide. I just wanted to keep my existing stock ROM but with root and with bootloader locked. This is just to share the result after taking the knowledge from XDA
Disclaimer: This process may cause you to lose your data or even brick your phone or cause you extreme distress. I will not be responsible for any misfortune, accident or loss that might occur due to going through this process. Do not proceed if you are not comfortable.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.16.1 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.129 BETA or newer
Technically this is exactly the same is NUT's pre-rooted ROM, only difference is the ROM base. So the instructions are basically the same.
Features:
SuperSU 2.00
XZDualRecovery 2.7.129 BETA
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders! (although instructions are for locked bootloaders)
How to update to this ROM:
If you are already rooted with a recovery, jump 2 points ahead to download the Flashable ZIP and Stripped FTF
Download C6903 14.1.G.1.534 SingTel 1276-7941_R6A or any C6903 14.1.G.1.534 FTF from the Mega FTF thread
Install XZDR (and root at the same time while keep bootloader locked) on your C6903: XZDualRecovery 2.7.129 BETA Installer (or newer)
Start from this point if you are already rooted with a recovery
Download Flashable ZIP and Stripped FTF from post #2
Put your Flashable ZIP on (the external) SDcard1;
Put your Stripped FTF inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
IMPORTANT - Backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!)
IMPORTANT - Create a backup of your phone in TWRP/CWM (if you are rooted)
WIPE all data/cache/etc (this will ensure you have no extra issues)
Flash Flashable ZIP in TWRP/CWM;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, (make sure your cable is unplugged) then go to reboot->power off;
Plug in your USB cable while holding down the Volume Down button;
Flash everything in Stripped FTF using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
Known XZDualRecovery Issues: (copying from NUT's thread)
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.

You can use the deodex package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690160
This was recommended on [NUT] original thread so it should work the same here.
For my own info, did you flash SingTel or Generic SG?

other country hav restriction on hotspot tethering, so it might not work well, as NUT use FTF from middle east, instead of from our nearby region.

That is stock, not pre-rooted. Use the easy rooting v7 to root. I read somewhere that it works.

You can use nut"s dualrecovery to root and install recovery at the same time. Nut"s dualrecovery come with latest easyrootool with geohot "s towellroot. Cheers

It works for C6902?

Sorry for this question. I'm a little confused. So all I have to do is to flash the dual recovery and I'm done? So I just have to follow the instructions on OP?
Edit: I did a little research and found the easy root tool page and I tried it. It works.

Could you please tell how did you make it? I have SGP511 with currently installed stock 17.1.A.2.36 but no matter what I try with PC Companion it downloads me 17.1.1.A.0.402 files even in repair mode

I downloaded the firmware before the .402 was available for me. That's all.

Lucky you. I've bought Z2 couple of days ago, so .402 was already rolled out on the Sony servers.
Well.., will look for alternative approaches how to dump my stock .36 version.

The reason why is because the update hasn't been rolled out in your country yet. When a update is don't it takes a couple of weeks or even months to be worldwide

The drivers are within the flash tool zip, extract the package and inside you will find a drivers subfolder

I flashed to this .ftf from 23.0.1.A.4.30 and my device will not turn on. Nor will it give vibration feedback when attempting to turn on. I tried volume down/power button. I tried the little red button next to sim card slot. Not sure what to do at this point...
I guess it decided to turn on... nevermind

Hello, does anyone have a link to the ftf for SGP512 (UK region). My tablet is running 4.4.4 and I want to downgrade to 4.4.2 so I can root
EDIT, does not matter, just used the Nordic firmware to downgrade, rooted, then upgraded with modified UK firmware that was pre-rooted

Website for Japanese Xperia's FTF

I created a Website to gather FTF for Japanese version Xperia since Japanese models generally doesn't have xda thread or other websites to share FTF.
http://ftf.xn--l8je9byecb9a3syb.xn--q9jyb4c/
At the moment there are only few models and versions since I couldn't find others...
If someone has FTF not listed on the Website, please post here.
I'll add it on the Website.
Devices on the Website (7/31):
Xperia acro IS11S
Xperia SX SO-05D
Xperia VL SOL21
Xperia Z SO-02E
Xperia UL SOL22
Xperia Tablet Z SO-03E
Xperia A SO-04E
Xperia Z1 SO-01F
Xperia Z1 SOL23
Xperia Z Ultra SOL24
Xperia Z1 f SO-02F
Xperia Z2 SO-03F
Xperia A2 SO-04F
Xperia ZL2 SOL25

thank you so much ! this is helpful site

Incredibly appreciated! Hopefully some of the international exploits will be found to be effective on these firmwares as well. Following the 2ch threads on root, and it seems like the biggest breakthrough has still been the restoration of DRM functions after unlock, but no actual root with a locked bootloader yet.
If we could just get that TA partition backup we'd be in the clear to flash...

That's a very neat site! 　ありがとう！

thank you so much ! for sol25 zl2

If you want the system apps you can flash only the system portion of the ftf file. If you want the kernel, you'll brick your phone.

You can flash Lollipop firmware for D5503 on your device. I also have a Japanese phone that is running a US Lollipop ROM (.236).

Cool I flashed my Xperia SX with newer firmware downloaded from your pages and now my phone is docomo-locked. What can I do?

Why you put the firmware on google drive? Do you know hard for me to download it? I lose 5gb mobile data, suck google no pause resume for that and always failed if download reach 2-2,5gb so sad.

There are not Small files and I went to bed last night. Updated the OP with some more firmwares

Just flashed global generic 93. Checked PC Companion for update and it states it doesn't have firmware for this device yet. As an FYI, this firmware has the stock android browser, I despise Chrome.

will there be any support for the Z3 Dual Sim D6633 version?

thanks alot!
got my branded Z3 and instantly flashed the generic. Thanks alot for making this available that quick.

Hey, just picked up my Z3 its got all this O2 branded crap on it, and the boot animation is O2 also, I hate it. Do I need to root the phone or anything like that before I flash the UK generic one? Cheers!

D6633_23.0.F.1.74_1288-7362_R8B_RU.ftf

Can I ask here?
Because I can't wait for the ftf of D6633, I found out that it can be downloaded using XperiFirm Downloader,my question is,the firmware has 4 files which I assume it's not flashable in FLASHTOOL,how can I flash those files?
Thanks in Advance.
EDIT: Desperanto86 just posted the file, Its not posted yet when I was typing..

I'm going to grab the Vodafone UK branded FTF for you later today.
