Hello,
Does anyone know where I would be able to get any (Customized DE) Stock ROM for the Xperia X Compact (F5321)? I found the site xperiafirmware.com but they only offer the CE Version. I also tried to download and unpack the German Version with XperiFirm. But I couldn't manage to bundle the files with Flashtool, since there was no Xperia X Compact to select from the Devices Menu. And I also didn't know which files exactly to include and which not. Also what about the files in the "boot" folder, should they be included? I also can't upgrade the Phone via the "Emma" Flash Tool from Sony either, because the phone isn't recognized by it.
So the simplest solution would be to just be able to get the Stock ROM ftf File from somewhere or someone and flash it via the Xperia (non official) Flashtool.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Simon
You have to close all windows except main flashtool after downloading. Then file will be created. Do you need nougat or marshmallow?
Since there is no operating system currently installed on the phone and the update from Marshmallow to Nougat failed. I guess Marshmallow would be the best option to recover the phone.
And even if I close all windows, I still can't select the Xperia X Compact in the Flashtool Devices Menu.
Which version do you use? Here you can download latest MM ftf.

Thanks a lot for the Link. Sorry for my late response but I was very busy lately. It all worked out well.
Best regards

Any chance someone still has this ftf? I borked my z2 tab today and was looking for the latest firmware to flash that is still rootable. Think this is it. Endpoint will be running cm11 or cm12.

Thank you for this. I managed to get a Chinese 402 fimware downloaded, created an ftf out of it and flashed it successfully. Would be more helpful if this wasn't a Chinese build but its a start.
Edit: I chose 402 as its the latest firmware that is supported by doomlord root and recovery. The endpoint is to be back on CM11/12. Having a tough time as im not able to boot to recovery from the Chinese build. Also seems that there is a possible hardware issue as I am having intermittant connectivity issues with the tablet. It seems to come in and out of flash mode on its own in the flashtool. I am trying to flash a different firmware but it wont stay in flash mode long enough for the firmware flash to complete successfully. Pretty frustrating. I noticed this usb issue while using chargers over the last month or so too. Tablet would show that it was charging for a second then not charging intermittently. I thought it could be rom related which inspired the want to ftf back to stock but i think that there is something physically wrong with this tab now. Shame as its only six months old and was barely used.

wooo bad luck buddy, you should take it back to sony while you still got the chance (under warranty). If you have saved the DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader, you should relock it and flash a stock ftf (Canadian version). i dont know why the OP link doesnt work. but i had just checked my box account and the files are still there the .402 one
SGP511 Wifi Generic CA .402: https://app.box.com/s/o3webtra06yvet2zuva47vka3h981s4l
if the link does not work you either have to create a Box account or give me your email. i dont know why Box is like this.
gl buddy :highfive:
Thanks for the support
I tried again with the box link and it says: "the item you are trying to access has been deleted or is unavailable to you" Ill PM you my address.

Hello, XDA members
I've gotten my hands on a really cheap Xperia X2 that was originally sold in China, and as a result the entire interface is in Chinese. I've managed to find a copy of a generic English ROM, but I have no idea how to flash it.
I'm familiar with the process of flashing ROMs to the older Xperia X1, but that phone was built by HTC, so I'm going to assume the method is completely different for the Sony-built X2.
The file I've downloaded is X2_1233-7729_GENERIC_EN_R3AA035_CDF1234-0918_R10A.software
I've also downloaded a cab that will change the phone's region and allow the phone to install software from a different region if connected to the Sony update service. I don't have the phone yet, so I'm not able to do much testing. But the update software available from Sony's website only supports Android-based Xperia models.
So, I have two questions:
1. Does someone know how to take that funky .software file and flash it to the phone?
or
2. Can anyone verify that if I download an old copy of the update service, it will still be able to connect to Sony and download a ROM for the phone?

I already tried via xperiafirm and didnt find a 270. FTF for none branded Euro or Unbranded UK, only has branded o2
Yeah, well, they've not been released yet!
Hi, I assume someone much smarter than me will be able to point me to a Sony Xperia standard/stock ROM which I can flash with TWRP.
I had loaded TWRP and manages to accidentally wipe out the system with no backup (it's a new phone anyway). I found some ROMS from European telcos, etc. but would like to install the "standard" Sony Xperia ROM for XC.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
PS. I think it would be easiest for me to able to install it through TWRP.... but obviously, anyway to recover my phone would be great.
PPS. Still can access device with adb and Flashtool, but not from Fastboot or Sony PC Companion.
PPS. I have installed OmniROM in the meantime... but don't want to spend too much time on it if I am going to wipe it out anyway.
PPS. I am in the US.
Update:
I found XperiaFirmware. It's downloading F5321_34.1.A.3.49_CE.ftf. Per the download website, will take about 18 hours on average, but it is progressing better than that.
I also found XperiFirm tool which downloads much faster, but I don't know which version. My understanding is that US customized is for CDA version of the phone. I also ran across the post about enabling the fingerprint reader by downloading the UK customized version... But based on latest attempts to do this, since UK version has been upgraded to Nougat, this approach is not working anymore...? But anyway, I could give it a shot to try a European version which is still on MM,
Update: *Whew*
I used XperiFirm to select a ROM. I didn't know which ROM, but I was intrigued to enable the fingerprint scanner. Due to some recent posts that the original method of using the Customized UK (or as they would say "Customised UK") version no longer works as the posted firmware was for Nougat. As a workaround, some people downloaded CE version, but CE version has also been recently updated to Nougat. I noticed a CE5 version which still seemed to be the MM version.
However, I also wasn't sure what differences I may see in the European version as some posters were complaining about some cosmetic differences, so I downloaded Customized US even though I thought I read somewhere it was for CDMA network. I also decided to download one called "Commercial and Journalists" which was the same MM version.
I decided to install it first as I was anxious about trying to get my phone back. I was able to load OmniROM but since there were some known issues, my preference was to use authentic Sony firmware. In addition, I took some low light pictures with the OmniROM version, and they turned out really bad. Not sure if it was the ROM or what, but it was very disappointing. Also, I couldn't get root access to it. Also, even though OmniROM seemed to support the fingerprint scanner, I couldn't get it to register my fingerprint well.
I downloaded the Commercial and Journalists version from XperiFirm, let it unpack it, and then used FlashTool to create the bundle, not including fwinfo.xml or the .ta files.
It started up Android ok, but I noticed I seemed to have lost my TWRP. Anyway, while starting up Android, guess what? The fingerprint enabled software was there... and it works like a champ!
Since I seemed to have lost TWRP, I started from instructions again from http://www.stupdroid.com/2016/10/root-sony-xperia-x-compact.html and was able to get it back.
Then, I tried to get root, but following the instructions, I got the error ""There is no su binary installed" when opening SuperSU.
I then flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
And now I have root access!
Whew! I don't know what damage I've done overall... and since I don't have a nano SIM card yet, the worst case scenario is that what I have now doesn't work as a phone (but I doubt it). After what I went through (accidentally deleting the system from my Android phone), I now have a rooted Xperia X Compact with the fingerprint sensor enabled. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good?
And, when I took some low light pics, they turned out better!

Hello,
Can one please upload the Firmware 34.2.A.0.333 Customized German please?
I try till yesterday to create the downloaded files from Xperifirm but everytime the Flashtool app frozes!
Thx
And can i get OTA's After flashing a Firmware with Flashtool?
OTA is available
usually after flashing with flashtool I do repair device with xperia companion - just for sure
Does it have to be Germany? There really is no difference, even for Xperia Care.
If You need German, try downloading through XperiFirm. However do it now, as tomorrow there can be 34.2.A.2.47 not 32.2.A.0.333 available for this region.
If it doesn't matter, here You will find ftf for GreeceL
http://www.xperiasite.pl/topic/24789-f5121-342a0333-greece/
And Yes, after flashing with Flashtool Your device is exactly like bought with flashed region, so any OTA it will get, You will be able to download.
