Hi!
My flashmode is not working properly, could you please make a stock boot.img kernel?
Just the stock kernel, no mods.
Then I could flash kernel in fastboot.
Thanks for your great work!

Thanks,
How did you made the rom and stripped ftf from an full ftf file? I am waiting for NUT to update his DIY guide for 4.4 so I can use my own ftf file to make a rom, but maybe there already is a way to do that?

Does it work with Locked Bootloader?
I am currently on iHacker's rom and flashed with his recommended stripped kernel (should be 4.3's kernel)
I already have TWRP installed, can I just flash your ROM and use Flashtool to flash your stripped kernel?
Will that affects future downgrading?
Thanks for your work:good::good::good:

Yes, it will work on locked bootloader as its based on stock firmware so has stock kernel

Do I have to have a rooted device. Because I'm from the UK, and really eager to try out the kitkat. However, I'm not sure if it'll be safe.

For this yes, as you need recovery
Unless you install the recovery on 534 FW
However, you can flash a stock 4.4.2 FTF on flashtool without root

I was trying to install your CE1 version of KK but when it's installing in TWRP suddenly my phone woke up. I have tryed few times, but all time the same. I can't even flash ftf in Flashtool. I didn't wipe anything (i don't want to lose my saves from GTA ^^), I was installing it on already installed FR ver. What should i do?

can you please make another mirror, downloading from google drive is agonazingly slow, i've already tried the third time... it sais 10 hours...

After using this ROM for 20h there was only one call notification that was routed via the earpiece. So it is not bad, but not great. :/

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

Did you install the drivers that come with flash tool? there's a drivers folder inside the flash tool and there is the installation file for the drivers... install the flash mode drivers, the fastboot drivers and the Z2 tablet drivers

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

[FTF][Prerooted]23.0.1.A.0.167 RU for Z2 tablet [SGP521]

There are ftf and flasable zip file wich install latest ROM 23.0.1.A.0.167 RU, latest SuperSu v2.16 and latest beta Dualrecovery .154 for Tablet Z2 with read/write acces to system.
Stock ftf (.167) install via flashtool: SGP521_23.0.1.A.0.167_VMo RU-UA-KZ.ftf (1.16 GB )
Prerooted (.167) version flash via custom recovery on a previous (.314) version of firmware: SGP521_23.0.1.A.0.167_RU_flashable.zip (1.04 GB )
After install Wipe Cache/Dalvik.
Then you can use this deodex-patch

You need:
1. To downgrade firmware to .314 via flashtool and to root your tablet.
2. Install XZDualRecovery.
3. Install prerooted (.167) version via recovery (OP).

Thank you. I sat till 01:30 this morning to get my tablet back to workable state after trying to downgrade. In the process I lost some data.
The mistake I did was to flash your ftf file via flashtool after I did a OTA update to .167. From there things went south quickly. Now I'm back to .167 after flashing a generic .314 and doing an OTA.
Will start the process again to downgrade and then root and then install dual recovery.
Sorry for the stupid question. I'm from South Africa, is there a way I can get or make a flashable .167 for my region or doesn't it really matter using a RU version?

First off, i would like to say thank you for these FTF files
i flashed this FTF without a hitch, everything works as it should except my data connection. and for me, this is a deal breaker, i need the data connection (I'm currently with bell mobility)
now my question is...
can i take out the LTE bands from this 23.0.1.A.0.167 FTF and replace it with bell's (band4 1700MHz, band7 2600MHz)
sorry for this noob question, my other tab is the nexus 7... no FTF files to deal with.
firmware version
17.1.1.A.0.438 with a locked bootloader ( un-lockable )

Hi again. Managed to get the update done and now have. 167 installed with root. I'm having the same problem as blaze82 with regards to the LTE not working for me. I also need my LTE to work, so can this be fixed somehow?
An ex Asus transformer user, so the sony way of foing is also new to me.
Many thanks for files and help.

Just realized that there is no APN set for mobile Internet access. Added it and now my LTE is working.

Any flashable zip of new update .291?
Sent from Tapatalk Xperia Z3C

[Stock][PreRooted][D5503] 14.5.A.0.270 Customized CE1

ROM downloaded with XperiFirm and pre-rooted with PRFCreator.
CDA (customization version): 1280-7864
It will flash SuperSU and LockedDualRecovery (it will overwrite your current recovery).
You need to be on any rooted ROM already with custom recovery to flash a .zip file with this firmware!
You don't loose any data, you keep root, you update your firmware to the newest Lolipop build .270.

Tnx guys !!
5.1.1 update seems is not that far away.
On my Nexus 7 2013 working perfect, final and polished version.
Hope same will be on a Z1 compact, .242 firmware is fine for me, except ocassional ram/redraw apps problems, typical for 5.0.2 android.

Can someone check please if there's an Hebrew keyboard?

Hi,
I searched for instructions flashing from .zip file but I couldn't find any. Could you please describe the steps?
Thanks and regards.

You can flash this only if you have Custom Recovery flashed in your phone. If you have then boot into it, choose Flash .ZIP file or similar feature and you flash it. You have to put the .zip file on the SD card before this step.
If you don't have Custom Recovery or don't know how to use it - this is not a thread for you, sorry.

Region
Now I have a doubt, if I flash this in Spain, would it work? Is Europe, but no central...

Does Xposed work fine with this update?

Hello , will we receive next update 14.5.A.0.283 ???? Or will we have to update through pc companion or so please ?????
Thanks

I will post .283 version when it will be available for Central Europe region. So far it's available for T-mobile branded regions only.

Hi,
Sorry if the question is silly but will I be able to update to official sony 5.1.1 after flashing this rom? Will I still have root after update?

The version of this PRF is 5.0.2, the 5.1.1 has not been released by Sony yet.

He meant if he will get the update notification once Sony releases 5.1.1 with this ROM installed. My thoughts are probably yes you will get notification since this is stock basically.

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.
