So, I bought my X compact 5 days ago and it was on Android 6. The sound output was simply amazingand the volume really, really high. I decided to install all the OTA updates and now the volume has been reduced noticeably. Is there anyone else who has noticed it? Any solutions to it?
Thanks in advance.
I bought my XC last week that came with marshmallow and then I updated to Nougat. I can't say I experienced the same problem. It was always kind of meh.

Here is my personal .198 ftf, it took me a few days of searching on the web to find this one when I bought mine. Xposed is more than worth it to be on MM anyways.

Depends on your skill set and willingness to learn how to mod one apk to do what you need multiple modules to do, and how concerned with security you are.

Thank you both guys. Two last guestions. Is .198 the latest Marshmallow (before our phone upgraded to Android 7). Also, when I dial the code for secret menu,under software info, the Active Customization number is my SI, right?

Mine is 1304-8441_R3D. I'm not sure if it was the last one, I only used it in order to be able to backup my TA partition then unlocked my BL, used POC to create a kernel that uses my TA partition to restore DRM functionality. Then I flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and used SuperSU to root.

I'm just not feeling like going for Marshmallow due to a bug at 7.1.1, since our devices will get more updates as the time goes by, which means there are chances we're seeing it fixed.

No, I'm using the latest 7.1.1, .228 rooted Nougat. When I come to sell my X Compact in the next week or so when the XZ1 Compact drops I'll downgrade to MM again to unroot and relock my BL then update back to N.

Ha, I'm just experienced with Xperias. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, Arc, Ray, Sony Xperia Z, Z1 Compact, Z3 Tablet, X Compact, everyone rooted or had it's bootloader unlocked and never had an issue with any that required a warranty repair.
Not saying it can't happen as I have seen a few instances over the years when others have had to, but it's a small percentage and doesn't warrant being so overly cautious during, imo of course.

No chance that they will find a root for this FW at all?
I had to send my phone in for repairs. And they upgraded it to the latest version, even after I specifically asked not to update it
I just bought a second hand SO-02E that's already on the 343 update. I love the phone but I want to have root capabilities for various apps, is there no way to downgrade te firmware? This is my first Sony smartphone and apparently only Samsung phones can be easily downgraded.

Sony has certified two new firmware's at PTCRB !!!
The first one based on 4.1.2 (i think), it is the 10.1.1.A.1.319 at Jun 4, 2013.
The second one based on 4.2.2 or maybe 4.3 (i think), it is the 10.3.A.0.407 at Jun 4, 2013, too.

Thats crazy, why became the C6606/6616 (the US T-Mobile Version) the newest firmware first. The funny you can buy this version of Xpereia Z only by T-Mobile US.
For two weeks i became the .253 and wait now of the .307, two weeks update is the new way of Sony update policy .

Unlocking bootloaders has nothing to do with Flashtool. But yes, as long as you don't unlock your bootloader you can pretty much do whatever you want.
We're talking about flashing with flashtool, but how many people that own the phone never heard/went on XDA how many of them never heard of flashtool. All of those people rely on their operators to push updates.

Unless your phone from country "x " from provider "1" and you flashed to country "y" provider "n" so to be safe make a backup from your original blobs and take the time and learn how to create your "backup.ftf" ... At some point, could save your phone... Occasionally.

That's right. Before flashing anything to your phone, it's always a good idea to create a backup of the original firmware customization, so that you can easily restore your phone to factory state if required, especially if it's difficult to find an FTF file online with your customization.
Luckily, there is also a way to return to your original customization without FTF file, but it requires a rooted phone with a locked bootloader:
[GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization with SUS and create an FTF with Flashtool

I am wondering if there are any ways to root this phone as the DPI is pretty large for my liking and if there will be Cyanogenmod for it in the near future ?

And what do we need to root on a locked bootloader? Security holes. It's an interesting issue, but I doubt it can be used to gain root on the most recent firmwares (with dm-verity and such).

So I got my device and unlocked the bootloader. Now PC Companion refuses to update and when trying to register for Emma it claims to have sent a confirmation e-mail, yet I've never received it. No matter how many times I try.
Please somebody ease my pain and tell there's a way to at least root this now?

I guess you have Marshmallow .291 firmware?
What device id exactly D66?? ?
If D6603...
(locked bootloader and you don't want root) get Marshmallow Concept .3657: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69273678&postcount=1962
It's the latest and last Sony ROM for Z3, security level October 2016. Great battery life (ForceDoze works great) and really stable (yes you get the Sony apps from the store).
(locked bootloader and you want root) get Lollipop .264, like my DE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-xperia-z3-23-4-1-264-customized-t3259252
For me the battery life is disappointing on their "official" MM, going from 6h Screen-on-Time on 5.1.1 to barely 4h on their "final" firmware .291 is really bad.
Just checked and yeah i have the 291
How do i get the good version? Do i need to format my phone and flash it or is it like a normal update?
Also just checked i got the d6603

There's a nougat version for D6603 but it's a custom rom and needs an unlocked bootloader. It's called Lineage os 14.1 by Nailyk.

There are the Developers Previews, but I can't recommend them as daily drivers:
* latest DP4 has a killer bug (whenever it switches Wi-Fi off it will reboot)
* while DP3 is not full SDK24 yet, had even issues installing apps
You can get that Nougat look if you have root on 5.1.1 with Xposed + Android N-ify for the quick settings (get latest build #827 here) + this nav bar.
(in Android N-ify remember to enable "fancy anymations")
/LE: keep in mind that whatever I'm saying above you don't need an UNlocked bootloader.

Where are your results? I don't mind setting every thing up again. I m a bit afraid of the process. Also how much better will be my battery life? This is my biggest concern.

For me the battery life is disappointing on their "official" MM, going from 6h Screen-on-Time on 5.1.1 to barely 4h on their "final" firmware .291 is really bad.

(I mean 5.1.1 firmware .264 or Marshmallow Concept .3657, have great battery life)
Again, this depends on your user case, I can't swear you'll see this exact difference.
The flash process is simple, too simple, my biggest gripe is setting apps again, stabilize my workflow, and use the device as usual for 2-3 battery cycles ( 100%->5%) to be able to judge that on a fair ground. (eg. while installing apps, copying files or rebooting, the battery drain is bigger, that's not to be accounted...)

I guess you have Marshmallow .291 firmware?
What device id exactly D66?? ?
If D6603...
(locked bootloader and you don't want root) get Marshmallow Concept .3657: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69273678&postcount=1962
It's the latest and last Sony ROM for Z3, security level October 2016. Great battery life (ForceDoze works great) and really stable (yes you get the Sony apps from the store).
(locked bootloader and you want root) get Lollipop .264, like my DE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-xperia-z3-23-4-1-264-customized-t3259252

.291 is the last official one.
You can get root on Concept .3657 if you have an unlocked bootloader. It's the last one from Sony but it's not "officialy supported" blahblah, it's just "concept/test", use it if it works.

Nope, you need an unlocked bootloader, then you can root it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-android-t3490519
So like I said in an other thread I opened,I have issues with low volume output on my current Nougat firmware (.228) and I was thinking of giving Marshmallow a try.
After searching I managed to find that 34.1.A.3.49 was the latest Marshmallow firmware released. My question is: Where can I find the .ftf file for my SA number? Xperifirm only has the latest Nougat firmware and Google wasn't my best friend this time.
Thanks for your time
Don't know about the trustworthiness of this site or how fluent you are in 'singaporese', but this is what my google-fu yielded me:

I'm aware of a Singapore version as well, but isn't there any other way to find the ftf for my SI? Should I have kept one before updating my device? That's what I'm wondering...
Thanks for replying!

Marshmallow has the low volume output as well. There are sound mods but that still only brings it up from "silent" to "can barely hear it".
Here is the .198 firmware from EU- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx5gPVuLapkKTU1vOHVsLTMzWGc this one has the androplus kernel available for it.

I am pretty sure there is a version that has louder output than the one I an currently one, and it is/was really, really louder. When I bought my phone it on Marshmallow,and I did almost 8 upgrades OTA. I listened to music on the 3rd upgrade or 4th,but I'm not sure whether it was Nougat(7.0) or Marshmallow. That's why I thought I should give .198 version a try. On the other hand, android 8 is on its way, which might make things different. I'm a bit confused

have you unlocked the bootloader? If for some reason your drm fix isn't working right low volume is one of the issues, although it is more of a feature with xperias lol

No, all I've done is upgrade my device OTA.
