I am new here in this forum but i was also facing problem with root accedently i update my arc from 0.42 to 0.62 and i lost my root. Now yesterday rooted my arc and my phone once again awsome.....I want to share how i did it and this happened with the help of comments in this forum and moders and developer who develop the mods for arc. Its not my work just share.
(1) MAke backup of your market appliction with titanium backup.
(2) Download 4.0.2.A.0.42 from ( jlmcr87 posted the link )
(3) Flash this firmware with any version of flastool i did this with 0.2.9 & 0.6.8
(4) After flashing the firmware root xperia arc with the methood of ( zergRUSH any version ) i root with the ( zergRUSH version 1 & 3).
(5) After that immediately connect your phone with wireless network and check for update. Its display that new version is availabe 4.0.2.A.0.62. Click to update
After update click to install. IT will take time and your phone start several time dont worry about it. After completing update first boot take time.
(6) To Check root install CWM autoinstaller or Titanium backup. Have fun

Same for me - tried 3+ times now.
This post seems to suggest the update is no longer available with ICS so close, but in that case I'd have thought it would fail earlier - the download seems to work fine; it's the install that fails.
43
ya.. but i can root ...
i have firmware 42 . i rooted with zergrush,then i deleted some bloatware previously..
so i have retored the stuff that i deleted from system/app..
then i update over air for .62 i download. after that phone rebooted.. then within the second it told me that "update failed" for .62 firmware ...!!
plz help to correct me
As in my second post i told download 0.42 firmware from this link( ://uploaded.to/file/vmfu4czg ) then flash it and then root it. Then update it through wifi. Today i try it on xperia s (LT18i) and i ts working perfectly i did not face any problem.
try flashing 0.42 Generic Global and then do all the procedure
Srry for lazy in translating, i have some more detail (including picture to demonstrate) in this link
Hope this can help
If you want to update OTA from .42 to .62, don't change anything in the system files. Update to .62 OTA first, then do whatever you want to your phone.
Hi there Got the same problem. I was always using Zergrush method for root. When I got .62 firmware it wont work. (fails in console while rooting). You said that we must flash .42 firmware then root, then update via OTA, but I got relocked bootloader. Can it brick my phone?
Not with locked bootloader.
Only use ota with locked bootloader
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Yes, but my friend got xperia play. After unlocking bootloader he locked it with THIS
method. Then he start updating via OTA and get his phone bricked.
I got locked bootloader with the same method.
Hello to all Devs and fans at XDA who see my first post. For years I have watched the community and benefited from the knowledge they shared on the smartphones frontier. But today, I humbly ask for a hand from whoever might be be able to provide me with what I need.Here is situation:
1- I do hate Sony firmwares of Android 4.3 and the new 4.4 firmware because I want to stay LB and I do need to root and mount SYSTEM partition
which are difficult on such firmwares and I simply don't like deodexed flashable roms dear devs here provide.In my opinion Android 4.2.2 FW 14.1.G.2.257 seems to be the best one for me...but how to get this one rooted and stay odexed on LB? here are the steps I took :
2- I was on 4.3 and when i went to 14.1.G.534 my phone lost IMEI and GSM SIGNAL and couldn't OTA to 14.1.G.2.257(much to my surprise the phone downloaded the OTA update but the installation failed, so I flashed 14.1.G.2.257 and then went all the way back to the first firmware of z1 which is rootable: 14.1.G.534
3- I rooted this firmware with Kingo root , updated superSU Pro to the latest version enabled survival mode in its settings and installed recovery but now the OTA updater on the phone detects Android 4.3 FW 14.2.A.0.290 and I have no clue how to make it OTA to 14.1.G.2.257 NOT 14.2.A.0.290. As of now, I am stopped here and wondering if a small flashable zip with my desired OTA update could be provided to solve my problem or any other idea how to have my phone in the desired state...
Your help is highly appreciated :crying:
I'm not sure but I believe that not all firmware versions allows for OTA update from 534 to 257. You might have flashed a 534 firmware that only allows for OTA from 534 to 290. Have you tried the firmware from this thread?
If you are already on the firmware in the above thread, it may be the case that the OTA to 257 is just no longer available. You'll have to flash a de-odexed and pre-rooted 257 firmware (e.g. here).
Thank you for your reply. I am indeed on the firmware you mentioned. If you noticed I had said if Iflashed directly from 290 to 534 I would lose IMEI but my phone detected 257 for OTA update but when it restarted to install, it failed and i was back with no change. If I downgrad from 290 to 257 and then to 534 I will have IMEI and signal back but this time 290 is detected for OTA.Yeah i read the post related to my firmware but I don't need a deoexed rom and I don't know how to redoex it if using that would be my last choice.

On NUT thread you'll find firmware 534.
You can flash that one from 4.3 or even 4.4 and you'll preserve IMEI.
Without IMEI you can't update firmware through OTA so, probably, that was the problem.
Now you should be able to update firmware through OTA.
If that fails or OTA offers latest firmware you don't want to use you can try to find flashable firmware 290 but I doubt we have that...

OK i think I know what is going on but could I have a rooted UN-DEODEXED 14.1.G.2.257 on my z1??The method you proposed for upgrading to 257 and keeping root now want's to install 290 on my phone....I wish to install 257 NOT 290
I searched but couldn't find any rooted un-deodexed 257 firmware, and that's why I didn't point you to one in my previous post. I think most of us upgraded via OTA to 257 and kept root, hence there wasn't a need for a developer to create a rooted un-deodexed 257 firmware.
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

Giving it a go.

Flashable zip worked great.
Thanks again.

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
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.

Cant find details about .270 changelog, anyone knows?

To flash, should I do a wipe in the recovery?

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.

@jesusabc
You need an rooted Device! Zip File should flashed about Recovery.
you could downgrade to a an older FW example to Droid 5.0.2 Build 23.1.A.1.28
(flash Ftf-File with Flashtool) and root your Device with Kingoroot or similar and install Recovery.
then you can flash the Zip from Op.

So as I understand it...
I should install official FW 23.1.A.1.28, which includes 5.0.2 I assume... root my device using KINGROOT and, later, install the ZIP in the first post of this thread in the recovery... that´s ok?????
23.1.A.1.28 should be installed using flashtool?? Is there any thread over this forum where I can download it?
I found this one:
== SGP611 (Wifi 16GB) ==
- 23.0.1.A.0.167: Xperia Tablet Z3 compact - SGP611 - FTF files
IS THAT OK?????
Thanks again in advance for your help
Yeah right, FW 23.1.A.1.28 or older (0.167) is ok und should be easier to root.
P.S. If I can find time for the day(s), I'm uploading the FW x.1.28 still (with root options) .

Can you confirm that it will not work for SPG612 ? Looks like its the same .. or not ... This is always confuse.
For now, I am in .232 and need .264 on SPG612 (pre-rooted & recovery).
Tried to install OTA but, it restarted to the Android (open engine ..) and then, does nothing and continued to TWRP ... so, I restart to system and I see that update has not been applied.
What should I do ?
EDIT: Ok, I've tried to do the same as the author ... but .. maybe not enough for the update ?
So, I downloaded PRFCreator + last SuperSU + last DualRecovery.
I then used PRFCreator with all checked + signed => I got a first ZIP.
My first flash showed some error for FOTAKernel and Kernel (=boot).
So, I restored all partitions and created another ZIP without FOTAKernel => failed on the Kernel.
So, I restored all partitions and created another ZIP without FOTAKernel & Kernel => success
But, once I boot and goes to software update .. I still see the update "23.4.A.1.264" ... and I can also see that I run the exact same version ..
So, I suppose the update is not correct or partial .. (recovery is still present so, I could easily restore previous backup).
I've also tried to wipe cache and dvolk..* cache but same result.
Any idea ?
Is there a place to find all stock rom for SGP612 ?
EDIT2: let's try this one: http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/res...ct-wi-fi_sgp612_23-4-a-3-6_japan_generic.554/
EDIT3: OK, flashed and the only error was because of FOTAKernel which I don't care. Kernel was correctly flashed (+system +modem +..label).
After startup, no more update available and the expected "up-to-date" => perfect!
