So don't make new thread with ftf if you can post link. You are only making with that problems for people with Tapatalk.

Hey calm down, there wouldn't be a ftf if I hadn't created it. If it doesn't work with Tapatalk, use something normal like Firefox. No-one is asking you to use the file I have created.

Cheers TheCraig, I really am just trying to help and get involved more. I have used the files here previously, just wanted to give something back. Wanted to try and get the EE branded 257 firmware too but I couldn't get it to download on it's own, only OTA and as far as I know you cannot create a FTF from an OTA download.

Don't worry. Some of us understand you are just trying to help.

I'm in the UK and I have an Unbranded Xperia Z1 C6903 which was bought separately (bought it sim free, not from EE), but my mobile plan provider is EE.
Would this be the correct FTF to flash to my phone or do I need to wait for an unbranded one?
Thanks!

Try it and see

You can use any UK C6903 FTF. For instance, I have an unbranded Z1 running on the O2 network, but have installed the vodafone FTF and it's running fine.
There is some vodafone bloatware included which are uninstallable without root, but heyho, everything is running smooth and dandy.
If you don't like it, you can always reflash.

Has anyone tried to disable exchange PIN requirements on the new 4.3 ?
I've traditionally used this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
and hope it still works with this new updated mail app. else I'll be going back to 4.2.2

No go at the minute. You can patch the files but there's no way of getting them to system/app without root (which you currently can't (easily) do at the minute)

Hey mate,
just wanted to let you know that I did it.
Used SEUS to flash to latest stock FW.
Then unlocked bootloader, and flashed CWM using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588331
Then flashed the latest SuperSU via CWM, and successfully obtained root.
Then I used the v3.4 of the exchange patch here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
voila. 4.3, rooted, CWM, and with exchange security overridden.

I felt differences in battery stamina mode in past 4.2.2 updates, i observed to learn about UK unique app: Extended Standby Mode (seems much more
effective in saving battery instead of Eco Mode Controller) I wonder 4.3 still have that in UK firmware ornot. Will test few days.
Found working in SONY SELECT connection (not blank for searching themes too), in other firmware seems abit problem
Oh right another is just extra apps such as File Commandeer, Xperia Diagnostic (For UK Firmware only), Dropbox, Xperia™ Lounge. Cheers

I flashed this rom on my phone..the status bar has 4G instead of LTE. Is this normal with this rom?

mmmh anybody else experiencing bluetooth audio problems on this firmware? it's strange, some kind of a scratching noise, not hearable all the time, but in a song always at the same certain time, like as if i'd be linked to a certain frequency or something (reproducible). just exchanged my mdr-10rbt headphones into new ones and then figured out that it wasn't them . maybe i'll just flash back to 4.2.2 and report.
edit: just flashed back to the german .67 rom and bluetooth audio works perfectly again. HOW IN HELL DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??

Pls use the latest flashtool available and move ftf file into firmware folder. Make sure u have installed necessary useb driver for Xperia Z. For ftf flashing, if there is "TA" option, pls exclude it. Hope helps

bro, is this tested? because i downloaded a commercial version recently and it is not being detected by flashtool as ftf. i can see my other ftf but not that one. i do not want to waste my time downloading for something not working, thats all. i just want to make sure this works.

Overload. Wait link mega.co.nz

You should remove the link to Flashtool 0.9.13.0 from your post, as firstly it's an old version and secondly it's considered bad manners at least to be hosting software that you didn't create.
Flashtool is available from www.flashtool.net

Ok, I've corrected. Thanks

thanks, done with the download, flashed, and seems good. though the lag which has been reported already is still present. but i just want to share with you guys, i notice that the NCB version seems to have less lags than this one. just a thought though, but for me, the difference is really observable. and so i am thinking of reflashing the NCB version.

Dude, C6602 and C6603 are separate models, I don't think one can be upgraded to the other.

my phone has already cosumed the 10 chaces for being unlocekd
so my phone is locked and already consumed the chances for being unlocked, if I do this it will reset the counter?

1. Flash 230 kernel only with Flashtool.
2. Root with towelroot or Easy Root.
3. Flash 283 kernel only with Flashtool.
That's the only way to root with a locked bootloader currently.

updating my XZ now

XZ getting way too hot and other issues after updating and rooting 4.4.4
Hello,
I flashed the generic Singapore ftf and rooted using towelroot.
At first I thought all went well, but there are some issues.
1: the powerbutton sometimes seems unresponsive and doesn't give me the lockscreen.
2: Charging the phone takes much longer then before (could be a good thing though)
3: Battery drain ( mentioned before in this forum and many other), but i see the percentages drop when using the phone even when it's charging
4: The phone gets really hot. When testing the camera app I got the message that i have to wait for the phone to cool down.
Never had any message like this before.
Are there others having the same issues??
Perhaps I did something wrong during the flashing and rooting
Many tnx

no I ment no improvements.
I will try to flash again. Hoping it gets better

got this rom yesterday and no power drain jet
Looks like a bug fix....

I flashed the rom again.
Before I did I made a backup to save the important stuff.
I didn't uncheck data when using flashtool so I could start with a fresh rom. Rooted the phone with easyroot like Kingvortex (tnx) described.
So far so good! No excessive heat or batterydrain.
Again very happy with me XZ.
I guess I had to many junk on the phone interfering with a nice working ROM.

Please kindly upload on the other server like hugefiles.net or putlocker.
