Thanks mate, was looking at trying this firmware, but the last 4.2.2 update from telecom was really laggy, how have you found this one?

Its fine, I am running root and I always Trim but my BF has the same phone with same firmware unrooted and he hasn't complained yet

Well, I using 2degrees network and found this update few days ago, it's smoothly and faster of the camera app during launch. Telecome's rom got some icons that I not like to see so I just flash it at the begining. It will not break the warranty.

Yes while I did debloat, TRIM is a maintenance app for phones with solid state, it basically "defrags" your phone and can reduce some lag, look it up on the play store FSTrim, it requires root and it's good, i always run it after installing a new rom and i never get lag

Ah, right, I thought you meant trim the rom, but yes I did use that app on the previous telecom firmware, made a difference to.

Hi ,
Thanks for this and cheers from Auckland
So i got my Xperia Z from Hong Kong, and am looking to flash the stock Telecom NZ firmware. im using a 2Degrees sim, but theres no way to find 2degrees firmware.
Just wondering has Telecom already released the 4.2.2 update?! So if you buy a Z from telecom it comes with 4.2.2? or is this a leak or .... ?
Thanks mate

I found this ROM to be perfect. You will need to flash an old kernel to root then reflash the current kernel. But it's great.

Register, download the two files needed (USB Flash Driver and WotanClient 3) and install them, and start WotanClient. The firmware flash will start after filling your data and downloading the files.
that would be good to know how to make tft from a working phone. maybe with flashtool. someone may post the thread what leads us to workout .

Pay attention. Wotan has specific files, different from Sony's. And, also, the `a` from LT15a means US, if I'm not wrong...

Update: We have received word from a trusted source on what is written above. We have been told that 4.0.2.D.0.4 firmware is definitely NOT Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The ‘D’ in the firmware stands for branded firmware for NTT DoCoMo in Japan. The 3.0.1.B.0.285 firmware for the Xperia PLAY is related to AT&T and is NOT Android 2.3.6.

I believe it is not Docomo.
I am running 4.0.1.C.1.9 which is the latest Docomo firmware. The device states I have the latest available.
Wotan lists Docomo firmwares under model SO-01C, not Arc.
Flashed it, it's definitely Cellcom Israel.
Loaded w/bloatware, but most are just web shortcuts (600-700kb)

WOW!I just see the new rom . I hope it can make the camera better. 4.0.2.A.0.61 NEW ROM FOR ARC /ARC S 。
excited! do you know the date?when we can update it ?
this should be the firmware that sony have released playstation suite for arc in japan (testing) if anyone has installed this and want to try see if the ps suite runs check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402731 if this firmware does not contain the apps inbuilt. On the older firmwares it installs but errors starting ps store or game, hope there is different playstation certified permissions in this update for making it work.
If this works for you please let others know thanks.

As you can see in the list, it's only out for 'Vodafone DE', not for other German customizations ('Generic DE', 'o2 DE' and 'Telekom.de DE'):

As Apollo89 told already ... vfd is the only Provider in Germany who has released it already. you can check it yourself, by following the link which has already been posted.
It's quite strange Vodafone has it before it is available for unbranded phones... But no, it is not out on my German xz. Just wait or flash another customization, have a look at the search if you want to.

We noticed this already in previous updates.
Vodafone Germany is always fast ... also on Samsung devices.
The last Update was also on T-Mobile DE much faster than on unbranded Devices.
This should be a problem with the process at Sony or the country. Germany and UK are the last Countrys in their list to get the update. They never rollout an update on the same time world wide.
This can just be accidentally that Germany is one of the last countrys in Sonys Rollout-Policy or ...
- a question concerning patents
- other formulism (Regulation like FCC/IEC or what ever is needed to Import/Export the device with changed Software into that Country)
- Expiriences that people in some countrys are much more concerned about quality, so that some countrys might skip that update (i.e. other frequencys which doesn't work that good in that country or cause shorter batterie life, ...)
Also on Samsung Devices Germany is one of the last Countrys who is getting the Updates.

Firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 Generic Europe for XPERIA Z2 Tablet SGP512

I created an FTF file with firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 Generic Europe for XPERIA Z2 Tablet SGP512 if someone needs it.
It's uploaded on Dev-Host in a three-part RR file here:
SGP512_17.1.2.A.0.314_Generic Nordic.part1.rar - 500.00 MB
SGP512_17.1.2.A.0.314_Generic Nordic.part2.rar - 500.00 MB
SGP512_17.1.2.A.0.314_Generic Nordic.part3.rar - 64.88 MB
Device: Xperia Z2 Tablet 32Gb (SGP512)
Build number: 17.1.2.0.A.314
Android version: 4.4.2
Customization version: 1281-9080
Region: IT/ES/PT/DK/FI/NO/SE/GR
Branding: Unbranded (I think...)
Not much bloatware as far as I could tell
Oh, and it is my first FTF file ever, so I hope I got it all right...
I did name it Generic Nordic, but I think it should really be Generic Europe so that what I set the thread title to.
Sorry for the confusion.
Anybody tried this yet?
Works very well for me! Very big thanks for your upload! I've searched a long time for an SGP512 tft File!
Hi UgloBuglo,
I bought my tablet in Asia, but I live in France.
I think it could be useful for me to install this firmware. Do you agree with that ?
Thanks a lot,
Tom.
this works;......installed and rooted easily.

I used this FTF to flash downgrade SGP512 Tablet Z2 (UK Model) to 4.4.2, then rooted, then updated to 4.4.4 (Build Number is 23.0.1.A.0.167), and I still have root access.
However when I first got my tablet, I accidentally updated to 4.4.4 (before root), and I'm sure the build number was 23.0.1.A.4.30
And also AdAway won't install the host files, and enable itself. PS4 remote play wont start, just get error message
So, why is it different, and is it a problem?
From my understanding the root did not work correctly even though Super SU works and root checker verifies
for those who rooted this version can u give me what kernel u use for it, need root kernet twrp please thax for all for help

No. No need to wipe anything if upgrading, so make sure nothing is ticked in the wipe section if you want to keep your data.

That's about right. Ratio of thanks to downloads seems to be about 3% on xda
eg: my stock based kernel - 1700 downloads, 51 thanks.
Hahaha. 100 downloads now, so 1%! Never mind lol.

Nothing. Some people call generic roms customised because they are customised for that particular region.

Im more of a beginner in this field so I would want to know why the UK generic version is much awaited. I run the Indian generic version. Is the UK one better, should I flash my phone with the UK one?

Some people like to keep the original software from the country they live in on their phone.
No firmware from any region is better or worse than any other. The only difference is the preinstalled apps bundled in the rom are usually different between countries.
There's no reason for you to flash this if you're already on 283. I haven't been on Generic UK firmware for over a year myself.

Oh Thank you. My phone is getting a lil slower so was wondering whether reflashing it would help me in any other way and the buzz created around the UK rom was a lot so I thought this rom is better
I have C6602 in China. Can I flash this rom?
I have already got 4.4.4, but china version has no google framework.

Yes you can, but you should use a C6602 rom like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2876962

Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to install AOKP on my work colleague's C6630 (Xperia Z) which is from O2 in the UK, the bootloader allowed says No and I've tried the flashtool and the process shown in this thread, none of the root methods in the flashtool are working and the FlashMode doesn't respond when I attempt to install the generic UK rom, shows a quick red led, then a quick green led, then nothing.
I can carry out ADB or flashboot commands by going into those modes but nothing that will let me root or install a custom recovery partition.
I'm stuck and can't get any further, even though a lot of the guides here say you should still be able to get root while the bootloader is locked.
Thanks for this. After a major bootloop this helped bring my device back to life...

didn't work for me, it's stuck on a cycle of rebooting, then when loaded says a few things have stopped working then reboots again, restarts and repeats process! oh but when rebooting it goes through the optimising apps first 1 of 122 etc which takes a while.
So there is no way of stopping the process and no way of stopping the phone from restarting! basically my phone is now a brick!
