Good news

Very good news

Today I received an update on the PC Companion (I have the French version, not on a specific carrier) but it's stuck on error 1200 (Sony Mobile Update Engine Error 1200).
I will try to fix this error and let you know.

did you try to delete the folder with the numeric name in: "C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\"
and then start again?
by the way, is it possible to root the new firmware with EasyRootTool?

you should be able to root it with newroot but yo might have to flash .108 kernel then root your phone then flash the new kernel

Solved error 1200 by desactivating my antivirus
Now, it's downloading the firmware (it will take around 2 hours)... and yes, I have a poor internet connexion :crying:
According to this tutorial (to share the firmware once it will be downloaded), I have to use Flashtool. But if I look on the "Tools3 menu, I dont' see the option "SEUS Decrypt". What should I do ?

could you share your si number or build.prop ?

False alarm, it's the same firmware than I had
I already was using firmware 14.4.A.0.108 and it updated to the same one ? And why today ? Maybe a second edition ?
@Pakman123 : what do you mean by my si number ? Is it 1279-7243 ?

The Z2 got very nice updtae to 4.4.4 with changelog similar to Z3 (camera apps, PS4 etc.)
I hope our Z1c will have the same update too..

Bear with me if this is a stupid question, but this is my first Sony phone. I have a UK unlocked S5503 running 14.4.A.0.108 which I bought second hand. It appears to have originally been sold by Virgin Mobile and some carrier-specific apps are in present in the ROM. For some reason also I'm not getting any LTE - the options under mobile networks/network mode are only 3G or GSM.
What I want to do is flash my phone to a stock unlocked UK firmware such as this one, when it finally comes out - which hopefully should get rid of the carrier apps and give me LTE.
What sort of update file should I be looking for? how are roms normally packaged, as full updates to flash from the PC or as updates you can flash from the phone itself? how can I tell which is which?

Each country has an individual firmware. Most noticeable change is on setup the language is default to that country.
There may also be some variations within the remote control app.

Actually since I can choose my language "Italian" from the rom it works out of the box, I can easily root it, but I can't update then to 370, it downloads the update, start to apply then after a few seconds reboot and gave errore message (generico:impossible to update).
If I'll do that with kyes I'm pretty sure it will destory the root.
I'm not a "root maniac", but I would like to restore apps+apps data from my S4 to Xperia Tablet Z as done with the new nexus, and I need root for that.
AdAway would be nice to use too...
Well, I'll try to find if it's a root problem or DE rom on IT tablet problem, but I'm pretty sure that the tablet is downloading the right update, so maybe it's the root stuff that cause troubles

Thank you for this. I managed to get a Chinese 402 fimware downloaded, created an ftf out of it and flashed it successfully. Would be more helpful if this wasn't a Chinese build but its a start.
Edit: I chose 402 as its the latest firmware that is supported by doomlord root and recovery. The endpoint is to be back on CM11/12. Having a tough time as im not able to boot to recovery from the Chinese build. Also seems that there is a possible hardware issue as I am having intermittant connectivity issues with the tablet. It seems to come in and out of flash mode on its own in the flashtool. I am trying to flash a different firmware but it wont stay in flash mode long enough for the firmware flash to complete successfully. Pretty frustrating. I noticed this usb issue while using chargers over the last month or so too. Tablet would show that it was charging for a second then not charging intermittently. I thought it could be rom related which inspired the want to ftf back to stock but i think that there is something physically wrong with this tab now. Shame as its only six months old and was barely used.

wooo bad luck buddy, you should take it back to sony while you still got the chance (under warranty). If you have saved the DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader, you should relock it and flash a stock ftf (Canadian version). i dont know why the OP link doesnt work. but i had just checked my box account and the files are still there the .402 one

You shouldn't really install this anyway.
I've said this in another thread, but if you flash the wrong firmware you can effect your baseband and each ROM also has different settings depending on your region. Like some might use "LTE" and some might use "4G". There's also other changes such as if fast dormancy is enabled or disabled, so you really should wait and install the correct ROM for your device.
I'm waiting for the generic UK version to be updated. It's odd though that T-Mobile's was released before it since the generic version doesn't have to go through the same network checks and customization.
Not true - In the UK all networks have to authorise or approve the update before it can be released to Generic devices

The generic update doesn't need anything from the network providers as it's downloaded from Sony servers. It just has to pass certification.
None of the UK network providers put out the generic update over their network. There's nothing to customize and it doesn't depend on them. Think about it. If Sony had to wait for all of them to approve the update then it wouldn't be released for months because they would all hold off giving it the go ahead until their network specific versions were ready.
Most of the time the updates are released in whatever order Sony feels like giving them out in. Before it was the generic version, O2 and Vodafone with the rest to follow and now it's as if it's gone in the opposite order.

NFC, LTE icons and option to convert diacritic marks into normal characters (when you use diacritic marks SMS can contain only 70 characters; this option will convert for example word żółw into zolw so you have 160 character SMS back).

The UK uses EURO-LTE, which uses a different baseband file. Here in the UK it's called 4G and not LTE, so although it might appear to work it's still going to give you the wrong network icons and options. That can result in people complaining about poor battery life and other such issues.

As do I, which is why I think you're confusing certification with approved provider specific firmwares.
Network providers only have to approve of their own custom firmwares. They'll check the settings, branding and include any bundled apps. They don't have to do that with the generic firmware though because it's not designed for their version of the device. So the generic firmware is certificed (safe and works on the networks) and then that's enough for it as Sony distributes that update. The network providers already know what's included in the update because it's exactly the same as their own version but without all of the branding and crap.
Hello.
I'm in Italy and I have a Xperia Z1 6903, with KK, rooted with newroot and CWM Recovery v.6.0.4.7 (installed by newroot) and with some modules Xposed; Locked bootloader.

Hello. I have a Xperia Z1 with KK and root. After doing wipe data and cache wipe, I installed the ROM from recovery. The ROM I had copied from the PC to microSD (SD card1 that). But the procedure only lasts 2-3 sec. At the restart I am still with KitKat, only with a factory reset. What is wrong?
Any chance of you building the [.270 ] version for the 6906?

How to update and review f8131 xperia x performance to new android 7.0 nougat.

Hey there, this is a Guide to Update the Xperia X Performance F8131 To the new Android 7.0 Nougat, also with a Small Review if you want to know what’s new, or you will wait for your region to be available.
I made this guide because i had an issue that i tried to flash the FTF via flash tool, but it is useless the flash tool needs to be updated before we can flash android 7.0 Updates. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THE _39.2.A.0.327 YOU WILL BREAK THE SYSTEM OF YOUR PHONE. Also for those like me that doesn't want to wait for the update to be available in your region.
First of All i am not responsible of bricked phones by using this guide.
Review about the Software (WITH SCREENSHOTS)​
Well First of All is that the lockscreen have a few New Changes for the notifications and the clock (its bigger Now)
Now the Quick Widgets in the notification bar are now small al of them.
Also the Wifi and antenna icons are slightly different
Now we have Stamina levels that we can Change to get better Battery.
On Camera we have the new Camera APP that Xperia XZ Has that can change many more things in manual mode.
Contact and Dialer have a few Changes.
It feels Slightly Faster than before, so you can check it up.
Thats all i can tell from now, we will see in the time.
Process to do the Update:​1- You will need the latest flash tool available, you can download it in http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php if you don’t know how to use this tool, please search on the internet first.
2- You will need the software update F8131 35.0.A.1.275 Customized RU you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxPbn7RHkJD1WElDV2xHMkhyMzg/view Thanks to [email protected]
3- What you will actually do, it’s to flash the 6.0 MM ftf on your phone for Russia because in that region it’s available to download OTA the Update for 7.0 Nougat.
4- Flash the downloaded FTF on your phone with the usual method (Remember to charge your phone at least at 80%, you will need that battery).
5- When your phone finished and booted, just connect to a Wireless Network and go to settings ----> About Phone -----> Software Update and click update and let it work.
6- You will do 2 updates, one to the 6.0 Update .297 and then the 7.0 Nougat update will be available.
7- Enjoy the new software Update
The flashtool has updates for F8132. I just tried the Russian 39.2.A.0.327 and it didnt work... Im trying the same update but from Taiwan... Hope it works I think its the Nougat update..

Stock ROM for Xperia X Compact?

Hi, I assume someone much smarter than me will be able to point me to a Sony Xperia standard/stock ROM which I can flash with TWRP.
I had loaded TWRP and manages to accidentally wipe out the system with no backup (it's a new phone anyway). I found some ROMS from European telcos, etc. but would like to install the "standard" Sony Xperia ROM for XC.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
PS. I think it would be easiest for me to able to install it through TWRP.... but obviously, anyway to recover my phone would be great.
PPS. Still can access device with adb and Flashtool, but not from Fastboot or Sony PC Companion.
PPS. I have installed OmniROM in the meantime... but don't want to spend too much time on it if I am going to wipe it out anyway.
PPS. I am in the US.
Update:
I found XperiaFirmware. It's downloading F5321_34.1.A.3.49_CE.ftf. Per the download website, will take about 18 hours on average, but it is progressing better than that.
I also found XperiFirm tool which downloads much faster, but I don't know which version. My understanding is that US customized is for CDA version of the phone. I also ran across the post about enabling the fingerprint reader by downloading the UK customized version... But based on latest attempts to do this, since UK version has been upgraded to Nougat, this approach is not working anymore...? But anyway, I could give it a shot to try a European version which is still on MM,
Update: *Whew*
I used XperiFirm to select a ROM. I didn't know which ROM, but I was intrigued to enable the fingerprint scanner. Due to some recent posts that the original method of using the Customized UK (or as they would say "Customised UK") version no longer works as the posted firmware was for Nougat. As a workaround, some people downloaded CE version, but CE version has also been recently updated to Nougat. I noticed a CE5 version which still seemed to be the MM version.
However, I also wasn't sure what differences I may see in the European version as some posters were complaining about some cosmetic differences, so I downloaded Customized US even though I thought I read somewhere it was for CDMA network. I also decided to download one called "Commercial and Journalists" which was the same MM version.
I decided to install it first as I was anxious about trying to get my phone back. I was able to load OmniROM but since there were some known issues, my preference was to use authentic Sony firmware. In addition, I took some low light pictures with the OmniROM version, and they turned out really bad. Not sure if it was the ROM or what, but it was very disappointing. Also, I couldn't get root access to it. Also, even though OmniROM seemed to support the fingerprint scanner, I couldn't get it to register my fingerprint well.
I downloaded the Commercial and Journalists version from XperiFirm, let it unpack it, and then used FlashTool to create the bundle, not including fwinfo.xml or the .ta files.
It started up Android ok, but I noticed I seemed to have lost my TWRP. Anyway, while starting up Android, guess what? The fingerprint enabled software was there... and it works like a champ!
Since I seemed to have lost TWRP, I started from instructions again from http://www.stupdroid.com/2016/10/root-sony-xperia-x-compact.html and was able to get it back.
Then, I tried to get root, but following the instructions, I got the error ""There is no su binary installed" when opening SuperSU.
I then flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
And now I have root access!
Whew! I don't know what damage I've done overall... and since I don't have a nano SIM card yet, the worst case scenario is that what I have now doesn't work as a phone (but I doubt it). After what I went through (accidentally deleting the system from my Android phone), I now have a rooted Xperia X Compact with the fingerprint sensor enabled. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good?
And, when I took some low light pics, they turned out better!
