[C6903] 14.2.A.1.142 released for Telekom.de in Germany

My CDF scanner detected the only operator to receive the 14.2.A.1.142 update, which is Telekom.de in in Germany..
C6903_14.2.A.1.142_Telekom.de DE_1276-5028_R6B.ftf [947.6 MB]
https://mega.co.nz/#!qYpk2BzA!0AQfBYhayTSO0LjXLprndY11Dq1XtI5mMU_mBYGbIb4
NOTE: I cannot test this myself, since I have C6902. Use on your own responsibility!
BTW,
I'm building a tool that will let you download any Sony Xperia firmware's APP-SW, FSP, ELABEL and S1, which you can use with Flashtool to make a FTF bundle.

So excited to see what brings to us!
but seems that is just for the Z1 compact, as i have seen earlier today
cheers
It's not for the Z1 Compact... As I said, I scanned all C6902, C6903, C6906 and C6943 customizations, and this one showed for C6903.
Finally I'm returning from work and very soon I'll upload the FTF (already got the SIN_FILE_SETs).
Unfortunately, finding all changes will not be that easy since this branding jumped directly from 14.1.G.2.257 to 14.2.A.1.142, but I'll try comparing it to an unbranded 14.2.A.1.136, it might give some hints.

Please share any new thing you find (if any). My bet is that .142 (for Z1 and Z1 Compact) is a variant especially made for Telekom.de, with some minor modifications to suit the operator's needs, but that's my guess.
New firmware 14.2.A.1.142 certified for Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact .
Sony Mobile has just certified a new firmware build with version number 14.2.A.1.142 for the Xperia Z1 (C6902, C6903, C6943, C6906), Xperia Z Ultra (C6802, C6833, C6843, C6806) and Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503). This new firmware most likely brings some bug fixes and performance enhancements, given that the small incremental number upgrade from the last firmware (14.2.A.1.136)

Still, sharing updates is vital.

Website for Japanese Xperia's FTF

I created a Website to gather FTF for Japanese version Xperia since Japanese models generally doesn't have xda thread or other websites to share FTF.
http://ftf.xn--l8je9byecb9a3syb.xn--q9jyb4c/
At the moment there are only few models and versions since I couldn't find others...
If someone has FTF not listed on the Website, please post here.
I'll add it on the Website.
Devices on the Website (7/31):
Xperia acro IS11S
Xperia SX SO-05D
Xperia VL SOL21
Xperia Z SO-02E
Xperia UL SOL22
Xperia Tablet Z SO-03E
Xperia A SO-04E
Xperia Z1 SO-01F
Xperia Z1 SOL23
Xperia Z Ultra SOL24
Xperia Z1 f SO-02F
Xperia Z2 SO-03F
Xperia A2 SO-04F
Xperia ZL2 SOL25
thank you so much ! this is helpful site
Incredibly appreciated! Hopefully some of the international exploits will be found to be effective on these firmwares as well. Following the 2ch threads on root, and it seems like the biggest breakthrough has still been the restoration of DRM functions after unlock, but no actual root with a locked bootloader yet.
If we could just get that TA partition backup we'd be in the clear to flash...
That's a very neat site!  ありがとう!
thank you so much ! for sol25 zl2

If you want the system apps you can flash only the system portion of the ftf file. If you want the kernel, you'll brick your phone.

Can anyone please post an FTF for E6553 (generic Hong Kong version)? I managed to brick my phone
Edit: Never mind - PC companion repair menu saved the device model in its history, so I'm good for now . But post it anyway if you could as we need to build a good FTF collection

few questions...
do you need to have the bootloader unlocked to use flashtool?
Also, I like in the USA and bought the z3+. The current CDA is HK generic which is version .24. I see that the generic UK version is .27. Is there an advantage to put the .27 firmware on the phone?

No. Unlocked Bootloader is just for rooting.

The only variants using 28.0.A.7.27 are "Customized UK" and "O2 Pay monthly UK". Every other variant is 28.0.A.7.24 or older. They often did that with the Z2 too and the main reason was because of bugs so I guess they released 28.0.A.7.24 for UK too but noticed some bugs, thus fixed these and released 28.0.A.7.27
28.0.A.7.24 and 28.0.A.7.27 should be the exact same Android version 5.0.2. If it were Android 5.1 or even 5.1.1 they would have used a much higher version number.

I can't say about Z3+ but for Z2 and here it still worked. Maybe Sony changed something with the Z3+ but I don't think so. In short (but without guarantee): yes, it should still work.

Thank you. You have been helpful. That leads me to yet another question (I am a first time xperia user, I have used HTC up to this point).
In the flashtool I was able to choose the z3+ as my device. It was my understanding that the z3+ was not included yet., WIth that said there are options within the flashtool to root the device. IS that something that can be done now?
FTF E6553_28.0.A.7.27_1295-7703_R6A
Device: E6553
Version: 28.0.A.7.27
Country: UK
Provider: unbranded
Customization number: 1295-7703
Size: 2.071.057.904 Bytes
Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8gf20AKtya0Skw2ZmFGZXFnMWs/view?usp=sharing
1) Get latest Flashtool from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php and install it
2) Run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and select Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers and both Xperia Z2 Device Drivers (there are no Z3+ drivers yet but the Z2 ones work great)
3) Download the FTF you want and save it in eg. C:\
4) Power Off your Z3+ and connect the microUSB cable to it (but leave it disconnected from the Computer)
5) Run C:\Flashtool\FlashTool.exe (or FlashTool64.exe if you have a 64-Bit Operating System on your Computer)
6) Click the Lightning icon on the very left
7) Select Flashmode and click OK
8) On the top select the path where you have your FTF downloaded
9) On the left select the firmware you want to flash
10) IMPORTANT: On the right in "Exclude :" select the checkbox next to TA
11) Click Flash
12) Wait some time
13) When asked (the green arrow window) press Volume down and connect the USB cable to your Computer
14) Flashing starts.
15) Check the main Flashtool window. It shows a log and that tells you when flashing is done. If you don't see any red lines everything went fine.
I strongly advise to NOT do anything with your Computer, its connected devices or cables as long as flashing is in progress. Don't even plug or unplug a thumb drive. I have a USB3.0 AddOn card and when I plug in a device my native USB2.0 ports are disconnected for a millisecond. That's not a problem for thumbdrives, etc. but this can brick your phone while it gets flashed.

You're welcome and congrats to your first Xperia
I have absolutely no clue about rooting. Never did it. Current version of Flashtool may successfully root your Z3+ or it may brick it. I have absolutely no clue. What I know is that the Z3+ is officially not supported yet (but thankfully at least flashing works because Sony didn't changed anything since at least Z2).

Thanks an3k for this guide. I'm a first-time Xperia Owner so please forgive my dumb question. I wanted to flash the "FTF E6553_28.0.A.7.27_1295-7703_R6A" but there is no TA in the exlude menu. I'm on the newest Flashtool version. Can i proceed anyway or will I lose the Xperia Enhancements ?

Yeah, there are some bad changes in the new flashtool version. Instead of simply selecting TA you now have to manually select each ta file. I'll update my quick guide but here's additionally what you have to do now:
Check the list below "Content :" and look for all entries ending with .ta (eg. cust-reset.ta). If you found one, search for the same entry in the "Exclude :" list (eg. CUST-RESET) and select it. Do this for every .ta entry shown in the "Content :" list.
Normally it's only CUST-RESET and FOTA-RESET. Sometimes you'll additionally have SIMLOCK
Additionally if you want to wipe your device while flashing it to a new firmware (was the default behavior until the latest flashtool version) you also have to check all three checkboxes (APPS_LOG, CACHE, USERDATA) in to top right "Wipe :" list!

Xperia Z Android 5.1.1 - Post your impressions (now rolling!)

Xperia Blog are reporting that Android 5.1.1 Lollipop is now live. Please use this post for feedback and any issues you have.
Gonna wait for OTA and see if root is retained.
Singapore C6603 (though i'm in indonesia) -- still no update.
will looking forward for this update. hope it run really stable, as this might be the last firmware update for Xperia Z.
Kingroot doesn't work ^^
So far so good, I flashed Mena Arabic .ftf and it looks good, still needs further testing, btw king root is giving error, so no root yet
Looks like no full fix for the Stagefright exploit just yet.

System Dumps are for mod developers to use. You can actually modify it such that you can flash it as a flashable zip in TWRP.
But for simplicity sake for newcomers, I recommend you use Sony's PC Companion to update. It ensures that you don't get into much complications
Sony PC Companion: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
There is no update for HK version. No PC Companion update currently.

Hello Xperia family. I have the HK Z3+. Would it be advisable to just flash MM from US or stick to HK? I already downloaded the US FTF and not sure what .ta files to exclude?
auto-boot.ta
cust-reset.ta
fota.reset.ta
osv-restriction.ta
reset-non-secure-adb.ta
simlock.ta
My Z and Z3 only had 2 .ta files to exclude, this has 6. Im not too sure about the additional 4 .ta files. any help greatly appreciated. Thanks
