Hello XDA Community
I seek a small bit of help if you could please help
I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra o2
Model number C6833
Build number 14.1.B.1.510
I read here and noticed other user have managed to flash there devices to stock unbranded aka no bloatware which my phone is full of sadly
can anyone confirm if this will work as in if i were to flash this will this be the unbranded rom file i am looking for?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446525
I am very confused as i am used to Google Nexus and Samsung Galaxy devices...Sony is like new territory for me lol
guess what i am after is flashing my phone with the international unbranded rom if thats available anywhere and how do i flash it with which program etc etc
i know samsung devices used to use odin and stuff like that but thats a different ball game i guess
look forward to receiving your help
i've spend the last couple of hours trying to unlock the bootloader, root using vroot and i cant get anything working
i used vroot and got to the step of installing super su but it wouldn't update the binaries and even after reboot still wouldn't...i tried countless of times using this chinese tool but its useless unless theres a youtube video to follow
please can someone help me out i really wanna get my phone rooted and flash it with unbranded carrier free international rom
i dont think flashing unbranded firmware needs root. correct me if i wrong.

I want it without keyboard languages
I want to download it my self
The build number that came with your phone will depend on when you bought it. If you want to know the earliest KitKat build, it's 17.1.A.2.55. All available FTFs are in the link that tonypro79 provided. If you want one with just the German keyboard language, just get either the unbranded Germany (1281-4640) or Germany O2 (1281-4650).
I want know to downgrade my phone but how?
Normal flashing for does it need something else?
My has locked bootloader
Just download the firmware that you like, and use Flashtool to flash the FTF file. There are plenty of tutorials (including videos) on how to use Flashtool to flash FTF firmware files. And do make sure that you untick the "Wipe data" option if you want to keep your user data when you downgrade.

Flash stock Indian 4.4.2 ftf and recheck.
Hi,
You mentioned you are rooted , so i assume you have recovery.
Search for the tread for a prerooted LP Firmware zip and flash over your current Firmware.
I did it, and its working great.
Hi all
I have a Xperia Z2 SGP521. I downgraded to version 17.1.A.2.69
I did that with Flashtool. Afterwards i rooted with Towelroot and installed SUPERSU.
Now i have full root.
I get the message that there is an OTA update. Can i do that without loosing ROOT ?????
Can i flash the stock Lollipop ROM without loosing ROOT (from Experifirm) ?
Does someone have a firmware package (FTF) prerooted wich i can flash with flashtool. I dont want to flash recovery....because i lost all my data triing that
If you find this Q to be obsolete because it is asked a million times......neglect it.
There is so mucg info on this but not with the ezact firmwares i use or wanna use and i have been told this device can brick easy. So this Q is to be shure !!!
THNX in advance forhelping comments.

Hi all,
I wanted to flash a newer android 13 stock firmware because my Sony from a UK operator doesn't get the OTA update.
I have the firmware from XperiFirm and made the ftf with flashtool. Just before I was about to get if flashed I was reading comment saying this tool is not good anymore, but I am not 100% sure how to use the Newflasher instead.
Could someone help me on that?
I don't really want to brick my phone and if it's not a safe way to get android 13 I might just don't do it.
Cheers.
