Is the a pre-rooted system .img for FW 73 yet?
I'm trying to root my phone but I can't seem to find a pre-rooted system .img for FW 73.
I don't want to try rooting my phone any other way because I'm not familiar with other ways.
Can anybody help me with this?
Which version? Would help if you posted for what region you are looking for or what customization number

Did you already look in the firmwares and root compilation thread in the dev section for that version?

I'll be getting more and more content here as soon as I have spare time to do that.
Also I want to get more carrier roms here, and more carrier settings and stuff here aswell, other than only Vodafone.
I couldn't find the ICS version for me either.
What I did was install 2.3.7 from here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38591400/st25i_6.0.B.3.184_Vodafone PT.ftf (found on androidpt)
And then use update service to get a clean update to ICS with factory reset:

Hi
I upgraded to ics using that French ftf but now I want to get to my brands rom but I'm unable to, even by changing the build.prop to match my SI and restoring using PC companion (I did that and pcc said that the servers were down)
So, can someone please post the Vodafone PT rom?
My SI number is the 1261-8803
I need this before the end of the week if posible...
Thanks a lot
Sent from my Xperia U
Edit: Even a CWM backup from a rooted VDF Portugal ICS rom it's ok, I just repair and it's done, what I really want is my phone to be with the Vodafone PT rom...

EDIT: Updated the main post!
No problem, glad I could help!
Also, thanks for the ICS tft, it'll be useful to get back to stock with having to upgrade from GB.

Advice? Install fw .89 and debloat it :cyclops:
Any doubts or questions just PM me in PT :highfive:
You can also find help on this site androidPT is in Portuguese.
But the masters are here in xda-developers.
I don't quite recommend using the .89, I found that debloating .54 got better overall smothness than .89... it's my personal experience, others maybe got different results, I don't know.
I'm actually using a generic unbloated .184 Gingerbread now, and I'm satisfied with it except for the speaker sound...
As TugaDriver said, AndroidPT is a good forum if you're needing help... but I found there some "noobiness"... There are some guides there that are very bad explained and some procedures that are incorrect...
To start you in, if you bought a Xperia U locked to TMN it has "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No" which means you can't unlock the bootloader.
But, you can root it using the Bin4ry tool, that you can find here in XDA.
To root, you need to be with .10 Sony ICS kernel... if you already updated your phone to .54 on PC Companion, now all you have to do is flash .10 ICS Kernel, boot up the device, follow the rooting procedure, and after the root is done, reflash the .54 ICS Kernel.
Note!: This flashing of kernels is made on the Flashtool by Androxyde. You can only use flashmode. Fastboot is only for the ones that unlocked bootloader. Also, with locked bootloader, you can only flash official Sony kernels.
After you got root access, you can now install CWM For Locked Bootloaders by Atis. This is a costum recovery that you install and lets you flash roms into your phone.
After you got CWM on your phone is time to flash a rom! You can choose whatever rom you like from our forum that has "Locked Bootloader" or "LB" on the name.
All you need to know to start is this. If you have any questions you can leave them in Portuguese to me, via PM.
All the tools I mentioned in this post can be found here on XDA.
I'm in stock .54 debloated with some mods and customizations, and I'm very satisfied with it. My only dream is run cm10 in my lb device
Thanks Rock because I was thinking about unlocking my bootloader but my Xperia u was bought on TMN I thought if I asked for PIN unlock it will unlock my bootloader unfortunately it can't... hope CM10 would come to locked...
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
If you ask for SIM Unlock you need to then sent it by yourself to the Sony technical assistance here in Portugal, they'll change Bootloader Unlock Allowed from NO to YES

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.
I have searched the forums for a stock ftf file for sony Z c6603 for South Africa but can't seem to find one. There are plenty for other areas of the world but not SA. I have got the flashtool needed. Does anyone know where I can get one please? Another question is, will that be all I need? just ftf file and flashtool? I need to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean. Thank you in advance for the help.
please delete my other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/looking-stock-ftf-file-sony-z-c6603-t2944527
hello people
i bought a new z2 (D6502) and it came with 4.4.4 preinstalled
and i want to root the phone so after some searching i found out that i have to downgrade to .314
and i was wondering.would it be ok to flash a .314 D6503 frimware on my phone so i can root and flash a pre rooted .167?
because the weird thing is that i live in the middle east.my phone came with full arabic support but when searched here i couldn't find a D6502 firmware for middle east region that supports arabic .neither .314 or .167
only found such firmware for the D5603
how come then my phone fully supports arabic
thanx in advance
No you cant
The phone will still work but wifi and mobile data so its useless essentialy.
ok but then i can flash the pre rooted package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-4-4-4-23-0-1-0-167-bug-free-t2929402
and install the D6502 patch he provided
would that work
also.any idea then why then i have a 4.4.4 with full arabic support yet i cant find the ftf file in the stock firmwares thread
You should be good to flash that
And the FTF thread only has what people request usualy or need.
very well then i'll flash the D6503 .314 then flash the pre rooted package of .167 with D6502 patch
i now but i couldn't find it anywhere as well
is there a tool i can use to extract the current firmware on my device as a ftf file to keep it in case anything happened?perhaps upload it here as well so people like me in the ME can benefit from it
btw thanx alot for the help
