Hey guys, I just updated my system to 8.0 and I hate it, I'd like use 7.1.1 again. I cannot find any stock roms. Can someone help me? The 2017.december one would be the greatest.
Hi,
download FlashTool for Xperia devices.
Install the program.
Go to C:/FlashTool/drivers a install drivers (during installation you will meet with list so chose flashmode and fastboot drivers).
Run FlashTool.
Click on Black icon with XF letters.
On the left side find Xperia X and correct model number.
On the right side click on "Check all" and all firmwares will be shown.
Click on "Latest firmware" column and it will be ordered from the newest to oldest.
Click on number ending .252
On the right side click on rectangle with the number of FW.
It will pop up window so click on Download.
Firmware after that is downloaded and converted to FTF.
You can flash it.
I can help if you still don't understand.

Thank you. I got it. I've done things like this before on my Xperia Z1 but it always end up bridging my phone and it took a long time to get it work. I wanted to ask which stock ROM should i pick? There's 4 .252 roms there with different location? is that important? Will i have any signal issues? And how could i update the rom without losing any data? Like when I updated to 8.0, is there anyway all that only the system changes? imgur.com/a/YPWMA

You can update through OTA if you don't wanna lose data.
Pick CE1. It doesn't matter. There might be a small difference but I guess only the little one.

For me some notification's stuck on 1, you know the small number on the top right of the icon. Settings are confusing, maybe a bit slower system, camera laggs a bit, while playing music on t he sony music app if ii start or pause music it starts vibrating or giving sounds if slient mode isnt turned on , even while changing track. awful
I must disagree.
Camera is faster so does the OS.
If you made clean install then there must be something wrong.
What's worse is battery life but the first version of newer Android always is with downsides which might be fixed in the future.

yeah but isnt this our last official firmware?
I don't get the question mark - rhetorical question?
Sony gotta release updated FW of Oreo. It's not working like last 7.1.1.
I'm sure about not getting 8.1 but ignoring their last FW for Xperia X would be a bad move.

Hi Guys,
I've got a S2 on Tmobile UK and I wish to unlock it to enable me to use other network sims.
Im not entirely sure what to do with all these rom versions and firmware stuff etc ...
I've managed to root my phone via CWM.zip and using the SU-Busybox.zip ... now im not too sure what to do next to sim unlock. I've tried all the sim unlock programs from the market but they dont seem to work.
I dont want to install all these flashy things and wish to keep everything stock if possible.
Currently im using ICS 4.04
PDA : I9100BVLPH
PHONE : I9100BVLPE

Galaxy S Unlock - free - dont work
Galaxy sim unlock - this one havent tried needs to pay .... ideally want it done free
This is the one I used when I first got my device and it worked. (Free)

This one is newer and more compatible but will cost small fee of about £1.60 to unlock device.

Do these work on the ICS I read they only work for gingerbread ?
would sim unlocking have any effect updating via kies again when Jelly bean gets released ?
Thank you
I was able to get the phone unlocked using the following app.
See the following Link and download the .apk file and install it on your device. But make sure you have rooted phone.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34187077&postcount=685
After you install it then you run it and there is a small gray bar at the bottom you just press that phone unlocked and you restart the device. Everything works fine. It worked for me I hope it works for you as well. Even if u have tried the same app before i suggest you still try the one on that link.

The second one works on GB/ICS/JB. I can confirm it works on JB as I recently used it after installing latest leaked JB sammy rom as that was sim locked.

Unlocking has got nothing to do with updates, firmware does.
If kies sees you're rooted, might play hardball with your device.
Why people keep updating via kies? What if power goes off?
And who waits for branded updates to roll out????????????
I'm kidding, it's your right to do so.

FTF? Can anyone plz upload it

Strange. Am in India, on a locally bought XZU. But not seeing the update in Sony PC Companion.
Hoping someone uploads a FTF though.
Also, will changing the build.prop to some other region trigger the update?

Changed the CDA to 1275-9426 (Italy), but that did not lead to an update. Maybe it is currently available only for 6833 devices? Wondering what will happen if I replace all instances of C6802 to C6833 in the build.prop...

Yes, that will be the sanest thing to do.
Well, I did go ahead and change all instances of C6802 to C6833 in build.prop. Saved the file, and rebooted.
The good news - the phone boots up and works just fine.
The bad news - the phone still shows up as C6802 in PC Companion, and does not trigger any update to 4.4.4.
Am not sure where exactly it is picking up the model number from.
I locked bootloader and updated without any problem.

BTW, I went through the settings and it appears that nothing is changed...

EDIT: I found something, but it's really not that important right now. I found out that clicking into the theme you want to apply it actually shows what the theme is going to change once applied. Next step would be to let us change every single aspect to mix and match several themes...

I did the flashtool route of upgrading to 5.1.1 as I have in the past using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
It goes through optimizing apps, then reboots, and repeats this process. I can get into the regular recovery menu with the options to reboots and factory reset by holding volume down, but can't seem to get into TWRP from ZXDualRecovery so I can restore the backup that I made.
Any help would be appreciated. Just want my tablet back up and running.

Care to link me?I can't find it anywhere. My tablet won't pull it and the Verizon update software says it's up to date.
May be best to wait. That update borked my tablet, but Xperifirm is software that you use to download it.
I've used xperitool,tried to ota,used verizon/Sony upgrade tool, got the same email from Sony, and Googled the hell out of this with no results. I'm convinced there is no 5.1.1 update for this tablet and it was confused with the 5.0.2 update going from verizon internal testing to official ota. The z3 phone and this tablet shared the build name. I don't believe it. With that in mind I think you flashed phone firmware and that's why you are bootlooping.

OK if your using flashtool to to update then it's likely you are overwriting the custom recovery with the stock one from the ftf so you should flash twrp again after flashing a ota then I would recommend flashing a prerooted firmware from the general section

Did this file end up working for you? I was on the 5.1.1 and then rooted and later ended up bricking my tablet...the only ftf file I can find is the 5.0.2 internal version and the 4.4.4 kit kat. I've tried making ftf files but whatever I get off xperifirm never shows in the available files box when I'm trying to decrypt. Do you by chance have a stock official 5.1.1 ftf file that is ready to flash? I'm going insane here lol I wish I could make my own files
Yes, and for the user above your post that I shared it for.

Hi Guys,
I'm living in Ireland. I heard that honor have started rolling out the update for the 5x to marshmallow. Some people seem to be able to get it through the hi-care app. When I check for an update using the app nothing shows up. On honor's twitter they say roll-out should take around 2 weeks to complete. Just wondering if anyone else hasn't received the update yet?
I don't mind waiting but as people in the uk can get the update right now I'm worried that the update may not be available in my country OTA.
Is there a way to manually flash the update etc.
Also how is it running for you in comparison to lolipop
P.S I have the KIW-L21 model
Thanks
Did u do the B140 update?

I think u have the middle east version as my mobile and its not arrived marshmallow update yet
EDIT 2 : this update should theoretically work on all "Global Europe" devices and I don't think it will with Middle East KIW-L21 (didn't even know there was a specific version for it till a few days ago... ^^).

Do you mind me asking where you bought your phone? I got mine from amazon uk and I have a feeling its not a uk version the build number on mine is KIW-L21C185B140. Update is failing for me. Pretty sure its because of the region code.

Hello everyone.
I bought a japanese Xperia 1 III (Softbank version A101SO) with Android 12 and I've searched for the 13 update but it turns out Softbank didn't release Android 13 on this phone yet.
So I decided to flash the KDDI version to it (with newflasher) and it worked.
But the problem is I got a very weak signal, a battery drain and the 4G rarely appears (always H or H+)
I tried to come back to the old original firmware but the phone won't boot after the flashing process (rollback protection)
The phone has a locked bootloader and it says it can't be unlocked so I wonder if you have a solution for me because I lost all hope right know.
If I can just go back to its original firmware (Android 12 from Softbank) that's all that I need right know.
Thak you for your answers.
Unless you unlock your bootloader, otherwise, you cannot go back to Android 12 again. If your phone's config name 'Bootloader unlock allow' is No, then you have to stick around with KDDI Android 13 fw.

Thanks for your reply! I'll have to stick with it then...
But can I flash the Softbank modem to it to have a better signal coverage?
I think cross flashing is okay but you need to do some search to make sure you flash all needed files to prevent boot loop.

crossflashing works but the problem is the Signal and the battery drain.
is there a way to flash other modem files to the phone?
Try newflasher, you can search the forum for the guide.

Newflasher is the tool to flash the roms.
I know how to use it since I've crossflashed my Xperia 1 III with another region FW using it.
My question is: is there a way to flash different modem files (and other important files) to the phone with a different region rom to fix the signal and battery drain issues?

Yes just keep the .Sin files that you fish to flash and remove the rest from the rom folder. And make sure when prompted by Newflasher to "keep user data".

ohh! thanks for your tip!
I want to ask you:
do you know the name of the modem files that control the network?

So I've successfully flashed the modem sin file but there's a problem with the camera.
It refuses to launch and the Telephoto lenses are moving all the time (with the noise of the lens moving).
But the signal is back at 4G.

I guess flashing it with other modem sin files don't resolve the issue.
I need to wait for the Softbank Android 13 (if it will be released one day...)
Thanks to you and people on this post, I've been able to flash fw 61.1.E.5.215 into my A101SO and fix mobile connection and camera by flash .sin file from A101SO android 12 fw. If you still struggle with the camera, let me know. I've seen improvement with battery life and mobile signal, the only let down is netflix wont install from playstore nor playback at full fidelity if I install with apk

After I succesfully flashed a bootable fw (XQ-BC72_Customized SEA_61.2.A.0.447 for me), I flash these .sin files from A101SO_SoftBank JP_61.1.E.5.215 right after. The camera problem only rise if you also flash modem_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.sin

Hi @Bachtran24 if i understood you correctly then you have installed a Dual XQ-BC72 to your single SIM A101so version and then flashed the modem files and it worked for you?.
Can you please exactly tell which modem files you flashed? in the ROM folder there are 3 modem files.sin.
When you flashed modem.sin filers which ROM folder did you use BC-72 or A101so.
I have the same issues i have updated to global Dual ROM and now my A101so is not getting any signals. looking for your help
