Saw many people used ota upgrade from rooted 534 to 257. I confirmed root remained for Singapore z1. Cheer!
[Xperia Z1 General] wultan:
Anyone has .534 Generic SG for C6903?
[Xperia Z1 General] hush66:
What's the customization version of your SG firmware that allowed OTA?
[Xperia Z1 General] timberwolf60:
My friend set bought from Single. I rooted by kingo root on 534. Just upgraded through wife. I not familiar on Z1. Sorry.
[Xperia Z1 General] p3tch:
C6903_14.1.G.1.534_Three UK.ftf wont work for me, or my friend.

Edit: To clarify, I mean the mega download.
[Xperia Z1 General] chubby65:
I had same problem mate solved it by choosing import file double click the file and it starts download in the bottom pane
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
seems to be working for me :confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] p3tch:
No one I've asked can get it to work. It either doesn't start, or goes at about 40KB/s for a few seconds, stops, starts, stops, starts, etc. The earlier suggestion of importing and double clicking did the same thing. :(

Guess I'll try again tomorrow, unless there's another way to root the latest firmware?
[Xperia Z1 General] m1s6b1r0:
C6903 14.1.G.2.257 Generic SG 1276-7937_R6A is Temporary Unavailable. Can you please reuplooad it back? Thanks.. Appreciate it.

Edit : Found it on previous post. Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 General] DjeMBeY:
With all the respect, why you keep it all on MEGA only??? Android File Host is free, it's a Multi-Server hosting + 2.5GB single-file limit... :silly:

I've shared .257_Branded_Three_UK on Dev-Host and you should add my link to the OP as additional DL link IMHO ;) Same applies to other FW's ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] chubby65:
I agree mate downloading your s4 roms was very fast would be great to have more download options available
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
With respect I do not have any issues whatsoever with Mega. I paid for the pro account with my own money to host the files, now maybe I'm just thinking what the hell and don't bother updating this thread as I have no real reason to do so, but I still do. There is also a German mirror but it is not getting updated as fast as I do. You want to mirror then fine, PM me all the links and I will put them in the first post to stop all the whinging.
[Xperia Z1 General] hush66:
I actually download faster using Mega. Besides, I can't upload files of more than 512MB each on dev-host.

ianford10, we appreciate what you've been doing. This thread has been invaluable to a lot of people. :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] chubby65:
Looks like someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

He only gave you some advice that you could upload to Android host FREE OF CHARGE at no cost to you

And even offered you a mirror

You need to chill out mate :D

No disrespect intended
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Yes I am grumpy this morning.

I will add the mirrors if I get all the links, I don't want bits and bobs, I will also look into additional mirrors.
[Xperia Z1 General] chubby65:
Cheers mate didn't want to sound or come across as ungrateful

You're doing a great job

Djembey is the man to help you with all the links you need mate

He's a legend on the s4
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Then I will be very grateful for his help and I will try to be less grumpy ;)

Is it possible for SI 1276-2646.5 DE

Hi ianford10

Thanks for your sharing.:good:

Is it possible to have the ftf for SI 1276-2646.5 DE version ? in 534. :p

Thanks for your time. :cool:
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
If it's not on the first post then we need someone kind enough to create the ftf.
[Xperia Z1 General] ALF@be:
I'll wait then...

Ok, I will wait if someone can create the ftf then...:silly:

Thanks for your reply.:cool:
[Xperia Z1 General] DAddYE:
Thanks for the uberfast response. I'll try to flash the UK one. I'm still a bit reticent since looks like is the latest one to get updates and btw did anyone notice differences between each other?
[Xperia Z1 General] tyw87:
Hello, may i know which apps do u use to get these info out of ur phone? Thanks.

Edit: Found! Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Planet X:
It is already the latest firmware from Sony you have got on it. So if you experience a lot of random reboots and overheating I would say your phone has a defect and you should try a factory reset. If that doesn't solve your issues you should return it to Amazon for getting a new one.
[Xperia Z1 General] zlays:
does this C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Global fw shows NFC icon when activated just like UK one?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] sm.vassallo:
No.
[Xperia Z1 General] Exidouce:
Just got updated to the 534 firmware OTA via Vodafone in the Netherlands. Once I got the power settings right the battery went from poo to pretty amazing.
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Are you able to create the ftf?
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Bah, thought I was editing my first post.
[Xperia Z1 General] Exidouce:
It was only a ~6MB file. I don't know how to create an FTF but am willing to learn.
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
There is a link to a great guide by Apollo89 in the first post, it is in a few parts and suggest starting from part B. If you get stuck we will help you :)

[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Ok just to let you know i flashed the RU ftf, repaired the phone and created the FTF from the downloaded blobs folder in PC Companion.
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Thank you very much :)

Backup ftf

I want to save the ftf file but when it comes to finding source file i dont find anything.

I dont have this folder C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson.

I just installed pc companion and connected once till drivers where installed.

What did i miss?

THX
[Xperia Z1 General] hush66:
C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder. You have to change the settings for Explorer to show hidden folders.
[Xperia Z1 General] shimofox:
Does anyone have an unbranded 537 fw for the c6906? I got my phone from the sony store and rooted it. Then without thinking updated it and lost my root.

Or is it safe to flash the Rodgers one and then then a modified 257 for the c6906?

P.S. I live in Canada

p.p.s I use wind mobile.
[Xperia Z1 General] diegoweb:
What about C6943 model?
[Xperia Z1 General] ksoze:
I doubt that your carrier will make a difference here.

I have a fresh unbranded C6906 still on a rooted 14.1.G.1.518 firmware. Problem is that I can't seem to find a way to dump the existing firmware - I'm guessing its impossible to do so and that FTF files must be created from official SUS files?
[Xperia Z1 General] shimofox:
Well. If you find a way let me know. You have my hopes up at very least.

P.S. The reason I figured Carrier mattered is because the c6906 and c6903 have slightly different radio features. Don't want to lose the ability to use my carrier and I figured someone might just suggest I flash to the c6903 variant just assuming it would work.
[Xperia Z1 General] El Presidente81:
There's a link in the OP that tells you how to create ftf files from SEUS. You basically need to select repair, disconnect your phone then use the downloaded files to create the ftf with flashtool (there's more too it than that obviously).

You should be able to do it from any software version.

[Xperia Z1 General] ksoze:
Yep - I've already created and shared the generic C6906 FTF for the latest 257 firmware - its already on the FTF collection thread. Unfortunately what Shimofox and I would like to do is create an FTF for the older rootable firmware. So unless you know of a way to download older versions from SEUS...

[MENTION=3947458]shimofox[/MENTION] - Sorry - our two phones are essentially the same - C6906 - the C6903 varient is the import version (for Canadians that is) - which is not what the Sony store sells. The only differences between our two phones is the included "Bloatware" and that your bootloader is locked.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mighty_X:
I see the folder but inside i only have "sony" folder and no "sony ericsson".
[Xperia Z1 General] shimofox:
I imagine your bootloader would need to be locked as well due to the Sony DRM keys stored in the TA partition. I'm just kind of guessing here, but if you have an unlocked bootloader from the get go then I assume the reseller you got it from has their own custom drivers for the camera?

Either way, The REAL difference between the two is the base bands it functions on can be found below......

phonegg.com/compare/3305-3304-Sony-Xperia-Z1-C6906-vs-Sony-Xperia-Z1-C6903

You know. In case you don't know how to use google and just spit out uneducated guesses........... Look closely at the bands there a few differ.
[Xperia Z1 General] ksoze:
Err.. Sorry about the confusion - for some reason I thought you had a Rogers C6906. I was NOT referring to the C6903 vs C6906 - but with Carrier branded C6906 vs unlocked C6906

Would something bad happen if I flash a C6903 FTF on a C6906 device?
[Xperia Z1 General] desean:
C6903 is the phone model

14.1.G.2.257 is the firmware version

Xxxx-Xxxx_RxA is the customization number which indicates the region or carrier brand of the firmware

The text before the customization number is just a description of it

Yes, you will probably have a beautiful and expensive paper weight. Don't suggest you try but I believe I read before that flashing back the correct firmware will fix it (I may have remembered wrongly on this part)

[Xperia Z1 General] shimofox:
Hey! A note to everyone. You can infact flash the c6903 generic world FW to a generic c6906 root it, employ root saving methods, flash the kernal and drivers of a c6906 257 generic FW and it will allow the device to function with the proper frequencies of a c6906 although the about page will say c6903. I can verify this is working for me on my white c6906.

BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!!

Howdy all.....2 things I wanted to ask....

1) I'm on a Canadian C6906 14.1.G.1.534 on Bell and was wondering if you would like a TFT of it?

2) Seeing how I still have not received the 14.1.G.2.257 update, I was wondering if any Canadian C6906 users (preferably on Bell) have manually flashed the C6906 14.1.G.2.257 Generic? Does it add any fixes that warrant a flash?

Help for C6906

Hi, I just bought a Z1 C6906 branded with Mexico's Telcel, the problem is I'm stuck at .518 and having some known firmware issues when i try to make/receive calls through car bluetooth. I see there´s a generic .257 from Canada, my questions are:

- Will it break LTE connectivity with my carrier's bands?

- Will I be able to update through PC Companion on the future? (I'm really looking forward to KitKat)

- If it goes bad, is there any way to force back to stock firmware? I currently cant make or find a FTF from Mexico

Hope someone can help, thanks in advance

Hey mate are you using stock telstra firmware? I was thinking about flashing Au generic, but the telstra update has not rolled out to me as yet...
[Xperia Z1 General] white lie:
Yeah, 100% standard. I was going to flash the 257 myself but this came thru today. Only when I plugged it in to my PC. OTA update wouldn't find it
[Xperia Z1 General] Jhips:
Hah bonza, I'm downloading it now; Made an accoutn just to clarify, and say thanks for the tip!

I looked for an OTA update before seeing your post and nothing, but the PC update seems to be going ahead. If I was a betting man I would guess that Telstra added the numbers to make it look they they actually DID something to the update which casued a delay, even thought it was weeks behind Optus/Voda etcs rolling out of the .257; maybe that just the cynic in me however!

Hi, I have found little about Z1 C6906. Telcel Mexico version has the 14.1.G.1.518 version, I make the ftf from this branded rom, maybe some one need it.

https://mega.co.nz/#!2tAWkIAC!CKynbzUXwvjXNpv_8TH4v3VH_n5sNNK-1Iq4pcJL2lo

I test the global C6906 14.1.G.2.257 Generic CA from this post, it runs great but I can't root it, so I return to the original version. Someone know about of 14.1.G.1.534 version for C6906?
[Xperia Z1 General] feddexx69:
Using .257

Hi jacer. great that you could make the ftf file, I was also on .518 from Telcel and yesterday flashed .257, no intentions for root right now, I was reading comments from another forum that .534 runs well on C6906 from Mexico, only it's Roger's branded. Wondering if you experience signal drops from time to time? I do, like 2-3 times per day for like 10 seconds. Also camera didn´t improve much, too much noise on auto. And still the bluetooth bug when trying to make/answer calls through car bluetooth.
[Xperia Z1 General] jacer20:
Hi fedexx69, you're right about camera, although, I've never seen good quality results using auto mode with Sony´s Phones (Xperia X10, Xperia S and Xperia T). Respect to signal, I tested the .257 for three days and I couldn't see any problem.

Finally, I don't tested bluetooth, I used just to transfer some pictures with NFC and also went well.

[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
Hopefully fixes the random reboot problem that seems to be linked to Wi-Fi. .259 was shown quite soon after .257 so it must have been a bug that was spotted quite quickly.

I've been waiting for a few weeks now for this - so I hope I can get the .FTF very soon and stop my phone restarting itself 2-3 times a day.

Recommended Firmware

Guys quick question i have an unbranded Z1 and i would like to flash using one of the firmwares however is there a recommended firmware flash in regards to certain features?

For example i believe the asian ones have a safety feature with sound on camera or it did when i had my Sony Xperia Arc.

So does one country since i can pretty much flash any country/generic or global. Which is the best is what im trying to get at.

Thanks

2. what is "employ root saving methods"

3. where can I find the kernel and what "drivers" of a C6906 generic FW are?
