I downloaded it and flashed it over the FTF uploaded by the OP (unbraded canada 4.3) and everything is working fine so far. Again, thank you.

:good:
[Xperia Z1 General] paullu:
I have c6903 can I flash this?
[Xperia Z1 General] eltoffer:
i want to be on 4.3 but ROOTED, is there any way to do so, considering .534 doesnt gets OTA nor a generic .5xx firwmare availabe
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
As this is a C6906 FTF you could try flashing it under your own risk, anyways everything posted in these forums are under that disclaimer. Just make sure, you should make a FTF of your original firm and backup all your infomation before procceding, in case something goes wrong you can redo back to how the device was.

C6906

note que la stock de orange maneja bien las APPs incluso las transiciones en estar jugando y salir al escritorio son mas rápida que la 290 canadiense.

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

instale al C6906 la C6903_14.2.A.0.290 y va mucho mejor! la estoy probando pero hasta ahora la velocidad es mucho mayor!
[Xperia Z1 General] mpkossen:
I think that if you root your phone on .534 and only use OTA updates from there, the root stays. I can confirm this for .257.

Can anyone else confirm that root stays when coming from a rooted .257 and using the .290 OTA update?
[Xperia Z1 General] magnusum:
Gracias

Gracias
[Xperia Z1 General] eltoffer:
How to get the ota? What .5XX version allows update to .257 from ota? I can't get the update for ota only by pc
[Xperia Z1 General] fjoel:
Gracias, y la .534 donde podria conseguirla de Orange Dominicana?

534, where can i download.
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
Habria que esperar a alguien que la proporcione... O Buscar un aparto nuevo con esa version y hacer el FTF.
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
290 OTA will lose root.
[Xperia Z1 General] ffondeur:
I've flashed many sony phones since im an xperia user, but i've never downgraded any. Does it have more risk? Does it needs to be rooted?

I'm thinking on going from .290 Unbranded CA to .257 Orange DO to then update via SUS to the .290 Orange DO

I would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 General] jcmordan:
I wash downgrade mine from. 290 CA to 254 rogers. Everything work on.

There's not anything worry about.
[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
I tested the unbranded CA .290 and then flashed back to Orange DO .257 before the .290 update from Orange DO came out, I didn't like all the bloatware on the unbranded CA .290. I had not a single problem doing the downgrade, so you could also do the same. Hope it helps
[Xperia Z1 General] tase25:
Hi, can I still root my phone after this?
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
Only if you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 General] uherrera:
Alguien ha intendado instalar el FTF "C6906 14.1.G.1.534 Rogers CA" el mega-thread con el proposito de rootear el aparato?

No me gusta la idea de utilizar ese porque tiene el brand de Rogers. Tampoco sé si lo han actualizado a 4.3.

-----------------------------------

Has anyone tried to install the "C6906 14.1.G.1.534 Rogers CA" FTF from the mega-thread in order to root this device?

I don't like the idea of using that one since it's branded. I don't know if it has been upgraded to 4.3 either.

edit: added that this was meant in order to root my device.
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
I almost installed it (to go the route of a custom ROM), but instead decided to sit it out. I was told that branding essential pans out to be bloatware that can be removed with root, but I don't know first hand. If you're going to use it to get root and ultimately flash something else, it matters very little.
[Xperia Z1 General] andyid:
No. I used the unbranded version not rogers as it will have the rogers bloatware.

After I flashed the unbranded one. I did the ota update and got 4.3.

Runs great since!
[Xperia Z1 General] uherrera:
Oh, sorry, was talking about rooting. I forgot to include it in my post.
[Xperia Z1 General] andyid:
Oh Ok. No I rooted on bell rom 4.2 but now unrooted
[Xperia Z1 General] franziro:
I'm going to respond myself. I download the 534 Canada version, them I rooted, them I install this rom using the fresh installation guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463675

Botton line: I'm now using the 4.3 jb with FULL root access and locked bootloader. The only weird thing is that my phone says that is the C6903 instead of C6906 but that's not really a problem, everything is working as expected but I haven't tested LTE (and probably won't because orange doesn't have LTE for smartphones in DR).

Enviado desde mi C6903 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 General] uherrera:
Orange DO may be getting LTE sometime this year, given that they fused with Tricom. Did you try this rom Pure Stock v1.1? It seems to be better fit for the C6906.
[Xperia Z1 General] originalteepo:
still waiting for 4.3

I'm new at all this stuff...all I know is that I'm still on 4.2.2 android and have a c6906...I believe it is unbranded generic but have no clue how to check...I'm on virgin mobile in Canada. PC companion and SUS both say I have the latest update...which isn't true...what the hellndoni have to do to update to the latest version of android with their official update???? so annoying
[Xperia Z1 General] franziro:
Right now, hit the update button should be enough or via Pc companion. It's weird that still doesn't show up.

Enviado desde mi C6903 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 General] raginginferno:
Did you buy the Z1 (at full price $700 witout contract) from the Sony store or on contract with Virgin/Bell? If it came from Sony full price then it would be unbranded. If it came from Virgin/Bell it would be branded and you are probably waiting for Virgin/Bell to release the OTA update.
[Xperia Z1 General] originalteepo:
ya its unbranded then...I can take this phone to any carrier...I originally had it on wind...then switched to virgin. when I first got it there was a message to plug in my phone to PC companion and update it to the 257 build...but now its been over a month that the 4.3 build was released...nothing still...I check daily on PC companion and SUS...I'm really frustrated at all this..
[Xperia Z1 General] andyid:
That's odd.

I flashed an unbranded version of the Canadian 4.2.2 as I was bell branded and did not want to wait.

After flashing unbranded, I check ota and the update to 4.3 was there!
[Xperia Z1 General] abualjooj:
No Update for my unbranded 4.3 yet

I'm still waiting for the 4.3 update and I have the unbranded canadian z1 (C6909).

Any thoughts?
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
C6909 isn't a real model number.

I have an ex-Telus C6906 on AT&T and got the OTA weeks ago. Check the Sony Update Service.
[Xperia Z1 General] sergiodbg:
first time flashing

hi

i'm new in xperia devices so i had a few questions about the update:

1. i had a 14.1.g.2.257 unrooted and locked bootloader from claro colombia if i want to update to 4.3 i have to be root?

2. if i flash the 257 unbranded i can update with sony update software to get 4.3?

3. to flash the 257 unbranded only need the flashtool or more programs ?
[Xperia Z1 General] zimbashka:
You don't need root or unlocked bootloader.

You can use official PC Companion or Sony Update Service for simple upgrade to 4.3 Jelly Bean.

If you have questions better read more info on xperia Z1 thread before making any decisions.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hobbes2099:
I Flashed this file when it first became available.

Has anyone else had any problems after flashing it?

My phone loses signal a couple times a week.

Even though it's generic, it says Canada/Generic, is there a possibility that this file affected the baseband for my Telcel phone for Mexico's frequency?
[Xperia Z1 General] andyid:
I have not had any issues and using this exact rom. Very strong signal and only lose signal in my work place bathroom!

Not sure if it changes the radio on the phone but could be a possibility.

Anyone can chime in on this?
[Xperia Z1 General] Hobbes2099:
Any follow up on andyid 's comment would be greatly appreciated. Should I have unticked anything during Flashtool setup?
[HTC Sensation] Wesam-syria:
hi every one

i have custmer forgot the drow password of hes XE and he wants to update the rom :rolleyes:

so when i try to upgrade it i went to bootloader and it is 1.18 locked :mad:

and same thing when i do recocory

i did alot of search but all needed to unlock the bootloader>> i have to active USB Debugging option and i cant becuz the device it locked

any help plz:confused:
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
If you want to unlock the hboot go to htcdev and unlock it, it will factory reset in the process. But if you have usb debugging then I recommend running revolutionary and gaining s-off, then flash a custom recovery upgrade to any version available.
[HTC Sensation] Wesam-syria:
thanks bro

but i didnt understnad how to unlock it ? how to go to htcdev?

im doing search for revolutionary and gaining s-off..

thanks
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
really strange that you power button isn't working on htcdev site:confused:

nvm try the revolutionary.io method since you are on gb hboot
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
I think when you unlocking with htcdev yes is volume up and no volume down try it
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeah but you are choosing with power button
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
Aham yeah you are right, I think I remember someone else was having this isue...but don't know does (or how) he fixed this...
[HTC Sensation] Wesam-syria:

i am on the 30/ month walmart plan w/ 5 gb data and unlimited text w/ 100 minutes voice. Does using google voice eat into my minutes? im having a hard time telling. it shouldnt right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
VOIP uses data, so if you are on 4g (or 3g, or edge or whatever data signal you are getting), it will be part of the 5 gb you get. it will not count towards your cell minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] teerout:
ill have to try and track my minutes more carefully....
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
https://support.google.com/voice/answer/115063?hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
Just make sure when a wireless signal is available, you are using wireless and not data. By limiting my surfing to times I am connected to a router, I think my data usage per month is less than 2 GB and I use my phone all the time. Where the data gets used a lot is with maps/GPS and sending pics and stuff. Shut off GPS when you don't need it and stay away from sending lots of photos, and you should be fine. I don't know, but I don't think that VOIP uses a huge amount of data. When you are streaming things over the web, what takes bandwidth is the video, not the audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] teerout:
thanks Meek. that answers it. so using google voice to make domestic calls is simply....silly?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
Looks like I was wrong. Google Voice isn't really VOIP, so it uses your minutes. My bad. That will teach me to try to answer a question...

if using minutes is of concern, get a VOIP app on your phone (I use Skype, but VOIP has been integrated into some of the roms for our phone, I believe). Then, you won't use minutes when you call out.

This rom is perfect, beauty and fast... Lovin it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deepakpunjabi:
In simple words >> Fast,Beautiful,well crafted,Superb themed

the rom does a good job functionality wise.it opens app fast and dosent have crap things,or you can choose for apps in aroma.

Some minor problems though

wifi disconnects now and then,i know its commom problem in ics roms,but can u optimise it more?

also willing to have a rom from you.which does not necessarily have all the features from sony but is great functionality wise.which eliminates good of sony but neglects laggy apps from sony.something fast stable good themed good featured and also different from other roms:good:

for now i think this rom is very good nd if anyone willing to install it just do it!!! i have shifted form UHD5.1 but i think this rom is more nice
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deepakpunjabi:
Ram management is good!

No greenify or ram booster or anything like that installed.

also having 3-4 chat apps.still every app opens quickly.

will update this post after like 10-20 days if it changes.for nw (2 days) it works very good
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kirbygonzalo:
Performance

I'm downloading now the rom to try, but i would like to ask what is the best kernel i would use for the best performance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dontbelive:
allianz kernel v1.5 (full version, cause u have more ram like 20 mb cause of patches from fxp) battery is draining a little bit faster than normal ut its okay :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kirbygonzalo:
wifi not working.. any solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
If your kernel is having built in WiFi modules like lupus, then in WiFi hang state, you just need two three reboots
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dontbelive:
I dont remember but have u flashed the wifi modules ? Its very long ago since i used my neo, i have a xperia P now,, there must be wifi modules other look on other kern threads and fladh wifi modules, (done.that once and it works ;) )

EDIT: go to system/etc/wifi or system/lib and delete modules folder then.reflash the kernel,it autoinstalls the modules.

I dont really remember where it is located u have to look sry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kirbygonzalo:
i did what you told me, but nothing happens still wifi not working....

i try to restart 2, 3, up to 6 times but still not working...

any solutions?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Saqib Nazm:
Use Vengeance/Lupus kernel. For vengeance you need to flash wifi modules, for Lupus you need to reboot 2/3 times
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Rajeev:
Thanks.. I Pressed The Thanks Button Too..

New ROM is awsom. Working fine in ma friend's Xperia Neo. Great Work Bro,,, :good::good:

Using Vengence Kernel. Wifi Working Without Any Problem,,,

Thanks Again..

Only Problem With No Frills CPU Controller. Dont know what happened.. Some times its showing wrong Scheduler and Gov.. Any Advice .. ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Saqib Nazm:
Thanks for the feedback, about cpu control you can choose to apply on boot always, that could solve the problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kirbygonzalo:
thanks a lot bro. you're the man! i will try this rom and i will check if this is the rom i need to....

Important Notes:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Is the original Nexus 5 Bumper Case in the Google Store worth the steep price tag? Alternately I am looking at ordering a Spigen, either the Air Cushion one or the Metal Slate one. I've read some of the reviews for both the Spigens, and while most reviews are favorable, I am a bit concerned that some people report a 'loose' fit.

(if this is in the wrong sub forum, I apologize... I was going to post this in the "Accessories" forum first but was told that questions go in this forum)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No it's not, but it's OEM so I bought it...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devilicus:
Personally I enjoy the OEM bumper case, but I do agree it's overpriced (pretty much all OEM accessories, especially Google ones, are); I also have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, and in my opinion, there's a huge difference in quality. I really didn't care for the Ultra Hybrid case, nor for the Neo Hybrid which I ended up returning (made phone way too bulky and buttons too easily pressed). However, I wouldn't say that the OEM bumper is the best case out there. I also tried out the Ringke Fusion case that's very similar to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, but is less bulky and works better (I think its $9.99). Hope that helps. I buy a lot of cases lol so I've checked out a lot of them already. My favorites are the Bumper Case and the LG Quickcover case (also absurdly overpriced, but a very good case). I used to really enjoy Spigen's cases, but their quality has begun to slip in my opinion
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I cant speak for the oem case from the play store, I use a Spigeon Slim armor case and love it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
FYI for anyone with the same question whether the case is worth it.

The case is a total joke. 35USD for a piece of hard plastic that offers little to no protection and makes the buttons hard to press while adding a lot of bulk/ It's on overpriced piece of junk.

Seriously, what was Google thinking?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Piero88:
So basically when I updated to 4.4.2 suddenly I cannot see anymore the Skype icon when active on the top-left corner.
