4.3 15.4.A.0.23 for C1904 indian version

I am an absolute newbie to this. So please bear with me...

Please suggest the ftf file to flash my Xperia M c1904 with android 4.3 stock 15.4.A.0.23. I found many version but most of them are for C1905. But as per gsmarena there are differences in the network frequencies between both models. So what should I do. Will flashing the C1905 firmware have any effects. Please clarify
[Sony Xperia M] shiromau:
there is no problem if u flash c1905 firmware on your c1904...

flash No. 14 firmware .Xperia M Single C1905 [15.4.A.0.23] Global Firmware [Android v 4.3]

its divided in to parts so its easy to download... after downloading all four parts select them together and extract them...u will get one ftf file which you can flash with flashtool... :good:
[Sony Xperia M] the green bot:
can i flash 4.2.2 back onto my xperia m dual c2005 currently running 4.3 without any problems. will i have to wipe all of my data?
[Sony Xperia M] shiromau:
yes you can rollback to your 4.2.2... just download your desired firmware and follow the tutorial...data wipe will be optional bt i recommand to wipe data it will be better coz your downgrading your system...
[Sony Xperia M] the green bot:
Thanks alot. Also, does this require any sort of minimum free space on the Internal memory and battery status? Which of the listed firmwares do i flash. Im using an indian device
[Sony Xperia M] shiromau:
no... u dun need to freeup your internal memory for flashing firmware...just flash firmware... it will automatically freeup your internal memory... n abt battery... for safety charge ua phone upto 50%...flash any global firmware...it will be fine...
[Sony Xperia M] solonxpl:
Thanks for the tutorial bro but please you have to tell that the flash tool runs on windows 32 bit only because the drives won't install except on 32 bit system not 64 bit of windows
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
I installed Android 4.3 on a Locked BL with root access using flashtool on Win7 64bit....
[Sony Xperia M] solonxpl:
Then you must have used test mode on for windows right ??
[Sony Xperia M] shiromau:
no problem with flashtool buddy... m using it on windows 7 ultimate 64bit... it works fineee...
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
Yes, I'm using Test Mode (Bespoke Nvidia GPU drivers for Alienware M11xR1)

I do note I am using the 32bit Flashtool binary if I look at the desktop shortcut icon, BUT I did manually use the 64bit version to flash a kernel on an Xperia X10i as a test and that worked fine.

When I first installed Flashtool (both 32bit and 64bit) on my Alienware M11xR1 it wouldn't run at all.

The Flashtool binary would just freeze when accessed.

This continued for about a year, then one day... it all just started working.. I have no idea what changed... spooky.

I would suggest, if other people 'truely' are using Flashtool 64bit Program Files/Program Files(x86) and do not have Test Mode enabled.. then it's not the problem.

From CM11 back to stock ROM

Can I use this method on my Xperia M with CM11 and cwm recovery on it to flash back stock ROM or this method is only for phones that already have stock installed and only need to update stock firmware.

I want to go back from CyanogenMod to stock ROM but I don't know how to do it safely. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
yes you can use this method to revert to stock rom, and this is totally safe :D, but you can't get to recovery mode because in stock rom doesn't contain any recovery mode you must install any custom kernel that support custom recovery, and for updated firmware you need to in locked bootloader condition if you want to try update via OTA or pc companion but if you try update with flash .ftf fle you don't need too lock your bootloader :o ok
[Sony Xperia M] drimena:
OK, but I read somewhere that first I need to flash stock kernel and only after that I can flash stock ROM. If I flash a stock ROM on Cyanogenmod kernel I would brick my phone. Is this true? It sounds logical to me. I haven't been able to fully understand your answer but I just want to point out that I don't need any custom recovery or even unlocked bootloader after reverting to stock. Full factory, unrooted, locked bootloader without custom recovery is perfectly good for me.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help!
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
if you want to flash stock rom and you want flash kernel from cyanogenmod i think it should work. have try and for want revert to stock rom try to flash .ftf file with flashtool and after your phone is boot up try to lock your bootloader. after completely lock you can try to re install your os with pc companion and do a full wipe. after complete your phone is boot up with full factory. have try :D
[Sony Xperia M] drimena:
Thanks again Nicklas, I understand you. I could try what you propose but this is my only phone and if I brick it I'm doomed because I don't have money to buy another so I must be absolutely sure in what I'm doing. Another thing that I read somewhere is that the kernel for Cyanogenmod is 4.4 KitKat but for stock ROM is 4.3 JellyBean so this difference could also lead to incompatibility and ultimately to bricked phone.

There must be someone who had the exact same problem...
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
yap i understand your problem, sorry if push you :), this cwm recovery for 4.3 i have for single sim http://www.mediafire.com/download/2js49cuff4xpq7c/4.3-boot.img and this for dual sim http://www.mediafire.com/download/3pjrr5vxww8qlsk/4.3-xmd-boot.img, this all cwm for 4.3, yaa i only search this and if you want try just try. but i suggest you to think it before try this ok ;)

:) I think I'll try it sooner or later... Thank you

[Sony Xperia M] Sidhu05:
Hi I'm new to flashing Sony mobiles I need a clarification,

I'm using xperia m c1904 model.

After updating to 4.3 (15.4.A.1.9) through PC companion, the camera quality reduced the images are blurry in day light itself and lot of noise are there in the image..

so i again used the ("repair") option in PC companion even then also the same problem occurred. (am i the only one facing this problem or any of you guys also having this problem)

so I'm thinking of downgrading back to 4.2 or 4.1.

And my questions are:

1. Do i have to unlock boot-loader to flash stock roms?

2.i'm using windows 8 and i"ve installed flashtool(0.9.19.0) and also installed flashtool, flashboot, and commom adb xperia m drivers.

but ("Firmwares") Folder is not present in the flashtool directory.. what should i do now ? where should i place the ftf file?

3. I've also tried to flash this ROM("C1904_15.1.C.2.8_INDIA.ftf) using flashtool. everything goes well till it asks for to connect mobile in flashmode once i did that it just shows "enable USB debugging mode and unknown sources " even though i already did that it still shows like that..?? why?

Thank you for your time and patience..:):good::good:
[Sony Xperia M] Biplob_Biswas:
Did you found your firmware?

Hello,

Where you put your. Ftf file? In new flash tool version as I know you can't find firmware folder in c\Flashtool.. It is showing in a hidden folder in c\ drive. If you download from Flashtool source of firmware, it will be automatically stored in the hidden file. Just during downloading you have option for choose "unpack automatically ". After downloading complete you are ready to go..

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia M] Sidhu05:
That was my question too.. there was no firmware folder in C:\Flashtool but in some threads about how to flash using flashtool.

The instructions were as "copy the downloaded firmware to C:\Flashtool\Firmware" if the firmware folder is not present

so in that case can i select the directory of where ive downloaded the firmware, will it cause any problem??

and also do i have to unlock bootloader to flash stock roms ?
[Sony Xperia M] Biplob_Biswas:
Hi sidhu..

Brother if you don't have bootloader unlocked, why didn't you have tried to update by pc companion!! anyway that's your choice. :cowboy:

About your question,no you can't use the normal download folder from pc as flashtool 's working environment as I know..

Now where you found the folder I'm telling you.

Go to C drive.. Then click "user" folder in C drive, then you will find your "username" folder by your name..click on that. There you will find". Flashtool" folder. Click on that. You will find 4 folders and some files.. Just click the folder named "firmwares". Here you can put your. ftf file by copy paste from your download folder.. Ignore other folders in firmware folder..because you are already inside firmware folder of flashtool.. After copy. ftf file,start flashtool and click flashmode.. Check if your firmware now showing... Then you are ready to go...

Full path. computer > C \Users"your administrator name folder"\.flashtool \Firmwares\.ftf file.. I'm using windows 7.

If anything you need to clear feel free to reply...:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M] Sidhu05:
Hi Bro,

Ive updated to 4.3(15.4.A.1.9) usng pc companion only after updating to 4.3 the camera clarity is reduced so now i want to downgrade d version

Yup.

So you found your firmware folder under flashtool?? Just put the. Ftf there what you have downloaded.

Did you choose your model from the list provided by flashtool drivers ?

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

What is the size of your firmware ? Try another generic India firmware for your phone model. As I saw latest version of flash tool provided firmwares too. Try download firmware from them. Its safe and easy. Then try again to flash with new firmware. And in flashing wipe everything..

Hope its helped.
