GUIDES & FAQ

Make .ftf (Stock FW) yourself

1.0 | Download and set up XperiFirm, FlashTool.

2.0 | Start Xperifirm. Choose your phone and your cda. Download the firmware to desktop. Choose "unpack automatically".

3.0 | Start FlashTool.

3.1 | Select Tools -> Bundles -> Create

3.2 | Find the folder where you downloaded the firmware. Choose it.

3.3 | The fields "Device", "Branding", and "Version" is simply for the naming of the ftf. I usually fill these out.

3.4 | "No final verification" - I never check this one.

3.3 | Add all elements from the left list to the right.

3.4 | After this click "Create".

3.5 | When done, the ftf is located under ".../FlashTool/Firmwares".
​

Make .zip (PreRooted) yourself

1.0 | Download the firmware you want to PreRoot (.ftf). Download latest PRFCreator, SuperSU and NUT Dual Recovery

flashable

for ZR

2.0 | Open PRFCreator.

2.1 | "FTF File" -> Load the firmware you want to Pre-Root. Has to be a FTF-file.

2.2 | "SuperSU Zip" -> Load the SuperSU Zip you downloaded from step 1.0

2.3 | "Recovery Zip" -> Load the flashable recovery you downloaded in step 1.0. "ZR-lockeddualrecoveryXXXXXX.flashable.zip".

2.4 | "Extra Zip" -> Here you don't need to add anything. This is only if you want to add more stuff to flash together with your Pre-Rooted firmware.

2.5 | "Include" -> My advice: Include all (Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, LTALabel. "Sign ZIP" is not needed, I never use it.

2.6 | Press "Create". The firmware will be made, and placed in the same folder as PRFCreator.exe. It will be named "flashable.zip".

3.0 | Flash it on your already rooted phone, which also already got a custom recovery installed (TWRP/CWM/PhilZ).

F.A.Q

I have rooted 4.4.x firmware. If i flash pre-rooted on top, will I loose my data?

No, you won't

I can't access Mega, please upload it somewhere else!!

India is the only ones who can't access MEGA, am I right? I'll store your firmware at google drive instead :)

The firmware I want is not listed!!

Not all regions gets the newest firmware at the same time. If your CDA is not listed with newest firmware in XperiFirm, it's simply not available yet.

Can I root .283/ .292?

Yes you can <- Follow this guide

Can I deodex .283?

Yes you can <- Flash this on top of

rooted

.283, using a custom recovery.
​

I have no earlier fw's than .283. , and Sony servers don't store firmwares this old anymore. If you got some mega links of firmwares i've not yet mirrored, i can include them in 1st post.

Enjoy! And a "thanks" is appreciated ;)
