Hi,
I want to flash a stock FW because I have the "network service version" (Vodafone).
I read some guides but I'm still confused.
Please, just tell me what I have to do to flash and where can I donwload the latest stock FW.
Sorry for the "newbie" questions but I'm really lost in here.
Thank you!

Which phone do you have?
Download Flashtool and install it
Download the firmware (search it, I can give you the link only after that you tell me which phone do you have)
Copy the downloaded firmware to C:\Flashtool\Firmwares
Open Flashtool
Click ϟ
Select Flashmode
Select downloaded firmware
Turn off the phone
When prompted connect the phone in Flashmode (USB + Vol down)
Wait
When it have ended, disconnect your phone
Start phone
Enjoy and give me thanks! :victory:
I think that you can flash it also on a locked bootloader but I'm not sure.
My bad, Sony Xperia J
Related to the bootloader: it's more secure if I unlock it first?
Thank you very much!

I think that you can flash firmware without unlocked bootloader.
Here you are the link: 11.0.A.7.5 or 11.2.A.0.21 or 11.2.A.0.31 (via)
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you very much!
Any important diference between versions?

Okay.
Again, thank you very much!

(Already "hitted" thanks)
So, I'm flashing FW but the FlashTool is stuck at "Checking header". Fix?
(I installed the drivers and using the last FW version).

Get the UnlockRoot. There's a free version to download.
Uncheck the toolbars in the install.
Worked in my Xperia J with 11.0.A.7.5 firmware without downgrade.
thanks bro

Yes, in the first times it happened to me aswell. I changed some security policies in my router and it downloaded with no problems.
Check you firewall and connection properties.
Hi guys I currently have a Z3 D6653 with firmware of 23.1.A.0.726 Taiwan (all original, no history of flashing)
I am so disappointed with the update cause I don't have a CLOSE ALL button and MESSAGING crashes whenever I'm on ULTRA STAMINA mode.
I want to flash my phone back to kitkat and re-update it again HOPING that I'll be able to get those 2 functions working.
Please take note that I did a factory reset after and nothing happened
So upon researching I came across XperiFirm. I found out that it has all the latest firmware. I'm planning to install Customized PH D6653 23.1.A.0.726.
Now here are my questions before I do so:
1. Is it better if I downgrade/flash my phone to kitkat first then just do a system upgrade?
2. If I choose to upgrade the latest LOLLIPOP firmware from XperiFirm, what are the chances that I'll be getting the 2 functions I want? or Is it a good idea to do so?
I'm not sure if my questions have already been asked/answered before.
It would great if you could direct me to an existing thread with such issues.
I'm a noob so please be patient! Haha
Thanks in advance for the help
uppppp please

Will that be better than not downgrading kitkat first?

Hello everyone! Seems we're going to get root soon on locked bootloader in lollipop, so we can backup the TA partition before unlocking. The question is, can we downgrade from MM to LP without unlocking the bootloader?
You know how google, do you? You can, download the Firmware and flash it via Flashtool.

Yes, I did google. Saw a couple of post about the Z5P, but I'm comming from motorola and they are a little bit special when it comes to downgrade, because of the bootloader. So I want to be sure because I have almost zero exprecience with sony.
Anyway, no need to be rude. Thanks!
You can downgrade with no problems bootloader locked or not as the above poster said flashtool and xperifirm is your friend. I don't have access to links atm

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. When I bought my Z5 from Vodafone UK, it was running Lollipop 5.1.1 and ran all the apps I wanted flawlessly. Since the update to Marshmallow, ACR and NetVu ObserVer now do not, the developer of ACR cannot work around this so I need to back date the firmware. I have downloaded XperiFirm and Flashtool but can only find 32.0.A.6.200 for EE. I would have preferred the stock Vodafone firmware, but will the EE one do?
any firmware will do as long as those apps work. some branded firmwares have differnt splash screens. thats pretty much the only difference
Thanks for your reply, I'm not bothered about any splash screen but something I noticed is a file named simlock. As EE lock their phones to their network only I take it this file needs omitting?
Regards, John.
I now have a phone that had 12.5.3 installed from the start.
Is it safe to install the 12.0.4.0 firmware on this phone?
Yes, do it carefully, following all the steps. If it is running stock MiUi also read about Xiaomi's fallback protection or else your phone may get bricked.
