Hello everyone
Can someone provide a torrent, google drive, or mega.co link for the FTF of the stock Sony Xperia M2 D2306 for Fido/Rogers Canada?
In an attempt to root the device, I Flashtool'ed a Jellybean FTF and it bootlooped. I threw it into download mode, and flashed the only available D2306 FTF on here, which is for Brazil and it works fine, but even after setting the language on first boot to English/Canada or English/US, system notifications such as "USB Connected" are still in Portuguese.
If someone can tell me how to change it properly to English/Canadian or even US English, that would work as well.
Thanks!
EDIT: Bootloader locked, can't be unlocked. Can't install CM or similar. Repair device in Sony PC Companion does so successfully, but issue still persists after.
You can make it on your own with Flashtool. Select XperiFirm (last icon on the right) select M2 D2306, wait til it's downloaded. Close XperiFirm and wait Flashtool to finish creating of ftf. When done, you'll have ftf in user/.firmware folder.
Good Luck.

May be even more rooting restrictions. Well I hope not.
No, it's just a small update.
I have problem while trying to create ftf. I downloaded Swisscom CH firmware via XperiFirm, it went ok, but after making bundle with FlashTool I get ftf file with only 49.9 MB? I included everything (no .ta files), selected phone from list, and it went ok, but size is not right. What else should I do?
I have to flash another firmware, because Sony update has left my phone without service. So I am hoping that another one will fix my problem.
My phone is Generic D2303 (unbranded, SIM free).
I've downloaded the Customized MY version of the firmware, and I'm having problems creating the FTF file as well. The process stalls when the bundle is being created, on the boot_delivery.xml file. Not quite sure what to do, can anyone else bundle the firmware?
use the latest version flashtools it will do it all no need to bundle or create it will do it for you now .you should have no problems with it .i am using latest version .
Thanks, I found it. Apparently problem was in bad download (I downloaded both 4.3 and 4.4 Swisscom CH firmwares and there was the same problem), and now I tried another firmware Vodafone DE and it seems to be ok, size is around 1 GB.
And it does not solve problem with SIM card.
Work?
It might work on a D2306 if I flash D2303 firmware and upgrade?

You can test it, maybe it might work. Other way around it works. I have flashed a firmware from D2306 on my D2303, for me it works perfect!
Works, i have installed first kitkat release in mine. After that i had a D2303 model listed in system.
I have updated my M2, too. Can't notice any changes to the previous KK Version.

I want to back up my original firmware that were shipped with my phone. Instead of using sony update service or sony pc companion, can't I directly download the FTF firware of my version(20.1.B.2.15).
I have xperia E1 dual d2105, 20.1.B.2.15
I mean the customized .ftf created by flashtool from the files created by sony update service or sony pc campanion, is it same what the xperifirm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142) alone create the customized .ftf according to your region .
How and where can i find firmware according to my IMEI or product code
I want to statt from clean state like i just bought new phone from shop
I made backup from my TA too... And I'm sure that i will need it
You can't find it according to IMEI, only to customization number, you can use this to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Customation code? Where can i find mine?
Sent from my D2303 using xda-developers.com, powered by appyet.com
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and you'll get service menu, choose service info, softvare info and there you have customization version.
I managed to find my CDA code witch is 1280-9837 but cannot find any .FTF file named this. Filename should be Customized BAL 1280-9837.ftf!
Where can i find it? i really need it!!
XperiFirm and Flashtool can find this... maybe there is more programs?
Yes, there is Sony PC Companion, I don't know why you haven't tried with it yet. And reinstall you phone using PC Companion you can make .ftf that you need.
I have Pc Companion installed but it installs latest soft I want shipped soft 4.3...

How can I make ftf for it? I have software downloaded via Pc Companion ready to flash... I don't know what region fw Pc Companion is ready to flash

PC Companion should download (and flash) the ROM for your specific phone. To build a ftf from what PCC has downloaded you use Flashtool. After all I believe FTF stands for FlashTool Format.
Now I don't remember the procedure, but I've found it in google. There are few. Searching for "xperia build FTF" should be enough.
I have downloaded system update in .ftf file for xperia m2 (d2303) and I want to flash it with flashtool. And here it is my question - .ftf is version 18.3.1.C.1.15_IT and the latest update from my POLISH operator (PLAY) is 18.3.1.C.1.13. So if I flash that with .15_IT (i think that IT means ITALY) will everything be ok? Will it work so I could use my network and everything? Nothing is rooted or unlocked (I will do it later this month).
Thanks for answers
I guess it should be fine. I have flashed versions for Spain, Croatia and France and I dont live in either of those countries. Everything worked. I think the only difference is in the apps that are packaged inside. Just go ahead and try it, if I was wrong, you can always flash another version, for Poland or some other.
Thank you for answer. I'll try and hope it works
Will be fine as long as you only download the correct ftf for your device I.e. Only D2303 I started on UK ftf then changed to Customized tw as that was the only jb rom I could find. Now back on customised UK only difference is the apps that come pre-installed

Hello guys,
today i flashed the new Lolipop 5.1.1 ROM via FlashTool but i lost my imei code and the 2 SIMs not working anymore and this happened to me after flashed wrong ROM, i flashed D2303 ROM and my mobile D2302 and i can't flash D2302 ROM as i get error when i try.
, please HELP me how i can fix this problem.
D2302
Official 5.1.1
any help plz ????
Just type *#06# on the dialpad.
it's appear as null there is no imei
First of all try to repair the phone with PC Companion. I have been reading in other phones the IMEI was going and coming depending on the custom kernels one was flashing. But that shouldn't be your case. If after the phone repair it still doesn't work try to flash KK again. The IMEI is ROM related so wiping the data should have little or no effect (but one never knows. Anyway the phone repair wipes it).
Do you have locked bootloader? If so it's quite weird (and bad) that the IMEI has gone. But if you're still under warranty Sony must fix/replace it for free.

As I wrote use the official PC Companion from Sony (and not Flashtool). It has an option to repair the phones. It will download itself the last firmware for your phone and flash it (you must have at least 80% of battery). Also it may happen that you need to tell the program which is your phone (D2302 I suppose, then) so be sure not to mess up on that.

Now when i try to connect the phone with the PC Companion it appear as D2303 not D2302!! I can change it from the options? Or there any way to delete this ROM?
Are you sure it is a D2302? I'd see if there is a way to check in the Sony support site which one is your exact model using the imei number. Or in the phone box, if you still have it. I think PCC does have an option to chose the model afterward. Unfortunately I can't help you more than this, I have no experience on repairing the phone in such a situation. But be sure to use the CORRECT model. That is a must.

It's D2302 because this on the Box, Can you mention who can help me plz cus i rrally need to fix this phone
I don't have the PC version (I am on OS X) but it should work in the same way. Disconnect the phone from USB (if connected), start PCC, go to "repair phone" and there it shows a list with all Sony's phones. Select your model (D2302) and then continue. I can't check after that because it should start downloading the ROM and I've a restricted internet quota. Still it should be just a matter of following the PCC instructions.
I read somewhere that Sony put SUS in PC Companion but I never try it, so it should work as Miche1asso said. I'll try it when I'm home.

Yes, but the thing is, if your phone doesn't boot, you can press repair select phone model, connect in flash mode, flash. Just like SUS did. And it even remember the phones that were connected to PC Companion so it's easy to choose. Good work Sony.

It didn't when I connected it in flash mode. Which has been actually a bit surprising. I never used it in full, but if it is as I think that thing can soft brick a phone instead of repairing it.
What's SUS by the way? o.0
Sus is the previous version of sonys pcc

Sus = Sony Update Service and it was more like Flashtool than PC Companion
