Hi
as I was saying in early posts.... I downgraded my M2 From Lollipop to KitKat because I did not like Lollipop at al... well but thats another history, so as I was saying I was Trying to Downgrade my M2 since A week ago but i couldnt do it, mainly because a could not get a ftf for my country,I Was thinking about using the Generic_LAM but everytime i Tried to downloaded from xperifirm i Had this message: The following Files are missing: fps.zip, proceed with caution...
So I decided to look aroung for another ftf I could use, so Looking around the forum I found the thread made by linuxct where he posted all the tfts for the m2 for JB,KK And Lollipop, so I downloaded the KitKat firmware he posted.... Firmware was Customized_US, I Used itto flash my Phone.... everything was fine until i Tried to send a message using mobile data and I noticed that the LTE and mobile data wasn working at all.
The LTE/4G Icon and the mobile data Icon does not appear on the notification bar and I cant send messages on whatsapp unless I use wifi.... So Im thinking about flashing my phone again using the generic Lam firmware but the problem is that i cant downloaded from xperifirm for the reasons I posted above...
So I was wondering if someone can help me out with this, if someone can provided with a link to download the latest Generic Lam KitKat ftf so I can flash my Phone, id be really grateful....
Thanks so much in advance
Sounds like you flashed the wrong M2 model ftf.

well, that is probably the reason... thats why Im looking for the generic firmware for Latin America, now I Could use The ftf of my provider, which is movistar Mexico, but that will mean going back as how I was before I flash my phone, with all the bloatware Movistar Installed on its firmware, which will mean that I will have less space on my device and that I Will Have to wait until they released the update, In case I wanted to install lollipop, Thats Why Im looking for the cleanest ftf out there I could find...
Any Idea where can I get that ftf?? Thanks

I just made a ftf file for Xperia L C2105 Version 15.0.A.2.17 UK.
It is 100 % STOCK with no changes or anything.
It will run on c2104 but you will have to skip baseband.
You may skip UNKNOWN in flashtool as well!
Flash via FLASHTOOL

I want the UK one for c1204
And changing it to the UK version, I'd still be able to use my Sim card right?
And is it safe? Cause I've partially rooted my phone

Quote me next time as it is easier for me to know someone asked for an answer!
Well, in theory it should work fine as the phone has everything same except the basebands. So in flashtool, untick baseband and flash. It would surely work. I have tested different basebands on Xperia U and P and they both worked fine as long as I unticked baseband in flashtool.
This is unlocked version and thus you can flash it without any sim restrictions. (Its sim free and not under any contract)
You would be unrooted after flashing this. It is safe!

Oh sorry, I will from now on
And that's good I didn't think it would be safe, but isn't there one for the c1204 itself?
Sent from my C2104

I took this firmware out of my phone which is from the UK. UK uses different basebands from USA. You can not get a C2104 that will be supported by UK. However, you may flash UK firmware on your C2104 but you will need to skip baseband in FLASHTOOL
I extracted the ftf and checked the build.prop and for some reason the region is shown as US. I suppose it is better than my factory one which was from Ukraine.
Hi everyone,
I flashed the leaked ROM I9505XXUFNA5 to my GT-I9505 LTE back in January when it came out, all went fine. However, now when I try to flash the official Android 4.4.2, say I9505XXUFNB8, via odin v3.09 the process will fail after 20 seconds and I have to flash the leaked ROM again in order to have a functioning phone. My phone is carrier free and it is not rooted.Can anyone help me please !
Thank you in advance,
MaximusDacicus

You just killed your EFS :/
You still got a chance:
you can stay with the leaked rom, but you will have to install the latest "modem" (included in rom failed to install) while you keep the romactually installed
thats the only way it can be lucky and may be EFS get back to work may be. I suppose you dont have any EFS backup, so if restoring it fails that way --> you will have to get it repaired. Will be at least 40$ i think...
There a many posts on xda about EFS, but once gone, it is gone. Feel free to read some hours about it

1. IMEI code is not messed up (it's the same as the one on on the package);
2. I still have carrier signal;
3. I can lock the sim card by pin code
Do you know other signs that would lead to the conclusion that the EFS file is broken ?

Carrier free it means that my phone it's not sim locked in any network. My phone is working fine. I just want to install an official ROM not to stay with the leaked one. I want to install the one for my country so that when I connect to samsung kies via PC the csc and pda of my phone to match up in order to receive updates or to simply for KIES to recognise my phone. The bottom line is that I find it strange that I can't flash 4.4.2 product code COA (Romania) I9505XXUFNB8.

what region is the leaked fw for?
It's from the Sammobile, It seems I can't post links.
Country more likely Germany

Thats due to its a branded rom you tried to install (COA = cosmote branded).
Here is the unbranded version you need (ROM = unbranded for your country):

Sony has released the 18.3.C.0.39 Firmware for Xperia M2 D2303, I have no changelog, but here is the FTF link to the generic malaysian version. Please mirror it if you can.

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.

That's mean I can downgrade my firmware to any D6603 ROM even my currant Customization version is: 1289-4144 (Customized DE). There is not issue with sim card if I use other firmware like .77 or .93 with different customization number 1288-5031 as any example. Right?
Thank you for your help.

That's what Robogo1982 means by any, yes.
For example my phone came with RU firmware. But I have flashed UK, German and Netherlands unbranded firmwares without a problem and SIM stays unlocked.
The only differences between them are the apps that come pre-installed

Oh! Now make sense, thanks so much guys for your help. My last question, it's possible to downgrade from Marshmallow 6.0.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 directly via FlashTool, or I need to do something before that?
Thanks again!

Should be fine to downgrade straight but make sure to wipe data as it won't boot with Marshmallow data on the phone.
Flash tool has an option for this youll see it. Just tick where it says wipe: apps log and user data
Obviously bear in mind this wipes everything so back up everything before hand.
You can try without wiping data but this causes a boot loop for me.
Hit thanks if we helped. Button is right under our comments

You Got it
Regarding: "Wipes everything so back up everything before hand."
My SIM stays unlocked and bootleoder will not changed from YES to NO. Right?
Will be able to upgrade again to LP, MM via Xperia Update or Pc Companion?
I appreciate your time and help. Thanks!

So:
Even if you flash branded firmware like T-Mobile it will stay unlocked and any sim will work. So this won't change anything there don't worry.
I mean you will lose all your apps and settings etc.
Not sure about photos so copy them across to your computer just in case. You can just make a backup with PC companion.
PC companion will detect updates based on which country firmware is on your phone. If you flash Russia you will get the updates for Russian version and when they are available to Russia.
If German then updates will be German and when Germany gets them etc
Makes sense?
So best is to flash your country version and then you get updates as they become available to your country,
but you can use any country version you want and get updates when that country gets them.

Yup, make a lot of sense for me! Thank you so much for your clear and helpful explanation. Much appreciated
hi everyone, iam looking for specific firmware, wich my device had before i flashed it.. if its possible please advise me where to get it, on original box from phone it says region is : HR, SL, HU, i cant find it anywhere, please if anyone has it or knows where to get it?
so, this phone (h4213) was flashed multiple times with firmwares from different regions, so when i use EMMA to try and restore original firmware emma only shows last 3-4 flashed firmwared nothing before that .. so I was thinking that was the way to restore it but looks like not.. or maybe heres trick to force emma to show all firmwares ever including first original one maybe?
no replys.. so I guess there's no way for me to restore factory original firmware (rom) to this device huh.. ?
well i guess not.. btw is there any software instead of xperia companion(wich doesnt work on unlocked bootloade) that i can use to reciwve sony updates?
