Yes used it myself just the other week to flash customised UK firmware use the latest version and don't include anything with simlock.ta(include this and only Sony service center can ressurect it) in the ftf and keep flashtool in simple mode only and you'll be fine. As long as what you flash looks like mine is in the screenshot of flashtool you should be fine I'd recommend wiping the device too at the same time to give a better result/device performance the A firmware is for single sim xa models and the B firmware is for dual sim xa models and make sure you only flash F3111 on F3111 and so on.
33.2.A.2.93 is the latest firmware available

Downgrade E6653 from MM to LP?

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.

No Marshmallow in my XPERIA Z5

Hi,
I just got the new Xperia Z5 from Vodafone. but it has android 5.1.1, I tried using the PC and OTA but still can't find the 6.0 for my device.
Any idea what could be wrong? or is its not released for this one yet.

I tried but still not working , probably had to wait until vodafone releases the update with their bloatware.
any other way to update?
Using Xperifirm and flashtool you can download and install an official MM firmware. The process is quite simple and there are many guides on how to do it. Make sure to backup your data in pcc before update.

[SOLVED][Q] SO-01G, Flashtool, Global FW The bundle does not match the connected dev

Hello, Need your Help.
My device: Xperia Z3 (SO-01G) DOCOMO-LTE_23.5.B.0.368
Flashtool: Version 0.9.25.0 built on 17-06-2018 16:00:00
I'm trying to flash Generic Global FW to get rid of Docomo bloatware.
Unbranded Generic Global FW: D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL from '[FTF] Stock Firmware for Xperia Z3 D6602, D6603, D6606, D6653, D6616 Mega Collection by hyelton' thread.
Flashtool is giving me error: The bundle does not match the connected device.
Can you guys help, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
There's a issue on the latest version of flashtool. Try downloading the previous version of flashtool (0.9.18.6) from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
This version should allow you to flash the firmware. Revert back once you try this.

Sony XA2 Plus H4493 Firmware request 50.1.A.11.40

Hi everyone,
I requesting firmware (ftf) for Sony XA2 Plus H4493 with build number 50.1.A.11.40. I post this thread here because there is no section for XA2 Plus in XDA . And please, I already tried the firmwares from "XPERIASITE.PL" and I DON'T want their firmwares, since they containing errors. Looking for your great support! :good:
Sony Xperia XA2 Plus H4493
Build needed : 50.1.A.11.40 (any region, Hong-Kong is preferred)
Best regards, :fingers-crossed:

Thanks buddy!, appreciate it! :fingers-crossed::good:
But as I said, this firmware from XPERIASITE.PL.. I already flashed it and it caused my device in bootloop. That's why I said dont provide XPERIASITE.PL firmwares. If you have firmware files that BEFORE packing to FTF I think I can pack it correctly because bootloop may be due to incorrect creating of FTF.

I haven't rooted my device and it's still on original condition, locked BL. Just wanted to go previous stock rom. I want system.sin file of firmware of 50.1.A.11.40 Hong Kong firmware. I don't want to root or unlock BL. :victory:
You can extract sin files from FTF using sin extractor or flashtool.
I think you can't back to previous version when the BL is locked, u have security problem. That file work fine with flashtool or emma. Try to use xperia compagnon for repair your phone with New security patch.
Ps : if you have informations of relock BL for this série inform me plz !
