Hello Everyone. I have a device that came with a Hong Kong FW. (F8332 1305-2218)
I'd like to have an MM FTF as a backup incase I want to downgrade in the future.
I know that flashing FTF files for other regions/countries is possible, so any MM FTF is okay but I would prefer having the FW with most features and least bloat-ware.
Is there any source other than xpericheck?
(PS. I haven't unlocked my device yet)

Thanks.
Xperifirm only shows the latest N firmware. I am now downloading it, but i need MM.
What do you mean by "create ftf (flashtool)" ? Can flashtool extract ftf from phone?

Hi Friends,
I wanted to have my Xperia J with ICS 11.0.A.7.5 firmware to be backed up. So following some post here on this forum stating that first repair phone using PCC and then go to db\13740270\blob_fs and copy 3 files with name "File....." and then convert the file to ftf using Flashtool.
So I first repair it using PCC. It succesfully repaired but after repairing, I found that now it is not ICS 11.0.A.7.5 but its JB11.2.A.0.31.
Also instead of 3 files with name starting with "File..." in db\13740270\blob_fs folder, there are 4 files starting with that name.
Can someone please guide me out of these 4 files, which files are to be selected in Flashtool for creating .ftf file to keep the backup of 11.2.A.0.31 firmware?
Also we know that there are some bugs in JB 11.2.A.0.31 as well as its hard to root this version. So if I want to go back to ICS 11.0.A.7.5, how can i revert back.
Thanks very much.

Regarding the backup I'm not sure exactly but from what I understand you want to save the .31 firmware for future flashing. If so, if the .31 firmware is unbranded you won't need to save it because there are links to the .31 Central European version ftf file on these forums.
And regarding the getting back part, if you ever wanna go back to ICS you can just flash the ICS .ftf file ( again you can find the links in the threads here) and you're done. BTW, if you wanna update to .31 I would recommend rooting the ICS and then updating OTA so that you can keep your root.

Thanks Sir for your guidance.
I did it this way...
Previously it was ICS unbranded and I rooted it sucessfully. Then I Repaired it with PCC (for getting backup of ICS) but it was repaired with JB .31 and root was lost.
Should I follow this way ?
First Flash ICS 7.5 .ftf file, then root it, then OTA update with JB. I also want to know that :
1. Will instead OTA updating with PCC work?
2.Is there any way to get back ICS by flashing with PCC instead of flash tools?
Thanks

Not a problem man.
To answer your questions :
1- If you update withe Pc companion you will loose your root. Only updating over the air will keep the root. ( after you finish the updating process you simply need to update the superuser app from the playstore).
2- Unfortunately, if you use the repair function Pc Companion will give you the latest version available, there is no way of choosing which Android Version to install, it will choose it for you. So if you want ICS you need to flash the .ftf file with flashtools
After flashing phone witch generic no branded firmwere 4.4.4 phone doesn't finds update. What do I need to do?
Try to download the original firmware for your phone using the Xperia Firmware Downloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/
Just select your phone model number and the brand, then click in the right side the firmware version.
Later use flashtools to pack the firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/noobs-guide-create-stock-firmware-ftf-t2188129
(Go to step 3)
And flash the new ftf file with flashtool too.
Sometimes the best way is to download the firmwares manually from the forum and flash it, because some brands don't give the latest firmware to our phones (like mine). With this way, you will have the latest firmware, rooted and with dual recovery just flashing the zip file, but first you have to prepare your phone:
Use this guide to flash the latest rootable firmware, root that firmware and install the recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
then go to development section and download the latest firmware for your phone. Download a preroorted with recovery version to allow the manually updates later:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/
Even you can use some custom Roms like Existenz.
Greetings and sorry for my english.

Flashing your phone using Flashtool will solve eveything.
Get the required ftf (download from the ftf post or create your own). Use the FSC when prompted.
This flashing here have nothing to do with TA.
Hello, i tried to create my own flashable ftf with Flashtool and Xperifirm today and failed 3 times in a row.
Does anyone have a link to a flashable ftf with the latest update and the least bloatware that you mind sharing?
You can find it linked from here https://xpericheck.com/device/F8331
Called "Customized NOBA". .58 not released yet for Nordics so it's .24.
I'm also interested in the latest "Customized NOBA" .58 FTF
According to Xperiacheck it was released a few days ago. However no link for FTF yet.
How can I get a FTF for this firmware? Can I make it myself?
Yes, use Flashtool to download and create FTF.
Latest firmware (41.3.A.2.58 NOBA region) is now available from https://xpericheck.com/device/F8331
I forgot all the process of upgrading to the latest Xperia firmware. I have downloaded the latest firmware but got no idea which flashing tool and how to use it to flash.
kindly guide me.:fingers-crossed::good:
Hi, NewFlasher.
The latest .25 flashtool supports H32xx.
Download matching ROM with included xperifirm
