Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if it's possible to debrand my xperia and install an original Sony firmware just changing my costumization number in the build.prop file and connect the phone to PC companion and make a repair installation.
Everything with bootloader locked and phone rooted.
Finally using this guide step one and two http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-download-firmware-customization-t2355982
Is it possible? Can anyone confirm that? Or twill there be some problems?
Thanks a lot!!

i dont know if repair via pcc can solve this kind of problem, but i can say the simplier way to do that is flashing fw ftf via flashtool without any build.prop editing because after this youll get fresh fw without any bugs but you can try the way you mentioned here, it cant harm your phone.
repair is not 100% solution

You can use SUS to 'update' your firmware, however it's more easy and simple by just flashing an FTF file which can be found here
Flashable FTF's

I'm from Italy but I don't find an italian FTF file there. Where can I download it? Or which file should I use?
PS what is SUS?

You can/should use the worldwide FTF file mentioned in the reply above.
I'm from the Netherlands myself and most of West-Europe should simply use the worldwide file.
EDIT
About SUS, it stands for Sony Update Service, it's just like PC Companion but only the updating & repair of Xperia devices. It has no programs to transer files etc.

I have two last question:
From the guide I see I have to put my phone in Flash mode. Is it possible without unlocking my bootloader?
I have my phone rooted. If I flash a firmware with FTF will I lost my root?

1. You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash FTF files
2. Yes, you'll need to root your phone again
I've flashed EuropeCE firmware via flashtool and Vodafone branding disapeared from my phone, along with a bunch of bloatware.
Hi
I have Z3 D6603 was working fine
I downloaded 5.1.1 MEA and create FTF and flash with flash tool
now wifi and Bluetooth not open at all
i tried downgrade to 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 but still same
any solution for that
best regards
Same here. Locked bootloader, stock FTF that was updated to 5.1.1 via OTA. WiFi is wonky since then. I tried flashing different FTF's, including 5.1.1, 5.0.1 and 4.4.4, but WiFi is still quite wonky.
I also tried recovering using the PC Companion, thought it might have some extra magic compared to Flashtool - but no, WiFi is still extremely wonky: it is restarting itself every few seconds.

Hi,
I'have tried to manual update my D6603 Xperia Z3 to the latest firmware 23.1.A.1.232 (from 23.1.A.1.200) which is StageFright free.
I downloaded the FTF from XperiaFirm and than I flashed it using flashtool, no errors displayed. The phone now is in bootloop, stuck in boot animation.
My phone was unlocked and not rooted
Please, help

You didn't have to use flashtool. Use PC Companion. Sony's tool does the update for you.

Ok, I know, but my purpose was to change form Customized-ES to Custominzed-IT.
Once done that I would have downgraded my phone to Kitkat in order to root it.
Some minutes ago I managed to run 23.4.A.1.232 on my D6603 but I have some compatibility issues, preinstalled GAPPS don't run and the screen back illumination never turn off. I really don't know whats going on on that phone...
Now I'm using sony companion tool to repair the phone, if all goes right and I'm not going back to Customised-ES later I'll try to root it.
Basically all of this was a trial to understand if a was able to root it.

Hello XDA Dev community!
I'm new and I have heard good reviews about this site. I hope you could help me with my problem. I managed to buy an Xperia XZ So-01J model locked to NTT Docomo then got it unlocked thru a code. I need to flash it to a generic stock rom but I keep getting the partition.sin error and soft bricking my device in the process. If I tick partition.sin in the "exclude" category, a new error comes up again from the .sin files. Am I missing something here? I'm new to the whole Xperia game but I got a little knowledge about it epecially with Flashtool. I used to be a Samsung user and have never encountered something like this flashing roms using odin and a custom recovery.
model: Sony Xperia XZ SO-01J

Dear are you using latest xperia flashtool which use fsc script. I think you are using old flashtool. Also check drivers are cirrectly installed. Signature verification should be off in window.

Welcome dear.
Use 0.9.23.2 if possible. Put off the signature verification in window. Turn off antivirus. Dont plug any other device in usb port.
Installed drivers from driver folder of flashtool.

Tried everything you stated and sadly it doesnt work as well. Maybe there isn't a way to flash SO-01J to a generic rom. :crying:

Yes it's looking that. I also search for your probpem nut nothing is found. Can your model fall in f8331 aur f8332 category. Otherwise contact with androplus, a great developer in xperia software.

If it's f8331 then just install boot image from androplus through fastboot and then install recovery through fastboot and install custom rom.
Responses are still very much appreciated. I still have hope the SO-01J can be flashed with a generic ROM.

Hi!
I am also experiencing the same situation. Who can help me?
Who can help me?
:crying: I m haven the same condition with you. Who can help me? Asking for help.i used all the flashtool,but it still dont ok.
I have the same condition with you.I do it yesterday.you should use 0.9.23.2.Flashtool flash so 01j .ftf. Yesterday i went to japanese NTT'S Home net to download it.
Did you flash the international ROM? Or still use Docomo 6.0.1?
same problem here , i try to flash 41.3.A.2.24 AU on my Sony Xperia XZ SO-01J but it always appear error at all sin files start from partition.sin
anyone have solve this problem?
AFAIK you cannot flash that file to that device.
you can't flash other rom into this phone, it only accept docomo rom. the bootloader is locked and it's not unlockable (as far as I know unless docomo allows it or someone managed to find a way). so I did the next best thing, by removing some of the docomo apps through adb. I also removed some Sony apps like Xperia Tips and Whats New and a few others (facebook etc). battery life has been better since less things running in the background now, free RAM is around 1gb though I don't play games at all.
Is it posible to update the OS without root? I was looking into xperifirm and flastool, but it seems flashtool cannot recognise xperia 5iii. I am trying to update os android 12. some how device model- xq-bq72 is not getting the OTA
I'm in your boat, I have that model and it hasn't been offered the update...yet, I imagine maybe we'll get it eventually, but when I tried to use Newflasher it didn't boot and I had to factory reset and recover back to stock with Xperia Companion unfortunately, so now I'm waiting...
contact Sony maybe
btw....i'm still on A 11 and will stay for sure....new stuff isn't always better

Don't know if you've already managed to get Newflasher to work but I managed it using version 52 I think. Down loaded the Hong Kong custom build 61.1.A.2.211 from Xperifirm. No idea why it worked for me and not you. Good luck.

Interesting, I'll update for next time, but was actually finally offered the update last night and just installed it the normal way :-D
Great. Good to know that the XQ BQ72 version has finally received the ota.
