Use Flashtools to find the ROM that works for you then flash it in fast boot. Look through some tutorials on how to use it on YouTube
All you need are in XperiFirm, download your firmware you need, use FlashTool to create bundle then flash it in flashtool

Flashtool does it all for you, no need to use xperifirm independently been like this for a while now.

Hi
I just got confirmed by Sony customer service that after unlocking bootloader and rooting, you can still update your device with flash tool. But is their any website, like the one for Samsung, where you can find official and newest software updates and download them, so they're ready to be flashed to your device?
Thanks in advance

Out of curiosity, they're outdated stuck right?
I mean they're outdated and so. Aren't their an website with the newest possible updates?
I mean like the D6603 model, haven't been updated since september so any minor updates since are "lost" on the device, right?

I know that. I ask where do I download the latest version of the Xperia z3 software in the future.
Like if I unlock bootloader now, and Android L comes out tomorrow, I can't get it, cause I can't update with PC companion or OTA update. Neither can I flash it with Flashtool as I don't have the update. So back to the question. Where do I find new updates?

You cannot install the update with this after unlocking the bootloader but this is where you download the very latest files and then you can convert them to an FTF file and flash them with flashtool.

You have already been given the link to the FTF collection thread in an earlier post. That is where you get the latest FTF files.
Or do what I just said, use PCCompanion to download the update, convert it to FTF and flash with flashtool

Take my thanks!
What's about using XperiFirm with Flashtool? So u'r just up to date without having a look into forums etc.... That's my prefered way to stay up-to-date for all of my Z to Z3 phones.
/na, didn't read posts above.
so after giving up on installing cm12 I've decided to roll back to the stock sony firmware
but, I kinda downloaded a version that is a little bit outdated, so I have to update it
the problem is, when the cellphone goes to install it, it just boots on twrp
is there any way to fix that?

Are you trying to install a .zip file or a .ftf file?
.ftf files are only flashable with flashtool via a pc.

If you have unlocked the bootloader then PCCompanion will not work.
Use flashtool to download the latest FTF file and flash that

How were you going to install cm then? That needs an unlocked boot.
You can still use flash tool to repair your phone though.

Use flashtool to download the latest FTF for your device and flash it.
Or, if you can access recovery just flash a pre-rooted .zip for your device
Can i downgrade my xperia xz from nougat to marshmallow? Any tutorial?
yes
use flashtool
search for marshmallow ftf in this forum
i tried it before but i failed to flash it.. i downloaded an indian ftf because its the only 6.0 ftf i found on the internet.. i dunno maybe i just made mistake flashing it.. can u kindly give me the exact procedure how to use the flashtool.. tnx
Please follow this guide:
I can't downgrade before. Here's what I did:
Download latest FlashTool
Uninstall the current flashtool installed
Delete flashtool files on your local drive like C: or D: , etc
If you are using Windows, please navigate to the following path:
C:\Users\*username*\.flashtool
Delete the .flashtool folder
Reinstall the Flashtool and the patch (jar file)
Download MM from Xperifirm (the commercial firmware is still on MM)
Create the TFT file. As you create the TFT file, it will tell you that there's a Flash script for your device. Click Yes. Clicking no will need you to repeat from step 1
Once the TFT is created, flash it now
IF you encounter an error with the date, flash it again.

See my reply above. I used commercial fw from xperifirm
hello ,
excuse me, how do you flash xz premium firmware that has been unlocked bootloader but not rooted? now on firmware security may and want to return to stock rom.
thank you
use Xperifirm to download the firmware, then download flashtool and newflasher. decrypt the downloaded files with flashtool and then put newflasher files into the decryped firmware files. run newflasher and follow the steps. will have to use drm patch after flash new stock firmware if bootloader is unlocked. you can find all those software on xda.
thank you for your answers. There is an additional question, can xperifix v2.5 be used for the latest patch firmware? because the latest xperifix requires paying.

Since TWRP is not official for Xz2c, you will need to rely on custom builds, or build your own. Only one I know of for O is here - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603893744 - by @MartinX3. It's for a different build, but I think you should be able to update build without wiping data, and be OK. He also has a corresponding ftf here -

Ftf is the flashing file that contains all of the information and files to flash a stock rom on your phone.
To root, just flash the ftf, and then follow the instructions in MartinX3's recovery thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-touch-recovery-t3821597.
To flash the ftf, you need to use Flashtool by Androxyde or Newflasher. They each have their own threads with instructions / support.
If you use Flashtool, you'll need this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../flashtool-android-pie-52-x-fsc-file-t3896454

You really should read up on the process since bricking a handset is really easy, and your questions show a lack of understanding. TWRP is not a ROM, TWRP is a RECOVERY. Your phone has a bootloader, a recovery and a ROM (the operating system). You can only change operating systems (a different ROM or a rooted ROM) by changing the recovery which enables flashing ROMs, and you can only change the recovery by unlocking the bootloader. Screwing up any of those steps can brick a handset.
XDA is chock full of information and the poster above gave you directions for several helpful threads. Read these carefully and most of your questions will be answered.

Flashtool / Newflasher will put stock rom on your phone, (make it like factory). Everything else is explained in MartinX3's thread.
