Your Japanese S0-01C

(Android 2.3.2; ja-jp; SonyEricssonSO-01C Build/3.0.D.2.79)
If you flash to non-japan firmware, you may not get your japanese specifc apps and features support. The Japan firmware is different from the worldwide firmware like HK, Europe, Americas and etc.

You should be fine flashing a different ROM on the SO-01C there would be afew changes in the information but technically it shouldn't matter. As the other user mentioned, each firmware has its region and market apps which are pre-installed on the firmware and when you flash they are on your phone but if you don't care for those, you can simply do it by using FLashTool.
Good Luck

thanks for your clearly reply, i'm not a Japanese, i'm just like the pink so i don't need any jp apps
can you tell me which 2.3.3 FW now is the best for arc (battery is the most i care)

My zl originally shipped with c6502 fw .395 .
since receiving it i have flashed this C6503 fw .350 rom and every thing works great.
I even find that my wind mobile data is faster.

Thanks, would you know if Lte does indeed work after flashing the 6502 with the 6503? Someone mentioned it another thread. But it disappeared after a reboot. Hoping some deva can get this to work permanently.

Could someone please provide the German 10.1.A.1.434 as a flashable zip or something?
At the Moment I am on .350 but i can't flash the OTA-Update... Don't know why...
Getting error message: "Installation nicht möglich"

You have to do the update using the SE software on a windows pc...

Thx hyelton.
But this didn't work either. Also tried it via Web. No success.
The curious thing now is, that i am getting the message "Your software is up to date".
But i am on .350.
Before that i just got "Installation not possible".
Now i will try the repair function, maybe this helps.
Maybe someone can help me out with a manually flashable file!?

Do you have an retail device?

My device ist from Phonehouse.de
I already had the .434 update on it. But then I installed a wrong mod and I had a bootloop.
So i flashed the .350 FW from bin4ry. Now I want to install the .434 update again...
Can I flash the generic nordic Firmware on my device? Think this would be the easiest way.

Means?
what this the Original Sony Unbranded DE means? what's the different between this and the Original unbranded, and 10.1.A.1.434 - Generic Nordic 1270-6779 R5A? sorry~ but i'm a noob... lol
want to use Docomo sim card with my c6503... any ideas?

Just to confirm (because brazilian LTE bands are really wacky), wich are the LTE frequencies for this ROM?

This link does not work for me (there is no ftf file there).
Could somebody upload another mirror of this somewhere else (like to me.ga or something)?
Original uploaded.net link works, but is painfully slow for me.
The German ROM should differ from Nordic in respect that it should have some extra app (like Mobile McAfee and XPeria Privilege)

If you want the stock rogers rom, you will need to wait awhile til it leaks somewhere

i think you are right im on the generic US rom, all is good, got mms working, i feel like lte is verrrry in and out, not sure if its acting normal. also, pretty frequently throughout the day i lose signal all together very briefly, i get the little red x on my signal bars, for like 10 sec

I'd also like to know. There isn't any mention in any thread I've found that the generic/factory ROMs are bloatware-free or not.

I need an unbranded firmware for the Xperia ZQ (xperia ZL version for countries with different LTE frequencies, like Brazil).

ofcourse its not bloatware free.. its STOCK SONY FW for global versions etc.. but varies on carrier FW`s that have there own apps on it.. flash to stock for selling purposes or to unroot,nor claiming your warranty.. the only advantage is u can flash LTE FW to non LTE FW same model..

I'm sorry, I generally equate "generic" with "nothing added," as did at least one other forum member. Thank you for the clarification.

[Stock ROM][FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 10.3.1.A.0.244 Commercial & Journalists

As the title says, attached are the links to download the 10.3.1.A.0.244 Commercial/Journalists (1270-4005) firmware for the C6506. This contains the same baseband needed for the AT&T LTE, not sure about others. From my observations, the firmware is identical to the US Generic, nothing more...nothing less.
If you want to use it to flash other C6506 variants (e.g. Canada, Mexico, etc...), you should be able to flash everything except the baseband and that will maintain your original baseband. Alternatively, you can flash the original baseband afterwards if the included baseband doesn't support your carrier. Just make sure you have a stock FTF of your firmware before you decide to go this route.
I was also able to successfully root it via DoomLord's latest thread. It will require the kernel from the previous C6505 10.3.A.0.423 stock firmware (C6506 ONLY). Customization doesn't matter, as long as it's for the C6506 and Android 4.2.2 so the kernels match. If not, you'll get into a bootloop.
Upon successful initial boot, it will ask you to download Data/MMS settings. Just as well, it will default to WCDMA connection type, so just go under Settings>Networks(more)>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and select LTE.
It is always HIGHLY ADVISABLE that you keep a stock FTF of your firmware before flashing any other stock FTF that changes your customization, so you can easily go back to your original customization or repair the phone in case something goes wrong. You can learn more about this here.

File 2: http://d-h.st/lsJ
You'll need 7-Zip or any extractor that can handle 7Z formats.

So whats different on this compared to other stock images? Just curious

Would this work for my locked canada C6506 ?

I noticed zero differences between this and US Generic. Software is dead on identical in every way. The only reason I flashed this is because Sony hasn't released the 10.3.1.A.0.244 for the C6505 US Generic...and I, and others I'm sure, are highly impatient to wait

It should work, just make sure you have an FTF of your current stock ROM in case you need to flash the baseband from it. Like I said, I don't know for certain whether the baseband from this ROM supports the LTE bands of your carrier or not. For me, AT&T was supported the same way the US Generic did.

Can this rom work on locked bootloader?

Absolutely. Flashing stock FTFs don't require an unlocked bootloader, only custom ROMS do. So you should be good to go.

Thanks! How is the rom so far? BTW I'm on T-Mobile USA

The update is awesome, the phone is pretty much flawless now.
BTW...Sony just released the update for the US Generic (just now)...so you might want to check for the the OTA or use PC Companion. In other words, you don't need to flash the ROM in this thread.

Urgent help for Xperia ZL (6505) 4.1
Guys - I just got a Xperia ZL (c6506) and unlocked it from Claro. The problem is that Claro has put so much of bloatware on the phone plus there is still for update on 4.1 JB.
Can I flash a stock ROM (4.3) on my current phone to get rid of the bloatware and run 4.3 ? I am still on baseband 10.1.1.A.1.253 and bootloader is locked.
I understand this is a pretty novice request but please help as I am getting confused with the multiple info being provided.

Can you give me A link of c6506 baseband or ftf that LTE supported ? Because it has dead link .

Well, flash any 4.1 firmware, change the regional code inside build.prop and update via pc companion, if unlocked bootloader, download update, create firmware file and flash it.
Cheers!!!

i've already tried CE and other versions of 4.3, even succeed to flash indian 1904, did work but it didnt feel good, updates for programs came later then on other roms, but somehow the first ROM i had on it felt best. I did find 4.3 version but initial, nope...
