Thanks for uploading to 4shared, very good website to download from At first I thought my phone was stuck on a boot loop during the "XPERIA" logo but turns out it just takes a while for it to load!

I downloaded the .ftf file linked in this thread and it's great. It's a little more current than the one you linked to. It's French in origin, it's unbranded and very clean. I did not try the one you linked to, so I can't compare.
After flashing that and updating OTA, I did this to root it and install CWM.

I read it, but the link I provided wasn't as easy to find this file as the one you linked to. So I though I'd link to it here.

The Hong-Kong FTF - Is that working good to flash on our Nordic Acro S devices or is it going to be an big fail? I mean, Hong-Kong and the Asian countries does use an different baseband compared to Europe and the Scandinavian / Nordic countries right? This does affect signal reception and battery life or..

AFAIK they use the same BB. My device originated from HK, and works well on 2G/3G in the CE, either the Nordic and HK fw too.
BB problem could happen only if you flash an XAS fw to Acro HD, or vicaversa.

Yes you can, if it's not void your local warranty.

No, flashing stock FTF files does not require the bootloader to be unlocked.

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)

[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.

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 .

Do it manually, download the .ftf, use Flashtool and flash the ROM. If your phone is not rooted, then root it.

you can update to JB via flashtool (unofficial) method.
see this threads:
1. flashing instructions
2. software download links

With the ATT devices I highly suggest you use the Rogers .211 ftf. After that try ExistenZ.

This works
I recently bought an LT28AT off ebay. I was dismayed when I started reading about the bootloader, the lack of JB for the ATT crowd...
So I decided to take a gamble and flash the Rogers file [Sony Xperia Ion (LT28i)_6.2.B.0.211_Rogers (Canada).ftf].
I can confirm that if you follow the instructions (I used the Linux version), you CAN use the Rogers JB flavor for the LT28i on this phone.
MAJOR CAVEAT: YOU MUST EXCLUDE BASEBAND WHEN FLASHING TO THE ROGERS ROM WITH AN AT&T PHONE. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOU CAN'T MAKE CALLS.
I have attached an image that shows where the option is. TICK THAT DAYUM BOX.I didn't the first time, and inadvertently flashed the wrong baseband. Calls sounded like my phone was at the bottom of a swimming pool. I remedied that by flashing back to AT&T ICS, then flashing back to Rogers, this time wisely skipping baseband.
I haven't fully tested it, but it is FAR better than the ICS version that I updated it to using Sony companion.
So for those wondering, if you have an LT28AT, and you want to use Jellybean, I can confirm it works. The other fine posters above will direct you to how.
Now to experiment further...

[Q] C6502 - Stock FTF (Non-stripped) - 1267-1980

I have the L35H (China, 1267-1980) variant of the SONY Xperia ZL. It is currently running CM10, but I would like to return it to the factory firmware. Does anyone have an FTF for the L35H, or something that would work?
I would post the SONY mobile link but it wont let me since I do not have 10 posts. If you want it, you could PM me for it, or if you know a site that has A LOT of the sony mobile ftf's, then please let me know.
Latest version: 10.4.1.B.0.101
I would prefer the 1267-1980 ftf, but will any C6502/C6503 variant work?

Re: C6502 - Stock FTF (Non-stripped) - 1267-1980
I managed to get the Generic US ROM working after locking the bootloader. This should suffice. Thanks again to anyone who thought to help. You can still help me out by providing a 1980 rom if you know where to get one.
