[GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool
Part A: changing your customization number to download a different firmware customization (optional)
Requirements:
Rooted Xperia smartphone with locked bootloader:
- For firmware versions 10.1.A.1.350 and 10.1.A.1.434, use goroh_kun root exploit
- For firmware version 10.3.A.0.423, use perf_event root exploit, XZRecovery.apk and rootfixer.zip
Build Prop Editor
The customization number of the firmware you want to download (see list, only customizations for the same phone model)
Start BuildProp Editor.
When a Superuser request pops up, tap 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At the first start, a backup of 'build.prop' will be created automatically, which can be restored in case of any problems.
Scroll down to 'ro.semc.version.cust' and tap it.
Change the value to the customization number of the firmware you want to download.
When asked to reboot, tap 'No'.
Tap 'ro.semc.version.cus_revision' and change the value to 'R1A'.
When asked to reboot, tap 'Yes'.
Part B: downloading firmware with Sony PC Companion
Requirements:
Sony PC Companion
Xperia smartphone with locked bootloader
Delete this folder if it already exists:
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db
- Windows Vista/7/8: C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db
Start Sony PC Companion.
Case A: new software version available
Click 'Update'.
Click 'Accept'.
If you only want to download the firmware without updating, disconnect your phone as soon as the "Downloading software..." screen appears.
If you disconnected your phone, this window will appear, which you may close. Otherwise your phone software will be updated.
Case B: no new software version available
Click 'Your Phone / Tablet is up to date'.
Click 'repair my phone / tablet'.
Click 'Next'.
Repairing your phone will delete your personal data and settings. If you don't want this, see step 6. Click 'Continue'.
Tick the checkbox and click 'Next'.
If you only want to download the firmware without repairing, disconnect your phone as soon as the "Downloading software..." screen appears.
If you disconnected your phone, this window will appear, which you may close. Otherwise your phone software will be repaired and your personal data will be lost.
Part C: creating an FTF file with Flashtool
Requirements:
Flashtool
Firmware files from Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service (see part B).
Start Flashtool or Flashtool64 (for 64-bit Windows).
Click 'Tools' > 'SEUS Decrypt'.
Select the 'Source Folder' (copy-pasting this path will not work):
- Sony PC Companion (Windows XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony PC Companion (Windows Vista/7/8): C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (32-bit Windows): C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (64-bit Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
Move all 'Available files' to 'Files to convert' by selecting them and clicking the right arrow button.
Click 'Convert'.
Enter the following details:
- Device: your phone model, e.g. 'C6502', 'C6503' or 'C6506' for Xperia ZL (see 'Settings' > 'About phone' > 'Model number').
- Branding: can be found in the first columns of these tables by looking up the customization number, e.g. 'Customized US'.
- Version: the build number of the firmware, e.g. '10.1.1.A.1.307'.
Move all files from 'folder list' to 'Firmware content' except *.ta files (e.g. simlock.ta, preset1.ta, cust-reset.ta, ...) by selecting them and clicking the right arrow button.
Click 'Create'.
When you see 'Bundle creation finished', your FTF will be in 'C:\Flashtool\firmwares'. If your combination of device/branding/build is not yet available on xda-developers forum, please be so kind to share it (see part D).
To save about 2 GB of disk space, delete this folder:
- Sony PC Companion (Windows XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony PC Companion (Windows Vista/7/8): C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (32-bit Windows): C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (64-bit Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
Part D: sharing your FTF on xda-developers forum
Upload your FTF to a file host. I use Dev-Host for this purpose, but it only supports files up to 512 MB, so I use WinRAR to pack my FTF with the following options: 'Compression method' = 'store' (since FTF is already compressed), 'Split to volumes, size' = '512 MB'. Of course you can use a different file host and archiver if required. Please note that Google Drive, Dropbox and Box all have bandwidth quotas, so your shared files may be disabled if they are downloaded too much.
Create a new thread on xda-developers forum in 'Xperia ZL General' and include at least the following information:
- Device
- Build number
- Android version
- Customization version
- Region
- Branding
- Download links
Here is an example: [STOCK ROM][FTF] Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.1.A.1.253 Generic BE (Unbranded/Belgium)

HI, i have a question
this procedure does not change the official operator of the band,
because for example in a xperia x10 mini, flash the ftf file from other country, the cellphone show the message input the code for sim unlock

That's correct. Flashing a different firmware customization does not lock or unlock your phone. SIM lock is inside the Trim Area (TA), which does not get flashed.

I already have got the ftf file from my generic 4.2.2 from Argentina. I'm uploading it and then will share it thanks Apollo89

Both the bootloader lock and the network lock settings are stored in the Trim Area (TA) of your phone, which does not get affected by Flashtool. So no, flashing a different firmware customization will not change anything to your bootloader lock or network lock status.
Part B, Case A: The downloading window disappears when I disconnect the cable. Doesn't matter whether it's before or after clicking accept.

1. To root 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware, you need to downgrade your kernel to the one from 10.3.A.0.423, then root your device and upgrade the kernel to the latest version again. See DooMLoRD's guide.
2. If you lost LTE, you probably flashed C6502 firmware. It's recommended to stick with firmware that is made for your phone model (C6506), otherwise you will probably not be able to receive any future updates (due to IMEI/TAC mismatch).
3. You say you 'rooted' with Flashtool? Then you probably clicked the 'BLU' button and unlocked your bootloader, which means that your DRM keys got erased permanently (so no more Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, MusicID/Gracenote, etc.) and your warranty is now void...
4. To change to a different firmware customization, you can follow this guide, but if you flashed the wrong firmware (for a different phone model), it may not work and you may have to download and flash an FTF for C6506 first. Also, this guide cannot be used if you unlocked your bootloader.
everything is as it came out from the store now...
now the next step is to find a ROM with blue framework
id like to try that one but i gotta be sure it will work http://www.androible.com/how-to-update-sony-xperia-zl-to-cm10-2-android-4-3-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/
great job. Thanks ! :good:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- If you're coming from other MIUI V5 realase you don't need to [wipe data / factory reset], [wipe cache partition] and install the GAPPS.just flash this rom over previous. -
- Turn Rounded Corners Off,Limit Background Processes To 3 and Enable 'Force GPU rendering' In Development Settings And Reboot For Smoothness. -
- If you have "assert failed" error during flashing rom you can fix it easy by on this way:
Open the zip file with 7zip. go to META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script drag it to your windows explorer (or other programs). open it with notepad :
assert(getprop(";ro.product.device" == ";LT26w"; || getprop(";ro.build.product" == ";LT26w"; ||
getprop(";ro.product.device" == ";galaxys2"; || getprop(";ro.build.product" == ";galaxys2"; ( Or Something Similar )
and
delete them entirely . save it. then drag n drop to your opened 7zip, replacing old updater-script. - (Thanks to m1st3r1)

Hi guys,
Get Jellybean 4.3 now without unlocking the bootloader. No major hacking, you only need root.

}
If you haven't received the 4.3 Jellybean update yet then you can switch a region code in your phone to get it via PC Companion or Sony Update Service. You do not need to unlock the bootloader for this, so this is a very safe method.
I bought my phone in Germany. The 4.3 update is not available yet for Germany models as you can see in the image underneath here. I checked for a country with the 4.3 update available, changed the SI and now I have the update (no more need to wait or click check new update on PC Companion 50,000 times which nearly drove me mad).
Pick the code of one of the countries that has the 4.3 update and use it to get 4.3.
These are called SI codes. If you want to do this, you do it via a file called the build.prop which is found in device/system/build.prop. You need root before you can edit this file. This file tells the update program like PCC or SUS which region your software is. If you change the codes in this, you tell PCC or SUS to install/repair/update to a different region - of your choosing. You should always create a backup copy of your build.prop as it is an essential file related to how your phone works. This is a fairly safe thing to do, this has been done for years in the Xperia sections of phones from 2010-2013, we've done it ever year when new Sony updates were available.
Note: Changing or modifying a phone in any way has the possibility of damage. Adding other modifications to your phone increases the chance of issues relating to freezing, booting, rebooting, bricking. If you choose to modify your phone, know the risks and understand the proceedure! You are responsible for your own phone, as is normal with these mods.
How to Edit the Software Region Codes
Safety level: Easy
To change your region codes, you need to open the build.prop file and edit three files:
ro.product.name
ro.semc.version.cust
ro.semc.version.cust_revision
So I bought my Xperia M in Germany, so it has German/European software and is unbranded. My codes from above read like this:
ro.product.name=C1905_1274-5576
ro.semc.version.cust=1274-5576
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R1A
If you wish to switch to the German unbranded then you simply change your codes to these above. You click save, then you restart your phone. When you connect your phone to SUS or PCC it will recognise it as German unbranded and update/repair using that new software.
I have started requesting users to post their codes (called SI codes or customization codes) to create a list which users can use to choose their new software.
If you have any questions ask them! Please mention your SI code to add it to the list! Have fun!

Germany unbranded 1274-5576_R1A (C1905)

Narnia/Mordor/Hogwarts

How to Quickly View the Codes Without Editing
If you want a quick way to find the codes in your phone, you can find them via a service menu:
1. Open the dialler app, type *#*#7378423#*#* (It is SERVICE in text speak)
2. You will see a Sony service menu on your phone.
3. Go to service info, software info, you will see 'Customization version'.
4. Please do mention model info e.g. C1904/C1905 that may be important later.

I've just read on Sony website about how they have released the open source files for the xperia m it's the first build version but it could be a start for development here is the link to it http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...ves/open-source-archive-for-build-15-1-a-1-9/ also the bootloader can be unlocked using Sony's unlocking software but it's not in their list of safe unlocking at the moment but may make it way onto it if it doesn't cause any problems I might try and find out if possible from them

I have to admit I'm not a fan of benchmarks. But you may like this page, check the review link on the left hand side. They tested the phone out of the box on a number of benchmarks. The phone really holds up well against competitors. It might be 'only' dual core 1ghz but it ain't no slouch.

when i dial *#06# in my mobile displaying as below:
IMEI1:
IMEI2:

And from where can i get new IMEI numbers?
can you please help me on this.
Does this work for SM-A520FDS?
You can find out your current customization by dialling *#*#SERVICE#*#* -> Service info -> Software Info -> Customization Version. This guide explains how to flash another official Sony firmware of different customization onto your Xperia 1 II XQ-AT51. You do NOT need to unlock your bootloader to do this.
Download and install FlashTool from http://www.flashtool.net
On Windows you will then need to install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers.
On Linux you do not need to install drivers, but you do need to set some udev rules.
On Windows you will first need to reboot Windows with driver signature enforcement disabled to do this. Then install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers from the installed C:\FlashTool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open Flashtool and let the device database sync
This may fail on Windows if you have Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection running -- disable Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection in Windows settings:
Click on the XperiFirm icon to get a list of official Sony firmwares:
Select the XQ-AT51 on the left, and the select the particular Customization you would like. Then click on the box below "Available Firmware" to start downloading:
Once the Firmware has downloaded, close XperiFirm and then let FlashTool do some processing on the downloaded firmware to create a .ftf file of the firmware in your C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares folder.
This step is no longer needed as the FlashTool database has now been updated. This step is temporary and will not be required once the FlashTool devices database has been updated for the XQ-AT51.
Download the .fsc file and .properties file and unzip them into a new folder in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\mydevices\XQ_AT51 . Rename the .fsc file to "58.0.fsc" to use it with more firmware versions. Then in FlashTool's menu choose Devices->Manage->Import -- this will give an error, but ignore.
Now click on the Flash button and choose Flashmode.
Set up the Firmware Selector window as follows - this setup will erase all data on your phone. Then click Flash:
When prompted, power off your phone and then hold down the volume down key on your phone and connect a USB cable from the phone to your computer (do NOT use the UCB24 USB C - USB C cable that comes with the phone -- the UCB24 is for charging only and does not work -- you need to use a quality USB C - USB A cable or try the UCB32 instead). Keep the volume down key held until the notification light turns green. The flashing process will now be prepared.
When you get a prompt saying "A FSC script is found. Do you want to use it?" choose yes. An error of "those data are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal, so choose Yes, and let the flashing commence. If you get a prompt asking you to select a partition, select the top option for 128GB storage and the bottom for 256GB storage -- if unsure click cancel. If you get "ERROR:null" then repair your phone with Xperia Companion first.
Flashing will be complete when you see "Sync status : OKAY".
If you are worried as to whether the flashing worked or not, you can always then do a software repair using the Xperia Companion software. Please check your storage after flashing - some users are reporting that they only are seeing 128 GB of storage instead of 256 GB - please repair with Xperia Companion if you see this and report in the comments below.
I bought the phone from O2UK with the O2 firmware and managed to successfully flash it to the 1321-7192 Customized UK firmware with FlashTool. I now have VoLTE and WiFi-Calling on Vodafone UK .
FlashTool settings:
Here is the before and after Software Info in the *#*#SERVICE#*#* menu:
Here is the before and after in the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Information menu:
EDIT: I turned off and on again the WiFi Calling setting in My Vodafone and now Wi-Fi calling is also provisioned!:
UPDATE: After the 58.0.A.3.88 update on Vodafone with Customized UK, I no longer see Wi-Fi calling as being provisioned, nor do I get the Wi-Fi Calling menu option in network settings. However, Wi-Fi calling is actually still working and still turns on automatically when I get low cellular network strength.

Does this unlock the ability to have dual sim? I know you would still need a different sim tray. but if the phone will support dual sim after flashing that would make a huge difference for me.

No idea. Are there not more hardware differences than just the SIM tray?

I have no idea, On my OnePlus 7 Pro the only difference was the software and the sim tray, converted it to in global software and replaced the sim tray and dual sim worked.
Hoping its the same for this phone too.
I've managed to do this, but seems like I am only seeing 128GB of storage now? Is that normal, I didn't check before.

No, that is not normal:
You should only have 128GB on the Japanese models. Did you flash a Japanese firmware?

Works fine now after running Software repair on Xperia Companion. Stayed on the generic firmware as well.
I've gone to try this and Flashtool can't see any downloaded firmwares. In your screenshot the left panel has the model tree, mine is blank. The location is correct as I can see the files there in Explorer. Same both my computer's. Odd.

Done.
I have also made a pull request in the FlashTool devices db so that we won't have to do the .fsc and .properties bit in the future.
I have two quick (hopefully related) questions.
1. Has anyone tried to flash XQ-AT51 firmware on XQ-AT52? Obviously, I know Dual SIM may be impacted, but does it work? Any other issues?
2. Is there a CSC version of XQ-AT51 software for USA yet? I couldn't find it on XperiFirm.
Thank you so much!

I would like to know this too, we might have an answer soon enough since it looks like some people have ordered the 1 ii from wandamobile which basically ships the HK dual sim version.
I'm getting an issue when I'm flashing either the Customized UK rom or the O2 one where it gets stuck installing dsp.000, have you seen this before?
If I exclude dsp.sin from the flash it completes fine but the screen resolution is really basic so I'm assuming its the display drivers. Running a repair from the Sony Companion after the flash fails.
Stuck! Can anyone help? TIA

I would like to know this too, we might have an answer soon enough since it looks like some people have ordered the 1 ii from wandamobile which basically ships the HK dual sim version.

Agreed 100%. I would like to flash the USA firmware from the XQ-AT51 on my XQ-AT52, but (a) I don't know if it's advisable to do that, and would like to hear from someone who has; and (b) it doesn't appear that there is USA firmware yet for the XQ-AT51!
Hope we get our answer soon.
Apologies if its a noob question but if I flash different region software, will I loose DRM keys?
No
Ok managed to fix my issue, In the end I swapped the cable I was using which didn't occur to me as parts of the flash worked so assumed connectivity was ok.
I originally used the USB C - USB C cable that came with the phone. Swapped that to a USB C - USB A cable and the flash completed successfully!
Massive sense of relief after many hours of messing around with it! Hopefully this might help someone in the future

Thank you for putting this altogether, this should speed up the development work for this phone(kernel etc), as people don't have to go to service center for hard brick.
Also I want to tell you, I shouldn't get the credits for bypass_utility, the two people you mentioned should be getting the credits, I just forked(copy/cloned) the repository.
I assume you are new to github, anyone can fork(copy/clone) a repository by clicking on fork button
You can differentiate whether a repository is forked(copied) or original by seeing on the top left side.

Nice thats great! sometimes you really need to be on Trial and Error before you achieve what you want. happy for you. Thank you for using my thread as guide, Credits to the developers of the utility. and you have a good english. mine is bad. :-D
Anyone who facing problem when bootrom check, you have to flash first time or it will show error. Otherwise you have to uninstall and reinstall libusb.exe and others.
