[Q] Regarding Firmware update - Sony Xperia ZL

I recently bought xperia zl L35 h from China and changed to C6503 via flashtool. I just discovered that ZL L35h from China corresponds to Model C6502. So if i flash the C6502 version then will i still get updates officially in future or I have to flash the new released firmware via flashtool only? Any kind soul please help me sort out my query

I don't see a problem, you will get the update for whichever C650x is installed on your phone. I think the updates stop coming through if you unlock the bootloader. Not positive on this one...if someone wants to correct me...

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)

[FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 4.1.2 - 10.1.1.A.1.253 - Generic US 1270-7584 R8A Firmware

Hello,
New FTF Firmware for Flashtool for Xperia ZL (C6506)
Android Version: 4.1.2
Firmware Version: 10.1.1.A.1.253
Filesystem Version: Generic US 1270-7584 R8A
Download: Xperia ZL (C6506) 10.1.1.A.1.253 Generic US 1270-7584 R8A.rar
Enjoy the new firmware!!!
thank you very much
I am looking for it for many days
Thanks for this, I was begining to think nobody was going to post this FTF for the C6506. Your link says its for the C6606 - Isnt that for the Z instead of the ZL or it doesnt make a difference?
Nevermind, hotfile name is C6506 - I'll assume it's a typo
Thanks
waiting for root instructions.

follow this step I just rooted mine with .253 c6506
That method is only for people with an unlocked or unlockable bootloader. Mine is currently locked and cannot be unlocked.
Sucks for me, gotta wait for someone to come up with a Root exploit for locked bootloaders.
Hope someone is working on it...

Since build 434 can be rooted with a locked or unlocked bootloader, wouldn't be possible to create a zip file of the stock ROM 253 and simply add Root to it so that people with locked bootloaders would be able to flash that from CWM or TWRP while running build 434.
If I remember correctly, thats how I had done it for my Xperia T.

Hi.
This is, what they did with the Xperia Z. Seems to work.
But there is no prerooted Stock Rom for the ZL, isn´t it?
If someone knows, how to build a prerooted rom, please let us know.
Marco
if root wont exist for .253 build LB, i wont update my phone until next update released..

Please do, I can't even download it.
Stock C6606_US_10.1.1.A.1.253A

[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 .

Have a look in this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094
You can flash C6505 from what I read without issues. I would do a backup either way...you know better safe than sorry.
I flashed C6502 on my C6506 without issues....I assume the other way around works too.

[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.
