Hi, does anyone have a link to a ftf for the Xperia C1905 15.1.C.2.8 World version (Android 4.1.2) ????
I 'broke' my Android 4.3 rooted build for a Locked Bootloader and have to start over again.
I have found Indian and Indonesian versions which I could use if there is nothing else available.
Thanks in advance.
[Update]
Found [TUTORIAL] Firmware Collection + Tutorial How to Flash It Manually
which has a list of C1905 fw releases which may provide the build I need.
Will I loose Root when updating via OTA ? maybe not unless it's the update for 4.3 like it was on my Xperia T that I had just lost this weekend now I got a deal on a Xperia ZL C6506
and now Currently Rooted on 4.1 Build 10.1.A.1.395 with an OTA update available 10.3.A.0.423 not sure what build that is when I got PC companion saying I got an update for Build number 10.4.B.0.569 So I'm assuming that 423 isn't 4.3 but 4.2 but I don't know ?
.423 is Android 4.2, 10.4. is Android 4.3.
You will not lose root for build number updates on same Android version, however you will lose root if you go from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.3.
hi
Sony T2 Ultra dual
My phone Cda is 1280-3257 android KitKat version 19.1.1.C.0.56 R3B Customized MEA
there's an update to lollipop but it's not R3B it's R5C so if i upgrade it to the new firmware 19.3.A.0.472 R5C that's can make any problem or troubleshoot like wireless dropping, battery life and facing other problem of my phone or that's will be normal for it .
yes there is difference,
which is.... kitkat and lollipop
if in Xperia Firmware Downloader you are pointing correct device model & device region,
for your device's lollipop update, then there is no harm to your device.

R3B like R5C if it on the same customized
Yesterday I updated my ROOTED Lollipop to the latest build 5.1.1 , but after the update I lost the root , so I tried to root it again with iRoot program , but I got this error message :
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported
Then I tried many many of rooting apps but still facing the same problem and getting the same error !!
I looked for this issue, and I found some sort of fixes but I couldn't understand anything, because I'm not an Android expert.
So can you please give me a solution because I need my device to be rooted. And with an easy and simplest way please !
Device : Sony Xperia Z1 COMPACT
Model Number : D5503
Android version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.4-perf-g4fd66c3
Device build number : 14.6.A.0.368
In short: Flash back to an earlier version (using Flashtool), root it, install NUT's XZ dual recovery, flash a pre-rooted ZIP of LP 5.1.1 (you find some here on xda), and enjoy your rooted android

Thanks for the reply .. For curiosity, can you please explain to me what means this error and why it exist , as I read it was since 4.1.1 , and personally I didn't face it when I updated android to 5.0.2.
Mainly it attempts to unlocked bootloaders. but there is a workaround for the error, so if you had still installed a running recovery the whole backflash was useless

Originally it was written for nexus and motorola devices, but it fixed my Z1C too, so i guess its not devicebound
I want to ask a thing:
I'm on latest 5.1.1 and want to root.
I think that flashing kernel only of previous (5.0.2) root and then flash a recovery can help me.
It's true? Because if I can root in that way:
I have the full ftf file of 5.0.2 version...how can I flash kernel only of 5.0.2 from flashtool?
Someone can tell me which options I have to check and which don't on flashtool to flash only kernel?
Or can post me a link to a kernel only ftf of 5.0.2 for italian firmware or CE1 ?
