That video is NOT a how-to to install a stock ROM. That is a how-to to install a custom ROM. Use the link you were provided to flash the Jelly Bean stock ROM. (And it doesn't matter what carrier you bought your device from, i.e., Wind, etc.)

Stock is what Google or Samsung compiled. Custom is made or packaged by someone else.

As efrant has said, everything you need is already here, check out efrants signature links, all are excellent guides which I personally used when I got the Gnex as my first android phone, and now have more than a pretty good understanding about how it all works.

LT26w firmwares (ICS/JB FTF) - 1266-4530 / 1266-2449 / 1266-2032

May you can use these firmwares. All are original, untouched, decrypted from SEUS with Flashtool
The Generic Nordic firmwares for Xperia devices are used to work much stable for me and contains much less bloatware compared to others.
ICS
1266-4530 (6.1.A.2.45) Generic Nordic
1266-2449 (6.1.A.2.55) Customized Switzerland (In fact, unbranded, with minimal bloatware)
JB
1266-2032 (6.2.B.0.200) Customized Hong-Kong
1266-2449 (6.2.B.0.200) Customized Switzerland

Please don't ask silly question, or screenshots, I repeat, these are stock firmwares from SONY.

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.

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.

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

Tried on my C6602 with several combinations - such as 6602 rom+ 6506 baseband then change it to LTE, 6603 rom + 6506 baseband, and finally flashed the whole 6506 rom and baseband - either of those worked/_\ too bad....
I hope someday somebody would develop or leak a tool like the one they use to unlock samsung devices' baseband....since the hardware is basically identical.

How'd you just flash the baseband? What's the BB version for stock C6506?

Not really..... The hardware is what determains bands most of the time. Only CERTAIN ones that software/baseband unlocked bands like AT&T Note and AT&T note 2

Were you able to have your question answered? Download both parts, unzip and you'll end up with one single ftf

I did the stupid thing to update to this fw,battery die so fast 2 Times faster than 39 and it is normal for the phone to restart 2 times after restore all the apps from Google store??

Can anyone point me to a working link to download the .434 FTF file?
I'm currently on the Lollipop .222 build and I have an unlockable bootloader. After reading the forums, it seems the only way to root my phone is to downgrade to .434 first, root and then upgrade back to Lollipop. The links in this thread seem to be broken. I've tried searching other threads and elsewhere but can't find a working link to download this .434 FTF. Any help is appreciated.

It is Arabia region ... probably Middle East Arabia.
Philippines and Singapour region ROMs are available too for this version of the firmware. Nothing else at the moment.

Hi.
Does this work on other regions like Europe, too?
What´s the difference between all this versions specially released for one country, or region?
Is there only other Bloatware on it, or something else?
Thx,

i installed now via flashtool, only exclude the baseband. All works fine until now. There are a lot of Bloatware in it, but all of them are deleted by me without problems.
Now i will test the "standard" use of the Phone.
Thank you very much for uploading.

I flashed it on my 6503 with baseband. Had Nordic fw before. Seems ok so far. Found that I got lte instead of 4g as a logo.

Depending on if you are unlocked or from carrier.. Carriers mostly put there own apps.. But both unlocked or locked just delete unwanted apps u dont use to free up space..
