does anyone have a working link or file for generic uk firmware please cos all links ive tried don`t exist or have removed the file
Do you still need the ftf? I have one which is rootable but it's not uploaded anywhere. If you need it just tell me and I'll put it in my dropbox
yes please is it the official rollout firmware or has it been played about with..
I'm not sure how to differentiate between official firmware and something else but it's pretty legit. i think the only difference is that it's been made rootable. I'm pretty sure once you update it to to the latest firmware version everything will be reverted back to official. i'll upload it in a couple of hours because broadband is almost gone
nice one thank you
is there a rooted ics firmware cos fastboot doesn`t work on official ics so can`t seem to root

Hi there
I just recently signed a contract with orange for the Desire.
Last Night I got rid of there crappy firmware and installed the stock Bravo firmware.
My question is, if an over the air update is released for froyo 2.2 what will happen? Will my phone download the Orange firmware 2.2, Bravo 2.2?
Or will it not work now and i will have to manually update using a downloaded firmware.
Thanks
Dion.
is it really an issue for you ??

Well yeah of course it is. I dont want to download the update over the air if its going to be Orange firmware. But if it uses HTC Generic Firmware then I will download over the air.
What happened to the help in this forum?
if you flashed a generic non branded rom ill guess you get a generic non branded froyo

Hello,
Has anyone tried to flash 2.3.2 global, root it, and is OTA available for 2.3.4?
Anyone taught of that?
I haven't tried yet cause is there any app to backup phone settings and phone memory? from SE?
I CONFIRM THIS WORKS + ROOT REMAIN
Regards
AFAIK, no OTA available yet for 2.3.4...
+ OTA for the update before this was only for HK and UK ( and Germany if i'm not mistaken ), no world generic or other region... so we might guess that the OTA 2.3.4 will take too much time to go for the firmware version of choice...
some guys already converted to HK version as it's the fastest one to update...
I had the Germany version and till yesterday evening there was no OTA update...
but now the phone is not working after upgrading to 2.3.4 and than downgrading back to 2.3.2 global and rooting it
I have seen a lot of people including myself had their phone ****ed up by downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 and root. I suggest you to wait till there is a solution for this problem.

I am tired of flashing my phone back and forth and getting really frustrated. So I went to SE, told them the phone was dead and play dumb. They gave me back the phone with a new motherboard. Now I am using 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 HK ROM
From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2/2.3.3, try this:
There is no problem with UK.184 -> Root and OTA to .368 (no need remove battery even).
Also no problem if I want 2.3.4 again, then I flash Nordic_Telia branded.238
-Tried two times already, cause I couldn't decied which one I wanted.
Hope it helps

Yes, it is available now OTA with Root (happy), but I want to argue about people calling it Generic_World firmware all the time here on xda, it is Nordic!
There is no World region firmware as far as I know?
well I flashed back to 2.3.2, rooted, and now I want to OTA, and can't connect to download ! says : impossible to download now, try later.
I don't know whats the problem now.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.
Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.
I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi
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 .

Well, flash any 4.1 firmware, change the regional code inside build.prop and update via pc companion, if unlocked bootloader, download update, create firmware file and flash it.
Cheers!!!
i've already tried CE and other versions of 4.3, even succeed to flash indian 1904, did work but it didnt feel good, updates for programs came later then on other roms, but somehow the first ROM i had on it felt best. I did find 4.3 version but initial, nope...
