Thanks! Got this rooted and running on my North America c6506 and it works great .. not much difference to the prior firmware I must say.

I think elabel-C6503-row_201310181800.1_10.3.1.A.2.67.sin is wrong/old file in this FTF

yes u can move on! :good:

Got it installed. That's the good.
The bad is that Android is a disaster with respect to backups and restores....or Sony is....not sure but I backed up to pc companion and restored and have lost just about EVERYTHING....pictures settings .....its basically a blank install. What a pain in the ass!
There has got to be a better way to do OS updates.

Hi all,

FTF, TUT and SCRNSHT - How to update your C1904 to 15.4.A.0.23 - India

Hi,
This is a simple guide and it works for C1904 if your phone is fully rooted (I havent checked on a non-rooted phone, mine was rooted already)
This updates your phone to 15.4.A.0.23
All I have done is changed the below using "build prop editor" which you can download from the Play store.
ro.product.name = C1904_1274-5477
ro.semc.version.cust = 1274-5477
ro.semc.version.cust_revision = R1C
Once the above are changed, reboot your phone and start your Sony PC Companion, it will show you a popup that a new version 15.4.A.0.23 is available!
This a global version.

Few questions ? What bloatwares do we get in global version ? And what about future updates (if any) ? And hindi language support ?

Installed apps were restored! they were not deleted!
In fact I did a factory reset purposely to know more about this new ROM.
Below are the screenshots for this ROM.
You can not only check bloatwares but also you can get an idea on how the ROM looks like
Initial Setup Screenshots -
HomeScreen -
Apps Menu -
Settings -
Themes -
Lockscreen -
Home Screen Manager -

Thanks to you.
OP I wanted to ask you if you have this problem?
When you go into the talk-back in accessibility and turn it on I have this weird problem where I am not able to click on anything. The whole touch screen kind of freezes and I have to double tap to navigate. The volume and power button seems to work fine. I turned it off and everything is back to normal.
I did factory reset the phone but the problem still exists.
>In the screenshot you can see that I am trying to pull down the nav bar but i can't do it and an yellow border comes up restricting the movement I have to hold it for sometime to pull it down.

This method worked for me, but I will need a easy method to root later on, because I want to restore the global setting to my local one

10.5.A.0.230 0.2MB Patch [OTA]

Hi guys today i received an 0.2MB update for my 10.5.A.0.230 KITKAT , Considering the size of the update i feel it must be a bug fix .
I have just installed the OTA , It has not changed the build number though .Look and feel remains the same .
Has anyone has else received the update and does anyone have any idea about what this OTA is all about .?

Not a bugfix version. Just a change in build.prop

Bro i have rooted my device.. and I have installed the patch..
So that should not cause you any problem.
have you installed cwm or any other recoveries like twrp, if so it will cause errors for OTA.

Bro all you can do is uninstall dual recovery from phone [I think the thread from where u installed dual recovery has instructions on how to uninstall it] and then try reinstalling the OTA . But IMO why take all this pain when this OTA does nothing good , its a just a small modification to build.prop . You can wait until sony releases some major bug fix update if at all there is any.

Nothing changes with this update , There is still lag in settings menu once you uncheck force GPU rendering and we have still issues with location associated battery drain .
But I still wonder why sony took so much trouble with releasing update when this was just an update to build.prop with respect to region ...

Maybe they are preparing the terrain for the release of 4.4.4

So, literally, the only thing in the update was a new build.prop?

yeah bro , that's the only thing which is inside this update , but do update the OTA because it might come in handy for 4.4.4 update if at all if we are getting it .

Where do you live? What country? I'm not an expert, but maybe the problem is that the baseband on your phone doesn't work there? And can you use mobile data? Does network come and go even when you are not calling? Did you update via OTA? Did you update with PC Companion? Did you flash with Flashtool?
Please reply with the answers, so that maybe I can help.

Download - specifically - C6503 Generic MEA (this is your region) firmware with Flashtool. If you search here on XDA you can find guide to download firmware with Flashtool and create FTF.

Tethering issue with WiFi & USB...
I've xperia ZL (C6502) since last 2 yrs.
I am facing problem, whenever I try to tether using WiFi or USB. It shows error: - "Error occurred during tethering."
I tried installing FTFs (Customized US - 10.7.A.0.222 / R3E & Customized IN - 10.7.A.0.222 / R1E) downloaded through XperiFirm but both have same issue.
Then I installed PureX ZL v2.0 but this too have the same problem.
Is there anything wrong with my ZL mobile phone ?

If i flash this ftf using flashtool will i loose my root access
?
