As it says in the title, I can't install the new software update.
Oddly, I'm still on the latest KitKat because I didn't got the earlier lollipop updates.
If I try to install the new update, it simply reboots and says that the Installation failed, nothing more like an error code or something else.
I don't think that a previous Custom ROM, which I erased with Sony Emma, bothers that, but if it would, there you go.
Here are all the specs:
Model info: D5503
Software version: 14.4.A.0.157
Previous installed ROM: CyanogenMod 12 (not 12.1), erased and stock restored with Sony Emma
Internal Storage free space: 8.3 GB
SD-Card free space: 24.16 GB

i'm having the exact same problem. already tried flashing nordic and baltic but none of them work. hope someone comes up with a solution.
Xperiafirm fault. Solution:
After download and extract rom don't bundle it. Firstly remove from folder one file fwsomething.xml I don't remember exactly name of file but is one file with that name. Delete it and after that create bundle with flashtool and after that flash and everything will works superb!

fwinfo.xml was causing the issue, fwinfo.xml will be used by the next version of flashtool to create a FTF. just need to remove it from the FTF. anyway, thanks man!
I'm having the same problem, I previously tried rooting my Xperia Z1 (C6903) but it is now restored. However when I tried updating to 14.5.a.0.242, it said "The device contains modified software that cannot be updated". Is it because the phone was not restored properly? (I restored by flashing Android 4.4)

Did you unlock your bootloader...? Is it still unlocked....? If so you need to relock for OTA updates

wouldn't relocking bootloader cause problems (besides preventing flashing and root)?

No... locked just means restricted access same as a locked door.... but your device needs locked B/L to take an OTA Sony official Stock firmware update.... personally I would never wait for the official release if I have unlocked B/L I would always search and you can find firmware updates a lot quicker than everyone else waiting for the OTA on their device or thru PC Companion,
I use this very handy tool to get available stock firmware for Xperia devices
Relock bootloader only
If you want to relock your bootloader (e.g. for downloading official sony updates in Sony Update Service) you can do so with flashtool. This only works if you already unlocked the bootloader with the official method.
Note: This does not restore the DRM keys. If you have a warranty issue you should restore your TA parition (which will relock your bootloader and restore DRM keys) with Backup TA.
1. Open flashtool
2. Click on the BLU icon
3. Connect your phone in flashmode (hold volume down and plug in your USB cable)
4. Flashtool will ask you about the device model, choose Sony XPERIA Z1 (if Z1 compact is not in the list)
5. Flashtool will read your IMEI and your unlock code. Check if those are correct (compare unlock code with the one you received by email from Sony when you unlocked the bootloader)
6. Flashtool will save the unlock code in its program folder under custom/mydevices.
7. Click "Lock bootloader" (-> If you want to unlock it again, repeat the steps (it will automatically detect that your bootloader is locked))

Thanks 160lightning. I was just wondering, since I'm a quite new to Android and I just saw the Android 5.0.2 update but was unable to update

I am using a Hong Kong version ARC, bootloader unlocked, flashed customized rom based on stock firmware, and of course rooted. I am going to send to Sony as the gps and wifi got some problems.
Here is my step:
1. Flash original Hong Kong firmware (I don't have it......can anyone give it to me?)
2. Re-lock bootloader
Is the above correct? I know unlocking bootloader should void the warranty, but just have a try to see whether Sony will check my phone or not
I readed that is possible to relock bootloader if you unlocked it by sonyericsson official method for free phones.
For "unlock allowed: NO" I don't know how you can do this, but... Someone said that if you unlocked your bootloader with omnius, you can relock your bootloader recovering the autobackup image that the program generate.
Perhaps you can relock the bootloader first and then do a repair via PC Companion to return to stock HKG firmware.
DRM checking
I think Sony will know your phone status when they check the DRM.
Usually IF you unlocked your phone bootloader by using Sony Method, the DRM also removed.
I followed the step in this website:
http://androidflip.com/re-lock-boot-loader-xperia-arc-step-step-guide/
and my phone can't be turned on now......after pressing the power button, the phone vibrated once(just like usual) and then nothing happened. No button backlight, no screen backlight.........
I'm extremely sorry if its offtopic but I couldn't post it in the development section.
How can we know if the device is rooted or not ?

If you used that method and everything went fine, then you're rooted. You should also have SuperUser and Busybox now installed.
Finally and successfully returned my phone to stock status, send to Sony, and get it back after repairing
My method is:
1. reLock boatloader (After doing this you can update it via UpdateService immediately, but as my ROM is an customized 0.62 ROM, UpdateService said I already have the newest software and done nothing)
2. Flash an older version stock ROM (in my case, I flashed 2.3.3 HK version)
3. Use UpdateService again and let it update your ARC to the newest firmware
4. Use root checker and bootloader check method to ensure everything is fine
5. Bring your receipt along with ARC and go to Sony repairing centre
Information not related to the thread
However, I took my ARC to repairing because of the GPS inaccuracy, Wifi disconnection and battery drain. I get it back today and they said they upgrade the software and everything is fine now - I really doubt about this as I already flashed a lot of different ROM (including stock) before but the problems can't be solved. I check the phone information and the firmware is just the normal 0.62 HK stock, no different......
i have a xperia pro....i finished unlocking bootloader rooting and installing x-parts......then suddenly i saw pacman rom 4.1 i was exited:fingers-crossed:.....so i schedule to go to recovery mode on reboot via x parts .....when i entered it i projected my rom and clicked install ....it stared but after a while it aborted ..so i clicked on a option reboot.....after it my phone remains with sony logo.....(not erission )because it was at offical ics......
so now i want to relock my bootloader so i can install and recover my phone like it was.........i have tried things but not worked.......please,u can help me with relock bootloader orany other method to repair my phone....when i connect it in sus it says modified software...and it stoped right there
please help me..........i felling very low:crying::crying:
I think you can keep your bootloader unlocked.
Just download an official ROM FTF file for your phone and flash it using Androxyde's FlashTool. It should debrick your phone. Then, you can repeat your experiments with custom ROMs.

Is there a reason why you need to relock the BL? According to Sony, there is no way to restore an unlocked BL.
Q: If I change my mind later on, is there any way to restore my device?
A: No. Once you have unlocked the boot loader, you will not be able to revert the device back to a locked or original state or restore the DRM security keys. You can however use the Flash tool for Xperia™ devices to flash a generic Sony ROM, although it will not receive automatic software upgrades.

You can relock it using flashtool. Just choose Xperia Z5 when the device window appears. I've already tried it, works like a charm.
Not sure if you can relock it without the back up drm keys. Since there isn't a backup program yet I would assume you've already lost the drm keys. I'm afraid you won't be to revert back to the same. Camera quality and x reality will be affected.

Some important things before you attempt the relock:
The DRM keys will not be restored after the relock.
You have to reflash the entire firmware or just flash the stock kernel before relocking the bootloader.
The phone should be on stock kernel, if you try to relock it with custom kernel the phone might brick.
Click BLU in flashtool and follow the instructions.

Turn off the mobile.
Press the BLU button in flashtool.
Press the volume down button of your mobile and connect it to the PC.
A pop up window will open, select Xperia Z5 (Z5P is not listed yet).
Another window will open, if you see Relock, press it, the bootloader will be relocked.
Let the process be over, then restart the mobile.

Relocking Bootloader
I had to unlock my device's bootloader to downgrade it to marshmallow because of the WiFi issue in Nougat, so i did it and didn't backed up the DRM keys(i didn't knew i am supposed to do it. It wasn't mentioned in the tutorial i was following or i missed it). Anyways now i am on marshmallow and i am unable to update it VIA xperia companion. It complains that bootloader is unlocked. Now if i lock the bootloader will xperia companion will work ? What is the affect of the lost DRM keys ? And if anyone knows the WiFi issue is sovled or not ?

Can confirm I did the same thing and forgot the keys (new to Sony devices vs. Google). IF you use the XDA FlashTool, you can re-lock the bootloader and Xperia Companion will recognize for a Factory reset of your device.

Hey guys i was trying to install a recovery in to my Xperia T3 D5106 and i used the flashtool software (now emma) to do it. It turns out that emma only supports the D5103 version but i proceed anyway (because i'm stupid) and installed something that the emma say it's a Service (i guess it's a updated ROM and recovery) in to the T3 D5106. But the phone now won't boot and it stuck in a warning message saying:
"WARNING
The software version does not correspond with this model type
Model
[SEAGUL_REX]
Software
[SEAGUL_GINA]"
I tried restoring it with Xperia companion but failed to do so because the bootloader is unlocked. Is there anyway to comeback from this? I've downloaded the original ROM of my device but i don't know how to flash it. If anyone know how can i revert to the original ROM i would be very grateful.
Thanks.
Nevermind, the phone booted after the warning message. I don't know what happened, maybe i wasn't waiting long enough. I can't access recovery though.
Hello All,
Can anyone give me the solution for my below problems
Number of Users searching solution for XZ2 Compact Volte and Wifi Calling
I have Sony XZ2 Compact Dual Version
I live in India and here only XZ2 Released, no official released Xz2 Compact Version, after lots of R&D I have managed Volte, Wifi Calling, using XZ2's Oem*.sin file flash to XZ2 Compact but after this, I am facing 3 Problems
1)Didn't get any OTP
2)Device Restart when Change Data connection between two sims
3)Color Enhancement(Sony High Color Option), whatever Option I select but no any change (Settings-Display-Quality)Neither Super vivid nor Standard work, screen lose color quality
If I Flash original Oem*.sin than everything working fine
File Name - oem_X-FLASH-CUST-B6B5.sin
I tried almost Every country OEM file but no Result, If I flashed XZ2 Compact file than work fine but no Volte, Wifi Calling
Now I am deciding to root and push modem_config but there are lots of rumors if I root Sony Devices like DRM, Sony Software Support will lose permanent
So is there any way to edit modem config without root, or if I root than possible to unroot again, I don't have a problem if warranty void but not want to lose software support, can we edit *.sin file and reflash?
I knew which modem entry have to push but why screen resolution weak
Or can you make any package that is flashable?
if I unlock bootloader than what I will lose Permanent
After Root possible to Stock Unroot again?
Please help me in this matter, how to sort out

With unlocking you will lose Sony backup & restore, ota, this video enhancement and the Sony apps.
Maybe Bluetooth access to a Sony controller and screen casting, too.
Unlocking is required for any phone modification without .sin files.
I just flash XZ2 Oem*.sin file, I lost Video Enhancement, even bootloader locked
if I flash Xz2 Compact than working fine, can I do something setting without flashing get Volte and Wifi Calling, my aim is to get Volte and wifi calling only
but why Video enhancement, any reason
Possible downgrade without Root?
Bootloader Relock Possible?

No bootloader relock
Downgrade require fullwipe
Maybe a fullwipe fixes your German edition bootloop
(If you flashed the entire German firmware, not only oem; if you only flashed oem please try to flash the entire firmware first)

I am a little confused about two files
1)persist.sin - what contains this file, whenever I flashed only this file ask for overerwright but still I didn't do always skip
2)Now If I am downgrade than which file should use - 51.fsc or 52.fsc
Without Root Downgrade Possible ??

There are various configuration settings
But it also may delete your persist keys
Some apps may use it as an indicator if the phone got unlocked. (Will complain even with locked bootloader)
51 should be oreo

Thanks, Gray for Info, Now will not Touch Persist.sin anyhow
My aim is how to get Volte and Wifi Calling, but the problem is after flashing Oem*.sin(XZ2) file I have got desire Result but lost Super Vivid mode and OTA too
I did One Experiment, Flash XZ2 Entire Firmware(try to avoid Super vivid, OTA issue) except for Persist.sin, successfully installed but am not able to touch anything screen unresponsive than again flash original(XZ2 Compact) and working now, can you tell me which file should not flash(from XZ2) or which file should pick with Oem so I can get Super vivid too
My Device - XZ2 Compact Dual
OEM working file XZ2 Dual
I compared two Cells all firmware files, most of the files are same except some files not match with Size only

Super Vivid mode can be recovered after flashing eXistenZ. Just checked that, it 100% works. Find it at Xperia XZ2 thread.
This and any other method will require unlocked bootloader, keep that in mind. Absolutely recommended :^)

I have unlocked it the day I bought it. If you'll unlock it on Pie you won't get any troubles except for OTA. Which is basically only security patches, sooo... It's nothing great, really. But bl unlocking gives you a LOT of possibilities for you and your phone

That's only my guess, but I think DRM features are connected with the signature of a ROM itself. So if you flash OEM from XZ2 or another region - it drops any DRM feature. Consider unlocking bootloader
