Hello xda! I am a newbie to xda but have read many forums earlier.But this is my first question.so I just bricked my Sony Xperia M C1904 and i have downloaded stock rom of Xperia M C1905. So I am confused that can I flash C1905 rom in C1904 because I have searched Google but there is no straight answer about this. And my another question is when I try to flash twrp recovery to my device it says error please help me
device details
Sony xperia M c1904 single sim
Bootloader unlocked and rooted
It was running on stock 4.3 jellybean
I have made ta partition backup
It was bricked after unlocking bootloader
After flashing c1095 rom your phone may break. So don't do this.
Yes u can,.
Is a ftf file? If so then use flashtool.

It's should work. If you worry, make backup in cwm then wipe and flash your rom. So if there an error u can restore at any time..

Hi guys!
I have an Arc S (Lt18i) stuck on Gingerbread and I would like to have the latest stock ICS version, which I think is 4.0.4.
I understand I have to use a program called flashtool.
Will I be able to flash the ROM using flashtool if my phone isn't rooted and the bootloader is locked?
And could someone point me to a link to download the ROM?
Thank you very much.

No you cant flash kernels whrn your bootloader is locked...
You must unlock & root your mobile 1st.
You can only flash firmware(ftf) files with above configuration...
Press thnx if I helped.

Locked bootloader can flash stock kernel, you cannot flash custom kernel. Locked bootloader does not mean cannot flash kernel.

Ok thank you very much! so I've looked and just to clarify:
I put this file in the "firmwares" folder in c:\flashtool,
press the lightning icon and choose Flashmode,
select Wipe User Data,Wipe Cache and No Final Verification Check
Will I loose all my apps? and if so, can I do it without wiping user data?

Flashing via Flashtool will always wipe data. Unless you have a nandroid backup, it's not possible to keep apps and their data.

Wrong. Flashtool does not require unlock or root to flash stock firmware/kernel or any other part of the FTF file.

i tried rooting the new firmware and it was a success, i now have root and dual recovery installed on stock 4.3
here's the other link i posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48805157#post48805157
here's how. (my device is locked BL)
LINKS UPDATED!! (recovery)
1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=
recovery that i used http://nut.xperia-files.com (download the latest flashable zip for ZL)
6.Re flash .569 ftf exclude everything except kernel and fotakernel.
7.Restore TA Backup.
FOR UNLOCKED BL
just follow step 2, 4, 5, and 6
VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

Hi all
Here i got pre-rooted stock firmware to get our D5303 and D5316 4.4.3 get root
but the D5316 has'nt been tested yet coz i don't own the device..
please feedback if you have any problem and if you are happy..

REQUIREMENT:
rooted stock rom
recovery
How to:
first, your device must be on 4.4.2 or below to be able to root
second, root your device using tool in cross development section...try each one of them
thirdly, after the device rooted, install a recovery
then download the pre rooted firmware for your model and put them in sd card, and flash it trhough recovery..
remember to do a backup first
something that i can't figure out is we can't modify the system app, but if you want to have a sound mod, you can replace the mixer_paths.xml..
and maybe someone can help with that problem, but at last an app that requires root like greenify and xposed instaler will work...
thanks to @zxz0O0 for the tool to create this pre-rooted firmware and @[NUT] for his recovery to flash this flashable zip
Note:-to resolve the problem because of sony RIC, download SonyRICdefeat from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141 and just extract and run the install.bat file...
-backup your system before flashing to keep your data safe
This is great sir but I think It would be better even easier for noob like me if you will provide us tutorial or maybe link of how to downgrade and root 4.4.2(confirmed to work) before going to 4.4.3..thanks in advance

You just need to use flashtool to downgrade, and root with roottoolkit from the cross development section and then isntalling a recovery
is it really difficult just to hit the thanks button, hmm?
