Hi,
I have an Xperia M5 E5603 which is currently build number 30.2.A.0.100 (Marshmallow 6.0) and want to downgrade it to Lollipop 5.1 or Kitkat.
I've used Xperifirm which is showing Latest Firmware build 30.2.A.1.21 - but I'm not sure which version of Android this is?
Can someone please help with the files I need to downgrade UK version? (not central EU, specifically UK)
Thanks!

Thanks! I got the 5.1 Nordic Generic firmware for this particular model and am on the Flashtool download page. I just want to check something so I don't brick the phone:
"C4 and C5 users please do not flash using Flashtool. It will brick the device. M5 users please do use FSC when flashing or it will brick your device."
What does this mean by FSC? Should I use the latest flashtool, are there any additional steps I need to take??
Thanks for the help

Can someone give me the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version? I need it please not rooted version just Global and default version.
I'm gonna try to root it by Flashing whole 4.4.3 ftf then flash 4.4.2 kernel then root with EasyRoot kit. After that I will flash the 4.4.3 kernel back. Is it gonna work??? Is system apps now modifiable?? Like modded Playstore. In Pre-rooted stock 4.4.3 Modded Playstore does not work because of system apps restriction and cannot be modified. Even it is rooted so I want to know if this method will work. Please give me the the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version ftf file. Thank you!

It will not work. I've tested it on my D5303.
Is there any way to make it work? Its sad to be just like that. I need root access to system apps.
Is there any other way to make it work to modify system apps???
Dear Bro,
You can try with Pre Rooted firmware PRF Creator tool. I have not tested but I think you should try. You know, each try tells us "this is not a perfect method"
yes it's gonna work
many tried this, just read the forum
but 4.4.2 it's needed
where to find 4.4.2 rom and kernel stock?
with experifilms I can download only the last rev...
Yesterday I updated my ROOTED Lollipop to the latest build 5.1.1 , but after the update I lost the root , so I tried to root it again with iRoot program , but I got this error message :
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported
Then I tried many many of rooting apps but still facing the same problem and getting the same error !!
I looked for this issue, and I found some sort of fixes but I couldn't understand anything, because I'm not an Android expert.
So can you please give me a solution because I need my device to be rooted. And with an easy and simplest way please !
Device : Sony Xperia Z1 COMPACT
Model Number : D5503
Android version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.4-perf-g4fd66c3
Device build number : 14.6.A.0.368
In short: Flash back to an earlier version (using Flashtool), root it, install NUT's XZ dual recovery, flash a pre-rooted ZIP of LP 5.1.1 (you find some here on xda), and enjoy your rooted android

Thanks for the reply .. For curiosity, can you please explain to me what means this error and why it exist , as I read it was since 4.1.1 , and personally I didn't face it when I updated android to 5.0.2.
Mainly it attempts to unlocked bootloaders. but there is a workaround for the error, so if you had still installed a running recovery the whole backflash was useless
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Originally it was written for nexus and motorola devices, but it fixed my Z1C too, so i guess its not devicebound
I want to ask a thing:
I'm on latest 5.1.1 and want to root.
I think that flashing kernel only of previous (5.0.2) root and then flash a recovery can help me.
It's true? Because if I can root in that way:
I have the full ftf file of 5.0.2 version...how can I flash kernel only of 5.0.2 from flashtool?
Someone can tell me which options I have to check and which don't on flashtool to flash only kernel?
Or can post me a link to a kernel only ftf of 5.0.2 for italian firmware or CE1 ?

No way

There is a kernel for Android n that gives root. Install twrp with that kernel and when upgraded flash it & superuser.
Edit: there are also roms with Android n with root but I think their cameras don't work? Not sure, I prefer 6.0.1

any system update by sony WITHIN EVEN SAME ANDROID VERSION makes ROOTING VOID, and there we are talking about upgrading in to all new version of Android.
however there is a way to keep the root when you update from 6.01 to 7.x
download the latest ftf file for 32.3.A.0.376
extract kernel.sin
send me and i will make rooted kernel for u via rootkernel script by @tobias

Could you please provide me a link for the stock Indian unit firmware & also guide me on flashing which firmware I would be able to receive OTA updates.
I have read on another threads that you need to flash the base version first in order to be eligible for OTA updates.
Thanks in advance!

I flashed the latest chinese stock and was able to recive OTA updates without using a VPN or anything.
Flashing Indian rom is useless. Its not going to relock your bootloader. I tried it myself. To relock bootloader you need to flash Chinese rom zui 1.9 and then flash Indian rom through MiFlash tool. I prefer MiFlash tool coz its the easiest way out there to flash roms. I myself tried it and now I am on locked bootloader. Dont forget to backup your data on your pc before flashing. Other thing is that its a very hard task to download zui 1.9 from Baidu link. ???. Let me know if you need furthur assistance

Ok. How to find the firmware that I need to flash for my model XT-1710-09? It's a lot of firmwares in URL.
Do I need unlocked bootloader and root? or maybe something else?
Maybe there is a step-by-step instruction somewhere?
