Xperia SP 5306
Carrier is Rogers Canada
Rooted with towelroot successfully
Have a LOCKED bootloader - am unable to unlock
Recoveries successfully installed
Running Sony's stock 4.3
Did a full nandroid backup using TWRP
Tried flashing this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-207-rdz-stock-rom-t2835579
Cleared caches as directed, then tried to flash rom off of SD card, it just said 'Failed'
I then just rebooted phone, and it got stuck at 'Sony' screen
Rebooted with the reset button at the back, and was able to repair it using SUS for mac (I have a macbook)
I am currently downloading flashtool and stock Rogers .ftf file for 5306 off of this site: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Since upgrading to .266 my phone has been super laggy and slow. All I would like is to downgrade to any stock based ROM, that is quick and gets decent battery life.
Any advice would be appreciated! Did I try the wrong ROM? Any idea what I did wrong?
Thank you all so much for reading
