Official method works fine for me. Is bootloader unlock allowed shown as 'yes' in the service menu?
[FTF] SGP321 10.1.1.A.1.307 Unbranded

Then i'm afraid your bootloader isn't unlockable. You can try though, some users at the Xperia Z forum managed to get their bootloaders unlocked even though it says no. Not sure if it will do anything weird or nasty if it fails, so don't hold it against me on that.it says: NO
Even though the service menu says the bootloader is not unlockable, some Xperia Z users managed to get their bootloaders unlocked officially. You can try that, but I'm not sure if it will do anything nasty if it fails.
I thought it was fresh 307 it came with file commander and other stuff..
Sony stock always come with these apps, whether they're needed or not. Usually they can be uninstalled.
Is it just me, or is that Mega - website- just utter crap. some1 needs to give me a lesson in using it and yes I am on chrome.
Mega is actually one of the best file hosts right now. If I made you use dev-host, you would complain about speed, if I used Dropbox, you would complain about the public links being down due to high bandwidth, yada yada...
Also, a how-to on using Mega:
1. Open site
2. Wait for it to load. It uses super crazy ninja magic powers or something, and good things come to those who wait.
3. See that red button with the word 'Download'? Click it.
4. ???
5. Profit!
Well being on 10 Mbits connections I can get those files in like a minute or two. google docs too have some impressive download speed. Btw pandaball mine didnt came with file commander. (Sweden)
Strange. I've always have had those apps preinstalled, so I assumed that it was standard across all customisations since my tablet is definitely unbranded.
About Google Drive: yes, I have used it and it is crazy fast, however my Google Drive is nearing max capacity so I had to use another file host, and Mega seemed like the no-brainer. You can increase file download speeds by increasing the number of simultaneous connections for downloads
I have tried to download this .ftf file on several occasions but always get the "Temporarily unavailable" message
Can you re-post or is there an alternative link I can use ?
Thanks for your help

The link I tried was in the OP https://mega.co.nz/#!UZBhTZKQ!B4A753kOZEwPczt5hFWc1V-62eJzLIK8a4v6YOx_ERE
Not sure why there's this problem. I got it too. Uploading to Google Drive, will update OP once it's up.

md5 checksum for ftf file
Hi
Can someone kindly share a md5sum of the ftf file.

It wouldn't help (for the mega mirror anyway, not sure about Gdrive) because mega uploads parallel streams, so the files are basically broken into parts and uploaded simultaneously and stitched back at mega's servers, so the md5 sums would be different. For the google drive version though, the md5 sum should be 3d801b4f07b6dd89e471b3bfec7c5725.
Thank you :good:

Sorry but noob question: I presume flashing unbranded firmware would not be able to unlock my sim (i.e. to use with other networks)?
Pray pray I'm wrong :cyclops:
