[STOCK ROM] [FTF] (C6602) v4.2.2 10.3.A.0.423 Generic US (Unbranded USA)

[HoOnZ]

Hello!

I just downloaded this latest firmware using the Sony PC Companion, decrypted and used Flashtool beta to repackage it to FTF. Tried it on my own Sony Xperia Z and everything works great!

Please use the Tutorial on how to flash the Stock FTF ROM using Flashtool

Download the two files from Dev-Host and use WinRAR to join them together. Just unzip both files in the same folder and let WinRAR do its thing.
File #1: http://d-h.st/F2n (WinRAR Archive 237 MB)
File #2: http://d-h.st/Ebf (WinRAR Archive 512 MB)

Some things to note;

- You do not have to be rooted to flash this with Flashtool
- You can flash this with either a locked or unlocked bootloader
- Your Xperia Z's bootloader stays unlocked thus keeping the Bravia Engine
- Customization code for this firmware is 1271-0119_R5B

Hope this helps out people who are looking for the Generic US ROM to flash on their Xperia Z.

I would appreciate a Thanks if this post was useful to you.

Enjoy!

@HoOnZ: only 236.66 MB? You must have done something wrong. Please download the latest version of Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/. Flashtool beta is now deprecated. Follow this guide to create the FTF: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool
@salmankhawar and @x102x96x: remove the full quote from your post. This is ridiculous.

Big oops! I apologize for not putting the second file. I fell asleep just after I posted this last night.

Unzip both files to the same folder and use WinRAR to join them together and make the FTF file.

Thanks!

He said FTF, so no, it's not a flashable ZIP... Stock firmware comes in FTF files, custom ROMs in flashable ZIP. Just flash the FTF with Flashtool.

7-Zip does not support spanned ZIP files (.zip, .z01, .z02, ...), but WinRAR should work fine. Perhaps you have a corrupted download? Check if the file sizes (in bytes) and/or MD5 sums match:

Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01
536870912 bytes
MD5: 1dcf1a767c9f92993143746b82f84e4f

Yes, I checked them last night. I even tried it here on my work computer and everything went through. Make sure both the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.zip and the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01 files are on the same folder. Have WinRAR open the Zip file and extract! WinRAR should be able to know what to do. Try it out again!

I download "Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01" via IDM when it start to download .z01 file change format to .zip
i don't it s converting or just find compatible software and show

problem is here >
when i try to extract smaller part it asks for .z01 part and winRAR cannot find another file !!!

and when i select that converted (.zip of bigger file) > Error; file corrupted !

maybe i should uninstall WinRAR and all app that support .zip and ... and then download it

IDM does not convert anything, it just changes the filename extension to .zip because it recognizes a ZIP file. To extract this archive successfully, the filename extensions may not be changed, so disable IDM or change it back to .z01 after downloading.

I've noticed it's much quicker and more responsive than previously on my Z
