[STOCK ROM][FTF] Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.1.A.1.253 Generic DE (Unbranded/Germany)

[SE_iCEQB]

I think you'll first have to flash 10.1.A.1.434 Generic DE, root it and then perhaps you can do an OTA update to 10.1.1.A.1.253 (if available) and retain root.

Is 253 available over OTA in germany?

Help Please

Can anyone help me change to this from a rooted .253? I want to use the sony account manager.

What do I need to do?

Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209637
And install it as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Root your phone with this (if you want): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

And make the .235 update OTA.
Make sure you don't remove any bloatware after you isntalled .434, because the OTA won't work if anything is missing!
Root will remain after the .235 OTA update.

No other way to change to this from a rooted .235? other than downgrade, root, then update OTA?

Well I don't know
I did it like this and it worked w/o any issues and only took like 20 minutes to do.
I'm no expert so I didn't wanted to experiment to much, so I took the "long" road.

All good, thanks for the pointers

One question. If I change something in build.prop e.g. for NFC icon am I still able to update via ota?
I didn't change any other system file.

Thanks for your work.

Is it possible to delete the pre-installed apps (McAfee) without root?

Thanks for your work.

yes it's possible if it's bundled app (not a system one). In particular, McAfee is bundled, so no problem to delete it via standard app manager.

Why don't you just install a customization that has been updated to 4.2.2?

4.2.2 is officially released and rolled out for the xperia Z with vodafone branding.
I have this version here but no update available - is it normal ?

Which Vodafone branding do you have? Could you please check your customization number (can be found in your service menu: dial *#*#7378423#*#* > 'Service info' > 'Software info' > 'Customization Version') and look it up in this list?
