[STOCK ROM][FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 10.4.1.B.0.101 R1C Generic US

[scifan]

Here's the Generic North America 4.3 release for Sony. It's untouched, just zipped to pare it down to ~ 450mb chunks.

I've tested this by flashing it to my own device. Even with that, I don't guarantee this to work for you.

If you're locked boot loader, you'll want to look at Nuts thread elsewhere for files to help you stay rooted.

If you're Unlocked boot loader, you can flash this, then flash a kernel with a build-in recovery and root using the update-su file found elsewhere on XDA, then flash the kernel from this FTF again once you're rooted.

C6506_10.4.1.B.0.101_1270-7584 Generic US.zip part 2

Thanks for this! Now will just wait for Nut's or someone who can make a rooted zip and stripped ftf for flashing...

Stupid question, but how do you flash a 2 part Rom in flash tool?

Carefully...or not. Extracting the first zip will create a single FTF file to flash from the 2 zips.

 

[captaink85]

So basically just unzip the 1st folder and that will open the 2nd zip which will create the single ftf?

The zip program should be able to detect that it is a multi-part split zip file and automatically treat the two parts as a single zip file.

7-Zip supports this, if you don't already have a zip program.

 

[scifan]

Yeah, download both, and use 7zip to decompress and you should be golden. I'd have put it up as a single file, but that method of sharing files is limited to ~ 450mb files....

My only issues I am having would be the auto focus on "words". Sometimes it will work well and sometimes it won't ... don't think it's as good as .569.... battery life seems a little bit better... pretty good overall....

Is there a place I can get all the firmware new and old I remember there was a site that did charge money and other sites where it was free.

Any particular version you're looking for?

I want to start with the Bell C6506 4.1 then at least I can flash that back for warranty purposes but then I can root it and flash a pre-rooted 4.3 stock Rom from there.

I definitely don't have that...

I want to say it was 1.67 when I first started working with my 6506... and well, mine was a generic without contract...

No contact but mostly I want the 4.1 so I can root it then update it even if it was a generic firmware I could still use it.
