Updating to Dogg Rom v4.3

[seltoon]

I come from 4.2 pre-rooted deodexed rom. Can I just flash the zip file of Dogg Rom v4.3 from recovery or do I have to flash. 290 FTF first?
Thanks

I posted it here cause apparently after 3 years of being on XDA, I can't post in developer's section, because I never had anything to ask!

I have not tried from 4.2 stock, but no harm in trying. Just have the latest flashtool ready and a 290 .ftf. You do have an unlocked bootloader as well?

Yes, but I don't have a good Internet at the moment so I wanted to skip the download of FTF

@hamdogg ?

you may have to flash the boot.img from the .zip to get a working recovery? read post 3 of DogGrom!

If it all goes to pot you will want a ftf to flash to get a working phone again... and alwar use protection - if have a backup

Hi all...

umm yes it should work. I've not tried flashing ontop of 4.2.2.... but its a sony base, and the most important files will be replaced when you flash the new ROM...

But like blue said... if it doesn't work then you'll need to

1- flash the .290 FTF
2- then recovery, and then
3 -doggROM..
