Tested: Excellent A+ release, stable and fast. Root: Not "officially" supported yet at 20 october 2013.

FTF Decrypt and upload thanks to Chemcup:

I think should work on C6802/6806 as well, maybe something disabled/or/enabled and not usable on the Mobile connection menu, related to LTE/4G band.....

I've tested with success a firmware for C6802 Taiwan (.510) on a European Z Ultra C6833 device. And was working flawless, so i guess this should work on any Ultra.

***I TAKE NO RESPONSABILITY, IF YOU DO NOT OWN A C6833 and flash this on a C6802/6 DO A YOUR OWN RISK.
and beside working, your device may be also recognized as a C6833 after a direct flash of this.

Please follow flashtool guide to flash FTF, and use last version:

Release 0.9.13.0

Available from the developer's site.

http://www.flashtool.net/

General disclaimer: Flashing without Sony Update is a method generally unsupported, and it may void the warranty. So do it on your own risk. If things go wrong, you may try the "repair my phone" option on Sony Pc Companion (PC) / Sony Mac Bridge (MAC). Also, users that do not hurry in updates, may just wait the proper release for their phones to be released into official Sony Xperia channels.

"Ultra"Quick guide on flashing with flashtool (Windows7):

6) Choose lightning icon, and choose FLASH
7) Choose the Firmware from the list
8) Wait the program tells is ready to flash
9) Turn off the device and wait 10 secs
10) SIMULTANEOUSLY: Micro usb connect + Volume down

dont think that .257 will be rootable so fast, will take some time.

downle · Oct 19, 2013

Thanks mate, you could check CDA from about>>diagnose>>device fact and no need to root

Sebring5 · Oct 19, 2013

Sure, i will let you know when i finished everything, also i dunno if i can still get to system prop without the root and the cheated CDA has been replaced with its original again.

You just need to try and root it through Vroot and check if that still works...

@ OP:

Did you actually check that FTF chemcup uploaded? he did say e was't sure if he did it right.
Did you try to flash it on your device?

Thanks,

downle · Oct 19, 2013

Hi all, I tried to flash the version, it works excellent, for those who are not comfortable with the FTF, just change youe CDA to:1275-8026 R11A, you will receive the updates from PCC

waveloom · Oct 19, 2013

Been trying the firmware..

All nasty bugs like phantom clicks, SOD, wifi messed, backlight seems to be gone.

General speed is above good!

I would say A+ for this firmware release.

So here VROOT 1.7.1 for who want to try:

http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

Also Kingo may work as well.. even if it has been unofficalized from rooting methods due to a fishy acting on network, that may put some adware or similar.. so, use at your own risk, but i managed to root .532 without any flaw.

So... you guess that somone not enough confortable with FTF flashing, would be more confortable with root+root explorer+systemprop editing ?

With Kingo is not posible, I have c6833, with one click root also.
With Vroot also,
I rooted it before with Vroot but now I have that on the scrreen of my phone

waveloom · Oct 19, 2013
