I'm on T-Mobile and I'm stuck with 4.1.2 for now. I think my carrier is waiting to just jump to 4.3. Be patient my friend.

If their site says it then I don't know. I know Sony's site says the most current is 4.2.2 and T-Mobile hasn't come considered it haha.

ok so i was stupid and installed a what i guess is a custom frimware of 4.2.2 on my xperia z and i used flashtool to do it with flashmode. but it didnt work and now my phone just keeps rebooting, it boots up to the lock sceen and then says the homesreen crashed and then shutsdown and reboots. and cause i flashed it my stock recovery was removed so i cant even boot into recovery mode. i have found the stock version of 4.2.1 so if someone can help me and tell me of a way other then flashing to install the stock version back on please tell me. i really need your guys help here. andi should add that i cant get to the settings on the phone eather. all i can currently do is unlock it and pull down the notification panel. so please help guys

I'll be back with the 4.2.2 rom I used... You must exclude the baseband when flashing with Flashtool. I've been running it for a month now. Give me a sec.

ok ill try but i cant even put the usb debugging mode on and shit. but i do have a 2gb sd card. is there something we can do with that like put a recovery mode on it or something?

If it keeps rebooting hold the power and volume up key to restart it but keep holding it until you feel like 3 consecutive vibrations. Let go. It should be off then. Now in Flashtool place that Spain rom in the firmwares folder. Go to flash it like you did the other rom but exclude the baseband (you can exclude data if you want to keep your apps and data). Once they tell you to plug in the phone just hold the volume down button for 10 seconds and then plug it in the computer. Should work fine.

it didnt work. flashtool gave me an error and then cancele the flash and then closed. so could you help me install a recovery onto the sd card so i can try and restore i that way? or is there another program i can use. cause the only way i can have a chance on even connecting it to the computer is when its off and then put into flash mode which it does but keeps failing in flashtool

ackmedslayer55 · Oct 24, 2013

ill try one more time with the phone connected in flash mode

boomer_jmoore · Oct 24, 2013

Have you installed the drivers for your phone in the Flashtool folder? Install the Xperia Z drivers

yup i did that and tried again and it somewhat worked i guess. its doing the same thing but and its saying system process isnt responding and its going though the reboot loop again

boomer_jmoore · Oct 24, 2013

Try and install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43537049

After that gets you into a bootloop try the Spain one again (exclude the baseband). Wipe even the data though. That may be an issue.

i dont want custom roms anymore i just want the standard stock version of 4.1.2 that i can use to get my phone working or if you can show me how to fix it using an sd card that would be great to

That link is the T-Mobile official rom.

I've only used Flashtool so I know no other way. To be honest that Spain rom is well worth using if you get it going.

ok well my phone is canadian and from bell so could be why it keeps ******* up?

boomer_jmoore · Oct 24, 2013

Well to be honest when you exclude the baseband it shouldn't mess with your connection settings.

ok i got the stock rom back on it and my phone is now up and running

boomer_jmoore · Oct 24, 2013

Your should try the Spain rom. It's seriously worth it.

ackmedslayer55 · Oct 24, 2013

Ok so I spent all day messing around and finally got my phone working again but I still want 4.2.2 on my xperia so if anyone knows of a custom Rom or official for my modal that's eather Canadian or us so it's in English and can guild me through it so it doesn't mess up my phone again then please point me to a site. And hey if I can even download it right to my xperia so I don't half to flash or anything that would be awesome anyways my modal number is c6616 and I'm with bell and my phone is from Canada.

As suggested in #16, use the generic Spanish firmware but exclude the baseband when flashing. All EMEA firmwares include English (UK) as a language option.
