Rooting "might" void your warranty. I'm not responsible if anything happen to your phone (nothing should go wrong,, if something do go wrong, just repeat the whole process).

For those, who has no blob_fs directory, there should be somewhere under the db directory. After flashing this directory will be here.

And for me, the advenced tab was disabled, and i found it somewhere under Tools menu.

warm regards

Good day

This post is to help those that just lilke me struggled to get the ftf files for their Xperia Z C6606.

These are T-Mobile US Branded Stock Xperia Z Frimwares

Download Links:

Android 4.3 Build Number 10.4.C.0.814

Download Here

Android 4.2.2 Build Number 10.3.1.E.0.191

Download Here

Currently, I am using the C6606 but with the Kitkat firmware made for C6616.

it works fine, the battery drain is fixed by updating Google play services.

In case you want a link to it, Download HERE (4.4.2)

Report in case links do not work. 

Hopefully this helps someone
