Download and install latest Nougat for Sony Xperia via XperiFirm 5.0.0 Z5, Z4, Z3, Z2, X series

Updated October 12, 2018: Download latest XperiFirm 5.3.7 for all Sony Xperia devices with better stability. XperiFirm lets you download and install full stock firmware FTF Sony files based on Android 9.0 Pie and Android 8.0 Oreo.

The major Japanese smartphone manufacturer Sony has been rolling out the latest Android 9.0 Pie and 8.0 Oreo firmware update for many of the Xperia XZ and XA series devices. Normally, your device would receive the software update over-the-air (OTA). However, for the users who have rooted their Android or setup a TWRP recovery, the OTA wonโ€™t be of much use. Hence, you will need the full stock firmware and use it to restore Sony Xperia device to complete stock.

The Xperia Z or X series stock firmware files come in FTF format. This is a special format designed exclusively for the Sony smartphones. You can download it using the XperiFirm to get the direct download link from the Sony servers or you can simply connect your Sony Xperia device via Sony PC Companionย and flash the latest updates. However, using the companion, you wonโ€™t be able to get the firmware files for yourself. This is where the XperiFirm comes in. Download the latest XperiFirm v5.3.7 and see how to use it.
