It takes me 2 hours in installing xperia c 2305 deodexed rom pls help me.
hi Somesh,
I am a beginner so please don’t mind if my question sound stupid.
Your step says: “Now Download Xperia C Deodexer, which is a zip file which must be extracted first in the place you can remember.”
Where is this to be downloaded, PC or Phone?
Which software I need to connect and command this operation through PC?
Bluestack is it BtvStack ?
It should be downloaded on PC buddy!
Do i need to change my recovery mode or stock may do to flash the zip ? . . . Cause changing recovery will have a lot of work cause i have s1 boot verison .68 . . And dont have pc to change it to .6 or .13.
Thanks . . .im new with this phone.
So better first install custom recovery! But having Computer to change bootversion is compulsory! Without changing the bootversion do not proceed to install CWM on Xperia C else you will Hard brick your device!
i need stock rom flashable zip plz give me link
Stock Flashable is not yet made, but you can try is to Flash the FTF only!
It is taking so much time to reboot! Please tell me, naturally ..how much time will it take to reboot??
It takes around 10 minutes for first boot up, therefore if it is taking more time then simply flash backup and then follow the same procedure using CWM method!
i tried deodex xperia c, unfortunaly usb disconnected after some tie mobile tuck at xperia Loading.
what to do please replay..
Hold Volume Up and Power Button Until Phone goes off and as soon as it goes off! Just Press on Volume Down Button such that you are connected to PC via USB! This will boot you into flashing mode! And this time flash B.2.16 firmware and thereafter Deodex using CWM firmware! This will help!
After uninstalling FB n office suite apk by titaniumbackup, i can’t used any program on my xperia C.. i need help..pliss..
Try installing both the things again, hope that might solve the problem!
Hi Somesh I have successfully flash cwm zip file then my phone is deodex can I delete zip file in sdcard
Yes You can!

This is because you are flashing Wrong Custom ROM ! or ELse you have not yet installed CWM!
Hey, I want to ask. How can I know that my xc has deodexed? Pls answer my question 🙂
You wil not be able to find any file with extension .odex in system app folder! Which means you have successfully deodexed!
Hello , i’m stuck at the “Installer Xperia C 2305 Deodexed Rom” it says
x daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 x

Go for CWM Method!
Use CWM Method to Deodex Stock Xperia C
Man iflashed the cwm but idownloaded lollipop systemui from xda and its not working why but my rom ithink its deodex does that mean my room isnt deodex or what
You need to deodex using CWM method first! Then it will work fine!
Can i flash the deoderer zip to Z3 rom or it has to flashed only to the stock rom?because the mods and framework are not working.
Z3 rom is pre deodexed so no need not to worry
how to know that my rom is deodexed or not ??
can I install dual sim 3G to my xperia c, build 16.0.B.2.13? cause my stock rom only work in build 16.0.B.2.13.

Well you can try it. But take a backup. Because it might cause bootloop
i want to deodex my xperia c latest build with cwm (with the help of information lord) but not yet created any backup.
so i can proceed and flash the zip or first backup?
i dont have much space in my sd card to complete the backup.so have to buy a new one
Yes you can proceed with CWM method. It will not cause any harm.
Will it delete all files from the memory card?
Nope nothing will be deleted. Proceed with cwm method
Hi! Im about to do this, my xperia c has a build number of 16.0.B.2.13, do i need to get .16 first before i will flash “Xperia C Deodexed CWM Flashable ZIP”(the updated one)? please reply
Well if you are not on the latest build then this can create problem! I would request you to first take a backup and then proceed! This will also guide others if they are struck with the same problem!
So if you download the flashable zip and flash it using CWM ,you won’t have any data loss right??
Nope!

Nope! z3 is pre deodexed!
Thanks bro
Hi there,
When you say SD Card of Xperia C.. What do you exactly mean?
Internal Memory of Xperia C
Or External Memory Card…
Because Internal Memory, I have already reduced the memory size using your website help…
External Memory bro!

I have created flashable zip now which do not cause any data loss too. Just download Deodexed Xperia C which is flashable from here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603596
Is this flashable through CWM?
yes 🙂
Has this been tested.. Or this is yet to be?
Tested and Approved!
