Seriously you will lose much more money trade in at Sony centers. Be prepare for at least rm300-500 additional topup vs what you can resell yourself outside

I would say LG optimus g pro n Huawei Mate is even better than Sony XZ, XzU n htc1 in its OS stability n UI smoothness.. htc1 I find is the worst especially blinkfeed is slight jerky but many users choose to ignore it as blinded by phone supposedly beauty!!

Mx player pro

Is safe to flash any country ftf ( prefarably Europe or Asian)...I have even flash LTE rom on my 3g XZU but cannot get LTE to work. Make sure you download correct phone model
Use FLASHTOOL program ( google for it) . Many sites teach you how to use. Basically install program in PC n launch it. Press the leftmost icon n select flashmode. Select your ftf file. Switch off phone n connect to PC by pressing down vol down( you need google to countercheck whether use vol up or down) n firmware will be flashed over. When finished disconnect phone and restart. Before flashing copy the ftf file to PC flashtool/firmware folder
In the flashtool window at top right you can untick wipe data to keep your data. If you are moving from custom rom better to wipe data to avoid reboot

Mainly stock roms -- you have to read the relevant thread itself to find out..I rarely see guys post ftf files for custom roms

Flashing ANY ftf files will always cause you to lose root
Why don't you just flash chainfire supersu zip ( just google this is forum XDA) in recovery mode to get root ??

It only cost rm38 ( based on Z ultra) inclusive installation. Why go thro trouble to save a few ringgit??
