Flash your phone
How to manually update, downgrade, root 2013 Xperias
Hi Friend,
Thanks for suggestion. but unfortunately, i dont have enough experience about android phones and also flashing them. i have checked the link about "how to flashing" and watched some youtube videos about flashing phone. here are 2 steps so far i understood about flashing phone :
1st, i have to have a flashtool ( there is one at the link you noticed, is it ok for my xperia Z1 ? )
2nd, i have to have a firmware file which will come with some generic bla bla file..if yes, where i can find the correct one for my phone ?
Let me tell my problem in detail : i had problem on opening googleplay app. first i installed it by "sony select", because it wasnt already installed when i bought my phone. So i checked this case with customer service and told them the story. here is their reply :

Dear Rıfkı DAL,
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia support.
First of all we are sorry to answer your mail with delay.
With regards to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that certain services may not be available outside the country of original purchase, for example, due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior which is different from equivalent models sold in other countries. Please note China, Burma, Sudan, Iraq, North Korea, and Syria are non-Google countries.
According to your inquiry, since Google has terminated the cooperation with China Mainland, any Google related function such as Market (Advanced version Google Play) and Google sync can not be found for Sony Xperia mobile Mainland China official product.
We suggest that you refer to other 3rd party application providers. You may download applications to your computer first and then transfer them to your phone, then go to application installer to install into your phone."
