I just got a used Sony Xperia Z3C from Japan (Docomo SO-02G). I tried to convert it into D5803 with UK customized firmware by following instruction from an old YouTube video but I failed and bricked the device. Luckily, someone else repeated the procedure again and successfully installed the same firmware in the handset. It’s running okay with exception to few bugs but there’s a problem.

I directly downloaded the file from an old tutorial and it was 5.1.1 Lollipop where Z3C can be upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow. Now I’m afraid if I attempt an OTA upgrade, it’ll either end up installing SO-02G (Docomo Japan) latest OS or brick the device once again. Some people say that I should go for update and it will only upgrade it to Marshmallow for D5803 since it’s already running Lollipop for the same version. Others say I’ll have to find a latest firmware for D5803 and start the procedure all over again.
If I must install another firmware, which one should I choose? Is Global Generic version a better option? I’m from Pakistan where Z3C was never officially launched, so I can take advantage of not having country/region specific apps which are normally loaded in non-global models. Look at the size; 1.05GB vs. 1.59 GB.
And last but not least, how do I know the firmware file I create using Sony FlashTool is of the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0 for Z3C?
I’d prefer a stable stock OS as I am a normal phone user, not a developer, hacker or a gamer. I think after upgrading to Marshmallow, there won’t be any major system update.
I guess images gone missing because system doesn't allow new members to include urls :/

I just have a quick question about the firmware on my SP (C5302, Bought through Cincinnati Bell and it is carrier locked). I keep seeing things on here about the latest firmware for root and roms etc, so I check mine and its still on 12.0.A.1.257. I have checked via ota and pc companion and it says I am up to date. I have heard the later firmware fixed the weak wifi signal and a few other things. Am I able to use the new firmware or am I stuck on the older one?
If i am able to use the latest firmware what would be the best way to switch to it?.
Thanks in advance

Being unlocked and rooted alone will not prevent you from seeing the OTA notification. However, modifications to the /system and/or /recovery partition will more than likely cause the OTA update to fail when you try to install it.
Most people use fastboot/mfastboot to flash a clean stock version of /system and /recovery (assuming you're using TWRP or similar for root access), then take the OTA to get the update. Once updated, reflash TWRP with fastboot/mfastboot, flash SuperSU from TWRP and you're back in business. This is how I upgraded my rooted and unlocked XT1060 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.

What @fury683 has posted is the correct answer..
One thing I will caution you about... IF that is Lollipop, you might want to take a wait and see... to make sure rooting is the same. And/Or do some research first.
Initially, due to security changes, rooting lollipop needed a custom kernel. Later that was supposedly solved. But I haven't followed enough to know the complete details.
Chances are good that once you get Lollipop on there, you want be able to downgrade to 4.4.4 or lower.
Better wait for people to confirm first then. I feel naked when my phone is not rooted.

And actually, I'm confused as to why you are posting that picture... 212.44.26 is KitKat 4.4.4 per Moto -> https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/100576
Hello,
like the title descripes, i just want to know how i can receive OTA updates again. I'm currently running on stock Android 5.0.2.
The device has an unlocked bootloader and has been rooted(wich has already been undone).
Did i flash the wrong firmware since i had to manually install it because the device was running on cm 12.1?
I know i could simply install the 5.1 firmware but since i don't want to loose all my data and i don't want to **** arround with backups and stuff,
i hope i can get the OTA update to work again.
hope you glory it magicans are able to help me
kind regards
P.S.
Here is a screenshoot with some infos:

How do you know that you won't get any updates with the firmware you've got? As far as I know, Motorola hasn't released the 5.1 update yet, at least not for the XT1068 model that is sold in Germany.
For reasons of comparison, I am on 5.0.2 with my XT1068 as well (never rooted, never unlocked BL), although it states the Baseband-Version to be: "MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST"
(funny how my device is always recognized as XT1068, although the "1032" suggests it to have the Baseband firmware of another device).
I also have different kernel versions and build numbers:
Code:
Kernel: 3.4.42-gdd242b0
[email protected]#1
Fri Jan 23 13:23:41 CST 2015
System version: 22.26.1.titan_retde.retdeall.en.DE retde
Build number: LXB22.46-28.1
This is an unbranded device, bought in Germany. My system updater app always states that my system software is up to date, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for 5.1 to be released on my XT1068 so I can get it OTA.
But basically, there is no reason to believe, your device has already received an update, so it may very well be that you'll get one when it's released. Or, if not, then you may see if you can find another firmware (i.e. the one I have, which runs quite smoothly - I've had only one or two unexpected reboots since I've got the device, and never had any other troubles), then why shouldn't it get an update? Provided that you don't deactivate the Motorola OTA app, which needs to be working for the phone to know when it gets an update.
Hello is it possible to downgrade this new firmware release?
I have already tried all other stock ROMS and ODIN FAILED all time.
I just want to confirm if its possible to downgrade, if yes, then how to go back to 5 1 1.
Thank you for reading

I think it is better to prevent user to downgrade their Phones. As you know, since Android 5.1.1 released, Google replace the Samsung Reactivation Lock with their Factory Reset Protection. But in the lower versions of the android, there is many way to bypass this protection on Samsung Devices. Samsung fixed it on their security patches. Just imagine that if user can downgrade their phone to any version of android, when a thief steals the phone, they can easily to bypass it and make the phone become theirs.
Thank you for replying but I am still clueless if I can downgrade that specific android version I showed in screenshot above.
no one?
Have you tried TEKHD's stock-rooted 5.1.1?
You cannot downgrade... Once bootloader is upgraded there is no way back. You can try but highly you'll end with bricked device ... Also if you try custom roms they wont boot due to mismatch bootloader and recovery. Maybe if you search google you will find a way to do it but if i was you i would not take the risk

I may have installed a wrong version, or maybe I changed my firmware region, idk...Please help me...
Hi There!
Same situation (well maybe, i bought my phone used so i can only assume its the same):
i have 10.1.0.132 on my Pro Plus.
Hisuite says that i am on the latest official Developer version (!!!).
I found this YT movie that sounds promising only that the download offered is for P40 Pro (no +).
But maybe it gets us into the right direction...

Okay, i have got confirmation that the seller of the phone DID do a downgrade in order to install GMS.
Hi then somehow failed and diceded to erase GMS attempts.
So thats why my phone is on the version it has now ( 10.1.0.132 ).
Here is a screenshot what HiSuite has to say, it seems to think that i am on a developer version.
(Maybe thats true, i do not know what kind of versions are / were used for the downgrade).
Screenshot basically says:
"You are now using the latest official Developer version" and then states the version number as:
Current version;: 10.1.0.132(C432E2R3P3) (Official).
As theYT video above states there seems to be some magic USB FW version taht is able to upgrade the phone to a version thats again OTA compatible.
Oh i wish i woul dhave that version for my P40 Pro Plus
Anyone?
