Just checked and it appears that there is a new FW certified. I hope this is for the UK generic as I have not received the 7.0.A.3.195 or .197 FW yet. I am still running 7.0.A.1.303.
Why not just flash the ftf?

It has not been released yet, it has only been certified by ptcrb, that does not even gurantee it will be released.
No I mean for 3.195

I do not want to change the UK generic FW I have now. I would rather keep it until I get the official update.

No, this is the original FW. I still have that. It has not been updated yet.

You can find UK .ftfs in the all in one thread if you want to update to 7.0.A.3.195

The 195 firmware in the all-in-one thread is for Vodafone UK (and one for O2 UK I've just seen added.)
Just like Batman, I'm waiting for the generic UK version. Up to you though SWFlyerUK.
Any difference between them?
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.

Thats fine, but all you have to do is remove the bloatware and you will end up with a debranded FW, that is of course if you want to root, and on this FW you need to unlock the bootloader to do that.

none at all, you will just get some extra vodafone bloatware apps that can be removed with titanium backup, again with the proviso you want to root.
Thanks for the quick response, determined not to mess with this phone, so it's rooted but will keep bootloader locked and stock firmware

Thats fine, but if you update to .195 you will have to unlock the bootloader in order to root it again, unless a new exploit is found.
Hi all please help me
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.
Orange blocks fastboot and assumes simlock.
can i unlock My bootloader? if so, how.
due to the original method: allowed-NO
(so sorry my english is poor)
Goto the dial pad and type
#*#*service*#*#
Look for the menu to see if bootloader unlocking is allowed.
If it is then follow my guide in the all in one thread on how to unlock via the official Sony way

bootloader unlock allowed:No
It is therefore another way?

No, not that I know of. Sorry.
Can someone who has an unbranded Xperia Z with UK FW please dump/create a FTF and post the ROM here?
The only generic FW posted here is from a demo device unfortunately.
Thanks.
I got mine from Carphone Warehouse earlier today and I haven't touched it yet so I might be able to help. Not sure how to make a ftf from it though..

That'd be awesome though it's a bit of work...
The basic instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27031352
Note that doing this WILL re-flash your phone (because the update can't be stopped after it has downloaded) so you may not want to go ahead.
You will also need to use the beta Flashtool for Xperia Z to actually decrypt the files. Then you can load them up in full Flashtool and proceed to make FTF out of it (I think, didn't do this myself, I stopped after decrypting them).
I would suggest not doing this if you're not tech savvy.
+1 for this, im expecting mine to be vodafone branded, that'll annoy me pretty quickly!

In the meantime you can safely flash the French generic firmware posted here. It's full-retail and I've been using it. As all firmwares in this part of the world are multilingual anyway there isn't much difference.
But yeah, UK FW would be nice...
Question: if I flash non-branded firmware (French for example) and then use Sony Update Service to re-install my firmware, which firmware will it download? French unbranded? The branded one I had before from my carrier? UK unbranded?

It will read your current version, so if you flashed french, SUS would give you french

Looks simple enough. I'll have a look at doing this in a little while. At the moment, I'm just doing some modding of SystemUI which I'll post about when I'm done. Then I can sort this out for you.

Wrong. Simply unplug after the download is complete and your device will remain untouched.

It re-downloads the currently running one. If you already reflashed the phone and didnt note down your SI you may never go fully back to stock if you cant find the FTF of the exact firmware you were originally running.

Hi, I have this problem which is, i bought my Sony Xperia Tablet Z from China, and i believe it is locked onto the asian software which is (i think) causing me unable to use Play Store. Is there a way that i can change the software back to the UK or Europe software? It's really annoying that i cannot download apps from the play store.
Somebody out there please help me!

Hello from Australia, still on KitKat, the ISP's haven't even received Lollipop here and its not looking like we will get an update any time soon...
So i have been thinking about CM12.1.
From what it looks like, there are only nightlies available....
Is it worth getting on that?
Are they safe enough?
Are there any other methods of getting lollipop on my device as a daily driver?
How would i go about installing CM12.1 on the Xperia Z1?
Cheers,
Marcel
Why don't you flash an official lollipop firmware? (from another carrier or a generic one). CM12.1 still have some bugs...
Search in "General" or "Android development" for stock lollipop "ftf" or "pre-rooted firmware" it's easy and safe to install

wouldnt one from another carrier (have to be a different country as the only 2 in australia dont have anything) not work with networks here? i have read in lots of places all the builds that people offer for the Z1 have issues with network and the camera. would all features work??
Well, just check frequencies...
Here in Italy we can flash anything that is EURO-LTE... Just have a look for GLOBAL-LTE rom... I think it might actually work. If it doesn't, you aren't bricking nothing, just flash 4.4.4 ftf...
I also suggest you to use xperifirm to check and download the ftfs

Question is does Australia use LTE or 4G? Because I tried a LTE variant on my UK handset and it wouldn't work, I had to create my own pre-rooted rom to allow me to use 4G.
4G LTE is not the same thing? [emoji19]

Hi All,
I have purchased a Z3+ in the UK on contract through O2, and am quite frankly sick of the O2 branding on it, as well as having to wait longer after Android Updates are released.
Where can I download a stock Z3+ Android version, and flash it into my device without rooting/unlocking and loosing any features or voiding my warranty?
Thanks in advance! :good:
Cheers,
Seb
Because there are plenty of howtos on every android related site the answer is short: Get Flashtool and XperiFirm.
With XperiFirm you can download an unbranded firmware and with Flashtool you can flash it to your device. No root, etc. required. The firmwares you download with XperiFirm are downloaded directly from Sony servers and no data is modified/added; the original files just get decrypted and repacked in a new and easy to handle format (one FTF file).

Thanks a LOT an3k, much appreciated.
Since I am running Mac, I won't be able to use XperiFirm I'm afraid, but Flashtool works! Do you know if anyone has made the appropriate Firmware available for the X3+, even if it is slightly outdated (i.e. 5.0.1 - can update via Playstore later, no?)?
Thanks,
Seb

You're welcome. I just got my Z3+ today but have plenty of experience with the Z2.
For the Z2 there was a stick thread that collected all the FTF files created by users and there is one (not sticky yet) for the Z3+ but it's not that well maintained and supported as the Z2 one was. In fact it only lists Asian firmwares and those are all branded.
I'll download the most recent unbranded UK firmware, create a FTF and upload it to Google Drive so you can use that one. Should be there in ~30 minutes.

In the thread I mentioned, it includes the Customized UK firmware (1295-7703). But it's the older version. Anyways, might be good for you to download the latest .24 and then share the link here.

Oh, you're absolutely right. I thought all these versions are for the asian provider "ChoiMobile" but after taking a closer look I saw it's a forum
The latest for UK is E6553_28.0.A.7.27_1295-7703_R6A.ftf which I'm currently uploading.
I'm surprised that the Z2 already got Android 5.1.1 (yesterday) but the Z3+ is still on 5.0.2
Wow thanks a lot for all this, much appreciated!
The firmware you're uploading, that's the untouched UK firmware I can flash straight away via flashtool?
