I am from India as well and I used KK for Russia and everything is just working as fine. Although if you need rooting you may result in void warranty.
(only if you root). But since I cannot live without root, i took the risk and boom it worked.....!!!!!

Hey,
How's the performance?
Is it worth getting some solid performance wit rooting.
I really love its form factor over other high end 5 inchers.
Are there sufficient developers for this variant? Coming down from Nexus series, I do want to feel
the naked stock android with the Mega form factor. Have you faced any major issue with flashing ROMs. Wha's the success % of unbricking it? I really need some boost or motivation as I am in a fix whether should go ahead or get hands on lg g2. BTW, what you say about getting unlocked US version or the Indian one?
Do put some insights, have been caught up in this major smartphone spoilt with so many choices.

I think it is UK, Europe for sure. Unbranded, too.
I actually flashed a C6802 Firmware on my C6833 which took away LTE, but left everything else in tact.
Unfortunately from what I have read the C6802 simply lacks the LTE chip on the SOC so actually there is no way to get LTE.
But feel free to try. If all fails you can still always flash back.

I am battling a different problem at the moment, so cannot try today.
I hope someone has the time to try it out, since from what I understand, C6802 does indeed have same SoC as C6833, which is SD800 MSM8974
There were discussions that 'maybe' the antenna could be different, but my gut feeling says it is the same.

Can it be that the your prop file is not modified? I have no idea if this helps, just a guess..

Unbranded does not mean no bloatware. It just means, that it is not a carrier branded version like vodafone or t-mobile, o2 or whatever with their special software installed.
What you want is a vanilla android version for the Xperia Z ultra.
Look in the development forums. Maybe someone is working on this.
With root access you can also delete unwanted apps, though in the newer android versions, you can also disable unwanted apps what essentially freezes them.
lol i don't mean bloatware in that way i am fine with sonys UI its just o2 version has o2 bootup and loadsa of o2 software pre installed and i would like to flash it to the international unbranded carrier free
if this what i am looking for?

Urgently Need Middle East Stock 510/532 FTF Rom File For Flashing...

I'm stuck on the current 532 Chinese version and it's not letting me upgrade or downgrade.
Been over 6 hours flashing and flashing and I'm having problems with the HK/Asian versions of the stock rom.
Since downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 my sim no longer works regardless. I'm not getting any signal regardless of what I do.
I bought my Xperia Z Ultra from UAE and would preferably want to use a UAE/Middle Eastern Rom.
Previously I had the FTF file for the Middle East and it worked wonders for me. Unfortunately I've removed and can no longer find it.
Should anyone be kind enough to upload the FTF file or even guide me to a working link I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Here you go
XPERIA Z ULTRA C6802_14.1.B.1.532_GENERIC MEA.ftf
Oh, it looks like you've lost your IMEI, and that's why you're not getting a signal. This happens when you downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2. I have no idea why it happens, but it does, so follow this guide to restore your IMEI.
the problem may appear in some models. I downgraded mine from 4.3 to 4.2 without such problem.
p.s you can flash any firmware to your phone, no need to be in UAE. I live in Vietnam and I flashed European 4.3 on mine.

True, however, I had issues with the HK edition of the rom. It had some corruption or file missing since it would't allow me to properly root and when trying to boot in CWM it would't work.

Correct, my imei was 000000000000000. I will refer to the link you provided. Thanks.
I've successfully UPGRADED to 532 Middle East version. :laugh:
Thanks to everyone for their support and response.
Unfortunately I'm not that technical with regards to flashing and such and usually I spend hours if not a whole day trying to solve a simple issue.
Usually when attempting downgrading, flashing and changing roms and using custom firmware I get stuck half way through.
This ends up with a half working phone, boot loops, etc...
This happened when trying to get the 290 firmware, rooted with root. The part with regards to using a dual recovery was not too clear and this resulted in a bricked device.
I'm now back to stock 532, rooted & happy. To be honest, I didn't see any big differences with 532 and 290.
I cannot live without root. My bootloader is locked and unlocking it is a pain in the ass, lol.
I will patiently wait for the proper update of Android 4.4 Kitkat until I decide on upgrading.
I can only hope there is an easy rooting method of 4.4 when it's released. I don't plan on backing up data, reinstalling everything again, etc...
Let's hope when 4.4 Kitkat is released there is an easy rooting method which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. :laugh:

Utra Z, Google Play Edition or Sony unlocked ?

They are both about the same price, so which is the more desirable/better version ?
Lets throw in a poll while we're at it..............
This article basically says that text, icon, and font size (which are very important factors to me) are larger on the Google Play edition, but the Sony version has better software optimization for this device.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/20/5229978/sony-xperia-z-ultra-z-ultra-google-play-edition-review
Which one runs graphics intensive games more smoothly ?
Tough call - totally depends on your personal preference. I'd go with the Sony version as it's almost as clean as the stock android and I actually like their walkman, album app (& album widget) better than the stock versions.
Sony version. You can flash the GPe ROM on the Sony version, but you can't flash a Sony ROM on the GPe version (yet).The stock Sony ROM is very good.

All/most 4.4 Phones work with wallet from what i understand, certainly the stock Sony one does. I have it set up on mine right now (haven't the opportunity to use it yet but maybe tomorrow for lunch I can try.

We may be able to flash a duel boot to allow sony rom and GPE rom soon.
Go for the Sony one. Like LordManhattan said, you can use GPE on it if you wish. And trust me, Sony's optimisations on stock rom, are better.

Indeed. I love AOSP, but Sony did a great job with their version, and that's why I've mostly been using stock since I got it last September.

Maybe this has been repeated ad nauseam already but the Sony edition will do Tmobile LTE right? That's concerning thing to me since the GPE is the north american version. Or have I got this all wrong?
Sony edition being the C6833 of course.

Sony sell both the c6806 and c6833 LTE versions, the GPe only comes in the c6806 flavour
The GPe will get the update to 4.4.3 well before Sony release it for their own phones, but once released for the GPe it should only be a day or two before it's ported to the Sony hardware - as long as there isn't too big a change to the kernel.

It works like this:

Flash latest Sony FTF

Boot into recovery and wipe as needed

All kdz with "6" or "16" in the name are for 16GB. Kdz for all countries in Europe is the same but publish in different time not to weigh down servers. If there is no name of a carrier in name of kdz it means it's free from a carrier's bloatware. So, it doesn't matter it is fot Switzerland, Germany, Poland or any other country. It just can't be for a carrier.
Sorry for my English.

I don't understand why they made so many different models (3 different CPU's, depending on the CPU 2 sizes of RAM)... I wonder how many people bought a 550 while they actually wanted the 570, it can be pretty confusing for not too technical people I guess...
Asus released the Nougat for two more models today.
ZE520KL and ZE552KL.
