It appears some of the new stock Roms now contain extras for the different countries/providers.
I am curious to see what is in each version. Please post the version of the rom and what extras are in it.

It appears the Russian Rom may be the only "modified" rom so far.
Please post if anyone finds a rom that is different
Thanks for your help
Pretty interesting.

i found thia update on sammobile
it is for russia NH4
for arabs u can download arabic from available language after update
still in saudia arabia and egypt last update 4.3 no kitkat till now
Ok so I convinced myself that when I got this phone (which is pretty much new) I would not bother rooting and unlocking bootloader etc.
Well I am absolutely fed up with the ads popping up everywhere and so I want to root to get Adaway back (I have it on my Nexus 7 tablet and no ads is a must!) :silly:
so please, what is currently the best and safest way to root? I know it would void the warranty but if I can at least revert it to stock and get the warranty back should anything happen then I would prefer this.
I was reading a few posts that say to root, you need to unlock the bootloader but doing so removes drm keys or something meaning it cannot be restored to complete stock?
Phone is:
Xperia Z2 Black
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: 8974-xxxxxxxxx-00027-12
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-gd4d661a
Build Number: 23.0.1.A.0.167

Backup data
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Flash rooted 4.4.4 zip in recovery

You will still have locked bootloader
You will still have warranty
You will still have the ability to return phone to 100% stock state

So I need to install the Android SDK and use Flashtool to backup and flash 4.4.2 rom? Also when you say back up data do you mean my music and pics etc, or actually backup the stock rom?

When I say backup I really mean messages and call log. Anything on the phones internal memory that you want to keep. I think I used sms backup +.
And yea flash a 4.4.2 firmware via flashtool.

Those are the customisation numbers of the ROM. Some roms have different (more or less) stock apps or modified icon. An unbranded rom wouldn't have branded apps like vodaphone app or telstra app

Sorry for been a pain again
I just setup the android-sdk, adb and fastboot (just rerooted my Xperia S so I know everything is setup ok),
I just want to double check first (better safe than sorry!) before messing around with the Z2:
1. Is there a way of backing up the stock rom and kernel before downgrading to 4.4.2, or do you need root/unlock bootloader to backup?
2. To downgrade to 4.4.2 rom do I just use this command:
fastboot flash boot D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_3UK.ftf

You use flashtool to flash a FTF file
Fastboot is used for flashing IMGs and elf files
Thanks, its been a while doing all this stuff so I just need to be certain.
So I dont need to do anything like unlock bootloader before flashing that downgrade rom?
The post i linked to has good instructions I have been following, so I downloaded stock 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 rom, later I will try flashing. I also learned from reading in that thread what all the numbers mean, so in my service menu i was looking at it My bootloader can also be unlocked
I just want to make sure I do everything right as with my Xperia S and Nexus 7 2013 I rushed into it without backing the roms up, I never bricked the devices but still you do worry especially with expensive phone like Z2
Hello all,
I wonder something and I wanted to ask you for better understanding. So here is my question. If my phone has the CDA number of Central Europe and I change it to lets say Nordic Countries ROM. Does this mean from now on all the updates that will rollout in Nordic Countries will be valid for me? As a summary is this how Sony rollout the updates in different regions?
I know Nordic Countries have already updated their phone to Lollipop. Lets say I change my phones ROM from Central Europe to Nordic Countries KitKat version. Does this mean when I check for updates of Lollipop will I be able to see on OTA?
Thanks

Why don't you just use the Huawei Firmware Finder and paste the output, has all the OTA Full and upgrade packages right there... I see no benefit from the thread you're trying to build.
