So I noticed that sony released official 6.0 for our Z2, in my country we are not even updated to. 264( by ota and sony companion). So I want to update my device to MM via flashtool but all FTFs are for different countries. So I wonder which should I use, I'm afraid different countries fw may not compatible with my device. Since z2 is the very first high end device I own so I cant risk. Or can I just flash one of the ftf and exclude baseband, will that be ok? I have d6503 and a bit knowledge about flashtool
All firmwares are same except bloatwares for different countries. My z2 comes from UK market but I flash Russia FTF and it works perfectly
Ok thx

Hi
Anyone know where to find stock firmware for Xperia sola for Baltic region (Latvia)? Doesn't matter 2.3 or 4.0 Android.
The thing is week after going back to stock firmware (don't know what region, definitely not Baltic) from some custom roms my microphone stopped working. Phone now is not rooted and bootloader was never unlocked, so there shouldn't be any problems with warranty if I can find anywhere stock firmware for Baltic region, but unfortunately so far - no luck.
As much as i know you must use Central Europe version, right?

I already tried both of them, none of them is what I had before, both have some additional aps that I didn't have before.
In the Xperia Z2 General forum, they keep announcing new firmware, but it isn't available to my D6503 when I connect to PC Connection (or Sony Bridge). Where can you find out if the one for your particular handset (mine is Hong Kong) has been released yet?
You can install this Updatechecker tool for Xperia devices to check what's the latest firmware version available for your device.

some firmwares release for specific regions (maybe they had bug or something)
it means u won't get all firmware !
anyway ur phone is hongKong like mine, i got 314
check ur PCC again
:good:
I actually think it may be Singapore. In any case PCC doesn't show anything for me. I'm stuck on .402 and am having some issues with the phone acting up (phone app crashing, messaging app crashing).... I need some new new.
If you don't want to wait, you can download a D6503 17.1.2.A.0.314 firmware from this thread and then flash using Flashtool. Ensure that you untick the "Wipe data" option before flashing, so that you keep your data.

Since your apps are crashing, I actually suggest that you do a clean flash (i.e. wipe data).
Good afternoon! Got a question. Bought phone xperia z2 d6503 firmware of the European region. Very quiet sound in the headphones. On any forum I read that this restriction is for the European region, and that if the US firmware to put out there, and the sound will be louder and XLOUD will work. Is it so?! If yes, then a link to the latest official firmware for the region.
Xloud is not available from lollipop onwards. if you want us firmware download the tool xperifirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 and download the latest firmware for the z2 d6503 that is .575 firmware and flash it using xperia flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
steps how to flash http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/ this is for lollipop but the rest steps are the same just download .575 firmware for z2 and the rest steps are the same. while download firmware in xperifirm choose the operator customized and the market of your own choice
Hello!
I am a bit lost with FW versions for XZ1...
I bought US unlocked G8342 version from Amazon and it came with 47.1.A.2.273 - which, aster some searching around, seems to be quite old...
I got xperiafirm and I see that it is listing 47.1.A.8.49 / R5B as current USA custom firmware - anyone can explain why my phone (and Sony companion) think that I have the latest when Sony servers have newer version?
I like having more recent FW on my devices - should I get Central European version (which is even newer - 7.1.A.12.34 / R6B) - will Sony provide OTA upgrades for me here in US?
Will I lose anything with CE1 FW, like any US-specific GSM/LTE bands?
Or should I get current US version via xperiafirm and hope that Sony will keep it updated going forward?
(I know, that I'll get fingerprint sensor with CE1 FW, but this is not that important for me).
Appreciate any insight!
Could someone please explain why my NEW Xz1 phone (and Sony companion) think that I have the latest updates when according to XperiFirm much newer versions exist. Currently I have:
47.1.A.2.281 currently installed on the phone yet
47.1.A.12.235 is the latest available in other geographical areas.
Is it ok to flash this latest one from a different geographical area onto my phone ?
I live in New Zealand and was considering flashing a UK Customized 47.1.A.12.235
I would use Flashtool by Androxyde.
Would this void my warranty ?
Why is it that Sony put out updates but we just don't get to see them - who's dragging the chain here ?
And since posting the above I'm aware that two more updates have happened:
47.1.A.12.270
47.1.A.16.20
WTF is going on ? Why are we not getting ANY updates ?

You can flash firmware from other region, but you may lose FOTA update pushes, this means you can only upgrade your firmware through Flashtool or other similar tools in the future.
As for the warranty, I have no idea about it, but I have already flashed my Chinese version XZ1 to Malaysian firmware, since the Chinese firmware does not have any Google apps, and it just works fine, I also replaced the oem.sin file from Chinese firmware to Malaysian firmware in order to have VoLTE enabled.
But as I mentioned before, I lose FOTA after flashed my phone, so I have to download the entire firmware via XperiFirm and flash it manually. If you flash the original firmware without modifications, you may not lose FOTA, if you do so, please tell me!
EDIT: You can only flash firmware matches your model, so don't flash a G8342 firmware into a G8341 or other.
