Ah OK thank you

With 1ii, it's possible to flash HK, TW or EU ROMs but you will not get mobile signal. I tried all kind of ROMs but had to come back to stock Chinese ROM at the end.
It's lucky that in chinese ROM we still have Google Service and all you need is install Play Store APK, unlike Huawei or some others. Bloatwares can also be uninstalled easily.
I'm having 1iii XQ-BC72 now and pretty sure it will be the same. But need to wait for Xperifirm to release firmwares of other market first then I will try and come back here.

You couldn't get any signal back in 1 II because the CN model is XQ-AT72 while HK and TW are XQ-AT52. That's a different model with different baseband configuration.
But this time with 1 III, All three regions are sharing the same model XQ-BC72. So cross-region flashing shouldn't be a problem.

I have successfully flashed TW ROM on XQ-BC72 CN version using newflasher. Everything works fine

Do you lose OTA updates once you flash this UK ireland firmware for example? Do you need to factory reset/root/install twrp or Odin is enough?

Odin is your friend, no need for root or twrp. OTA will work. I live in the Netherlands and dirty flashed the unbranded UK/Irish version on my son's G925F, which had a Nordic Marshmallow version installed. Worked fine. The Vodafone branded version for the Netherlands did not work, but maybe I should have removed the SIM card first, since this was no Vodafone SIM. You can change the language into any language you prefer.

I bought mine in Denmark, so Nordic version as well I guess, but I never tried using Odin, can you provide some more info? Do I need to factory reset or it keeps all my data, I am also on Marshmallow (G925FXXU5DPL5 baseband), It's Unlocked, any sim works in it.

If you go to the firmware page of sammobile you will find the instructions for installing and using Odin. It's not complicated. I did a dirty flash and that went well. All apps and data were unaffected.

Secure folder UK firmware

Hello all.
I have recently purchased the m51 in the UK.
I have noticed that the Indian firmware seems to have secure folder working on it.
But the version in the UK is lacking this feature.
Is there anyway to enable it or sideload it onto my current firmware?
While I'm not sure the Indian Android 11 firmware comes with Secure Folder, you can safely flash it via Odin. There are many tutorials on Youtube. Alternatively, you can just install a third-party app.

No, it won`t get OTA if you flash f/w from non native region, even if you flas f/w from BC72 to BC72.
I got BC72 from China, flashed to Russian f/w 2 months ago, and it didn`t get OTA until i flashed back native China f/w.
It`s very sad, i agree. (((
I had Xperia 5 before X1 III, such a great phone, one of the last REAL Sony devices, with Sony Mobile`s soul, so friendly and hassle-free, and now I am so regret that I exchanged Xperia 5 to this wierd, strange and unfriendly device Xperia 1 III.

My Xperia BC72 f/w is Global-C2-user so I do not know which version it is. Somebody on XDA says that it is HK version. I do get OTA update so it should be the native region. My f/w has all the Google apks including the message and dialer. Do you know which f/w does not has the Google apks? Thanks for your reply.

Global C2 is HK, you are right. It comes with all Google services and apps installed from the box, and if you get OTA it is your native f/w.
Chinese (NOT HK or TW!) XQ-BC72 devices comes without Google apps from the box, however, it does has Google services inside the f/w, and you can install Google apps (market, gmail, youtube e.t.c) manually with no problem, so it won`t be almost any difference between HK and Chinese rom after you install the apps manually by yourself.

Yes, you can flash updated f/w with Newflasher from any XQ-BC72 to any QX-BC72 with no problem, but you must remember the main thing - OTA update system stops working on non native f/w!
I don`t see any reason for you to flash your HK device to China f/w, it doesn`t have any sense. But to flash Chinese device to a global ROM (HK, TW, SEA, RUS...) definitely makes sense if only OTA system could work after that (((

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree with you that it does not make sense to flash Chinese f/w to HK f/w. It just that I do not like the look of Google apks and the Google calendar does not have a year view. You are right, losing OTA update is a problem. I will just disable the Google apks and chose some other equivalent apks.

I've got you. Yes, you can try to flash CN f/w on your HK device, but it doesn't make any sense. CN f/w is poor, it doesn't have any google apps pre-installed, however, it does have a google services, you just need to install g apps manually by yourself.
Try SEA f/w instead od CN
I just like to try f/w with different apps instead of g apps. If the SEA f/w is similar to HK f/w with g apps then I am not so interest in it unless it has some features different than the HK f/w.

My device is HK BC72 out of the box (I think) since the software info says GLOBAL-C2-user. I am afraid that if I flash a previous software version I might get boot loop due to anti roll back. I just had a hard brick on my Mi 11 due to flashing an android 12 version. I do not want to brick my new xperia so soon. I should be able to fix the boot loop using Xperia companion right?

Not everyone bootloop can be fix by XC recovering. If you will flash the device without changing slot, you won't be able to repair the device with XC, for example.
There's no anti roll back protection on Xperias, as i know. You may flash the older f/w back with no problem, just chande to slot A as active before flashing.

I flashed back my device from newer RU f/w to older CN f/w, and it flashed great. After that i made a companion repair, and now i'm using it.
