Ok, first things first!
I actually don't really like dual-sim but since my Z1 got bad and I had to swicht back to S3 (HUUUUGGEEEE downgrade) a dual sim Z3 will be amazing, but I have some concerns...
I have some kind of predjudice against dual sim phones, but, since there are no unlocked D6643 being sold in my country, I just ordered a D6633.
That being said, I used to have a Z1 C6943 model and could flash C6903 firware version without any hickups, losing only tv, wich didn't matter at all!
My main question is: Will I be able to flash D6643 firmwares on D6633? If this is possible, what would be lost?
Thaks a lot guys, I still have 11 days untill my phone arrives and untill then I can cancel the purchase!

If there is a difference in partition tables, it might not be a good idea to try. I encountered such issues when flashing Korean Stock ROM on my LG Nitro. Though hardware was compatible I had issues like no cellular and almost bricked attempting to flash back to ATT stock ROM.

I own a Xperia E C1504 Single sim. I wanted to install Nexboost. And according to the tutorial it asked me to flash 11.1.0A.68 firmware (4.0.4 ftf). After searching for a long time, I found it.. After I flashed it, I saw many options for dual sim, even though mine is single sim.
Now mobile internet is not working after. Is it because of the wrong firmware? Or is it a bug in Nexboost! its kinda urgent.
Thanks
Hi xda, it's been a while since I've been here and looking around has me scratching my head a little.
Anyway I have just purchased a galaxy s6 from eBay foolishly thinking it would be easy to remove the simlock but after a little reading I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake. I'm not sure what network the phone is locked to as I have not yet received it and the listing states in the title O2 but the description says Vodafone, all I know is the model begins G920F. I thought maybe rooting and flashing a stock firmware would remove the simlock but after reading it looks like this is not the case. I then read also about "tripping knox" which sounds like something I don't want to be doing.
Root is probably something I will be looking to do in the future but not essential right now but I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me the best way to go about putting my virgin sim in this phone.
Please help
Thanks Peter.
I thought the 920F is the facotry unlocked international version so any sim would work.
When are you receiving this? Where are you trying to make this work.

Most European providers don't simlock, so you will most likely just have a provider rom, they are easy to replace with a generic stock rom
He is sending the phone out first class tomorrow so I'll report back after I have received it. I'll be using it in the UK, hopefully I'll get lucky and just be able to use it as soon as I get it. Thanks for the replies people.
Try buying an unlock code from one of the many reputable online unlockers.
I am also in the same boat. I bought samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f model from malaysia and now when I insert indian sim its say its locked and asking for unlock code. I am just worried now. i am thinking if i can flash stock indian firmware sm-g920i to realease the lock.

no you need an unlock code
Well I received the phone today and it seems I don't have to worry about the simlock as it's a bloody counterfeit!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, in the middle of a dispute atm but hopefully I'll receive a refund. Anybody that wants to help please see this thread...

OH... I really very sorry to hear this .
Hi all,
First at all, sorry if my English it's not 100% good
I had my Samsung Gran Duos GT-I9082 for around 3 years, i did root, installed many kernel's and rom's, and it was amazing the improvements and extended life I had on my Samsung Dual Sim.
Now I have one brand new Xperia Z3 Dual Sim, and I have many questions, because it's all identical, but diferent.
If anyone can help me, I'll be greatfull
Sony Xperia Z3 Dual Sim D6633
Qualcomm MSM8974PRO-AC
23.4.A.0.546
Rooting status
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
The performance it's amazing, the only thing I dont like it's the overheat when I play a game or use camera.
There is anyway to dont have overheat?
What do I need to do to have the best performance? Root? New ROM? Do you have any perference? I need dual sim.
If root, backups keys?
Need help on all steps ....
Thanks you all for your attention in advance.
Best Regards
tc
Hi,
Did anyone buy this phone from vodafone ro. They do not have the phone on the test benches and I cannot test if the bootloader is unlockable. I asked and again they won't let me play with the phone before buying it. I played with the xperia x in theirs shop and on this phone the bootloader status says unlockable: no. For me a phone on which I cannot unlock the bootloader is a phone which I can through out of the window... Thanks

If you want to be able to root it and unlock the Bootloader you must buy a sim free network unlocked device(like what you would get from the Sony store) the only network I know of that supply these types of device's is three UK as I use them myself all of there devices have unlockable Bootloaders whether payg or contract. Locked Bootloader root on the xa or all other new Xperias since z3+ will probably never happen, there's currently also no way to back up ta keys on the xa either which is why I'm still currently stock. It's a great device though I'm highly impressed with it

I bought three years ago a xperia l from vodafone ro and the bootloader was unlockable, but that was 3 years ago. I'll probably buy it from a store somewhere, not from vodafone, if I cannot test it. Thanks

Hello to everyone..
Sony mobile flasher simlock option killed my sony xperia Z5 sim service.... bad mistake by me
Basically i bought a second hand sony xperia Z5 locked to O2 UK- first i wanted to upgrade the firmware and i have installed sony mobile flasher 0.9.23.2 and all the drivers to my laptop and downloaded the latest firmware everything was on right way to complete the firmware upgrade but before i proceed i saw the simlock option and i choosed it in order to remove the o2 network lock from the phone, i thought i could get 2 things done if i was lucky but i did not think choosing this option would of kill the phones network function. unfortunately after completing the flash i cannot use the device as a phone as it says no sim service, i can see the imei number and use other things on the phone like wifi etc... but cannot make calls.
After making some google search unfortunately i wasnt able to find any solution for this issue. Is there anyone on this forum have had this problem or can anyone advice me what to do please?
thanks.

Hi, have you tried to unlock the bootloader and reflash stock firmware using the flashtool from flashtool.net and xperifirm?
Or you could follow this step by step and see if that helps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/ftf-e66xx-patched-kernels-google-drive-t3688365
