Hello there,
I have bought Sony xperia z3 severals months ago. I'm happy with it.
I bought it from o2 Germany.
It's possible to flash/update the firmware to the unbranded/generic stock ROM? If yes, without losing DRM keys or other things and what can happen after flashing/updating to generic stock rom?
Some phone details as screenshots.
Yep just use flashtool and flash the ftf of your choice use a generic world .98 and you can root with giefroot

Only lose DRM if you unlock bootloader

Thank you.
Do you know what the different is between generic global (I think it's the generic world) and generic Germany?
I'm not really sure could just be apps in the ROM. I think you can root the generic German one with giefroot just use .98 then you can stay get a flashable zip of .77 but lollipop should be coming soon too

Hi,
I bought my Moto G from an online store in Romania. The phone is great, but my firmware is AsiaRetail and I would like to change it to a European one, or even the Global version. Can that be done without rooting my phone? Can I somehow select which version to install with the upcoming update? If so I would be very grateful!
Thank you!
Just flash eu retail firmware with xda guide. You don't have to root etc.

Yes but it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader. I've had a lot of problems with my last phone and lost the warranty because I wanted a stock android experience. This time I'm trying to keep it simple and safe (as long as I can before I start a flashing spree again)

And talking about the flashing spree, I did surrender to it. Totally not worth it though, at least for now. Stick with stock, don't mess around, it's as good as it gets.

And what would I have to do to install a EU firmware without root or unlocked bootloader? All the guides I've found need at least one. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Dear friend, the following guide is intended for you. It does not require root, nor an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
You'll probably want to wait until official 4.4.3 images are available - that way, you won't need to update your system after flashing, making for a very clean installation.
Enjoy
Hi, I would like to replace the stock RUU on my HTC one M8Sw by a WWE stock RUU.
Custom ROM are not suitable as I need to have access to OTA and to use Worx home (for work emails)
My phone has currently:
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP
- Rooted
- S-off
I understand that I'd have to change the CID to match the new rom.
Is there such rom available? if so, is there a listing somewhere?
0PAJIMG_M8_ACE_WHL_K44_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_1.12.651 .1_Radio_1.08.20.0707_2_NV_SPCS_2.30_003_release_3 84985_signed_2.zip
Would the above rom be suitable?
For info, I was able to install European rom on my previous HTC One M7 802W.
Thanks

Yes, I've came across your post but what would be the advantage over the UniCom ROM?
Have they NOT got all the bloatware in the ROM or what?
I am using the M8 DualSIM port but one of the reasons - apart form being dual SIM - I've upgraded from M7 is the camera and with the ported ROM the original camera app does not work with high resolution and Google Camera has somewhat reduced usability.
Also - according to your post - the India version seems to be an M8sS version instead M8sW? Has that any affect?
Thanks for your help
Indian rom is WWE Asia with dual Sim. This rom have multi Sim menu. Currently we don't have RUU yet for India rom so only by using TWRP Backup we can install Asia WWE rom with dual Sim menu on Unicom phone. Free from bloatware and you got great camera apps.
Since this only TWRP Backup, nothing change on firmware mean that phone firmware use your original Unicom.
If any OTA coming to be safe don't install it. Better ask other user to make another clean TWRP Backup and flash again on your phone.
This will reduce hard brick due to incompatibility between Unicom firmware and India firmware.

I haven't an LG phone, sorry.
I've been waiting for over a year for Alcatel to release it OTA in my country but i'm guessing it ain't happening at this point...So I'll just install it manually. But I can't really find the official ROM uploaded anywhere, so I was wondering if any of you have it.
My phone isn't rooted but I imagine I can apply the update without rooting directly from storage, right? After all, it is the official ROM.
Have other Alcatel owners received the OTA update to MM in your country? Have you tried upgrading with the Alcatel upgrade program?

I don't believe anyone else has, but I'm not sure, I don't know anyone personally who has the phone besides me.
I haven't tried the desktop app (if that's what you mean), because I was under the impression that it would only restore my phone to it's default state...Besides I have had troubles in the past trying to get Alcatel's PC suite software to work.
If you use the desktop software, it should upgrade you to the latest ROM.
If the MM ROM has not been released for your phone's country and model #, there will be no official MM ROM for your phone and you will have to flash a MM ROM from another model or country.

So, the desktop software will still only upgrade me if there is an official ROM out for my country?
Yes, mobile upgrade will take the phone to the latest android version for your model and country.

If the phone doesn't get upgraded to mm via Alcatel upgrade software, there is no official mm for the phone/country.

Hi Panchovix!
I'm having similar trouble with my phone
I flashed Lineage 14.1 on my Idol 3 (6045B), and it worked right, but its not detecting my simcard, and it doesn't show an IMEI.
I read somewhere that I'll have to flash the modem, but I dont have the proper file... Did you find any solution?
Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys,
I have both Variants of the Nokia, the TA-1000 and the TA-1025.
Last night I did something stupid. I was trying to flash the update for my TA-1000 to get google services, and like an idiot flashed it onto my 1025.
Now all I can access is the recovery.
If anyone could please provide me with the update.zip from a 1025 variant I would greatly appreciated.

I apologize for any confusion. I am still looking if anyone could post the update.zip even from this latest update the TA-1025 for me, so I can get my phone functioning again.
Thanks in advance.

hi sir !
I got nokia 6 TA-1021 from amazon and it is manually updated to the october security update along with 7.1.2 system update but somethimg gots wrong and its now only works in recovery mode !!!!
I hope you have the same problem which you said that your phone is in recovery mode.
It is because of the Original , Stock firmware is corrupted or has been deleted and the new update is also partially installed.
So all that we need is the stock firmware and a tool to install it in.
i got the firmware from XDA but it is in extension .nb0 it can only flashed by SUT L3 or SOT tool which has downloaded also from the link provided by XDA , but it is showing that the software updater is out of date and it need to be updated first but no option for it.....
so if there is any possible way to convert the nb0 file to zip that is signed and then we can manually flash it without pc or with pc............
any help would be appreciated....
Sorry for my bad grammar!!!!!
