What is decrypt key for d2305?

What is decrypt key Xperia M2 D2302 Global Generic 18.0.B.1.23

Will there be a problem if I flash D2305 - 18.0.A.1.30 on D2303, to be able to root with doomlord's root method?

I wouldn't try a different firmware on the D2303.
Just wait a bit as @DooMLoRD is working on a version for us on the D2303. Hopefully it'll be available in the next day or two.

system ui crash
I flashed m xperia m2 with the its default firmware XPERIA M2 D2303 Central Europe 18.0.C.1.13 .
Now when the phone starts it gives me : Unfortunate, System UI has stopped. and i cant do anything on it , it gives me that everytime.
Anyone had this problem and how can i solve it ?
I tried to flash to default rom several times but the error msg keeps appearing.
Any help is appreciated
Thanx

Will need a full reset. Do it from recovery (keep tapping volume down on the Sony boot up screen) be sure to back up all your data though as it will erase the phones internal memory.

Where did you get cwm for the D2303? The only one I know of that is out is for the D2305. Installing the D2305 cwm on the D2303 will cause you problems.

How to flash rom Japan Au Xperia Z5 SOV32

Hi,everyone.Sorry about my bad english !
I have a SOV32 and unlock code.But I can't flash Docomo rom or Global rom as Xperia Z4 or Z3.
I have tried　with the flashtool 0.9.18.3 ~ 0.9.18.6.
With the flashtool 0.9.18.8, I don't know how to use.
Can you teach me ?
Thankyou!

Have you been able to flash ROM on Au Xperia Z5 SOV32?
I also own a Sony Xperia Z5 SOV32. It is SIM unlocked but SMS app, Internet and TV do not function here in Mauritius.
Have you been able to flash another Sony Xperia Z5 ROM althogh the bootloader cannot be unlocked? How did you do it?
Thanks,
Dushan

My answer is yes.
If you need unlock SOV32. The video on youtube helped me a lot whose name is "How to Unlock Sony Xperia Z5 SOV32 from AU"
After you unlocked your phone, just follow the intro of flashtool. It is easy. BTW, the NFC of SOV32 is not suitable for other non-japan roms. You have to force stop the "NFC Service" in the setting>Apps>Show system every time you start your SOV32.

You are my saviour! Thank you so much!

Since 14 March I found myself very frustrated that I had a new phone, Sony Xperia Z5 SOV32, which would not be able to call numbers in my own country. The SMS app would not work. I was not able to use mobile internet either.
But thanks to you I have been able to flash the Sony Xperia Z5 E6653 ROM on this mobile phone and everything is working fine since Thursday 12 May.
Thank you so much!

Support For VoLTE

Kindly can anyone help in enabling VoLTE in Moto G 2015 XT1550 (stable Custom Rom). I'm using a sim that has support for VoLTE. Internet speeds are great but voice calls over the sim are not audible, as VoLTE is disabled. I've did a backup of build.prop. Waiting for a tweak to enable VoLTE. Thanks in advance !!

Sorry bro... Moto has it disabled in the modem firmware, we don't get VoLTE no matter what you do.

Pretty sure it's a firmware thing... VoLTE processing is done mostly at the baseband (MDM9x25 modem) processor level and not at the Application Processor level (SOC - Snapdragon 410).
Moto said it isn't supported, but I believe other similar hardware does, therefore Moto has it disabled... and since modem firmware is required to be signed even with an unlocked booloader, we can't use a different one or modify the existing modem firmware.

See I've flashed stock back again. Now it's working. Now you plz suggest me that " if I revert back to RR ROM and flash the modem files of the stock ROM on RR ROM will solve this issue "???

It's working on stock ROM. I've flashed it now, calls over volte are good and clear. Just one doubt, if flash RR ROM again and flash the modem files of original firmware, will it help?

Screenshot showed up on computer, but not in Tapatalk... I can't tell you why it works on stock and not RR then, unless RR doesn't have support for VoLTE built in it. I am not sure if there is VoLTE support in the CM device tree for our device (or even if that is where it would be found), but I have to assume it isn't, and since all aftermarket ROMs for the G3 use the same CM device tree because it is the only one available... well, you get the idea. If it isn't a device tree thing, it could be in other ROMs. I would suggest trying the "big" ones. AICP, DU, Tesla, or CM13 (official) are your most likely candidates to get VoLTE working, but in looking at the list of features of most aftermarket ROMs VoLTE isn't mentioned at all.

Customised updates from specific providers have no ETA. It all depends on the actual provider you have to add what they want to the firmware. You can always get in touch with them but I have never known anyone getting a firm answer about the ETAs of updates. Best just to wait.
If you cannot wait, flash a 6.0 FTF from a region that has it and just update OTA. You can always flash the one from EE UK once it is released.

Is the standard 7 available ota in the UK now?

Goto the phone and dial *#*#service#*#*

The first 8 numbers will be a code telling you which 'version' you have.
Mine is 1305-6105_R3B which equates to '3 UK'
Yours will tell you which customization you have.
you can use xperiafirm to check which it belongs to. If you cant find it, post it here and I will tell you

Yes, you can. You would have to use the Community Flashtool and use the XperiFirm tool inside it to download from another region. I did the same thing a few days ago for the first time so I hope I'll be helpful!

at the moment, no. the flashing will fail at a specific partition and it will brick the phone.

i am unable to flash a generic f8331 rom into my xperia xz sov34.
on flashtool, it says "ERROR - The bundle does not match the connected device". any advice on what i should do next?
many thanks!

F8332 is dual sim variant you can't flash F8332 rom in your AU device because Japan device is only single sim variant, you can try F8331 firmware
