Hey all
I have purchased Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 International factory unlocked from Amazon.com ... i am currently using it with AT&T network and everything is fine like calls and LTE.
1. But when ever i boot the device i see Tmobile logo and few preinstalled Tmobile apps... is it bcoz i purchased it from amazon instead of directly from sony or what could be the reason.
2. Bcoz of that Tmobile logo at startup will the lollipop update depends on carrier or not.
Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.
That is not international version. It is a t-mobile branded. It is propably from germany market.
Lollipop update depend from t mobile (Germany?)
But you can flash a non branded firmware with flashtool
True the device is from Germany.. Seller told that to me when i asked about warranty.
Now my question is if i purchase the same device from sony directly will that also come with tmobile branding? I see that Sony selling d6603 factory unlocked in US website.
Thanks and regards,
Kishore Kumar.
The D6603 is an unlocked version which is not t-mobile branded. The D6616 is the t-mobile branded version.
The German T-Mobile is a D6603 and you can flash any (generic) ftf for this model to get rid of the branding.

I have flashed the device with D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized_US.ftf... i see the option Hi-Res audio via USB is missing under audio settings also the punch feel of the front speakers has reduced slightly ... rest all working fine .. what could be the issue ? btw i did not check anything under wipe or exclude while flashing the device.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore Kumar.
Might be an effect of upgrading to Lollipop ?...

Hi everyone, I got a dual sim H60-L02 from China (rooted by the seller) and using it in Malaysia.
The shop dealer asked me not to update the phone as I will not be able to use Malaysia SIM card upon updating to the latest firmware.
Is it something to do with the baseband?
Is there anywhere I can find the baseband if I updated the phone and fail to connect to the cellular services?
Do advise / correct me should I have made wrong statement.
Thanks.
sorry but it sounds to me you've got either a clone device or spyware from your seller. try the app Z device test to check the hardware

I have L-02 type, unrooted, using it in Malaysia, 1st sim Maxis and the other one use indonesia's SIM. It's running properly for 3G. I unable try 4G coz my sim card not support for 4G.
thanks for the reply.
Just to update, as there is a small note not to update to EMUI 3.0 while in rooted mode, I had factory reset the phone and then only updated the phone to latest firmware. Since Gapps does not available in China, I installed the Gapps from huawei app centre (Google calendar and contact sync adapter are available in that app centre) and the phone works well up to now except whatsapp chat history problem.
Hope you all enjoy Honor 6 H60-L02, definitely a phone worth to buy.
I have H60L02 .. Bought in Chinese... I am in India
I want or remove chinese app ..
Even in Contacts i could see chinese.. kindly Help in rooting it to International version EMUI
If i use flashtool and flash a differnt region and leave it like that will i get ota upfates still i have a z5 e6653
Yes, you will get the OTA updates for the region you flashed.
Thank you
If i can ask you another question my sony z5 e6653 came with 1299-3035 region firmware i cant find what region it was is there any way of finding out that firmware was for lolipop thank you
Are you sure about 1299-3035? I can't find any reference to that anywhere.
How to find Customization Version
I think this is the region firmware
No idea where that's from. Where did you buy it? And is that the customisation version that displays in the phone's service menu?
I bought it from swappa i live in the usa so i wanted to have lte showing so i flashed custom de (germany) is that ftf file a true sony file or a made up one. I really am thankful for all your help.
SI number on box doesn't match the Customization Version in the phone. For the last time, what does version is this PHONE? Not the BOX, the PHONE.
I need the 18.3.C.0.37 FTF firmware file (the customized UK version) for my Xperia M2 D2303. I want to unlock my bootloader and install a custom ROM. I found this firmware version for Vodafone UK but I don't have/want a Vodafone SIM. Does anyone have the unlocked version?
Thanks!
customized means the rom comes with some extra apps (ex. Vodafone apps), so it is carrier free also as i know you dont need to 0.37 or whatever, just get the code and unlock your bootloader (i unlocked mine at .175)

I have an XZ Premium (G8141) from the 3UK network. I want to use it in the US, likely as a WiFi only device. I want to flash the firmware to remove the 3UK branding. Trying to decide the best option. I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor working or not. If I did decide to use it on a mobile network it would be TMobile US.
I downloaded XperiFirm and for the G8141 there are a number of "Customized" options. If I went this way I imagine I would go with the Customized CE1 or UK version right? That would remove network customization and be a stock Sony firmware?
In the G8142 section there is a Customized US firmware. Is flashing this an option to get a US based firmware? What would be the negative side of doing this?
I appreciate any input. Thank you!

The only difference between the two customised versions is that the US one will have the fingerprint reader disabled.
Any customised firmware build will work, removing the 3UK logo, but avoid the US version if you use fingerprint unlock
Thank you for the response! Another question, are the Customized firmwares official Sony ones?
Hi I bought my phone from the internet , my phone is a Sony Xperia XZ Premium Dual Sim dual SIM EN / ZH from UK should I use Europe version
The firmware is almost the same except for the carrier's custom software. (Note: US firmware cannot use fingerprints)
