Hi
as I was saying in early posts.... I downgraded my M2 From Lollipop to KitKat because I did not like Lollipop at al... well but thats another history, so as I was saying I was Trying to Downgrade my M2 since A week ago but i couldnt do it, mainly because a could not get a ftf for my country,I Was thinking about using the Generic_LAM but everytime i Tried to downloaded from xperifirm i Had this message: The following Files are missing: fps.zip, proceed with caution...
So I decided to look aroung for another ftf I could use, so Looking around the forum I found the thread made by linuxct where he posted all the tfts for the m2 for JB,KK And Lollipop, so I downloaded the KitKat firmware he posted.... Firmware was Customized_US, I Used itto flash my Phone.... everything was fine until i Tried to send a message using mobile data and I noticed that the LTE and mobile data wasn working at all.
The LTE/4G Icon and the mobile data Icon does not appear on the notification bar and I cant send messages on whatsapp unless I use wifi.... So Im thinking about flashing my phone again using the generic Lam firmware but the problem is that i cant downloaded from xperifirm for the reasons I posted above...
So I was wondering if someone can help me out with this, if someone can provided with a link to download the latest Generic Lam KitKat ftf so I can flash my Phone, id be really grateful....
Thanks so much in advance
Sounds like you flashed the wrong M2 model ftf.

well, that is probably the reason... thats why Im looking for the generic firmware for Latin America, now I Could use The ftf of my provider, which is movistar Mexico, but that will mean going back as how I was before I flash my phone, with all the bloatware Movistar Installed on its firmware, which will mean that I will have less space on my device and that I Will Have to wait until they released the update, In case I wanted to install lollipop, Thats Why Im looking for the cleanest ftf out there I could find...
Any Idea where can I get that ftf?? Thanks
HI Friends, (@Vinay)
I am new here, and have specifically registered to seek your help
I have D2212 IN version which was SIM unlocked.
Apparently, I was successful in
1) Unlocking the boot loader
2) Installing Vinay's Custom Nitrogen ROM
Subsequently, I used the phone happily for over 1month and problems started happening where Phone lagged so much that it became unbearable.
Also at the same time, I noticed my phone would lose its network.
I would get a X next to SIM indicator. No Signal. I swapped the SIM into other phone, the SIM works fine.
I put other working sim in the E3 D2212, again no Network. No Data (2G, 3G). Only WiFi works
So I decided to roll back to D2212_18.5.B.0.26_Customized IN.ftf via Flashtool
Still no dice. I still see no network.
When I hit *#*#7378423#*#*
I think (repeat think) the phone is SIM Locked.
No matter which slot (1 or 2) I insert it, I don't get Network or DATA
But I can certainly vouch the Same Vodafone IN SIM was working on the phone earlier.
Any help in this regards is greatly appreciated.

Did you flashed the stock rom correctly?
Well I thought so
HI @vincy009
Many thanks for responding. Appreciate your help.
Well I thought I did.
I referred to a few youtube videos to do it using flash tool.
Also, pls note, I also tried flashing back Vinay's Nitrogen ROM, that too would not get Network.
So,it was 100% issue with the way I was flashing the rom (Stock or other)
Eventually, I surrendered and sent the Phone to Sony who refused to fix it citing it to be out of warranty due to unlocked boot loader
So I had to submit to a local Mobile repair shop who fixed it.
But I am yet to ascertain what exactly he did.
In the mean time, I have already read the Newbie's Q&A and other threads where they explain how to use flash tool.
If there is an accurate thread/howto/etc, pls point me to that, so that I can avoid mistakes in future.
Maybe you done something wrong in flashing step or it wud have been any Lil hardware problem.. If wanna do new things always get a nandroid backup.. So it wont get mess up.
Hi folks,
Currently using an Xperia Z3 Dual D6683 running Lollipop 5.0.2. It's rooted with a locked bootloader. I've been waiting for ages for Sony to release the Marshmallow upgrade for this specific model, but I've heard there isn't gonna be one (dunno if it's true or not).
So I've been thinking, since the D6683 and D6633 variants of the Dual have basically the same hardware, is it possible for me to flash the D6633's Marshmallow ROM directly to this phone? Would it work fine, would it have some minor issues, or would it brick my phone? Anyone tried this yet?
Hoping for your feedback guys. Thanks a lot!
@xxiteruxx
I don't own amy of the models D6633 / D6683, but I've done some search on it and it appears that the D6683 is the Hong Kong DualSim variant if I'm not mistaken.
Therefore the difference to the D6633 would only be the radios, as the d6633 is capable of European LTE networks and the D6683 isn't (only two).
I don't want to guarantee anything, but you could try and edit the update-binary/script of a D6633 rom and match it to your model and flash away. I assume you won't get the network working, it'll error probably.
That's my guess, hope it helps.

I've just done exactly as you described (d6683 flashed with d6633 marshmallow) and haven't had any issues at all. However, this is probably because both phone's LTE bands are what my carrier is on. Others (US carriers?) haven't been so lucky.
Anyway, here's what I did on my own d6683:
1. downgraded to KK using flashtool, d6633 FTF file; loosely following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
2. rooted with giefroot
3. installed Dual recovery
4. flashed MM Rom zip (d6633)
5. flashed recroot v4
6. wiped cache
Everything's been great thus far. Only snag I hit was when I got into a bootloop after I'd first downgraded - I just flashed the FTF again but made sure to wipe APP_LOGS and USERDATA.
hey @neverborn
Thanks for the tip! I did my homework and found D6683 utilizes LTE Bands 1, 3 and 7. Where I am, the carriers use LTE Bands 1, 3, 5, 7 and 41. I also checked D6633 and saw it supports those bands, except for 41 which really isn't much of a problem, I think. I'll try your method and will reply back with the results. Cheers!
Okay, was doing fine until I began rooting using giefroot. Always getting the message that my device is unrooted. Tried it 3 times, and still it failed. So, I used Kingroot instead, and was able to install Dual recovery. Now succesfully flashed MM, wiped cache and dalvik just to be sure. Rebooted successfully, but now I can't root using Recroot V4. Still trying to figure this last step out.
Okay, I'm stuck. I'm always getting this message:
"* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Rebooting into TWRP recovery ...
Press any key to continue . . ."
After that the phone just restarts and doesn't go to TWRP. Tried to do everything all over again, still the same thing. Any thoughts?
Finally figured out what I was doing wrong.
1. After downgrading to D6633 KK, I didn't untick "Verify Apps", that's why Giefroot failed to install SuperSU
2. This is one of those moments where you keep on kicking yourself for not figuring out the obvious. After flashing D6633 MM, I rebooted immediately, extracted Recroot V4, connected my phone to PC, and ran install.bat. That's where I keep failing. Then I read your instructions again, and you said "flashed recroot v4", not "extract". So, banged my head against the wall for being stupid, and tried everything all over again. This time FLASHING RecRoot after flashing MM.
And it worked! Successfully flashed rooted MM for D6633 on my D6683. LTE network on both of my SIMs also work the same as before. I'm now a happy camper.

Good to hear - I hope banging your head didn't hurt too much
I just wanted to share my experience updating my d6683 Lollipop to d6633 MM.
What I did was I downloaded MM ftf from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/stock-marshmallow-6-0-1-build-23-5-0-t3357509
downloaded the flash tool from this link https://depositfiles.com/files/o1qgv8a61
then flashed the phone and I'm happy that I was able to upgrade to MM without having any problems.
Now which bands can you use? Can you use lte band 20? See in the service menu.
The carriers here don't have band 20, so I'm afraid I can't answer that. What we have here that's supported by D6633 are bands 1, 3, 5 and 7.

By saying E6633 you mean the Xperia Z5 Dual? I think that's just a typo but in case it wasn't, you can't flash an Xperia Z5 Dual ROM to an Xperia Z3 Dual phone.
But in case it was a typo, then YES, flashing the D6633 ROM to the D6683 model will also change the model number in the About menu. I don't have a shot of what it says before, but here's what my About menu looks like now.

Glad to help, and happy flashing. Been using it for over a month now and no issues so far.
What I did was I downloaded MM 23.5.A.1.291 ftf from this "xperiablog.net"
downloaded the flash tool then flashed the phone and I'm happy that I was able to upgrade to Marshmallow (with STAMINA) . Everything work OK.
Sorry, I can't see it. I was able to get decent LTE speed without any problems

your z3 dual d6683 from lollipop 5.0.2 you flashed straight to MM rom for d6633? no need to flash first to kk for d6633 firmware?
I also have a D6683 and I flash MM roms for D6633. It works quite good but sometimes I have signal loss which I didn't have with stock original LP rom for D6683 (5.0)
Did anyone notice the same ? I tried to flash original LP rom amss 1, 2, fsg, system/etc/firmware folder and system/etc/customization but the second sim get disabled somehow. I can't figure why I get this disconnection and how I can use the D6683 original firmware files...
Need some help, tried to run the radiozip and still do not have my LTE bands. I am running 6045O Cricket Varient. Tried different roms flashing the zip with a 5.02 rom. Still no luck and no change with the lte radio signal.
I am doing something wrong?
Thank You in advance you guys are great on here.
use Alcatel mobile upgrade Q 5.0.6 PC app to return to stock with all partitions and it will work. But you have to keep in mind, that (if it is avaliable for your model) the mobile upgrade q will flash the latest firmware, which should be MM.

Hello thank your for your reply. I did try this but I am getting the error No available device is detected. Please check the COM port status.
Any Ideas?
Thank You
install drivers from the app folder, reboot computer, turn the device off, run the mobile upgrade app hit start, connect device

What are my options if I've used the Q upgrade 10+ times and still only have 4G HSPA. I tried flashing famewolf's backup radio and my own, to no avail.
Cricket 60450
edit: This is the second time I lost LTE. To recover LTE the first time i had to flash Mobile Q three times. That was about three weeks back. I made a backup of that radio with the save2sd script by famewolf and that also does not work.
Hello everybody, I'm new to sony phones but not to android rooting.
I have bought a second hand xperia XA 3115 that was locked to vodafone australia, got the code and when i put a telstra sim it works but not in 4g. The APN settings can't be modified (when I save it says that i can't ).. Do you guys had the same expeience?
I am open to try a different rom (got the files and the unlock code for the boot loader) but I didn't go for it as I rather collect more informations before I jump into it as the bootloader it says not unlockable. Is that a workaround for that (backing up before the dmr) so I can root it and hopefully gain the ability to modify the APN?
Thank you for your precious time, thank you XDA family for the endless fun you provide
Gabriel
Managed to get the data working after a full reset but nos stays on 3g and at times goes to h+ but not 4g. Speedtest gives 19 mb Gonna test next days. I would like to undestand tho if there's a way to root it even with boot locked.
thank you!

Can you post exactly what the message is when you try to save settings, and it says you can't... Also, I guess you tried Settings > more > mobile networks > preferred network type?
Hi, it does save but the option APN on/of is faded and can't do much. It takes but just 3g. Having a chat with a telstra operator right now but they don't know shiat!
Weird, phone was locked Vodafone now using telstra. They have no idea and now not even MMS or sms are working.

Did you already do 'download Internet and mms settings' from data options? Maybe sim card is funky...
How do you do that? Sim is 3 months old perfectly working on another phone. Tried millions of APN settings but no luck, I can save them but no 4g no sms MMS. I've also read of people not solving with root I am waiting to do that as don't know if I can root it easy due to locked bootloader.
If that helps
Flash the Custom AU firmware via Flashtool/xperia firm,
there is no need to unlock bootloader unless you need root which can be done after update & phone working.
the Vodafone firmware is still behind in its updates,the custom AU does not have all the carrier branding &
works across all carriers here,
Below is the latest N version details for the (F3115)
Device: Xperia XA (F3115)
CDA: 1302-4361
Market: Australia
Operator: Customized AU
Network: GENERIC
Version: 33.3.A.0.131 / R2B
Size: 1.76 GB
If you just want to update MM use the custom AU version for that and not the Vodafone one,
and remember if you have problems use Sony PC companion to restore the phone back to factory
default and start again, BUT PC companion will not restore phone if you have unlocked bootloader
in that case use sonys Emma or Flashtool to do it.
