Hi,
I have a Xperis Z3 Tablet compact, 32GB version. I bought it from Japan on Ebay because it wasn't available here in Australia. It seems that there won't be any OTA updates here either, so I would like to know which firmware I should download using Xperifirm.
What is a 'Customised' firmware download? I guess my preferences would be for US or UK versions, but I guess the Japan one will do as I can change languages OK.
Any help for these please.

Afternoon guys,
First, sorry by my poor English.
I'm looking for a Xperia Z3 D6643 firmware without operator customizations. I already downloaded the XperiFirm, but have only 6633 and 6653 Z3 firmwares.
If someone know where do I can find this, case you need more information about my device, I will provide.
Thanks!
IaguCool already is working in this, thanks a lot
I've seen now in the XperiFirm thread, IagoCool is already discovering the D6643 firmwares on Sony's servers. Thanks!

So, I've seen, I hate the operator's customizations. My phone is with Claro's customization.
I want a unbranded firmware, like the "1281-5466 Customized BR" Z2 firmware.. I thinking about install the Commercial and Journalists version, but I'm not confortable to do that, so I will wait for the "Customized BR".

So, I will wait, I've seen the file size, 1.5 GB vs 1.1 GB of the Claro's customized version, I think this will have much more crap. Waiting for the unbranded / retail version...
Still waiting for the D6643 retail firmware.
Same here... still waiting for generic D6643 firmware....
I'm also waiting for the D6643 Customized BR, without operator stuff : )
what would this journalists version lack that the official firmware should have? in my opinion, if you want journalists to write about your phone, you wouldn't cripple it, would you? anyways, if i had my phone with me now I would install that. but it hasn't arrived yet
Hello everyone,
I'm also looking for a customized version of firmware without operators stuff, and I seen the "Promoter" and "Store-Front" versions in XperiFirm, anyone know about it?
Sorry for my poor english...
up
Waiting too...
Still Waiting for that! Someone found it?
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 ?...
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.
Hey all, my xperia 5ii came last week and has build 58.0.A.10.3. i know a new update is out. my phone is factory unlocked. the update does not show on the phone or in xperia companion.
i'm in canada, sony no longers sells phones in canada. could this be the issue?
It seems 58.0.A.22.21 was released for Europe/Russia only.
i wonder if that means i'll never get an update as sony sells no phones in canada.
also if it goes by north america i might also be screwed as i have the dual sim phone.
maybe i just nee to vpn to the uk and try from my computer.
I am also in canada and am on same firmware. Presumably you also have the XQ-AS72 model? Taiwan version? I suspect we have to wait for a newer version for this model. I don't think location matters - I have tried VPN and nothing came up.
Here you can find what the latest build is for your device:

For sure you'll get the update for your version of the phone, its not location limited, no VPN is needed.
How can I confirm where my phone came from?
Seller said it's from the UK.

sorted it out, I have the XQ-AS72.
Seems it's the HK version.
HK version says the latest is
58.0.A.28.25
Not sure why the update is not showing up.

Is this generic (customized) HK version (that one should get the update) ?
Or carrier specific ?
You can check details described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/how-to/guide-how-to-check-sony-customization-t3520538

I've missed that.
XperiCheck says the latest for HK is 58.0.A.10.3, the same states xperifirm
so the XQ-AS72. sim free 256gb version, is only available in HK, Taiwan, and japan. guess it will be the last on the list to roll out updates. i'm ok with this as the extra storage is worth it for me.

Same, the software is stable enough that the updates don't really matter
I don't get it. I'm in the Netherlands, Vodafone as provider. My model is Xperia 5 II (XQ-AS52) and have build# 58.0.A.12.23. And security patches of 1-aug-2020. According to xpericheck https://xpericheck.com/device/XQ-AS52 , Vodafone should be on 58.0.A.22.21 and security 1-10-2020.
I bought the 256 gb model... it shpuld be the model for HK or TW markets...
Model is XQ-AS72...
Firmware is fix on 58.0.A.10.3. No update avaible!
Security patch 1 August 2020
I have a problem with proximity sensor during calls...
The display flickers as if the proximity sensor is jerking...
Big problem because new call starts...
I hope that Sony will release an update asap.

Please make sure your thumb is not touching the fingerprint reader while answering. (this happened to me initially)
This would trigger an unlock event while the proximity sensor is trying to "lock" the screen, creating a cascade of conflicting events.

I have had my 5II (EE UK) for about a month and it's already been updated twice. Phone is an XQ-AS52 128gb.
Latest update was 58.0.A.28.25.
Does anyone have any experience of Sony and how often they update phones?

Xperia 5 II is new device and usually it will take some time for the rollout of updates, as probably development is busy with US rollout (just guessing) and more than just security patches need to integrated (e.g. some bugs of initial releases).
For a sample of update history you may check Xperia 5:

Of course my model is TAIWAN!!! Argh... I still have to wait!!!
Hi I have a A326B/DS smartphone and the only firmware I can see online is from the Brazil region. I live in the UK and can see this was also an international model. So no idea why the only firmware online seems to be from Brazil.
My question is, I'm wanting to root/flash the device. Do I stick with the Brazil option, or should I use a A326B Firmware which looks like its from the UK (No DS on the end specific to my model)
