Hello guys.
Pleas tell me if I can flash D6633 firmware on D6683. I've searched everywhere and there is no answer.
Thank you!
Yes
Sure you can!
I did for mine. D6683 running on D6633 firmware. It's ok.
Basically, the hardware of both devices is similar, the D6683 was modified to support Hongkong LTE network.
Can you tell me how to flash it? I tried with flashtool and it says that the firmware is not for this phone... or something like that. I have Locked Bootloader.
Thanks
How was this? Got a D6683 also.
I've managed to install IT. You download The firmware with xperifirm and create The ftf with flashtool v 0.9.18.6. Before you start The ftf creation just delete fwinfo from the downloaded folder. Then you flash the firmware. Flashtool won't recognize The d6633 but Will ask you what Phone you have. Select D66xx and IT starts.
So now your phone says it's a d6633? And there aren't any bugs? What are the prerequisites for using the flashtool to flash an ftf? Sorry just got this phone new(locked bootloader no root)

Have you tested the radio bands to see if they all work the same as a D6633? Curious as thinking of buying one, but the D6683 has less working bands.
D6683 LTE radio
Hi, I am also interested in finding out whether D6683 have a hardware radio for the LTE 800Mhz band. I think other models (e.g. D6633) have it. If D6683 have it then it should just be a matter of software tweaking, what procedures can I refer to for activating this LTE frequency? Thanks.

I think it may not work well, asked the same question in another thread:

Hello,
does the LTE-Band 20 (800 MHz) work?
Thanks,
Tom
Would be unstable and probably not functional unfortunately
Hello
Is there one wants to experience the renovation Marshmallow D6633 to D6683 model?

I have the US version of the Sony Tipo dual and I flashed the newest firmware for a Sony Tipo ST21i2 it works but I need a US baseband to use t-mobile data... does anyone know where I can either get the latest US stock rom or some US basebands it appears that flashing the rom might have changed the frequency bands on my Tipo or it might just be the rom can't access the 1900 AWS band I'd need for reframed T-Mobile data.

Use xperiaFirm....:angel:
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?
Hi, I want to find out whether D6683 have a hardware radio for the LTE 800Mhz band. I think other models (e.g. D6633) have it. I read that flashing D6633 firmware onto D6683 were buggy but can't tell if this is because of the differences in firmware or hardware.
If the D6683 have the radio hardware then it should just be a matter of software tweaking within the D6683 firmware, what procedures can I refer to for activating this LTE frequency? Thanks.
I'm new please help
please tell me have to unlock the bootloader xperia z3v ? I want to flash the firmware from xperia z3 d6603 Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Answers
1. Try flashtool it easy, efficient and time saving.
2. Why would you want to flash D6603 firmware Z3V and Z3 you might think are similar phones but with different baseband .
3. Here is the link for a video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRvBMMtIkJI

the xperia z3v lte band is not as wide as on the model xperia z3 d6603 , lte band will work after flashing d6603 in
are you sure about this because most of the time you wouldn't be able to use your sim because of baseband mismatching
Good day all, hope I'm on the right place/post here.
Wondering if someone can help, I've purchased a Xperia XA F3113 via Amazon from SA.
Phone works 99.9%, the other 0.01% is my issue.
To start with all the settings are set to LTE(Preferred)/WCDMA/GSM, my carrier Vodacom has sent and verified that my sim is LTE activated (Used the same sim on other phones with LTE present)
Here's everything I did to resolve the problem....
1- Phone came from USA with android 6 and no LTE signal just 3g (In a 4G environment)
2- Vodacom sent settings and confirmed. did not work
3- Spoke to Sony and they suggested I upgrade software
4- Upgraded software via Sony Companion to Nougat Android 7
5- Vodacom re-send the LTE settings still no luck.
6- If I search the mobile networks it only finds 3g-Vodacom, 2g-Vodacom, MTN, Cell C NO LTE on any network. Screen shot Attached....
7- Think I've reached Google's end of their information network (searched everything)
OK so now I'm thinking I want to flash/re-install ROM/Firmware with SA (South African) settings due to different Base band versions.
I came across a link but are not allowed to post it yet due to my 1ste post on you're site. But the ink only have the "(F3112_1302-4393_33.3.A.0.127-R1B_Customized_SA.ftf)" for model F3112 dual sim and apparently it wont work on the F3113 single sim....
Google this: 2017/06/xperia-xa-android-7-0-nougat-firmware
Can Anyone maybe help or have some suggestions except for returning the phone.....?
Thnx

Hi, I think that it will not solve your problem. Did not you asked yourself why Sony sell 3 differents single sim device (F3111, F3113 and F3115)?
Look here and "Networks":
http://www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2016-xperias/xperia-xa/
And if I look here Vodacom SA uses LTE B3 for 4G:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodacom-south-africa
To confirm your problem if you look here you will see that only F3111 and F3115 will have 4G on Vodacom SA:

Be careful next time you buy a device

You can try but it will probably brick your device or Flashtool will not let you flash it (never tested). Firmwares are not unified probably for a good reason. Maybe an other user can confirm if it works or not

I don't want to break your hopes but the problem is not your network provider so changing some lines in build.prop will not enable LTE Band 3 on your device. It's a modem feature (or maybe related to modem firmware if you are lucky) so it's on the hardware side of your phone. You can try but I know the result The better way is to know if modem chips are same on all XA Single Sim and, if yes, try to flash the modem firmware from a F3111 or F3115.
Cool, will investigate and try that. Thank a lot

Flashing ROMs from F3111 or F3115 to F3113 is not a good idea. Like @rrvuhpg said it can brick your device. My advice is to send it back and ask for different model (if they have it, because you have warranty). There is also a possibility to change just baseband, but I don't have expirience in extracting baseband. I remember that when I used Huawei G510 I flashed MIUI rom with Chinese baseband and then developer added one small .zip file to flash it for other regions and it worked (but I changed that ROM because it takes too much resources for a that phone). So try contacting some senior developer or google for it, but do this if you can't change your phone, because you will lose warranty if you root phone.
Thank you guys I will definitively try some of you're advice's, thanks again....... Will give feedback asap. have a good one..
