What kind of variant do I have? (D6646) - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently bought a Z3 and I received today, I come from a Z1 so I know that there are different variations, I was reading how to be root on the Z3 and says that I have to downgrade to 23.0.A.2.93 (for D6603 / D6653) or 23.0.F.1.74 (for D6633) the problem is that my device says it's a D6646 and can't find firmware for this device anywhere including xperifirm, What firmware can I use? I don't want to lose the 32gb and LTE. I attached several screenshots with more complete information

If not mistaken d6646 is the model for American region..

Is there a way to backup the entire firmware? (All partitions including system, modem, etc.) in case of loosing LTE bands or the 32gb of internal storage trying to downgrade to get root

I made a huge advance, I tried to root my device using KingRoot and works! ? (I know that some people says that KingRoot sends the IMEI to china but don't cares if it's true) I installed NUT's dual recovery, flashed SuperSU, deleted KingRoot, I have full Root access.
Also I create a backup from: PC Companion, Flashtool, PRFCreator.
At the beginning I though that my device was a clone, falsification, etc. But PC Companion detected and could download the correct firmware (D6646 23.4.A.1.232 Customized-US GLOBAL32G-LTE)
I'm happy now but why I can't find any information for this variant?

Seems pretty much an unbranded version of the D6616 from TMO.

I would like to get a d6646 z3 anyone have an idea where I might be able to get one

D6646 firmware ftf
Disculpen alguien me puede ayudar no encuentro el firmware del z3 d6646 lo necesito urgente alguien sabe donde conseguirlo o me lo puede facilitar gracias a todos.

I´m sorry guys, but a company here offered me a Z3 D6646 (the LTE, 32Gb version of Z3) at an amazing price ($400) and, of course, I want to root it ASAP.....does anyone know a method? I was reading here a lot but all the methods are for the Z3 D6603, D6653 and D6633 versions. And, I want to avoid KingRoot if possible
If anyone can send the in the right direction, I would much appreciate that.
TIA.

D6643 or D6633?

I'm looking at buying a Xperia z3 but I do not know which variant d6643 or d6633 choose (in Brazil only these are available) the resources of each tv or dual chip are useless to me and so I want to know which are likely to have more developers and sony support.
Looking in the forum I have seen more people with d6633 variant but without a good support and those which have d6643 are seeing to have kernel and rom's working in their devices just loosing digital tv.
D6633 is dual sim .
The d6643 I don't know. I think don't exist.

As far as my research has gone, D6643 is made for Brazil with all the LTE bands that D6633 has except D6633 has dual sim (as mentioned above.) As a matter of fact, of all the variants of the Z3 (aside from the D6616 which is tailor-made for T-Mobile's unique LTE bands and has all those T-Mobile apps pre-installed) LTE bands are the only differences. Support-wise the D6643 is only sold in Brazil so it may get less custom ROM's and stuff than the D6633 which is sold worldwide. It's your choice whether to get the single sim Z3 (D6643) or the dual sim (D6633.) Hope that helps!

Samsung S8 Plus Model SM-G9550 flashing G955F firmware

I've purchased 6gb ram, 128gb memory phone which is dual sim (blue coral) and would like to flash G955F firmware so that i can have full english (not the breakfast). Has anyone done this successfully? any advise would be appreciated.
I don't fancy bricking my device so asking here if its safe to do so.
Hello. Yes it's possible only with custom rom if you can install twrp recovery in your Chinese device. You can't install the stock firmware with odin...

So I have to root, twrp flash custom ROM and then can flash firmware via twrp?
No need to root. You just need twrp to install a custom rom for your model. But if I were you, I won't install a custom rom cause your warranty will be cancel and your secure folder won't work anymore...
Next time buy a full international version dual sim, model with FD at the end, like G955FD. But I'm not sure 128GB exists for the international model [emoji848]

I bought this model for 6gb ram, didn't envisage this issue. There's hardly any chinese but would have preferred full English
I was under the impression you could flash any official firmware to any model.
You cann't do this cause your device have Snap 835, and 955F is Exinos model. I can only advice you to flash HonkKong firmware. It will have English.

+ different modem
if its about the language then use any app to change system locale
you dont need root to change locale
i used this app before and did exactly what i wanted (check help inside the app for more details)

there are many apps but this one was easier for me
hope it helps

Really? Cause everyone whose tried that the other way around has hard bricked...
Sure, it will work. but the TMO only S8 not S8+ are working. Identifi itself as G950U. You can install a alot of different Roms. Especially in China are a lot of good Roms. I installed a lot of them, and figured out a method of install that works in 8 from 10 tries from cross Flash.
But i can upload my favority China Rom. Called G95X0_7.0_Soul_V7.

I will upload the next days all Roms i have.
way Talking about the 835 version Brush process:
0 first brush into the Bank of China system, so easy to unlock crom.
1 because the 835 version does not oem lock, crom lock. Please install crom before brushing machine unlock tool, is a apk
open on the network after the operation to unlock. (Please remember s6 s7edge same)
2 unlock is completed, use the memory card to copy the card brush rom, mobile phone into the line brush mode with odin line brush into the corresponding version of the TWRP card brush rom can, this step and 8895 exactly the same

I purchased a dual sim SM-G955FD while in Kuwait. It doesn't have the Wi-Fi calling & HD Voice/Video options installed. I want to get the correct software to flash my s8 plus to fully have all the functions that Samsung store claimed would work worldwide.
Email me back, I would be happy if someone could walk me through this

Hello. It's carrier options. First you need to install your carrier firmware. Second, your carrier needs to support those options...

Hello this is only for that model
Latin América has 3 diferent models
Im using the L03C121
Could this firmware apply for my model?
The model presented in the previous post is the standard in the region, for its Single or Dual versions ... if the one you have in your post is from a specific provider you should wait for it to release that update ... just as it did Claro from Peru ...

In fact if it is applicable to your model since it is from the same region ... only it will not be fully compatible since it will show in the compilation of it in the settings section that the update is not the official one for the provider itself.

What files should I download? udpate zip (is same for the 2 models?) , update full l23 zip and update data full public?
If you have the standard version for Latin America which is the RNE-L23C605 being this the DUAL version, you have to download the Uppdate.zip, the L23 hwla and the public ... and then follow the steps given by the HWOTA post depending if you are in Nougat or Oreo ...
If you have the RNE-L03C605, you should download the uppdate.zip, the L03 hwla and the public, follow the steps of the HWOTA post ...
If by chance you did rebrand previously to obtain OREO from other regions you should return to the OEIMFO of our region ... to be able to proceed ...
All this depends on the specific version of your mobile ... since it must be the same one you have the one you want to install ... if you install the one that is not ... you will cause the compile brick and you will say that the Firmware does not correspond to the region or your mobile.

Great news for Latin America.
I have two questions, I hope you can help me:
1.- ¿Which firmware should I use if I have the RNE-L03C521B130 versión? I'm from México and the carrier is Movistar.
2.- ¿Any idea of how to unlock the bootloader now that the huawei page is down?
Thanks in advance.
dude
because the version
RNE-L03 / L23 C605 has 2 OTAS? I am downloading them from the firmware application and when I finish downloading the OTA it tells me that I need the other OTA, that is, 100% update goes to 50%, is this normal?
como se instala esto? tengo un L23 con rebrand L21 en oreo, si ago rebrand a l23 podre instalar esta no?

Someone who succeed updating to oreo RNE-L23C605 can share their oeminfo and custom.bin to developer in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...other-development/oeminfo-collection-t3762385
Thanks in advance.

Which stock firmware I should download for my device

Hi all, I have bought new Sony XZ, In the back of device I see AU SOV34 branch. At present it running on android 7.1
Now I want to upgrade it to 8.0 by flashtool.
But in about phone, I see it model F8331 and in Service Info/Software Info/Customization Version it's 1305-2218_R2D (Hongkong market)
I'm so confused about these pieces of information
Could you please give me an advice. Thanks all so much!
Edit1: I'm in Vietnam Region
I do not think it'll be okay if you flash F8331 firmware over another model, and i think it has some difference between F8331 and Japanese Version (at least on cellular frequencies that means it has possibility to lose its LTE capable).

Thank you, I flashed F8331 version, it's worked. But Android 8 seems to drain the battery faster than android 7 on XZ?

Convert "SM-N986N" to "Provider Free"

Hello
I have some experiences with Xiaomi Phones and unlocking, flash other firmware with them.
Now i changed to a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon Version. Modelnumber "SM-N986N" and Software Version "N986NKSU1ATH1/N986N0KR1ATH1/N986NKSU1ATH3.
I have serveral questions and hope you can help me in this case:
1. I live in Switzerland and bought this device from a online shop. It seems look like this device is from Korea.
2. Everything works OK, also the network with my provider from switzerland and with my swiss sim card.
3. There are serveral bloatware in this device, also a provider bootscreen with "SKT 5GX"
4. I have also some carrier menues in the settings.
My question: Is it possible to flash a "Carrier free" firmware? If yes how? And which firmware? I read Samsung peopel flash firmwares with "Odin" Software.
How can i check if the bootloader is unlocked on this device? With Xiaomi phones i did it with Mi Flash Tool and had some waiting times before the bootloader can be unlocked.
Would be very greatful for a help.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
That's the same version (SK Telecom) I have, but I live in South Korea. Right now, I'm only aware of the Snapdragon variant being sold in the US, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong - probably others. You should be able to unlock the oem bootloader in developer settings; I'm not certain just changing the setting there is enough to actually unlock it though. It may require further steps in adb /fastboot or some other method. (It's been a long time since I've messed with a Samsung phone.) Also, I've yet to see firmware with XAA designation, which is carrier free, but it's still early days. You will need a patched version of Odin to flash a different firmware:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
A safer fix for now might be to debloat all of that SK carrier specific stuff using ADB commands. ADB AppControl provides a GUI to easily identify and uninstall or deactivate any apps you don't want. I know it's not what you're looking for, but I wouldn't expect a lot of development for the Snapdragon version, especially the Korean variant.

You need to change the handset csc to KOO which is the Korean unbranded csc. I can see that your handset csc is currently SKT. You need to check through the S20 forum for methods of how to change your csc.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-20-ultra-5g/firmware/SM-N986N/KOO/Can anyone confirm if the old samfirm program will work?

Hi, thank you so much for your information!
Have now further question about it:
After i switch on unlocking bootloader in the developer setting, can i just flash this KOO Firmware over my SK Firmware? Or do i need to change the "CSC" from my handset first like west2cool said in the previous post? Do i really need a different Odin version to do this?
I saw this discussion: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/help/changing-csc-t4090259
It seems look like, i don't need to change the CSC, because i saw 3 different firmwares for SM-N986N and the KOO is the unbranded Korean version. Here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-20-ultra-5g/firmware/#SM-N986N
So can i just click unlock bootloader and flash it with odin with the instructions on the right side? https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-N986N/KOO/download/N986NKSU1ATH1/357959/
Thank you for your help.

Hi, thank you for your help!
So did i understand you correctly: Do i need to change first this CSC (what is this) to KOO? I saw under my modelnumber by sammobile there was 3 different firmwares online. One was KOO. Can i install it directly with odin after i switch on unlock bootloader under developer settings?
Thank you for your help

Yes you do need to change the csc first. When you searched for your mobile firmware on Sammobile you would have found software for 3 or 4 different csc as those are the country specific codes for Korea. All of them are branded operator software with the exception of KOO. If you flash the KOO software without changing csc nothing will happen and the phone will remain branded.

Hi Sir
So, i just flashed the KOO Version with odin, without change the CSC. Flashing was sucessfull, but everything is the same like before and device has been reseted.
If i install the KOO Rom, i need to put 5 files to Odin. Once is this CSC file, which was in the KOO Firmware Folder. So, i need to replace this CSC File with a other one, right?
So, which CSC File should i take? Can i just replace it with a other one from a other country?

When you flashing the firmware you need to use csc Home in order to keep your data. But as I said you need to change csc first.
All four CSC's listed on Sammobile are the same - maybe that will change when firmware gets more updates. Just check on my phone, I went into "Settings" --> "About phone" and wrote down my IMEI Number. I opened my phone app, entered *#272*IMEInumber#, pressed dial and saw an MMI Invalid message before it closed. Now, I'm registered on SKT (SKC) , so it's possible there are no other CSC options available for me. @Lavendel Queen Try the dialer procedure to see if you have any options to change your CSC. If not, I don't think it's easy or straightforward to change CSC at this time.

That method using the dialer no longer work on Samsung phones since the release of the S20 series.

Well, that figures. I was just trying to help the OP. So, I guess changing the CSC is not an easy endeavor, and may not even be possible anymore.

There are still a few possibilities. Please follow the below links, both are waiting for apk or Software update. I haven't heard if anyone with a Note 20 tried the free apk yet.

Hi
Thank you for your help.
I already knew about this information from the S20 Forum. This steps are no more working. So i didn't get a list with CSC numbers after typing the dialer code for this.
So it seems look like everything is difficult with Samsung :====)
Today i sold my Note20 Ultra and bought Mi 10 Ultra. I am going back now to Xiaomi. Easier with Custom Roms, Rot, unlocking etc.
Kind regards

Hola
Tengo algunas experiencias con teléfonos Xiaomi y desbloqueo, flasheo otro firmware con ellos.
Ahora cambié a una versión Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon. Número de modelo "SM-N986N" y versión de software "N986NKSU1ATH1/N986N0KR1ATH1/N986NKSU1ATH3.
Tengo varias preguntas y espero que me puedan ayudar en este caso:
1. Vivo en Suiza y compré este dispositivo en una tienda en línea. Parece que este dispositivo es de Corea.
2. Todo funciona bien, también la red con mi proveedor de Suiza y con mi tarjeta SIM suiza.
3. Hay varios bloatware en este dispositivo, también una pantalla de arranque del proveedor con "SKT 5GX"
4. También tengo algunos menús de operadores en la configuración.
Mi pregunta: ¿Es posible actualizar un firmware "sin operador"? Si es así, ¿cómo? ¿Y qué firmware? Leí los firmwares flash de Samsung people con el software "Odin".
¿Cómo puedo verificar si el gestor de arranque está desbloqueado en este dispositivo? Con los teléfonos Xiaomi, lo hice con Mi Flash Tool y tuve algunos tiempos de espera antes de que se pudiera desbloquear el gestor de arranque.
Sería muy agradecido por una ayuda.
¡Gracias de antemano y que tengas un buen día!
