Hello all i have bought a xperia C a month ago.
I'm currently in china and have a lot of chinese app on my phone and not the gapps.
I have found a way to install Gapps but my phone is in 16.0.A.0.47 or i saw update for 16.0.B.x.x ....i try tu update my xperia with pc compagnon but it's says im already at the lastest version.
I saw some screen and your model number is C2305
Mine is S39h
I don't know if it's change something but apparently it's exactly the same sony xperia C different Model number for different country... So Any way to have the english rom with gapps pre installed and last version on my xperia?
PS sorry for my english frenchtard over here who can't talk another langage than his native one.
I tried to find something form google but didn't find it. Can anyone give me a link of official UK firmware for XZ? Thanks.
P.S.
I really not understand why SONY US want to disable fingerprint scanner in US firmware.
Hi there!
You can use Xperifirm to get different firmwares for all Xperia devices including the XZ. Once you have downloaded the UK firmware flash it with flashtool.

It's copyright.
Another company in the USA holds the patent to the side mounted fingerprint reader, or something like that.

Thank you, I have flashed my XZ with UK firmware and enabled fingerprint scanner.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether these firmware are official version before my friend told me these are all from SONY server.
Hey, this is my first post and I'm inexperienced with Android tinkering so I apologize if I've broken any rules. I searched but would like clarification as Nougat has changed things.
Is there any way to enable the fingerprint reader after the Nougat OTA for the US version of the XZ F8331?
I mistakenly didn't realize Nougat had changed things and unwittingly soft bricked my XZ the other day but managed to unbrick it and really want to avoid bricking it again.
It seems that downgrading to Marshmallow via flashtool is possible? so maybe it could be possible to downgrade to the UK Marshmallow and then get the UK Nougat OTA and then get the fingerprint reader to function that way?
Any rom you use that isn't the US rom will allow fingerprint to work.
Right, but flashtool isn't compatible with Nougat yet. I just got the idea of using Emma though, will look into it more soon
Yeah, you can just flash an MM rom and update to Nougat via OTA.
EMMA will only work with devices with unlocked bootloaders.
You are correct in your first thought. Just flash a UK FTF for MM and get the OTA Nougat update.
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately the Customized UK MM FTF seems to be no longer available from XperiFirm and I haven't had any luck trying to find it elsewhere.
How much does the Market/Operator matter? Maybe a customized MM FTF from another region is better? Anything I should be worried about?

Not really. Only a bit of bloatware, everything else is about the same.
You may be able to find an older FTF from here though
Thanks again! There is a Customized UK FTF for MM on the site you linked but it can't be downloaded for free unfortunately.

I am wondering the same - new F8331 on N OTA and enabling the fingerprint reader. Any luck on your end figuring this out?
I've been running customized NOBA in my Z5 for a while here in the US and have been very happy with it. Customized NOBA for the XZ still hasn't been updated to Nougat, so that could be an option. I don't get to unwrap my XZ until Christmas, so I've already downloaded the MM version currently on Xperifirm to re-enable my fingerprint sensor first.
I like customized NOBA because it has bloatware you can completely uninstall.
You should be able to google the central europe firmware (marshmallow) and use that. I just fixed 2 XZs yesterday after banging my head against the wall over the firmware.
Update to marshmallow using flashtool and then OTA update to nougat. Central Europe works perfectly and I get the LTE symbol (some people hated the 4G symbol even though it's the same). Finger print scanner works (both phones are US versions from Amazon).
Help me please

So I just purchased one and i can't fix it using methods online. Can u help me one on one thru skype like now please, i appreciate it.
Question is, what inside the box for Singapore users? Device is F8332 XZ Dual. I purchased online and found something strange until I questioned about the genuinity of my device.
Mine got earphone MH750 and standard charger UCH20.
Is the SG version really get that straight from the box? Thanks.
Ur not the only one buddy...I got the same ****y earphones like u and same charger as u...earphones are the same since Xperia z3...dont know why Sony made a decision like that ,probably to cut the cost of the phone and so on...it s a shame that firms like Samsung gives u Hi-end earphone while we get a 3 year old earphones on xperias.... THANKS Sony thats all i can say.
Thanks for the information man. So you also got in ear earphone MH750 and standard charger UCH20 right? One more, can you please help me take screenshot of *#*#7378423#*#* then service test then security? My XZ Dual didn't have Marlin Keys and has Factory Data Reset: Masterclearconfirm status. I'm afraid this is not genuinely new device and might complain to the seller.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I just got this phone SO-01J in docomo version which is installed with Android 7, but I found it not running really smoothly. I wonder if downgrading to 6.0 will be better. And I checked that it's NOT ALLOWED in bootloader unlock. So can I do this ? If so , which firmware I should choose to download?
I found an article shows an valid downgrade with F8331, it uses Xperia Flashtool and Xperia Companion. does this method also apply for SO-01J? If not, what's the proper way of doing so?
Many thanks.
What do you mean by it's not smooth? You're getting lags in gaming? Or the whole os is lagging? If the whole os is lagging then i think you should do a software repair with Xperia Companion... By the way... This phone can be updated to oreo

Thanks for replying! The whole os is quite lagging, even when I'm only running normal apps such as dialing, messages, camera and browser. Sometimes such experience just really annoys me.
And it has many Japanese Apps which are I hardly use and I want to get rid of them. So I'd like to get a downgrade to see if 6.0 would be better.
It wouldn't give a big changes tho....Android 7 shouldn't be lagging on your phone... About the mm firmware... Download flashtool and open xperifirm(something like that) and choose any mm firmware for SO-01J.. And flash it using the flashtoo.. lhttps://www.teamandroid.com/2017/04/11/downgrade-xperia-xz-android-601-marshmallow-firmware/ <---- tutorial about how to flash firmware using FlashTool...
I'm not responsible if you bricked your device while doing this process

Thanks, but it seems that in XperiFirm for SO-01J there is only the latest updated firmware available. (39.2.B.0.336) I don't know if I can use other versions' firmwares, such as F8331, F8332 for my SO-01J.
I'm not really sure because I'm not very good in firmwares...But try to give a software repair(software repair from Xperia Companion) a try... Because it shouldn't lag on your phone so something is wrong with your os... Software repair may fix your problem.. By the way.. Is there any option for you to update to oreo on your XZ?
