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.

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?

[Q] Purchased Xperia Z3 D6603 International unlocked

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 ?...

[Q] Firmware build and CDA

Hello everyone!
I recently unbranded my xperia Z3 but I forgot to write down my CDA. Is there any list of all avaiable firmware build from any region?
I'm italian, and I would be interested in TIM branded firmware.
I already know Xperifirm and my tim backup come from that tool. I just want to know if other TIM IT firmware exist and, in case, how to obtain them.
It's just to be sure sony will not void my warranty when I'll bring my phone in assistance.
Thanks in advance!
Bump
I am not sure what you asking but just have a FTF of your carrier firmware ready and flash it before getting it serviced. What's CDA?

SM-G920F from Spain got G920FXXU2COH2

Hi,
i've just bought a pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F when it was first launched. I didn't buy it to any mobile carrier, i got it through a Samsung point of sale in Spain called El Corte Inglés. Since then i've just been updating the firmware through OTA but today an update with baseband G920FXXU2COH2 got installed which i think it's from a french version. Could someone tell me if this is wrong? Also i would like to know if would it be safe to flash the G920FXXU2BOGB (Spain phe region) from Sammobile? I'm wondering if this could lead to issues because of being a downgrade.
I just want the stock firmware without mobile carrier modification which came with the mobile device.
Thanks a lot in advanced.
Finally i downloaded G920FXXU2BOGB_G920FPHE2BOGB_G920FXXU2BOGF_HOME.tar and flashed it through Odin but don't know why it still keeps annoying me about the G920FXXU2COH2 update. Which i think belongs to a French mobile carrier, it also change some icons to the ones shown in the next image http://i57.tinypic.com/2ms4kfq.png

I think you got the update to the latest 5.1.1, which has some features from the newer TW version (Note 5 and Edge Plus), the icons being one of them. The only thing that you should care about is that you don't have the carrier's boot animation or carrier's bloatware. If you don't have those then just enjoy the update!
Thank u very much Cloxed.
By the way, i hate the new TW icons it doesn't correspond with the rest of the icons.

3 UK firmware flashing options...

I have an XZ Premium (G8141) from the 3UK network. I want to use it in the US, likely as a WiFi only device. I want to flash the firmware to remove the 3UK branding. Trying to decide the best option. I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor working or not. If I did decide to use it on a mobile network it would be TMobile US.
I downloaded XperiFirm and for the G8141 there are a number of "Customized" options. If I went this way I imagine I would go with the Customized CE1 or UK version right? That would remove network customization and be a stock Sony firmware?
In the G8142 section there is a Customized US firmware. Is flashing this an option to get a US based firmware? What would be the negative side of doing this?
I appreciate any input. Thank you!

The only difference between the two customised versions is that the US one will have the fingerprint reader disabled.
Any customised firmware build will work, removing the 3UK logo, but avoid the US version if you use fingerprint unlock
Thank you for the response! Another question, are the Customized firmwares official Sony ones?
