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?

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?
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?
Trying to determine which region of the latest firmware to flash from xperiafirm for my e6653. I am on AT&T. I've looked around the forum and see the UK + US frankenbuild to make it register as an e6603 using the 6653 UK files + rest of US.
My guesses as to the best are either Nordic Combined (1298-7362) or Customized UK (1298-5496). Both are on build 32.2.A.0.224 but Nordic Combined is on R12C and Customized UK is on R11C.
Does this even matter? Does reception vary with the different firmwares? My reception is pretty bad in the US SF Bay Area with this phone on AT&T.
Thanks!
for what it is worth, i've checked the hashes on the modem files from Nordic Combined vs. the US 6603 build (1300-4290_32.2.A.0.224_R3C) - they're the same.
It doesn't make a difference. The difference is all about bloatware so I always just use the build which is smallest in size.
Saves u some debloating
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Any E6653 Firmware will go onto any E6653
But not a e6653 fw on a e6603 for logical reasons some of which resulting in a bricked device possibly
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
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.
Hi I bought my phone from the internet , my phone is a Sony Xperia XZ Premium Dual Sim dual SIM EN / ZH from UK should I use Europe version
The firmware is almost the same except for the carrier's custom software. (Note: US firmware cannot use fingerprints)
