Hi all,
My phone is Sony Xperia Plus H4493, and pre installed build number 50.1.A.11.40 (Oreo) HK firmware. Recently I notified an update via PC Companion, to the version 50.1.A.13.83 and installed it via PC Companion. But after this update, PC Companion is detecting my phone as "Sony H34", instead of "Sony Xperia XA2 Plus". Before installing that update, PC Companion correctly detected it as "Sony Xperia XA2 Plus", but not anymore. I even did software repair via PC Companion but no help. It still detects as "Sony H34". Phone is on original settings with Locked Bootloader.
Can anyone say why this happening? Why Xperia XA2 Plus became to H34 ?
Regards,
Have you tried to rename in build.prop? Might be able to google the build\device info and copy and past it into the build.prop..

I'm not rooted. That's why couldn't edit the build.prop. Problem is in build.prop file, product name. Anyway to edit it?

Alas, it would be impossible without rooting the phone first.

i figured it, the reason you cannot update is because there's no 11.3.A.2.13 update released for the stock version you have flashed.
if you have a copy of your old build.prop before you flashed that rom, you can use it to trick the pc companion into thinking you're in another region and allowing the update

impossible if there's no 11.3.a.2.13 on my stock rom because i saw that in setting - about phone build number has change to 11.3.a.2.13, then i downgrade again using flashtool because i wanted rooting my phone. now i can't upgrade again to my unrooted phone using PC Companion or Sony Update Service
Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if it's possible to debrand my xperia and install an original Sony firmware just changing my costumization number in the build.prop file and connect the phone to PC companion and make a repair installation.
Everything with bootloader locked and phone rooted.
Finally using this guide step one and two http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-download-firmware-customization-t2355982
Is it possible? Can anyone confirm that? Or twill there be some problems?
Thanks a lot!!

i dont know if repair via pcc can solve this kind of problem, but i can say the simplier way to do that is flashing fw ftf via flashtool without any build.prop editing because after this youll get fresh fw without any bugs but you can try the way you mentioned here, it cant harm your phone.
repair is not 100% solution

You can use SUS to 'update' your firmware, however it's more easy and simple by just flashing an FTF file which can be found here

I'm from Italy but I don't find an italian FTF file there. Where can I download it? Or which file should I use?
PS what is SUS?

You can/should use the worldwide FTF file mentioned in the reply above.
I'm from the Netherlands myself and most of West-Europe should simply use the worldwide file.
EDIT
About SUS, it stands for Sony Update Service, it's just like PC Companion but only the updating & repair of Xperia devices. It has no programs to transer files etc.

I have two last question:
From the guide I see I have to put my phone in Flash mode. Is it possible without unlocking my bootloader?
I have my phone rooted. If I flash a firmware with FTF will I lost my root?

1. You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash FTF files
2. Yes, you'll need to root your phone again
I've flashed EuropeCE firmware via flashtool and Vodafone branding disapeared from my phone, along with a bunch of bloatware.
Hello. My xperia m2 says that there are no updates and the phone is up to date but it's with android 4.4.2. Theres 1 secound delay in the sound when I play games or use downloaded apps like youtube also the audio doesn't sound very good. To fix that I need to update the android version but I cant. I connected the phone to my computer and updated it with sony PC companion but the version is still 4.4.2. What should I do? I don't want to use flashtools or anything. I think it's the phone's fault for that and I should give it back to the place where I bought it so they can fix that. The phone is brand new and they already changed my camera because it wasn't working. So what should I do?
I suppose it has to do with the Country of your phone and/or if it is branded. IF after using PC Companion it's still with 4.4.2 I'm afraid your best (and only) option is to use Flashtool. Not sure how it works if it is branded though, you may need to to something to be able to de-brand it.
Well, actually try first to check if 4.4.4 is available in this way:
- Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*)
- Check the number in Service Info/SW Info/Customization version. You just need the xxxx-yyyy part
- Downdload and install Flashtool (it's small. You just need it for checking)
- Run Flashtool
- Go to Devices/Check Updates
- Select your phone double clicking on the id xxxx-yyyy you have got before.
- If the version is 18.3.C (like the one for 3 UK) there is no 4.4.4. the latest ROM is 4.4.2. It must be 18.3.1.C for 4.4.4
My is branded from T-mobile, and i flashed CE ftf to debrande, everything is good except i don't have extra apps that T-mobile puts in. As i know your safe flashing ftf cos it's official Sony's software, just using Flashtool instead of PC Companion and you won't lose warranty, as long as you don't unlock bootloader.
Good Luck.

Do I install the flashtool on my computer or on my phone?

Obviously on the computer. It's needed to flash the phones from it. Just google it, you find it immediately. Then if you decide to flash a generic 4.4.4 FTF just search around. There are dozens of guides in the Internet.
Alright thanks for your support guys
Hello, I have recently bought a refurbished D6603 which is in great working order, but it does not update from android 4.4.4, which is really outdated and boring, I found out the bootloader is unlocked, I wanted to relock it using flashtool but Emma (flashtool) says "The identification process failed".
I have tried multiple cables and computers to no avail. How do I update the phone to marshmallow or nougat? Xperia Companion says I already have the latest version, and trying to repair the software it results in an error. Very weird
Why is it not identified?
Why can't I update?
Why does Xperia Companion error when I try to repair software?
Why does Xperia Companion say I have the latest version?
Im wondering if anyone has tried to use Xperia Companion (XC) to install firmware other than the latest available. XC uses firmware files located in the ...UpdateEngine\localstorage\US\ folder, so i thought i could swap them with files downloaded from Xperifirm. I even renamed Android12 binary files with Android11 filenames, but appears XC is too smart for me. Trying to Repair offline doesn't work either.
I ask because im now on Android12 and would like to go back to Android11, but im having no luck. Flashtool comes up with errors, Newflasher gives me the "Your device is corrupted" warning.
I'll get there eventually, i hope.
From what I understand you'd have to do a clean install and also unlock bootloader once you go up an Android level you can go back sorry I can't help you
