Issues with flashing g8xx rom to SOV35 - Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers

I've been trying to flash the Au XZs with a more global friendly firmware but every time I try I get an error one that indicates something isn't matching. So my question is can I force the flashing of the firmware via the tool or is the SOV35 stuck with the AU rom? thanks

My Z3 doesn't finds update

After flashing phone witch generic no branded firmwere 4.4.4 phone doesn't finds update. What do I need to do?
Try to download the original firmware for your phone using the Xperia Firmware Downloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/
Just select your phone model number and the brand, then click in the right side the firmware version.
Later use flashtools to pack the firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/noobs-guide-create-stock-firmware-ftf-t2188129
(Go to step 3)
And flash the new ftf file with flashtool too.
Sometimes the best way is to download the firmwares manually from the forum and flash it, because some brands don't give the latest firmware to our phones (like mine). With this way, you will have the latest firmware, rooted and with dual recovery just flashing the zip file, but first you have to prepare your phone:
Use this guide to flash the latest rootable firmware, root that firmware and install the recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
then go to development section and download the latest firmware for your phone. Download a preroorted with recovery version to allow the manually updates later:

Even you can use some custom Roms like Existenz.

Does a new ROM have to match your region

I am trying to find a Nougat ROM for my e6653.
I have tried making a FTF for flashing through Flashtool, this has not been successful (error - NULL when making the FTF from the downloaded SIN files).
I have found the AU region FTF files. If I flash these to my phone will it work. I am in the UK.
Alternatively does anyone understand why I may not have been able to make the FTF file for the UK with Xperifirm/Flashtool.
Thanks for your time.
No, you can use whatever region in whatever country, only if you are usa you have to use usa firmware because of network support.

XZ bootloop after Oreo update, Xperia Companion's repair don't work

Hi,
My dad recentely upgrade his XZ, but it didn't work and the phone is in bootloop. So I try ti use Xperia Companion to repair it but pass 10% there is a error message and it can't go further...
So my question is can i make a factory reset using a Stock firmware with Flashtool without loosing the TA partition ? (the phone is full stock so the bootloader is lock and my dad want to keep is waranty) (I try some researches but i didnt found any answers about flashing a stock rom with flashtool, all i found is how to flash a custom rom)
Thx,
Valentin
Flashing a FTF will do nothing to the TA partition. You are safe to proceed
