I reently became a happy owner of black XZP and i love it but there is one thing that irritates me, it came with Orange branded software. My question is, can i flash original unbranded software (when flashtool will provide this option) without loosing IMEI,DRM keys, bravia engine and such ? And where can i find this kind of software ?
Also i heard from SONY centre Poland, that even if i do this myself somehow, it will return to the branded software with next software update as the software is tied to phones IMEI...
Would be gratefull for some extended explanation on this. Thanks.
Probably not since it probably locked to the Orange. You will need to get the network unlock code first before flashing a generic firmware.
Well I know that the XZ Premiums in Australia aren't locked, my friend got one from Telstra and then uses an Optus SIM in it.
Flashing generic FW won't cause you to lose DRM keys, etc, since only unlocking the bootloader will cause that stuff to be affected.
Also, even if the phone is network locked, I don't see why generic FW would affect that - That should only impact what carrier SIM you can use on the phone.
I used newflasher to flash customized UK version on my Vodafone branded version a couple of days ago, and received update for customized UK version this morning, updated ok, no probs.

I flashed mine two days ago on Windows 10 v1607.
I used the "old" version linked in the other thread. It is right that virus total show that there is some malware but only 2 of 64 AV product say that, I think that is a false positive.
First download your firmware with XperiFirm, pay attention on device version (single or dual sim)
Download Sony companion app and try to make a software repair (until it ask you to shutdown the phone and connect it with volume down button pressed), it will download and install Sony official flash driver (needed for flash the firmware with newflasher).
After that abort Sony software repair and download newflasher.
Go to the firmware folder extract partition.zip (this will allow new flasher to flash partition layout)
Also move away from the folder sim-lock.ta for security purpose (new flasher should have a check but bug can exist)
Copy newflasher.exe to the firmware folder
Shutdown the phone, press volume down button and plug-in the usb cable (Same instruction of Sony companion app), you should see windows driver configuration.
Wait driver configuration to finish and then run newflasher.exe as administrator
Wait until it finish (some system files flash can take minutes to flash don't worry) and check if there are errors in log.
Had problems with yellow triangle in driver but after using companion software per your instruction drivers got installed and everything went ok, flashed central eu version 1 and I'm happy now Many thanks!

Hello forum, sorry if the question i am going to ask is a bit noob. I have a mate 9 (MHA-L29C605B111 CUSTC605D111). The thing is i am getting annoyed by the notifications in numners not the icon. The thing is via FF i only find the MHA-L29BC605B111 CUSTC605D162. That cust is the same as a friend of mine which has the icons. My questions are:
1) Is there a command to enable the icons?
2) Is there any risk via FF to change from C605 to BC605 as is only OTA-MF?
3) Is this the correct way to change the CUSTID?
Thank you for every help you may give me as i am new in the huawei world!!:good::good:

1. No. Huawei uses numbers in old ROMs. But in new ROMs you can select numbers or icons.
2. You can not change ROM via OTA-MF in this case. This type of ROM contains difference between previous version and current only. If you will flash it over other ROM (non-native) - ROM will not be flashed. I don't know what difference between cust D111 and D165.
Symbol 'B' in MHA-L29BC605 means beta or test.
Maybe, you can flash but ROM version is same B111, so very little chances to flash by OTA type.
If you're not planning to sell phone or not using special functional from your mobile operator, it is better to rebrand on world or china ROM. The most popular are C636 (Asia Pacific), C432 (Europe), C00 (China). But you will lost ability to return on your customization, cause there is no full version of your current ROM.

Many thanks. I am a little afraid of rebranding at the moment. I do not understand de process correctly and I do not want to mess up my phone. I do not understand what is important about my operator, as this phone is not from an operator or the man who sell it to me said that, as i live in argentina this phone is not available here and i do not know from which country is from. Is there a posibility that i get otas or i will be stuck in this?

Where is your phone from? How you bought it?
Unfortunately, phones with extra customization are not updated often. I reviewed many stock ROMs, and ROMs with cust are hosted without FullOTA type even! So it is very hard to restore original state back.
Imho, if anyone wants buy Mate 9 and don't want problems with ROM or flashing process, he/she must buy phone with popular region.
I don't wander what Huawei included in addition to region when named cust. Maybe, it is special settings for domestic mobile operators, maybe some bloatware, maybe something else.
About existing OTAs.
Need to download them all and check what is inside. Changelogs are different, so it is chance that files are incremental. But I will travel for 2 weeks and without ability to get internet. Sorry.
I bought my phone to a guy who import them here in argentina. But i do not have any carrier branding in the ROM and i put my chip and it is not branded. Does my carrier affect in the time of the updates or no? As is not branded. I just reading reddit that the chip you put in the phone affects otas as mine c605 is destinated to colombia and mine is from argentina. Is really true that? In addition that since i bought the phone (1st May 2017) never received an OTA and still on october 2016 security patch.

Thanks for clarification. I was wondering why they changed C to BC for some firmwares.

Well man. Thnxs for all your info. I got the guts to rebrand this thing. Everything went OK in the first try. The only weird thing that make me crap my pants was that after the rebranding process (When i has finished intalling in the EMUI recovery) the phone start rebooting as crazy :crying: :crying: . It posted huawei logo, then black screen and start rebooting not allowing to enter either fastboot or ADB, after some time doing that the phone booted OK :victory: . Then flashed again the same model option and it was all a huge success :highfive:. Was the rebooting normal o not? Because in the guide that was translated to spanish that was a bit more accurate did not mention anything neither here. Any way, my phone is OK now i have the icons that was the thing that bothered me a lot and i am happy with that, THANKS TO EVERYONE :highfive::highfive:
I have a G8142 HK version (on Oreo). I am visiting mainland China and I found out there is a 'x' on WIFI signal (I guess it is because of blocking Google). The guy who sold me the phone flashed the oem_x.sin file of the Chinese ROM - in order for me to use VOLTE on China Unicom (I've activated the service with them).
And I fount out:
1. too many Chinese bloatwares e.g. baidu, weibo etc. - gone with flashing HK file, good!
2. the 'x' on the wifi signal is gone - and did not come back after I flashed the HK file (I want it to be there to show there is the Great Firewall, if I go somewhere which has free internet so I can see from the WIFI x)
3.there is still no VOLTE in settings-mobile network - as I go into testing mode (*#*#4636#*#*) the VOLTE provision option is still greyed out. I also found out in HK rom the video calling provisioned option is available but after flashing Chinese file it is greyed out(came back again after I flashed HK version of file).
So I'd like to ask:
1. is it possible to bring back the WIFI 'x' just like before? (Or return to stock)
2. anyone know why there is no VOLTE option?
3. Where do I get the official firmware? - I got the version G8142_HK_47.1.A.3.254 from the phone seller, but I'd like to know where to download them? Tried Xperifirm.exe many times it always stops downloading halfway, and also Xperia companion but the loading bar stucks at the beginning, maybe it has something to do with Chinese internet censorship?
4. while I am in China, before I flash a new firmware I'll have to delete my google account because when the setup menu comes it will ask me to put in my old google account to proceed, I heard it from somewhere, right? If yes I'll just wait for a week maybe flash it after I leave China...
Sorry to write so long. First time using a Sony phone...
1: use flashtool
2: yes through magisk module or use the rom turbo created. (module just adds the options if your phone has it on there, it does not engage volte, only the menu)
3: did you try flashtool?
4: flashed multiple roms on my xzp and not once has it asked me for the old account.
Hi people.
The motherboard of my G930F breaks down and I bought a new one from one seller.
Seller tolds me that my contry language was in the menus (spanish).
I just mount the mainboard and the phone works fine, but maybe the 75% of the menu texts appear in english.
I tryed to translate them with morelocale or some other apk's but the device must be rooted or make it by ADB.
Now, the seller is telling that I can flash a G930F firmware in my G930W8, because is "the same device".
I don't now certanly if this is real or not.
Can you help me? Thx in advance
They both use the same exynos could buy you can't flash 930f firmware to the 930w8 with Odin.
The model number in download mode will always be 930w8.

Yes, since it's the Canadian version, I would imagine the W8 ROM's Spanish language abilities would be limited. Even if there's a Spanish language option in the menus, Samsung wouldn't put the effort into translating the whole OS for something they're only selling in Canada, a country that speaks English and French. What you could do, though, is flash an Exynos custom ROM, which will work with W8 or F, and change your CSC (that stands for country specific phone, it tells Android which language and location to use by default) to Mexico-Unlocked or Spain-Unlocked. There are some Claro CSCs in there too, if you're in one of the many Spanish-speaking countries where they have a monopoly and you need their official apps to recognize your phone as a Claro phone. I'll link the thread, all of the instructions for how to flash the ROM and change it to a Spanish-speaking CSC are in there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-s7-rom-v1-0-t3356197
Just to warn you, if your phone has the Oreo update, this might not work, because even if you flash the Nougat recovery and bootloader, there's no guarantee that TWRP would be able to format /data and mount /system in the Oreo ROM to actually flash the Nougat ROM. If it fails, no worries, a program called "Samsung Smart Switch" can get you back on the working stock ROM with the press of a button. Even if it does work, though, you'll be downgrading to the 1.5-year-old Nougat, which you might not want. The SuperMan ROM developer says Oreo is coming soon though, he wasn't able to do it yet because he was in the hospital with a medical emergency until about a month after Samsung released the official F/FD/W8 Oreo Touchwiz ROM, so it's just a matter of patience. Your comment sounds like you can speak fairly good English, so hopefully you can make calls, text, and bookmark the Spanish versions of your favorite websites until a stock-based Oreo ROM comes out. I don't think it will take any longer than another month.
Hi , my XZP came with an unlocked bootloader, and the firmware is the one for my country, but is a lot bloated, and also I don't like the boot animation, and shut down one .
My question here is this , my firmware supports VoLTE , if I flash another firmware will i lose that option?? If yes, then what archive do I need to avoid in order to flash my device without losing the VoLTE option.
Thanks .
Anybody??
Also if I have my bootloader unlocked, how do i root the phone on Android pie ?? My firmware is
47.2.A.10.107
Well i flashed a german customized firmware,and excluded modem.sin from the flash, everything went smooth and i have the VoLTE settings.
I think that i need to call to my operator in order to have VoLTE calls because when i make one, it shows me HSDPA.
Also when i excluded the modem from the flashing, i was expecting yo have the same modem, but no, just look at the screenshots.
And finally can please anyone point me in the right direction in how to flash this device with this firmware : G8141_Customized DE_1308-5289_47.2.A.10.107_R6C
Thanks.
