Did you use anything else other than XperiFirm_v5.5.0 and XperiFirm_v5.5.0?
I've been out of the phone flashing / rooting game for years so I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
What's the difference in the 2? I'm on Vodafone and the only crapware I can see is the Vodafone app which I actually use

Hey all,
I have an India model Sensation and I haven't received the OTA update as of yet. I called HTC and they advised that the update is not available in that region yet.
I've tried to use the Tmobile version but it doesn't work.
If any one has the European update file I'd be very grateful if they can post it somewhere I can download it.
No OTA update for myself either
Hi,
I have an unlocked/sim free retail box of the HTC Sensation which was given to my by HTC (long story). I live in Ireland and I have not received the OTA update yet either. My friend is on Vodafone IE and has got the software update, I assumed I would have had it pushed to my handset first but this has not been the case. I have tried keying in ' *#*#checkin#*#* ' to get any missed updates but nothing available yet. Does anyone else have this problem with an unlocked handset?
If possible as above I'd like the updatepackage.zip .
Lastly I'm on O2 IRL who don't carry the Sensation but I don't think that would matter as my handset is not branded to their network, any ideas on any other trouble shooting I could do?
Hi does anyone know where i can find an original optus 3g rom. I need to return the device to optus for warranty, but i cant find an original optus rom anywhere.
I got the device brand new a week ago, it came stock standard as 3.2.
Ive currently only found a telstra rom,the device works fine, but the rom places a telstra app and changes some settings on setup i.e homepage in bookmarks, so would be no use.
Basicaly i need a way to bring my device to stock standard so they wont know.
Thanks for your help
Can anyone confirm that its not possible to flash a foreign firmware unless the phone is network unlocked ?
But could it be possible to flash an efs image from an unlocked phone before flashing a different firmware ?

The main concern would be that the firmware is for an identical device, because they often differ physically. Single SIM vs dual, Snapdragon vs Exynos, etc. I don't know why carrier lock would have anything to do with it.
I don't know if this is relevant or not, but on my USA T-Mobile Galaxy S4 I use Omega ROM, which changes my device from sgh-m919 to sgh-i9505 (international model). The side-effect is that it sometimes thinks I'm in the UK, even though I have my location set to where I am. For example, I can't use the Amazon app because it loads amazon.co.uk instead of amazon.com and the keyboard often tries inserting a superfluous (in an American's opinion) "u" to words like flavo(u)r and colo(u)r.
Hi,
My friend has a Verizon HTC One M8, and his phone is limited because he doesn't have a Verizon SIM (we don't live in the USA) -
meaning he can't use LTE (even though the phone's bands match the local bands), can't use mobile hotspot and he also couldn't update his phone until I found a way to update it using a PC. It's giving him lots of trouble.
I want to install CM13 on his phone, but before I flash CM I wanted to know if there's a way to install a different (international and original) HTC ROM on his phone. So he can fully use the phone without a Verizon SIM.
Is there a way to do it? Can anyone give me a link for this kind of ROM (that'll work on this phone and match my requirements)?
thx
Ok, so my question ha a few points here. I have been flashing roms for many years but never really though of this until recently as I now have an unlocked phone.
1. As my Sprint Note 5 is unlocked, can I flash say the Unlocked Version of software to the phone taking away carrier branding? I manage a store from another carrier and I hate that when I boot my phone it shows Sprint. I know it will not trip knox as long as it is Official Stock software.
2. If I do flash said Unlocked version software replacing Sprint software, will it change my connection at all? I have seen that flashing ATT software on a Verizon device did manage to improve ATT tower connection however I wonder if this is maybe a placebo effect as opposed to actually changing the bands and connections the device makes.
If you guys could help me out that would be great. :good:
Cheers
There is no unbranded firmware for the Sprint model because well, it is a exclusive model so even if you flash XAS instead of SPR firmware some or all apps will still appear. The only way to get rid of everything Sprint is via custom ROM= tripped KNOX. The SM-N920P cannot run another firmware.
