Just flash D6603 firmware via flashtool, but you will lose NFC function. Also the internal storage won't get any changes.

If I loose nfc only it's ok, I don't use it much, can I come back to the original firmware and re-enable again nfc?If I flash d6603 official firmware can I have official ota?
Thanks for your fast answer .

You can revert to original firmware and NFC will usable again.
For firmware you can use Google Find='XperiFirm' and download it.

Thank you very much for your support, reading your answer I think ota will be disabled and the only way to update is manualy with flashtool and xperifirm, it's not as comfortable as ota but it's ok.
Last question, every custom firmware I see on xda that work with d6603 will automatically always work with sol26?

Download app 'Advance Sygnal Status'

It's a temporary solution

Flash a 6.0 FTF from a region with the OTA update, then you will receive the 7.0 OTA update.

You should not have, and you can always flash back if you have issues.

All XZ's have the same stack of worldwide antennas, so customizations differs only in numbers of themes and potential bloatware. Just go ahead and use any of European ones, if you are not sure

Thanks for answer!

Will the US variant of XZ Premium have fingerprint sensor hardware?

I understand that the US variant will not have fingerprint sensor, but does it have the underlying hardware that we can activate via flashing official UK tools/Rom? It was possible with the XZ, so just wondering. Thank you.

Yes, just flash non-us fw and it works again.

Note that Chinese Mainland (CN) FW doesn't have Google Framework, you may try HK or TW version.
The flash tool for XZP is still on developing, keep an eye on https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

Ok, that makes sense, but she won't be able to access google from mainland China without using VPN access. I'll use the HK version instead, since when comes here next year from Shanghai she'll be able to access google. Will the US firmware have the Chinese language on it, thats what I am really worried about.

Help please

Can you please help me or share a link to where it explains how to flash the proper firmware? I have an xz premium, and I understand your saying the xz flashable firmware will work? It would be nice if I could get the fingerprint sensor working tho. Thanks for your help.

All you have to do is download fw via flashtool, download this, drop the files inside the zip into the fw folder, connect your phone in flashmode and start newflash.exe, it will then flash.

I think that the hardware is there. It's just disabled for patent issues in the US.

Xperia XA custom ROM?

Is someone working on a custom ROM for XperiaXA /Xperia XA Ultra?

I started to work on Lineage14 but it will be a hard task to have something good for a daily use so don't count on it soon I have to build device and vendor trees from scratch first. Without them we can't build real custom roms.
We can ask to @xswxm if he will make a Nougat Slimrom?

Well maybe there are some talented people on this forum what can help you. Is hard to do this on your own at least with building the device and vendor trees.. So we can make custom ROMs for this device. Would be cool if we can have a LineageOS, Resurrection Remix or Paranoid Android Maybe @xswxm can help with something if he can. Also a Nougat Slimrom will be a good thing to have for our device.
Good look building the device and vendor trees.

Also want the ROM, but only MIUI

LOS 14 would be good, but an Android 8 build would be much better when the source code is released as we won't be able to get it officially

If Sony is not able to make Volte working for Indian networks on our devices it's probably for a good reason, what is the official answer from Sony about this?
I will probably not be able to help for a simple thing, we don't have VoLTE in France so I never used it and I don't know how it works (internally)

It is working in u. K.
Global froum always answers that xa supports volte
But our local support says its hardware does not supports volte
The good reason of sony is that it is advertising xa1 ultra and and xa1 as a volte capable mobile phone
Cause in india volte is a very important feature now a days
Each mobile has it
It is become inseparable part of mobiles in india
That's why many companies have released volte update in there 2 year mobile phones
Please read this support forums some starting and some ending pages so that you can understand what is the situation and how important volte is in india
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XA-XA-Ultra/VOLTE/td-p/1150343
Without volte
We have to always use an app for calling with mobile data on
24 hours mobile data on and an app which always runs in background
Too much battery drain..
That's why we need volte

OK I understand. At page 11, post 105 of the Sony Support forum from the link above, you can see that the phone is not ready for Volte on this Network and the information comes from Jio. I searched myself and found this: https://gadgetstouse.com/featured/jio-4g-lte-volte-supported-devices/57636
We can see the same thing, ready for 4G but not for Volte on Jio. It can be interesting to search a device with the same modem chip who works on Jio and have VoLTE to confirm if the problem is software or hardware. We must agree that XA and Ultra are Volte ready, it works on UK network. Maybe Jio use a different technical way to provide Volte As you probably know I'm trying to build Lineage14 (and AOSP later) and Volte files are not coming from Sony so we will know if the problem can be solved or not.

Thanks for reading that post
Yu yunicorn also has helio p10 and that was lauched before the xperia xa
It was come without volte
But after jio 4g launched its company provided it volte update
And many others helio p10 mobiles now supporting. Volte feature
If you want to know how volte works there is a page on xda i am providing it below that how. A mobile can be support volte when company does not supported it
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ria-z3-t3438505?_e_pi_=7,PAGE_ID10,2876782005
By that link you can understand that it may be not so hard task for you to do for stock rom
It is only about add modem and add volte setting in mobile networks
I think it is easy for you rather than making a complete lineage build
And it is not a order
It is a request from all indian xa users

Did you tried Malaysian fimrmware for xperia xa F3116
May be it have volte
As its website shows xa has volte
I checkd the official page of xperia support website
There were some instructions about how to enable volte in xperia xa dual
this is the link
http://support.sonymobile.com/in/xperiaxadual/
Also the official website shows that xperia xa dual sim has software version like this
Xperia™ XA Dual SIM: 33.3.A.0.131
But in india the version is Xperia™ XA Dual SIM: 33.3.A.0.127
The update not come yet in india
But it has come in Malaysia
You can try Malaysian generic version to chek volte
Xperia firm has malaysian generic version for our F3116 and as it is generic it will work as normal as our software works

I'm using 33.3.A.0.131 version which is an updated version of 33.3.A.0.127 but still they didn't release VoLte in this version 33.3.A.0.131 so sad
To enable VoLTE
Make sure your specific Xperia™ device model and network subscription support VoLTE.
Find and tap Settings > More > Mobile networks > Preferred network type > LTE or 4G (preferred)/3G/GSM.
Drag the slider beside Enable VoLTE to the left.
AS per the web site i did't see any slider to Enable VoLTE

Hi, I'm working on it very slowly. It's at the very bottom of my "to do" list. When I see the poor success of my root for Nougat it doesn't give me motivation to spend my free time on it. I don't give up and I'm not stuck on it but don't count on it soon.
