Ok, so pretty everyone here has heard of the supposedly upcoming jellybean update as well as an incoming bootloader unlock for euro open O4Xs. I bought this phone unlocked from amazon. Bottom line- it has a Taiwan branded stock rom on it. Does anyone think there'll possibly be a chance I will have my bootloader unlocked too or should I just not get my hopes up?
Anyone?

you'll just have to flash the EU-open firmware before unlocking the bootloader. that's it.

Hello.
I bought my phone from amazon too, and i just flashed the newest firmware via kdz because the update wasn't available via OTA. My phone is also branded TW but it is just working great. You won't have problems.

Hello, I have flashed my branded US T-Mobile HD 7 to the TELSTRA NoDo one and now I would like to go back to the pre-Nodo stock rom. Are there any stock roms out there or is there an official way to do this? I would like to do in order to try to receive the official NoDo update from T-Mobile.
Thank you
i did the same so download this RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.51.09.29a_22.32.50.10U_by_ansar
just search for that file name and your phone will nodo update after you flash it
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! Flashing that ROM worked perfectly. I am now able to install the official Tmo NoDo.

if you want your phone unlocked you should unlock it before you update to nodo i dont htink you cna unlock after the update but if you do it fefore you update it it will stay unlocked after nodo
What do you mean by unlocked?
Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by unlocked? Unlocked to use on a different carrier or to side-load apps?

sideloading apps, if you unlock it for carrier it will stay unlocked eather way.
Hey guys,
I have one or two questions I cant seem to find a definitive answer for.
I currently have a Z1 locked to my local O2 network. They still haven't release any updates past 4.2.2.
I was wondering would it be possible to flash a Sony Stock Factory Image so that future OTA updates would come from Sony and not through my carrier?
I was looking at this ROM here. So Root the phone, flash the ROM and then remove root.
Some might say why not root, unlock etc. but the to be honest I have done my fair share of trying different ROM's on different phones, throughout the years and I just love how stable the phone is and how good the battery life is that I just don't want to mess around with it too much.

You already messing around. That link which you posted is a method to root your phone and if you do not want to root it then is not the right thread. To update your phone to latest FW you have to flash the Unbranded Firmware .136 for your model from HERE
Use flashtool v0.9.13 to do that, wipe everything and you are done. This is for Locked Bootloader and you will also get next Updates when they comes.

Its as simple as that? I might give it a shot this evening so when I get home.

Yes, it's simple because you just want the latest Firmware only, No Root, No Unlocked Bootlader.
One last question, if I flash the latest UK version which is .290 will I receive OTA or PC Companion updates as soon as .136 is out for the UK version?

Hi guys, i just flashed the original firmware on my xperia T because im hoping the update will come by next week. I have also relocked my bootloader. However i was wondering if there was a way to receive the update even if my bootloader was unlocked and on a custom rom..?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If you have the original firmware AND the bootloader locked, you will get the update directly from Sony.
If you have a custom rom OR just the bootloader unlocked, you will be able to update only with the Flashtool and a FTF file.
okay thank you very much mate

Correction: you can still receive an OTA update if you're on stock firmware and your phone's bootloader is unlocked, but installing the OTA update will in most cases brick your device (again, that's if the bootloader is unlocked).

Thanks for the explanation but in the second sentence I wrote "able to update" and not "able to receive the update from Sony".
There's a slight difference of meaning, so my statement was right.
And yours is a clarification, not a correction
Also when your phone is branded, you have to wait a bit longer until your provider will provide you with their 4.3 version? Does anybody knows how I can see whether my phone is branded? If I look in the Service Info settings it says :1262-6309_9.1.a.1.141 Generic User at Phone Software Version and GLOBAL-HSPA_9.1.a.1.141 at File System version. At Customization Version: 1266-0471_R71.
Anybody?
Hey!
I can't seem to get the OTA updates. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, do you think that has to do with it? I've read several people that say they've gotten such updates, but I've been using the phone for two weeks now and I haven't received not even one.
EDIT: Already tried unroot and flashing the original recovery. None worked.

Yep, that's my model number. I wonder if it's because it's the global model?

Just speculating. But apparently one needs to unroot and re-flash the stock recovery menu in order to get OTA updates.

I recently made an insurance claim for my phone and had to send my unlocked firmware note 8 back. Problem I'm having now is, I cant get the new one on an unlocked firmware. I keep getting errors in all the Odins I have. I dont know much about the v4 bootloader or when it was locked. I was able to gi back to Nougat on my old phone and then upgrade back oreo. That was in August though. Any help would be appreciated. I cant stand this ATT ****!

You can only flash the same bootloader v4 firmwares or higher from now on. No downgrading possible to bootloader v3 or below!
Can't even go back to Nougat (that was on bootloader v3 and below)!
If you are just need the unbranded firmwares look for the ones with the bootloader v4.
Eg N950U(U1)SQS"4"CRH1. The 4 in "" is your bootloader version.
If you want to root or go back to nougat then you'll need to talk to ATT for another phone that's on bootloader v3 or below.

Could you possibly link me the the firmware I do need? I would really appreciate as I'm stuck on this current firmware. I've looked and looked. I'm just unable to find the right firmware. I suppose it's possible I'm not getting the right one. Idk.

The easiest is to use SamFirm to download the firmware. Then use modified ODIN 3.13.1 to flash it.
