I brought a Sony xperia z today but the model is L36H which is suppose to be 6602 it's the China version.
My problem is that I can't get the US google play store and no GPS icon on here.
I tried downloading the google play US version but it never opens it just shuts off.
Anyone know how I can delete the china version of google play and install the US one?
If it comes down to it i guess I will have to look into getting it rooted.

I think that you will have to root. You can't delete for example the playstore apk to replace it for another one without root.
For GPS try...
Settings, accounts, Google, location services, switch on.
I could not get my GPS working no matter what I tried. Only this way worked. Good luck.

Thanks I'll look into that but at this point I guess the phone will need to be rooted which I didn't want to do.

Like gm007 said flash another stock ROM/firmware. Use flashtool, no need rooting or unlocking bootloader.

I think that's the older version so you might have problems with that. Just use the one I posted.
Since I have the L36h(6602) can I flash it with 6603?

I have tried installing it several times, both on European JB and now on UK JB, and on running it always gives 'An error occurred' which quits the app when pressing 'ok'.
Anyone managed to get this app to work on their Xperia T?

yes, the uk fw is uploading in 2 parts
one upload encountered some issue and never completed though file was present online. Didnt want to take a risk if its incomplete..so reuploading from scratch.
Just installed it on the rooted Europe fw, same error on UK too, maybe not quite ready and small patch due.

have seen you are on .434 anyway, are you on a country firmware (Non Global)

You are on a GLOBAL version then, your firmware isnt limited to your country even though we are hundreds or thousands of miles apart mine it the same as yours. so you dont really need to change your firmware to receive more

Hello,
I want to go back to how the phone was out of the box. I now have installed UK branded .423 4.1.2 JB rom. I cant find the 4.2.2 update on either Pc companion or my phone. So what i am wondering about is : How can i now for sure which version is the "right" one for me? I live in norway,but i havent found any STOCK roms who says Norway or my carrier Telenor.
Could on of you please link to the right version that i need? TFT.
And do i have to do a full wipe from the rom i know have installed when i am installing the new one?
cause then i dont bother setting up my phone until i have fixed.
Much appriated, thank you ,

I think the .423 firmware you're talking abut is 4.2.2..just check it out once again....and nope,u needn't wipe any data...and all firmwares work with most of the carriers unless ur phone is carrier locked,if u want to flash any FTF's,make sure it is for ur device (C6603,etc) to avoid any issues..anyways have fun!
Hit thanks if I helped you.Sent from my Killer Xperia Z(C6602) using xda premium.
Well there is many firmwares to choose between. I Wat the stock for Norway/Telenor. Since this rom i have now havent even got the 4.2.2. Anybody

Thanks
dude, take a look at this thread. You can find latest firmware number of Norway/Telenor in the list. But no idea where to download the real ftf. Good luck.

Does flashing firmwares void warranty? Also does it have any effect on lets say the emic or flash storage on the phone? And lastly, isn't that 14.1.G.534 a prototype/journalist firmware?

Yes I don't understand why your having trouble I never did a full wipe i kept my data. so I can't say doing a full wipe would help. But if I were you go to settings,apps and press force close on the android system as that is what controls the hotspot. It might work idk
