[Q] Which Firmware is suitable for my device? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi XDA
Last few days i bricked my Xperia T and because it is necessary to rescue my device from Limbo i downloaded the following firmware:
Build Number 7.0.A.1.303 CH
Now i want to download a suitable firmware for my device but i don't know which kind of firmware is suitable, for example there are some firmware called Branded and Non-Branded or some of them called Europe, Poland, etc.
Please help me to find out what are these? and which of them suitable? for my device.
I am from Iran, Asia - I mentioned maybe it's useful to make right choice.
Apologize for if any written English fails.
Thank you very much.

Any idea what version number you were running before the brick?..I'm in Canada and I'm running 9.1.A.1.140. The Branded firmware just means the Service Provider it's branded too. Mine is branded to Rogers. Comes with the Rogers Bloatware apps etc. Who did you purchase your cell from?
You can also create your own ftf file with SEUS and just flash that. There's a link in the "All in One thread".

[Q] Is my SGS rooted?

I bought SGS that was unlocked from orange (UK) then sold in another country (mine)...
1. Does unlocking procedure include rooting?
2. Is this prohibits me from getting official update through Kies?
A simple yes/no will do, although if u answer no plz help me out and explain
(had a hd2 before this one, did some rom flashing.., never did unlocking though)
Unlocked and rooted are two different things and neither should affect kies offering an update.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
hopr this helps!!

1.No..(flash via odin to some unlocked firmware)
2.It depends..(ie) if for the previous problem, you flash a firmware not from your region then no your kies wont be able to give you an official update.. so download a region specific firmware( for ex dd means india, dx means singapore. find ur region code). Instead of this i'd suggest you to go to samfirmware.com and get the best rom.
thank you for replies
i found out my firmware is I9000XWJV1 which could also be found in official sources, so i supose it should be available for me to use official updates...
still is there a way for me to know if the phone is with stock/retail firmware or its rooted with a rom thats just almost as stock?
sry if i may sound silly at any point, im new to samsung rooting and stuff
kies says:
"This version of your device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version DA:JV1 / PHONE:JVE?CSC:J
Can you tell me if it means i wont get updates ever, or just couse now its not available?
Nevermind, i found uot myself.. google almighty =)

Xperia Z branded

I have a problem.. I bought my xperia z unlocked and "unbranded". Full price and stuff.
But my xperia isn't unbranded at all. It's branded by vodafone Germany, the phone it's unlocked. But i have stupid preinstalled apps from vodafone and i can't get rid of the.. Not to mention i will get my updates via vodafone Germany (ps, i don't live not even near Germany).
And i didn't buy my phone from vodafone!!
Can I use this tutorial? http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/
And this world_xxxxx rom (now i have vodafone1_xxxxx) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209637
If i do this, i will still have my warranty?
Thanks.
Root you XZ, install some king of app manager (Ex: titanium backup) and remove that apps. I did the same here (Portuguese TMN apps)
Yeah.. but still. My phone will have "vodafone" rom. And that's my main problem and frustration.

Grab any ftf file from any country you want and use Flashtool to flash the ftf file, no need for rooting or unlocking BL.
I gived back that one. And i bought a new xperia.
The problem with this one is like : the phone have the file system version Global-lte_10.1.a.350.
And does not find any update to Global-lte_10.1.a.434.
I tried another pc.. OTA/Cable.. Does not work. the phone it's made in week 11 (so between March 11, 2013 and March 17, 2013).
And Sony released the 434 update around 20 march i think. It's possible this phone have the bug fix already in it?

No need for OTA when you can download any ftf and flash it using flashtool anyway.
I understand that but i'm just wondering why this phone does not want to "see" the update.

Updates gets released at different times in different regions. Some will get updates straight away some will not depending on where you are.

I live in Romania. Thanks for the info. +1 tanks.

First, what model do you have? 6603 or 6602? Do you have root? Did you unlock your bootloader? I am in mexico and I received my update for the 6602 one week ago
You can download any FTF and flash it via flashtools, if you want stock, if you are in custom rom with UB you will always be able to update manually and never lose root

[Q] I just want to debrand my O2UK Z3C

Hi,
Really couple of quick questions... I have read the tutorials on flashing stock firmwares, I have got all the software downloaded (Xperifirm and Flashtool). I just want to debrand my phone (i.e. no O2 apps and no O2 boot screen).
I have picked out the Customized UK Unbranded firmware 23.0..1.A.5.77.
My current firmware is O2 Pay monthly UK 23.0.1.A.5.77
Does anyone see any forseeable issues with what I am about to do? First time flasher of Xperia phones - I have been a Samsung shill for far too long!
Kind Regards,
Neil

Hi,
I've also got the phone on O2 pay monthly and considering flashing the generic UK firmware. Did you use the links on the firmware thread to obtain the UK one? The links seemed to not work when I tried to download.
Have you read about creating your own flashtool file (ftf) for the current firmware? I would advise you to do so before getting rid of the O2 firmware as a backup ftf. You can repair the phone using the Sony PC companion and that would download the necessary files to create the ftf.
I have used couple of Xperias before and have always used flashtool to flash different firmware many times. The consensus regarding warranty and flashing seems that you do not loose the warranty in doing so and I have hoped it is so in flashing the other Xperias.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this was not a successful attempt. I got the firmware using the app Xperifirm and decrypted it and created the flashing files in Flashtool as per instructions in another thread. I could not get the drivers to work correctly for Flashtool to function correctly however. Once I got to the flashing stage and Flashtool asked me to power down the device, I would then hold down the Vol - button whilst putting in the micro USB cable and it would fail instantly, first saying the driver was not installed and then after a lot of fiddling that the loader.sin would not install and again fail straight away. After a couple of hours of messing around I gave up.

Customized UK Unbranded firmware 23.0..1.A.5.77
Am I right in thinking that you downloaded this firmware when you posted about it back in 2015? If you did and you still have it would you be able to send me a copy? It seems to be unobtainable now from the internet.
Kind regards
Simon

Updating is easy and if Sony PC Companion is malfunctioning, you could use Flashtool ( get it here )
After that you can download the latest firmware ( ftf format ) here
There are some guides on how to flash the latest firmware, and don't worry flashing won't void your warranty or root your device.
This is the best and the most informative click me
Good luck
Hi
If I do that, will ota updates work in future?
Don't have time to fiddle around too much now and again every time there's an update,
Any ideas how to get it to pick up the ota update, which I'm sure has already been released for its region?
There's a thread around here with a tool to download the official full firmware files per region and flash them to your phone.
As long as you use a region that's compatible (with radios and all) the effect should be a perfectly fresh installed stock phone that will pick up OTA's just like any other official firmware.
sony flashtool or something? I can't remember.
Hi,
The firmware thats on the phone is global region,
23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - GLOBAL (1286-9917) #1
But i dont see lollipop updates for it.
Which region firmware should i use to flash?? Which would work 100%
Pls help with some advise asap which will work
