[Q] Ativ S downgrade - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am going to buy a new Ativ S to replace my Omnia W. I read that Ativ S with GDR3 cant be iterop-unlocked. Is possible to downgrade to GDR2, unlock and then upgrade to GDR3?

You can downgrade, it is simply that you find an old ROM (GDR2, for example).
BUT, you can get GDR3 and keeping Interop-Unlock.

Where can I find a GDR2 rom?

The only radio you can downgrade to is 3805.04.04.12. You must be S-Off to downgrade.
So there is no way I can go back to a 2.2.1 rom ( official )
Did you tipe that right seems like an upgrade not a downgrade
Thanks for you're quick reply though

No you can't go back to the 2.2.1 rom why do you want to do that anyway?

Yes it was a mistype. Should have been 3805.04.03.12 which is the only other GB radio you can downgrade too.
What's a hxc dongle?

Back in the days when Nokia N95 8gb was top, I used x-sim to unlock my device/s. Now we have a law that forbids the companys to lock their devices.
Count this post as a bump ;]
Thanks for your comments!

Please doar not spamming the forum with this "up" posts. If somebody know how to unlock be sure he will respond.

Is the Hi version branded? Like adjusted bootscreen and bloatware and stuff? Or is it just a 'vanilla'? I'd be happy to know

The z5 forum would have more on it. You need a international ftf finger print files and customize the US one by adding those files than flashing it to your device

It can be done. You can do it yourself follow how they did it in the z5 forums or just flash the international ftf on your phone

Where do I get the FTFs? At this point, what is the disadvantage of getting the International one?
None really that I can think of. The US one might have better radios maybe for signal

Well you can ask someone for the ftfs and then use flash tool. Ask the user who made a kernel for the xp if he has the international ftf

Hmm... So lets say I go with the X (not P), looking here: https://xpericheck.com/device/F5122 will these work on the F5121? Also, which country is the most similar to US but gets fingerprint? Is there really any difference aside from language? If I go this path, how do I get the OTAs?

Probably the UK one.. Maybe br stands for Britain? You can try any of them if they aren't good to back to us one. I'm curious what customized us one is. If it's been customized for finger print enable. But these are all released a month ago? Before the device was out?

This is exactly why I'm asking.... i'm confused. and then how do updates work?
Regional firmwares are available prior to release. Can't use a device without software. If you flash a firmware from another region, you will receive updates that align with that region. Sometimes they are OTA and sometimes they require either PC Companion or Xperia Companion. UK is the abbreviation for Great Britain for firmware region. The customized US firmware will not support fingerprint sensor.
