A few weeks ago, I posted a question re problems with the Xperia SP (dropping wifi specifically). The only response was "Upgrade your phone to the latest 205 software"
Is there a page/thread that clearly lists how to do it?
I did find one thread, but it had too many pages to "weed" through.
FYI, the model # is C5306, Android version 4.3 and build number 12.1.A.0.266.
Thanks in advance!!

The thread has every answer for your questions...
Hit Thanks if I helped.. !!! :good:

Thanks Sister
Unfortunately when I went to check if the phone was unlockable (the official way), it says Bootloader unlock allowed: No
This sucks!!!
Just to get this clear, seeing that you're using a stock rom. Have you tried sony pc companion recently?
Not recently. I'm willing to give it a try again, but when I've done it before it's never fixed the problem.
Thanks!!
Ran it last night. Same problem is there (dropping WiFi...) and the phone is still unlockable
Time to sell it and buy a Samsung
Eventually an update to 12.1.A.1.205 should appear in PC companion. Unfortunately, you have to wait until your mobile provider releases a certified version for their network. Some providers take a long time.
On the other hand even for locked bootloader there are many custom ROMs available

Hi all,
I've bought a Sony Xperia SP M35h in China and everything works fine but I cannot install Google Play or other Google Apps (Gmail, Maps, Drive, etc). From what I've read I should root my phone, but I have not find any suitable version for my phone.
I have been trying to solve this issue for months now..Any idea?
Many many thanks,:good::good:

thats highly unusual since google play comes installed on the phone, are you sure its a legit model ?
Google: Googleplay apk and find a suitable link, you should have no trouble installing it to be honest as the phone should come preloaded with Google services, plus when you get on it, it will need a Gmail account which can be made via the Googleplay store
Guys, thanks for the help.
The phone is legit but was bought in China and is from China Unicom. Even if it is unblocked and I can put my sim card, all google services crash whenever I try to open them (I can install but they do not run).
I tried to install different .apk. There was one that I was able to open, but I could never login to the Google Pay store.. at it mentioned connection problems.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Many thanks!
Got some photo's of the device for us? It is weird that the device you have is not working since it is (or seems) a legit device.
try sony pcc to make sure your phone is legit then you can easily update or repair your phone .
It works just fine with Sony Pcc. In fact, I have contacted Sony before.. and what they told me is that operating system for Chinese phones is different and that should be the reason why I cannot use Google services.
Should I need to change operating system? Is it possible?

Go to settings > About phone and post a screenshot here. Perhaps we can help you determine which OS you need to install

the kernel date is Tuesday November 19 2013 and the firmware 12.1.A.0.266 release date was Feb.12.2014 so it's not logic . did you tried the repair function with pc companion ?
Well it should work you could try to repair it with Sony Update Service

And what is yours kernel date? Because, mine is also November 19. and I'm on stock 266 ROM without any problems...
Here a legit C5303 build date Nov 19. However that is the date of the kernell build. This doesnt say anything about the real ROM build date.
Hi guys,
I've just tried the Sony Update but problem persists. I believe that it keeps updating the Chinese version of my phone.. M35h which is a different version just built for China (according to guys on Sony).
Is it possible to change operating system?
Many thanks for your help!
Do you live or use it in china? Or somewere else?
No, I live in Chile and I don't thinking about going back to China in a while! thankss

Haha great. Good to know
Did you went to a store or something to ask what kind of Xperia they sell there?
Because you have C5303, C5306 and C5302 < This one has no LTE and the C5306 one is mostly sold in USA..
Edit: If I Google Sony Xperia M35h I get the C5302 on many websites. I will dig a bit futher for you but I recommend you to visit a nearby store to check what version they sell..
---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------
Could you enter in your dialpad on the XSP:
*#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service info and select Model info... What does it say there?
Mine is C5303
ahahaha
Here they sell the Xperia SP (C5302) version. But I guess this one is slightly different from mine, as I was said that M35h was specifically for the Chinese market..

Hi, I have a xperia z T-Moble (c6606) , but i´m living in mexico, its sim unlocked, and i want to upgrade it to 4.4 kitkat, i have tried to upgrade it via OTA and PC Companion, but the upgrade dont appear, i thought upgrading via flashtool but, i dont know what rom can i use, could someone give me a hand with it? thank you
i have found this one, but i dont know if it works for my device and my location

Ask in the thread, or in Q&A, don't clog up the general with these simple question threads. But yes, follow the tutorials (Pro-tip: Use the search function! It's super useful!) for flashtool and flash any ftf from any region, some have different apps pre-installed etc. you can use them from any region. I bought a UK sim-free Xperia Z and I've flashed Taiwanese, German and Belgian ftf's.
No harm in trying, just make backup before. I'm on c6606 but in US and have always flashed UK or EU branded and they worked fine I just had to input my APNs for cell coverage.

Pm me so i can tell you what to do in spanish
I called t mobile US today. They have me the run around of we are testing it. Then the lay just stopped talking after I said most other TMo around the world have released it as had the generic US. The lay wouldn't give me an ETA. Then she didn't want to talk to me when I mentioned they missed several 4.3 versions.
All in all, I wouldn't wait on them. Wait for a pre rooted on here and go for it.

C6006 user here. From experience, there's not much difference between C6606 and C6603 firmware beside the band and customization.
Download the lastest FTF, make sure its for C6603, and flash.
As a precaution, tick "Baseband" when flashing.
I think you should try Canadian Bell?

This is my first Sony phone ever (a love at first sight btw), so I wonder how to update its firmware. I saw in the news that a fresh OTA is available, but Update Center claims that my device is up to date already. The current build number of my Z3C is 23.0.A.2.93 - a pretty old version I think.
If that helps, my phone is a D5803, purchased new from a GSM shop with official Sony guarantee, unlocked by default. Oh and thanks for helping out a fresh Sony user..

If you don't find the OTA, then connect your phone to pc and update via Sony PC Companion.
Sent from my Compact Beast The Third.
the FOTA is still rolling out, if your update center doesn't list it yet then it will in a couple of days [it's based on your provider, not rolled worldwide at the same time]
ok I gave it a few days and I still see no OTA. I also installed the PC Companion app and it shows no updates are available.. which looks pretty much impossible for me based on the list of available firmwares and the fact that I'm on 23.0.A.2.93.
Or well.. is this normal?
it is possible that this firmware won't be released in your area as i've read on the sonymobile site that some firmwares are region specific, where are you located and have you checked your local sonymobile site for most recent software version for your phone to see if it matches the one you have currently?
I bought my new Z3C in an independent shop but with a Sony guarantee so I think it's probably an import one. How could I check which country it was coming from? It could help checking the latest software version for that region then..
You can check it by using XperiFirm
I didn't get an OTA. When I went into settings, about, software update it told me about the update and gave me a LINK on where to go to get the updater for my computer.
The updater worked OK on my mac but it sure wasn't as easy as an OTA.

Same story & build here. I don't bother. Don't like to fix what isn't broken. I'm only interested in the future upgrade to lollipop.
Hi All
I have noticed some devices are already getting OTA for 23.4.A.0.546, however I still don't : despite the release date being a few weeks back by now confused:
Is there a customized .ftf file for the UK someone could supply I could use to flash my device to the latest? Has this already been released? Since I am on mac, I have no access to xperifirm.
Thanks,
Seb
Are you sure that you are in the correct Forum ? I doubt you mean the Xperia Z4...
Sorry friend that firmware is only released for Xperia z3 and Xperia z2. Not for z3+
Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
You are both absolutely right - I must have misread a blog post.
Nevertheless, strange what's taking Sony so long?
If I had to guess I'd say that Sony probably halted the certification process for the Z3+ in order to wait for their upcoming firmware version that will include the stagefright patch. Hopefully that will start rolling out this month...
Very good point. This seems to be top of th e agenda!

A month ago, I purchased a Sony Xperia X Performance from DoCoMo and I soon realised that I could not use neither NTTdocomo services such as Making a phone call, Texting, Using data,..., which are really essential for a student nor services from another careers. I spent my whole November on searching for a international rom for my Sony device, well, I did find it on Mobilecity site; however, I needs to have the permission from the owner to download, and unfortunately, the owner did not respond to my request. Now, I'm stuck in the Android 6 and maybe, I will have to live with Marshmallow eternally. Could any XDAdeveloper/member help me or give me a global Android 7, or even a global Android 8 rom for Xperia X Performance SO-04H (NTTdomomo)? I would be really appreciated
P/S: I am a new xda member so I am not allowed to attach the link
Anyone please ???
Have you tried using the Xperia Companion app on your PC? Just go to software repair tab, and follow instructions, after you're done just select a firmware you want from the list.
Oreo global rom available
i was able to do some research on the global rom procedure and able to create one for the locked bootloader version.

Don't post about something if you are not going to include solutions to what you claimed.
