Hi Guys,
Really need some help here.
Received my Z3C yesterday, got too excited and upgraded it to 23.2.A.0.278
I believe it is a firmware of 5.0.1 from German
I cannot find any info to root it or rollback yet, it might be out there but in German?
I would like to find a way to
A) Rollback to kitkat and root it
or if I can
B) Root it
The main reason is
1. Get rid of tons of bloatwares from Telekom.de
2. I miss using remote play through my data plan, no wifi needed. ( Yes playing my ps4 anywhere outside. I had really good connection in Seattle area for Tmobile LTE with my Z1 @ around 40 mbps, i really miss that) Root would be able to bypass the wifi check of a modified version of the remote play apk by scriptkitten posted a while ago. Even though thread was removed by admin already...
If any one heard of any, please help!
Thank you!

To rollback to kk, you will need the following: FlashTool and the FTF (aka rom file)
You can get the FTF via XperiaFirm. Please note that not all version of kitkat is rootable without unlocking bootloader.
Just follow this 'official' tutorial and you are all good.

When you root the S6 edge (any variant) PingPongRoot prevents OTA updates from installing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/general/of1-odin-g925v-tars-t3191419
Here is a link to the proper files to update to 5.1.1; just be aware it makes root impossible.

It all depends. I would recomend that before you take the update and permanently lose root, try installing a custom ROM.
There are a variety of custom ROMs available for the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge. They all outperform the 5.1.1 build.
Try finding one in the following subforum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/development
If one of these ROMs does not perform as well as you expect, just use Odin to install the official firmware.

thanks again snowby phonesaver!!:good:
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.
Hello guys,
I saw on the forum of the M20P that there's a tool used to update the device using a locked BL.
I wanted to know if anyone of you tried this, and if yes, can you tell us the result
I really don't know if this method could actually works on our device...
There's the thread link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
Thks guys for your help with the community :fingers-crossed:
I'll answer to myself,
I tested the method just above, and yes I managed to update my M20 to 9.0.0.237
I followed this tutorial video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp4k3uFDxf4 , and i used the tool listed on the thread I linked in OP.
There's a screenshot of my phone showing the version and the security patch I have now.
For the next updates, you have the choice guys, you can use Firmware Finder app on the playstore or use this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20/how-to/guide-manual-updating-firmware-t3892686.
BTW, thx to @OldDroid and @mikeos for their amazing job
I have HMA-L09 (single SIM) C432E10R1P16
Vodafone brand on the box, but software is unbranded, no vodafone crap stuff nor bootlogo, infact is C432
Just after turning on after hard reset I saw something branded, but 100% uninstallable
So, should I upgrade with this method, I'll definitely get rid of brand? and will I lose my data?
Of course I have locked BL, I used to have rooted phone since my first Android 2.1, so sad
Hi experts, I had a Sony Xperia 1 ii Docomo version (SO-51A), I want to flash a customized software on it (UK or International versions), is that possible ???
Thank you in advance …
Any one 2 answer please ...

Not sure what you variant is (japan?)
I have a xqat52 HK international dual Sim.
And successfully flashed xq-at51 UK on it.
Before flashing UK rom I could not access 5G in UK.
However you need to know I had many issues after with Google and play store device not certified.
Since it was altered, still official rom, but once you flash anything different to your original rom, you will have issues.
Be prepared to Google loads, and find out it is worth it for you.
You will need to read about possibly rooting it, so you can enjoy your device in the region you want with the features you want.
Remember unlocking bootloader, you will loose your drm. I was not too bothered about it.

I converted my 1ii from HK to UK successfully.
With the latest build
58.1.A.5.507
Using flasher
It is possible, but read carefully everything and do your research 1st. You will need some knowledge on using adb / flasher / fastboot / android Kitchen / Magisk / etc..
Unlock your bootloader too. (if you want root and not have Google issues after)
You need to check if your handset can have the bootloader unlocked, as from what I read not all handsets have this option enabled...
There is a Sony webpage (Google) that tells you whether you can do that or not....
Make sure you understand the risks and have the knowledge to do it all, as bootloops looks like a norm on forums after flashing....

Hi guys,
I need advice for the s21 Ultra that i bought on Rakuten. In the description the seller said it was an international/US version and at this time I didn't know that it could cause problems knowing that I live in France. I have the G998U/DS version
For now the phone is working perfectly. I don't have all the problem i can see in other thread like the broken GPS, a poor network, wallet broken etc. Everithing is ok.
But i need advice for the last update with Android 13. Actually i get the Android 12. And of course the phone does not offer me any updates. I know this is because i have a US version and i live in France.
So question 1 : Do you think I will eventually get the update in the future ?
Question 2 : If I install the update by flashing the phone, won't I have all the problems that others have with this us version and living in France ?
Thanks for your support fox.

Hi,
If everything is working out of the box, then you shouldn't worry much. It's always better to install the update via OTA. It doesn't matter where you live/use the device, as long as there's an update for your device (Snapdragron chipset and CSC), it should automatically show up. If you want to install the update manually, then it's better to download the official update via Frija and install the update via Odin.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It help me a lot.
About the update, i read everywhere that where we live/use the device is impact the update. For now i don't have any update that show up. I am in Android 12 and i should have the android 13 update.
Lot of people said that i probably never had the update because it's an import us version and live in France.
What about that ? Do you thinks i will get the update in the future ?
Thanks again
It seems you are on a March update. I have a feeling your device's was a locked device which was then unlocked...I could be wrong through...https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/ Here's what I could pull up regarding your device's update. You need to careful on which file you download as I don't see any OXM ROMs for US devices...they are provided by carriers.
Ok,
I think in my case, update will not be possible. I'll stay in Andoird 12 until next phone. Never buy again in Rakuten ahah.
Thanks for all your help.
Remove SIM, use VPN to connect US and try update over wifi.

Just try and not working but that was a good idea
When i chek on Frija, he give me this :
What do you think about this update ?
Edit : this firmware contains these files
If you are sure of the CSC, go ahead. The reason is yours is not OXM rom so you have to be extremely careful when choosing the files.

Ok, thanks, i think i'll do the update.
To be sure, you mention a OXM ROM but i can see that i have o OYN rom like you see in this screen :
I really can't place the device's region. There's no region called GCF in Samfrew. I feel it's a subset of another region. Dunno
Finally I did not dare to flash my phone, I am too afraid that I can not use it anymore
Anyway, thank you very much for your help
