Changing Stock Firmware help - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So i bought my xperia z3 compact online about a year ago.
Finally bothered to look at the technical details of my devices software and have found it's running the Taiwan software.
I was wondering if it was safe/a good idea to change to the australian software?
and if so, how would i go about it?
Thanks in advance peeps!

Anybody has Generic_UK SINGAPORE ?

Hello,
anybody has the Generic_UK either R1A or updated new R2A010 who could dump it? I had that customized version before I used the one floating around here and that version was way better!
But of course I forgot to first dump my own before upgrading.
I would really appreciate if somebody could post that version (customized Singapore) for me to donwload and flash.
Thanks very much.
PS
Perhaps someone with EMMA access could get that version off?
Or, someone who has Singapore and has updated to R2A could zip those downloaded files and upload for me?
I am just looking for a way to somehow get that customized version back to my phone!
Use SEUS software to update to original R2AA10.
if your a singtel user there is no real customisation they just add the mio sip program but it was not on the rom because i have lost the file after my first hard reset id just after i got the phone lol... i thin if you need the mio panel the best way is to g and see singtel to have the files back.

SEUS updates what you have on your phone! Since I don't have that version, it won't suddenly out of the blue decide "let's give this one the Singapore version"!
I don't even know what the differences or additions are, I just know that when I got the phone with Singapore UK, I had none of the problems other UK version users reported. And I did not think about that so I updated to the 'other' UK version floating around.
But perhaps there is someone with a Singapore version that either did not yet update and could dump it, or who has already updated but though SEUS (ony way the Singapore version will be updated!).
Or, sombody can get the Singapore Version directly form EMMA and could upload it.

[Q] Xperia Z ROM problem

Hi guys,
I have asked my friend to buy a Xperia Z for me from China during his trip. He bought me the phone but it is manufactured for China. I mean there is no google play inside, only PlayNow application and it is in Chinese. I downloaded the application file of Google Play and installed it to the phone but when I try to open Google Play it is not working.
Can I solve this problem by installing its original ROM for Europe or any custom ROM?
Your help will be highly appreciated.

I suggest that you flash a UK stock ROM using Flashtool .
You don't have to root or unlook the bootloader to do that.
As he said. Flash a UK Rom
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
thank you for the replies,
is there any information on the forum how to flash a UK stock ROM using Flashtool?
Download and flash a generic FTF file from your region, using flashtool.
Check the topic: [NOOBS GUIDE] Create your own stock firmware FTF & Flashtool flashing guide[+ pics]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188129
Check the part: Stage 4 = Flashing FTF.
That is after downloading a generic FTF file from your region, and installing the correct fastboot drivers.
This post belongs in Xperia Z General instead of Xperia Z Android Development, and should be stickied.
Very useful information by xl VipeR lx.
Kind regards, Stefan.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z Official Carrier Firmware

Hello all!!
I am after the official carrier firmware for my Sony Xperia Z C6603. I bought my Xperia Z from my friend and it had O2's branding all over it, so I debranded by flashing the stock firmware but when I come to make an in-app purchase or buy something from the Google Play Store, it will only let me use my credit/debit card instead of "Bill My Vodafone Account".
Now before my Xperia Z I had the Galaxy Note 2. I had the exact same issue with it until I found the firmware for Vodafone and flashed it with Odin. Once it was flashed with the PROPER carrier firmware, it allowed me to "Bill My Vodafone Account"
So what I am really asking for is if some kind sweet would be able to upload maybe an .FTF file or a link to a site where I can download the Vodafone Carrier Firmware for the Xperia Z C6603. I would much appreciate it thanks!
Here, Stock Firmwares spoiler
This doesn't really help me out here... I need Vodafone official Firmware not unbranded... Actually want Vodafone on my Xperia z

[Q] Problems with build 14.4.A.0.108

Hi all,
I have upgraded my Xperia z1 about 3 weeks ago.
Since day 1, had issues with the contact process and phone process.
Just did a repair (official by Sony) but still, I'm suffering from the same problems.
Any idea what to do? Can I roll back to the former version?
Help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks, evolfin
Flash It
Just Flash it with a previous Firmware.
You can find the firmwares HERE.
Just flash it with the LATEST Flashtool and you are ready to go.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Any specific version I need to use ? Any specific tool ?
Have same problem
Anyone have real solution. Is Sony working on a new update?
Could it relate to network issues ? I just moved to LTE based network...
Battery consumption is high
Hi,
Does anyone have any idea if there is a solution for these issues ?

Looking for Z3 D5833 Kitkat Australia unbranded firmware

I'm looking for the kitkat firmware for Z3 Compact D5833 Australia Unbranded firmware.
If anyone could help me out, with a valid download link, I'd be really grateful.
Does such a thing even exist? I got a Z3C a few months ago and could only find a file called D5833_23.0.A.2.93_Commercal_and_Journalists.ftf (needed KK to backup TA and install dual-recovery).
