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

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

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.

Only Sony and/or your provider can confirm that, but even then it would be nice if you could tell us what version are you on now? You don't even tell us that so how are we meant to help you......

Flashing with flashtool don't need root acces and it can't be detected.
You have to read before ask,you will have a reponse faster.
Read that ,if your Z1 is not on the list wait a week or two or flash with Flashtool
I would update through the PC companion. Many people seem to have encountered problems flashing with flashtool on this update. It was taking forever for the ota for me as well

When the Z1 first announcement it come with 4.2.2 already. So if he ask for 4.3 or 4.4 that meant he on 4.2.2 already.

Whether you use UK generic or any other generic one does not make a difference whatsoever, but it's up to you.
I have never encountered any problems when using Flashtool. Just make sure to use the most recent version.
The 4.3 is avaliable so if you use OTA or SEUS you get it.
As for rooting, it doesnt avoid your warranty unless you remove the root and install a clean version when you deliver the device for repair or replace it.
Only thing that avoid the warranty is unlocking the bootloader.
Keep your .257 rooted version and wait for a rooted locked version for 4.3.
Btw there will come a hotfix version in January (newer 4.3) for Z1.
4.4 will come April/May i think...

It's the same exact phone but with a locked bootloader and most likely not much development, so no I don't think it needs its own subforum

No, you should download the ftf file and flash it via flashtool

Don't worry about it. If you flash a different regions rom, your customisation number will change.
That has no functional effect on your phone whatsoever and it's not something that can be excluded from the flash as it's just a value in build.prop.

Don't be. The customisation number is part of the rom. Just don't concern yourself with it. As long as you flash a FTF for your specific model, then you'll be fine.

It is, but it doesn't matter. When you flash a different rom, the customisation number will change.
It's mainly used when checking for updates via the PCC or OTA, so you will receive updates for the current customisation version of your phone. As the OP has unlocked their bootloader, they cannot receive updates via those methods anyway.

Generic global is your best bet, most of the bloat in that version can be uninstalled or disabled.
I have an FTF for it, could upload it later today, but it sounds like you're already on it.
Doesn't US firmware offer better reception etc in the states? Also does flashing them wipe the phone

No, it won't necessarily wipe the (whole) phone. Use Androxyde FlashTool and untick the Data checkbox as to exclude it from the wipe while flashing any firmware.

The US firmware doesn't have any carrier bloat, it's for the US unlocked version. It has Crackle TV that can be uninstalled, and a CMAS alerts app. Otherwise it's the same as UK version.
