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).

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
I just ordered my Xperia z3c and one of the first things to is root and upgrade to lollipop.
I know for rooting I have to diowngrade to Kitkat, but since it is a brandnew phone I think it will still be on Kitkat so maybe I can skip this step.
I know the latest firmware is 23.1.A.1.28 and I have to make a pre-rooted prf and than install that one.
In know you can download the files through xperifirm and then compose the ftf file you need as input for the prf.
If possible I'd like to skip this step and find this firmware already in a file.
Up to now I have found a version for Nordic countries with this release number or one for Telekom Germany.
I'd like to know which is the smallest firmware of this release to install it on my phone.
I do not want to start debloating myself, I'd just like to have the smallest version possible.
For the Xperia Z1 Compact this was the Italian version, which one is it for the Z3 compact?
But I do want to have it in a version accepted in Europe, I'm Dutch speaking so Dutch must be available in the language set when installing.
Can somebody help me out?

The Central Europe firmwares are very low on extra bloat, I think. But as long as you pick a generic firmware, the differences in sizes are negliable. Some have a few more region-specific apps than others, most are removable in the normal way and since you'll be rooted, the few remaining non-removable ones can be easily removed with an app like Titanium Backup.
I think that this is the best what you can find for Z3C at this moment.

1.28 , nicely debloated, prerooted, xposed. Just install it after rooting KK.
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!
download the australian FTF, and flash it with flashtool
Hi guys! I have a sony z3 compact Vietnam/Singapore Region and maybe our Sony branch forgot release new firmware 6.0 for z3c, i've found that in Australia already released Firmware 6.0 for D5833 (Australia Generic)
Can i flash this firmware for my Z3c (Singapore Genenic)
Im currently using a generic D5833 firmware, so yes, you can do it(currently 5.1.1)
You can flash any firmware just following this rule:
Flash FTF for your SPECIFIC xperia model, D5833 WITH D5833 FTF/FILES
never, i must emphasize, NEVER FLASH D5833 WITH D5803 FTF/FILES ETC
heres a tutorial dont forget to thank the autor of that tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
Lol, you can Flash D5803 files even with a D5833 device. I personally did it with mine nothing really happened except the LTE Icon got changed to 4G, but otherwise 4g still worked.
Anyone still have the .ftf file for D5803 KitKat 4.4.4 unbranded UK firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 UK (1288-4954)? Seems no longer to be available from Mega etc.
why u need downgrade to kitkat rom on these days??

A quick googling turned this up - and the link works.

Thanks but 23.1.A.0.726 is Android 5.0.2 Lollipop not Android 4.4 KitKat which is what I was looking for. Since I was unable to locate a copy of UK Firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 I used the Belgian version instead which is almost (but not quite) identical.
