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
Hi guys, I in Vietnam and I have a Xperia TL Lt30at, I bought it from a store in my country, now I want to upgrade firmware 4.3 for my phone. But I don't know what firmware for it, as I search, that just has firmware 4.3 for Xperia T/TX. I just wondering my phone can read my sim, can use gsm and 3G in my country, so is that unlocked? If it was unlocked, can I use it as every Xperia T (Lt30p) other and up every firmware as Lt30p?
Sorry for my bad english
Hello. I am also using Xperia TL. I can answer your questions :
1) TL can use any rom of Xperia T, not TX made for looked bootloader.
2) You can test your phone with Vietnamese mobile network. If it doesn't run, you should ask your seller to unlock network for you.

I sure that, because i have tried it. I'm using Ultimate PureXT v2.1 of DaRk-L0rD and it run properly, except general bug of xperia T
Had you used search before posting, you would have found my guide on upgrading LT30at to 4.3. LT30p and LT30a/t are the same devices. The only difference is that that a devices have LTE radios in them. Since you use only 3G network, you don't need to worry about basebands.

PureXT is based on stock. Sony no longer upgrades software for its at&t devices, so you have to use stock-based custom ROMs if you want to be up to date.

So if I just use 3G network, I can flash firmware via flashtool normally? But can you help me to know which firmware can flash from the list in above ?

Sorry if I dont understand what you said
So there's no way to upgrade to 4.3 except flash rom cook? I thought it could be debranded ?

Let me get this right:
- you own LT30at: Xperia TL with USA at&t branding, not Rogers from Canada, which is LT30a
- you live in Viet Nam and you don't have 4G/LTE network where you live
- you want to upgrade the firmware to 4.3 and keep all native Sony features
All you have to do is follow my guide. There is no 4.3 coming for LT30at via Sony Update Service.
"ROM cook" stuff doesn't mess up your device because it's basically the stock ROM with some APKs added/changed. I don't know why you worry about losing at&t branding - it's absolutely useless to you since you aren't in the USA.
Moreover, flashing using the flashtool, you will lose all of your apps, settings, and root access. If you are fine with that, then do go ahead and pick any TFT firmware for T or TL from the list and then flash it.

I'm worried a little that you misunderstood something we had said. Please verify everything with Vietnamese resources.

If I don't need to keep apps, settings and LTE, can I follow the instruction in DaRk-L0rD's post?
@kulomo: You can either follow DaRk-L0rD's instructions or just flash an FTF using Flashtool.

Why are you even trying to unlock the boatload? You need to root the phone not unlock the bootloader. Just follow the instructions.

Hello,
I am from Slovakia and I bought Sony Xperia Z3 Compact today.
It contains branded ROM including apps and sounds of T-mobile from Poland.
I would like to install clean (international) ROM with Sony Xperia only apps or other kind of debloated ROM.
Could someone help me to do this or point me to any tutorial for it? I would prefer to do so without root.
Thank you in advance
I'm such a noob:
