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

Indeed, so for the unrooted ones in europe/USA this is the better version if you do not want to wait for the update.

why do you guys, post firmwares in dev section, seriously ?
Then i posted the thread, that place looked right alright.
The name Original in the thread title can be missleading for us that dont have english as our native language.

this plea isn't valuable, because in front of "original" there is "development". you just screwed up, like other blinded
Is it possible to flash this ftf to C5502 ZR HSPA? I want to buy ZR but only HSPA version is available in my place.

Yes but some say that wifi and network are unstable, and some have no issues at all with c5503 firmware on c5502.

Well im not going to argue this matter with you any more, mr helpful
And either should you since this kind of things should take place in pm and not in the forum.
Also the moderator have corrected my and others mistakes so you did not have to mention it at all.
nothing against you, just tired to see more and more people doing the same mistake. when one guy does it, other may follow the same way thinking they're doing it right. well....
anyone from the asia pacific region got the 4.3 update???????
I'm actually uploading 9 firmwares and will update my thread soon. There is the one from Philippines if you're interested. Hong Kong didn't get the 4.3 deployment yet
I have flashed this NCB on my previous HK 4.2 C5503, works perfectly, (Mario.D thank you), if you don't need region specific bundle ware, try it.

I think if you change just the number in build.prop you can update it directly with PCC and get the newest firmware.

First of all, sorry for my english, it`s not my native language... If i make a mistake just correct me, Thanks !
I`m very noob in Xperia Smartphones...
The point is that i have a few questions about using flashtools with my Xperia Z C6602:
Device: Xperia Z C6602 UNBRANDED
SO: Android 4.2.2
Customization Version: 1270-7937
1-Where i can download Stock JB 4.3 for USA or Europe (For C6602, not C6603)?
2-Is there a problem if i flash a Rom with diferent customization number which i already have?
3-What i have to do to flash the Rom with flashtools? I found few tutorials but they are very ambiguous...
4-Is there any risk using this method?
Thanks !

Firstly welcome to the Xperia Z forums!
1. Here is the US 4.3 FTF for the C6602 model http://d-h.st/peQ
2. Nope there's no problem at all.
3. This guide is very clear - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
4. Flashtool is the only way of flashing stock ROMs, as long as you read the guide above thoroughly then there is no risk of breaking anything.
I found the answers to 2 of your questions by searching, please always use the search tool first before posting
Hope this helps.

I dont think there is much difference between ftf roms except some pre-installed bloats and the baseband is also the same
You can flash any unbranded ftf
Thanks for your replay bro...
You're welcome
