Hello all. Trying to flash a brand new Best Buy sourced US X1Zc G8441 with the following details to get the fingerprint sensor working.
Software version 1308-8921_47.1.A.2.324
File system GENERIC_47.1.A.2.324
Customization 1310-4371-R8B
What is the list of fewest files I need to flash to get the fingerprint sensor working? I'd like to avoid flashing a different region firmware. This phone will be on AT&T and needs HD voice/VoLTE/VoWiFi. Thanks in advance.

There are lots of guides to flashing on this forum.

Exactly the problem, 500 ways to slice bread all claiming the best results. Hoping somebody can point me to a list of the fewest .sin files that when flashed to a US XZ1c will get the fingerprint sensor working. Don't need a guide to flashing.

AFAIK, ONLY phones sold specifically by AT&T and using the AT&T branded firmware will be able to use AT&T HD Voice.
The XZ1C is not sold by AT&T with their rom, so it cannot use AT&T HD Voice.
The minimum file you need to get fingerprint to work is simply to flash basically any other region's stock rom. It's just one flash. I recommend CE1 or UK. You'll even get faster updates that way. You only need to flash additional files on top of that if you want T-Mobile VoLTE/WifiCalling to work, but doing so will break OTA updates.

Or flash an other region. Every firmware is the same and you won't loose warranty

Well, there's really not that much to do. When the firmware is available for your customization, people with locked bootloaders will be able to download the update via SEUS to either flash it directly or create an FTF file.
Until the firmware is cleared for launch in your region though, there's nothing that anyone can do to magically make it appear. That's just the way it works :/

Yeah because I tried one I can read/write arabice but I can't set the UI arabic.

This really isn't Sony's fault. Usually OEMs will have firmwares ready for everyday use (with some bugs though), only weeks after the release of a new Android version. The time between then and the actual OTA release of the firmware to the community is spent partially on fixing these bugs,but mostly on geting the firmware certified in each country around the world. This certification procedure includes testing of the WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and everything else that has to meet a certain standard. Unfortunately, not all of these tests are standardized, meaning that a lot of certifications has to take place in each country respectably, since a lot of countries have different demands to approve the firmware. (This is the main reason for the delay between different regions, since different countries finishes these tests at different times)
When this LONG procedure is done, you might have a carrier that wants to add some software (aka bloatware) to the firmware before they also approve its release. It is not until then that the actual firmware for your region will be available for download, so as you can see, the process of releasing new firmware is quite an extensive one.
Hey
I have Sm-N9600 and I guess it has a latin region, so I live in USA and Samsung pay doesnt work here and really need Samsung pay desperately, I ve heard that I can change CSC to make it us version in order to make samsung pay working, is that possible?

do you mean if I install t mobile firmware via odin, that will make it work without any problems?
I think the bootloader is different for a non-US model, even if it is Qualcomm and thus ODIN will fail to flash the firmware for a different model. You may be out of luck on this one I feel, but maybe someone else has a way to get around this without root.

This.
However i dont know if prince comesy odin would flash this or not.
Im leaning towards it would allow the flash but i dont know if the firmwares are cross compatible different device models so likely not.
Try at your own risk.
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
I had done this on my international G965F S9+ and patched ODIN would let me flash it successfully, but the phone won't boot due to some "mismatch" error because of the some security checks Samsung put into Bootloader so you can only run matching CSC, Modem, AP files.
SMH...how much effort they put to restrict users from rooting and customizing their phone...so much for openness they had promised once when they hired the Cyanogen guy....
Hi there. Quick question hopefully someone can help me with.
I've been using my XZ1 Compact as my regular device for almost a year now without any complaints. Only issue is that I'm stuck on Oreo without the latest features or security updates.
Can I simply flash a Pie rom via TWRP? Is this possible without breaking root status? Will this modify the device's firmware in any way?
My concern is that I am based in the US... because of this I had to flash an international firmware to enable the fingerprint sensor. However in order to enable Voice Over LTE/WiFi calling I had to modify a few lines in the firmware so that I could both enable the fingerprint sensor AND allow VoLTE simultaneously.
Just wondering about the best way to go about this.
Thanks in advance.

I've already been through all that. I'm looking to specifically update to android 9 whilst keeping all that functionality.
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to flash the T-Mobile US SM-A716U firmware on the SM-A715F/DS device. Will Odin allow it? Will the device function? As far as I can tell, the chipset is the same, but I wonder how it would affect functions like Dual SIM. (The T-Mobile firmware also has support for 5G, which may not be supported on the SM-A715F/DS.)
Does anyone know what could happen, or if it works? Are there any negative consequences, and could someone explain if the bootloader needs to be unlocked or anything? Ideally, I'd like to get that SM-A716U firmware loaded in the SM-A715, but want to keep everything as stock as possible. I'm also not terribly familiar with Odin., so I'm not sure if the software allows flashing a firmware intended for a different device variant.
Thanks in advance!
no, it won't work. A715F kernel doesn't have property for A716

Not sure what you variant is (japan?)
I have a xqat52 HK international dual Sim.
And successfully flashed xq-at51 UK on it.
Before flashing UK rom I could not access 5G in UK.
However you need to know I had many issues after with Google and play store device not certified.
Since it was altered, still official rom, but once you flash anything different to your original rom, you will have issues.
Be prepared to Google loads, and find out it is worth it for you.
You will need to read about possibly rooting it, so you can enjoy your device in the region you want with the features you want.
Remember unlocking bootloader, you will loose your drm. I was not too bothered about it.

I converted my 1ii from HK to UK successfully.
With the latest build
58.1.A.5.507
Using flasher
It is possible, but read carefully everything and do your research 1st. You will need some knowledge on using adb / flasher / fastboot / android Kitchen / Magisk / etc..
Unlock your bootloader too. (if you want root and not have Google issues after)
You need to check if your handset can have the bootloader unlocked, as from what I read not all handsets have this option enabled...
There is a Sony webpage (Google) that tells you whether you can do that or not....
Make sure you understand the risks and have the knowledge to do it all, as bootloops looks like a norm on forums after flashing....

Yes mate all good and 5G switching band correctly in the UK. XQ-AT52 would not turn to 5G only 4G,nightmare explaining this to Sony or phone carriers... Useless
