I use the Asian H8296 in Germany with a German provider.
On XperiCheck.Com I see that the firmware update A4 is only for customized hw and tk.
Not for customized DE like the H8266.
Does that mean that I won't get any updates, until I flash a H8266 firmware or use a Hongkong Sim card?
I only see the A4 firmware (8296) for CN on xpericheck. But to answer your question, no you don't need to flash another firmware.
Your phone will get the update whenever it is released for your firmware region, it doesn't matter where in the world you use it. So if your 8296 is on TW firmware, you will get it when Sony releases that one. If you were on CN firmware, your phone would have the A4 update available already.

I had the Honkong Version.
But I flashed now the German H8266 Version via XPeriFIrm and NewFlasher V13.
It deleted my entire phone (not the sdcard), but it was a good decision to get faster updates.
I got A4 and the entire 6GB ram are shown.
The complete OS is German and working perfectly.
Thanks for the info. Hmm, I might do the same then. I had the TW version (had to send it back because the speaker was defective), but the 8266 seems to get updates faster. My only concern was the ram. Does it ever show more than 4GB being used?
Is that the info you need?
PS
Don't install the cn china firmware.
It has no Google apps, but apps with Chinese names.
Nice, it looks good. Thanks! :highfive:
Haha, I had flashed the CN on the one I had too! I reflashed right away when I didn't see any Google apps. :laugh:

Hi Martin, can you also tell us if, after flashing h8266 firmware, your VoLTE and WiFi Calling are working fine in your area? I am also from EU, and I would like to know this if possible.
Thanks for your feedback!

Since using the German Firmware, I can use VoLTE and Wifi Calling.
Getting a HD Symbol while calling and still having Internet while only in LTE.
The Asian Firmware didn't got the option to activate it.
My provider is O2 (Telefónica).

Thank you for this Martin! I wonder if I need to install Central European or Germany region firmware in order to have fully working VoLTE and WiFi Calling in my country (Romania). Also, I am curious if you actually see the benefits of the extra 2GB of Ram?
Cheers!

I don't know if the Romania firmware is optimized for your mobile network.
My average ram usage is 3.6GB
I assume, that it will consume more ram if you play a 3D game.
I also assume, that future android versions will consume more ram, so my phone is future proof.
I will use it or several years.

Hi, Martin. I also want to flash my Hongkong version as German H8266,
but I cannot find Oreo version yet, I can only find Pie version for German H8266 from Xperiafirm.
I have flashed this version, but it is stalled at accessing google service because I am in mainland China
Thus, I tried the French Oreo version because I found that at Xpericheck.com
For the Oreo, I can get into the system, but OTA to Pie is failed at the end of Stage 1 installation.
Do you know the reason, or could you share me the flashing image for German H8266 Oreo which can get OTA correctly?
Thank you very much.

You could flash the PIE version directly.
I don't know why the french firmware would refuse OTA.
Maybe it's your great firewall in china?
Only restricted google services are allowed in your country.

Thanks. In fact, I have flashed German Pie already, but the phone is stopped at first boot, because I cannot access Google directly. Even I choose skip, it still prompts that it cannot login into Google services. Thus, I have no idea, then I find French version still have Oreo firmware.

Yes, I know the wall in China. My router cannot set a VPN,
in Oreo, if Google service cannot be accessed for a while, it can be skipped for next step.
Thus, I want to find a Oreo version to flash and OTA to Pie.

Couldn't you try the first setup without SIMcard and wifi?
Hello, I have an issue with Wifi calling.. I own an XZ2 H8216. I need the feature Wifi calling that is supported by my provider (Cosmote, Greece) but I can't find it in the calling options. Searching around I found out that my specific model H8216 is not directly compatible with this service as the provider has only available the dual sim xz2. Therefore no Cosmote firmware is available for my device, I only find for the H8266 variation in xperifirm.
I generally have good computer knowledge but I have never done anything advanced in smartphones. Does anyone have any idea if something is possible?
My current version is 52.0.A.3.126
Edit: Customization version: 1313-2377_R4B

Hi all,
Support of Sony doesn't have any idea, how it works....:
I bought a EU-device and use it in Switzerland. Unfortunately, they didn't integrate the Swiss carrier settings. Due to this, I don't have VoLTE, VoWifi (Wifi calling) and 5G.
I contacted Sony by phone and they told me that the device seems to have defect, that's why it doesn't work. So I wrote an e-mail to Sony support and they answered that the hardware is only capable to have these functions for the countries it is build for. My reply was that this is an EU-Version, so the hardware isn't the problem, they just need to add the carrier settings and if they know, when they will add them. Answer of the support: No, it is the hardware.
It is really frustrating with Sony. They have build such a nice device, but with this support, they shoulnd't be suprised about falling sales.
I was thinking of open the bootloader with Magisk and try to add the settings by myself. But first, I have never done this and I am not sure yet, what I have to do exaclty (step by step). Second, I loose the guarantee. And third, I am not sure if banking apps still work afterwards.
I really love this device, but I am a little frustrated about Sony.
If you have an idea, how I can solve this problem, you would make me happy
Flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.
Envoyé de mon XQ-AT51 en utilisant Tapatalk
I tried this already (several different localizations), bitit didnt help. The problem is, that Swiss providers didn't integrate their settings into Googles carrier services, but into another database for manufacturers. Unfortunately, Sony didn't do that on the Xperia 1 ii (even if they did it on past Xperias).
But I am most frustrated, that their customer care blame it on the hardware, but it's a software problem. Even after explaining, they don't wanna check it with a specialist. So trumping something, which isn't true.
Maybe you should contact your provider. Unlocking bootloader won't help.
Envoyé de mon XQ-AT51 en utilisant Tapatalk
According to Swisscom, everything is ready and the system is waiting for the device to register in IMS. But as the mobil doesn't have the carrier datas, it probably can't do it.
So I am back at the point, where the mobile needs the settings implemented for Swisscom...
We need to wait for flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.
For now FlashTool is not supporting our device.
Later just flash US frimware you will loose double sim but you will get VoLTE and WiFi calling. I did that on Xperia 1. It was easy and satisfy choice
I have an XQ-AT51 and also tried the UK-version, which support VoLTE/VoWifi. But as mentioned, the carrier settings of Swiss providers are missing.
I really don't know if it can help, but, have you already tried this way? here
The mentioned switch in this post is greyed out on my phone and my phone is also not IMS-registered (even my provider is offering it - I have also a second SIM for the same number with an Xperia 10 Plus with VoLTE and VoWifi). So I am pretty sure, it is only about integrating providers/carriers settings. But as Sonys customer care doesn't care about it (only this sentence shows that something is wrong there) and they don't want to check it internally with an xpert on VoLTE/VoWifi, it is frustrating.
Hey PlatinCH, any news? Did you manage to get VoLTE/VoWifi working?
That's the only thing holding me back from buying it
Yes it is quite confusing for sony, i used to flash xz premium and xperia 1 with SEA firmware on my HK device and both able to use VOLTE and VOWIFI in Thailand. So i just wait for SEA firmware to release for Xperia 1 II and i flash it over to my Xperia 1 II (HK) last night. This is quite problem the volte button is there but not work, as well noticed that IMS is not registered although it trigger on but greyed out. I think pproblem is with Sony.
Anyhow i recommend to use New Flasher now as it support Xperia 1 II, and i am contributor to the dev since Xz Premium day so the dev is very updated and quick respond and it is simple and easy to use.
Question for the OP. Have a checked the modem config files to see if your carrier is listed in there? Also have you checked to see what modem config file your phone is currently using? Just type in *#*#service#*#* and go to service info, then choose software info. Your modem config will be listed at the bottom.
Quite sure it's listed there,
This phone will always select ROW Commercial config.
Don't know if this a bug or a feature from Sony
has anyone found a solutuion for wifi calling?

normally you just need to flash your country. if you live in uk then flash uk. it used to always work previously, but in xperia 1 iii to make cross flash it wont be always work and you will lose ability to OTA. but if not cross flash and your model is the same model number in your country volte and 5g will work, still OTA is not working anyhow you need to flash update manually everytime

If you are flashing the firmware for.your region and volte doesn't work then you won't have much luck flashing different region firmware. However if you want try flashing SEA firmware if it's only compatible with your model

Hi I have the galaxy S20 fe in the 5G variant and international variant. I have a plan, coverage and activated 5G by my carrier but i can't catch 5G I switched on since the beginning obviously but even after restarts I have nothing except 4G+.
In phone settings I can see that my phone is stuck in LTE/UMTS(PRL) mode and I can't see 5G NR. I also saw that my phone supports the band N28 and that's the one I'm trying to catch but i can't...
What should I do?
(photos are the coverage, the bands and the settings)
Hi, maybe you have an imported version ?
SM-G7810 instead SM-G781B
The firmware is not the same and the CSC is different too
Hi, that's what I thought at first but when I go to the settings the model is a SM-G781B (or maybe I should watch somewhere else?)
And what about your service provider software version ? Is the CSC the right one ?
I dm you too

Hi, first I invite you to follow this thread :
[Guide] Service Mode and CSC Guide/Enable LTE/5G Bands and Services/5G Low Band on U1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
I also want to know what's your CSC code? It's in your settings ==> software information
You should have a thing written like "XXX/XXX XXX/XXX" in Service provider SW version. it should be XEF because you're french (if it's not i'll tell you how to change it)
And lastly, your version isn't international so you will miss some bands, your carrier (Free) have 5G on 2 main bands, 700Mhz(NR B28) and 3,5Ghz(NR B78) your phone version can only have the B78

Okay i now have 5G on my S20 FE i'll tell you how to do it.
Don't bother you with the menu with the stars because it'll wipe your phone with what i'll tell you.
!!! BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE BECAUSE IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING !!!
1 - You have to download the latest firmware on the website www.samfw.com
2 - Enter your Phone model (SM-G781B or SM-G7810 or the one shown in your phone settings)
3 - Select the correct CSC from your location, in France you have to download the "XEF" one, it's the debranded version
4 - When you have the firmware, download Odin on XDA type "odin xda" on google to find it
5 - Search how to flash your Samsung with Odin on YouTube, i used this video (55) How to Install Samsung Stock ROM/Flash Firmware With Odin - No Rooting | Complete Guide 100% Free - YouTube
6- After flashing your phone, restart it and go through the setup and after that you have 5G !
PS: Remember that if your phone is a SM-G7810, you won't have the 700Mhz frequency and you can't add it because it's from the hardware

Oh yes i see.. It's because your phone is only for China or Hong Kong.. You can still take the CSC TGY on the website but i don't know if it'll work. And do you see the B28 or the NR28? Because the China model isn't supposed to have the NR28. Either way I hope you can still flash the rom !
Greetings folks, i have been reading a bit about changing the csc of the phone, I own a s21 Ultra G998B version and its branded with a owo rom, i live in Chile, and the Claro company of course is not up to date with the otas, and also i want to flash a clean rom with no bloatware. I read that with samkey i can change the CSC to an OXO (mine is owo) rom so i can then flash the muti csc rom. I also read that in order for samkey to work i have to roll back to may update? i'm currently on august update. am I correct in the process? can anyone recommend to which csc i can change so i won't turn my phone into a mess
thanks to all who can provide some light jeje

hi, yes it is, but i looked in samfirmware and the cho version is until august, so i think it would be the same? mine is chl which is for CLARO company and is also in august update, i would like september updates so i can try the andy 12 beta
When I bought it, it had May firmware. I changed CSC before any other update .
So , may update is working for SamKey.
Otherwise, you need to flash with latest Odin the may firmware of your CSC you want (downgraded)

No to both. Thailand FW is configured for the Exynos SoC. The China FW, even though it's configured for the Snapdragon SoC it's not compatible with the US Unlocked variant. Do you live in Thailand? If so I'm curious why you aquired a US device. We often see users buying non native devices, maybe they got a good price, maybe they moved out of their region, maybe it's a company issued phone but it's a pain when call features or 5G don't align with your service provider. Flashing non stock firmware often causes more problems than it solves. Samsung is moving closer and closer to proprietary software for individual models, mix and match is becoming a thing of the past.

No to both. Thailand FW is configured for the Exynos SoC. The China FW, even though it's configured for the Snapdragon SoC it's not compatible with the US Unlocked variant. Do you live in Thailand? If so I'm curious why you aquired a US device.

I live in Kaliningrad, Russia. This device I've bought for 30usd, new, boxed,, here, in Russia, so I was looking for ways to make it work as a Russian device(full menu translation, bands, etc.). Actually no matter, which language is used, at first I had troubles using android 11-there was no esim. Than using abd I flashed it to oneui 4.0, esim works, all lte bands are supported.

$30 USD is an awesome deal! If all bands and esim are functional that's probably as good as it gets. Unfortunately Exynos compatible FW which is dominant in Russia can't be installed on your device. Gboard may be your best option for Russian Language.
