My Z3+ is from Japanese Au carrier (model SOV31). It has been sim unlock with code. I just download latest firmware with XperiaFirm, create FTF file with flashtool with simlock.ta and flash the firmware by flashtool 0.9.19.3 without checking exclude simlock.ta
After flashing, My phone does not recognize any simcard. I try to flash stock, factory release firmware (lollipop 5.0) but it still no result.
Any way to fix this.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Hi
I am trying to remove t-mobile boot logo from firmware, and i want to make the firmware generic as possible.
Using flashtool and G8441_T-Mobile HR_1311-0658_47.1.A.12.235_R7B firmware to create new bundle.
Now few questions:
1. Do i need to delete fwinfo.xml and update.xml from firmware folder?
2. Can i remove boot logo by deleting some .sin file or .sin file needs to be edited?
Any tips appreciated.
I think that branding depends on your branded firmware. There is no problem to just flash an unbranded version. This is quite easy with Flashtool. Just download the proper version for your smartphone. You can select every version from Sony. The language files are included in every firmware.
To get a generic unbranded firmware.... you flash a generic firmware... like i am using G8441_Customized MY_1311-1764_47.1.A.12.235_R6B. There is cusomtized version for germany too.
Thanks for tips but i knew that, i was asking how to do it manually on branded firmware, and by the way how to know which firmware is without branding in xperifirm?

I've never used a branded fw before, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in /oem/media/bootanimation.zip. so you would have to edit the oem.sin (or remount /oem as writable if you got root).

You have to get your phone rooted first with twrp.
Then you must have z3x Samsung tool pro box
You can clone your main imei to 2 imei
Then flash dr keten rom that supports dual sim patch in aroma installer.
And you must buy sim tray for dual sim because the single sim phone only you can insert 1 sim and 1 memory card the second sim will not insert.
And also Cloning imei is not easy my friend you must have knowledge to use z3x tool otherwise you may brick the phone because you have to edit some files in EFS partition.
Dont try crack version z3x they will not work.
I am assuming you have a refurbished N960N that came with dual sim and you did flashed stock firmware to upgrade.
Because N960N originally never came with dual sim.
Some chinese refurbishing companies they clone the imei+they change back glass to duos model+they flash dual sim patched software. Because dual sim has more value in asian market.
So if this is the case all you have to do is flash twrp and flash dr keten rom and choose dual sim patch during aroma installer.
You will get back your both imei and dual sim suoport back as you bought.
On stock n960n firmware dual sim will never work.
Hope thus will help
For my information, my device was working in two dual sims, I updated via odin So he became single sim

Yes Because originally your phone is single sim
Someone clone the imei and convert it to dual sim via software.
You have to use dr keten rom if you want to use dual sim.
On stock firmware it will work as single sim.
Thanks
Hi, can someone share the dr ketan file for the dual sim?

I have an N960N with 2 Imeis and dual sim support( bought from a chinese friend, wasn't cheated) . I believe it has dr.ketan(Android 9) rom pre-installed with stock recovery( check Screenshot). I have seen your previous replies on how to get 2 imei and dual sim support using Dr.Ketans rom , but do you think this will work if I update to Android 10 stock(which is required) from Android 9 and then Flash latest Dr.ketan rom that's based on Android 10. I know there's a whole thread where I can ask questions but Dr.ketan is not available at the moment with the current situation going around the globe.

You could upgrade the bootloader and modem to android 10. The instruction is in the first page of Dr.ketan's thread.
Then flash Dr.ketan's latest rom.
However I'm not sure if flashing bootloader and modem will retain your second sim or not.
For sure if you flash stock rom, it will not work anymore.

Hey! thanks for your support. Yes i have seen those instructions, but i am afraid to take the risk, as when i went through the thread searching for imei related issues there have been many asking similar question but no solutions for now. Do inform me if you find a solution, as there are many of us who want to update to Android 10 without losing dual sim functionality on N960N. THANKS.:good:
Edit: And yeah i have Z3X box with me but i dont know how to use it.

It's good to flash stock rom first while updating from Pie to Q, but there's one more way to do it if you don't want to flash the whole stock rom. You can find full instructions by searching on Dr.Ketans rom thread. You just need to download his rom , stock BL & CP files that he has provided in N960N download section. Sorry for late reply
Do I have to root the note 9 to use dual sim on it?
It is originally N960N
I changed my note8 for note9 sm-n960n, the sim cartridge was duos but the same imei for both sim cards, the download sreen was in Korean language and few apps was Korean to, it works in both sims, i don't know if it was rooted, anyway i'm used to flash my own room choice, the Dr.keaton and super-stable rom work duos sim, but the Dev-base is single sim support. much as I have encountered any issue is the one, I cannot establish s-pen connection with Bluetooth other than using as typical stylus.

I bought a phone like that recently (N960F/DS). I never checked it well when i bought it because it was sealed, so i thought all was good. When i got home i found out it was already rooted (surprise!!) and that it was originally N960N converted to N960F/DS. Now I wonder if the process can be reversed because i want to remove the root and update it to android 10 (it is still in 9). Please anyone knows how to reverse the conversion?
If I flashed N960N firmwares will that work or will it brick the phone?

My reply is coming in a bit late, I don't know whether you still need the answer - but yes, you can easily reverse the process by simply flashing original N960N firmware. I have done it myself in a similar constellation to yours. If your phone ends up bricked, it won't be because of this flashing per se.
Allow me to ask you a question - how did you confirm that your phone was originally N960N as you say?
Hello everyone, I just want to ask. I've Xperia XZ2, it's AU Model (SOV37), using Global Firmware (H8216).
I want to flash back into it's original firmware in order to use the NFC.
I already download the Japan Firmware (SOV37_KDDI JP_52.0.C.5.295-R13B), but I'm afraid that it will sim-locked if I flash it.
I'm also afraid that since this device wasn't able to unlock the bootloader (since the Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No), can I still flash the firmware?
Can anyone show to me step by step how to flash the firmware (Not flash the STOCK ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
as long as you delete all the .TA files there shouldn't be any problem, though the latest japan firmware available is android 9
not sure what you mean by firmware though, since technically what you trying to do is flashing a firmware as in stock rom
hey anyone been able to successfully get VOLTE working on their xz1 compact on the Telstra network?
i've flashed the oem.sin from the Indian XZ1 dual firmware, but that didn't work.
so im curious if anyone has been able to flash any other file to their xz1 compact to get volte working.
Also i have locked bootloader and been using flashtool to flash the files.
also can i flash teh oem.sin file from say the xz premium firmware onto the xz1 compact?
ok so i've tried flashing the oem.sin file from the xz premium firmware using flashtool and it failed because of the signature..
so i guess I would have to stick to oem files from the xz1/xz1 compact firmwares.
so the question is which country firmware might enable volte for telstra.
I have the Xperia 1 II and volte works in Australia.
I recommend you flash SEA region Firmware on your phone. See if that works on Telstra. If it doesn't then put a Vodafone Sim card after flashing to see if volte works
