[Q] Hello ,Can SO-02E(Japanese version) flash other brand roms?

Hi everyone .As the title said. I wonder if the Japanese brand phone can flash other roms(e.g. Global or Taiwan or something like that.),or have someone tried?
If i flash other brand ,what issue may i meet?
I want to buy a Xperia Z and the Japanese seems to have some functions that I need. So it is very important for me to know the answer so i can make my final decision.
Really thanks

I made the opposite
I flashed SO-02E on UK C6603, excluded Base band files, every thing was running great except NFC.
I think you can, but you'll lose NFC, and native exFAT support of ext SD.

[Q] Original firmware Xperia Z2

Hello, I flashed my Z2 with Lollipop with nordic combined (or baltic), and now I see that it is up for more and more regions. I want to flash with the firmware that came with the phone, but I dont know which one was it or if it matters what firmware is on the phone(its unlocked not some market operator stuff). I got a backup, but dont know how to see from that.
On the case that came with the phone got my imei and s/n, and SI 1280-5940.3 AR,FA,EN,FR.
Andone can give me tips how to find out (and if it really matters which firmware is on the phone)?

Z3 Compact from Docomo Japan (SO-02G) - NFC firmware update Failed (-1)

Hi,
Are there any known issues when flashing a Docomo branded Z3c (SO-02G) with the generic FW (D5803)?
As usual after resetting the phone it tries to update the NFC firmware. But that fails with "NFC firmware update Failed (-1)".
Is this a known phenomenon? Is the Docomo version any different than the generic one?

I attempted to install Android 6.0.1, and after two days I have not seen any problems. Only nfc. Does not work

The nfc still works outside Japan and without using docomo uim. Try to update using Wi-Fi to latest firmware using OTA

No, it won't work with D5803 version

Any Japanese SO-02G with D5803 firmware won't have NFC usable. If you want to use NFC, then buy an original non-Japanese Z3C handset and you can change its OS to UK, US or Global without facing any problem.
Btw is the problem still there with Z5, X Compact and other latest models made for Japanese DOCOMO Network or is it just Z3?

Hey guys you know you can downgrade your z3c with out unlocking the boot loader of device. Yes it really works. I downgraded my own device from mm 6.0.1 to lp 5.1.1 and it really works and much better battery ? timing now even with nfc firmware update failed on my docomo...
You can download lp 5.1.1 from here.
Xperiablog.net/forums
And enjoy...
One more thing. You can downgrade any Xperia device without unlocking the bootloader. Not just z3 compact only...

I need help. I wanna know that is it possible to disable nfc on my Xperia z3c docomo without rooting the device.
It's root procedure is so complicated and some says that it can't be root without unlocking the bootloader which manufacturer didn't allow on this device....

Need assistance with the Sony Xperia Z C6603/C6606 GPS dont work after Lolipop 5.1.1

Hi , ok ill get right down to it. I got an Xperia Z not really sure if its a C6603 or a C6606, but according to the IMEI and an internet search it says it the C6606 model. Which is quite strange as I had bought it new online and the seller was advertising it as the C6603 model , it actually had the android 4.3 preinstalled when I got it, in the phone specs it did say C6603 but that didnt match what the IMEI was indicating . Now the issue im having is I wanted to upgrade to the lolipop 5.1.1 , so i tried the sony companion software but it said i already had the newest software which is not true as the newest software is 5.1.1 and im running 4.3. So next i downloaded the 5.1.1 through the flashtool for the C6603 model , the central European version and it works great but just one issue is im not getting any GPS fix nothing , it did work with the older android version , any suggestions ? by the way im still not sure if its a C6606 or a C6603 , IMEI states its a C6606 , but i cannot locate any lolipop 5.1.1 android firmware for it so up till now i tried the C6603 lolipop and get no GPS fix , any help kindly appreciated iv spent 2 days on this dont know what to do .

So just to recap theres 2 issues here :
1) GPS isnt able to get a FIX after the lolipop 5.1.1 update for C6603 wheras it did work on the older 4.3 android.
2) According to the IMEI it says my phone is a C6606 but I havent seen any android lolipop 5.1.1 firmwares for that model.

Alright finally I was able to get it to work. Turns out the metal aluminum bumper case I was using was interfering with the GPS , after taking off the bumper case the GPS runs.
However on thing I still cant get to work correctly is my LTE or 4G , i got a new SIM and it still dont work any suggestions ? I mean the LTE also didnt work with the older android version I ran before. Any ideas ?

You can find the model number at the bottom of the phone, it says made in China C660X and then the IMEI and the production date. If it's a C6606 it only supports LTE Bands 700, 850, 1700 and 2100. I guess your carrier uses a different one. In your case I would return it, as you bought a C6603 and got a C6606

Thanks for the reply , returning it isnt possible. On the back it says C6603 but when I input the IMEI online it says its actually a C6606 which is intended for the US market and im in Central Europe. Could this be affecting my ability to get LTE ? So far iv managed only to get H+ , my carrier told me that im in range of the LTE , LTE is enabled on my account and my SIM is also compatible. So I guess then how can I enter the settings or is there an app which will help me modify the LTE band to suit the one in Europe ?

Missing NFC setting on SOV39 running H8416 firmware

Hi guys,
I have an SOV39 and I flashed H8416 latest firmware. Everything is working good except that the NFC setting has been missing in the Settings. (It shows label NFC Setting but there is nothing)
Have anyone know how to fix?
I intent to flash H9493 firmware to see if NFC setting is there but I am not sure it will brick my phone or not.
Please help!

You can try a custom rom, the other stock firmware or the sov firmware.
But I think no one knows an answer about this exotic configuration.
The sov xperias are only in Japan.

I wish I could try a custom rom, since mine is not allowed to unlock bootloader
So, as you mentioned that I can try H9493 on my SOV39, right?

I have no clue, but do you have any choice?

Ok thanks for your suggestions. I think I will flash the H9493 fw. Hope it wilk not brick my phone. ?

Good news, it won't brick my phone, bad news, still no NFC setting, even worse, no cellular signal.
?
So just back to SOV39 stock firmware and stick with that.

Or sell it and buy the international version [emoji14]

Haha good idea. But I've just bought it a week ago

A good time to sell it back
