Grab your region's version, then flash via Odin.
I find it easier to not flash the latest version, but to an older version (4.1.1) just to make it feel "Stock-ier".

Hello from Australia, still on KitKat, the ISP's haven't even received Lollipop here and its not looking like we will get an update any time soon...
So i have been thinking about CM12.1.
From what it looks like, there are only nightlies available....
Is it worth getting on that?
Are they safe enough?
Are there any other methods of getting lollipop on my device as a daily driver?
How would i go about installing CM12.1 on the Xperia Z1?
Cheers,
Marcel
Why don't you flash an official lollipop firmware? (from another carrier or a generic one). CM12.1 still have some bugs...
Search in "General" or "Android development" for stock lollipop "ftf" or "pre-rooted firmware" it's easy and safe to install

wouldnt one from another carrier (have to be a different country as the only 2 in australia dont have anything) not work with networks here? i have read in lots of places all the builds that people offer for the Z1 have issues with network and the camera. would all features work??
Well, just check frequencies...
Here in Italy we can flash anything that is EURO-LTE... Just have a look for GLOBAL-LTE rom... I think it might actually work. If it doesn't, you aren't bricking nothing, just flash 4.4.4 ftf...
I also suggest you to use xperifirm to check and download the ftfs

Question is does Australia use LTE or 4G? Because I tried a LTE variant on my UK handset and it wouldn't work, I had to create my own pre-rooted rom to allow me to use 4G.
4G LTE is not the same thing? [emoji19]

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:

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?

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.

If you use Verizon you need a device sold in the USA.
On xpericheck.com you see which device has an USA firmware.

Check at xpericheck.com if the dual SIM has a us firmware (for verizon)
If you are a Verizon customer, things getting complicated.
But maybe some config files can get modified to fix the missing mobile network.
Custom ROMs will work of course.

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
