From the Xperia X10 there is a easy method to change the firmware (debranding/branding) by changing the customization number in the build.prop. Similar threads exisits for those forums, but not yet for Xperia S. So I'm creating it here. Post yours and I will add to the first post as and when I get time. Even though the root isn't available, this will surely be useful for many.
How to find your customization number:
- Go to the dialer and press *#*#7378423#*#*
- Go to service info
- Go to software info
- Post the customization version (a way to check if your firmware is to look at the bookmark in the internet browser, a generic firmware version will always start up with the Sony mobile site)
Or look up the number in the build.prop file in /system
Please post the your location and any branding information as well.
Information is provided as given by the users. I'm just compiling it and not responsible for any wrong info.

Did you flash/debrand?
ah, that would be the reason then, i'm unlocked and upgraded to .67 nevermind then.
Edit: I will update this post later today with my partners system settings (unlocked but not flashed, so the info should be the same as T-Mobile NL) if they are different.
Edit 2: turns out it was flashed without me knowing, so same as me

I did, using the software on this forum. Only because the PC software kept insisting my software was up to date (I was on .62 before).
My phone is used in Australia on Telstra but was procured from Hong Kong. Firmware version on there before was Generic / World, but I didn't keep the customisation details.

You should be golden. The firmware is the same for European countries which have vodafone as a provider, e.g. Germany AND of course the UK.
You can verify this is the original vodafone firmware by going to Play Store > Apps - there should be a small icon named "Recommended by Vodafone". Also, you should be able to pay for apps via your vodafone phone plan.
EDIT: I have exactly the same firmware on my phone, and it's definitely a vodafone officiall fw, because I can use my mobile plan to buy apps, which does not work on any unbranded firmwares. This is the only reason I stick with this firmware.
Thanks! I cant seem to find that icon though recommended by vodafone, do you know where abouts it could be at all?
Should look like this. But then again, this is in Germany, might be completely different in Britain, mate...

Thanks! I know what you mean now, unfortunately I do not have it :S not sure what I need to install to have it. I didnt install a new kernel file when I updated the firmware, could this be the problem at all? and how would I install it if it is that with odin
I do not think that the kernel's the problem. See, the kernel is included in the tar-file you flashed and matches that particular firmware exactly. Might be you Brits do not get that vodafone icon in Play Store at all (just a wild guess).
Have you checked for any Vodafone apps (MyWeb, Music Shop, etc.)? They're real easy to spot, as they are all themed red and silver.
But in my opinion you needn't worry about not having an official fw. I checked my own phone, and everything matches the data you posted here.
Yea i have all the other apps including myvodafone, etc. and they all work fine. maybe you're right. but i think i remember seeing it before I rooted it. yea hopefully it'll be ok just wanted to check it all of those details match a UK Vodafone phone. It seems to match yours but yours is german right?

True, but it's the same firmware vodafone distributes for many many European countries. They don't make one firmware for Great Britain, one for the Netherlands, one for Germany etc. I copied the text below from samfirmware.com. As you can see, all of Europe gets the same software exactly. No worries, you're on the right firmware :laugh:

I then updated firmware through Kies and hey presto!! it updated the firmware to UK Vodafone with all the uk vodafone bits and NOTHING in german. Thanks for all your help and hope this helps someone else to.

What the update zips do:
*deletes current CSC files
*installs new modem CSC files

If there's a modem you want available as easy CWM flash, please let me know. Subject to available bandwidth, and availability of the source rom itself. I'll sort out a flashable modem for you. This is for N7105 only.
Please don't ask which modem is best for me. Different modems perform better for different regions and network conditions, so try Modem only files yourself and report back if your region is unsupported.

According to the following link, Vodacom uses the very same 1800 frequency used by Telstra and Optus.

Here is the latest (and only) N7105 modem made for Australia. Basically just extracted frm the sammobile tar, zipped it up in a CWM flashable zip so I could use it on the latest SA firmware (as AU LTE frequencies differ from SA), and thought i'd share.
made it on my work PC (Winblows) but flashes no issues through TWRP. If you get an error, through TWRP CHMOD the file first through advanced/file manager. I'll upload a better more universally usable and signed version tonight!

Hey mate - Telstra uses same frequencies as Optus - but if I see Telstra pop up on sam firmware i'll package it up. Fact I might package up all modems on sammobile, i'm sure others will find it handy too. Newest modem for another country does not always = best reception/speed
Telstra version of the phone isn't out.
Also the Samsung store Sydney showed me that the Telstra phone is a N7105T.
This may create further issues.

Haha why doesn't that surprise me, sounds just like Telstra. Probably better buy international LTE outright and just getting a SIM of Telstra if you need to use their network

Not at home currently so don't have all my nice little scripts - but I would suggest download the voda nz firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ - search on n7105.
Then you have a complete stock version to flash if require recovery, and the modem.bin can also be extracted easily from the file too.
Working fine for me! N7105 international version on Optus 4G prepaid social plan!
Hmm odd
Ive tried flashing this thru CWM and via flashing the modem.bin thru odin and the result is the same
My modem is on LJ2

I'll double check the installer a bit later when I get some time, but the modem.bin definately came out of the optus australia tar from sammobile, so possibly that is the baseband version that optus is using. My phone says the same, has since I first flashed this.
Hey rekrapg.... Great to see another pies supporter on here. The base band modem version Optus using is LJ2... If you flash the cache.img and hidden.img files that you extracted from the samfirmware along with the modem bin you will update the CSC files to optus OPSALJ3 as well. Works fine through mobile odin. I have flashed the latest DLK7 deodexed firmware then flashed optus modem cache and hidden files on odin....awesome.

502 lollipop for france is out for g850f.
i have a question - there is a chain or a specific path that samsung follow for releasing updates in specific regions?
to be more specific when lollipop arrives in romania for galaxy alpha g850f?
i saw that orange lollipop has been released for g850f in romania, but for the unlocked variant is still missing!
if someone has any idea about region releases, please post some details and i will give a BIG THANKS!
michael
no one?
somebody? any clues?
WTF?
There is no Orange Lollipop ... there is only a late update to KITKAT from Orange Romania that as usual is the crappiest mobile provider ever!
yep, sorry, my bad!
i saw something wrong.
still, about when will the update drops nearby, from first french release, there is a country pattern or something?
Nope, it could be hours, days, weeks, months depending on the mobile providers. The France release could be a test phase and after if results are positive they could go global.
Problems with software could lengthen the process and the recent apps button bug that some experienced is bound to do just that.
Or you could update to lollipop with odin. But so far only the french version is out.
5.0.2 is out in france. You can download the update from sammobile.com. Go to their site, search for galaxy alpha in firmware section, then follow the links to download it. When done, follow the tutorial on how to install odin and drivers for windows PC.I did this, first try and worked like a charm. I'm using 'international' 850F. It's really a simple procedure.
yes, but...
i have installed the french version, but i need my country version when comes out from the motive that i hope is less buggy...
there are tests now to ensure the other versions are bugless, but i dont know how many weeks we must wait for.
in the end they will push the 5.1.1 update, cuz 5.0.2 is difficult to make it clean considering google got issues too with him
when on android we have to be able to control oure frustrations regarding updates, especially from oure carriers ...so...
KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR IT cuz im not calm and im reconsider my next strategy of buying future phone
anyone with some news about when lollipop is released in other regions? ...for G850F
there are 2 weeks from france release?
how much do we have to wait?
i hope not another 2...
The best sourse for news remains Sammobile. When the update is ready, it will be posted there. We just have to have patience.

It is carrier specific. The french version is basically a test release to the public and all carriers get the same firmware. It is up to them to release that version related to them.
Basically dont blame samsung, ask your carrier when it will be released
what carrier? i'm a free carrier user! i relay on a carrier just with contract but phone was bought from shop. i can choose any carrier i want! so... who gives the updates for unlocked phones? it's samsung, i think.
corret me if not

Your csc is your carrier since thats what you were asking for, in my case my unbranded DBT alpha still has to wait for debital, the german unbranded version.
Also since you dont care, then you have your version with the french release.

Doesnt matter, it will work on the SM-G850F regardless and its a new build. Plus this is a thread about Region updates.
I would flash but I dont have time at the moment but I am sure its featured with multiple CSC's so it should not effect the use to anyones area. All SM-G850F have the same hardware and features. The difference in CSC are region tailored with specific bloatware and minor differences like lockscreen shortcuts and signal icons (some use LTE and others will have 4G). Most importantly this build has a new changelog which means Samsung may have fixed some issues with the French build.
Can i get it on danish?

Helloo,
So, if i flash the new UAE, can i still get everything on Danish? I mean, is there multiple language on? English would be fine too ..
Another thing, would this trigger knox? Thinking its not a custom, but a official ROM from Samsung, so it shouldn't trigger, am i right or?
I haven't flashed it yet but I believe it will have all supported languages. It won't trip Knox as long as its official from Samsung it won't touch knox.

Hi, I have also one Hong Kong variant bought by Internet.
I live in Spain and mostly of things works fine (only Samsung Pau and others small things don't work due to the different country).
I'm looking if it's possible to change the firm or CSC to another mostly European in order to have all of features available but I don't know if this is possible.
I know that GM-S9730 have Qualcomm inside and the others countries with Qualcomm are USA and Canada.
So could someone tell me if it's possible to use Spanish CSC over Hong Kong firmware or change to Canada (Multi-CSC) firmware?
Thanks in advance

Thanks @yakapa40 for your info. My question is if it's possible to change only CSC to have Spanish resources over TGY firm because I don't want to have an expensive brick...
I also updated my phone to ASC8 yesterday.

i also have the TGY variant, i'm from france. And tbh everything is working. Samsung pay too. I wouldn't bother changing csc right now guys. Better be safe then sorry flashing wrong things

Sorry it's impossible. That model have only two CSC regions - TGY and CHC. For all other regions exept USA Samsung made S10 based on Exynos chip and it is incompatible with Qualcomm-based S10.

Can you guys who have the Hong Kong version of the S10 confirm whether there is settings in the contacts app to sort by last name & display by last name.
I'm asking because my daughter's S9 is a Hong Kong version and it doesn't have these settings

I am using the G9730 in Bulgaria and the only problem is with the Carrier Aggregation for VoLTE.

Here is the same like in your daughter's S9.
Use US contacts app

I would think US contacts app could be used to solve this issue. Surely some kindly XDA member could provide it for you.
zen123, out of curiosity, which order are your contact names displayed?

It's not issue, it's feature of the region. The programs can do nothing, the setting appears and disappears from the menu in different regions and depends on the value in the configuration files in the CSC.
As for me, I long ago changed in contacts places a surname and a name. Now I don't need this setting.

same situation in Italy. Any chance to enable at least the VOLTE functionality?
(carrier aggregation 4x4 is too complex...)
Awesome to know for the update! I checked just two or three days ago and it wasn't on samfrew.com just yet (for GM-G9750). I'm going to have to use Odin to update because I unlocked my bootloader. First time owning a Samsung and using Odin. Anyone else in the same boat?
Edit: actually, using Smart Switch does seem a lot less like a pain in the butt than Odin, so I'll do that.
Edit 2: updating via Smart Switch was super easy and didn't take very long at all. I was worried I might get a factory reset and have to restore everything, but that was not the case.
如题,最近台版、港版、都已经更新了61.0.A.11.92系统,但是我并没有收到,不清楚是不是因为我刷了TW版本的固件所导致的

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below
As mentioned above, the 61.0.A.11.92 system has been updated recently in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but I did not receive it. I don’t know if it’s caused by flashing the TW version of the firmware.

I have the Hong Kong version, Sony ha not released any update, only one app update.
Well, XPERIA 1 III is a special model - if you flash firmware of OTHER REGION, you will not be receiving any OTA. I found this by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* - normally you can find your region code in 'Software Info'. If you flash other version, Phone Software Version will be GLOBAL-C2-user, not HK or TW.

That's interesting. I have mine showing "GLOBAL-C2 - user". But I also received the 61.0.A.11.92 OTA.
(I didn't flash, btw.)

Just bought a 2nd hand Xperia 1 III 512G in China .
Seller said it's from H.K. but I'm not sure since the charger plug is 2 pins - For China & Taiwan
Not the 3 pins - For UK & HK . The charger type # shown as - AC-0540-CN
Current software version 61.0.A.23.20 / GLOBAL-C2 - user
Have all the Google apps and that's the reason I have to buy 2nd hand HK version since Chinese version don't have al the Google apps
My question .
It's 3/23 ; I still did not get OTA for Android 12 . I think this phone might be flashed before it's with me
How will I know if the phone is original from HK or original China version and flashed the ' GLOBAL-C2 ' software .
you have the china version, if you have the hk version the adapter is AC-0540-hk or XQZ-UC11 and the android 12, its regional, hong kong already has the android 12 update along time ago. whether yours is hk or china, if its f/w flashed, it makes no different.
btw the hong kong version is also a chinese version, but it has googles.b

Google search the below, xxx is your Sony Product Code. Click on the link that starts with software.sonymobile.com, usually the first one.
Code:
sony xxx
example from your screenshot would be as below.
Code:
sony 43040280
Search for the product code number on that page. If it matches, look at the <name> field at the top to find out your region.
It looks like you have a Customized_CN product.
You have a Chinese region phone flashed with HK firmware. In this case you will not get OTA, as mentioned by other people in this forum who tried flashing other region firmware. They do not get OTA.
Yes , I do believe above is just the situation I'm facing . What I don't understand is
Current version of 61.0.A.23.20 were OTA updated from earlier version when I go the phone and reset everything
Since I can get last OTA ; Why I can't get the Android 12 OTA
Is it possible you got scammed/lied to? That your phone is actually a China region phone with China region firmware. If it is then the behavior described above makes sense. As seen in the link below, the China region firmware was on the same version you are stuck on before receiving their Android 12 update.
Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72) - Customized CN
The latest software and firmware versions for the Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72) XperiCheck.com checks the Sony servers every 5 minutes to always display the latest information.
xpericheck.com
The China version only recently got the Android 12 update. And according to Chinese message board sources mentioned from:
New Update / Xperia 1 III / 61.1.A.4.78
forum.xda-developers.com
This latest update will be released on a new staggered schedule, meaning some phones get it first, others get it later in china. It means you may get the Android 12 update OTA later than expected. Maybe lets observe if you are getting the OTA update above. If you are, you may have been conned.
