i have a NTT DOCOMO Xperia NX SO-02D, thinking about putting the international LT26I firmware on it.
can i do that? or does i need an unlock bootloader which i think with the NTT model, it can't be done?
where do i download the image and do it?
any backlash i should be aware of?
I have the same device and I'm running Poland generic LT26i.
No unlocked bootloader necessary. Use flashtool (latest version) and. FTC of your choice. Only backlash is loss of Docomo, SE splash screens and apps. NFC will show but is disabled on this device.

How about wifi tether? Will it work? Also, which carrier r u using and is it easy to go back to docomo?

SO if there is no NFC support does that mean this phone wont workwith felicia epayments in Japan?

The SO-02D does not have Osaifu-keitai support regardless of whether you're on the stock docomo fw or the int'l fw. It does not have the NFC antenna.
The SO-03D however does have osaifu-keitai support.

yes,that's right, but both will not work outside Japan.
You won't use it outside of Japan anyway
Can you root/install CM9 on SO-02D ?

No, bootloader unlock status is set to no.
You would have to use testpoint method if you wanted to experiment.

Don't use wifi tether so I wouldn't know. I'm on AT&T in the States and I have tried UK 67, NL 73 and CE 73 and I'm back on Docomo 6.0.A.5.6.
I used flashtool to test the firmwares and returned to 6.0.A.4.1. Then used PC Companion to update to 6.0.A.5.6.
rooted using Flashtool
I see that there's are rooted for our unit.
Can i use flashtool to flash a rooted image?
since our bootloader is locked... is that the only to obtain root on the docomo device?
If you flashed to different region firmware and unclick the wipe user data. Your data should be fine right?
just flash the official rom,all function should work perfectly,except nfc

I think it is UK, Europe for sure. Unbranded, too.
I actually flashed a C6802 Firmware on my C6833 which took away LTE, but left everything else in tact.
Unfortunately from what I have read the C6802 simply lacks the LTE chip on the SOC so actually there is no way to get LTE.
But feel free to try. If all fails you can still always flash back.

I am battling a different problem at the moment, so cannot try today.
I hope someone has the time to try it out, since from what I understand, C6802 does indeed have same SoC as C6833, which is SD800 MSM8974
There were discussions that 'maybe' the antenna could be different, but my gut feeling says it is the same.
Lets see..

Unbranded does not mean no bloatware. It just means, that it is not a carrier branded version like vodafone or t-mobile, o2 or whatever with their special software installed.
What you want is a vanilla android version for the Xperia Z ultra.
Look in the development forums. Maybe someone is working on this.
With root access you can also delete unwanted apps, though in the newer android versions, you can also disable unwanted apps what essentially freezes them.
lol i don't mean bloatware in that way i am fine with sonys UI its just o2 version has o2 bootup and loadsa of o2 software pre installed and i would like to flash it to the international unbranded carrier free
if this what i am looking for?

GPe is not going to happen soon by the looks, two devs have bricked their Ultras so far...
I'm guessing that your ultra is locked to Bell? then the only option as far as I know is using Bell released firmware untill it is unlocked from Bell

my phone is unlocked, i have unlocked it already doe its sim lock free. but unlocking simlock has nothing to do with firmware flash.
so i guess nothing can be done for branded phone to be flashed with google play edition?

Well if it is bootloader unlocked and you want 4.4 have a look at the omni or one of the two CM11 threads.
As for GPe no non GPe are running a GPe rom yet that I know of, there are a few builds that get some way through the boot process but not to a usable system yet

Your phone is CARRIER-unlocked - that is not the same thing as having an unlocked bootloader.
As far as I am aware, ALL Bell Xperia Z Ultra's have a locked bootloader that *cannot* be unlocked.
If you plug your phone in to your computer and run the PC Companion - you can upgrade to 290 - you just cannot have root given the locked bootloader and that the only tested method to root at the moment requires an unlocked bootloader.
Hassan is of course completely right. He's been in pain for too long now, and I'm starting to understand that Bell is indeed the spawn of Satan himself.
You'll never be able to flash a non-Sony ROM on your Ultra, unless Bell chooses to give you the unlock key, or if the world's most competent dev figures it out himself (which has happened several times before, but don't count on it).

Root on Stock Sony 4.4.2 with a locked bootloader is only available via installing via a recovery, which can only be installed from a rooted device or via the exploit found in 4.2 (532).
Which means you will have to downgrade to 532, install [NUT]'s dual recovery (no need to root first, flash the C6806 rooted 757 zip in recovery and then flash the stripped c6806 757 ftf file.
Of course, you could have done that for a short while using the US generic / unbranded files posted in the dev thread.
As far as I know the bootloader is locked on the bell version and cannot be unlocked which is the reason I won't buy it even though they are selling used for cheap in my area

I'm in the same boat. I rooted my Bell Ultra Z right after I bought it, but then I accidentally upgraded to .757, and now I need to get back to 532 to be be able to root it and get rid of all this bell crap installed on the phone. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? This is all so confusing to me because of the whole locked bootloader issue.

Flash any customised region ftf you like as long as it's your device's model no. Only real difference is a few pre installed apps vary from region to region and some say 4g instead of lte when on a data connection. Also do include anything with simlock.ta in the ftf you are flashing as only Sony service centre can reserect it.

Hi, I just bought a Vodafone UK xperia 1 and plan to use it in Denmark.
Would I need to unlock it first?
Can I just get a eu generic sony Rom and flash it?
Which is the current best flash tool?
Sorry if these are dumb questions but it's been a bit since I flashed sony roms
Cheers
You can flash a generic Sony firmware without unlocking the bootloader but that won't sim unlock it. You'll need a code if its network locked, check service menu

Hmmm, I've been sent 4 different "unlock" codes by Vodafone, none of which have worked. How hard is it for them to unlock a network locked phone? Jeez....wish I'd never bought from Vodafone.
I have a sim unlocked Xperia 1 J8110, there is no such option in the settings for VoLTE anywhere, I tried doing *#*#4636#*#* then going on to phone information, but the VoLTE provisioned is grey'd out, is the another firmware I can flash?, Preferably unbranded as I don't want bloatware.
