According to what I've read on different forums and websites, The original firmware from Hong Kong has an Apps To SD function. I also don't know why they included that in the Hong Kong firmware.
Question: Can I install a firmware from the region Hong Kong if my phone came from a different region? Thanks!
There is no reason why not, but back up first to be safe.

Its new so I think I dont need to backup. Might flash my Mega right away when it arrives this coming friday.
Anyone else who would like to try the Hong Kong rom?

I have tried the HK Rom and cannot find any MoveToSD button in app manager. Maybe I broke something when I built it though.

I tried to flash it today without having to factory reset my phone and it works fine. Where did you get your HK Rom? Maybe you got the wrong region?

Yep. We same file for the stock rom. Here's also a screenshot of my about page

Thanks for the info, but this is not good news, it means this is somewhere in the Samsung bloat I removed.
This might help: I used the turn off function on most of the samsung bloatwares instead of uninstalling it. So maybe its not because of the bloatwares..

Thanks for your help.

What format is your SD card? I am getting a "not enough space error" when there clearly is space
I don't know haha sorry! But I formatted it using my phone. No other weird format or stuffs i used for this to work

I bought my Mega off ebay (an import) and got an update immediately which I imagine was the app to SD support. I've got I9205ZHUAMG1 firmware. App to SD really helps me a lot as I think there was only about 4.9GB available memory in the phone so now I have the majority of my apps on the SD card (although some data remains on phone still).
SD Card Size
After installing the HK ROM, I have the apps to sd feature but my internal SD card size is reported incorrectly. Does anyone have this issue?
I have 8gb sd but now it is reported as 16gb sd.

Hi, I posted a thread (is that right? I'm a newbee haha) about my phone saying 16GB when it's an 8GB phone. Is yours the same?

What do you want to know about this? What is fake, your IMEI? That is now shown here. Be more specific. The information shown seems legit if your wondering about build numbers and android version etc.

Not sure if I can post here a video link but here you go
2nd I found this:
Use the link above to check the IMEI number. Each IMEI number is 100% unique to the individual device and is also unique to the manufacturer. These numbers are assigned in blocks to the manufacturer so that there can be no two devices with the same IMEI number on any cellular network at the same time.
When you check yours it will tell you who the manufacturer is, or it may tell you nothing. If you get no results, it is definitely a fake. If you don't get Samsung and all the expected results, it's a fake. If you get the expected results, it still may be a fake. Only the best knockoffs will pass this test.

It might be easier making your own if you know how to?
If your already rooted and you can edit the build.prop file and change the customisation number to that from Three. Then reboot your phone and connect to PC Companion or SUS it will say update available and download the three firmware files which you can convert to ftf.
That's what I did with my O2 handset and it worked perfectly.

Coming from Samsung this is kinda confusing the firmware thing.
So basically I have a bell Canada z2 which has the firmware attached on the photo. Could I update it to a latest software or that is the one? I'm rooted already.
If I could update it what files do I use? What are the chances of bricking? Thanks

Flash the latest ftf fimware for Canada, which has been posted on here already. Instructions on flashing are posted here as well.
I told you mate…
Download latest ftf and flash it through flashtool
You can use generic rusian for that, just exclude baseband files from flashing…

This is not reason. Using flashtool to flash newest firmware. Or maybe you will never receive any update in the feature.

Its called Sony PC Companion. Go to settings > xperia connectivity > USB connectivity > Tick the install software button. Then if you plug your phone in, it should prompt you to install the Sony software onto your PC. Install it then check for an update that way. It should say you have an update available.

Should do it. Rooting should not prevent checking for updates/receiving OTA notifications
The answer is because Bell Canada's and a few other carrier branded phones is still on 17.1.A.2.55, so PC Companion for instance would say you are up to date. As other have mentioned, use the Flashtool and flash your phone with a generic ftf which has the latest version.
I would say flash Canada generic (which I uploaded which is in the firmware sticky) as I am using the Canada firmware, then you can have the latest update of 17.1.2.A.0.314.
I have to add as well that when you flash the newest one you will gain crazy good battery life! I am on Bell Canada, and the newest firmware runs awesome!

Bell and everything is working, not rooted at the moment, though I was before flashing. I have just never unlocked.

As I have recently found out.
The Canada Generic is actually a US Generic. Will probably have to start changing names soon to not confuse anything.
