Hi everyone I have some doubts I hope you can clear for me.
This Monday I buyed an awesome Z2 with my local carrier (TIM-Telecom Italia Mobile) for 15 eur per month
Today I saw on Sony's website that the latest update right now is 17.1.2.A.0.314 and had already solved the camera overheating problems on FW 17.1.1.A.402 which is my main complain about the phone.
I hate to be outdated having I high end phone
So I'm thinking about debrand the phone but I'm afraid I could avoid warranty if so.
I saw this tutorial:
xperiablog.net/2014/06/01/debrand-your-xperia-z2-tutorial
Is it safe? It doesn't matter if I use that UK rom on my italian phone? Can't I use another generic rom to do the process (i.e an italian one)? I can return to the stock TIM rom if anything happens and they will accept it for warranty?
Sorry if these are such newbie questions but I just buyed the phone it's awesome and I don't wanna lose it
Thanks ^^

if your device is a Xperia Z2 LTE (D6503) then all for a Z2 (D6503) will work without problem on YOUR Z2 (D6503), unless you have a Z2 D6502 then look for D6502 files
take note that your xperia Z2 warrenty from sony will be voided if you unlock your bootloader or root your device

Hi guys , a little question:
after two months of use My Xperia s has now the yellow tint. I have not rooted My phone bug i have flashed the phone with flashtools with another os since i'm italian and the phone is french.
can i take it to the assistance or i have TO flash it with the original os?
thank you vero much
Its a phone problem, not software. Sony have acknowledged it and said they are replacing the faulty fones for free
Yes i was warried about the warranty, it is still valid even if i flashed My phone??
Thanks anyway!!!
Hi,
I recently bought a Z Ultra off ebay and when I received it realised that it was the XL39H Chinese version. It doesn't have gapps and most features only work in Chinese.
I'm wondering whether I can just flash another country's C6802 firmware onto it, or is this not possible due to the different model numbers? Are there any hardware differences between XL39H and C6802?
Someone said on another post that XL39H is just a sticker on the box and the phone itself still says C6802, but in my case it says XL39H in About Phone and on the device itself...
Thanks for your help!!
at the moment I would say you are good to flash either c6802 or c6833 firmware to the phone. Flashinf c6833 wont harm the phone but it will call itself c6833 and will have a LTE option (that will do nothing)
What version of the firmware is it on? if it is on .290 then follow my downgrade guide to get it to .532 if you want to root it. Then follow LordManhatton's guide for rooting, backing up the TA and unlocking the bootloader. Then get ready to flash away (fully charged of cause)
Thank you! I flashed a Hong Kong C6802 rom and it worked.
Xl39h->c6833
Hi, I flashed a native XL39H (chinese version) with a C6833 latest version using Emma (it asked me to choose the phone model and I put C6833), and I have noted that the sim card does not register when switching on, and the IMEI is disappeared in settings (unknown when doing *#06#)... what to do in order to recover sim functionality ? The IMEI appears if I connect to Emma and now it is like a C6833 but I don't know really what to do for resolve the problem. Let me know your help. I don't see now the popup to choose the phone model so in Emma only the C6833 firmware is shown. I would like the phone working as usual....even without 4G...

xl39h is c6802
try these ...might lead you in the right direction (maybe flashtool instead of Emma? I had to since I have a C6806)
EDIT
the links are old for the C6802 roms and do not work any more...but somehow maybe you will need to find this
Sony Xperia Z Ultra/XL39h/C6802_14.1.B.0. 471 (International Edition)

Thanks for the great information. i did follow and successfully flashed it with C6833_14.6.A.1.236_SA.ftf. my problem is the customer, who wants it "calling and texting like it previously was, when on the old chineese rom"! i am in shirt because I've no clue on how to bring back the baseband.
So I have bought a sony xperia z2 from an online shop here in Romania and after I started to use it during some calls the phone just reboots itself .
The firmware build on it was ending with .55 . I flashed a .69 Taiwan version on it and had the same problem.
I returned the phone and bought a similar z2 from Orange Romania . The the firmware build on this one is .69 personalized for Orange Romania and I still have the same problem , the phone reboots during some calls.
I couldn't find other people with the same issue and that seems strange since the 2 phones are totally different batch.
Can anyone give some clues on this isuee?
Thank you
I just got the phone few days ago and it has happened to me couple times. It also has very bad call quality. Everyone I talk to have a hard time hearing me.
my xperia z2 have exactly the same issues.
Some times reboot on calls and also but microphone.

Try this
1. Factory reset > if problem remains then do this;
2. Repair Firmware via PC Companion. > If problem remains do this;
3. Flash another stock firmware by Flash tool
after all u can ask for warranty service
However if u like custom roms u can unlock phone and flash this mod;
Sound Boost

Good luck

Hello,
I bought the Z2 as an unlocked phone and I use it on a carrier that doesn't sell or acknowledge the sony phones. (I Live in Canada, the only carrier that stocks sony is Bell and I use Koodo)
Now my question is,
Will I be able to update my Z2 to 4.4.4 through the software updater on my phone or do I have to do it manually by downloading and putting it on my phone. (Don't know how to do that so I prefer not to have to).
Thank-You for the help.
hello,
i just bought a xperia z2, and since saturday i have a problem with my camera: it just shows a black screen and it lags alot when trying to change its options. I;ve searched a bit on the internet but i didn't found the cause of this problem or the solution. can it be fixed? it is an andoird version bug? thank you
Repair your device via sony PC companion
If your phone continue to act faulty you may have a defective peiece and i recomend you replace it
That's exactly what has happened to mine, Sony Repair Center not interested, sorry £360 new phone. Let me know how you get on please.
about repair via seus: my phone was orange branded and some kind of orange android version. So i flashed the general ftf file for my country. If i repair it via seus maybe it will bring the old nasty orange android version ... And by the way am i eligible of receiving OTA updates if i flashed other android version? @JOHNNYMED9: what do you mean by sony repair center not interested? This problem cannot be solved by warranty? Anyway i do not intend to send it because maybe they will reinstall the android version and that is somenthing i can do by myself

Try fresh install using the flashtool. Choose your own customization ftf and flash it. It works for me. Yea i got some lag the day i bought it, but now problem solved.
