I have the 32GB Wifi SGP512 and I've flashed several different FTF images onto it since getting it. Unfortunately, I was an idiot and didn't record the customisation number first.I'm currently running the 17.1.2.A.0.314 1281.9080 firmware. On the label on the outside of the box, It says "SI 1281-3019.2" - but when I changed the device to that in the build.prop sony PC Companion refused to search for updates.
Could someone who also has a SGP512 32GB Wifi in the UK that didn't buy it from O2 etc please tell me their customisation number? You can access it by installing ExDialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Then, look for the value of "Customization Version".
Here you are: 1281-8158 / R3A

Ok so I tried updating my australian (3) X10minipro to uk generic. Sony companion tells me it was upto date.
Not a problem I thought, well I must have the uk firmware...
So I went ahead and edited build.prop again to install 2.1. Same problem? Sony companion tells me the phone is upto date.
Thats ok I went and tried to force repair of phone but now im told:
"unable to download your phone software. please check your internet or try again later."

Any help appreciated. Have I done something wrong. I am using the build.prop out of a thread in this forum.
Thanks
Hmm now I'm trying to edit my build.prop to the uk one again. So I can try force restore on that then try the 2.1 firmware again.
rm build.prop
rm failed for build.prop, Read-only file system
Any idea on this too? It's all so frustrating no-one else seems to be having any problems.
The update is not yet available anywhere else than the nordic countries... It will be more widely available in the next weeks... Changing to UK f/w won't help...
That is correct. I am trying to update my australian x10 mini to nordic firmware. This is entirely possible.

Are you a sony ericsson representative?
ok. Got the uk prop file on the phone. i used root explorer to mount the filesystems read write. same original error now.
pc companion download error.
im lost now... what am i doing wrong
I can only tell you that changing to UK prop won't help because 2.1 has (to the best of my knowledge) not been released in the UK yet.
But dont I need uk generic before doing an update to nordic 2.1?
That's true... I'm awaiting as well. I have the UK generic ROM... I thought will be the first one, but most of us were wrong...

You need a nordic generic to update to nordic 2.1.
UK is not a nordic country (serious apologies if that comes across as patronising)

How do you know if you have the UK Generic rom?
I got my mini pro on o2 last week but there is no o2 branding at all on it.
Get into secret menu (on locked screen push: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back) and then in Software Info if you have the customization version: 137-392_R8A, if not, yours isn't unbranded, it's a custom o2 rom.

Hi, I live in middle east but I have an X10i from Sweden brand 3, and as far as I know the update to 2.1 is rolling to this model, but I'm not getting any update notification and when I try to connect my phone to the PC companion It keeps telling me that my phone has the latest firmware.
Does the country where I'm living affect the update process ?

Hi all,
A bit of an odd request I know but I'm have some quirky issues with my z2 being recognised correctly after I used a 511 source to get 4.4.4 on and routed and my tech ocd is kicking in . I've made changes to my build.prop but it's not quite right. Can some kind person upload there build.prop so I can do a comparison.
Here you go
I've attached three. An old SGP511 build.prop with a european firmware. An old SGP512 build.prop that was UK firmware and the new one from my SGP512 that was flashed with an foreign SGP511 firmware and then I edited it to be UK and SGP512.
Please let me know if you find anything else in it I need to change to get it to be more like an SGP512! If I remember, Sony PC companion used to recognise it as an SGP511, but everything else saw it as SGP512...
This app is brilliant for checking region codes and for updates.
Ta muchly, I'll check the app as well
Could not find country/customization on Xperifirm for my Z5C.
1297 is not even a journalist unit or japan market one. Bought this off Amazon US.
Any ideas? Thank you
**Edit: perhaps Storefront/promoter unit, saw 1297 on some other models with that name attached**
Did you read this version on the box or customization version of the service menu? Mine has 1297-9688 on the box, but came with HK 1298-7299 firmware. I used flashtool to change to the Nordic Combined firmware 1298-7782.

Why do I think your numbers is wrong. I see that you missed something out of numbers? Numbers should be eight digit, like XXXX-XXXX for example.
Your numbers maybe is 1293-7740, Saudi Arabia.
The update on Android 6.0.1 with compilation 26.3.B.0.131 is available and should have received it.
Via computer or over your phone check for updates?

Yes ! you are correct that's the correct number.I'am sorry I have made a mistake.
The CDA is correct but the build number is wrong as the Saudi Arabia one ends with R6C where as my no. ends with R6A.
Will it be compatible with mine?
I can send you a screenshot of my service menu if you give me your email address
BTW I'am really grateful to you!
@Thisura, That your current software ends with other initials, does not mean that the new can not be with others initials. This shows the new revision of software so that it is not a problem.
I asked if and how you try to update? Via PC or over the phone. Still no notice of the update is available if you attach your phone to the computer with Pc Companion program?

Hi!,
Before flashing using the Xperifirm, I just did a software repair on the PC Companion and voila! the Marshmallow update was installed on it without the lollipop one!
Again,many thanks for your response and I think the users who haven't received the Marshmallow just try this method i'am sure it will work for you as well!
