I'm not sure but i thought that the yellow tint is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with software whatsoever.
PS: i'm from Belgium too, installed the CH version and no problems here.

Yes but if I want to bring it in for warranty I need the official version or not?

I don't think someone will ever notice that you didn't install the official over the air update you were supposed to get.
And also, it's not like you unlocked the phone and installed a custom rom. It's still an official Sony rom.
I don't see any obvious reason why a repair center would check your firmware version. After all it's a known issue and the solution to the problem is there.
And no, i don't have a backup image or so of my stock firmware.
There was a post here on xda with all GB tft files and there was a Belgium one.
Just search for that post, I can't seem to find it anymore tho

I don't think the shop where i bought it (Phonehouse) will bother it but maybe when it comes to Sony they will see it and won't replace it?

I returned my phone last week (also in Belgium) and to be sure I re-flashed my phone to stock.

I'm quite sure they won't bother
I think of it like this, your phone arrives at the repair center. The person who has to repair it reads what is wrong with it. He then says: "Ah, i see, the yellow tint issue. Time to get to work, but not without checking the software version first".
It's a very unlikely scenario if you ask me. He's just going to fix the screen, check if it still works completely and maybe do some additional tests in the service menu or so.
But you could indeed just do what Hitmax117 mentioned, just to be sure.

Thanks dude, but, I'm looking for the "ST25A" firmware, and the one that you shared with me is for ST25i, I want to flash including the baseband, for that reason I'm looking the ST25A version, I can't find it anywhere :S

You can flash via flashtool the one posted before excluding baseband.

Why do you need GB to sell it? It won't make a huge difference and the buyer is probably gonna end up upgrading it anyway
Anyway, here's the link for ICS in case it's useful for someone https://www.dropbox.com/s/7jfez2tekoajpuz/ST25a_6.1.1.B.1.10_None.ftf
Is imposible to find wit, there are some but all have bloatware of the carriers.
If you need it PM me
The ics baseband should still work on GB

[Q] Downgrading from .167

Hi , i wasnt so satisfied with my new update , little lags and mode reasons
So i was wondering if i can downgrade to the older build? Please help
You can use flashtool to flash a FTF
(there is a Thread at the top of the general section whwre you can find all avaliable FTFs for Z2)
(flashtool from > flashtool.net)
Hint~ holding volume down is flashmode, volume up is fastboot
if you need anything just reply, i assume your competent enough to figure out the simple parts

Gee thanks dude ! I owe you one
just one question though ... how can I know what was my previous version to flash ? or it doesn't matter ? I just choose which one I want ?
If it does matter ... how can I know what to choose and if it doesn't then what should I choose ?
PS : I am already familiar with all the XDA stuff , (rooting unlocking boot loaders , "customizing" and all that).. but I am new on Sony products I don't want to break any thing haHA

Bigger the total number the newer the firmware is
I recomend the one that ends in 314
(dont remember entire build number)
(its the only one that ends in 314 i do believe)

No I know how to find my current build , I am just wondering , there are different versions of the same version , for example : there are 12 regions or more that have one version , which region should I use as my region doesnt show in the list ... I am from Israel and I dont see any Israel word in the list XD
so I can choose careless of my region ? like if I choose 314 UK will it work properly ? or how does that work exactly ?
If you've never flashed a different region or firmware, then type the following in your dialer:
*#*#SERVICE#*#*
Then select service info, then software info.
That should tell you what customization number and region you currently have. Then go to the link posted above, and find that same region firmware but for 314

I know that the Xperia z2 charging is pretty slow as hell , but it takes like 4 minutes to charge each % is that slow in all devices ? or is it just mines ?

I dont actualy know, it takes a total of 5 hours to charge mine from <%10 to about 100%
Mine charges very slow 2-4 hours should be total for normal Z2

Interesting question my friend
But I dont think its possible , because by downgrading you be using Flashtool and it does wipe every thing (not including photos and other personal stuff if youre backed up with an SD card in your phone ...) but to be honest I dont know any other way that doesnt wipe any thing if you find out let me know
PS : I did downgrade , and it did wipe the whole phone storage
