[Q] Desperate need of stock firmware for SGP512 32GB Wifi - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, new to the forums and had to register because I require stock firmware for my tablet as I want to sell it..
So I have SGP511 firmware cause I installed one after rooting it (or trying to) and I noticed when formatting it the regions I get asked to select aren't what came up when I originally got the device, so i.e Austria, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland I believe. I'd like it to say United Kingdom and what ever else was there before.
I can't for the life of me find the correct FTF for this, any help please?
I don't know if there was a SGP512 in the first place, but if it can say that I guess that would be a bonus.
Maybe I'm searching for the wrong things.
Thanks in advance.

Still need this

Use XperiFirm to download.
FlashTool to create the FTF yourself.

[Q] Branding region

This is a question about the region of branding updates.
Can somebody tell me the difference between VMo EU1, - EU2, - EU3 and - EU4?
Thanx

the main difference is in preinstalled bloatware.

Thanx,
I flashed EU1 first, than EU4 (because i though that was the right one).
But they're just the same to me.
Same bloatware as far as I can see.
(I'am from the Netherlands-and there was no NL update in flashtool)
After downloading both, i could see small differences inside.
Hi guys,
I am new here, trying to find out what would be the most suitable firmware for my SGP321. Can you please advise how to check it and where from I can download it?
I am from Poland and I want to get rid of any external apps from my fw.
Thanx!

You can identify your tablet's current firmware's region, branding, customization, and version by reading its \system\build.prop file. You can find the latest released firmware version listed in Apollo89's thread HERE.
Thanks for explanation.
I also noticed that Flashtool contains all firmware versions and supports download if necessary.

[Q] Which firmware I can use Nordic or Baltic for Canada?

Which firmware (Baltic or Nordic) I can install on my Generic Z2 bought from Sony Canada Directly?
Thanks
any generic firmware can be used on your device
I've read that as well. My question is why does Sony release numerous generic unbranded ftf files? What's the difference between Nordic generic unbranded ftf and say North American generic unbranded? And if there's no difference, why not just release one single universal generic unbranded ftf? Mind you I don't think North American ftf is rolled out yet.

ril and wifi/mobile data firmwarw is addapted for each region
(not to mind bloatware too)
Ahh. I wonder if that's what was causing me wifi and Data drops with 4.4.4. I was using North American unbranded (I'm in Canada) but I never did try any other unbranded regions.

It shouldn't effect WiFi cause it is same around the world. I was more concerned about LTE radio . I bought the phone directly from Sony so there minimum bloatware, weren't anything except the Sony apps and vine which I removed.
I installed the Nordic version everything seems good so far. Followed the following article

That's good to know at least.. What's the difference between that method and just downloading the ftf and flashing that though?

Nothing I think you are skipping the first two steps
1) Downloading the files from Sony servers
2) Creating the ftf file from that
This gives you choice downloading files for any region

[Q] Update using XperiFirm

Hi, I tried this question earlier, maybe in the wrong forum.
I have the 32GB version of this device which isn't available here in Australia. I bought it from Japan on Ebay. Everything was OK, just a couple of Japan language default sites.
I'm thinking that I won't get an OTA update to Lollipop here, so if I update using a firmware from XperiFirm, does it matter which country I chose for the firmware? And what is a 'customised' rom?
I'm thinking either the US or UK version.
Any ideas, or other options. I'm a complete newb at this sort of thing, so something easy to follow please.
Thanks, Trevor
