According to this page: http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx, there will be three different versions of the official Android 2.1 update.
The new Build number after the update will be 2.73.405.93 (EU); 2.73.405.94 (Nordic) & 2.73.405.95 (Greece/ Ireland).

I'm assuming each version will just have different languages but... why would Ireland not be part of the usual EU update? People here in Ireland speak English, so you'd expect the software to be the same as used by the UK. (I very much doubt HTC have translated Android into Irish!)
Are there regional technical differences? Can anyone think of any reasons why Ireland would share a ROM with Greece?
Bump?
Anyone have any ideas about this?
No idea why, but I tried it in the UK and ended up with the .95 version! I had been on the rooted 2.73.405.66, set my date forward and got the update. But it didn't seem to offer much at the moment, so I went back to my old rooted .66!

Hello all,
I wonder something and I wanted to ask you for better understanding. So here is my question. If my phone has the CDA number of Central Europe and I change it to lets say Nordic Countries ROM. Does this mean from now on all the updates that will rollout in Nordic Countries will be valid for me? As a summary is this how Sony rollout the updates in different regions?
I know Nordic Countries have already updated their phone to Lollipop. Lets say I change my phones ROM from Central Europe to Nordic Countries KitKat version. Does this mean when I check for updates of Lollipop will I be able to see on OTA?
Thanks

No problem mate...will wait.......hopefully it comes out this week
Xperfir, is showing 242 for 6 markets, all 6833 (Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, UAE, Thaliand, France and Mena Latin)
post screenshots..
For those are with 6833, i have already install the update, is the 5.0.2, only "issues" i have found:
- No XLOUD on Walkman APP, but have the EQ and Clear Audio etc...
- Camera quality is worst than on 4.4.4, more granulated, if you take a picture and zoom it, is worst than ever, even worst than in my Xperia SP!!!!
- My phone is heat more than in 4.4.4, in 4.4.4 i have ~24/25º, now on 5.0.2 have 27.5/28º (nothing special i know, but it feels in hand more than before.)
Until now is only that i can see is the problems, XLOUD is not a problem, i can live without XLOUD...but Camera is something i can belive the update fck'd up!!
how is possible the camera is worst on 5.0.2??can u post some comparisons?
Just got done updating my C6806 and everything is working perfectly. I am able to use my LTE from T-Mobile as well as send and receive picture messages. Sony's Lollipop feels very smooth. I have not encountered any bugs yet.
So for the people asking if its safe to update outside of your region, the answer is yes and it works extremely well.
Trying to download with xperifirm, but every time it stops at about 15% and i can't resume, only start from 0... so... that sucks, yeah

Root?
Gents,
Are we able to root this FW via Towelroot or other current one-root process?
Nordic handset here, rooted, Titanium. All good! :good:
My Xperia Z2 (D6503) is Germany telekom branded.
I'm about to debrand it and get Lollipop update.
Is it fine to flash a generic firmware from different country?

I'm from Norway, and running prerooted baltic lollipop version. Works fine for me.
I know it works fine with unbranded phones, I have flashed HongKong and Baltic on my phone many times without any troubles. I'm unfamilliar with branded phones tho :/
Hello!
I am a bit lost with FW versions for XZ1...
I bought US unlocked G8342 version from Amazon and it came with 47.1.A.2.273 - which, aster some searching around, seems to be quite old...
I got xperiafirm and I see that it is listing 47.1.A.8.49 / R5B as current USA custom firmware - anyone can explain why my phone (and Sony companion) think that I have the latest when Sony servers have newer version?
I like having more recent FW on my devices - should I get Central European version (which is even newer - 7.1.A.12.34 / R6B) - will Sony provide OTA upgrades for me here in US?
Will I lose anything with CE1 FW, like any US-specific GSM/LTE bands?
Or should I get current US version via xperiafirm and hope that Sony will keep it updated going forward?
(I know, that I'll get fingerprint sensor with CE1 FW, but this is not that important for me).
Appreciate any insight!
