Market: Nordic Combined
Operator: Customized NCB
Network: GLOBAL-LTE

So I ended up ordering my Z3 Tablet Compact from a Japanese retailer and when I check for updates using Sony's Xperia "Update Center" it still links to the co.jp website. Is there anyway I could change the region so that when I do my Lollipop Update I could fully switch over to US default for everything?
I'm using the 16GB Wifi model SGP611 currently on Build Number: 23.0.1.A.0.167
yes, Flash a FTF file for the region you want. You could flash a US FTF now and wait for the US lollipop release, or you could flash the noba lollipop now.
Hi Guys!

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

Gents,
Are we able to root this FW via Towelroot or other current one-root process?
Nordic handset here, rooted, Titanium. All good! :good:
hi folks
I have a Z2 d6502 model and its not rooted and the bootloader is still locked
Im on 5.1.1 stock firmware 23.4.A.1.232 middle east version
Can I flash a USA region 23.4.A.0.546 / R6C firmware via flashtools ?
I downloaded it via XperiFirm and here are the info it gave me about the firmware :
-------
Device: Xperia Z2 (D6502)
CDA: 1281-9706
Market: USA
Operator: Customized US
Network: GLOBAL-HSPA
Release: 23.4.A.0.546 / R6C
Size: 1.39 GB
-------
since Im in middle east, will there be any problems ?
It says operator is customized of the US, so Does that mean that I cant use my sim card and make calls once I flash this ?
You can install that firmware freely.No matter if he was for US,your phone will work normal.
It will work I did the same thing before
It'll work fine.
If you decide to use, you do so at your own risk. I am only telling of my experience.
Model: Sony Xperia XA Ultra (F3213)
Firmware version: 36.1.A.0.179_R2B
Region: Latin America (Generic) [1302-9695]
Android version: 7.0
( I believe the US version that was pulled is 36.1.A.0.179_R1B but I am not totally sure of that)
They have Firmware of other variants but the one I listed is for the F3213. I installed an hour ago using Flashtool. Worked Fine but I did have to put the APN for it to connect to TMobile and reinstall my apps. Only thing that stinks is that I can't use any of my progies that require root. But I can live with it. Now lets see if it lives up to all the hype!!
Hi!, I have difficutly in the docomo z2 tab firmware I feel not really comfortable with the bloatware, and docomo stuffs. Should I stay in 4.4 or upgrade to 5.0 or maybe change to global version?
the bloatware from Sony are present in all firmwares, the only difference is that in EU/US versions it's only Sony stuff, in japanese it's also operators apps. All Sony Xperia devices for Japan made specifically with locked bootloader, so you can't use custom clean firmware here, maybe it's possible to delete apps but you need to get root, which is possible with some work even on locked bootloader. But i prefer to just disable maximum as possible, i don't need to use devices for super sensitive information yet, so for now i tolerate presense of some bloatware.
Considering updating, japanese Sony devices can be easily updated to latest global versions (local japanese firmwares sometimes behind global for many Sony devices, in Xperia Z2 tablet the last version for Japan is only Lollipop, but the global is Marshmallow many years already).
You can easily update to Marshmallow official firmware by Flashtool from any country version (except few - like Verizon USA are not flashing), but there's some things which you loose if flashing EU Marshmallow version:
1. NFC - in japanese Sony devices it's different chip or something than in european version.
2. Tethering - global versions of this Z2 tablet with 32Gb is only Wi-fi models - you can flash them easily but there's no tethering at all (because Wi-fi models with no SIM slot), there's no even bluetooth internet sharing, this function are removed from Wi-fi only firmwares.
3. 32Gb - as mentioned above - only Wi-fi models with 32Gb, others are only 16Gb, you are loosing serious amount of space - i tested that and really regretted after month using esp. with big video files like movies and etc., 16Gb is very small for normal use.
So, there's a way to get above this problems but you need to flash your device with flashtool 2 times with different firmwares.
1. To get Marshmallow with 32Gb and NFC - flash fully the latest firmware for SGP512 (USA version) - it's 32Gb and NFC works, but because it's Wi-fi model - to preserve storage size and receive Tethering and SIM card functions do step 2. Install it, activate as usual welcome screen. Turn off and ready to flash again.
2. Take any global firmware for SGP521 and flash it with ONLY such parts – system, kernel and cache (apps_logs and userdata - choose wipe), if it asks for FSC - choose NO. Do not choose other parts.
So in result you will get a combined SGP521 firmware - with NFC, 32Gb, SIM, so like fully working Marshmallow on japanese Xperia. This solution do not require any hacking, it's very easy.
This solution works for all other firmwares, for example if you want to obtain 5.1.1 Lollipop the only available version left is for Ireland (i forgot the number, will write later), there's nowhere else this verison, japanese are only 5.0, but to have a working NFC and 32Gb - you need to flash japanese 5.0 and flash again EU 5.1.1 (only system and kernel again) = you will get fully working 5.1.1 which is rarest on this device.
In addition to my reply:
the original Kitkat 4.4.2 17.1.1.C.1.45 can be upgraded by system & kernel of SGP521 model O2 IE 23.0.1.A.0.167 to Kitkat 4.4.4 (rare on this device)
the original japanese 23.1.G.2.151 Lollipop 5.0.2 by system and kernel of SGP521 model VMo LAM 23.4.A.1.232 to Lollipop 5.1.1 (rare on this device)
the SGP512 VMo US/CA/PR (Wi-fi 32 Gb) 23.5.A.1.291 with system and kernel SGP521 model Customized CE1 23.5.A.1.291 to sim/tethering functionality
excluding all parts of firmware except system and kernel, bootloader kept locked

As i know the last one official Android on locked Japanese Z2 tablets is only Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's the only way to update it to version 6, i used Windows 7 and much older flashtool like 0.9.20 - 0.9.23, the most last one version is something changed there it's crushing/not working, old one very stable.
Getting Nougat there (which will bring better battery and multitasking) on locked bootloader which Sony never unlock in Japan - only possible if someone repack old Nougat Developer Preview made for Xperia z3 smartphone i think (which is very good and stable on smartphone). I want to try that but for now stuck with hackintosh of tuning-up Mojave MacOS on my Toshiba Dynabook.
