Can I install E5823 firmware into my E5803? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a new z5 compact E5803 from my carrier here in Mexico, the first thing that I did was to install an unbranded firmware, the Customized US one (32.0.A.6.209/R7B) but found that the fingerprint is disabled.
I want to install a UK version, but I only found it over the E5823 device firmwares, so, can I install it on my E5803 or will I brick my phone?

Thanks, that will help I'm checking it right now.
As another question, do you know if it's safe to just update my phone with a E5823 firmware? Or better play safe and just update the required files?
Thanks!!

Pues segun el tutorial de link si se puede solo reemplazando los archivos mencionados.
Yo tengo el unbranded de turquia si mal no recuerdo y jala bien lo unico es q aparece "LTE" en vez de "4G" ah y no aparece el icono de "nfc" aunque este activado.
Me salta la duda si realizando el tutorial se podria actualizar via ota jejeje
Saludos!

Well according to the tutorial link if you can just replace the aforementioned files.
I have the unbranded of turkey if I remember well and pulls the only thing is q appears "LTE " instead of "4G" ah , not the icon " nfc " although this appears activated .
I doubt if it jumps doing the tutorial can be updated via OTA lol
Greetings!

Hace unas horas hice la actualización de acuerdo al tutorial y funcionó bien, lo único raro es que ya no me sale "TELCEL" arriba; pero todo lo demás funciona sin problema (Aparece 4G también, yo creo que por ser el de UK y sí sale el de NFC).
Y lo de la actualización OTA creo que sí se podría hacer, porque estamos usando el firmware "normal", pero si lo hacemos directo perderíamos el lector de huellas.
Yo también andaba viendo si instalaba la de Turquía, pero prefería la de Estados Unidos (y creo que sí trae unos bug fixes porque siento un poco más fluido el celular).
-----------------------
I followed the procedure a couple of hours ago and it worked fine, the only thing that seems missing is the carrier name on the notification bar, but everything else works as expected (network is shown as 4G, I suppose it's because the ROM is from UK, and NFC is shown as expected).
About the OTA update, I think that we could do it, because we're still on an "original" ROM, but if we do it I guess we'll lose the fingerprint reader.
I thought about installing Turkey ROM, but I preferred USA (I think it has a couple of bug fixes, phone runs a little faster than before, at least to me).

Yo tengo el E5803, y sí noté que casi no hay desarrollo para este cel, vengo del z1 Compact que si bien no era taaaan desarrollado, sí tenía más vida el foro.
Lo que si es que ya estoy esperando a que salga el ROM de MarshMallow, ojalá no se tarden tanto.
--------------
Mine's E5803, and yes, I noticed too that there's almost no development for this phone, my previous one was Z1 Compact and, although there wasn't that much development surely there was more than here.
What I'm waiting for is for the MarshMallow ROM, hoping that its release date is not that far away.
