Hi
My fingerprint sensor is working pretty charm and my customization version is 1298-7260_R6C.
I flashed Autralian Customized Firmware ( 6.0.1 ) and the phone started working pretty decently.
If you want the same firmware and want to know the steps for flashing it feel free to contact me
My email : [email protected]
Thank You !
Thank you. I know how to flash, that's what I'm doing right now. I'm trying to sell the phone and buy an international version so I wanted to know the stock firmware on an untouched E5803. Do you happen to know what it was?
Was your fingerprint sensor working before you flashed to the Australian software?

No, My fingerprint scanner hasn't worked before. This is a common problem for US phones. By default the fingerprint scanner is disabled but if we flash a international firmware or any other it starts to work. You can flash Australian firmware to make it work. As it is a official firmware you don't need to unlock bootloader.
If you want to flash Australian CU then you will get it from XperiaFirm from Flashtool.
If you have not upgraded your Lollipop then download Lollipop customized firmware from XperiaFirm and flash it to experience stock firmware on untouched E5803
Thank You !
Flashed E5803_Customized GEL_1299-2789_32.2.A.0.224_R7C and everything seems to work fine. Unlocked, rooted, and emulated my original TA partition and everything seems perfect.
Good morning,
I tried to downgrade to Android Lollipop from Marshmallow running Baseband DPL3 and Build DQA7. I used the normal firmware, but also the 4 part one, both did not bring any success.
Do you know if the downgrade is possible with my software version?
Thanks a lot!

how you downgraded is your fingerprint sensor working if everything is ok then tell me which firmware you used????
I'm sorry the fingerprint scanner doesnt work. I used an Engineering Bootloader and flashed the S6 edge 5.1.1 firmware right after that without modem, cm and sboot.bin... fingerprint scanner is a part of cm.bin. I couldnt downgrade that so it's avaiable but not working
So I'm about to purchase the Xperia X and I live in the US. Is it better for me to buy the US version with a warranty and flash the firmware to enable the fingerprint sensor to work or should I buy the international version and if I did will it work okay in the US? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
if you bought US version. Just flash stock rom of other region. UK/europe/ MENA etc, and finger sensor will work. its more of software thing then hardware.
you can download other ftf (stockroms) using xperifirm under FLASHTOOL (www.flashtool.net)
Just flash european version of a firmware and you are good to go. I don't understand Sony's decision on this subject. Everyone has it available, but not USA.
You can flash the other regions firmware and BOOM! you have your fingerprint sensor activated.
The better thing you might not know is your device is still available for the official OTA, of that region. Just make sure you don't flash the 1 sim firmware for the 2 sims and vice versa..

I'm in the US and bought an imported ZX1 Compact with the fingerprint sensor enabled off of eBay, running Android 8.0.0. I'm getting notifications about an OTA system update from Sony; if I allow it will it disable the fingerprint sensor, or is that at a lower level than the OS?

If you've already flashed another firmware region that had the finger-print enabled, everything OTA update you're going to receive will be specified for that region devices and you will not lose finger-print function. Don't worry.
In a nutshell, just think that after flashing EU firmware (for example), you're owning the EU Xperia device, not US anymore!

i never tested that because USA firmware are for F5121 only and i have F5122,
but what you are saying make sense. if software updated only looks for the current version/build/region running on device irrespective of #imei & serial etc before pushing UPDATE then YES device once had USA firmware when left Sony Factory and Flashed EU firmware should get EU based OTA only ....
Please do let us know what happens
My question was about an imported G8441 that already had the fingerprint activated, I was worried that doing an OTA update in the US might overwrite it. However, based on robocopvn's comments above I went ahead and allowed the update (and one that came immediately after it) and everything is all good.

I actually clearly answer your question.
it's about the firmware you're running on your Xperia, not about the actually location you stay on earth when you hit the update button, thank you!
My phone variant is X829. It was shipped with 16s firmware which was pretty old. Now I'm on 466D_V.00050, dated to 08 Nov. 2016.
After firmware upgrading I noticed fingerprint sensor working much better than before and LTE+ indicator (which means LTE-A I guess).
Please recommend newest baseband avaliable (download links are welcome), suitable for users from central Europe, and also tell me what is difference between various firmware variants (us, ru, cn)? Thanks.
Heyyo, the modem firmware with the newest time stamp is indeed developer 466D. CN 28s shares the same one as 26s and I think 23s too.
Latest modem firmware, pls

But it might be t-mobile rom. I flashed one of open china oreo roms (and it was awesome except chinese stuff) and when i was downgrading i chose the lastest 7.0.
When i flashed the firmware, i realized that it was a t-mobile rom and had t-mobile's settings section (i couldn't even get signal).
Can someone confirm that this is not a t-mobile rom?
No its not tmobile i have updated via software upadte ota. It works fine. No signal problem.C7000ZHU3CRI5
