Hi all, I've recently got the Z4 tablet and really like it (upgraded from Z2 tablet). The only thing is, I hate seeing the O2 splashscreen when turning it on. Is there an unbranded ftf for the UK?. I'm not bothered about unlocking it as I have an O2 SIM with data package.
If there is one then could somebody post me a download link that doesn't require me to purchase a premium account to download it.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.

Hi all,
I have a motorola atrix (carrier unlocked) bought from Amazon in the UK...
The system version is 4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Firmware 2.2.2
My question is that i want to update to Gingerbread but an over the air update isnt available. It doesnt work using the update application on my PC either...
I have done some searching and found this related page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&highlight=gingerbread+uk
Is there anything that im missing before i follow the instructions on that post? bootloader? do i need to root the phone first etc?
It seems that is what i want, but is there someone who was in the same boat as me that wants to share what they did?
Thanks in advance guys and girls

Hi there! I really hope someone could help me
with my problem. Well first of, I'm an entire noob with
Androids as I have been a Nokia loyalist
(sucks to be me). I have a factory unlocked S3 GT-i9300
bought from China and was sent to me
here in the Philippines. I have tried
upgrading it to JB 4.1.1 via OTA and Kies
but I've had encountered roadblocks for
the longest time. That's when a friend of mine suggested to use Odin but the
mofo didn't tell me that there were
other stuff that I need to consider (all
the Phone, PDA and CSC stuff posted in
the first post of this thread). So I
downloaded from www.samfirmware.com an official JB 4.1.1 ROM for Globe Telecoms
Philippines since that's the network that
I'm using and flashed it on my S3 via
Odin. Everything went well except for
the part where I'm being asked for a
network unlock code! WAAAAH! My phone is now locked and I don't
even where it's locked to. Is there a way for me to unlock it again
without having to pay those unlock
code generators? PLEASE HELP!!! TIA!

this thread is for android development. ROM's/ Kernel/ system... Members go to the Q&A section to specifically help others.. So next time go to the question and answer thread... you'll get more help... :good:
If you Ultra is branded or locked to a carrier then you wont be able to update using flashtool. (unless its specifically for your carrier based unit)
You will have to wait for your carrier to push the update directly to its customers.
I also live in the Netherlands. My ultra is not carrier based. At the moment using Vodafone in the past Telfort. But i also didn't received the update yet. I assume countrys like the Netherlands and Belgium are on the bottom of the list.
I never saw anybody else with an ultra overhere, and getting out of the reactions when i'm using the device otber people also saw this phone before
Making the phone carrier free isn't that big of a deal, i think. When lurking the forums at xda you'll find a method i assume. You can looking in the general android part of the forum (interesting stuff overthere), the sony xperia Z and Z1 forums can also be beneficial.
Hi,
I recently bought a Z Ultra off ebay and when I received it realised that it was the XL39H Chinese version. It doesn't have gapps and most features only work in Chinese.
I'm wondering whether I can just flash another country's C6802 firmware onto it, or is this not possible due to the different model numbers? Are there any hardware differences between XL39H and C6802?
Someone said on another post that XL39H is just a sticker on the box and the phone itself still says C6802, but in my case it says XL39H in About Phone and on the device itself...
Thanks for your help!!
at the moment I would say you are good to flash either c6802 or c6833 firmware to the phone. Flashinf c6833 wont harm the phone but it will call itself c6833 and will have a LTE option (that will do nothing)
What version of the firmware is it on? if it is on .290 then follow my downgrade guide to get it to .532 if you want to root it. Then follow LordManhatton's guide for rooting, backing up the TA and unlocking the bootloader. Then get ready to flash away (fully charged of cause)
Thank you! I flashed a Hong Kong C6802 rom and it worked.
Xl39h->c6833
Hi, I flashed a native XL39H (chinese version) with a C6833 latest version using Emma (it asked me to choose the phone model and I put C6833), and I have noted that the sim card does not register when switching on, and the IMEI is disappeared in settings (unknown when doing *#06#)... what to do in order to recover sim functionality ? The IMEI appears if I connect to Emma and now it is like a C6833 but I don't know really what to do for resolve the problem. Let me know your help. I don't see now the popup to choose the phone model so in Emma only the C6833 firmware is shown. I would like the phone working as usual....even without 4G...

xl39h is c6802
try these ...might lead you in the right direction (maybe flashtool instead of Emma? I had to since I have a C6806)
EDIT
the links are old for the C6802 roms and do not work any more...but somehow maybe you will need to find this
Sony Xperia Z Ultra/XL39h/C6802_14.1.B.0. 471 (International Edition)
