I've got a Z5 Compact (E5803). My AT&T SIM works perfectly fine with it. I tried the E5823 Customized UK firmware (1298-5497 - 32.2.A.0.305_R13C) and the fingerprint works but the AT&T SIM does not. If the phone is on and I insert or eject the SIM it registers and reboots the phone. But otherwise it does not see the SIM. It keeps saying insert SIM.
I could try firmware after firmware but I thought it might be faster to ask here. I just want to use it with my AT&T SIM and have fingerprint working.
Maybe one of the other E5803 firmwares? I'm gonna trying Customized GEL until I hear from others..

why would you use a firmware that is for E5823 and put it on E5803?

For fingerprint? I had asked on another post and someone said I could since the hardware for the two is the same. I'm using the Australian firmware for the E5823 and it seems to be working...

i dont get it ... they both come with fingerprint scanner button , why would you install another firmware to use it, makes no sense? am I missing some thing?

Yes, due to legal issues Sony intentionally disabled the fingerprint scanner in the USA firmware version. The fingerprint scanner is physically there though so if you flash another FW it may work. However I am currently having difficulty getting my SIM card to be recognized when I flash to the newest UK version of the E8523

I am getting a E5803, and I live in Australia. Can I easily use Xperifirm and flash the Customized AU on the E5803? I really want the AU baseband/modem.

I also have a US version of the phone (E5803) and also wanted to enable the fingerprint scanner. When I loaded the latest UK version (which is E5823), my SIM (Canadian) was not detected. Bluetooth would also continuously toggle off and on. I'd never tried loading firmware from the other model before, so I just assumed E5803 and E5823 couldn't be mixed. If the AU version works for you, I guess the limitation isn't necessarily the phone model.
Previously I was running Android 6 from the Customized SG (Singapore), and now Android 7 from Customized MY (Malaysia), and both seem to work fine.
The AU version ended up working for me and I haven't looked back since
my e5803 fingerprint scanner works perfect on 7
I have a similar question: just got a Z5c E8523 but using it in the US with AT&T - which firmware should I be using? Customized UK, Customized AUS? Do I still need to flash the MODEM and BASEBAND portions from a US firmware?
Thanks!
If your model number is E5823, the fingerprint sensor should work without any modification. If it is E5803, you'll have to compile or flash a E5823 with any firmware except US. In my personal experience, the AU firmware typically receives firmware updates the fastest.

Okay, so I can't get it to work. I spent all morning trying to get Flashtool to work.
I am trying to flash E5823_32.2.A.5.11_Australia_Generic on my E5803. Each time I get a ERROR - Can't read a byte value.
I initially tried the latest version of Flashtool 0.9.23.2. Then I tried 0.9.18.6 where bricked the device. I then tried 0.9.22.2. Still no luck. I had to re-flash the Customized US version that came with the phone (E5803_32.2.A.5.11_1298-3109).
Should I try flashing the Customized UK version first then try the AU version? Very annoying tbh
Wow, got there in the end (only took me half the day).
After the successful flash of E5803_32.2.A.5.11_1298-3109 after bricking the phone, I tried to flash Customized AU 32.3.A.0.376 / R2D . That one also bricked the phone due to the old version of Flashtool I was using (0.9.22.2). I then tried to flash E5823_32.2.A.5.11_Australia_Generic which now worked.
The main reason I wanted the AU version was for the Baseband... Turns out it was the same lol
you should be able to keep the same modem settings, and the phone should be able to switch configurations when it detects the appropriate bands... provided your carrier is operating at those frequencies.

Don't you have to do something like make the phone think it's a E5823 in build prop first?
Hi there, I recently bought an Z5C (E5803) that was on android 6.1 marshmallow and was Customized Movistar EC, wich is one of my country´s carrier, so 7.0 OTA is long long wait to come.
Long story sort, I used Xperifirm and got 32.3.A.0.376 Customized US for the E5803, flashed and the fingerprint sensor was gone. So I read a little and find out that in US there is no Fingerprint suport for del Z5C.
Then I flashed 32.3.A.0.376 Customized GEL for E5803 and bingo!! Fingerprint sensor worked again.
I don´t think you have to change the firmware for another model for the fingerprint sensor to work.
Hope this help.
Hey, so I've been using Xiaomi phones for quite a while, and I've gone through notes, Poco, the 9T pro, now up to the Mi10. I've only ever installed minor mods and such, never needed to flash ROMs before. I just set up my Mi10 today and it says no updates are available, staying on Android 10 and MiUI 11, even though it should have at least access to a beta MiUI12. Tried different regions, nothing.
I looked around and saw some ROMs for MiUI 12 for DL, there are ROMs for the Ultra and Pro, but not the basic. Thing is, the Pro and the regular are almost identical devices, save for I guess the camera sensors. So, I have a few questions.
Would the Mi10 pro ROM work for the regular Mi10 5G?
If not, is there a link I missed here for a MiUI 12 ROM for the regular one?
Can I really install a ROM through the phone itself, manually, and if not, is there a guide on here that I have also missed?
Soon
Check weekly builds on xiaomi eu website
Probably your device is branded. I have mi 10 EEA with android 11 and miui 12 v. 12.2.4

How do you mean? It's imported from the Netherlands and not locked to any carrier or anything, as far as I can tell. Hmm.

As you see, VF is Vodafone branded firmware, so it is very slow in updating. You should change fw: unlock bootloader, use mi flash for flashing EEA fw. You can relock using that fw, not others

Hi,
I had the same questions when i received my Mi10 last week (France) it was locked on mi11 and no update proposed
Now, before unlocking the bootloader, i could manually update with no problem to miui 12.0.6 European stable version through manual update (setting - > updates - > menu > select update package
The recovery update package can be found easily on Google.

Do I need to use Mi Unlock to unlock the bootloader, because I've never done that before?
And do you mean this one? Mi 10 EEA Firmware V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Update | Xiaomi Firmware Updater
If these are stupid questions, sorry, I genuinely don't know how it works.

You mean the V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Europe recovery ROM from here Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices (xda-developers.com) ?
Because when I tried to install it with choose update package, it said something about couldn't verify carrier or something like that.
Haven't tried it in recovery mode after restart, but I was worried if that might have a bad effect on the device. I have not unlocked bootloader myself, never done it before.

No problem bro. Yes, you have to unlock bootloader with mi unlock and then use mi flash for flashing rom from here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Choose "last europe"
It is miui 12, Android 10, but then you receive ota update or download recovery update version from web.
In mi flash you can choose "clean all & lock" option, i have done same procedure for my device. Cheers.

VF is different from Global or EEA, so package doesn't match in update app

Well, this really blows. I set up an account fine, logged in with MiUnlock, tried to unlock, it threw an error 1004. Tried again, told me to associate this device and number in developer settings. I did that, tried again, and it said "Try again 168 hours later, not earlier or you'll wait from scratch"...
This sucks.
I don't get it at all. Everything seemed fine. Is there really nothing I can do?
I'm almost tempted to just return the phone if I can't.

But it was with some sort of error message, is this normal?
If it's normal and I just need to try in a week, then ok, but if there's something else, I might as well return it since no telling when VF will release firmware, and I wasn't told it was VF-branded on purchase.
I also get something about "SMS_DOWNLINK_REACHED", if that matters, but it didn't seem to affect the Mi account or the developer options "add account to device".

You have to wait a week, yes. Seller should say if it is a branded VF device. If you don't want to wait you can return it. In my case i have paid 420 EUR, so i choose to unbrand it by myself.
I advice you to read some guide online for unlocking etc
Message in "mi flash" is normal, you have to use "mi unlock" before. They are different programs

Yeah, I know they're different, this message is from Mi Unlock Tool, I followed the steps on Xiaomi's DL site for it, i.e. create and confirm a Mi account on the phone, download the tool, log in with the account, boot the phone in safeboot mode, try unlocking, llink the phone and number with developer options, etc.
If it's normal, then that's good and I didn't mess something up. All that's left is to wait and see if it works in a week.
Thanks a lot for the help, I hope this works out eventually!
Hi,
I received yesterday a note 10 pro chopin in France. It is th china version with a global Rom (12.5.1) and everything seems to work except ... phoning and messaging services :-(
Does anyone have the same issue ?
I have a SIM card from Red SFR (a french communication company) wich works on other phones. I have also tried the SIM of my daughter in the chopin and the result is the same.
I have tried to manualy search for cellular networks but after trying to serach, the phone says 'Couldn't search for mobile networks'.
I have installed the last miui update 12.5.5 and it didn't change anything.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve it ?
I just sent a message to the seller to inform him of the problem.
I have also checked that the frequencies used by the phone doesn't cover all french mobile frequencies but they have common frequencies at least (3/4 for 4G)
Thank you
You can try to enter the phone information in the dial screen by typing *#*#4636#*#* to set the preferred network type.
