This would be an opportunity for you to go and create and post an FTF for us while your phone is still stock.

This general guide will show you how to download and create the FTF.

I also put the flashtool on google drive so you can download this tool faster since the actual site where to get it from is slow.

Make sure you back up the TA partition too before you unlock the bootloader. There is a thread about how to do this.

do u need FTF for Indonesia firmware? which version - 402 or 314?

i can provide either...
[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
Hey guys,

i've just flashed the .314 firmware (German version) on my phone. Everything cool except one annoying thing:

the First Start Setup can not disappear and this is blocks the sleep mode, the phone doesn't go to sleep ex. after 30secs.

After i turn on the device and enter the PIN a huge Power Off button appears on the screen, like this:

poweroff

If i click on it, nothing happens. I put back the 402 firmware, it appears there too, but after i click on it, the device turns off, and after restart everything's fine.

So here on 314, there is a small "double screen" on the top left corner of the display, like this:

double screen

This icon "represents" the First Start Setup.

If i force close this app or service (don't know for sure) the sleep mode is ok, but there must be an easier way, it shouldn't work like this.

Do anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
How about provide both and let Norti know so he can put links up in the OP.

Have you tried a different country ftf to see if it does the same thing on 314?
[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
No, i didn't yet, i've just downloaded 314 Kuwait and Thailand. Let's see what happens, i'm doing it now.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
I was going to say, download Canada. It's one of the firmwares with least bloatware.
[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
Thailand and Kuwait is sadly the same. Basically the "big Power button" comes first after flashing and powering on the device.

I don't know what should i do.

Anyway, thanks for ur help Sango2! :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Have you tried to do a factory wipe?
[Xperia Z2 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
.314 of Canada Region has a lot of bloatware or not ??? Currently I have installed the version Germany. Germany has the difference for Canada?
[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
Yes, i did. Actually i do it before and after flashing, but nothing's changed.

I've just downloaded the Canadian 314 you referred, but the issue is still there.

If i force close that service(First Start Setup), then ok, but i don't like that way.

It should be working without tricks.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
Not sure about Germany, but I've used other versions like Thailand, and Canada has a few less in terms of bloatware. However, in the end it really doesn't matter. All bloat that's included in these releases can be disabled or uninstalled.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
I wonder if you need to use PC Companion and it do the recovery so it flashes and wipes it. Something is definitely weird. Try without the SIM card?

[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
Good ideas. I'll give them a shot. Thanx man, appreciate it!
[Xperia Z2 General] S M G:
Actually the Russian firmware has the least amount of bloatware,i know this because i have literally installed ALL the different regions' version to determine exactly this.
[Xperia Z2 General] LenAsh:
Well done for making the effort to flash every version... in the name of research of course!

You can normally tell how much bloatware is present from the file size. Some people remove a couple of files from the ftf, but these are generally small in size and still allow comparison.

Most of the regional bloatware is removable without root, so any ftf of the same release version can be rendered the same.
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
Gotcha.

Just curious, since you've tried various firmwares, it appears that some options vary.

Ie. Roaming, some firmwares have the options of International Roaming, National roaming (default), off besides Roaming on an off. Another is Internet download settings automatically download for the first time (assume phone is clean), as opposed to manually doing it.

Wondering if you know which had these variations.
[Xperia Z2 General] S M G:
Options do vary indeed, however i haven't specifically checked the roaming options,i can however confirm that certain versions prompts for internet/mms setting to be downloaded automatically during initial setup,the Generic DE version for instance does that. The Generic RU version does not prompt you to download the internet/mms setting during initial setup so you have to do it manually. The RU version also shows 4G instead of LTE and does not display an NFC icon when its active. In my experience the generic DE (German) and generic CA (Canadian) firmwares also have the most pre-installed apps. Example after doing a fresh installation of the Generic DE version when you go into setting->apps->downloaded it indicates that +-530MB has been used. The generic RU version after a fresh install shows +-320MB used.

Interestingly the OfficeSuite which comes pre-installed differs as well, for instance the generic DE version has the PRO version of OfficeSuite whereas the generic RU version has the standard version.

It just means that he excluded the *.ta files (TA stands for Trim Area) when creating the FTF file, which is actually the correct way when creating such FTF files (see guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2334653). By doing so, there will not be an "Exclude TA" option when flashing via Flashtool (I think). Don't worry, it doesn't affect the flashing process and the file is safe to use.
[Xperia Z2 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Tks for the info! Can you tell me if in network settings is written 3G/4G instead of WCDMA / GSM in Canada FW ??!?
[Xperia Z2 General] Sango2:
I think some also have some regional apps too when tried the HK, UK and Singapore one

I know Canada had LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Wireless Emergency.

For Canada's firmware, the network settings is written has WCDMA / LTE for 3G and 4G.
[Xperia Z2 General] Marshall_xm:

[Xperia Z2 General] UgloBuglo:
That should work - I flashed Indonesian 314 over my Nordic 402 without losing anything.
[Xperia Z2 General] ProdigalFather:
I'm in the UK on 3 - I've had the update notification for the OTA for .314 on my phone for two days now.

I'm currently on .55, already rooted (DooMLorD's method) and I have [NUT]'s DualRecovery on my phone - therefore I can't update OTA.

There doesn't seem to be an unbranded UK version of .314 yet either.. So I guess I need to wait until that comes out so I can flash it with flashtool and then root again?
[Xperia Z2 General] MrCatalyst:
I haven't got the update yet, despite being on Three also. In fact, I was still on the .55 long after .402 was out, and had no OTA - but it could be because .55 was bugged as hell, who knows.

Poor Sony

Why are unlocked sim free phones in the UK so poorly supported? I came from a galaxy note 3 and galaxy gear to my new xperia z2 (kept the gear and it works with my Z2), the UK gets so shafted!

Come on Sony the UK needs support, where is 17.1.2.A.0.314 for the UK? and what's with the camera overheating issue as well, poor design or software, shame again on you Sony..apologies for the slightly off topic moan guys.
[Xperia Z2 General] kirby76:
Agreed. We're waiting for the HU version too here in Hungary. The real shame is the lack of 4.4.4 Android version for Z2, however Z1 already got it.
[Xperia Z2 General] norti:
I prefer older android versions in the same main version with available root exploits than newer patched versions without significant changes in software ;) I don't mind if Sony skips 4.4.4 and goes straight to L (4.5?) this autumn/winter. I can wait, but bugfix firmware updates should be more often released.

Hi MrCatalyst , used instructions here for the XperiFirm program http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 to create ftf file for flashing, and even though my Z2 is sim free I flashed th 3UK ROM as my network is 3 anyway!

[Xperia Z2 General] MrCatalyst:
I think the only difference will be our operator's bloatware, but we have apps to deal with these already. Since the phone is sim-free already, it makes no difference - people have flashed German firmware (albeit unbranded) and it worked, but since you're on the same network, it makes absolutely no difference. xD

Unbelievable that apparently the carriers can get the firmware out faster than Sony in the UK. As soon as something is available to give the carrier for certification, there is no reason to delay providing the update to unbranded customers. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, SONY.

The one marked on the SD card slot is not the customization number. That is the SI number.

If you can get into the service menu from using the dialer and typing *#*#7378423#*#, you can get the number to show up. Do you recall where you got your phone from?
