T-mobile Slovakia OTA update 5.1.1
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hifonicy:
What about the .570 and .580 firmwares???
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PantsDownJedi:
If its the correct model, D5803 opposed to D5833 or whatnot, it should work okay though my experience isn't using Mexico to US, I used Mexico to a generic Latin American ROM which I use in Ecuador. Ecuador, I'm told from some residents here, uses US bands.

The above said, there's a thread for "enabling all bands" or "all frequencies" that has worked equally as well for me. I found that enabling more than what's needed can use more battery and additionally the phone doesn't support all the bands which can lead to problems connecting to data and giving a false positive of the phone being in service to make a call.

I'd suggest using this method as any modifications you might have made won't be lost if all goes well. I've done it 3 or 4 times now. Search specifically for the thread adopted for your phone in this su forum. It looks daunting and will take a long time the first time you do it but after that it will be more routine.

There are presets in the software included for both AT&T and Version networks for the 3g aspect. The only thing not included, which was needed for me, was to write to the phone in the hexadecimal format it gives you if, as in my case, the decimal was too long after enabling 3g band 60 which is needed if you want to also change LTE bands. This will be intuitive when you get to it.

As for simply flashing, it should flash the US modem but as Verison uses more bands than AT&T and (as someone who doesn't live in the US) I gather that T-mobile may be differant, you will want to make sure the ftf you flash is going to work well with the carrier.

Truth be told, I have a D5833 and all the worry about customisation number hasn't applied to me. I actually currently run a D5803 firmware after flashing it by mistake and having no issues but perhaps I've been very lucky. The LTE aspect of doing so hasn't been tested yet until I get phone plan (for those wondering) but I think that would be a bit miraculous and we would have heard a success story already if it were going to work.

Bottom line is that if you back your phone up and know how to restore it, if it was me anyway, Ide go for it if the thread on changing the band is too daunting or doesn't work for you but that's an opinion based on first accidentally flashing the wrong firmware entirely, on a specific firmware version, and not having trouble. As I have the D5833, and presumably you have the D5803, that makes flashing wrong firmwares even more unknown.

Good luck. My advice is to try changing the bands and if it doesn't work out then try the ftf flash. If you've modified your /system directory then it makes it a lot more appealing in my opinion and if changing bands works for you, it makes travelling easier once you've gotten through it once or twice.

Nobody can know that. Only SONY can tell us when :D

If I have to be serious I think that Sony stopped development of the Z2-Z3 series software anything that the last software for Z3 compact is absolutely bull sh**t.

SONY is no more the best company which it was some years ago.... :(

Sorry for my bad English!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nri_tech1183:
Well do you have any concrete proof to prove this crap of yours????
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pepitoff:
Yeah... The pictures taken with the camera is so bad for 20 MP sensor, the software of the camera is so bad, the sound of the device is not what to be (soooo buggy soundenhancement), bad brightnes management, bad icons alignment of the statusbar, time to time lost of the mobile data over 3G and LTE ..... and so many others bugs)

I think that SONY have to work hard for device like Z3 compact that cost soo much money

And If you ask me for development stop ... It is just my opinion man....

Hey,

i'd also like to have the original firmware. I'm slightly confused on how to proceed, could you confirm the following procedure on how to root a 5.1.1 z3 compact:

1. flash stock rom (android 4.4.4) using flashtool

2. root the phone via giefroot
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cdou2391:
Next steps.

3. After getting root,install recovery.I recommend dualrecovery that's the best for a z3 compact imo. Link to thread ( http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/z3c-xzdualrecovery-qa-t3014208 )

4. Download the lollipop 5.1.1 ftf of your region

5 Create a pre-rooted flashable zip of the firmware using PrfCreator. link to thread( http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904 )

6. Copy the zip on your device,preferably the memory card if u hav one.

7.Do the necessary wipes then Flash it via the recovery u installed in step 3

Dualrecovery can be found on xda with a simple search and PrfCreator too

Hello,

I just got a D5803 from ebay. The phone comes with vodafone firmware (it us unlocked though) and I wanted to get rid of that firmware. I have used flashtool to try to upload UNBRANDED FW VERSIONS from Belgium, Italy, France and Spain. I have always been getting the same error: ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors. (which by the way terrified me the first time I got it)

Actually... I have been only succesfully upload the firmware from VODAFONE ITALY 23 0 1 A 5 77.

Am I missing something? Doing something wrong? Is it just a matter of finding an unbranded FW that just work?

I've tested the 23.4.A 1.200 ROM for some hours, but have decided to go back to the 23.4.A 0.546, because the new ROM's clock widgets options are limited to the white ones, and the digital vertical one has both the hour and minutes with bold fonts. Besides, the Personalization menu has gone, migrating the automatic call answer, based on the proximity sensor, to the call settings. And, on the top of all, the stagefright vulnerabilities are all open! How come?

I was on 23.4.A.0.580, Vodafone ES customization + XZDR.

Steps I did to update:

- run Sony PC Companion

- connect phone

- accept the update

- PC Companion asks if I want to disconnect the phone while the update downloads, yes

- disconnect the phone

- the update downloads

- decrypt the 4 FILES downloaded (located in C:\ProgramData\Sony PC Companion\Update\db\***6-digit number***\ or something like that on Windows 8.1) with FlashTool

- create FTF firmware without the .ta files

- use PRFCreator to create prerooted firmware with FTF file + XZDR Z3c 2.8.21-flashable + SuperSU 2.49

- flash prerooted firmware via TWRP

- reboot

- check everything works

- flash Xposed v74-sdk22-arm via TWRP

- Wipe cache/dalvik

- reboot

- use adb to solve Wifi tethering bug
