If a firmware is released as EURO-LTE i can use it in any country and operator?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] n0credit:
I got it 2 days ago, battery improved a lot for me, especially in idle.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
2 days are not enough... you need at least 2-3 weeks to understand if the improvement is real ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] n0credit:
No. I had the same usage and routine daily since Monday, I can say for sure than for me it improved drastically. This was either from this update or a silent Google play services update, I choose the former since it was from that day that I saw the improvement and the other didnt change version number.

You're OT.

Anyway, since you're unlocked, just flash the last firmware through Flashtool, then download and flash andropluskernel: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-andropluskernel-t2937173

Go into recovery and flash the last superSU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Hi Rufus,

Windows 8.1 user here,

could not

flash due to missing drivers and ADB / Fastboot install failed until I followed the below process. Thanks!

1) Install Sony PC Companion and Flashtool

2) Install Flashtool drivers located at C:\Flashtool\drivers (If you have Windows 8, you need to follow the below procedure, no need for Windows 7 and below.)

––– Press the Windows key + R and type this in the run box: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00

––– Make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart

––– When the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.

3) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.

– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.

4) Install Java from this link. oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

5) Place the .ftf firmware you downloaded from this thread in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares

*replace <username> with your Windows logon user name.

6) Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"

7) Select the firmware you downloaded, uncheck "wipe data", and click on "Flash"

8) Wait for a window to pop up (it may take a few minutes, be patient)

– Turn off your phone

– Push and hold the volume-down button, while connecting the USB cable to your PC

– Once the flashing process has started, release the volume rocker

– NEVER disconnect the USB cable until it's finished!!!

9) Once the flashing process has completed, unplug the USB cable and turn on your device.

– Wait for about 10-15 minutes for the app optimisation process to complete.

– Enjoy!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Stu C:
In the OP and in various posts throughout the thread it is mentioned that flashing these ROMs does not affect your warranty, however, I assume this is not black and white... for example, my phone is from Vodafone, and I would like to put an unbranded ROM to get rid of the Vodafone apps (I do not want to root due incompatibility with some apps I use); however, if I took the phone back to Vodafone for a warranty claim, then they will see the ROM is not the "correct" one - I cannot believe they will honour the warranty. The reason I say this, both Vodafone and Sony UK have told me directly that using a network unlock code from a third party invalidates the warranty, because Sony defines this as altering the software - if using a third party NUC invalidates the warranty with both Vodafone UK and Sony UK, how can changing the ROM be acceptable?

What is the basis for the OP's (or anyone else's) claim that this does not invalidate the warranty? (I'm not trying to start an argument - this is an important issue that should be discussed.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mikuru396:
"network unlock" and "different branded firmware" are two DIFFERENT thing ...

Flash a unbranded firmware will not unlock your phone from your network ...

Unlock your phone will not unbrand your firmware (you have to do it yourself) ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Stu C:
I know this, but that is not the point I am making.

Using a third-party network unlock code (i.e. from anyone other than Vodafone in my case) invalidates your warranty with both Vodafone and Sony, because, using the exact words from Sony Support, it is "classed as tampering with the software". Hence, I got my unlock code direct from Vodafone because I have another 18 months of warranty that I want to keep. I would also like to get rid of Vodafone apps, but I can't right now (I do not want to root).

My point is, I would consider flashing a different ROM as being a much bigger case of "tampering with the software" compared to entering an "unauthorised" NUC; therefore I would expect flashing a different ROM would also invalidate the warranty.

As my device is unlocked, I flashed .105 just in order to install the Doomlord's kernel for recovery and root.

Well, I can't see any difference from .98 actually.

I suggest you wait for the next firmware release ;)

PS You can flash a new firmware without wiping your data anyway
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] egzeros:
I know I could uncheck the "Wipe Data" option I'm just worried about potential changes in the firmware that could make some stuff not work. Can anyone confirm that flashing a .105 over the .93 without wiping data does not cause any problems? I suppose if it does cause problems, I can just flash the .93 back. LOL I feel like an addict, must flash latest firmware because it's new and shiny hahaha.

EDIT: I'm impatient lol so I flashed anyways, I will report back if I run into any problems.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
You can do it any time you want without flashing data.

Just wipe when you flash a major release or if you have troubles after flashing.

Always make a backup before playing with flashing :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] egzeros:
backup is great and easy when you have root, but on stock, backup options are so unreliable so flashing is a little more risky and exciting hahaha

anyways, you were right though, all seems to be working well after 5 hours of using it.

Check your PC and your USB cable/ports.

Until your bootloader is locked it's ok, but if you will decide to unlock, be very very careful when you flash any custom kernel via fastboot.

Hey guys, as I am new to Sony phones, I have a question that might sound dumb. If I am on a simlocked-Vodafone RO version (98 smth) of the Z3c, may I flash the Global Generic one (which is 93 smth) over it? Or is it better to go for the UK (105) one?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ajgftw:
You always use xperifirm to have a look at the firmwares available and compare customisation codes available with the one installed on your phone currently.

You can install any of the firmwares available for your model but different countries and carriers may have differences in what apps are installed by default or ui elements like LTE vs 4G in the status bar.

Ultimately it's Xda so your can't do whatever you want in the end. As usual just backup backup backup and then play :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RodrigoOgasawara:
Do the following:

Go to Settings/About phone/Diagnostics and then Facts,Down into "Software" you will see "Customization" and a code right below it.Mine is 1289-0407 per example,now just download one ftf with the same code and thats it!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
i did NOT delete FWinfo file and did NOT include the two ta files. still it seems everything works fine here (installed FTF after creating a pre-rooted fw + dual recovery via PRF creator ;) )

PS: I confirm also in CH firmware no problem with the data connectivity icon spacing :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] casouzaj:
You can check which ROM you currently have installed. Launch the dialer, type in *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service info > Software Info and check the Customization Version. Then, search Xperifirm for your model, click the Check all button, and find yours.
