I bookmarked this thread when it started and each time I click on the bookmark and your comment comes up I laugh! What is it - 6 weeks later on and i'm still waiting for the update (customized (that is, unbranded) uk)? Well played, Sony. Don't rush.

I'm thinking you probably have managed to find some data by now...
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
What is that essential function that UK has and the available DE does not ?
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
I forget man, but is there a specific reason you're waiting for unbranded UK ftf?

You'll like this story even better. I had a prepaid data sim only as you can only get that as a 90 day foreigner. Few days after the US ftf rolled out I was able to get an actual sim card with a Japanese phone number. Now...new sim is unlimited data but they throttle you like hell (bad choice). Update said 2 days to finish.

I switched back to my prepaid data as the 60 days weren't finished and I had some data left. Guess how much was left? 1.75gb...the EXACT amount to download the US ftf and flash via flashtool. Stayed up till 4am with having to leave for work at 6am. The android dedication of being on the latest :eek:
[Xperia Z3 General] NetSkill:
Yes it does !!! thank YOU!! :highfive:
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
I've grabbed different region's roms before. The bottom line is that I can wait; it can't be more than a few weeks away. And I'm not 100% sure of the difference between different regions' unbranded roms. They should be almost identical, if not entirely identical (as Android should cover the language differences) but then you read up on it and find people complaining about battery, wifi/data signal strength etc, and there are minor things like whether the icons say 4g or lte. Do all regions have support for the UK networks in terms of that option in the menu which gets your internet settings so that mms, data etc just works? What about future OTAs? Am I waiting for the different region's OTA or the UKs? A lot of those concerns are trivial, and I find it hard to believe that changes in software can alter wifi strength, for example, but there are enough questions for me to not bother wanting to spend the 2 hours or so it'll take me to download and install the rom, then update all my apps, reconfigure them the way they were before (I'm going to do a factory reset when MM turns up) etc.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
From my experience, having a D6603 in the US and manually flashing Baltic, then Nordic, then US, then German DE all for lollipop builds and now back on US and currently using on Japanese docomo network.

I can say that the mms/Internet will work on all those different custoniyregion firmwares. I used Baltic last year in Asia going to 5.1.1 and now US on 6.0.1 in Japan. Only difference are the pre-installed apps that you can uninstall.

All customized firmwares will have carrier settings in an to choose from. I'm using U-next and I see tons of other carrier settings in the app list, but I have to add new apn for U-next.

I use the WiFi from the brand spanking new Starbucks built in my city and WiFi reception is fine.

The ota you will be waiting for in the future will be whichever region firmware you flashed previously or are running on.

Definitely agree, clean wipe for MM bro. I didn't and phone kept rebooting every 5 secs during setup.

Give you props for waiting, but flash away any firmware. They don't have different bands or anything. Some people have ocd and feel as if there is a problem that's very obvious from one region to another. Just like in the car modding world, by adding an intake they feel like they've gained 35 horsepower, butt power as we call it.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Flash any region, but exclude baseband. That will leave you on the one you already have, and eliminate region incompatibility issues with networks and modems.

i have a question

I had a D6633 device and i just exchanged it with D6603... i want to flash a prerroted MM rom, the problem is the friend i exchanged it with let it automatically update to MM, so i have to downgraded root and recovery then flash MM prerooted

my question is, it takes sometime to download 1.6 Giga's , and i already had an LP ftf for D6633, obviously network wont work, but is it possible temporarily , flash D6633 root it and recovery, then from recovery flash a D6603 Prerooted rom.

is that possible and wont effect the device?
[Xperia Z3 General] Miltos95:
Is there a working recovery for this build? I made my own PRF but even with root i couldn't mount the system as rw. Solved it with RICDefeat (at least that's what it said on the cmd, applied it via a Windows PC).

Installed the XZDualRecovery 2.8.26 and got into a bootloop.
[Xperia Z3 General] NetSkill:
create your PRF again using this zip as recovery in PRFcreator

[Xperia Z3 General] warboss:
Is there any chance at the moment to downgrade when i'm on MM official? I wanna use custom roms but nothing is working so far.... i'm on UB btw
[Xperia Z3 General] josema9410:
Yes , use flashtool and choose the ftf , you can go back to LP if you want to
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
But I suggest wipe data after downgrade, because it will cause infinity reboot.

Ive just bought my unbranded Z3 (D6603) in UK, and its only installed upto 511 (264), No MM... Is that right.. or do i install MM through another way like PC Companion

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] NetSkill:
UK still isnt released
[Xperia Z3 General] NightOrchid:
Thanks for that really fast reply friend... Thats fine, just as long as im not missing anything. :)..

The funny thing is.. I used to own a Z3 a while back, so I recieved an email from SONY saying MM was ready to install..

Oh well ill get it when it hits..
[Xperia Z3 General] Adamgbarnett:
Got the upgrade last week in the UK on three mobile. It's terrible.

Battery isn't as good, everything's slower.
[Xperia Z3 General] NightOrchid:
Sorry to hear that... Thats not good.. Is your device locked to 3 and does it come with 3 bloatware...

Are there any improvments or changes to the camera at all..
[Xperia Z3 General] NetSkill:
There are improvements in UI it has the same UI like the z5 series... Not sure about the picture quality... I tried mm few days back but to me picture quality seems the same

To say something about the update something is better, something worse... Sony released another beta version with tons of fixes,improvements even those that i found by my self lets wait till they release it as official

I have flashed the Customized Nordic Combined on a phone that I sent in for repairs that came back with Customized CE1 firmware. Since then I'm getting very poor WiFI signal and I don't always get a 4G connection.

Could I flash only the baseband file from the previous firmware or from another firmware (Lollipop or MM) made for my country and operator?
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
You've bought a sony product so you have to wait months and months and months for security fixes (Stagefright), OS updates etc.

You can watch the painfully slow process here:

https://xpericheck.com/device/D6603
[Xperia Z3 General] Adamgbarnett:
It's network unlocked and doesn't have any bloatware.

I'm just hoping they push another update soon which bucks it up...
[Xperia Z3 General] NightOrchid:
To be honest, the only 2 things im looking for to in MM is the rule of thirds Grid Lines on the camera view finder.. not sure how SONY havent bothered with them for so long, and second.. the much louder ringer/SMS volume in MM

This is one of the bad things about living in UK and all developers do it.. from SONY to Samsung to LG and HTC... we are the last region to get firmware updates... and I dont know whether its to do with the UK patent laws or what.. but we are always the last... so, yeah, I know this pain to well

Im sure theres a new Beta out and another update on the way now..
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Yes, wipe nothing and exclude everything except baseband.
[Xperia Z3 General] Rm4n:
I've downloaded the Orange RO, Vodafone RO and 2 Customized CE versions of Lollipop but none of them include the baseband option as shown in other tutorials on the internet. Could you please let me know where to get or what to do to obtain a new baseband?

Made a prerooted zip with RecRoot4 with 575 ftf.

Have I missed something to do? I remember there is an additional step to do but could not remember WhatsApp?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
This does Titanium Backup also on .570 I think there is bug in Titanium Backup compatibility ... However, if I delete the app folder with Root Explorer, it is gone.

TB has worked for me in .570. I could delete system apps like hangout.

In .575 it does not work as I said and Root Explorer tells me cannot delete folder or .apk

But with tb it does not work

guys any idea how to root the latest version .575 ?
[Xperia Z3 General] patrol-cz:
Hi!

Sorry for a partial OT...

I have ...570 on my LB phone, but rooted and highly personally customized.

Yesterday I got a FOTA update request to ...575, however it fails to proceed probably because of the rooting and my changes..

I've captured the update_package file (about 193 MB) and I would like to apply it manually (i.e. copy the files in it onto their places by shell commands in the custom recovery). However, I don't know how to decrypt it. I searched hard but I failed. I tried to trick FlashTool to decrypt it for me by FILESET decrypt function, but it crashes when the decrypted file still has a zero length. I even found an older package "ConvertTools" and tried SeusDecrypt java utility from it, but it just "reencrypts" it into another file of the same length but full of garbage. Is there a chance to decrypt the update_package file ? I don't want to full-flash to keep my work currently done to .570...

WIth regards,

Pavel

Set selinux permissive, then if you want set it again to enforcing.

EDIT:

only if you have root, i was thinking you have it because you have mentioned Titanium.

True Story Bro

Like me, I don't want to delete all and flash. But maybe we get punished that we don't flash it. This update is officially since more than one months. ?

They want me to buy another brand, lol!
[Xperia Z3 General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I think it's time for me as an unbranded UK user to hunt for another region's ftf like USA which works the same as the UK one and gets fast updates.

Been waiting patiently for too long at this stage, it shouldn't take months to release an update after it started being available.

Sony needs to slow down with releasing phones every 6 months and focus on managing the software because excellent hardware isn't always everything. Beginning to feel sorry for the M and C series users.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Generally the difference will be in which bloatware is included. For Russia it will be Yandex.ru app, for LAM something else. There should be no substantial differences in functionality. The phone should work all around the world same. There may be, that non-MENA firmwares do NOT support right-to-left languages (Arabic, Persian etc.).

[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
I'm unbranded UK here and i just flashed the US one (because it includes the 575 update too). (I had to use flashtools in linux because windows 10 refused to run it. The linux flashtools torrent contained an older version but it worked).

I did a factory reset so i'm still setting it up. It seems ok. Will take a few days to see if wifi/battery is ok - no reason to suspect they're worse than before.

The only problem I've got is that if you press keys at the edge of the screen using Google keyboard it doesn't always vibrate. Like if you type the right edge of the letter P, it registers the press (so the screen is working) but it doesn't vibrate. Same for backspace. I never had this problem before, and it's only on the Google keyboard.

[Xperia Z3 General] NightOrchid:
IMO, if SONY would just do a yearly release schedule like everyone else and actually support and develop what they have for that whole year, then release decent upgrades, it wouldnt be so bad.. but they seem to have this mad idea that theyve got to be better than everyone else and release upgrades every 6 months. but. how can you develop and support your devices and customers.. if youve always got your head up your bu*t developing... IMO, the Z3+/Z4 didnt have a place and instead of developing it properly... they just jumped straight in and bought the 1st gen 810, which was a flawed chip... and the Z3+/Z4 is just a thinner Z5 with a new camera and 2nd gen 810.

Actually when I bought the Z3, I was tied between it and the G4.. In fact where I bought my Z3 last week in Argos UK, I can buy the G4 for £20 cheaper than the Z3. Fantastic audio on the Z3 vs superior camera and fast updates on the G4... tempting..

Flashed Customized DE 23.5.A.0.575 over Customized UK Lollipop and found no problems whatsoever.

RAM management, Camera, etc are all working great and Mobile data, messaging and phone calls work like a charm. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
How can your RAM management be great man. If I open like 5-6 apps, the first app will be closed again instantly or ALL opened apps after like 45 minutes.
[Xperia Z3 General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I haven't come across the issue of apps closing in the background or refreshing, they seemed to act as if they were exactly how I left them, despite the amount of apps I have open (which often ranges from 3-7 at the same time).

The whole system hasn't slowed down either and I feel like this is a slight improvement compared to my situation on Lollipop.

Placebo? Possibly.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Did you do a factory reset? What's running slower?

---------- Post added at 20:25 ---------- Previous post was at 20:22 ----------

Perhaps for some people it's slower, but we don't know what's slow, if they did a factory reset, what apps they're running, which version they're running (570 or 575 etc). There's a lot of parameters. I've had none of those problems, no aggressive memory management, no terrible photos, no self-cracking screen. Sometimes I wonder if I have a Z3 at all...
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
I've done a factory reset for .570 because my Z3 was exchanged friday, but dirty flashed .575. That can't make such a difference as it is still Marshmallow to Marshmallow, so no version change.

Apps running usually are: Facebook, Whatsapp, SMS, Chrome. I can't have them all open. As soon as I open Facebook and open Chrome again Facebook will close. And it's the other way round also.
