Hi guys,
I am considering Buying what of these phones as the idea of a joypad for a mobile is awesome, just got one question:
I'll be buying this imported (as its way cheaper) so more then likely it will have Hong Kong (Asia) firmware on it..is there "stock Rom" for this? i had a HTC desire HD that i managed to get back to worldwide firmware myself (after 2 weeks of research) so I was wondering if the same thing is possible with the Xperia play?
I don't wanna buy one and be stuck on another counties firmware.
any tips/help would be awesome
Thanks guys

You should be able to flash the UK generic firmware on it using flash tool. After that you could root it using Gingerbreak, update it to 2.3.3 and remove the bloat.
All without unlocking your boot loader, too. Unless you just want to, that is.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
I'm looking moreso towards an aussie firmware, since my mobile provider would be a 3rd party of optus, I dont mind having optus bloatware on there. if theres aussie genric firmware, i would more then happy to have that over a worldwide firmware?

I don't know of an Australian FW, but there could be one. Most go for the UK generic because of being able to root then update to 2.3.3 without losing root. You'll need to unless you plan on installing everything on the SD card.

im not too fussed about it being unlocked...i jsut want a firmware i can easily upgrade ( offical is what im looking for) that supports OTA updates too. its not really breaking any laws if its still the offical firmware suited for the device...any clue where i should start looking for rom guides and files? best to be prepared for when i get the phone!
I would just go with the uk generic. So far when it has come to updates the uk firmware has been one of the first to get the updates.
If you got an aussie firmware with optus bloatware on you would have to wait till optus ok's the update before you get it (god knows how long that would take?). Alot of people got the update weeks later because they had carrier branded software vs people who just have the generic software.
People from usa have even flashed the uk firmware (to get updates quicker) and there has not been any problems. If your phone is sim free it will not make a difference which software is on it.
Follow the steps here to get the uk generic + root with a locked bootloader. Once you have flashed the uk firmware all your future updates will automatically come from the uk.
Hello,
I'm really sorry for this question, but I am kinda new to Android, used Windows Phones for couple of years. I live in Eastern Europe and I just bought S4. But my phone has older firmware version and it doesn't offer any updates I want to flash the UK version, how to do that? And will I get updates for UK, not for Eastern Europe afterwards? I have i9505.
Okay, figured it out ))

No help? :/
Hi guys , just a quick question , im in Australia and we dont get the D855 3Gb/32Gb version on sale, so i bought a grey import version from DWI ( HK seller ) that came with a TWN version of software.
Now , i dont get the option to switch the LTE on in my phone settings and i was wondering if i can change to a different version of software EUR for example ?
Will my IMEI recieve OTA for that version or it will revert to TWN version ? i dont want to root it as yet , i heard about deleting the apk that enables the 4G but as of right now i dont want to bump/ root my phone !
Really ?? no one knows if its possible ?
try flashing a european kdz with lg flashtool, v10m or v10l are both from europe..

You can flash any rom for the 855 but you will only get OTA for ur region

mate.. im with Telstra.. 4G .. the only i can connect is if i enter service menu and select LTE.. but after restart.. back to WCMDA
you dont need to change the firmware, just root and go to system/app folder and delete LTEconfig.apk, thats all, now you can choose 4g in menu
Anyone has any info on OTA update, outside the zone that landed first? like Europe/USA?
Europe/Greece here.. No
Same Sh1t... Different Day
Europe, The Netherlands.
So far, no update
Thx for the update guys.
Romania/ Europe, so far its silance.
I think it depends for what region the phone is made for. I dont know how you can check that, tho i bought it from my country so it must be for it/eu.
Maybe one week after original APAC update will be enough to release EU, maybe they will work on fixes, who knows...
If they work on fixes, i can wait.
If not, i dont see the point of not realeasing it.
Btw, how you check for what region was your phone made?
Europe France no OTA today
Idem today at me, i think it will take them a while to deploy in Europe..
Htc suspended the OTA much problems with Oreo
Europe Italy no OTA......,IDK when will it lands in Facebook some reporting that users with firmware 1.64.617.17 with dual SIM update is rolling out now
any update guys? i saw an OTA picture in other thread. I dont have more info about it, but maybe he will post.
Nothing here in Bulgaria. My phone is imported from UK.
How can you check from where / for what region is your phone for? if anyone knows.
You can check here with imei number:
https://imei24.com/imei_check/HTC/
You can see your imei by typing *#06# in dialer
It just arrived to EUROPE! hurray

I have the snapdragon variant of the s8 and I regularly check for updates but the last update it got was from july 2018. I would like add that I live in the UK and it is an unlocked version of the S8. Is there a way to obatin the one ui update manualy as I cant get it through the US version of the samsung members app either?

You can download the latest at updato.com or sammobile.com and flash using the latest odin tool
Here u can find and download manually android pie for your model
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
But u can also use updato.com for faster download speed.
Be sure to use latest Odin 3.13.3
Edit: it seems @TheMadScientist was a bit faster then me
Would I still be able to have the unlocked version of the s8 or will flashing the update lock it to a specific sim career?

Depends if you download the U1 bit 5 firmware or the U firmware These devices are hardly locked to any carrier if it is sim unlocked Switching is so easy now
Thanks for the quick replys guys, I was thinking of flashing this firmware for the UK unlocked s8.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/BST/download/G950USQU5DSD3/268481/
Would I be able to flash different firmware afterwards if this one doesn't work out properly?
BTW I have attached a picture of my current software details: https://m.imgur.com/a/v7j79L4

Yes you can flash another. That's boost Mobile a cdma sprint subsidiary
If your carrier is a gsm it won't work more than likely but as long as you stay bit 5 you can flash any of them
Ohh I see I didn't know it was cdma, uk uses gsm only so a tmobile firmware would make more sense such as this one https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/TMB/download/G950USQU5DSD3/272406/
