It comes with NFC icon pre-enable I assume , compare with spain tft which need to modified.

any of the irritating notifications?

has permanent "swipe up to unlock" text?
compatible to all xperia z cust #s?

Possible to elaborate more on merging files?

I need help on merging the files as well.
Any idea how to do it on Mac OSX?
update:
I've figured out how to merge the files in Mac OSX with terminal.
After flashing the rom, I'm still on 4.1.2?

why 4.1.2???? i already flash it..

the same problem: 4.1.2 after flashing
flashtool 0.9.11.0
flashing process was completed without any errors
but... 4.1.2 and even not HK - just my previous build and localization

Same here.
The first time i flash from the last global fw and got stuck in a boot loop.
I used update service to reset my phone. It reverted back to the last fw that was released in the uk. So this was a couple of firmwares backwards.
I then tried to flash this ftf again. After the process my phone is factory reset but with the uk firmware that was released a good few weeks ago.

That's very awkward.
 @feizylong: Did you use all (five) FILE_********* files from Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service?
Did you include everything except simlock.ta?

Same here. Flashed and still on 4.1.2. :crying:

after comparing this firmware with ES one, i found that here are TWO "elabel" files!
but deleting of "elabel-c6603-row_201302281243_10.1.1.A.1.253.sin" from the .FTF (and leaving "elabel-c6603-row_201302281243_10.3.A.0.423.sin") didn't help at all
bye-bye, buggy HK
hello, working ES!

Hello, who can assist for the CMW kernel for the 4.2.2 version for flashing through flashtool ? I think there's none yet released, but there are version where you need to flash the whole ZIP file. I just need the kernel boot.img with CMW, as i flashed the ES unbranded version. Working just excellent, and rooted with DooMLord's V15 easy rooting toolkit

permanent "swipe up to unlock" text?

How to take screenshot now in 4.2.2?

You need:
1. To downgrade firmware to .314 via flashtool and to root your tablet.
2. Install XZDualRecovery.
3. Install prerooted (.167) version via recovery (OP).

Thank you. I sat till 01:30 this morning to get my tablet back to workable state after trying to downgrade. In the process I lost some data.
The mistake I did was to flash your ftf file via flashtool after I did a OTA update to .167. From there things went south quickly. Now I'm back to .167 after flashing a generic .314 and doing an OTA.
Will start the process again to downgrade and then root and then install dual recovery.
Sorry for the stupid question. I'm from South Africa, is there a way I can get or make a flashable .167 for my region or doesn't it really matter using a RU version?

First off, i would like to say thank you for these FTF files
i flashed this FTF without a hitch, everything works as it should except my data connection. and for me, this is a deal breaker, i need the data connection (I'm currently with bell mobility)
now my question is...
can i take out the LTE bands from this 23.0.1.A.0.167 FTF and replace it with bell's (band4 1700MHz, band7 2600MHz)
sorry for this noob question, my other tab is the nexus 7... no FTF files to deal with.
firmware version
17.1.1.A.0.438 with a locked bootloader ( un-lockable )

Hi again. Managed to get the update done and now have. 167 installed with root. I'm having the same problem as blaze82 with regards to the LTE not working for me. I also need my LTE to work, so can this be fixed somehow?
An ex Asus transformer user, so the sony way of foing is also new to me.
Many thanks for files and help.

Just realized that there is no APN set for mobile Internet access. Added it and now my LTE is working.

Is the any ROM for Xperia Z3+ Dual E6533 ?

Can anyone please post an FTF for E6553 (generic Hong Kong version)? I managed to brick my phone
Edit: Never mind - PC companion repair menu saved the device model in its history, so I'm good for now . But post it anyway if you could as we need to build a good FTF collection

I just successfully flashed my Z3+ (E6553) using Flashtool 0.9.18.6 - I used the device drivers of the Z2 (Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers and both Xperia Z2 Device Drivers).

few questions...
do you need to have the bootloader unlocked to use flashtool?
Also, I like in the USA and bought the z3+. The current CDA is HK generic which is version .24. I see that the generic UK version is .27. Is there an advantage to put the .27 firmware on the phone?

No. Unlocked Bootloader is just for rooting.

The only variants using 28.0.A.7.27 are "Customized UK" and "O2 Pay monthly UK". Every other variant is 28.0.A.7.24 or older. They often did that with the Z2 too and the main reason was because of bugs so I guess they released 28.0.A.7.24 for UK too but noticed some bugs, thus fixed these and released 28.0.A.7.27
28.0.A.7.24 and 28.0.A.7.27 should be the exact same Android version 5.0.2. If it were Android 5.1 or even 5.1.1 they would have used a much higher version number.

Also, when you run flashtool do you run normal version or 64 version? Not sure if that is in reference to the device or the computer.

I can't say about Z3+ but for Z2 and here it still worked. Maybe Sony changed something with the Z3+ but I don't think so. In short (but without guarantee): yes, it should still work.

If your Computer Operating System (Windows / Mac / Linux) is 64-Bit use FlashTool64.exe and if not stick with the FlashTool.exe

Thank you. You have been helpful. That leads me to yet another question (I am a first time xperia user, I have used HTC up to this point).
In the flashtool I was able to choose the z3+ as my device. It was my understanding that the z3+ was not included yet., WIth that said there are options within the flashtool to root the device. IS that something that can be done now?

FTF E6553_28.0.A.7.27_1295-7703_R6A
Device: E6553
Version: 28.0.A.7.27
Country: UK
Provider: unbranded
Customization number: 1295-7703

1) Get latest Flashtool from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php and install it
2) Run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and select Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers and both Xperia Z2 Device Drivers (there are no Z3+ drivers yet but the Z2 ones work great)
3) Download the FTF you want and save it in eg. C:\
4) Power Off your Z3+ and connect the microUSB cable to it (but leave it disconnected from the Computer)
5) Run C:\Flashtool\FlashTool.exe (or FlashTool64.exe if you have a 64-Bit Operating System on your Computer)
6) Click the Lightning icon on the very left
7) Select Flashmode and click OK
8) On the top select the path where you have your FTF downloaded
9) On the left select the firmware you want to flash
10) IMPORTANT: On the right in "Exclude :" select the checkbox next to TA
11) Click Flash
12) Wait some time
13) When asked (the green arrow window) press Volume down and connect the USB cable to your Computer
14) Flashing starts.
15) Check the main Flashtool window. It shows a log and that tells you when flashing is done. If you don't see any red lines everything went fine.
I strongly advise to NOT do anything with your Computer, its connected devices or cables as long as flashing is in progress. Don't even plug or unplug a thumb drive. I have a USB3.0 AddOn card and when I plug in a device my native USB2.0 ports are disconnected for a millisecond. That's not a problem for thumbdrives, etc. but this can brick your phone while it gets flashed.

You're welcome and congrats to your first Xperia
I have absolutely no clue about rooting. Never did it. Current version of Flashtool may successfully root your Z3+ or it may brick it. I have absolutely no clue. What I know is that the Z3+ is officially not supported yet (but thankfully at least flashing works because Sony didn't changed anything since at least Z2).

Thanks an3k for this guide. I'm a first-time Xperia Owner so please forgive my dumb question. I wanted to flash the "FTF E6553_28.0.A.7.27_1295-7703_R6A" but there is no TA in the exlude menu. I'm on the newest Flashtool version. Can i proceed anyway or will I lose the Xperia Enhancements ?

Yeah, there are some bad changes in the new flashtool version. Instead of simply selecting TA you now have to manually select each ta file. I'll update my quick guide but here's additionally what you have to do now:
Check the list below "Content :" and look for all entries ending with .ta (eg. cust-reset.ta). If you found one, search for the same entry in the "Exclude :" list (eg. CUST-RESET) and select it. Do this for every .ta entry shown in the "Content :" list.
Normally it's only CUST-RESET and FOTA-RESET. Sometimes you'll additionally have SIMLOCK
Additionally if you want to wipe your device while flashing it to a new firmware (was the default behavior until the latest flashtool version) you also have to check all three checkboxes (APPS_LOG, CACHE, USERDATA) in to top right "Wipe :" list!

you can't flash generic firmware, but root and build kernel to restore TA is posible, should downgrade to 6.0 and backup TA before you want to do anithing else

And, does someone know how to create the rom using newest ftf available?

yes i have flashed this firmware on sov33 and it turned out good.. except of nfc every thing smooth and 100% stable.
but i would like to inform you all that
do not try to flash Oreo firmware directly on sov33 via flashtool, because it is damaging the device just like i have, i tried nougat f8131 on sov33 staying on stock nougat and device was running faboulis but then after few days i tried oreo downloaded from internet of f8131 and tried to flash,
flashing went well for about 98% and then it is showed flashing completed 100% but with error, bootloader file error was there
and then my set is dead
it is booting into fastboot mode but it cannot boot into flashmode
and cannot even boot to stock rom
only black dead screen

you can't flash generic firmware, but root and build kernel to restore TA is posible, should downgrade to 6.0 and backup TA before you want to do anithing else

Can you flash this Rom?

FSC file to flash Android Pie to XZ2 Premium?

Hi, I have recently bought an XZ2 Premium imported from Hong Kong, which seems to be the last region to receive the Android Pie update. As Flashtool doesn't have an FSC for Android Pie, I am unable to flash a different region's firmware. Would anyone be able to provide a script so that I can flash my phone please?

I used newflasher, but I flashed it two times.
First time with newflasher excluding persist.sin file not to loose the Android Attest Key and then second time with Xperia Companion repair to be sure.
see my post about newflasher here

I'm not sure how I feel about using something I've never used before and I don't want to lose all my data by flashing.

Can someone help us providing this file?

What I ended up doing was flashing a different region's version of Nougat with Flashtool, and then it updated to Pie automatically.
UK ROM for single-SIM devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904007092
UK ROM for dual-SIM devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904006585
I only used the UK ROM because it was the easiest one to find, but feel free to use whichever. The Hong Kong handsets are literally the only ones still waiting for Pie.

Thank you very much. i was just thinking about the same thing: to flash nougat and upgrade to pie via ota then.
Yeah..i have the hk version....and it's frustrating to see how much time they need to let be available pie!

Hoping to do what pleases, I want to inform you that I have upgraded to pie (without deleting any existing data) following the advice of the friend above. So: 1) I downloaded the UK firmware into the flashtool folder. 2) Start the flash without flagging any box related to the data wipe. Wait approximately 20 minutes. (note that the flashtool process stops with the writing "disconnected phone, connected in flash mode, and not with" flash terminated, disconnect the device). Restarted .... in 2 minutes I detected the update available to android pie. 3) Download and install the update of about 1.01GB. Everything works perfectly. Thx again

I'm sorry, but that's not a solution for me. This would involve completely resetting the device, starting it as if it were the first time, and after updating to the latest version of 9.0, re-reset to factory settings so that you can take the backup copy of Google, since the latest copies of Security are not compatible with previous versions. When you have 15 applications it can be simple, but I have 190, most with different passwords. That's why I want only the .fsc file, so I can change the version without losing data.

You don't have to reset the phone at all if you do it the way I did it. Resetting my phone isn't a solution for me either, which is why I didn't try the other suggestion made here of using newflasher.
