I just received an Xperia X Performance bought from B&H Photo. I knew beforehand that the fingerprint sensor is disabled on the US version of the phone because of reasons, but I read on the Z5 forums that it can be enabled by flashing a firmware from another region.
So... I went on and tried with the Customized NL firmware and voila. It just works. I used FlashTool and XperiFirm to get the firmware. Easy peasy, it's not even necessary to unlock the bootloader.
You just discovered America!
and you are the 6894 person to do this
Hello everyone
I'm anup yesterday i brought a Xperia X Compact through eBay India it's a (US imported Version)
I had already flash the UK firmware but VoLte doesn't work.
Even my friend had Xperia X Dual on which VoLte work pretty well.
So there is anyone who known how make VoLte working on Xperia X Compact there is any specific region or country which supports VoLte.
I think (Germans firmware) supports VoLte anyone conform that.
Because Xperia concept test is available only for Germany
Please help
I've got the same X compact (US firmware) from ebay India.
I flashed the Central Europe firmware to keep the LTE icon.
Fingerprint enabled but VoLte lost.
Central Europe doesn't support VoLte.
Not sure about German firmware.
Thanks brother do you have any solution for VoLte
Nope! Not yet.
This is VoLte setting for Android device: *#*#4636#*#*
Enter this and select phone info. You will find VoLte setting. I had tried turning it on but again it got turned off by itself.
Check whether it works for you or not.
I purchased a Xperia X Compact SO-02J off of Craigslist for use on T-Mobile in the US. It mostly works, except it won't connect to my LTE CellSpot (the one that connects to your home network). I was wondering if anyone had successfully flashed the US or UK rom on to a Japanese NTT Docomo version of the phone. I searched but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance.
I'm afraid there's no one way for moded a Xperia SO-02J
The bootloader is totally locked, and it won't allowed us for unlock the bootloader. That's a dead-end.

Hi Guys,
I'm almost happy user of XPZ. I bought non-branded version G1842 dual. I want to use VoLTE(and WiFiCalling if possible) on my handset. My operator Orange PL supporting VoLTE but only on Iphones and branded firmwares for Android phones.
Sony support/service refuse to flash my phone with Orange firmware - so I would need to do this alone but official Orange firmware is available only for single sim XPZ G8141.
Question - can I seftly flash G8142 with G8141 firmware? Or do you know that maybe VoLTE operator configuration is kept in one of sin files like modem_X-FLASH-ALL-42E5.sin and I could just swap one file in whole firmware folder?
Secondly VoLTE - I send email to operator and they replay that configuration of VoLTE is many settings/parameters inside firmware. Besides *#*#4636#*#* option VoLTE provisioning I didn't see any configuration for this service. The config is so deeply inside firmware? When I switch ON this option in that menu it's not saved and when I enter once again the menu is one again switched off.
What I saw most of the VoLTE arround globe have problem - that they need to use branded firmware. Do you think in the future it would change? As far as I check for Iphone it works on all - it's relevant it's branded or non-branded phone.
best regards,
Piotr
I'm in Sweden and VoLTE got enabled for me when I switched carrier. I didn't do anything but switch SIM. I had a Z5 Premium at the time and now I'm on a XZ Premium and VoLTE is enabled as default.
And standard Nordic Combined firmware, no carrier lock.
Piotr, i think with DS version of device you are out of luck. There is no european provider specific modem configuration(required for volte) available for the dual sim device. I have attached available configurations in the zip file.
To get single sim modem configuration files flashed to device, you need to flash system.sin, but i STRONGLY DO NOT recommend doing that. Potential brick on your way.
Mixing flashing the single sim and dual sim different .sin files is highly experimental.
If you really want VoLTE then i think less headache is if you can find a person who is willing to switch single sim version with you.
You can get any region G8141 and then flash https://xpericheck.com/cda/1308-7002
Phone needs load configuration amss_fsg_maple_orange_poland_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn to get VoLTE and VoWIFI.
Checking current oem.sin file, i can see that when inserting Orange PL sim, then amss_fsg_maple_orange_poland_ims_tar.mbn is actually loaded.
Is the XZ Premium on confirmed VoLTE devices list on Orange Poland webpage?
Hello, any news in this thread? I have the same situation but with XZ1. I have nonbranding dual sim working on T-Mobile PL. They sell XZ1 only single sim, so there is only single SIM firmware from T-Mobile. Someone test flashing single SIM firmware for dual SIM XZ/XZ1 Xperia?
Should be same situation as with xz premium. flash single sim fw via newflasher and you are done. will lose 2nd sim but otherwise should be good.
Please Read different topics to know how other users have done it to xz premium dual sim.

Are dual sim variants of xz1 and xzp installed with the required 4x4mimo hardware antennas?
Just flashed XZ1 DUAL with XZ1 SINGLE firmware. Everything work at this time fine and VoLTE and VoWIFI are working from the start!

All functions with single sim firmware work properly?
Phone now reports as g8341 (singles sim) to the mobile carrier?
What does now show in the model number of your device menu?

I send you PM with screenshot. All functions work well from 8 hours. NFC, VoLTE, VoWIFI, caliing, messaging, LTE, 3G etc, no problem with anything at this moment.
In system information stay now G8341, and naturally i lost second SIM in menu.

Why dual sim are sold cheaper then singlesim? Which country?
I bought XZP in presale and price for non-brand and brand at telcos was the same. For me I was thinking it's benefit because I get dual sim and "clean" FW.
I suppose that Sony (and also Samsung) don't care about this....I hope that carrier services app in android recently added by Google would be the way to update settings for operators for all headsets. Like apple does. That would solve that configuration....
Only when small file missing and and lot of issues with VoLTE and VoWiFi.

Maybe single and dual sim are exactly the same HW? and when you load DS FW into SS version you will get DS? anyway 2sim share slot with SD ...maybe Sony simply manufacturing process?

To confirm files like amss_fsg_maple_orange_poland_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn are kept in which file? oem_X-FLASH-ALL-42E5.sin or modem_X-FLASH-ALL-42E5.sin ?
This file are modem configuration so it should be more in modem.sin but you mention that you check oem.sin for that maple config?
Is 100% configuration of VoLTE are kept in amss_fsg_maple_orange_poland_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn ?
In 20 minutes I would also try to flash XZP like rav.6 with XZ1 to check that solution. And let all know.

oem.sin only includes instructions which configuration(.mbn) to load.
all configuration are universally available in system.sin

I can confirm. Solution by rav.6 is working also on XZP with Orange firmware Poland.
I see now options for VoLTE and VoWiFi and VoLTE are enable but not working
I don't know why

In T-Mobile I have activated VoLTE and VoWIFI by sending message to T-Mobile. I don't know how it looks in Orange, but i think you must activate it first.

Generic modem/radio needed files, which are needed for the modem to work. Identical in every region firmware.
Hello guys need help,
Im on nougat version of docomo. Im planning to flash to global version. But i got a bad xperience with my previous phone (z1 compact) which is its nfc not working after i flash it to global rom. Since this is new xperia phone, will my nfc still work after i flash it to global rom?
Any one from docomo version ever try it?
