Hi!
I tried to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.58 from the 15i, but with that i get no service and the screen is acting funny.
Is there a 4.0.2.A.0.58 ftf ready for R800i? I read about better Battery Life in the 58, so i want to give it a try.
Greetings
MrMmmkay
Have you tried flashing it with WotanServer? Seems that version is available on there
Ok, i see. Wotan Server is new for me, but i can choose the 58 , just downloading.

Hi mate can you please teatch me what is that Wotanserver i've my Xperia Play rooted an can´t install OTA my phone is operator locked and i'm from Portugal tried old firmwares give me a lot of headackes and i've to go back to old firmare 2.3.4
compilation 4.1.A.0.283 this is the one i've and works fine portuguese keyboard with all the accents etc. is there anyone o please have new firmware and tell me if it is values the pain in the ass to erase all the data ? what are the improvements for portuguese version... sorry to be such a noob but i prefer to have my play working like this than have an international keyboard for portuguese (no accent's, dicitonary bla bla) anyone from Portugal have the new firmware instaled help me?
i've got engough for having the message nem firmware available and when download it EIF go to install and says can't install.... F****
sorry for my english and keep on XDA Forum. Sony Ericsson should learn with XDA Team and all the people that help !!!!
I think that the only .58 firmware out right now is for Hong Kong at least it was when I checked yesterday
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
There are many languages in the HK Firmware to, so this shouldt work .
It seems i cant use the Wotan files. There seems to be no way to convert the Wotan Files to use with Flashtool.
I dont want to wipe my Userdata, so i have to use the Flashtool, on Wotan there is no Option to disable wiping Userdata as far as i know .
So, is their a Flastool ready ftf File for R800i anywhere?
So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
I'm looking for a nordic version of the form for xperia play.
I'm going to sell my baby and I want to bloat it with region specific apps .
I've found this post:

But the links dead. Do anyone have another one. Dosen't care if the firm is old. I can update OTA afterward.
Sincerely
Hi all,
I'm new here, I stumbled across your site when I was looking for some info on how to debrand my xperia z1 compact that's coming from o2 Ireland. I want to get rid of all the o2 branding and bloadware stuff on it and have it as a clean phone.
I saw the tutorial that has been posted up on xperiablog about unbranding an xperia Z using flashtool, seems straightforward enough.
But I don't know what the correct fw version I need to flash it with, and if it's even here to download?
Like I said, the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone and locked to o2 Ireland too.
Can anyone help me, point me in the right direction? I'm totally new to this and don't want to mess up my phone!
Thanks
Any in the resource thread.

Can you point me in the right direction to the one I need? There's lots of different versions and I'm not sure what is the latest one and what one I need for my country? Like I said the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone, so what version firmware I need, that's what I'm not sure about.
Is there a main European version firmware? or do I use the UK one? I'm just looking for the OFFICIAL stock firmware that hasn't been altered in any way.

Great, thanks so much for your help.
Just a few more questions before I do this...
This fw contains the latest android software right? And if I install this fw and the phone is locked to o2 Ireland, it will still be locked after I install the latest original stock fw? I'm not sure if it unlocks the phone too if I get rid of the network providers software that's already on the phone right now.

Kind of obvious, I get not wanting to break your Phone but that's just what you will do if you don't read things properly.

Fastest and safest way to remove bloat is as follows:

3. Freeze all bloatware.

One of our Chineese suppliers has gifted me a New Fold 3. The issue is the stock Chinese Rom, or rather the restrictions that come with it (nerfing most google based services, and apps i use all the time.). The device is great but restrictions applied give you a feeling of a second class android user, with core sevices absent: Play store, youtube, gmail, maps, chrome, android auto., can't even apporve family link download requests from kids. etc. etc.
I have made the choice i would rather go back to my S21 if i can't resovle this issue, as phone is useless like this.
Advice required on Loading Australian Rom via odin.
The phone model is: SM-F9260 which only seems to have overseas Rom available for download. Can i successfully load a ROM made for model SM-F926B (Australian) on a SM-F9260?
All the how to guides specifically say jou must select the same model number, and i don't want a brick it. Will have mud on my face next time i see the supplier if i have bricked their gift to me.
Any feedback/advice from users with more experience with odin and flashing would be appreciated.
Both are on Snapdragon CPU so shouldn't be any problem to flash it with PIT over the Odin.
But I never done it so I can't give you 100% answer.

Update: The AU version gave me an Auth Failed in Odin. Chances i could have resovled by unlocking the Bootloader which i didn't want to risk tripping the e-fuse. I ended up just using the Taiwan version which had the identical model number, and falls in the same region as China. Odin flashed without complaint. The taiwan version has no restrictions on google services, and once you set the language its hard to tell it from a regular AU one; unless you know what you are looking for that is.

Technically there are ways, just it is very grey as to when/how you trip the e-fuse. Some say if you simply unlock the bootloader and restart, others say when you load a bootloader that doesn't match model numbers, or is older than your current, or isn't offical samsung one. I personally don't know exactly. I do however know that i didn't trip the e-fuse when i loaded the taiwan version, and i didn't have to unlock the bootloader in developer options to achevie this.

nope. I've tried. unlocked bootloader still won't allow you to flash variant

oh. Good to know. Just wondering..Did you trip your e-fuse? If so when did it happen? Did you try extracting the PIT file from the CSC and using the PIT tab in odin? with the re-parition option selected?

you won't have the chance to trip. there is some check before the boot image is integrated. so it failed showing some error, auth or secure check failed etc etc.
if you flash variant home csc you will trip
TBH, I consider the Chinese version is the best version above all other region. The dual sim is enable on Chinese version, 512GB is the only available option.
As for google service. You don't need to change the Chinese firmware to Australian to enable it, the GMS is pre-installed. All you need to do is to find a way to install the google series apps as apk by yourself, it would work just fine.

BTW, the only version that Chinese region Fold 3 can change is the HongKong firmware, all other regions are not available. If you use Chinese region Fold 3 in Australia, the only thing you need to concern is the Samsung Pay, but Samsung Pay is fixed by the region and cannot be changed by switching the regional firmware.

Each to their own, if you like the chinese version great. I hated it, restrictions in every aspect of the firmware. I personally am unsure how you rate the chinese version better, when it is loaded with restrictions and hard coded settings that can't be changed, or if they can it is really a sub par workaround. Settings that are not present in standard android builds. What exactly does it have extra that makes it better? If you like it thou that is all that matters.
I loaded the taiwan version which yes is really just the hong kong version. No restrictions, no issues. Now it works just like any other standard samsung android build, you get in AU. Yes samsung pay that use the firmware version doesn't work great, but i prefer google pay anyway. No need to stuff around with downloading apk files from third party sites, for core functions. No need to even enable developer tools.
The chinese version sounds like driving a ferrari on a go karting track.....
Can you flash the Chinese or any international dual sim version to work in the US ?
