You can find a pretty work for JB .211 (FTF and .zip) from HTCManía by our partner @Kiamu (all credits for him):
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=619567
Yep, .211 is a regional patch. It isn't available in Europe or America... an probably never will, but is a generic version. You can use without any problem.
What do you mean by regional patch?
is volume up really broken?

It is only for that region and patches the wifi issue only. Not that hard to understand, is it?

No, in this case regional means exactly that. It's for a set group of countries within a certain area of the world that was experiencing an issue with wifi.
The only fix in .211 is the wifi bug so if you're not experiencing it then you'll have nothing to gain from flashing. Nothing to lose either mind you.

Now, would you call Middle East and Africa a region? I would, and apparently, so would Sony.
It doesn't really matter what you think or what I think, for that matter, fact is, Sony released this patch only for a certain region.
Half the world, which is not this case, but let's roll with it, is a region, no matter whose definition we take.
Will we get a patch for the lingering bugs the rest of the world (let's call them other regions) still have? Maybe, I like to think so.

It's not that Sony doesn't care... it's just that these regions weren't experiencing the wifi issue. The same happened with .50 and .55 on ICS... those firmware updates contained minor bug fixes that some users were experiencing, but for example, the latest update for my phone before JB was .45 because I wasn't experiencing those same bugs.
As someone else has said there will be another bug fix on it's way that will likely be rolled out to ALL the regions in the world. It's not that difficult to understand, but if you really absolutely must have the latest latest firmware (even though in this case .211 will be out-dated in a couple weeks) you can flash the MEA .211 ftf. Your phone will most likely still work in exactly the same way, you just won't have your region, or a World Generic firmware running on it.
Personally, and for most others I assume, it's not worth the hassle as you won't gain anything from it. If it's not broken don't fix it.

I suspect that Wi-Fi was only broken in the MEA customization of .200, which is why only that one got the .211 update. Otherwise, as soon as someone with .200 from a different region took their mobile phone (they clue is in the name( to the Middle East, they would get the Wi-Fi problem too. I've not seen any reports to that effect (and I'd hope that Sony would be wise to it anyway...)
The other thing to bear in mind is that, apart from some tweaks to the bands available in different regions (eg the US doesn't allow bands above 11 on 2.4GHz), Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi wherever you go. So the problem was much more likely to be due to specific regional differences in MEA (my guess is that it was something to do with the baseband for that region, since AIUI the problem was that Wi-Fi didn't work when cellular radio was active).
So in summary: other regions didn't need the update because the customizations of .200 for those regions didn't have the specific problem that .211 fixed.
I'd love to know more about this update rumoured to be coming in July, if anyone has any reliable information about it.

Changes I've noticed:
-Much better battery life. Standby time specially.
-Different folder icons, with previews
-Timescape stopped temp freezing for me, which it did a lot in 2.3.3
-Nice new smooth screen-off/on animation
-Finally you can turn off the auto adjustment of the screen brightness!!
-You can now take a screenshot when holding down the power button
-Supposedly the "pressing back button triggers multiple times bug" has been fixed
Overall I'm getting a much better experience with 2.3.4.
oh i see. so i see u.k then. its a million miles away here in Philippines. I bet it is following Magellan's route or maybe. It is temporarily resting in Iceland. What an update.

Did they just release it in Mexico? Last night I was reading some Sony Ericsson Mexico comments on facebook and the rep was saying we'd get it on November (and I added a couple of months for the carrier bloatware).
I'd try but I don't want to loose my PSXperia games I guess I can hook it up and check for update (without really updating) just to confirm here.
Edit: it says I'm up to date on 2.3.3, we didn't even get the 4.0 update either.

Hi! im also from the Philippines and im also using Xperia play (just last week, got it from sulit.com )
anyway, there's already a 2.3.4 firmware, check out the development threads,
after that you can use DoomLord's kernel for better use and clocks.
You can just delete the removable bloatware (there's also a thread like this I think)
after,
Enjoy your play!
Yes Sri Lanka. BTW is there any improvement on the camara side? Cz I got No 3d panorama or HD video

Cool. I will look into that. Phil here too.
Looks like there is an update (10.1.1.A.1.253) available here in the US for my ZL (C6506) through PC companion. Here is the changelog:
1.Enhanced user experience
2.Improved battery life
3.Software performance enhancements
Notification bar & dock color has been changed to black (from gray). That's all I have noticed so far. I'll need to see if the mediaserver battery drain issue has been fixed or not.
Update (May 17,2013) : After using the phone on the new FW for two days, I'm quite happy with the improved battery life. Mediaserver had the highest battery usage (> 40%) on my previous build. Now it's down to 5% ! Camera shots look a bit better - still there is room for improvement. Hopefully, Sony will improve it further in the future. - great job, keep it up, Sony
where did you get this info?
What firmware version do you currently have ?
I would like to know what build number you were coming from and which provider as well? I have a ZL rogers (C6506) as well and i don't see any updates
I have not received it on my 6503 with nordic fw yet.
Sent from my C6503 using xda premium
My model is C6506 which is one of the two unlocked models available in the US (Other one is C6502). My build was 10.1.A.1.434 prior to the update. The update is available through PC companion (not OTA)

also they've added a mini chrome browser to the small apps list, sweet, in addition to some graphics fix ups, and im sure some other stuff
I've just plugged and nothing showed up on pc companion..it says I got the last updated firmware but it could take a couple of days to appear on every region after the official launching.

Mine is unlocked, bought on ebay, think it is originally from Malaysia?
I'm in the US, PC companion isn't showing the update yet...soon I hope

Hello there.
I'm about to receive one of these from Gearbest, and from what I've read, it's likely that it will come with WW software but the device itself it's the CN version.
I already have bookmarked the tutorial to flash everything to WW, but my doubt is, what about LTE bands? Is it really possible to unlock all bands? How?
Is there anything anyone can recommend for this device regarding roms and mods?
Thank you in advance.
I know that the question may be a little noob-ish, or even a bit stupid (I don't know), but please, can anyone help?
its seems that nobody have this phone. Im going to buy one in aliexpress, it looks like a great phone but, without suport.

No need to be ironic man, I have my fair share of XDA experience, I just never came across a region-specific device that inspite having the same hardware worldwide, doesn't have all network frequencies available on every baseband... What I asked basically was, is it really possible to have all LTE bands available on a CN device, and secondly, based on users experience here, is there any rom, kernel or mod that you can recommend...

Mine is from Gearbest, it's not a fake, but the problem is... They only sell the CN version of the Zenfone, and what they do to sell it to Euro users is flash the WW version of the firmware but they don't convert the device fully. Anyway, for 123 euros is still not a bad deal, considering its the 4gb ram version.
Thanks for your help
Hi guys,
I will get very soon my first china handy - the Mate 20 X - 8 GB / 256 GB - china version.
Now I read that Saturn / Mediamarkt will bring the Mate 20 X to Germany. Therefore I expect that an international / European version is on the way.
Is it possible to flash the china version with this international one?
No idea til now.

I know only the china version can be unlocked and just now I saw this news
https://9to5google.com/2018/11/15/google-android-pie-project-treble-expectations/
Highlighted text from Google
"Going forward, all devices launching with Android 9 Pie or later will be Treble-compliant and take full advantage of the Treble architecture to deliver faster upgrades. Thanks to Treble, we expect to see more devices from OEMs running Android 9 Pie at the end of 2018 as compared to the number of devices that were running Android Oreo at the end of 2017."
What this means is that, whether Huawei likes it or not, Pie is already treble ready and there's a good chance that we are able to flash aosp on the device.
