Hi, the firmwares available for download on lolinet is RETASIA whereas the current software channel on my phone is showing as RETIN. Are they both the same, i.e. applicable for India Dual Sim Moto Z Play ?
Don't know about other but use the retin. I was on stock firmware
when I tried to downgrade to marshmallow and ended up with a soft brick. Installed Russian firmware (I believe it is) which is also retin and my phone is working fine now.

Hi,
I would like to go back to KK on my Z1C. I don't have the latest KK .157 Firmware anywhere. I now saw that Xperifirm does not offer to download that Version anymore for my customization. I usually use the generic DE or UK files. Is there a way to get to those old firmware files through Xperifirm or by some other way?
I could not find a generic .157 DE or UK file. I could use that as well.
Kind regards
Philipp
I wanna know this too.
Xperifirm use official Sony servers to download firmwares. But Sony remove old firmwares from its servers.
But, some old firmwares with a different customization (region/country/operator) could be downloaded with Xperifirm, just sort a list of firmwares by a version.

You are wrong, look to the attached screenshot. You should select D5503 phone model, after that press "Check all" button and then XperiFirm finish to update firmwares list you should sort the list by "Latest Release" field and you will see older firmware. For example, 14.4.A.0.157 is the Android 4.4.4 based firmware.

Yes and no. I agree you can see some 14.4.A.0157 but not for all regions, only for some strange one, which did not release update yet. If you want to have for your own region, like in my case eastern Europe I can only download the latest one
So ...?

The only way to download old firmware I found on sony site xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/46-sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503
you can find also diffrrent models as well there
good luck
@oilman67, of course you can download old formwares from different sites, but my answer was about possibility of downloading of old firmwares from official Sony servers with XperiFirm tool.
And as I say later
some old firmwares with a different customization (region/country/operator) could be downloaded with Xperifirm, just sort a list of firmwares by a version.

You could use firmwares for different countries/operators in your country without any problem, just choose your native language. For example, now I use in Russia phone from Japan with a firmware customized for Japan operator NTT DoCoMo.
On xperiablog[dot]net[slash]forum[slash]resources[slash]categories[slash]xperia-z5-compact.95[slash]
you can find some older, but not all
Recently acquired one X5P Dual from Amazon France and the model received was the E6833. (would have preferred the E6883). As I am in Europe, I don't think it's a big deal not having the additional TDD LTE bands. I currently have firmware 32.0.A.6.170. I know that there is a more recent firmware around. Why am I not getting the latest firmware. Device says my firmware is up to date!
I'm in the UK btw.
Thanks in advance.
Just had a look on XperiaFirm and that is the latest version of firmware for either of the dual variants (E6833 or E6883) with the exception of the chinese E6883 being on .209 rather than .170.
I wouldn't worry as it's likely that the minor firmware upgrade was for bug fixes relating to the non-dual variant, otherwise they would all have it. Likewise you could peruse the forum to see if any users have flashed the .200 firmware to their E6833 device to see if they have experienced any ill-effects. I can't say I've noticed any difference between .170 and .200 on my E6853 (non-dual).
Interestingly the Japanese version is running 32.0.B.0.443 / R6B, whereas the full version number for the E68xx devices is 32.0.A.6.200... Don't know what the difference is between these firmwares...

A cursory google shows that 32.0.B.xxx is still Android 5.1.1 so probably a network specific firmware for Japanese UMTS networks.
The latest firmware for the Sony z5 / z5p line should be coming out some time in February from what i've heard. They getting ready to push out the Marshmallow 6.0 soon.
Not willing to try a flash on my new z5P Dual
No long for next firmware
Thanks guys!
I bought mine Z2 from Banggood and the only thing I can remember of the stock was that it was in English. I unlocked the bootloader installed twrp and flashed cosmic rom as soon as the battery charged up.
I did made a backup of stock but it got corrupted somehow when I tried to restore it showed an error so i just deleted it.
I would like to know so I can flash a newer stock firmware to update my baseband in hope of getting lte to work on tmobiles usa network. I'm currently only getting hspa plus.
My current baseband is 9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1
Also is there a recovery flashable baseband zip out there?
I think the Chinese Version has the ZUK Logo on the Back and the Indian the Lenovo one.
To check if your Z2 can get LTE, check its baseband and the lte bands of your isp.

Because Banggood and so on sells the Phone with a Shop ROM which has google play services installed but no ota and stuff like tjis.
You got the Chinese Version butyou can flash the Indian Version doesn't matter
Just see the box.
If It has chinese character on front and side it's a chinese version. Otherside if It has only english character is an indian one.

It is not possible, you have to install pie rom of your own model, check out xperifirm for your model's pie update..
Is flashing an unlocked SM-901U (at&t) to SM-901E (India) possible?

Usually no as Us devices have different Chipsets than most other countries
Even if chipset is same, you can't flash different model no firmware on Samsung except U to U1.
