Small update 8/3.
My phone:
Device:
Sony T3 s55u dual-sim LTE
China Unicom version
19.2.1.A.0.72
Phone was bought from China. Pre-installed sony come with Baidu search enabled android and by default phone block installation of Google Services app, which enable google apps to function in the phone.
This is pretty useless for any English speaker so I want to install Android Lollipop - Cyanogen.
It turns out that Sony has decided not to support this version for lollipop - xperiablog - 2015/03/06
I have also realized that this is probably same hardware (or very close) to C3 Dual model in english speaking markets. I trust that same ROM would work in both of these two simcard phones.
Currently Sony's unlockbootloader software does not regognize these models in their website - developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
I've tried to root with:
- Sony's unlockbootloader
- rootkitxperia
All above fails. Phone should allow rooting according to settings. It seems very hard to find any instructions on how to do upgrade successfully.
Any advice/update much appreciated.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Also relevant for Sony C3 forums..
Is the model (T3 Dual) I discuss here same as C3 Dual?

Not Sure. It is probably same model, made for Chinese market as a C3.
Hi Guys,
I am not from India & I'm looking for information on the India variant. I have e-mailed honor India and got information that looks different from what I have seen online.
From looking at an online seller of the 7x in India, the model number they show is the BND-AL10 version (32GB Version), however the response I received from Honor was the version sold in India is - Honor 7x >> Bond-L22B (32GB) = BND-L22 (which is the same as gsmarena info). From what I have seen online, the box says BND-AL10.
- On the device itself under the ''About Phone'' section what does the model number say? Is it the same on the box and the about phone section, BND-AL10?
Also while reading on this site, the BND-AL10 version is also the Chinese variant, so do the phones that are sold in either country receive OTA'S on similar timelines? I'm guessing the one sold in India is configured for the market, google, etc
- On the version sold in India, does it have a lot of pre-loaded app's that are native for the India region and can it be uninstalled?
- Can OTA updates be received when outside of India or are OTA updates dependent on having an active India sim card in?
- If OTA'S are not received when the device is out of India, can it be loaded manually & how so?
Thanks in advance
Any assistance from the Honor experts from india? Or anyone with info. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks*
My device shows bnd-al10, in retail box and in about phone section too.
Yes it has some pre loaded apps but most of them ar uninstallable.(truecaller, facebook, ucbrowser and some games)
Ota update does not depend of sim card, you will get the update when a update for Indian variant is released. Independent upon where you are.
You can update manually if you can't wait for the update to be released for your variant by using firmware finder app. (Instructions are given in that app)

Thanks for the info
In terms of the OTA updates, honor india response was that i will not receive any OTA once the device was out of india, which I found strange. Hence i thought maybe it was about having an active sim. I believe your answer makes sense but not sure why they said no. If OTA's for example do not come to the device, is there a way of installing it manually?
In regards to updates, i have seen on the site that they have a software page, how would one go about updating from their page? Load the file on a sd, etc.. any link for the process to follow?
Sorry for the many questions, still new to this.
Thanks

Maybe as Suggested in the thread is to try updating with the firmware finder app and see if that works since you haven't received updates as yet?
If you do use the app, kindly give some feedback on how the updating went. Thanks
Apologies, duplicate reply

Whats wrong with this
Hi there,
im from Germany and buy me a new XA1 Plus from Sony.
I setup all things to do on a new phone also check up for updates too.
But the OS says: No Updates there.
Version now is: Android 7
Build: 48.0.A.1.131
Did somebody know whats the Problem there? Could i do something to solve this Problem? Android 8 is one of the reasons to buy this Phone.
Thx in forward.
I downloaded the xperifirm tool to check the firmware versions of this Modell and regions.
The Central European model seems to be the only one that has not received updates for months.

Well, Not all regions receive updates check for your region related updates also you can try up Xperia Companion to check for updates or simply perform device repair it will re-download OS and flash it back to device this may work or additionally you can use some third party tools to flash the other region ROM which has OREO update to be out.

Thx for reply.
the repair function of the Sony companion software gives me the same old firmware. I gave it up that ever an updated firmware for the XA1 plus Central Europe 1 comes. I sent the phone back and bought an XA2. This is a bit more handy, but otherwise has the better hardware and a current firmware.
HI all,
Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the firmware from xperifirm for Android Pie? H8314 model, ideally NZ region but I will consider whatever anyone has.
Wanting to flash my xz2 compact back to Android Pie. I found a copy on the forums but it's a UK H8324 52.0.A.11.32.R2B copy and I'm not sure if this will cause any issues later.
My old handset was on 52.0.A.3.27 before it died and Sony sent me a replacement instead.... would be nice if I can get something similar to that firmware version.
Thanks in advance!
through Xperifirm?
