[ INFO/FIRMWARE ] Firmware 23.0.1.A.3.12 + Root + Recovery - Xperia Z2 General

Finally!!
After using 2 days of reading and learning, I`ve got the latest firmware (23.0.1.A.3.12) from Taiwan rooted and with recovery working flawless.
And when "I" is beeing mentioned, ALL credits goes to: DooMLorD, [NUT], Phil3759, bin4ry, geohot and several others!
** DOWNLOAD: hxxps://mega.co.nz/#F!Lh422LgQ!qz_DQnBKzoXVTRTwx05Clw
** BEWARE: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS ARE NOT COMPLETE, YOU GOT TO READ THE README!
Sadly, the changelog for this firmware is missing all over internet, but there is definitly some APN / Carrier update and it contains some minor bugsfixes.
The device System UI also seems to be a bit smoother.

I think this update just to fix some issues of mobile signal of Taiwan's carriers, and some bloatware. I compared files' size in both of 167 and 3.12 firmware, seem nothing is changed.

noob questions
installing this, gonna delete wipe my cell ?

how do i root it ive already installed it through ota update.

no major update, its only a small carrier update.

Has anybody successfully rooted using this? Feel like there should be a bit more fanfare.....

P600 - Kitkat is rolling out in Germany

Ha! And it only took 5 months until the first 4.4 update in the US was released.
Don't know which version it is yet, but the update has 579 MB. I'm currently downloading it and will report the version as soon as I have installed it.
Something went wrong I downloaded the file and tried to install it, but after the Reset it said that the Firmware update could not be installed, I should try with PC (Kies). I connected to Kies but no new firmware was found. I tried to update OTA again, but it said that the newest firmware is already installed (it's still the old one)
I don't know if Samsung removed the OTA update again or my tablet has some issues. I'll wait for other German users to report.
No problem here, even after restart no problems.....

I actually can't believe we have it in the UK!!
Cheers for letting me know @thomlh ... I have auto updates off incase its a duff update as I suffered problems with the last S3 update before they went back and stopped coz the S3 updates had loads of issues. I was stuck with a paper weight for a week.
Is it running smoothly?
P.s. create a new thread for UK update as I dont want to take credit for telling people - that way we can talk about any issues with the update for UK users.
I tried the update a second time this morning and now it worked. Great!

Could you please put G920FXXU1AOCW and the release date in the thread title? "New software" leaves us no clue as to what you are taking about.
Tried to ota and nothing. Hope this is a fix for the few issues this phone is having.

Do you have the International version or the T-Mobile version? This software looks to be for the International version (920F)
Definately for the international SM-G920F.

Please report back what is listed in the fixes, date listed, what you notice. Thanks.
I think there is going to be a lot of updates rolling out. There are a lot of little things that need corrected.
I thought G920I was international model

I may be wrong but I am somewhat sure that it is a hardware issue. A new phone solved my issues and some others. See my other posts for more information.
Exactly which post ?

Yes you can flash it.
I installed G930FXXS1APG3 and Samsung camera can't save to sdcard. (Other apps can save fine in /Android/data/app name) Can someone confirm this please?

I downloaded the firmware yesterday and haven't had any issues. My camera is saving to SD card just fine. And I have no way to prove this but the phone feels less laggy on the web. Don't know if that was part of the update or just happened with the rebuilding of all the app caches on first boot.
Edit:scratch that, T-Mobile pushed out a firmware yesterday too but it was APG1, not APG3. Sorry
Who can tell me what's new in this rom? Thanks

There isnt anything really changed except for the latest security patch. I have however, moved to the Netherlands Firmware as they are getting the latest quicker. The latest update is G930FXXS1APG4 with a build date on July 4th.

I was wondering how do I find out what country code my phone is? because I have a SM-G930F using it on t-mobile but I'm still on the june patch

Yes, you are correct. I don't really see a difference as long as you use the HOME CSC when installing the Full Download version. I originally put the TMB version on my phone as it came out weeks in advance of TLS but did install the TLS version once it came out.

That might be a question for someone more in the know... I have been flashing my phones since the S2 and never had any issues so I am not sure what the effect would be if you are correct. When I flash my phones back to TLS using ODIN, I still get OTA updates. Maybe that is because I only buy factory unlocked phones, I don't buy from carriers.
