[HOW-TO] Convert L55U [UNICOM] to D6633

Hello guys ..
how are you all .. ??
hope you all fine ..
today i'm gonna tell you how to convert your Xperia Z3 (L55u) unicom edition to D6633 ..
what is the benefit of doing that .. ??
after converting your l55u to d6633 you will have an international Z3 edition without any Chinese apps and easy to root ..
also you will receive OTA ..
Notes ..
1. This works only for L55U ..
2. Disable Anti-Virus ..
3. Battery should be at least 50% ..
PLEASE PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
Let's Start ..
1. Download this package ..
>>>D6633 + FlashTool<<<
which contains latest D6633 FTF and Flashtool (Portable) ..
NOTE: you can download your preferred FlashTool and FTF file from anywhere you want.
2. Extract files and copy FlashTool folder to C:\ ..
3. Now go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and run "Flashtool-drivers.exe" and install drivers ..
4. Copy FTF file to "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" then run Flashtool.exe ..
5. Click on the Lightning mark from the left and choose Flashmode ..
6. Now you will see a new window which contains your FTF info .. don't change anything and click FLASH ..
7. Wait a few seconds before you see a new window with instructions of how to connect your device ..
8. Now turn off your phone and press Volume Down + Connect USB and wait for Flashing to start ..
9. Once Flashing is done .. disconnect your phone and power it on and have fun with your international edition of Z3 ..
>>>>>DONE<<<<<
i hope this guide is helpful for someone ..
Regards.

Any chance for something like this with the tmous version?
What are the differences between the unicom and unlocked international? Any hardware differences?
Sean

you could try with D6653 FTF ..
>>but you do that at your own risk ..
and there is no hardware differences between L55U and D6633.

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question but when do I connect the phone? I assume during step 4?
Thanks for the guide! It's just what I was looking for

My bad....
Thanks!

Another possibly stupid question...
I am unable to download and install the drivers from the flashtool, according the the Xperia software, everything is up to date but when I use the flashtool-drivers application it just tells me it has failed and it won't let me flash it without them.
Is there something I am overlooking?
Thanks
edit:
nm, fixed. Needed to change driver permissions on windows 8

Generic Firmware Xperia Z5 / Flashtool

Hi,
i need the Generic DE Firmware for my Xperia Z5 but can't find it anywhere here in the forums or elsewhere.
Since I use Mac I can't get XperiFirm installed into Flashtool.
Can somebody either help me with a download link for the Firmware or help me with XperiFirm
Thanks in advance

I can get the Customized DE firmware for the E6653, which is generic, but I can't upload the file, it's too large (2GB+)
No clue how to use a mac so can't help there.
You got somewhere for me to upload the ftf file if I create it?

Have you considered running Windows in a VM on your Mac? This is how I use XperiFirm... Parallels Desktop works great.

I believe it's strictly down to some regional apps, not carrier based but locale based.

Here's a link to XPERIA Z5 E6653, 32.0.A.5.12 firmware for anyone still searching.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1AAC4lt7nzOMVlTWmRhQl93WDg/view
Tutorial for flashing here: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/123-sony-xperia-z5-e6653
It stalled for about 5 minutes on "system.sin" but it eventually finished. Be patient and don't panic while flashing!

Which one is it? German? Generic EU?

Here... Generic EU

Just to be sure, flashing a generic rom on a carrier one don't wipe the DRM keys ?

No, unlocking bootloader wipes DRM keys.

Z5 flashtool drivers
Hi... I'm on the version 32.0.A.6.152 and I'm trying to install the version 32.0.A.6.209. I got it form Xperifirm (E6603_32.0.A.6.209_1300-4290_R4B.ftf) for My Z5 E6603.
But i don't have the flashtool driver for Z5. I already installed the flashtool xperia driver pack v1.8 but didn't works.

Just a word on etiquette: the thread you're replying to has nothing to do with your problem. You should make your own thread in this case.
I believe I used the Sony drivers to make flashtool work.

Hello, .209 does not support fingerprint scanner.
And about the drivers, they are located inside the flashtool folder.

Eh. Anyone have the EU generic ones?. The links are broken

hello there mate, thanks for this rom, but just a question, does it already have an xposed installer app already? because it state in the features, but after trying to flash the baltic version, i cant find the xposed app.

Hello, I recently bought a Z2 D6503 on Android 6.0.1 Stock 23.5.A.0.575. I know I must unlock the bootloader and so on, but can you please provide me with the thread/topic or anything that explains how to use the zip files you provided? I've downloaded the France Customized version.
Thank you in advance !

Actually, You don't need to unlock your bootloader, all you do have to do is downgrade to a firmware that has an exploit, for example 23.1.A.1.28. Once you downgrade to this firmware with flashtool you can use a tool that will root your device. Here is more info: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-xperia-z3-z2-android-5-0-2-firmware-build-23-1-28-1509398
Here is a guide on how to downgrade: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
When you open Xperifirm and select your device download the Vodafone NL, which luckily still has the 23.1.A.1.28 firmware!
Also when when you create your ftf don't include the fsc script!

Mohamed

Let me have a check on the files in the zip!
EDIT: IT SHOULD WORK JUST FINE, CHECK YOUR /SYSTEM FOLDER WITH A ROOT EXPLORER AND CHECK IF THE APK IS THERE...

Could u do UKversion,open network,but slimmed down,with only Google play store no sony apps and nobloatware?

Apparently the app I use to create the pre-rooted zip didn't properly incorporate the apk flashing procedure, so, I will be making a zip for the Xposed app, so you can flash it manually!

Maybe if you consider a rebrand it would open
the possibility to upgrade to android 7.
But it will cost (4 euros) for unlocking the bootloader,
you'll have to search the proper oeminfo file and
the correct firmware... it's not simple nor impossible
and I can't guarantee for this ...
choise remain yours.
