Yes! My phone came with UK unbranded firmware and flashed the German unbranded 2 days ago. Works like a charm! Actually I highly recommend doing that ASAP cause the UK firmware is known for getting released 2 weeks later after a new firmware gets rolled out! So you don't have to worry about waiting for future updates...

Yes I flashed to the new German update from .55 in Canada and works well.

If I unlock my bootloader, will that wipe the data off the phone?
Edit: actually do I need to unlock bootloader to install the latest firmware?
thanks
Yes. unlocking bootloader will wipe the data on the device, so DO BACKUP.
And no. You don't need to Unlock BL to flash Stock ROM. Only to flash custom kernels and ROMs and which is not even always the case
Thanks mate - so flashing a stock ROM won't wipe my phone?
Sorry for the N00B questions, I've always had a Nexus, now jumped ship to Xperia
Thanks again
