That's not generic UK. I've tried it and the cda is different and it comes with French apps installed.
Here you go D6503_17.1.A.2.55_EURO_LTE.ftf

I'm currently using the other UK generic but my warranty is void because I'm not using.the correct firmware on my phone. That's why I need it.
The other UK generic isn't UK generic it's french generic.
Thanks very much iRimas!!!

this is the real UK Generic then. What's the difference to the FR Generic?
do you also flash it through flashtool as normal, as my bootloader is locked.
Thanks

Probably very little differences such as bookmarks and pre-installed apps. Also obviously the default language
Yes just flash using flashtool. As it's official it will work perfectly with a locked bootloader.

Guys, Please bare with me if i am asking a stupid question as I am new to sony devices so have a lot of confusion. My device has a 3 Firmware on it but I want to get the UK Generic one.
I have downloaded the file posted in this thread and would want to know what exactly can be the cons of flashing it?
will i lose any DRM keys or X reality or anything by doing that or is it totally safe?.
Also if i backup all my data using sony's backup app, would I be able to restore it after flashing the Generic file.

As far as i know its totally Safe. after you flashing if you think something will go wrong you can use PCC and repair as well . it means it is safe to flash . you wont loose anything.
Thank you very much.
Thats a relief, and would i be able to restore everything back using the Backup and Restore app?
Debranding an Zperia Z2
There is something wrong with this file linked (D6503_17.1.A.2.55_EURO_LTE.ftf), it may be corrupt. I flashed it to my Xperia Z2 to de-brand from EE but it sent it into a boot loop instead of restarting. I Managed to get flash tool to work in debug mode again by by plugging in the usb cable and flashed D6503_23.5.A.0.570_RU.ftf which I found on the net as a generic uk Android marshmallow 6.0.1 update and all was well again. After that the next update came from Xperia Companion updating software in the normal way. It is possible that I did something wrong. If you are debranding a UK Z2 just find the latest Marshmallow 6.0.1 update file (D6503_17.1.A.2.55_EURO_LTE.ftf) and flash it to your phone . You don't need to unlock the boot loader of need to root the phone. I'm too new to the forum it won't let me post links to the marshmallow files sorry you will have to find them yourself.
Instructions here:
Pre-requisites
Download and install Flashtool
Enable USB Debugging on phone. Head over to Settings>> Developer options
Enable Unknown sources on the phone by navigating to Settings>> Security
Steps to Debrand Sony Xperia Z2
Step-1: Ensure that you have installed all necessary drivers for Sony Xperia Z2 on the computer. You may do this by installing PC Companion or Sony Update Services (SUS)

Step-6: You should see Flashtool is "Preparing files for sharing"
When the prompt appears, connect the Xperia Z2 to the computer and switch off the phone. Press and hold Volume Down button while plugging the USB cable into the phone
Step-7: The installation process should begin now
