Not sure this rom is Australian.
When I upgrade from Australian 434, NFC icon does not work, and 4G is shown instead of LTE. Just like AUS 434.
And OP has said he is not using Australian stock??
So official Sony Australia XZ might still awaiting update like the UK???
Just to update:
Just flashed op's Rom and in build prop it says Global LTE.
So it's the global unlocked update. Not official Australian.
And Nfc icon is now working. Thanks.
This device will get updates from Australia because that is it's location, it is a global ROM that was made available to Australia. In other words it is the ROM from Australia, my region detected by Sony PC Companion, if Australia does not update I will not get updates.

Very interesting, because my phone shows all network providers around me in Brisbane, and always did see attached.
it's not the Network selection... You have to do a factory reset/ DATA wipe to see what I'm talking about.. During the first boot after a data wipe it will prompt you to select your provider to download MMS/Internet(APN) settings just before you enter your Wi-Fi details during setup. your version doesn't ask for it so I have to manually enter APN details ;)

here is the links for the .434 with Customization Version 1271-0116_R5A(I think this is the customization version for Australian Unbranded ROM)

If you need the .253 (1271-0116_R5A) let me know
So what does the screen shot show for this ROM (1271-0116_R5A)? Can you confirm the above and I can add this to the OP if you want.

My ROM asks me to download the internet and mms settings, and always has done. So not sure what you are saying exactly.

screenshot shows that the version I have 1271-0116_R5A which is the same version some one else confirmed for a device bought from Harvey Norman.. Don't know why your version didn't prompt me for the APN settings both times I flashed.. It is up to you since this is older .434 firmware.. I uploaded it for anyone who wants to use SPCC to receive official update..

Oh I'm starting miss Samsung ROMs where it is so easy to figure out your ROM branding with Samsung CSC codes :(

Sorry didn't realise it was .434, I can upload it to my .434 Australia thread?

Ditto, HTC was a dream also, you could just flash ROM simple and I would think the easiest for rooting etc.

omg finally rooted .253 firmware without loosing Bravia Engine & DRM certificates .. now I'm running .253 rooted firmware on locked bootloader.. :)
That's a great news. Did you check for both video & image files? IF possible can you post a tutorial on how you achieved it?

Thanks.

If you haven't backup your TA partition already you need to switch back to .434 and root it.
enable USB debugging mode..
Then backup your TA-partition using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41637991&postcount=633

after that follow this guide

Right now i am on .253 Global unbranded, so should i switch back to .434 to do these stuffs right.

After going back to .434, i should flash your .253 from here?
