[Q] C6606 - If I flash a Generic C6603 Stock FW will I get updates from Sony?

[runbadgerrun]

If I flash a Generic C6603 Stock FW on my C6606 from T-Mobile, will I get updates from Sony through OTA or Mac Bridge?

Basically will my phone then act like a C6603 when reporting model?

I am just wondering if I can use this as a way to get official updates from Sony faster than what T-Mobile will provide.

Thanks

In firmware related, your c6606 is in fact a c6603 right now, so there could be no reasons on updates should install correctly on your fake c6603

I've switched my 6606 from T-Mobile to a stock 6603 and get updates direct from Sony now. I just got one a couple days ago actually. Hotspot also works, as well as no T-Mobile bloatware anywhere on the phone!

You keep LTE. I always select to exclude baseband in Flashtool just for the heck of it, it's not required.

Are you all doing fine? I'm planning on getting one of these, but I'm afraid of hardbrick with lollipop software. I hardbricked once my z1s unbranded when flashing tmobile lollipop
