I wish I could, when I got it it was already second hand but I suspect that it has been previously rooted or had another ROM flashed.. I will try locate the box for it. All I can say is that I believe it was SIM free originally and I am in the UK.

I guess this may add some confusion now because he update checker shows 1792 and 4053 as generic.

The question is what is the difference between these two? I suspect one of them is not generic!
Looks like a later revision phone. Should be fine IMO. Will flash it tonight and see :good:

Flashed successfully, previously stock UK 4.4.2 (.761) :good:
Only problem is the LTE icon instead of 4G as it was previously. Don't know why it would have changed if this is also the UK version.

Settings => More... => Mobile networks => Data roaming.

If it's an UK rom, you will see an option for 'National roaming'.

I have no LTE coverage where I am so cannot check the LTE icon, but these screenshots indicate LTE rather than 4G.

I have not seen the national roaming on this or the previous version, I will check some other phones later today.

I have just checked another Generic UK Z1C (1279-4727 - 14.3.A.0.757) and there is no option there either.

Strange, ive got that option in .757 1279-5054.3 unbranded but only shows 4g(preferred) etc etc in Network mode and no LTE option. Could it be down to the default network modes set in the service menu that makes it show or not?

Ive still not got 4.4.4 offered through pc companion or .761 either. Would flashing the roms using flash tool but still have a locked bootloader stop these from appearing? Im wanting to fresh install the phone and root using the new method and have a lot of crap on internal storage i want rid of.

My UK Z1C was from Carphone Warehouse so is unbranded, no offer of the Android 4.4.4 update yet either.

Anyone know if this update fixes the horrendous bugs the first KitKat update brought in? I bought the phone for the camera, its been useless since KitKat, talk about 'missing the moment' every time you try to take a pic and it takes 20 seconds to load the camera, lol

I have looked up this 1279-4053 using the excellent XperiFirm tool (which gets its data straight from the official Sony servers) and it turns out that this customization is for UKRAINE, not for United Kingdom:



This thread title should be updated to say "Generic UA Unbranded" for clarity!

I have uploaded an FTF of the actual 1279-4727 United Kingdom customization (with the national data roaming option present) here:
