just flash it with newflasher, if it doesn't work .
you can return jp version

 

[karlo0321]

I tried flashing customized uk firmware and i got "no sim card" issue. Then i flashed again uk firmware without modem trim area file and it works. My sim has detected.

You can but it won't go to deep sleep (battery will not last more than 8 hours. You will lose about 20% battery on 8 hours stand by). Tried it already. Went back to the stock SOV36 rom....

My reason that's why i want to change the firmware is because when i have incoming calls, no details appear. I have to remove country code in all contacts. Do you have a solution for this? Thanks

Don't have the problem with my SOV36 but you might want to try unlocking the bootloader and try a custom rom or GSI to check if that is the solution.

Bootloader unlock allowed: No

So i can't unlock it.
What messaging app you have using?

Using the stock messaging app that came with the phone "SMS".

 

[dirknelson]

You can disable the default SMS and install the SMS app from google. It will defenitely work.

4. Flash Rom by Newflasher remember hold only file sim.ta

Sorry for asking, i'm new into Sony. What do you mean by hold only sim.ta? Do i need to delete all the .ta files and only keep sim.ta or keep all the .ta files and only delete sim.ta?
