Hi all,

Thought I'd share my little experience with my XZP. Recently purchased a XZP Dual Sim G8142 that had a generic asian region firmware.

Being that I live in Australia, I wanted VoLTE and Wifi calling enabled. Soo I set out to learn as much as I could to see if there was any possibility in flashing a G8142 into a G8141 AU Firmware. To my surprise, there wasn't much info.

Soo I decided to take a leap of faith anyways. Using Xperifirm I got the Custom AU Firmware for the G8141 and using Newflasher I can report back that I have successfully Converted my G8142 (Dual Sim) to a G8141 (Single Sim).

I have been testing all sensors which are operating as per normal. I now have VoLTE and WiFi calling enabled. I haven't any bugs or glitches yet, besides Xperia Companion not being able to do a Software repair, as it still comes up with an error of: "UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo G8142 3570 1308-6997 R3B"

I didn't flash any of the .ta files that came with the AU Firmware cause I didn't wanna loose any DRM keys.

But just for others to know, It works.

Hello, my phone is single SiM G8141 Europe. The Rom China M-Rom works perfectly on my phone, but it is annoying that sim1 appears in all sections.

Could you please, share the way you activate VolTE?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply.

I follow the guide of using Newflasher on the forms and used xperifirm to download my countries firmware, in my case, AU generic as I'm from Australia.

Dude it in few steps and the phones been working per normal since. I have VolTE and wifi calling enabled by default in the firmware.

best of luck!
