How to enable Fingerprint Scanner on Xperia XZs US variant Sony G8232

Sony Mobile has already started selling Xperia XZs (Sony G8232) in US but as you all know fingerprint scanner is disabled on the US variant of the device. Xperia XZs Dual Unlocked is available in USA for $619 from Amazon – compatible with GSM/LTE carriers.

If you are looking to enable fingerprint scanner on Xperia XZs US variant i.e. Sony G8232 then you just have to flash any global/customized firmware of the region where fingerprint scanner is enabled and it doesn’t void warranty also as flashing doesn’t require root.

How to enable Fingerprint Scanner on Xperia XZs US variant?

Step 1: Enabling Sony G8232 in Flashtool

Download Flashtool version 0.9.23.2 from here.

Flastool’s latest version doesn’t have Sony G8232 in the list. To enable it, follow the steps given below:

Download G82XX.rar

After downloading, extract it, you will now have a “folder G82XX“.

Now open latest version of flashtol which you have downloaded. Once all scripts are loaded, you will see: Loaded 94 devices.

Now copy the “folder G82XX” to %userprofile%\.flashTool\devices (copy this to “RUN”).

Now open flashtool, click: Device – Manage – Import,  you will see: Loaded 95 devices.

Step 2: Download Xperia XZs 41.2.A.0.219 firmware

Download the latest version of Xperia XZs 41.2.A.0.219 firmware from below mentioned link.

CDA: 1307-8533 | Region: Customized IN | 41.2.A.0.219-R6D

Download G8232_1307-8533_41.2.A.0.219-R6D_Customized_IN.ftf

Step 3: Flashing

While flashing ftf on your device, you may get notice “INFO – No matching loader found” or “WARN – No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader“.

Flashtool will popup using 41.fsc > click YES. If it doesn’t help, restart your system, reinstall flashtool and drivers and reperform the whole process.

As soon as the new 41.2.A.0.219 firmware is flashed on your Sony G8232, you will find fingerprint manager enabled on your Xperia XZs US variant.

Let us know if you are able to enable fingerprint scanner on your Xperia XZs US variant. Drop your comments below.

Nokia released a ‘Star Wars Day’ video on May 4th which is Star Wars Day stating that new Nokia handsets viz. Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3, Nokia 3310 are coming to our galaxy soon. Nokia tagged Nokia 3310 as “father of all phones” in the video.

Nokia’s new smartphones in the android segment Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3 and in the feature phone segment Nokia 3310 are expected to be launched globally before June 2017.

Nokia’s ‘Star Wars Day’ video

Check out Nokia’s ‘Star Wars Day’ video below.

When we asked Nokia Mobile about the exact release date, Nokia responded by saying, “We’re aiming to release our new devices over the next few months“.

HMD Global recently sent media invites for an event on 8th May in India to have a conversation with Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, HMD Global. It is speculated that a launch date for Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3 and Nokia 3310 in India can be announced.

Nokia 6 features 5.5″ 1080p FHD display and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8937 430 processor. It has 4GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage (and a 32 GB internal storage/3GB RAM model also). It features 16MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera.

Nokia 5 features 5.2″ 720p HD display and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8937 430. It has 2GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. It features 13MP rear camera and 8MP front camera.

Rumours are there that Nokia 8 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage) might see light in June this year. As per the latest tweet made by Nokia Mobile, Nokia 3310 is now shipping (was available for pre-order in UK and Germany).

If you see the specifications of newly announced Nokia android smartphones, the processor chipset used in Nokia 6 and Nokia 5 is not upto the mark as compared to chipsets used in budget handsets by Xiaomi and Motorola.
