Generic firmware for Xperia M4 Aqua E2303

[alexi9307]

Hello! 

I bought a few months ago an Xperia M4 Aqua from Orange Romania. The firmware that came with it has Orange ( like network provider Orange ) startup screens and many built in apps that I do not use. 

Is there any OFFICIAL way to get rid of the Orange branded firmware and replace it with the original one that Sony Released?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

@alexi9307 Nice to know you're from Romania. You can't do much, you can flash a different firmware but you need to be careful as the phone is most likely locked to Orange.

I don' really care about the network lock, i just want to install a generic, unbranded Sony Firmware.

Can you provide me with a link to a tutorial or so?

Depending on what model you have, you can either use xperifirm to download a firmware and flash with flashtool or check this:
