IIRC, there are two different standards supported, NFC (secure element onboard pink Docomo SIM) and FeliCa (secure element internal). NFC won't work without a Docomo SIM card. Are you using a Docomo SIM card? Without a Docomo ROM, FeliCa won't work. @evildave_666
I have unlooked Xperia A working with any sim card and
I don't care to much about NFC but i never test it cuz I don't have Docomo sim also I didn't test it with stock ROM of Docomo but every thing else working perfectly fine . I will upload video soon

You can restore (or install) a c5503 firmware on so-04e, but it won't recognize the extra internal memory until you format the data partition in recovery.
Do that, restart then it will recognize the 32gb internal memory card, then restore your data.
