Doesn't work.
Root can only be applied to first ICS firmware and cooked/rooted JB updates only through CWM.

Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?
Thanks for your help

Yes try pc companion or update service.

Thanks! Only tried the OTA update since I'm not at home.
Will give the pc companion a try later.

Sorry, I'm new to all this android flashing since this is my first Android device (came from ios)
If I download a 434 FTF and flash it, will I lose all my apps and app data?
And can I flash in recovery, or can FTF files only be flashed using flashtool?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.
Awesome! Thanks for the swift replies guys. Will give it another try on updating later :thumbup:

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

If you didn't change any system files you won't have problems.

I've deleted bloatware. Does that count? Or do you specifically mean OTA files in system?
Deleting bloatware affects ota.

So what would I need to do to upgrade firmware in the future? Restore to OFW, upgrade then reroot?

Hey there, u have removed some google apps or something like that. Your only option is to install from desktop program.
If you have unlocked bootloader or rooted phone with some system modification, you cannot update with sony's update software.
Use flashtool to update or emma.

Not that I'm aware of, most ppl seem to be using supersu survival mode and putting supersu as system app then only updating through OTA to retain root. More details in tablet z general section forum

heres a post about basic functions for things like fastboot

But I believe its Up volume not down volume,
You could also use flashtool to reflash an older android version for your model/region that can be rooted then OTA to more recent version to try and retain root

its a minor update and you won't loose anything. Also, it tells you all the details whether it will wipe your data or not before you start installing the update through Pc Companion.
