Sony did not update the Xperia V in Taiwan to the original 9.1.A.0.490 Jelly Bean firmware. Instead, the update went straight over to the new 9.1.A.0.492 firmware, which I have made into an FTF in the link below. Firmware includes some regional apps, all of which can be uninstalled.
EDIT: It is pretty obvious that the .492 firmware is not a large update in any sense, and could very well be a regional push-out update with minor bug fixes. On personal experience, I have not had any SOD issues (though I haven't had that on the old ICS firmwares either), but the weather widget still causes menu stutters and the Walkman app still has glitches in playback when switching tracks (long pauses).

I just hope that the bugs in .490 is being fixed with this new update.

for me this fw still have SoD. I go back to telenor FW, cause it's no SoD
I do not know if this happened to you guys, but I can't connect to my telco's data network using this ROM.
I'll be playing around with another kernel with this ROM and see how it'll turn out to be...
Edit> I just realised I need to manually set my telco's APN for this. Now it appears to be fine for now.

no connection with ADB - according to flashtool, when I plug the phone in it says that ADB is off. If I don't have Sony PC companion open, the phone doesn't get recognized at all.

how's this new Firmware?
the .490 firmware have this Walkman bug that annoyed me a lot.. did the .492 had it fixed?
No bug is still here
All bugs still there, radio seems worse (new baseband in .492), at least in Europe...

Those are only pre-installed apps. I too found it out of the box. After updating through Sony PCC, those apps are gone. Also you can just flash this to update to 4.1.2 instantly.

6602 does not support LTE.
However 6603 and 6602 can use the same firmware.
I do not think flashing this firmware to a 6602 will make it magically support LTE.

Funny that my XZ was C6603 (Singapore). The phone change to C6602 after I flash Thai stock rom. I will try to flash original stock rom back again. I will inform later for how it can change back to C6603 or not.

When downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, you need to wipe all data or it won't work. Why do you need the 'Generic US' firmware anyway? Does it contain any special features which you need and which are not available in 'Generic TW'? It's the worst customization when it comes to updates..
it doesn't have any special features, i don't knowt what in Generic TW firmware have. I just worry that if i flash other region firmware i won't get update over the air later. and i think the original firmware is good for me.

LTE firmware is for C6603. The C6602 contains different hardware and has no LTE support. If you flash firmware for the wrong device, you might get connectivity problems and you will no longer receive any software updates from Sony (because they check the first 8 digits of your IMEI number, which is different for C6602 and C6603).
I just updated to 10.3.A.0.423 last night using a FTF I made from PC Companion. Posted here in case anyone needs it

Just noticed that using C6603 firmware for my C6602 phone wasn't a very good idea.... Sony PC Companion doesn't allow me to update it.
After I reflash the C6602 version of firmware, will I be able to automatically update my phone using Sony PC Companion? My phone is a C6602 bought in China but the Chinese firmware has been flashed out of the device.

Were you able to get the phone back to stock? Also is there not a way of flashing the ROM without using the PC and ftf.
I prefer flashing from the phone on CWM because I'm lazy, Is that not an option for installing a stock rom for this phone?

If you find a flashable zip with stock rom, you can flash stock.
But if you have your booloader locked, chances are you lose your root, recovery and go back to barbone kernel.

thanks for the info. Im not 100% knowing if the bootloader is locked or not. I just assumed its unlocked because the phonr is rooted and i'm running AOKP on it. i guess the main reson i want ti know is because i know its not the correct rom for this phone. it works fine but it should be the one that should be for the phone. not c6603 when the phone is a c6602. would you happen to know the link for a cwm flashable rom version of c6602?

But now the phone itself nor the pc companion software is not offering me an update to 4.2.2 firmware.
When I first got the phone then pc companion automatically offered an update to 4.2.2 but not anymore.
Is there an easy fix to get the OTA update working? thanks!
First of all, why did you flash from 4.2.2 back to 4.1.2??
Well... following the same thread in your link, you can manually flash it back to 4.2.2 when your OTA is not working.

Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app
is it true that the pc companion never actually checks the actual firmware version of your phone but instead relies on the data stored in a server, which keeps record of your phones mac address and the latest upgrade done to that phone with that specific mac address?
since my first upgrade was from 4.1.X to 4.2.2 through pc companion then the server stored information stating that my phone with MAC address xyzc has been upgraded to 4.2.2 and wont offer any more upgrades unless something newer than 4.2.2 is released. even if i downgraded back to 4.1.2- according to the server's records my phone "was flasehd" and still "must be" using version 4.2.2.
atleast that is what i read somewhere

You're not alone.

Despite the fact that they stated that UK users could update through PC Companion.

Who knows when the waiting will end.
trust me you may not even want 4.3, yes it has some new features like new camera ui and a bit different messaging and app drawer and stuff but its awfully glitchy
