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

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!

Hello all,
I am currently on .434 NL version but I want to flash .350 Indian version and check if I can get the updates via Sony Update Service because via OTA, it didnt work. Now when I try to flash .350 indian version, flashing gets aborted.. I am not able to understand the problem... :crying:
Give us more info: which error, which Flashtool version, etc.
If you have unlocked bootloader you will not be able to update via ota.i tried many time and many way but i couldn't.

Bro, my BL is locked only..
What I found is, when I was on .434 NL version, I couldnt flash back to .350 Indian version but I didnt get any error when I reflash .434 NL version...
Maybe the ftf is corrupted?

I dont thik so because previously I had used it very well... Let me tell u what I did with my phone till now..
Got new phone with .350 FW, got notification for OTA updates of .434 FW, got updated.
Rooted n installed CWM,flashed RomAur rom. I wanted to come back to stock so I flashed .350 FW (worked well at that time) and searched for updates, got notifications.. Tried updating OTA, the updates were downloaded but while installing it got failed. So I flashed .434 NL FW and now I am not able to flash .350 FW to check if I can still get the OTA...
Maybe delete and install flashtool again.
If you have pcc on,close it.

I'm on Three UK and still haven't got the new OTA of 101.A.1.434. It's a C6603 and it's rooted with a locked bootloader. I don't know if it's just my carrier being slow or what cause everyone I know who has the Z is on a different carrier... Any ideas? Even the sony pc companion says im up to date when im still on 101.A.1.350. Thanks in advance.
I'm also on three UK
Its just them being slow.
Press thanks if I help helped

I have the same phone I just installed manually the debranded 434 firmware
Three is well know for delaying or never releasing firmware upgrades.
Just debrand the phone. You won't need to unlock it.

Once debranded will I get OTA's from Sony rather than via three or...?

Indycar try with PC Companion or if possible with Mac bridge. Mine was updated with Mac Bridge, OTA didn't show anything before . After that you will get some application updates.
wooohooo finally update (checking every day)
Crap updated and still on 350
Hi, today ihave unlocked and rooted my friend's xperia z, and i got software update in PCC, can i update it or should i go by installing it via flashtool?
thanks
You can't update or restore the Z via PPC or SUS.
So you'll have to use Flashtool or EMMA Flashtool.
But why go through the hassle of unlocking the bootloader if you will keep stock firm?

I try with Update service, but message is something like "you have modified software"
sorry for bad english
Thanks
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.
