Update to 10.A1.434 failed

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!

[Q] Flashtool doesn't recognize my Z

I know this sound like newbie and I start thinking I'm newbie right now.
Yesterday I have my Xperia Z (C6602) Region TH. flashed to DoCoMo and it was working perfectly except a little thing. It has a lot of bloatware so I managed to get root and uninstall a lot of them. Hour later OTA arrive so I install it and my phone stop the networking. 3G and Wi-Fi working really strange (I supposed to know this is Baseband problem not because I uninstall DoCoMo bloatware carelessly)
So I use Flashtool to flash DoCoMo (101.D.0.333) again and realized later that it was not my careless uninstall. It was OTA that kill my phone feature so I tried flash my region Firmware (10.1.A.1.434) to get the baseband back and flash DoCoMo fw without baseband again later.
And my problem starting from here. The phone not recognized on Flashtool (it say "Cannot identify your device") and it ask me to input what my model is (So I choose C660x) and it make my phone ready to flash once I put it to flashmode. But no, once I put it to flashmode flashtool itself couldn't recognize my phone is in the state ready to flashing so it keep saying my phone need to put in to flashmode by press Vol.down while plug the USB.
I have no idea how to fix this. I already tried uninstall-reinstall the USB driver. Try SO-02E driver (which is the same as Xperia Z) but it still not working.
And each time my phone reboot it keep asking me to choose the language and tell me to put the DoCoMo sim. Does this mean I need to put the sim first to make the phone pass the state on Unboxing?
All I need right now is to flash my region FW back first. (Or maybe find some way to make radio.zip from FTF). Should I root and put a recovery into my LOCKED bootloader and find some way to install radio?

First ask the Mod to move the thread to Q&A.
Are you using the latest flashtool beta6?

Oh just saw that I really put it in a wrong section. And yes, I'm using Beta6. It was working fine until I flash it again today (was working after OTA, but no, not working for now)

[Q] Still not got 434 OTA?

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

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

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.

[Q] Xperia Z1 has still not updated.. is this a problem?

Hi my xperia Z1 has still not updated or given me any notifications. I connected it to PC and checked with sony PC Companion but it is still saying that my phone is updated with the latest version. What should I do?
Thank you
Matt

Which country do you live? And which provider are you on? Do you have a branded or unbranded device? Which model of Z1 do you have( for example: mine is c6903)? Is PC Companion updated to the latest version? As you can read there are many possible factors why your device hasn't got the update yet! Updates are rolled out in phases! You can decide to wait or you can update via flashtool( flash a ftf, no root needed)

Hi there and thanks for reply. To answer your questions, I happen to live in Malta in Europe, and my provider is Vodafone. The sony z1 is an original buy and branded. My model is also C6903. I will check if I happen to have the latest update of PC Companion. I actually prefer to wait some more rather than update manually. What do you recommend?

I would suggest you manual flashing, my girlfriends Z1 was same branded as mine (Polish orange), I was sick of waiting for update and flashed the global version on my own, she still didn't recieve 4.4.2 update.
I was also scared before flashing firmware, but now am cool n happy with kitkat, imma give you link to my thread about flashing it(am also total noob when comes about phones), its easy-peasy.

Is not Custom that one, is Global Stock.

Sorry I meant to say, why not just flash a custom ftf, or a stock 4.4.2, bypass the official way of updating

Yep, I agree with that, he should not wait for the Official one but just use Flashtool and flash the Latest or Custom FTF..
