Strange, how did you update your firmware?
Because when using PC Companion after the update on first boot the phone says that it is upgrading the NFC Firmware, and it works fine for me.
If you flashed the shared FTF then this issue is likely to be the same issue that has been around for a long time.
I updated through PC companion. I had the original unbranded Australian firmware on it before that which the NFC didn't work either. Was really hoping this would fix it

Strange because we must be using exactly the same firmware, I am also in Brisbane, and my phone is unbranded. Did you get the upgrading NFC Firmware message? Now that we have lost root, it makes fixing that issue difficult to impossible
Yes, I just restarted mine and it tried to update NFC but failed

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
So like the title.I updated my device to the new fw and NFC isn't ticking.
Any possible way to fix?

PC Companion should have NFC working fine, if not Sony Update service it definitely works that's how I updated mine

I updated full clean Rom with full wipe via SUS and nfc can be ticked, but no icon in notification bar.
Stock Australian 253 and build prop says ro.nfc.icon.enable=false.
Which means no icon shown. So nfc still works, just no icon...

I have seen numerous confirmations that flashing the ROM straight back over top fixes the issue.
Hi there, I have the same problem. I can't tick on NFC on setting. My device is SO-02E, flashed with 253 Central Europe rom. I try to find directory data/usf but I can't find it anyway ( my device is unrooted ). Does anyone know how to fix it ?

Unfortunately it doesn't mate. Some 253 roms have the icon disabled. It still works but having no icon led to my battery draining fast for 2 days until I realized nfc was on
My Aus 253 update from 434 via PC Companion had this issue. No matter how many timed I flashed, wiped, repaired with SUS, nothing worked just like the 434 Rom.
Your upload of 253 has nfc working straight away.

Changes the pre-installed apps package, takes like 10 minutes to do it, so it's worth it. If you have root then don't update, up to you, you can always re-root through the guides on here.

In the process of updating this via pc companion but it's been stuck on number 3 (updating) for about 5mins now with the download bar nowhere to have even started, is that normal?
EDIT: all good now sorry! Took a while for it to appear halfway on the download bar now, phew.. Took about 10 mins for it to show!
It's completely normal, it tends to take a while, leave it running and it should be fine!

Yes I don't understand why your having trouble I never did a full wipe i kept my data. so I can't say doing a full wipe would help. But if I were you go to settings,apps and press force close on the android system as that is what controls the hotspot. It might work idk

Hello,
Is there a pre rooted UK generic unbranded rom to flash via flash tool on 10.4.b.0.569 (4.3)
Why a UK generic? There is no difference between UK, Italy,...
And if you flash an other pre rooted region you won't loose warranty

To actually answer the question, you won't find a prerooted stock rom in FTF format to flash with Flashtool.
Flashtool will only flash unmodified stock software in flashmode.
Here's a prerooted UK rom that can be flashed via recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590088

Thank you, so when I have finished this will I still be able to check for updates via pc companion, I don't mind if I can't actually install the updates but as long as I can check then I can flash back stock rom and update that way, can't I?
updates
To make myself clear lol can it still search for Software updates with recovery installed?
I once unlocked the bootloader with flashtool and noticed a software update on an internet page so I went on sony update service and it told me to connect in flashmode so I did then it said checking connected device then it said it can't update because the software has been modified, is this because of unlocked bootloader? I have relocked it and it could update I just wanted to know if it worked the same when recovery installed?
Yes, you should be able to check for software updates via the PC Companion. SUS gave that error because your bootloader was unlocked.
I cannot guarantee it though, as I rooted by unlocking my bootloader, therefore didn't use a prerooted rom.

You shouldn't need a software update to use 4G. The C6603 supports it out of the box.
