Hi.
Is it normal that some devices started receiving 4.1.2 in December, while others like mine, there is still no update for 4.1.2 (CSC-I8190OXXALJ8, Europe, Portugal, UNBRANDED)?
My unbranded Xperia received ICS (4.0.3) the day Sony released it. Also, when Sony released ICS 4.0.4, there was also no waiting time. Is this normal on Samsung?
PS: I know i can use Odin.

I have XXALJ8 and have 4.1.2.
Ok. Just checked. Looks like there is no 4.1.2 update for Portugal on Sammobile.
Well i guess you will have to wait.

I'm tired of waiting for 4.1.2 (I8190OXXALJ8).
So i'll use odin to flash this firmware I8190XXAMB2 (Spain), downloaded from sammobile, official, not rooted.
Two questions:
1-Will i be unable to update through Kies?
2-Will i lose warranty?
3-When 4.1.2 is released for my phone can i revert back to 4.1.1 (I8190OXXALJ8; already downloaded from sammobile) and update to 4.1.2?
4-Will this increase counter?
Thanks

I flashed my Xperia ZR from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 (C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
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.

i wanted to root 4.1.2 and then get it updated to 4.2.2 while keeping the root.
anyway i already have manually flashed to 4.2.2 but still waiting for a possible solution.
and i really would like to know the reason why C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf did not offer me any updates.
You can follow the instruction in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392865
No promises though!
Hi,
I have a ZR with the unmodified stock 4.1.2 firmware. PC companion still hasn't offered the 4.2.2 update for me. The customization region of my phone is generic Hong-Kong. Has anybody with the Hong-kong region got the update yet?

I had the Hong Kong version until a day ago I didn't receive the new update and couldn't be bothered waiting so was forced to try out flash tool and flash the Nordic version of 4.2.2
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

Try PC companion. As of yesterday I have tested the 4.1 versions of HK, RUSSIA, GLOBAL firmware to see which ones will receive 4.2 update. Only RUSSIA firmware updated to 4.2 via PC Companion.

Can you please let me know how to find out what firmware my phone has? I think mine was imported from Hong Kong but I'm not sure. I didn't even know there was a global version. There was a post somewhere with some service menu commands to list firmware but that was just a string of numbers, I could not tell that it was global or Nordic or hong Kong... Thanks!

And CM11 4.4 kitkat is out, but it's not a bugfree stock experience, and that's what I think the OP is asking for.
Just install a custom rom chances are it'll still be slow and laggy just like all other Samsung stock roms, once you go aosp/cm there's no going back to slow stock roms.

I really don't think all custom samsung roms are slow. Try The Galaxy Project. Not slow or laggy at all in my opinion.

A custom rom is made/contributed by 1, 2 or lets say a number of 10 developers. An official rom its created by an army of developers

How to root 4.3 firmware for GT-I9305?
I'm not sure but i guess that you could flash custom roms without losing your warranty.
When you want to restore your warranty just flash the stock 4.1.2 with odin.?
Not sure if this works.
Since the 4.1.2 version doesn't have KNOX.

Hello Mate I asked the Same Question and i have already read the same replies i got which doesn't answer your Question and will probably leave you frustrated.
There is a Leaked Roadmap on XDA which is Basically a very short list of when they expect the update to be released.
I can tell you it said November/December so it could be any day really.
I have been on Sam Mobile and they have Released 4.3 for our Handsets in Germany, Germany (Vodafone) and Spain (Vodafone)
I have asked the Question if these can be installed on a UK Handset and change the Language or if it wont work.
I hope this Helps answer your Question
I'm currently living in Pakistan and still haven't gotten the 4.3 update,is their something wrong?
Some say that flashing tft has some bugs so i didn't flashed it.
Can someone tell me if their is any issue of flashing a tft vs ota or pcc.
And plz tell me which region's tft has minimal bugs
btw i have an unbranded c5303.
Thnx in Advance
You're not alone.
SP users in the UK, also haven't got an official UK update.
Despite the fact that they stated that UK users could update through PC Companion.
:c
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
Hi bro.
Don't wait anymore. Flash a 4.3 ftf file using flash tool.
Pakistan update won't come soon.

I am using Existenze 1.0.5
But CE FTF 4.3 was also v good if u want non-rooted.
Otherwise, puestockdeodexed v2 is the way to go for root + 4.3 with least bugs.

Given Sony's update habits, 1-3 updates are buggy as hell. So you should wait.

Firmware
I tried much but failed to find kitkat or higher
You're on the latest available software for your device (C6606). It seems that T-Mo aren't interested in the C6606 any more and won't approve updates for it.
I've seen around the forum that some people have flashed the C6616 firmware to their C6606 with success. You could try that. I'm not sure if you would lose any T-Mo features like wifi calling though and it's obviously at your own risk. Nothing should go wrong though.
If you want to try, you can download and flash the latest C6616 firmware (10.6.A.0.454) by following my guide - How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
Firmware
Thanks @kingvortex i dnt want any t mobile app at all but the flashing will support official sony updates? And c6606 is compatible with c66016 stock firmware?

Most people have found it better to do a clean flash when upgrading to Lollipop, so it's probably best to backup your apps and reinstall after flashing. Apart from that you shouldn't have problems if you follow my guide.

(WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.) copied from there
