First, what model do you have? 6603 or 6602? Do you have root? Did you unlock your bootloader? I am in mexico and I received my update for the 6602 one week ago
You can download any FTF and flash it via flashtools, if you want stock, if you are in custom rom with UB you will always be able to update manually and never lose root

I have a problem.. I bought my xperia z unlocked and "unbranded". Full price and stuff.
But my xperia isn't unbranded at all. It's branded by vodafone Germany, the phone it's unlocked. But i have stupid preinstalled apps from vodafone and i can't get rid of the.. Not to mention i will get my updates via vodafone Germany (ps, i don't live not even near Germany).
And i didn't buy my phone from vodafone!!
Can I use this tutorial? http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/
And this world_xxxxx rom (now i have vodafone1_xxxxx) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209637
If i do this, i will still have my warranty?
Thanks.
Root you XZ, install some king of app manager (Ex: titanium backup) and remove that apps. I did the same here (Portuguese TMN apps)
Yeah.. but still. My phone will have "vodafone" rom. And that's my main problem and frustration.

Grab any ftf file from any country you want and use Flashtool to flash the ftf file, no need for rooting or unlocking BL.
I gived back that one. And i bought a new xperia.
The problem with this one is like : the phone have the file system version Global-lte_10.1.a.350.
And does not find any update to Global-lte_10.1.a.434.
I tried another pc.. OTA/Cable.. Does not work. the phone it's made in week 11 (so between March 11, 2013 and March 17, 2013).
And Sony released the 434 update around 20 march i think. It's possible this phone have the bug fix already in it?

No need for OTA when you can download any ftf and flash it using flashtool anyway.
I understand that but i'm just wondering why this phone does not want to "see" the update.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. what is FTF file, and where to get it? I almost bricked my phone already trying to delete the Vodafone software.
Can i get ota updates after flashtool? Maybe mine phone is different product code. My first sony phone, thats why i ask. It was vodafone firmware, now is latest stock unbranded. Thanks

yes you can have the OTA after using the flash tool
Hi...just wondering if any of the other Aussie Telstra users have an .FTF of the now rolling out .253 Telstra branded firmware?
Been reported on Whirlpool that its now rolling out via PCC....unfortunately I have already updated to .253 via other methods here...but really want to check out the Telstra version....I can always go back to the original firmware and update and get the blobs myself but if anyone is already ahead of me that would save me from doing the same thing twice :silly:
Thanks in advance
I'm using my Z3C on T-Mo USA which does not officially support the device. How will I be able to obtain Lollipop once it's released? I won't get anything from T-Mo because that will only be for the Z3 and not the Z3C. Will an OTA update be pushed via Sony directly? Thanks in advance.
i think there will have an OTA update,if not,you can flash 5.0 tft through flashtool anyway
There should be an OTA... it's how I got the last update from Sony and I bought an unbranded, unlocked phone from a retailer. Whether it will be pushed or not is another matter. Might have to check for a software update yourself.
Ok. Thank you very much.
Hi,
Just bought a new phone, z3 compact
Have attached screenshot showing software details. Problem is update to lollipop not showing up on OTA nor on computer using sony software, saying up to date.

Updating is easy and if Sony PC Companion is malfunctioning, you could use Flashtool ( get it here )
After that you can download the latest firmware ( ftf format ) here
There are some guides on how to flash the latest firmware, and don't worry flashing won't void your warranty or root your device.
This is the best and the most informative click me
Good luck
Hi
If I do that, will ota updates work in future?
Don't have time to fiddle around too much now and again every time there's an update,
Any ideas how to get it to pick up the ota update, which I'm sure has already been released for its region?
There's a thread around here with a tool to download the official full firmware files per region and flash them to your phone.
As long as you use a region that's compatible (with radios and all) the effect should be a perfectly fresh installed stock phone that will pick up OTA's just like any other official firmware.
sony flashtool or something? I can't remember.
Hi,
The firmware thats on the phone is global region,
23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - GLOBAL (1286-9917) #1
But i dont see lollipop updates for it.
Which region firmware should i use to flash?? Which would work 100%
Pls help with some advise asap which will work
