there is already .370 available would also appreciate to see a ftf of .370 because i need to relock my bootloader to install the update with SEUS/PC Companion (SGP311)

Just be informed that ...370 firmware makes tablet reboot when one tries to navigate /system (mounted r/w) in Root Explorer.

This doesn't help.

The terminal or adb output nothing for "stop ric".

I've got Polish 370 and BT works fine.

DJ-Tumor: I have a European version of Tablet Z. Originally, it came with .344 firmware which I rooted using some method floating around this forum. Then the update to .370 came. First, I installed OTA RootKeeper as advised by someone and made a backup of the root. Then I simply updated the tablet using the built-in Sony's Software update app.
After reboot, the system was still rooted. I am not sure if root survived the update or RootKeeper did it (I am not really familiar with the application). Nevertheless, I now have .370 rooted system and can verify that Bluetooth works fine (I just tried it and it discovered two BT device).
I have the 16GB model SGP311.

Good for you guys....but I still can´t update (Update impossible it says even though I ONLY ROOTED IT).
But what I wanted and seemingly no one understood... I NEED EUROPEAN FIRMWARE 344.
I have a feeling that it´s the Japan firmware why my tablet has infunctional Bluetooth.

I guess we can create flashable zip from ftf only, cause not all system files gets updated through ota.
Sent from my C5502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

is the flashable zip already pre-rooted? I mean, if I flash it, will I lose root privileges? I am currently on .244 firmware and rooted and I am just worried that if I flash this, I may lose root.

make a nandroid backup before trying it out. it's just what you get from an OTA flash which retains all user data, so I reckon it does nothing to root

So if I flash the 2.67 firmware, I won't lose my root privileges that I acquired on my .244 firmware? Sorry for the stupid question as this is the first time I will try to flash a zip firmware

Root on .534 then update to .257?

I'm willing to stay on the current (stock) rom for a while - if I have stock 14.1.G.1.534 that I'm about to root - will I mess smth up if I update to 14.1.G.2.257 or any other version that'll be available through Z1 Update Center (assuming there will be one available for download through the handset software)
Regards

You will lose root if you update to .257
But you can root, install recovery on .534 and then flash a pre rooted 257 rom from the dev section

Thanks Greg. Don't know why xda app does that.

Actually I read a report yesterday that root was kept after an OTA update. I suppose it's just a "diff" being pushed out so it's not surprising, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for that guys - well then I'll try kingo root on first and then update to see what happens. Cheers

Rooted with kingo then OTA to 257 - root preserved

Upgrading to 4.3

Is it better to upgrade the ROM software via PCC or OTA is as good ?

Anyway, one of the two .. Decide for yourself! And the next time, please not open a new thread for this question

I would flash an ftf from the forums or make your own, as the bootloader gets updated. A failure during the OTA or PC companion flash at the moment bootloader is being updated could result in a hardbrick

Or so :good:

I could be wrong but it has mentioned that Flashtool uses the same protocols as PCC and flash tool is a way for those with unlocked bootloaders and modified system to flash stock roms where trying to use PCC would result in failure. The same issues can be experience by both methods and corrected by both (reflash in Flashtool and a replair in PCC). So as far as my understanding goes this statement seems misleading and fear inducing.

Yes, I see your point. And the risk is negligible. I just am not comfortable with bootloader being updated. "OTA".
That's just me though

I was using OTA via home wifi. If you have a stable internet, OTA is more easier.

[Q] How do i backup current firmware?

Hi
I look after the company mobiles and we have around 30 Sony Xperia SP C5303 Mobiles
They are all on EE 4G in the UK
They run 4.1.2 (12.0.A.2.254)
Recently a few users have updated to 4.3 and now emails no longer work and the phones have become sluggish
So id like to revert back to 4.1.2
I want to keep warranty so i would like to restore from a stock rom
Id like to backup the rom from one of the 4.1.2 phones
I have read to use SUS but when i try the repair/reflash same version as suggested its not an option
The only option is to upgrade the firmware which is not what i want
Please how do i backup the firmware of our 4.1.2 phones so i can flash the ones that upgraded to 4.3?
Many thanks

The best option if you don't want to root every phone and install cwm is to use PCC to get the files if you plug one of the 4.1.2 phones into PCC and "repair" it is that an option or will it only allow an upgrade? I can do it for you I'm on EE 4.1.2 and the upgrade is not available for me yet so I can still download the 4.1.2fw if all your phones are due for an upgrade you then flash the file from PCC (there are tutorials on getting the files) with androxide and bin4rys flashtool.

Also to get the 4.1.2.ftf you don't let the repair process complete you interrupt it and pull the files out of PCC

My phone is now due an update so I can't get the 4.1.2 fw if you look for generic global 12.0.A.2.254 firmware then that will work.
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app

I'm not sure: with the latest firmware being available, wouldn't PCC or SUS repair to 201 or 266?
When I recently flashed a 257 source from this forum, the phone notified me that there is an update to 254 (even though 266 was available then)
Maybe you can test one of the phones: flash a FULL 257 firmware (without wiping data) to see if it updates to 254.
Once it is done updating, the 254 firmware should be residing in one of your computer folders.
