When will the 4.2.2 update be released in the UK? Seems like it's been out for a while, yet my phone still hasn't found the update using either OTA or with PC Companion on my laptop.
We don't have the insight to say. Nobody has. And no crystal balls.
4.2.2 has been out for a few days only and is clearly rolling out across the piste.
Just wait patiently or use one of the other Generic ones if you're really that desperate. They're all basically the same apart from minor app differences.
I think Vodafone has released it someone on another forum updated his to 422 via Sony bridge on a Mac.
Never.... (joking)
Considering we were left out of the last few updates wouldn't surprise me if we are the last to get this one.
So I would guess a month

You have a UK unbranded device? Customisation number 1270-7689? Or some other UK device?
Not booting up my PC to find out if this is true or not, as other methods of checking are still showing 434 as the latest available for UK unbranded.
Edit: I see you edited your post. Yes, most are aware that Vodafone have updated

Mines was a VF UK handset upgrade - so branded to them. The phone itself didn't report any system/software upgrades, but as soon as I ran up PCC and plugged it in, PCC kicked off the upgrade.
Just use the Sony original Japanese update it doesn't change the language or anything and everything works out is the official Sony update and u just flash it with a flash tool no wipe of data or anything and u can easily root it with doomlords rooting method. It's a one click root.

Just change to a different generic customization. Some people seem to think that there is something special about UK firmware, but that isn't true at all (except that it seems to get updated last). All customizations contain the same baseband, kernel and core. The only difference is the bundled apps, build.prop and some overlays. I think 'Generic ES' is the best customization to change to. It contains all Sony apps (so you won't lose Video Unlimited or anything), of course it also contains all languages and it seems to get updates first.
Also, please stop asking when an update for a certain customization will be released. Nobody will be able to tell you, so it's completely useless to ask. There are ways enough to check the latest version for your customization. I have a list that I update daily or even multiple times a day, you can also create a browser bookmark to Sony's Firmware Update Server (see same thread) or you can use this web check: http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/.
Don't worry, it should come sometime this decade...we might even get the firmware update that everyone else has had for 2 months before 2017...wouldn't that be great?

Instead of waiting weeks/months/ages and complaining, just change to a different firmware customization like everyone else did. What are you scared of? There's always the possibility of changing back to 'Generic UK'.

That doesn't exist. In Japan, the Xperia Z was only available through the carrier NTT DoCoMo, which had a slightly different version with a different model number (SO-02E).
Check this list for the available customizations: [INFO] Latest firmware version per customization (region/branding). For the UK, I would recommend 'Generic ES'.

Downloading the 'Generic TW' FTF and flashing it with Flashtool, or changing your customization number in build.prop and updating with Sony PC Companion will give exactly the same result. 'Generic TW' is the only customization that has been updated for C6602. It also seems to get updates first each time. So I recommend to use that firmware.
I will sell my XZ and buy Galaxy S4 i think, its not about changing customization etc it shows how Sony treat UK customers...

Good luck with your (plastic) Galaxy S4 (with ugly *** TouchWiz) then. Hopefully Samsung will release updates faster to the UK
Do you really care so much about the 'Generic UK' customization? It's not like it contains any special features that can't be found in other customizations.

I have the stock rom with no root (C6603) running android 4.1.2 on build number 10.1.A.1.434, it refuses to update to 4.2.2 over the air or using sony pc companion, I avoided rooting this time because I have apps the don't work when the phone is rooted (banking), I'm with virgin media but the phone is unlocked, is there a way that I can get this update without having to root the phone??
thank you for your time
There is no update to 4.2.2 for UK unbranded handsets. I assume that is what Virgin supplied you with.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler then look in Service Info -> Software Info. If your Customisation version is 1270-7689, then you have a UK unbranded device and cannot officially update yet.
You can download one of the many ftf available in the general section and flash it with flashtool however. That does not require root.

Here is a link to change the customisation number of your device (root required) that will make PC companion believe you have an available update to download. I tried this amd it worked first time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311211
However if you do not want to root the devixe, then simply using flashtool and your stock 4.2.2 .ftf file you will have no problem achieving what you wish
Hope it helps

Unbranded UK users are being completely ignored by sony
I'm in the same boat as you, haven't found the time/patience to flash a stock firmware that actually receives updates. Unbranded UK users are being completely ignored by sony.
I'm already feeling bad for buying my phone via expansys on release.

Why not just flashing an 4.2.2 rom via flashtool. No root required.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I live in Portugal, should I flash the Portuguese unbranded firmware or the Spanish which is in the latest version?
Do I have to delete my data to flash the new firmware?
... sorry for asking, I know that somewhere in XDA there are adequate answers, its just that it would be much nicer if Sony would just release the unbranded firmware for all unbranded Xperia Z's! I'm a software developer myself, and cannot think why, after Sony releasing the latest firmware in the UK (branded), would not release the unbranded version since the only relevant think is the country customization which must already have been achieved in the branded firmware.

Well I don't know of there is a Portuguese one. I honestly flashed a Chinese stock rom and i just check I have Spanish and also Portuguese languages. U really can flash any stock 4.2.2 rom u like. I don't know why unbranded devices don't get an update mine is unbranded too and I had to flash a stock firmware. But it wasn't a big deal. And u don't lose if u don't choice wipe data ur data but there some ppl that had severely issues flashing without full wipe. My flash went without any issues or data wipe. But I can't 100% promise it will work by u without issues too.

Flash tools for mac or linux
If I have the time, I'll flash my phone this weekend...
Do you know what tools I can use in mac or linux? The official stuff only works well on windows. I know there's a flash tool for mac but there are no up-to-date tutorials, maybe I'll risk it, this 2 firmware updates behind is not a comfortable place to be.

Sadly for Mac I have no clue to be honest. And yeah the 2 softwares below make a difference they slightly calibrated the screen even more and also camera a little bit more. This how the phone should had been released.

yeah, my version is
United Kingdom Generic UK 1270-7689 10.1.A.1.434 R14A 10.1.A.1.434 R14A
basically the unbranded and yes I bought it pre-paid from virgin media as I had a contract with them and could get the phone cheaper than I could get it online, find this pretty insulting that they have just ignored a huge portion of their consumers again, they did this with the last phone I had with them which they actually canceled the updates past android 2.1 even though people had 2.3.7 running on it fine at the time and even have jb 4.1.2 running (partially from the sd card of the phone) on that handset, sony release great devices and just leave them with little to no support, I'm tempted to boycott them in the future if this is the legacy they wish to leave behind, very sad since they have well polished hardware, any news on a possible release date for us ?
Im in the same boat and have a generic UK device stuck on 4.1.2 , what stock ROM is recommended to flash onto UK devices so they still receive OTA Updates etc? , really do not want root on the device at the moment due to Sky Go apps etc.

Well, there's really not that much to do. When the firmware is available for your customization, people with locked bootloaders will be able to download the update via SEUS to either flash it directly or create an FTF file.
Until the firmware is cleared for launch in your region though, there's nothing that anyone can do to magically make it appear. That's just the way it works :/

This really isn't Sony's fault. Usually OEMs will have firmwares ready for everyday use (with some bugs though), only weeks after the release of a new Android version. The time between then and the actual OTA release of the firmware to the community is spent partially on fixing these bugs,but mostly on geting the firmware certified in each country around the world. This certification procedure includes testing of the WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and everything else that has to meet a certain standard. Unfortunately, not all of these tests are standardized, meaning that a lot of certifications has to take place in each country respectably, since a lot of countries have different demands to approve the firmware. (This is the main reason for the delay between different regions, since different countries finishes these tests at different times)
When this LONG procedure is done, you might have a carrier that wants to add some software (aka bloatware) to the firmware before they also approve its release. It is not until then that the actual firmware for your region will be available for download, so as you can see, the process of releasing new firmware is quite an extensive one.

You can flash any country customised with inserting any sim, it will automatically changes the language, region and setting to your country.
Customisation means, Bloawares, Language, Region, Currency and other settings only change. No specific changes will be there. I always download the first available Customisation and flash, never waits for IN version

Hi any bugs in new update
I did not find any bugs. Check reviews for more info.
Hi all,
Support of Sony doesn't have any idea, how it works....:
I bought a EU-device and use it in Switzerland. Unfortunately, they didn't integrate the Swiss carrier settings. Due to this, I don't have VoLTE, VoWifi (Wifi calling) and 5G.
I contacted Sony by phone and they told me that the device seems to have defect, that's why it doesn't work. So I wrote an e-mail to Sony support and they answered that the hardware is only capable to have these functions for the countries it is build for. My reply was that this is an EU-Version, so the hardware isn't the problem, they just need to add the carrier settings and if they know, when they will add them. Answer of the support: No, it is the hardware.
It is really frustrating with Sony. They have build such a nice device, but with this support, they shoulnd't be suprised about falling sales.
I was thinking of open the bootloader with Magisk and try to add the settings by myself. But first, I have never done this and I am not sure yet, what I have to do exaclty (step by step). Second, I loose the guarantee. And third, I am not sure if banking apps still work afterwards.
I really love this device, but I am a little frustrated about Sony.
If you have an idea, how I can solve this problem, you would make me happy
Flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.
Envoyé de mon XQ-AT51 en utilisant Tapatalk
I tried this already (several different localizations), bitit didnt help. The problem is, that Swiss providers didn't integrate their settings into Googles carrier services, but into another database for manufacturers. Unfortunately, Sony didn't do that on the Xperia 1 ii (even if they did it on past Xperias).
But I am most frustrated, that their customer care blame it on the hardware, but it's a software problem. Even after explaining, they don't wanna check it with a specialist. So trumping something, which isn't true.
Maybe you should contact your provider. Unlocking bootloader won't help.

According to Swisscom, everything is ready and the system is waiting for the device to register in IMS. But as the mobil doesn't have the carrier datas, it probably can't do it.
So I am back at the point, where the mobile needs the settings implemented for Swisscom...
We need to wait for flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.
For now FlashTool is not supporting our device.
Later just flash US frimware you will loose double sim but you will get VoLTE and WiFi calling. I did that on Xperia 1. It was easy and satisfy choice
I have an XQ-AT51 and also tried the UK-version, which support VoLTE/VoWifi. But as mentioned, the carrier settings of Swiss providers are missing.
I really don't know if it can help, but, have you already tried this way? here
The mentioned switch in this post is greyed out on my phone and my phone is also not IMS-registered (even my provider is offering it - I have also a second SIM for the same number with an Xperia 10 Plus with VoLTE and VoWifi). So I am pretty sure, it is only about integrating providers/carriers settings. But as Sonys customer care doesn't care about it (only this sentence shows that something is wrong there) and they don't want to check it internally with an xpert on VoLTE/VoWifi, it is frustrating.
Hey PlatinCH, any news? Did you manage to get VoLTE/VoWifi working?
That's the only thing holding me back from buying it
Yes it is quite confusing for sony, i used to flash xz premium and xperia 1 with SEA firmware on my HK device and both able to use VOLTE and VOWIFI in Thailand. So i just wait for SEA firmware to release for Xperia 1 II and i flash it over to my Xperia 1 II (HK) last night. This is quite problem the volte button is there but not work, as well noticed that IMS is not registered although it trigger on but greyed out. I think pproblem is with Sony.
Anyhow i recommend to use New Flasher now as it support Xperia 1 II, and i am contributor to the dev since Xz Premium day so the dev is very updated and quick respond and it is simple and easy to use.
Question for the OP. Have a checked the modem config files to see if your carrier is listed in there? Also have you checked to see what modem config file your phone is currently using? Just type in *#*#service#*#* and go to service info, then choose software info. Your modem config will be listed at the bottom.
Quite sure it's listed there,
This phone will always select ROW Commercial config.
Don't know if this a bug or a feature from Sony
has anyone found a solutuion for wifi calling?

If you are flashing the firmware for.your region and volte doesn't work then you won't have much luck flashing different region firmware. However if you want try flashing SEA firmware if it's only compatible with your model
