[Stock FW][LT25i] Xperia V 9.1.A.0.492 Generic (Taiwan)

Sony did not update the Xperia V in Taiwan to the original 9.1.A.0.490 Jelly Bean firmware. Instead, the update went straight over to the new 9.1.A.0.492 firmware, which I have made into an FTF in the link below. Firmware includes some regional apps, all of which can be uninstalled.
EDIT: It is pretty obvious that the .492 firmware is not a large update in any sense, and could very well be a regional push-out update with minor bug fixes. On personal experience, I have not had any SOD issues (though I haven't had that on the old ICS firmwares either), but the weather widget still causes menu stutters and the Walkman app still has glitches in playback when switching tracks (long pauses).

I just hope that the bugs in .490 is being fixed with this new update.

for me this fw still have SoD. I go back to telenor FW, cause it's no SoD

I do not know if this happened to you guys, but I can't connect to my telco's data network using this ROM.
I'll be playing around with another kernel with this ROM and see how it'll turn out to be...
Edit> I just realised I need to manually set my telco's APN for this. Now it appears to be fine for now.

Is it only Taiwan who has .492 yet?

Apparently. Singapore hasn't got it yet.

Any way to get root on this rom? Installed it with .490 kernel, installed root in recovery and the binaries are there but su still doesn't work

I directly root .492.

no connection with ADB - according to flashtool, when I plug the phone in it says that ADB is off. If I don't have Sony PC companion open, the phone doesn't get recognized at all.

was able to root using another computer, must be a driver problem

how's this new Firmware?
the .490 firmware have this Walkman bug that annoyed me a lot.. did the .492 had it fixed?

No bug is still here

All bugs still there, radio seems worse (new baseband in .492), at least in Europe...

4.1.2 for unbranded phones

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.

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

Save yourself the trouble and flash the FTF as for the ROM, no big changes, mostly under the hood stuff

6602 does not support LTE.
However 6603 and 6602 can use the same firmware.
I do not think flashing this firmware to a 6602 will make it magically support LTE.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Yes, i also think so
But the hardaware between 6602 and 6603 was no different,
Has anyone tried it?

Funny that my XZ was C6603 (Singapore). The phone change to C6602 after I flash Thai stock rom. I will try to flash original stock rom back again. I will inform later for how it can change back to C6603 or not.

Anyone got generic UK 4.3 ftf link/EE UK 4.3?

Ive tried the CE version and it was buggy, the Vodafone UK version works better but has vodafone specific apps and such so wondering if anyone has the generic UK or if its been released EE version?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum wasn't sure if it should be posted here or in questions.

Hi there I have an ee branded sp and im still waiting for a generic or ee update myself. I tried the Vodafone firmware and didnt like the bloatware. The ce one was better but I didnt like the customisation. I did find ce to be buggy but found that repair through pcc actually optimised all the apps which flasing didnt and it was butter smooth. Didnt like having a Russian play now app or no nfc icon or having 4g reffered to as lte so reverted back to stock ee. If ur not Bothered about these little niggles reflash ce and repair from pcc. Im hoping we get a generic or ee Rom soon

Does the PCC repair redownload the whole ROM again or just fix things with what you have?
Also out of interest where did you get the stock EE 4.1.2? I cant see a link for it and would probably rather revert back.

I've got a generic UK 4.1.2 ftf, I got it from the links inside Xperia update checker. If you download and setup the update checker then click check firmwares when you are on the Xsp C5303, there are links to a few ftf's and one is UK .254 firmware.
I also find the European version to be very slow and sluggish, I'll have to try your idea of using the repair function in pc companion.
I'm still confused how Vodafone got 266 rolled out before the generic version. I hope they are still rolling out more versions, a clean uk 266 would be nice!

I beleive it redownloads the latest Rom for that region (.266 for central europe, the same one If already installed) but this time u get all the apps optimizing at first startup, which didnt happen when flashing the Rom from flashtools from which made it buttersmooth. I dont have a link for the .254 ee Rom I have one for .211 ee rom an older one but that can be upgraded to. 254 ee if u connect it to pcc. And I suggest always updating through pcc whenever possible as I find it gives the best imstall I feel. Il post up the link to the ee .211 Rom in a few mins once I find it again.

Hi. Could u possibly upload the generic UK Rom you have? I have not been able to download ir from anywhere as the file seems to have been removed from any links I find. Il be forever at your service

Yeah I'll sort out uploading them/finding the links, I'm at work at the moment, should be home in about 2 hours, hold on brothers!
Also another thread opened saying Sony Gb are rolling out today, so hopefully I'll be able to make an ftf of 266 generic UK if it's out yet
