Strange! Other people are complaining because they still haven't got the update. My Xperia Z (C6602) got the notification for the latest OTA update for 10.3.1.A.0.244 via the update centre app. I downloaded the update and pressed install, and the phone shut down, and installation started, but then it stopped 1 min after installing, the phone rebooted and I got a notification "could not install". What's happening?
My phone is not rooted. OTA update to 10.1.1.A.1.253 worked previously. Any ways to fix this problem?
The internet connection at my current location is not stable enough to use PC Companion or Sony Update Service. It would also take the whole day to download the whole ftf file. (Max download speed is 40 KB/s! ) Can anyone think of any alternative ways please? Thanks in advance.
P.S., I found a similar tread in Xperia J forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44735001#post44735001), but no solution to the problem.

I believe the OTA update will fail if any of the stock system apps are missing.

None of the system apps are missing as my phone is not rooted. But, my local Sony Service installed a local font without rooting, that's the only change made. (I don't know how they did that, I just saw them running a .bat file from computer. They said this won't void the warranty.)

It depends on the branding of your phone. Give it a few days or weeks and the update will arrive. Right now in The Netherlands Vodafone and KPN/Hi-branded devices haven't received the update yet, I'm not sure about the others. T-Mobile NL Skyfall edition is out.

i had my phone with tmobile but i flashed Stock Firmware 7.0.A.3.223 on my phone, which is much faster than tmobile version
Well, I'm T-Mobile user to. Just go back then, download my Ftf from the all in one thread. It's blazing fast, and removed all the bloatware myself

Are you with Unlocked bootloader? In your signature have this text.
Lock your bootloader before update with PcC or Update Service, when you receive notification for update to 4.1.2 on pc.

Since currently your bootloader is unlocked, you're probably rooted as well so just backup all your apps using TitaniumBackup.
Then re-lock, update via PCC, then unlock again, root again, restore all your apps and data via TitaniumBackup
I actually don't understand why you don't want to just flash the available FTF around, no need to go thru the hassle of re-lock/unlock again.

Anyone else still waiting for the update? Getting nothing from PCC here in the UK on an unbranded T
Same here no jelly bean in the UK on none branded T.
o2 UK..
Hi everyone...
I am on o2 in the UK and this arrived today..
Now off to read about the benefits and changes..
Ofiaich
Still nothing on my UK generic XperiaT. Want to get this update asap but don't want to have to start fresh on my phone again as touching very close to my data limit this bill month and I am monitoring it with the android system app which I am sure the stats will be wiped if I flash one of the available FTF files available.
I have flashed jb with flashtool, my friend has same phone and he used as out from sony without root etc. He has still no update from sony. He is also in Netherlands... Its strange that received no update...
Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?
Thanks for your help

Sorry, I'm new to all this android flashing since this is my first Android device (came from ios)
If I download a 434 FTF and flash it, will I lose all my apps and app data?
And can I flash in recovery, or can FTF files only be flashed using flashtool?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.
Awesome! Thanks for the swift replies guys. Will give it another try on updating later :thumbup:

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

I'm on 10.3.1.A.0.244 and got a firmware update msg from PC Companion. Wasn't that the latest one?
I'm updating right now, what could it be??? It said I won't loose my peronal data, so I guess it's a small one.
PS: My Xperia Z is C6602 HSPA
I'll keep you posted, PC Companion is downloading the update right now ...
[EDIT}
Update complete. While booting it said "Android is updating..."
Same Version 10.3.1.A.0.244 - What the heck???

Usually what happens is, you probably deleted some of the apps that came pre-installed but are not necessary components. When you run an update check, they will notice that some of those pre-installed apps are missing, and will prompt you to do an update. Post-update, you'll find some of those apps installed on your system again. The update you saw was probably anywhere between 5mb - 80mb.
Minor update. It happened in the past .

customization update if you've noticed it's only update the customization number and most probably fixed the bugs
I had something similar on an o2 branded handset recently, was to add in the 4G toggle since the UK networks have started using 4G now.

I am glad the poster started this thread as I also had an update soon after flashing generic firmware over the O2 branded one that came with my phone, and wondered how come.
On the info offered in this thread I went ahead and installed it.
I can confirm this update added the 4g option in mobile networks.
Indeed a minor update in which data and root remain intact (no need to back-up/re-root ).
Ive already updated my phone 2 days after its release through sony pc companion. Ive just received a notification a while ago that i have a new update which is 14.4.A.0.108. Should I update?
I have the same, I try update by OTA but nothing happen, I thing is some kind of mistake.
flash an official kernel ftf of .108 and then again flash your desired kernel...the problem fixes
