Im on O2 UK and i've got the update waiting in my notifications, just not done it yet!
Got it like a week ago.
I bought the phone unlocked just over a week ago and updated it straight away to .245.
Have you tried using 'SUS' rather than PC Companion?

I loaded PC Companion and it said .257 was the latest. I then rooted and loaded a custom ROM based on .245 then tried PC Companion again and it said a new update was available and listed .245.

Sony seem to control their updates by "SI" number (have a look under the back panel of your phone for your 'original' one). The SI number relates to a specific market, i.e. factory unlocked UK, EE UK, Vodafone UK, etc. will all have different SI numbers and all get updates at different times.
The reason you have an update available now where you didn't previously is because the custom ROM you flashed has a different SI number than your original phone came with -- you can verify this by checking your SI number against the one in your build.prop file on the line "ro.semc.version.cust".

Which is different to mine (a factory unlocked UK device). Your choices now are to either wait until your carrier has signed off the latest firmware, at which point the update will show up in SUS and probably on PC Companion too, or you can take matters in to your own hands...
Im livin in germany and I was also on 257 and sus and system said, that Im up to date (o2 provider).
So I decided, to flash the 245 fw manually with the flashtool via pc, cause I didnt want to wait.

Same here,i tried everything,flashing a fresh 350 firmware but i couldn't update the phone via ota.
I have an unlocked bootloader,i locked it but same things.

The .434 update was released a couple weeks ago, I guess there are different release schedules for every country.
I had my XZ rooted with the locked bootloader method ( goroh_kun's ), and ota updates does not work.
Updated through Sony Bridge for Mac, it works, but the root access was lost. Re rooted it with the same method and it works
Seriously? I still have nothing even on PC companion. I'm on unbranded but use an O2 sim.

Same here, and Three don't even have any forums to ask how long updates should be taking, it's been three weeks now and absolutely nothing.
I knew Sony would be slow with updates but didn't realise I would then have to wait for Three to push it through! Will probably have to wait at least six months to get the 4.2.2 update! lol
Extremely bad customer service from Three so will be leaving them when my contract is up, can't even use Google to search for any helpful information as a company called 'Three' brings up almost every query regardless of network operator :silly:

Well, I haven't had the update and I will probably never get it! In a German forum someone contacted the customer care of my provider (t-mobile Germany) and was told by the tech-support that t-mobile will not roll out the .434 as their techs thought that it would harm the phone more than it actually helped. So they're waiting for the next update...
Dunno if it's true, but I could imagine that it is, as every provider releases their updates differently, so they might skip one as well...
you might wanna check if they do?
Any one from sri lanka got update?I got mine from Metropolitan with.310 .can anyone give there customization number pls.
tnx
Same here bro, bought from Metropolitan and still on 4.1.2 tried PC Companion and update center, but not showing any updates.

Is it wise machan? rooting just after buying it with company warranty?
earlier i had another Xperia device and i rooted and unlocked bootloader within days, and then playing with it by flashing custom roms maybe 2,3 times per week and at the end it didn't end up well. i heard that there is a life time for the ROM too... so before do anything think twice, coz this is a good phone

Only Sony and/or your provider can confirm that, but even then it would be nice if you could tell us what version are you on now? You don't even tell us that so how are we meant to help you......
Oh sorry! Haha I'm on 4.2.2 at the moment. When do you think the UK will get a 4.3/4.4 update

Why don't you just use Flashtool to get it to your phone using one of the available ftf's ?
Here is a video on how to do that:
No I don't want to void my warranty by rooting. I am just wondering when I might get the update. Thanks anyways for your helps

Flashing with flashtool don't need root acces and it can't be detected.
You have to read before ask,you will have a reponse faster.
Read that ,if your Z1 is not on the list wait a week or two or flash with Flashtool
I would update through the PC companion. Many people seem to have encountered problems flashing with flashtool on this update. It was taking forever for the ota for me as well

When the Z1 first announcement it come with 4.2.2 already. So if he ask for 4.3 or 4.4 that meant he on 4.2.2 already.

Whether you use UK generic or any other generic one does not make a difference whatsoever, but it's up to you.
I have never encountered any problems when using Flashtool. Just make sure to use the most recent version.
The 4.3 is avaliable so if you use OTA or SEUS you get it.
As for rooting, it doesnt avoid your warranty unless you remove the root and install a clean version when you deliver the device for repair or replace it.
Only thing that avoid the warranty is unlocking the bootloader.
Keep your .257 rooted version and wait for a rooted locked version for 4.3.
Btw there will come a hotfix version in January (newer 4.3) for Z1.
4.4 will come April/May i think...

Hi my xperia Z1 has still not updated or given me any notifications. I connected it to PC and checked with sony PC Companion but it is still saying that my phone is updated with the latest version. What should I do?
Thank you
Matt
Which country do you live? And which provider are you on? Do you have a branded or unbranded device? Which model of Z1 do you have( for example: mine is c6903)? Is PC Companion updated to the latest version? As you can read there are many possible factors why your device hasn't got the update yet! Updates are rolled out in phases! You can decide to wait or you can update via flashtool( flash a ftf, no root needed)

Hi there and thanks for reply. To answer your questions, I happen to live in Malta in Europe, and my provider is Vodafone. The sony z1 is an original buy and branded. My model is also C6903. I will check if I happen to have the latest update of PC Companion. I actually prefer to wait some more rather than update manually. What do you recommend?

I would suggest you manual flashing, my girlfriends Z1 was same branded as mine (Polish orange), I was sick of waiting for update and flashed the global version on my own, she still didn't recieve 4.4.2 update.
I was also scared before flashing firmware, but now am cool n happy with kitkat, imma give you link to my thread about flashing it(am also total noob when comes about phones), its easy-peasy.

I tend to agree with you otherwise why do Sony have so many different (counrty) versions.
You would'nt by chanch have 108.ftf ?
The differnces are either cosmetic or include/do not include certain apps to apply with local legislation. It also helps deliver updates on a global scale without everyone downloading at the same time. They can stagger the release. It makes sense to do this for many reasons.
All this makes no difference to phone performance. You can flash any regions FTF as long as its for your device (C6903 etc)
