So here is my issue:
I have flashed a UK based .244 rom on my device awaiting the official push from t-mobile.
My dev: 6606 (tmo var) running UK based 224 rom
Tonight i receive notification that an update is available on my device.
Attempting to install reboots device and fails to install.
Updates states ver 10.3.1.a.0.244 which my device is already running (just a diff. region 6603 based rom)
Notification persist. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Should i rollback (factory) and install or is there a fix to install US patch or trick device into thinking update was completed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ty ^.^
performing factory reset now, hopefully i get update notif. and everything goes smoothly.
only thing i changed in old rom (uk .244) was build.prop device info to 6606 from 6603, for acurate sysinfo screen.
well it looks the factory reset didnt rollback to stock FW.
Looks like ill have to attempt a rollback via recovery or flash stock FW via recovery.
@ work now so well c.
Use pcc or sus to update.

Hi, I would like to post a request of solution to a problem faced by a number of Xperia Z series devices users out there. For the latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569) from SONY, the OTA update could not be installed despite being able to be downloaded successfully. The file size is 318MB for my ZL. Once completed the download the phone will reboot itself into its recovery and soon after a few seconds it reboots itself and give an undismissable notification of "could not install". As reconfirmed with other users, root does not seem to be the problem. No official comment was given and close to none from XDA. Could anyone please help with poor users affected by this issue?

I'm not sure, but I think it's the CWM or TWRP, perhaps it's the boot.img ... don't know.... To update to newest FW follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850

Am using stock recovery...….so don't think it is related to the recovery...
u said u did it ota so umm have u tried via pc companion to update ure phone ?
if youre not rooted may i suggest using pc companion or flashing the ftf via sony ericson flasher (sony rom ) required to update the phone
Beside you can also use EMMA, but think this will reset your phone to factory defaults.
For my phone it installed an older build (0.244) and then I was able to get the latest FW by OTA.

Hi all,
After rooting and installing CWM recovery I see that the Application Software version differs from the File System version - 9.2.A.0.295 vs 9.2.A.1.210. Is this normal? I have updated the phone through Sony PC Companion as the OTA was failing (had to lock the bootloader). Now I'm getting OTA notifications about the 1.210 version, which I already have. It's not a big deal, I can force stop it, but I am concerned about the version differences.
The phone is Xperia V.
I can share more details, if needed.
Found the issue - I was rooting the phone and installing CWM recovery. After installing the recovery, which included flashing custom kernel.elf in order to install the SuperSu app, and re-flashing the stock kernel.elf, the issue occurred again. Looks like the stock kernel.elf is not up to date, causing the system to think that there is a new FW version and popping up in OTA as a reminder to update. Case closed
Ok so I just received the OTA here in the UK. I downloaded it and when I finally did it wouldn't work. It said I needed a "victara" version and that I have a cm_victara version. That's because I have a custom recovery right?
So I installed multi-tool to restore my phone to stock and also installed the stock recovery. Full wipe and all. I then proceeded to install the OTA again but no luck it said that it had a problem.
Any ideas guys?
So far after using multi tool my phone is KXE21.187-42 and the system version is "21.21.42.victara_tmo.tmo.enUS retgb"
Now when I actually download the OTA the version it's downloading is the ".US" version.
Would really appreciate the help guys, been stuck on this for a whole day now. Also wiped my phone repeatedly lo
Hi, I tried searching for this here (I remember reading something about the bootloop problem) but can't seem to find the thread, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have successfully rooted my Z3c using this guide all the way to the very end, however I noticed that the wifi wasn't working. I figured it was simply because I hadn't flashed the 23.1.A.0.690 firmware yet, but once I did, my phone is stuck in a bootloop; the sony logo appears and the phone resets over and over. I'm still able to go into fastboot but my question is, how can I put a stop to the boot loop? should I flash the newest FW (D5803_23.1.A.1.28_Customized_US.ftf), go back to the one the phone was shipped with (D5803_23.1.A.0.726_Customized_US.ftf), or reflash the root exploit one (D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_US.ftf)>
UPDATE: I flashed D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_US.ftf and the phone booted up without a hitch and kept rooted.

Bootloops on Android devices can be caused by multiple factors. I suggest Flashing the .93 Kitkat firmware from there Root and if I am not mistaken there are flashable ( .zip) Pre-Rooted Roms which are Lollipop found in the Android Development Section of this Area.
Just make sure to flash the FW corresponding to your Model Number either D5803/833
If you prefer the harder way you can always use Flashtool to flash the Stock 4.4 FTF it came with and upgrade from there.

Yeah, what I did was reflash the .77 FW without wiping system, and then, from there I flashed this 5.02 image, however now I am encountering a different problem: a persisting notification stating that I need to update google play services, even when I'm using the 7.5.73 version for 036. Has any one else encountered this problem? Is there a solution to this?

You can always download GAPPS manually, and flash it via Recovery if you think the Google Play Services that comes with your FW is bugged
Hi there!
I would like to update my xperia currently running on nougat, to oreo. Still locked bootloader and original 7.1.1 fw.
I have the latest flashtool, and used xperifirm to download the global oreo fw. Packed it with flashtool and tried to flash..
Sadly the first error came up, error root, this bundle is not valid..
After Prepare ftf for flashing, and connect phone, another error comes up, no loader.. And then it aborts flash..
How to flash? Is there any guide or thing I missed or forgot to do? My previous z3 was flashed the same way, and worked just fine..
Any screenshots?
No screenshots yet, I have to try again and make some shots.
if you have original, just wait for official update
I don't recommend updating to Oreo just yet. It has a few issues. If you REALLY wanna do it - just use the Xperia Companion app, open the software repair tab and the app will guide you through the process. From there just select the global 8.0. firmware. Ofc, back up your files cause it's a completely fresh install.
