Update to 10.A1.434 failed

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

Thanks! Only tried the OTA update since I'm not at home.
Will give the pc companion a try later.

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!

This is the result of an unlocked bootloader. Sony doesn't support you via SUS when you have a unlocked bootloader! This has nothing to do with root! You can flash the latest firmwares for different regions (FTF's) using flashtool! So no probs mate! By the way, you would have lost the drm keys by unlocking your BL which results in that you have LOST your bravia engine!

Try to read dev section if you wanna know more..

Unlocked bootloader and new firmware

Hi, today ihave unlocked and rooted my friend's xperia z, and i got software update in PCC, can i update it or should i go by installing it via flashtool?
thanks

You can't update or restore the Z via PPC or SUS.
So you'll have to use Flashtool or EMMA Flashtool.
But why go through the hassle of unlocking the bootloader if you will keep stock firm?

its a minor update and you won't loose anything. Also, it tells you all the details whether it will wipe your data or not before you start installing the update through Pc Companion.

Thank you
