Hi!
My Z1 firmware is 14.1.G.1.518, and i saw in the sony's website from my region(Portugal) that there is a newer version, the 14.1.G.1.534.
But when i connect the mobile through PC companion or Update service it says that i'm already with lastest update. Anyone knows a reason why this is happening? :|

because they do not release all updates at once, just wait until it hits your region

Hello, 4.3 has been around for a long time for the Xperia T but i cannot find any way to update mine, pc companion says it is up to date and there is no new software in the phone software update app, and yes i checked all 3 tabs, my carrier is EE (im guessing orange and t mobile release at the same time, correct me if im wrong ) any help with updating it? thank you
Good day, I have a problem with my android and firmware update. I have seen some blogs about xperiaV posting that they already have JB 4.3 update and the latest version of firmware 9.2.a.2.5.. I am wondering how they update it 'cause when i connect my phone to Pc and run the PC Companion, i check the update and it says my phone/tablet is up to date, but the android version of my phone was still 4.1.2 and the firmware version is 9.1.a.1.140.. I don't understand what is the problem of my phone or at my PC Companion Software. I tried also connecting my phone to internet and check for update and still it says my system is up to date. My main concern why i wanted to update my phone, it is because my phone is now dead signal as in no signal (by the way i'm form the Philippines using Smart Communication Network postpaid) I've already switching the network from GSM only and to other choices provided but still no signal. I tried switching my Airplane mode and it displays an airplane icon on the signal area (I think airplane mode is working well, never tried using is). I've read some blogs also that you need to root your phone and flash the firmware and so on to update the android version, but i think its just changing the room, not really updating the system. I don't want to do that 'cause my phone might turn into bootloap 'cause i don't have much knowledge on doing that. I've read also some blogs stating that there is a bug or network issue on version 4.1.2. So i am looking forward from anybody here in the forum who can help or teach me what to do to update my android and firmware version.
I am not sure of it useful to 'upgrade" the phone to solve a problem - this problem of yours. If I were you I'd use the repair my phone option in PC-Companion first, and then see what happens with the phone signal.
You can simly flash any ftf file for your phone with flashtool. Not the sony one. You don't need root access for it
#Mr. Peter-K I've tried it already just a minute ago and still no use. Related to the blogs that i have read regarding on the 4.1.2 version network bug. there problem has been solve after updating the version of there android.

Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Download 9.2.A.2.5 unbranded coming from Singapore or HongKong (since you're from Asia) and follow the instructions to flash.
Good luck

You can jump straight to 9.2.A.2.5
It's important that you wipe all your data... and Flashtool will do it for you automatically if you don't change anything just before flashing
Mr. Istux got an OT question here. I have concern also on my network set up. I want to unlock my network so that i can use other sim card. My phone is Lock to Smart Communication Postpaid. So i wanted it to be open-line. Hope you can give some advise to solve my concern..

I actually don't know how sim-unlocking works.
Have you ever asked to your network? Usually they give you a code after having paid a little fine.

Back to my thread.still my phone signal is not working. i just found out w while ago that if i am in the higher place like 2nd floor of the building, i got a 2g network and my phone signal is working. but if i'm already at the ground floor the signal is not working. is it ok if i am going to do open line on my so that it will receive any type of network or is it really the software problem of my phone causing the signal not working??
Hi,
Im trying to restore Xperia Z1 original firmware (that can get updates from Sony) and I cant seem to succeed...
I have used flashtool but the software is just not right:
I can't use Wi-Fi, the sim is not working anymore (Im from Israel), everytime the phone get shut down - it asks me in what language do I want to use...
`I have tried using PC companion (Repair) also` but it tells me that my phone doesnt have an update.
I dont know what to do anymore
any advice?
Just download a rom for your model z1 and use, 'Flashtool' to flash the image.

I did that.
The IMEI is gone. Nothing seems to work ...
its probably because the flash version is not compatible with the baseband. Try flashing an older version (for eg. .108 version : u can get it from mega ftf thread in general section) and then after the flash, pc companion should detect and install the latest update.
So today i got a new unopened xperia Z from a friend for free
So i went on connecting to my WIFI it shows that the device needs to updated to frimware 10.31.A.2.67
(which i later learned that it was a update released in 2013).But i didnt update.
My phone is in frimware 10.1.A.1.434 which i guess is an old frimware.
Can i directly update to a new frimware ?Can i update it to 4.4.4 or newer versions and also how?
My device is xperia Z C6603

You can install SONY PC companionon your PC and use that to update your phone.
If that still doesnot help, you can use flashtool which is unofficial way to upgrade/downgrade your phone.
You would need FTF from general section and also flashtool which you can get from here. Make sure the FTF is device specific or your would end up bricking up your phone

You can search xda for how to use it. If you still have questions, quote me and I would be glad to help
I updated my xperia z1(c6906) to 5.1.1 using flashtool. i am from bahrain and the ftf file was US generic. after update my phone shows Invalid sim message. I tried installing older firmwares but still no use. Rest everything works fine.
what should i do?
I had installed c6903 ftf file so does it effect the phone?

If your phone is 6906 than you should only use 6906 firmwares to update your phone.
Hasn't their been a update notification on your phone?

I don't know. I think it has something to do with the baseband maybe.
I never had the situation that I flashed a wrong firmware to my phone.
Are you sure you downloaded the firmware you needed?
Have you tried the repair function from pc Companion?
