[Q] Firmware Update Failed!

Hello Guys,
I had rooted my SGN before & restored to stock ROM DXKL2. However whenever i tried to update the firware from Software Update, it always says "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or Visit Samsung Service Center".
The update download & installation seemed to run well accordingly, but after reboot with "Uploading Media Files" display, the screen simply goes off half way for reboot again, and once SIM PIN gets input, the above display shows up.
May i know how is this happening? Thanks in advance.

What was the Firmware version when you bought the Phone?? If it is different than KL2, Try restoring firmware which was ter when u bought it. Then Update via Phone or Kies.

Thanks for the tips, Mr Ranjan.Alva. It really worked when i flashed it back to its out of the box stock ROM DXKJ3 Gingerbread 2.3.5.
It could simply download, install & reboot perfectly to latest ROM DXLA1 now

[Q] Xperia X1 - Stock ROM

I have an Xperia X1a, which is locked to Rogers.
I've tried several times to update it from the R2A ROM up to R3A through the official Sony update software, but it refuses to detect my phone. I've gone through all kinds of troubleshooting to get it to work accross multiple PCs with no success.
I've given up on the official method and decided to download the stock R3A firmware and flash it manually. However, links to the firmware images are all dead.
Would anyone out there happen to have a copy of the Rogers R3A firmware, or the generic North American R3A firmware?
While I'm at it, does anyone also have the Windows Live panel? Something else that has disappeared from the Internet.

I downloaded and installed the latest Update Service from Sony's website, installed it, etc.
The update manager won't go past the screen asking me to put remove my battery, hold down the power and volume down buttons, than connect my phone to my PC.
The Xperia X1 starts in the colored stripe-mode, but the update manager simply won't detect that it's been connected. Windows detects the Xperia and installs the "Microsoft USB Sync" driver without a hitch. The Xperia is using the stock 0.72 spl.
I've gone through countless hours of troubleshooting, both online and by contacting Sony directly (I even brought my phone and laptop in to the local Sony store and they just can't get it to work).
I've given up on the update manager, which is why I want the stock R3A .nbh file to bypass the need for Sony's buggy updater.

Updated my phone, but update message is still pending?

I got notification about 10.31.A.2.67 and tried to update few times unsuccessfully. After that updated through Sony PC companion. The problem is phone still displaying notification that new update pending. How do I get rid of it?

Try with factory reset your phone, can be something left behind since .244 that is causing your phone to be unsynced with Sonys FW update servers.

Yes all original.

I got this kind of problem. When I can't upgrade under OTA from .244 to .67, then I used Sony PC Companion. Finished upgrade and reboot also got .67 OTA upgrade notification. It can't be upgrade again. Then I tried rooted by DooMLord method and solved by flashed DooMLoRD XperiaZ_KernelOnly_.67.ftf. I guess that maybe I got kernel problem of my phone root under .244 before.

[Q] Cannot update Xperia Z1 to Android 5.0 Lollipop

Hello,
I cannot update my Xperia Z1 (C6902) from Andoid 4.4.2 to Android 5.0. The update was available for me since day before yesterday. I have downloaded the OTA 3 times. When I try to install it, the phone restarts and I can see the Android logo and a loading bar. However, after 15 seconds or so, the installation fails and the mobile phone restarts to the Android 4.4.2. On restarts, it says that the update failed and please download again. I also tried updating my phone via PC (I am using Windows 7 64-bit) using Sony Companion. Still, no luck. Sony companion detects the phone, tells me that there is an update available. I selected the option to update my phone. It asked me to disconnect the phone. I dissconnected the phone. It connects to the Internet and downloads something, probably Sony Update Engine. However, if I remember correctly, when it downloads the update package, it shows the size and time remaining. It did not show the time or the size. That means that it did not download the update package. After downloading the Sony Update Engine, it says that it is preparing my PC for the update (there is no more download going on). After preparing the PC, the Update Application is terminated. How do I solve this problem?

[Q] Updating from 4.0.3 problems.

Hi all , 1st post here so hi from Scotland.
As t' title says I'm having Hassle's updating my GT-N7000 from 4.0.3 OTA vie settings/about phone/software update/update. It downloads fine, reboots and runs the extraction/update however when it gets to the home screen I'm told that the update has failed and to connect the phone to a PC via Kies Air. Only problem is I don't have a PC but i do have a nexus 7 13 which says is incompatible with kies according to Google play.
So I'm here begging favours people, anyone got a suggestion or workaround thingy? And thanks for reading.

Is the device rooted?

No, there's a couple of launchers installed but it's not rooted.
I was wondering if I downloaded it and then booted to the boot-menu if I could run it from there, but then would that make a difference?

You can make a backup of your files & settings and do a factory reset. Maybe after that the ota update works. Give it a try, if not you need a PC and flash latest Stock Rom...

Thanks User_99,I'll give that a try. :good:
