Hi everyone,
Today, the 14.1.G.2.257 OTA update was finally available here in France. However, when I try to install it, after a short moment with Budroid and a progress bar that doesn't reach the end, the phone reboots and a message saying the update failed appears.
There is ROM available that suits me, so I want to make this work.
I'm running a stock 14.1.G.1.534 for C6903, rooted with vRoot, and debloated a little. I also have the dual recovery, and my bootloader is still locked.
Thanks for reading !
had the same today was on ee 534 in the uk & had ota update note and fail. so flashed generic uk 534 in flashtool & unticked wipe options except cache then re-rooted with kingo & then got update via ota again & now have 257 with root. onlt takes about 20 minutes. hope this helps
Tested and approuved with generic Fr 534.
Thanks a lot !

I downgraded to 303 uk to root, but after OTA I get stuck on a recovery screen with a toolbox and warning triangle on.
I have tried leaving it it just continually reboots.
phone was on uk EE 195 fw, it is bootloader locked, and not allowed.
PCCompanion does not fix it or flashing the ftf made of my original 195 update, seems the ee fw didn't allow OTA.
Any Ideas before my battery dies?
wowser it took 35 for the ota to complete.......
all sorted now
I am patiently waiting everyday since they announced 253 but till today I still got no prompt from it. Any Canadian get prompt to update your firmware?

First, what model do you have? 6603 or 6602? Do you have root? Did you unlock your bootloader? I am in mexico and I received my update for the 6602 one week ago
You can download any FTF and flash it via flashtools, if you want stock, if you are in custom rom with UB you will always be able to update manually and never lose root
I own a C6903 in USA.. the firmware version is 14.3.A.0.757 Customized UK
I am constantly and annoyingly receiving OTA update notification about the 14.4.A.0.108 update, but it cannot update because of 'could not verify' error. It also cannot update through the PC companion software, it says 'the phone/tablet contains modified software that cannot be updated'
Any idea on the cause of this error? Can anyone suggest a suitable firmware that can receive OTA update?
You have a rooted device or modified in some other way.
It's good that Sony prevented Ota updates for such devices as back in the days it caused a hard brick.
If you want to update then you can do this in a few ways :
Put your phone into flash mode and update via pc companion (your phone will be 100% wiped including internal storage)
Download an FTF from xda and flash it via flash tool (all will be wiped)
Get yourself a recovery from @[NUT] download a custom rom with the firmware of your choice and flash it. There are some that will not wipe your phone and you'll keep root that way.
Good luck
thanks a lot for clear and concise direction... got to update using the flashtool... everything good so far...
Hi,
device : Z1 software 14.5.A.0.242 Active customization 1276-5845_R3D - SFR FR layer - bootloader unlock not allowed
I already tried to do it with, I think, brick result (message update failed with logo on black screen).
This happens during I try to downgrade to 4.4.4, probably due to bad ftf file (not for SFR layer).
Fortunaly, I reached to recover it at the last lollipop version with flashtool and the correct bundle.
I not competly newbie but I'm not an expert too.
So, if I understood correctly :
1 - If anyone can help me with details on how to proceed to downgrade to 4.4.4,
2 - Then root (I think I could do it alone because I did it once), but as it is a long time for me (already lost one day with this try), so help is welcome.
3 - Install recovery system
4 - Then install a pre-rooted lollipop version.
Thanks for any support.

Updating is easy and if Sony PC Companion is malfunctioning, you could use Flashtool ( get it here )
After that you can download the latest firmware ( ftf format ) here
There are some guides on how to flash the latest firmware, and don't worry flashing won't void your warranty or root your device.
This is the best and the most informative click me
Good luck
Hi
If I do that, will ota updates work in future?
Don't have time to fiddle around too much now and again every time there's an update,
Any ideas how to get it to pick up the ota update, which I'm sure has already been released for its region?
There's a thread around here with a tool to download the official full firmware files per region and flash them to your phone.
As long as you use a region that's compatible (with radios and all) the effect should be a perfectly fresh installed stock phone that will pick up OTA's just like any other official firmware.
sony flashtool or something? I can't remember.
Hi,

23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - GLOBAL (1286-9917) #1
But i dont see lollipop updates for it.

Pls help with some advise asap which will work
