When will the 4.2.2 update be released in the UK? Seems like it's been out for a while, yet my phone still hasn't found the update using either OTA or with PC Companion on my laptop.
We don't have the insight to say. Nobody has. And no crystal balls.
4.2.2 has been out for a few days only and is clearly rolling out across the piste.
Just wait patiently or use one of the other Generic ones if you're really that desperate. They're all basically the same apart from minor app differences.
I think Vodafone has released it someone on another forum updated his to 422 via Sony bridge on a Mac.
Never.... (joking)
Considering we were left out of the last few updates wouldn't surprise me if we are the last to get this one.
So I would guess a month

You have a UK unbranded device? Customisation number 1270-7689? Or some other UK device?
Not booting up my PC to find out if this is true or not, as other methods of checking are still showing 434 as the latest available for UK unbranded.
Edit: I see you edited your post. Yes, most are aware that Vodafone have updated

Mines was a VF UK handset upgrade - so branded to them. The phone itself didn't report any system/software upgrades, but as soon as I ran up PCC and plugged it in, PCC kicked off the upgrade.
Just use the Sony original Japanese update it doesn't change the language or anything and everything works out is the official Sony update and u just flash it with a flash tool no wipe of data or anything and u can easily root it with doomlords rooting method. It's a one click root.

Just change to a different generic customization. Some people seem to think that there is something special about UK firmware, but that isn't true at all (except that it seems to get updated last). All customizations contain the same baseband, kernel and core. The only difference is the bundled apps, build.prop and some overlays. I think 'Generic ES' is the best customization to change to. It contains all Sony apps (so you won't lose Video Unlimited or anything), of course it also contains all languages and it seems to get updates first.
Also, please stop asking when an update for a certain customization will be released. Nobody will be able to tell you, so it's completely useless to ask. There are ways enough to check the latest version for your customization. I have a list that I update daily or even multiple times a day, you can also create a browser bookmark to Sony's Firmware Update Server (see same thread) or you can use this web check: http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/.
Don't worry, it should come sometime this decade...we might even get the firmware update that everyone else has had for 2 months before 2017...wouldn't that be great?

Instead of waiting weeks/months/ages and complaining, just change to a different firmware customization like everyone else did. What are you scared of? There's always the possibility of changing back to 'Generic UK'.

That doesn't exist. In Japan, the Xperia Z was only available through the carrier NTT DoCoMo, which had a slightly different version with a different model number (SO-02E).
Check this list for the available customizations: [INFO] Latest firmware version per customization (region/branding). For the UK, I would recommend 'Generic ES'.

Downloading the 'Generic TW' FTF and flashing it with Flashtool, or changing your customization number in build.prop and updating with Sony PC Companion will give exactly the same result. 'Generic TW' is the only customization that has been updated for C6602. It also seems to get updates first each time. So I recommend to use that firmware.
I will sell my XZ and buy Galaxy S4 i think, its not about changing customization etc it shows how Sony treat UK customers...

Good luck with your (plastic) Galaxy S4 (with ugly *** TouchWiz) then. Hopefully Samsung will release updates faster to the UK
Do you really care so much about the 'Generic UK' customization? It's not like it contains any special features that can't be found in other customizations.

Greetings.
I have a doubt with the updates and their country of origin, currently I have a xperia Z with fw (UK unbanded - Generic) which is in the 4.1 version of android.
Which I would like to take the official 4.2 packaged by sony, not to lose some functionality.
The problem is that the cell I occupy in the operator Entel Chile, which does not have the phone in their stock, so do not carry the approval respectively, thus not release updates.
1. I can use a firmware from another country?,
2. The firmware by country, just change the predefined settings, such as group of operators?
3. If you can change your country, do you recommend any??

You can flash any Stock.ftf using the flashtool. It doesn't matter which region it's for. There is guides on this forum everywhere.
I would like to know if flashing another region's FTF, will the customization be changed as well? Are there options to skip flashing the customizations?

If I flash a Generic C6603 Stock FW on my C6606 from T-Mobile, will I get updates from Sony through OTA or Mac Bridge?
Basically will my phone then act like a C6603 when reporting model?
I am just wondering if I can use this as a way to get official updates from Sony faster than what T-Mobile will provide.
Thanks
In firmware related, your c6606 is in fact a c6603 right now, so there could be no reasons on updates should install correctly on your fake c6603

I've switched my 6606 from T-Mobile to a stock 6603 and get updates direct from Sony now. I just got one a couple days ago actually. Hotspot also works, as well as no T-Mobile bloatware anywhere on the phone!

You keep LTE. I always select to exclude baseband in Flashtool just for the heck of it, it's not required.
Hi runbadgerrun,
Your thread has been moved from the General section to the Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section. Please post in the correct sub-forums in future.

Hi guys, I was needing some help, I have tried to update to kitkat but my pc companion keeps telling me that the latest is out, I'm still on .101, I'm in the uk and my Z is running unbranded generic uk software I believe.
here is my firmware and customisation #....
Phone Software Version 1269-5309_10.4.1.B.0.101
File System Version GLOBAL-LTE_10.4.1.B.0.101
Customisation Version 1270_7689_R5C
as far as I'm aware the update was available in the uk, but I cant seem to be able to update, can anyone tell me if the UK generic update is released yet and if not what current regions have been released so far?
I'm pretty sure the UK release was active as my pc companion notified me of it.
It's not released for Generic UK yet.
Use this link to check when it is.

Hi All
I have noticed some devices are already getting OTA for 23.4.A.0.546, however I still don't : despite the release date being a few weeks back by now confused:
Is there a customized .ftf file for the UK someone could supply I could use to flash my device to the latest? Has this already been released? Since I am on mac, I have no access to xperifirm.
Thanks,
Seb
Are you sure that you are in the correct Forum ? I doubt you mean the Xperia Z4...
Sorry friend that firmware is only released for Xperia z3 and Xperia z2. Not for z3+
Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
You are both absolutely right - I must have misread a blog post.
Nevertheless, strange what's taking Sony so long?
If I had to guess I'd say that Sony probably halted the certification process for the Z3+ in order to wait for their upcoming firmware version that will include the stagefright patch. Hopefully that will start rolling out this month...
Very good point. This seems to be top of th e agenda!
