For the past half hour I've been trying to update using PC Companion, but it keeps downloading the .257 firmware over and over again, and then saying there's no update for my device once it finishes downloading and rebooting my device.
Anyone else getting this?
I am on Generic NCB firmware .257, and when I start PC Companion it does mention the .290 update.
EDIT: Nevermind, after a reboot it finally downloaded .290...

I tried installing the xposed installer for Volumebutton song switch.

I've downloaded doomlords flashtool, but i get this error when trying to open it, and the Generic nordic firmware .ftf
(Sweden here)
I've tried connecting the phone in any of the modes trying to repair it with PC companion, but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks
Device is on stock 1.257 FW. I have rooted and installed CWM for locked bootloader. Device says a 91mb OTA system update is available to go to 2.245 but after download and rebooting to install the update, the update fails and the device reboots to says "unable to install update, please try again". So I tried PC Companion which says an update to 2.254 is available, it downloads and gets as far as "checking tablet/smartphone", the phone reboots (and goes into charging mode) and PC Companion crashes, locking up the whole PC requiring a hard reset.
Anybody got any idea what is going on? How can I get either of these methods to work correctly?
Edit: Tried to update via SUS and it had the same result as PC Companion, crashed and locked up PC completely.
If you have added any mods or deleted any bloatware then it will always fail.
For the ota to work you need a completely untouched, just out of the box phone.

I haven't added any mods or deleted any stock apps. I wouldn't know how to remove CWM, so I guess OTA is not possible any more.
Have been trying to update device for 13 hours without success. PC Companion and SUS just keep crashing time after time after time. Wouldn't work in safe mode either, simply will not recognise the device.
Thought I might try flashing 1.257 kernel only, to see if that would overwrite CWM, but flashtool will not work. When I reboot into flash mode, it keeps giving an error saying it needs the drivers from the drivers folder which I had already installed and have now done another 7 times. That is all it does is give an error and then asks for a driver that is already installed.
I am unable to unroot as no method exists apart from flashing an ftf file. But seeing as flashtool doesn't actually work I suppose it doesn't matter that there isn't a UK SIM Free Generic (SI 1272-0816/Cus Ver. 1272-4687) 12.0.A.1.257 (or 2.245 or 2.254) ftf file.
Guys while updating Android 4.3 14.2.A.1.136 firmware via PC companion on Z1(India), I got stuck at step 2, it says preparing sofware and the bar is nearing its end and it takes 5 mins and then the process window closes and again my pc companion shows a new software upgrade is availble for your phone and if i repeat the process again i get the same issue................even i installed SUS, but while opening SUS it says an error has occurred your apllication will shutdown......any help can be appreciated....thx
I also tried reinstalling my pc compnaion and also SUS but, I face the same issue. Can you guys tell me any solutions?????
Flash via Flashtool.
I think my Z1 is semibricked. I can enter flashmode and stuff and it vibrates. It sometimes boots up and says Update failed connect to computer and try again. (This was after it failed with Sony Companion)
Now im trying to flash with flashtool in flashmode. It writes alot of files but it always stops at system.sin
What should i do?
I have tried with two different firmwares.
( The phone is a C6903 Unbranded)
I now flashed and excluded system.sin
It went thru. But now its stuck on Sony Boot Logo.
Any idea what the next step should be?
I reinstalled Sony Companion and reinstalled Flashtool Drivers, but the problem still exists. What am i doing wrong?
Just as the title said I tried to flash stock firmware to my xperia tx but it stuck at checking header. I guess my phone was soft bricked while I tried to install a custom rom. I failed to install it but then when I reboot it, my phone couldn't boot to the recovery. Now when I try to turn it on it'll just show the sony logo and then it goes blank.
Then I tried flashtool i've already downloaded the firmware and driver. But everytime I tried to flash it, it stuck at checking header. At first I tried to wait for it because I don't know how long it takes (newbie here). But i've waited for an hour and still nothing happened... please someone help me
