I used to have a ZL with 4.2.2 from my carrier. I used to get regular updates such as walkman, music etc in my updates section.
Now i've a brand new Z - with 4.1.2 from the same carrier!! there are no further updates for Z from them
So instead of waiting I've gone ahead and flashed it with stock 4.3 ROM from here. everything seems to work fine so far.
But there is nothing in the updates seciton yet. for example the walkman app with this rom is old. Why am i not getting notified automatically about this? Is it because this ROM is not from my carrier?
If yes, will i not get any update notification?

If you are on 4.3 you should already have the latest apps and you will get notified of any updates in the update centre as they happen.

Then shouldn't I be getting the notification for the walkman and movies update? We already know there are newer versions of this released by sony.

Does anyone know when/if there will be an OTA update for the new 4.2.2 firmware? I have flashed a generic NL .253 .ftf and I also never received
the other updates OTA. I do want to update, but I want to keep root access. I know I can flash a new generic ftf and gain root access with the perf_event exploit, but just updating OTA is easier I guess. Thanks in advance!

Depends what you mean with easier.
If you're willing to wait another month (just an example) for the OTA then yes it would be easy.
You can flash the T-Mobile NL FTF, gain root, remove root within an hour. I'm quite sure that you will have to wait a lot longer then an hour for OTA to even come out.
A month does seem like an awful long time..

I just did the original Japanese xperia z 4.2.2 update and it is fine it didn't change the language or anything I just flashed it over the old one done. Is even rooted. And It has no issues. So there is already ways on getting the official 4.2.2 update.

Just download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339421
Open flashtool

This way you keep your root and your Phone will have in 5 minutes the latest version!
Done this yesterday myself
I just bought my wife the XZ and I see many people have problems with the 4.2.2 update and their battery. I also see mixed comments on it being fixed in this update and not on that one.
So my question is: would it be better to leave her phone on 4.1.2 at the moment or are all the bugs worked out? Were on TMOUS, the phone says there is no update but I saw u can update from the computer correct?
Thanks

with flashtools you can upgrade it to 4.2.2 with a FTF file if you would like. I have seen/read on version .244 (4.2.2) the battery bug should of gone

Also with newly flashed rom, i dont see the LTE symbol on the status bar. It has bars all the time -whether i'm on wifi or LTE. I see some threads talking about adding the APN for my carrier, but would that change the status bar notification? It looks like thats the way the ROM is.
I'm close to reverting back to my bell rom - its a pity its still on 4.1
For any canadian bell users, what ROM are you using that works well???

Try doing it again. Just downloaded it today. I noticed that it worked when the album apk icon showed up istead of the blueprint apk icon.

Hi Guys,
For some reason I cannot upgrade to Kit Kat...
When I plug my phone into PC Companion it says that I already have the latest version.
My problem started with the previous upgrade. All seemed well during the upgrade process but when I looked I had none of the new features and my build number still showed. 290
I tried to run it again but it said that I already has the latest firmware. Now it's refusing to recognise any new firmware telling me that I am updated when I'm not
Any advice anybody?

It might be that your carrier hasn't released the update yet.

Hey no my phone is unlocked and simfree. It's just not recognising the firmware on my phone. I have not even been able to update to 136 as my firmware is on 290 still and it's telling me that I have the latest firmware... Which I obviously don't.

Happened to me too. Here's what I did. I flashed this ftf. You can flash any other KitKat ftf that you prefer in the general section. Just make sure that it has this firmware (14.3.A.0.681) and uses the same model number (C6903).
