So, OTA is not out yet.
Check for the update in Sony PC companion.
Make sure you are using official Sony firmware and you will lose root(if rooted) upon update through Sony PCC.
The application will download about 850MB from the internet.

[Q] No idea how to start an update HELP PLEASE

hello guys im new here and feel stupid to ask this, im not too good with computers and stuff and i really dont know how to start an update my xperia Z to 4.4 kitkat manually, i searched for it but no help because there are many things and versions etc so it got complicated for me, can someone help me? all i know that i got 4.3 update on my xperia Z that is 6603 model
Just Install Sony PC Companion (Download from Sony). Put USB Cable between your Xperia Z and PC and then start PC Companion Program. The Program search automatically for newest Firmware for your phone and then just Update. that's all.

you might wait for official update in your region
or
flash an ftf
For Germany still Android 4.3 or Version 10.4.1.B.0.101. My Xperia also from Germany.
So it means that the only way you can update to kitkat is by flashing a ftf using a flashtool or you still need to wait till your region release an update.

Try using flashtool to flash a FTF. The kernel will be reinstalled and this is very likely to fix your phone.
And where can i find my original kernel for 4.4.2 kitkat for xperia zr?Thank you.

Nope, that means u cant unlock bootloader.. If u want to repair ur phone then use Sony Update Service instead of PC Companion.. Or search & download 4.4.2 firmware ftf file & flash it using flashtool...

I search at internet and i find that 4.4.2 for c5503 was only released at nordic countris hong kong and taiwan.So i find the nordic version i install it with flashtool and then i tried again to repair my phone via pc companion,before his in the installation of pc companion i select as country region Sweden which is one of the nordic countries,but still i get the same message fro pc companion and i cant repair my phone with the original way.Maybe sony doesnt released yet 4.4.2 kitkat for Greece,because i think that however which sony gives you the right in the installation of pc companion to choose the country region automatiically spots you and select the rights that you have over your device.If im wrong at my thoughts let me know.Thank you,im waiting for your answers.

may b u r right. Sony would have not released software for your region yet.
I searched in Xperia firmware checker tool by IaguCool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142)
I select Xperia ZR 5503 in left side panel, then i see list of available versions. In that I saw 1274-1395 Nordic combined 10.5.A.0.230/R2D. On extreme right side u have download links.

Did you know maybe what means r3d or r2d at firmwares?And also that files from the program that you recommend me are not ftf right?

The tool is an exe file which checks the firmwares for most Xperia phones and gives latest ftf files for download. r2d and r3d are just different versions of same build. nothing much changed except a line in build.prop

How to update Xperia Z without letting PC Companion using Internet

My internet is now my phone's hotspot, I depend on it to surf the net. Now that I've downloaded a new software update, I forgot that the PC Companion still requires internet to continue installing the update. Because the needs to shut down during the update progress, I won't have internet access. Thus, updating my Xperia Z is not possible. Is it possible to make PC Companion not use internet while updating my device?

[Q] Could not download System Update

I have a Z3 compact on UK three network and the system update notification has come through telling me that it is available for download. But when I try and download it just hangs for a second or two and then says "could not download". Doesn't give a reason why the download won't even start. I have no access to a pc so can't update via that method, it's OTA or nothing for me at the moment.
Been so excited waiting for the update and now it's saying it's available it's driving me mad that I can't get it!
Any ideas anyone?
I have a feeling it's an issue with Sony's servers, tried updating via the PC Companion and that's complaning it has no network connection.

Same here on 3 (UK). You can update it fine using Sony PC Companion, or the manual way with XperiFirm/FlashTool
Update is now installing for me.

Me too! Was driving me mad hitting refresh and now it's eventually managed to download
I'm having the same problem. Did you guys get it work via the phone software or pc companion?
Edit. Rebooted my phone, went to the update centre and it is now downloading.
