that might be because of root or bootloader unlocking! did u do any of them?
Just forget about the update if you are already on .290.

I tried to downgrade the Z1 from 4.3 to an older version (537) so that I can root it and then update to 4.3 back. But every time i downgrade, Z1 is unable to detect my sim card. The only way to fix this was to use the software repair option in PC companion and upgrade directly to 4.3. Anyone else faced this issue.?

Yes it has been mentioned, but you cannot get root on 4.3 that way anyway.
Just update back to 4.3 to fix it
If you flash 4.2.* rom, then reflash it, could be fine.
Hi,
I am running stock 14.1.G.2.257 which I got via OTA. Prior to doing the OTA update, I rooted my device, and the root was kept through the OTA.
I want the newest version (14.2.A.0.290), and I know the customization code for my device and have the correct FTF file downloaded to my pc already.
However, I am afraid that if I flash via flashtool I will lose root. That will happen, right? (The FTF I have is completely stock, not rooted)
I tried checking in the updates app, and I don't see an OTA update yet for .290. Should I just wait patiently, or is there a reason the OTA just won't show up for my phone? Anything I can check to determine OTA is still working?
Thanks for your help.
If you flash the ftf via flashtool you will loose root.
You should wait for the OTA update or till they find a way to root it in locked bootloader.
Thank you, that helps. So if I want patiently I should see OTA eventually right?

can anyone downgrade to 534 voda UK, root then upgrade to 290 through OTA to preserve root?
or do you need to have Vodaphone uk xperia z1?
Am on EE UK and still not OTA but would be tempted to do this if it works and then remove the voda bloatware
edit: doesnt matter. seen the answer in another thread

There is a whole section on accessories, please use it

I saw one in Accessories Section. LoL...
I think you can try flashing the Vodafone ftf without wiping data, then update via OTA, but the root is partial.
Correct me if I'm wrong
Hi ya'll
I bought a Xperia Z1 second hand on eBay and found that even though its stock ROM and bootloader is locked - its rooted with some dodgy chinese superuser app. It is running 4.2.2 and keeps saying update available but it keeps failing when I try to install an OTA update that seems to be available.
1. Is it failing cause its rooted?
2. How do I unroot it so I will get the 4.3 OTA?
Thanks in advance.
:good:

Yes you can't update via OTA if it's rooted. grab a ftf in one of the firmware threads on here for the Z1 and do it manually.

Use flashtool to flash a stock rom
Thanks for the quick responses. Do i grab a 4.3 FTF file or 4.2.2? If I grab 4.3 will my bootloader unlock camera fix not get installed? Is that installed via OTA only?

Actually no, OTA still works even on rooted phones. That's how people can have root on 4.3 firmware with locked boot loader - they get the root on 4.2 and then update it via OTA. I did it myself, so I'm sure it works this way.
Seems like OP has different issue.
Still, solution is flashing an ftf, yeah.
OTA definitely works on rooted phones. Try installing SuperSU from the playstore, that will get rid of the chinese spam, then run the update again. if that fails just go for Flashtool. good luck!

Yeah. I ended up flashing 4.2.2 then got the OTA update. Now running CM11. Had a scary moment where I flashed TWRP from a thread here into the boot partition and I got the red blink of death, but must have been the wrong recovery to flash.

it does this because you have altered system file (i.e. root and/or recovery)
Hi,
Try updating from PC Companion software, it won't take much a time if you have a good internet connection. Keep in mind you'll lose root and OTA failed very likely due to a modified system partition (root).
All the best,

Thanks. I have updated with stocked pre rooted firmware. Everything is ok and waiting for upcoming update.
Hi,
Not receiving a Single OTA update of anything (i.e Video app, Whats New app).
Anyone has the same problem?
Is it because of Unlocked Bootloader? I guess I received before If I am not wrong. I know we can't update via OTA, it'll fail to update when bootloader unlocked but I am not receiving any update notification.
I am on lollipop 5.1.1 stock rom.
