So I'm still stuck with the 1.257 firmware version, and pc companion and update service will tell me that my phone has the latest firmware version, I read that if I rooted my phone OTA updates would not be recognized but I'm still not sure about that and yes I know that I can update via flashtool but I feel more secure with pc companion, so is there a way to make an OTA update? Or is it because of my carrier?

if you just root the phone, OTA will detect your device and its firmware. All OTA's were on my rooted phone and worked perfectly (thanks to rootkeeper). I don't know if you carrier blocked the OTA. I think you should check their website or helpdesk. Or you can wait for the 4.3 this or next month

I own a C6903 in USA.. the firmware version is 14.3.A.0.757 Customized UK
I am constantly and annoyingly receiving OTA update notification about the 14.4.A.0.108 update, but it cannot update because of 'could not verify' error. It also cannot update through the PC companion software, it says 'the phone/tablet contains modified software that cannot be updated'
Any idea on the cause of this error? Can anyone suggest a suitable firmware that can receive OTA update?
You have a rooted device or modified in some other way.
It's good that Sony prevented Ota updates for such devices as back in the days it caused a hard brick.
If you want to update then you can do this in a few ways :
Put your phone into flash mode and update via pc companion (your phone will be 100% wiped including internal storage)
Download an FTF from xda and flash it via flash tool (all will be wiped)
Get yourself a recovery from @[NUT] download a custom rom with the firmware of your choice and flash it. There are some that will not wipe your phone and you'll keep root that way.
Good luck
thanks a lot for clear and concise direction... got to update using the flashtool... everything good so far...
I'm using an AT&T Note 3 for T-Mobile. I believe when 4.4 first came out I did not want to update so I froze the AT&T Software Update, however I now want to update OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.4. How do I re-enable the software update OTA? I tried doing a factory reset thinking it would recover it however it didn't. Whenever I go to Settings>General>About Device and tap Software Update nothing happens. I also tried using Samsung Kies 3 to update however it says I'm not the latest firmware, 4.3. Which I believe is not???
Any help is appreciated to update from 4.3 to latest android.
Thank you!
Found the answer to my question.

Updating is easy and if Sony PC Companion is malfunctioning, you could use Flashtool ( get it here )
After that you can download the latest firmware ( ftf format ) here
There are some guides on how to flash the latest firmware, and don't worry flashing won't void your warranty or root your device.
This is the best and the most informative click me
Good luck
Hi
If I do that, will ota updates work in future?
Don't have time to fiddle around too much now and again every time there's an update,
Any ideas how to get it to pick up the ota update, which I'm sure has already been released for its region?
There's a thread around here with a tool to download the official full firmware files per region and flash them to your phone.
As long as you use a region that's compatible (with radios and all) the effect should be a perfectly fresh installed stock phone that will pick up OTA's just like any other official firmware.
sony flashtool or something? I can't remember.

Pls help with some advise asap which will work
