Ive tried the CE version and it was buggy, the Vodafone UK version works better but has vodafone specific apps and such so wondering if anyone has the generic UK or if its been released EE version?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum wasn't sure if it should be posted here or in questions.

Hi there I have an ee branded sp and im still waiting for a generic or ee update myself. I tried the Vodafone firmware and didnt like the bloatware. The ce one was better but I didnt like the customisation. I did find ce to be buggy but found that repair through pcc actually optimised all the apps which flasing didnt and it was butter smooth. Didnt like having a Russian play now app or no nfc icon or having 4g reffered to as lte so reverted back to stock ee. If ur not Bothered about these little niggles reflash ce and repair from pcc. Im hoping we get a generic or ee Rom soon
Does the PCC repair redownload the whole ROM again or just fix things with what you have?
Also out of interest where did you get the stock EE 4.1.2? I cant see a link for it and would probably rather revert back.
I've got a generic UK 4.1.2 ftf, I got it from the links inside Xperia update checker. If you download and setup the update checker then click check firmwares when you are on the Xsp C5303, there are links to a few ftf's and one is UK .254 firmware.
I also find the European version to be very slow and sluggish, I'll have to try your idea of using the repair function in pc companion.
I'm still confused how Vodafone got 266 rolled out before the generic version. I hope they are still rolling out more versions, a clean uk 266 would be nice!

I beleive it redownloads the latest Rom for that region (.266 for central europe, the same one If already installed) but this time u get all the apps optimizing at first startup, which didnt happen when flashing the Rom from flashtools from which made it buttersmooth. I dont have a link for the .254 ee Rom I have one for .211 ee rom an older one but that can be upgraded to. 254 ee if u connect it to pcc. And I suggest always updating through pcc whenever possible as I find it gives the best imstall I feel. Il post up the link to the ee .211 Rom in a few mins once I find it again.

Hi. Could u possibly upload the generic UK Rom you have? I have not been able to download ir from anywhere as the file seems to have been removed from any links I find. Il be forever at your service
Yeah I'll sort out uploading them/finding the links, I'm at work at the moment, should be home in about 2 hours, hold on brothers!

Sony did not update the Xperia V in Taiwan to the original 9.1.A.0.490 Jelly Bean firmware. Instead, the update went straight over to the new 9.1.A.0.492 firmware, which I have made into an FTF in the link below. Firmware includes some regional apps, all of which can be uninstalled.
EDIT: It is pretty obvious that the .492 firmware is not a large update in any sense, and could very well be a regional push-out update with minor bug fixes. On personal experience, I have not had any SOD issues (though I haven't had that on the old ICS firmwares either), but the weather widget still causes menu stutters and the Walkman app still has glitches in playback when switching tracks (long pauses).

Xperia V 9.1.A.0.492 GENERIC Taiwan

I just hope that the bugs in .490 is being fixed with this new update.

for me this fw still have SoD. I go back to telenor FW, cause it's no SoD
I do not know if this happened to you guys, but I can't connect to my telco's data network using this ROM.
I'll be playing around with another kernel with this ROM and see how it'll turn out to be...
Edit> I just realised I need to manually set my telco's APN for this. Now it appears to be fine for now.

no connection with ADB - according to flashtool, when I plug the phone in it says that ADB is off. If I don't have Sony PC companion open, the phone doesn't get recognized at all.

how's this new Firmware?
the .490 firmware have this Walkman bug that annoyed me a lot.. did the .492 had it fixed?
No bug is still here
All bugs still there, radio seems worse (new baseband in .492), at least in Europe...

Tried all, there is nothing special with .492 for Xperia V, except for some regional stuff/bloat of former Formosa Island.
Hey I'm currently using RomAur 6.2 (ish) and I wanted to upgrade to 7.3 but I see I now have to go through the whole process of installing the latest stock FTF first. I'm finding it almost impossible however to find a 10.3.A.0.423 FTF for the UK region, I'm on t-mobile in the UK, would somebody be able to give me a link or would I be ok using a different region?
Suggest you use Generic NL. All good and the lightest (bloatwise) of the lot so far.
UK generic are still on 434. Just use one of the many generic 423 FTFs in the general section.
I'm personally using the generic ES (Spanish) rom.

I flashed my Xperia ZR from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 (C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
But now the phone itself nor the pc companion software is not offering me an update to 4.2.2 firmware.
When I first got the phone then pc companion automatically offered an update to 4.2.2 but not anymore.
Is there an easy fix to get the OTA update working? thanks!
First of all, why did you flash from 4.2.2 back to 4.1.2??
Well... following the same thread in your link, you can manually flash it back to 4.2.2 when your OTA is not working.

i wanted to root 4.1.2 and then get it updated to 4.2.2 while keeping the root.
anyway i already have manually flashed to 4.2.2 but still waiting for a possible solution.
and i really would like to know the reason why C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf did not offer me any updates.
You can follow the instruction in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392865
No promises though!
Hi,
I have a ZR with the unmodified stock 4.1.2 firmware. PC companion still hasn't offered the 4.2.2 update for me. The customization region of my phone is generic Hong-Kong. Has anybody with the Hong-kong region got the update yet?

I had the Hong Kong version until a day ago I didn't receive the new update and couldn't be bothered waiting so was forced to try out flash tool and flash the Nordic version of 4.2.2
Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app
is it true that the pc companion never actually checks the actual firmware version of your phone but instead relies on the data stored in a server, which keeps record of your phones mac address and the latest upgrade done to that phone with that specific mac address?
since my first upgrade was from 4.1.X to 4.2.2 through pc companion then the server stored information stating that my phone with MAC address xyzc has been upgraded to 4.2.2 and wont offer any more upgrades unless something newer than 4.2.2 is released. even if i downgraded back to 4.1.2- according to the server's records my phone "was flasehd" and still "must be" using version 4.2.2.
atleast that is what i read somewhere

Try PC companion. As of yesterday I have tested the 4.1 versions of HK, RUSSIA, GLOBAL firmware to see which ones will receive 4.2 update. Only RUSSIA firmware updated to 4.2 via PC Companion.

Can you please let me know how to find out what firmware my phone has? I think mine was imported from Hong Kong but I'm not sure. I didn't even know there was a global version. There was a post somewhere with some service menu commands to list firmware but that was just a string of numbers, I could not tell that it was global or Nordic or hong Kong... Thanks!

Hi
I was hoping someone could help. This is driving me absolutely crazy.
I am currently running Cyanogenmod so Sony Mobile Update Server and Sony Mobile Companion completely refuse to play ball what so ever. They do not even attempt to connect out to their servers.
I really want one of the following FTF files:
Code:
O2 Pay monthly UK 1270-4993 10.3.1.A.0.244 R9B 10.3.A.0.423 R8B
United Kingdom Vodafone UK 1270-9110 10.3.1.A.0.244 R7B 10.3.A.0.423 R7B
This is just so I can update the baseband and NFC firmware
Tried googling for 2 hours and found nothing except German and Dutch FTFs.
Any help would be really appreciated....
Thanks
Just use any of the generic unbranded 244 FTF files posted in this section. All of the firmware versions have the same system files, baseband etc. no matter which region they are from.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
If no one has a link to either of these I will flash my phone to stock, re-load bootloader and then run the upgrade, capture the FTF, re-unlock bootloader and then apply FTF then latest Cyanogenmod...
I will also post my FTF in General section.
But if someone has already done this it would save me a very late night

Mainly just different bundled apps, I believe. All of the core system components, the kernel, baseband etc are the same for all releases of 244.

Im confused. we use pcc for updating, file managing, for backup, etc. my phone bought from Kuwait that was stock middle east version rom installed. a month ago while I was using a ram cleaner app my phone is hanged badly that was not recoverable. then I flashed a ftf file of 4.3 .266(dont know which country version). but after that my phone is laggy. now I want to move back original middle east version. thats why i want to download and manually flash middle east version of .201. I think its not possible by pcc, is it?
Possible. But your software customisation no. should be one of ME version in your phone (build.prop). But since you've flashed another ftf, it might have changed. So, you have to change to your original cust. no. in build prop ([highlight]need root for that[/highlight]) and then connect with PCC. It will download your original FW. Obviously you have forgotten that number.. so, have to find it out using your SI (sales item) no. [remove back cover and see/ or on the box]. Then go to following appropriate link for your phone model and do a "find in page" with your SI no. You may get several entries. In that you can find your orig. cust. no.
