its a minor update and you won't loose anything. Also, it tells you all the details whether it will wipe your data or not before you start installing the update through Pc Companion.
Thank you

Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?
Thanks for your help

Will give the pc companion a try later.

Sorry, I'm new to all this android flashing since this is my first Android device (came from ios)
If I download a 434 FTF and flash it, will I lose all my apps and app data?
And can I flash in recovery, or can FTF files only be flashed using flashtool?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.
Awesome! Thanks for the swift replies guys. Will give it another try on updating later :thumbup:

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

Changes the pre-installed apps package, takes like 10 minutes to do it, so it's worth it. If you have root then don't update, up to you, you can always re-root through the guides on here.

In the process of updating this via pc companion but it's been stuck on number 3 (updating) for about 5mins now with the download bar nowhere to have even started, is that normal?
EDIT: all good now sorry! Took a while for it to appear halfway on the download bar now, phew.. Took about 10 mins for it to show!
It's completely normal, it tends to take a while, leave it running and it should be fine!

I'm on 10.3.1.A.0.244 and got a firmware update msg from PC Companion. Wasn't that the latest one?
I'm updating right now, what could it be??? It said I won't loose my peronal data, so I guess it's a small one.
PS: My Xperia Z is C6602 HSPA
I'll keep you posted, PC Companion is downloading the update right now ...
[EDIT}
Update complete. While booting it said "Android is updating..."
Same Version 10.3.1.A.0.244 - What the heck???

Usually what happens is, you probably deleted some of the apps that came pre-installed but are not necessary components. When you run an update check, they will notice that some of those pre-installed apps are missing, and will prompt you to do an update. Post-update, you'll find some of those apps installed on your system again. The update you saw was probably anywhere between 5mb - 80mb.
Minor update. It happened in the past .

customization update if you've noticed it's only update the customization number and most probably fixed the bugs
I had something similar on an o2 branded handset recently, was to add in the 4G toggle since the UK networks have started using 4G now.
yeah, me too :good:
was this thread really necessary?
I also had this om the same ver as you lol, I ignored it

I am glad the poster started this thread as I also had an update soon after flashing generic firmware over the O2 branded one that came with my phone, and wondered how come.
On the info offered in this thread I went ahead and installed it.
I can confirm this update added the 4g option in mobile networks.
Indeed a minor update in which data and root remain intact (no need to back-up/re-root ).
I have xperia Z, i get new update 10.3.1.A.2.67 , download, accept instalation, but phone only restart and show mesage software not instaled, you try later
I try with Update service, but message is something like "you have modified software"

Hey there, u have removed some google apps or something like that. Your only option is to install from desktop program.
If you have unlocked bootloader or rooted phone with some system modification, you cannot update with sony's update software.
Use flashtool to update or emma.

Are you on a stock ROM? If yes, try again. Your firmware download may have not completed successfully.
