So by your words, everyone in europe have German firmware? Lol
you will have to check it by opening *#*#7378432#*#* > service info > software info > 1269-5309_10.1.A.1.434
Then the ( 1269-5309 ) this will be different. But most of the users in the world have the german Xperia z or they flashed it to the german ftf
LTE GLOBAL 1270-4986_R7A
How did you figured that is German firmware? If this is true, in Slovenia we all have German firmware then, but no update to 434. Also we don't have any network or simlock phones here.

When will the 4.2.2 update be released in the UK? Seems like it's been out for a while, yet my phone still hasn't found the update using either OTA or with PC Companion on my laptop.
We don't have the insight to say. Nobody has. And no crystal balls.
4.2.2 has been out for a few days only and is clearly rolling out across the piste.
Just wait patiently or use one of the other Generic ones if you're really that desperate. They're all basically the same apart from minor app differences.
I think Vodafone has released it someone on another forum updated his to 422 via Sony bridge on a Mac.
Never.... (joking)
Considering we were left out of the last few updates wouldn't surprise me if we are the last to get this one.
So I would guess a month

You have a UK unbranded device? Customisation number 1270-7689? Or some other UK device?
Not booting up my PC to find out if this is true or not, as other methods of checking are still showing 434 as the latest available for UK unbranded.
Edit: I see you edited your post. Yes, most are aware that Vodafone have updated

Mines was a VF UK handset upgrade - so branded to them. The phone itself didn't report any system/software upgrades, but as soon as I ran up PCC and plugged it in, PCC kicked off the upgrade.
Just use the Sony original Japanese update it doesn't change the language or anything and everything works out is the official Sony update and u just flash it with a flash tool no wipe of data or anything and u can easily root it with doomlords rooting method. It's a one click root.

Just change to a different generic customization. Some people seem to think that there is something special about UK firmware, but that isn't true at all (except that it seems to get updated last). All customizations contain the same baseband, kernel and core. The only difference is the bundled apps, build.prop and some overlays. I think 'Generic ES' is the best customization to change to. It contains all Sony apps (so you won't lose Video Unlimited or anything), of course it also contains all languages and it seems to get updates first.
Also, please stop asking when an update for a certain customization will be released. Nobody will be able to tell you, so it's completely useless to ask. There are ways enough to check the latest version for your customization. I have a list that I update daily or even multiple times a day, you can also create a browser bookmark to Sony's Firmware Update Server (see same thread) or you can use this web check: http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/.
Don't worry, it should come sometime this decade...we might even get the firmware update that everyone else has had for 2 months before 2017...wouldn't that be great?

Instead of waiting weeks/months/ages and complaining, just change to a different firmware customization like everyone else did. What are you scared of? There's always the possibility of changing back to 'Generic UK'.

That doesn't exist. In Japan, the Xperia Z was only available through the carrier NTT DoCoMo, which had a slightly different version with a different model number (SO-02E).
Check this list for the available customizations: [INFO] Latest firmware version per customization (region/branding). For the UK, I would recommend 'Generic ES'.

I have xperia z hspa , and I don't want to change the customization , can I flash the TW one ?? or is there any other options for the c6602 ?

Downloading the 'Generic TW' FTF and flashing it with Flashtool, or changing your customization number in build.prop and updating with Sony PC Companion will give exactly the same result. 'Generic TW' is the only customization that has been updated for C6602. It also seems to get updates first each time. So I recommend to use that firmware.
I will sell my XZ and buy Galaxy S4 i think, its not about changing customization etc it shows how Sony treat UK customers...

Good luck with your (plastic) Galaxy S4 (with ugly *** TouchWiz) then. Hopefully Samsung will release updates faster to the UK
Do you really care so much about the 'Generic UK' customization? It's not like it contains any special features that can't be found in other customizations.

Anyone install the firmware?
Hi all,
I've bought a Sony Xperia SP M35h in China and everything works fine but I cannot install Google Play or other Google Apps (Gmail, Maps, Drive, etc). From what I've read I should root my phone, but I have not find any suitable version for my phone.
I have been trying to solve this issue for months now..Any idea?
Many many thanks,:good::good:
Martim
thats highly unusual since google play comes installed on the phone, are you sure its a legit model ?
Google: Googleplay apk and find a suitable link, you should have no trouble installing it to be honest as the phone should come preloaded with Google services, plus when you get on it, it will need a Gmail account which can be made via the Googleplay store
Guys, thanks for the help.
The phone is legit but was bought in China and is from China Unicom. Even if it is unblocked and I can put my sim card, all google services crash whenever I try to open them (I can install but they do not run).
I tried to install different .apk. There was one that I was able to open, but I could never login to the Google Pay store.. at it mentioned connection problems.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Many thanks!
Got some photo's of the device for us? It is weird that the device you have is not working since it is (or seems) a legit device.
try sony pcc to make sure your phone is legit then you can easily update or repair your phone .
It works just fine with Sony Pcc. In fact, I have contacted Sony before.. and what they told me is that operating system for Chinese phones is different and that should be the reason why I cannot use Google services.
Should I need to change operating system? Is it possible?

And what is yours kernel date? Because, mine is also November 19. and I'm on stock 266 ROM without any problems...
Here a legit C5303 build date Nov 19. However that is the date of the kernell build. This doesnt say anything about the real ROM build date.
Hi guys,
I've just tried the Sony Update but problem persists. I believe that it keeps updating the Chinese version of my phone.. M35h which is a different version just built for China (according to guys on Sony).
Is it possible to change operating system?
Many thanks for your help!
Do you live or use it in china? Or somewere else?
No, I live in Chile and I don't thinking about going back to China in a while! thankss

Haha great. Good to know
Did you went to a store or something to ask what kind of Xperia they sell there?
Because you have C5303, C5306 and C5302 < This one has no LTE and the C5306 one is mostly sold in USA..
Edit: If I Google Sony Xperia M35h I get the C5302 on many websites. I will dig a bit futher for you but I recommend you to visit a nearby store to check what version they sell..
---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------
Could you enter in your dialpad on the XSP:
*#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service info and select Model info... What does it say there?
Mine is C5303
ahahaha
Here they sell the Xperia SP (C5302) version. But I guess this one is slightly different from mine, as I was said that M35h was specifically for the Chinese market..

Hi, I have this problem which is, i bought my Sony Xperia Tablet Z from China, and i believe it is locked onto the asian software which is (i think) causing me unable to use Play Store. Is there a way that i can change the software back to the UK or Europe software? It's really annoying that i cannot download apps from the play store.
Somebody out there please help me!
