No you don't...
I just flashed KK directly from 534 without any problems...
But use recovery 94 - I had problems with latest 96...

I am running .290 atm and when I plug into PCC, says my newest firmware to update is.136. I want to skip. 136 because of all the bugs. Does this mean KK is not available for me yet?

Download FTF's from Development and use FlashTool to flash them, follow a tutorial if you want to preserve root

That is what PCC is telling you. I had 290 and PCC installed 681.

Hello all,
I am currently on .434 NL version but I want to flash .350 Indian version and check if I can get the updates via Sony Update Service because via OTA, it didnt work. Now when I try to flash .350 indian version, flashing gets aborted.. I am not able to understand the problem... :crying:
Give us more info: which error, which Flashtool version, etc.
If you have unlocked bootloader you will not be able to update via ota.i tried many time and many way but i couldn't.

Bro, my BL is locked only..
What I found is, when I was on .434 NL version, I couldnt flash back to .350 Indian version but I didnt get any error when I reflash .434 NL version...
Maybe the ftf is corrupted?

I dont thik so because previously I had used it very well... Let me tell u what I did with my phone till now..
Got new phone with .350 FW, got notification for OTA updates of .434 FW, got updated.
Rooted n installed CWM,flashed RomAur rom. I wanted to come back to stock so I flashed .350 FW (worked well at that time) and searched for updates, got notifications.. Tried updating OTA, the updates were downloaded but while installing it got failed. So I flashed .434 NL FW and now I am not able to flash .350 FW to check if I can still get the OTA...
Maybe delete and install flashtool again.
If you have pcc on,close it.

Can not be rooted by any tool we know of.
You have to downgrade your firmware, root it, then upgrade to a "pre-rooted" firmware. You can find all the info you need in pre-rooted firmware thread and dualrecovery thread amongst a few others. I did it myself yesterday. Piece of cake.

Flash 534, root, install CWM or TWRP, then flash pre-rooted stock 257 firmware.

It's out there somewhere, but I don't remember where and I don't have time to find it. Use the search feature and do some reading and I'm sure you'll find it. Especially check the thread dedicated to 257 firmware

Flash "C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Generic DK 1276-1249_R5A" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
then root with kingo , then make supersu update & system app (2 restarts required)
then go to Sony update and update OTA.
You will have latest version 14.1.G.2.257 ( it is stock Euro - no bloat) with root.

use this method.
I have a question too. I have a C6902, can I flash C6903 into my device?

No, it might brick your phone.
My device is C6902, and now I'm using .257 firmware. If I using flashtool to flash .534 but not wipe data, does it cause brick my phone?

No, it will not brick your phone if you choose not to wipe data. But make sure you're flashing a C6902 534 firmware.

Hi my xperia Z1 has still not updated or given me any notifications. I connected it to PC and checked with sony PC Companion but it is still saying that my phone is updated with the latest version. What should I do?
Thank you
Matt
Which country do you live? And which provider are you on? Do you have a branded or unbranded device? Which model of Z1 do you have( for example: mine is c6903)? Is PC Companion updated to the latest version? As you can read there are many possible factors why your device hasn't got the update yet! Updates are rolled out in phases! You can decide to wait or you can update via flashtool( flash a ftf, no root needed)

Hi there and thanks for reply. To answer your questions, I happen to live in Malta in Europe, and my provider is Vodafone. The sony z1 is an original buy and branded. My model is also C6903. I will check if I happen to have the latest update of PC Companion. I actually prefer to wait some more rather than update manually. What do you recommend?

I would suggest you manual flashing, my girlfriends Z1 was same branded as mine (Polish orange), I was sick of waiting for update and flashed the global version on my own, she still didn't recieve 4.4.2 update.
I was also scared before flashing firmware, but now am cool n happy with kitkat, imma give you link to my thread about flashing it(am also total noob when comes about phones), its easy-peasy.

Is not Custom that one, is Global Stock.
Sorry I meant to say, why not just flash a custom ftf, or a stock 4.4.2, bypass the official way of updating

What PCC says when you plug your phone to you computer? does it say "up to date"?
At least you can flash a full 757fw ftf file with flashtool

I do not mean the firmware but the update applications like Walkman, movie, album no notification in firmware 757
I haven't received any of the new app updates either, im also on 757, i thought the rolluots of these apps were phased but it could be a bug
