Hi Guys,
For some reason I cannot upgrade to Kit Kat...
When I plug my phone into PC Companion it says that I already have the latest version.
My problem started with the previous upgrade. All seemed well during the upgrade process but when I looked I had none of the new features and my build number still showed. 290
I tried to run it again but it said that I already has the latest firmware. Now it's refusing to recognise any new firmware telling me that I am updated when I'm not
Any advice anybody?

It might be that your carrier hasn't released the update yet.

Hey no my phone is unlocked and simfree. It's just not recognising the firmware on my phone. I have not even been able to update to 136 as my firmware is on 290 still and it's telling me that I have the latest firmware... Which I obviously don't.

Happened to me too. Here's what I did. I flashed this ftf. You can flash any other KitKat ftf that you prefer in the general section. Just make sure that it has this firmware (14.3.A.0.681) and uses the same model number (C6903).

Does anyone know when/if there will be an OTA update for the new 4.2.2 firmware? I have flashed a generic NL .253 .ftf and I also never received
the other updates OTA. I do want to update, but I want to keep root access. I know I can flash a new generic ftf and gain root access with the perf_event exploit, but just updating OTA is easier I guess. Thanks in advance!

Depends what you mean with easier.
If you're willing to wait another month (just an example) for the OTA then yes it would be easy.
You can flash the T-Mobile NL FTF, gain root, remove root within an hour. I'm quite sure that you will have to wait a lot longer then an hour for OTA to even come out.
A month does seem like an awful long time..

I just did the original Japanese xperia z 4.2.2 update and it is fine it didn't change the language or anything I just flashed it over the old one done. Is even rooted. And It has no issues. So there is already ways on getting the official 4.2.2 update.

Just download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339421
Open flashtool
At wipe untick data and cache leave appslog ticked
This way you keep your root and your Phone will have in 5 minutes the latest version!
Done this yesterday myself
I just bought my wife the XZ and I see many people have problems with the 4.2.2 update and their battery. I also see mixed comments on it being fixed in this update and not on that one.
So my question is: would it be better to leave her phone on 4.1.2 at the moment or are all the bugs worked out? Were on TMOUS, the phone says there is no update but I saw u can update from the computer correct?
Thanks

with flashtools you can upgrade it to 4.2.2 with a FTF file if you would like. I have seen/read on version .244 (4.2.2) the battery bug should of gone
Is it better to upgrade the ROM software via PCC or OTA is as good ?

Anyway, one of the two .. Decide for yourself! And the next time, please not open a new thread for this question

I would flash an ftf from the forums or make your own, as the bootloader gets updated. A failure during the OTA or PC companion flash at the moment bootloader is being updated could result in a hardbrick

Or so :good:
I could be wrong but it has mentioned that Flashtool uses the same protocols as PCC and flash tool is a way for those with unlocked bootloaders and modified system to flash stock roms where trying to use PCC would result in failure. The same issues can be experience by both methods and corrected by both (reflash in Flashtool and a replair in PCC). So as far as my understanding goes this statement seems misleading and fear inducing.
Yes, I see your point. And the risk is negligible. I just am not comfortable with bootloader being updated. "OTA".
That's just me though

I was using OTA via home wifi. If you have a stable internet, OTA is more easier.

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.
ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.
Hi
I look after the company mobiles and we have around 30 Sony Xperia SP C5303 Mobiles
They are all on EE 4G in the UK
They run 4.1.2 (12.0.A.2.254)
Recently a few users have updated to 4.3 and now emails no longer work and the phones have become sluggish
So id like to revert back to 4.1.2
I want to keep warranty so i would like to restore from a stock rom
Id like to backup the rom from one of the 4.1.2 phones
I have read to use SUS but when i try the repair/reflash same version as suggested its not an option
The only option is to upgrade the firmware which is not what i want
Please how do i backup the firmware of our 4.1.2 phones so i can flash the ones that upgraded to 4.3?
Many thanks
The best option if you don't want to root every phone and install cwm is to use PCC to get the files if you plug one of the 4.1.2 phones into PCC and "repair" it is that an option or will it only allow an upgrade? I can do it for you I'm on EE 4.1.2 and the upgrade is not available for me yet so I can still download the 4.1.2fw if all your phones are due for an upgrade you then flash the file from PCC (there are tutorials on getting the files) with androxide and bin4rys flashtool.

Also to get the 4.1.2.ftf you don't let the repair process complete you interrupt it and pull the files out of PCC

My phone is now due an update so I can't get the 4.1.2 fw if you look for generic global 12.0.A.2.254 firmware then that will work.

I'm not sure: with the latest firmware being available, wouldn't PCC or SUS repair to 201 or 266?
When I recently flashed a 257 source from this forum, the phone notified me that there is an update to 254 (even though 266 was available then)
Maybe you can test one of the phones: flash a FULL 257 firmware (without wiping data) to see if it updates to 254.
Once it is done updating, the 254 firmware should be residing in one of your computer folders.
