Hi folks,
Quick couple of questions regarding updating my Xperia V. I've never used PC Companion before (used FlashTool and OTA updates on my Arc), so I'm not entirely sure of the process with updating my device through the PC Companion software. Will I need to backup my data before the update (will it wipe my contacts, SMS, etc.)? Also, my device was purchased in Taiwan and I never received the original Jelly Bean update for the V (9.1.A.0.490), and today I got the notification for an upgrade to 9.1.A.0.492. What is the difference between the two firmware updates?
Thanks.

Don't update your Mobile through pc companion if u have an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise it is a very easy process to update a device with pc companion.
& u should backup your data. Sometimes it wipes the user data sometimes it doesn't.
& these updates mainly features stability & some other updates.
Press thanks if I helped.

What i said still stands. All ftfs are in that thread. If it is not in that thread then it is not available as no one has posted it on XDA.
You will have to request someone with that firmware to make the ftf and upload it. I will then link it to the all in one thread.

OK, My mistake, however, it sounds like he has not upgraded yet. He was enquiring about the difference before he upgraded.
I dont think anyone has shared that ftf yet...it would be great if they did....

I have upgraded to 9.1.A.0.492 (Xperia V), and overall everything has been smooth. I'll create an .FTF file later today.
EDIT: Here's the thread for 9.1.A.0.492.
There we go.
Let's see what the developers can do with it. ^_^

十分感谢哦！ 但是你有发现492固件有什么新功能吗？
老实说 490 不是特别平滑，虽然反应速度还算流畅的

Try the above mentioned feedback aswell, that could be the issue.
I had this problem a year or two ago with this exact phone, turned out to be the cable. Perhaps try a different cable, one that isn't half torn to shreds helps.
