hello guys im new here and feel stupid to ask this, im not too good with computers and stuff and i really dont know how to start an update my xperia Z to 4.4 kitkat manually, i searched for it but no help because there are many things and versions etc so it got complicated for me, can someone help me? all i know that i got 4.3 update on my xperia Z that is 6603 model
Just Install Sony PC Companion (Download from Sony). Put USB Cable between your Xperia Z and PC and then start PC Companion Program. The Program search automatically for newest Firmware for your phone and then just Update. that's all.

you might wait for official update in your region
or
flash an ftf
For Germany still Android 4.3 or Version 10.4.1.B.0.101. My Xperia also from Germany.
So it means that the only way you can update to kitkat is by flashing a ftf using a flashtool or you still need to wait till your region release an update.

Hello,
I recently bought a -used- Xperia Z.
The Xperia Z was in a new condition and ofcourse with a clean factory reset and empty internal storage.
But however i cannot seem to finish updating my Xperia Z.
I tried updating it to the newest software trough the phone, trough PC Companion and Sony Update Service... however no luck so far.
I keep getting the following erorr: ''the phone contains modified software that can not be updated'''
Please, does anyone know what's going on here?
Thanks for any help

not update,click repair.
In your dial pad type *#*#service#*#*
Go to service info and then to configuration.
If it says bootloader unlocked you cannot update using pcc.
Read around a little and learn how to use flashtool in that case. (either way I would recommend you learn how to use flashtool anyway. It's the best software for Xperia phones around)
Good luck!

Hi everyone !
I've some problems on my Xperia SP. I bought this phone 1 month ago, it's unrooted, the build number is 12.0.A.1.257. So:
1. The homescreen restarts frequently and randomly, the Viber, and most of my apps too. I've got about 300-350MB of free RAM every time I check it.
2. If I'm listening music via Walkman app, it stops randomly, and if I restart the app, it starts from where I started before. I think it's similar to the first one, and the RAM management causes this issue too.
3. WiFi problems ...
Please help me, if you have any idea ! I'd like to fix these issues, because it was a quite expensive phone for me ... Thank you !
Well, the latest FIRMWARE is the 12.0.A.2.245... I recommend ya connect ur phone to PC Companion to install the update or maybe flash it with Flashtool :highfive:
EDIT: 1. I dont have HomeScreen Restarts
2. Walkman go perfect here
3. Wifi is stable too

Flash the newest firmware (245) via Flashtool. Its very easy to use and u don`t need to unlock ur bootloader or something else.
Btw. I did to, cause the update to 245 fw wasnt available and I didnt want to wait.
Hello Folks,
Just want to know if there is any official update to 4.3 available in india because i cant see any updates yet.please somebody confirm if there is an update or not if yes please tell me the procedure
Im not sure if OTA is available yet.
Connect your mobile to your computer and check for update in Sony PC Companion ...then you will find it

So, OTA is not out yet.
Check for the update in Sony PC companion.
Make sure you are using official Sony firmware and you will lose root(if rooted) upon update through Sony PCC.
The application will download about 850MB from the internet.

Try using flashtool to flash a FTF. The kernel will be reinstalled and this is very likely to fix your phone.
And where can i find my original kernel for 4.4.2 kitkat for xperia zr?Thank you.

Nope, that means u cant unlock bootloader.. If u want to repair ur phone then use Sony Update Service instead of PC Companion.. Or search & download 4.4.2 firmware ftf file & flash it using flashtool...

I search at internet and i find that 4.4.2 for c5503 was only released at nordic countris hong kong and taiwan.So i find the nordic version i install it with flashtool and then i tried again to repair my phone via pc companion,before his in the installation of pc companion i select as country region Sweden which is one of the nordic countries,but still i get the same message fro pc companion and i cant repair my phone with the original way.Maybe sony doesnt released yet 4.4.2 kitkat for Greece,because i think that however which sony gives you the right in the installation of pc companion to choose the country region automatiically spots you and select the rights that you have over your device.If im wrong at my thoughts let me know.Thank you,im waiting for your answers.

may b u r right. Sony would have not released software for your region yet.
I searched in Xperia firmware checker tool by IaguCool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142)
I select Xperia ZR 5503 in left side panel, then i see list of available versions. In that I saw 1274-1395 Nordic combined 10.5.A.0.230/R2D. On extreme right side u have download links.

The tool is an exe file which checks the firmwares for most Xperia phones and gives latest ftf files for download. r2d and r3d are just different versions of same build. nothing much changed except a line in build.prop
Good day guys. Just wanted to know haw to hard reset the xperia v. I have aproblem with my xperia v when i updated the firmware from 4.1.2 to 4.3(Hong Kong because there is no Philippines update for 4.3). It bites to much battery and i don't like it. The reason also why i updated it, its because my phone has no signal, I've read from other blogs that the signal problem might be solve if i will try to update to 4.3. But still it didn't work,still no signal. I'm thinking of hard resetting my phone so that it will go back to the older version witch is 4.1.2, and the firmware is 9.1.A.1.140 because it saves more battery. My phone is not rooted ever. When i updated it to 4.3 i used the flashtool.. So please, if there is anyone here who knows how to hard reset please teach me how. I'm from the Philippines and if there's another way of downgrading to 4.1.2 version, please teach me how to do it.
