Strange! Other people are complaining because they still haven't got the update. My Xperia Z (C6602) got the notification for the latest OTA update for 10.3.1.A.0.244 via the update centre app. I downloaded the update and pressed install, and the phone shut down, and installation started, but then it stopped 1 min after installing, the phone rebooted and I got a notification "could not install". What's happening?
My phone is not rooted. OTA update to 10.1.1.A.1.253 worked previously. Any ways to fix this problem?
The internet connection at my current location is not stable enough to use PC Companion or Sony Update Service. It would also take the whole day to download the whole ftf file. (Max download speed is 40 KB/s! ) Can anyone think of any alternative ways please? Thanks in advance.
P.S., I found a similar tread in Xperia J forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44735001#post44735001), but no solution to the problem.

I believe the OTA update will fail if any of the stock system apps are missing.

None of the system apps are missing as my phone is not rooted. But, my local Sony Service installed a local font without rooting, that's the only change made. (I don't know how they did that, I just saw them running a .bat file from computer. They said this won't void the warranty.)

it's something related to fota kernel(stock recovery),maybe cause i flashed my phone with different firmwares.

I downloaded the firmware file & flashed using Flashtool. It works!!!
I'm on 10.3.1.A.0.244 and got a firmware update msg from PC Companion. Wasn't that the latest one?
I'm updating right now, what could it be??? It said I won't loose my peronal data, so I guess it's a small one.
PS: My Xperia Z is C6602 HSPA
I'll keep you posted, PC Companion is downloading the update right now ...
[EDIT}
Update complete. While booting it said "Android is updating..."
Same Version 10.3.1.A.0.244 - What the heck???

Usually what happens is, you probably deleted some of the apps that came pre-installed but are not necessary components. When you run an update check, they will notice that some of those pre-installed apps are missing, and will prompt you to do an update. Post-update, you'll find some of those apps installed on your system again. The update you saw was probably anywhere between 5mb - 80mb.
Minor update. It happened in the past .

customization update if you've noticed it's only update the customization number and most probably fixed the bugs
I had something similar on an o2 branded handset recently, was to add in the 4G toggle since the UK networks have started using 4G now.
yeah, me too :good:
was this thread really necessary?
I also had this om the same ver as you lol, I ignored it

I am glad the poster started this thread as I also had an update soon after flashing generic firmware over the O2 branded one that came with my phone, and wondered how come.
On the info offered in this thread I went ahead and installed it.
I can confirm this update added the 4g option in mobile networks.
Indeed a minor update in which data and root remain intact (no need to back-up/re-root ).
Here u go folks the 4.3 FTF for GB 32GB model unbranded(SGP312)

But I believe its Up volume not down volume,
You could also use flashtool to reflash an older android version for your model/region that can be rooted then OTA to more recent version to try and retain root

Xperia Tablet Z POLISH version
Does this version will work for Polish user?
Well guys,
I spotted a new problem, confirmed yesterday night (I wasn't sure, since I updated my new Z1 even before starting to use it). My old Z1 was running 4.2.2, though it had black screen wild restart issue from the opening (I was unlucky!), the equalizer were working without problem. I also use two amps that are able to boost the bass and enhance vocals by themselves so I was blinded.
Since I updated to 4.3 build .136, I don't have any equalizer working anymore. Nor the Walkmann one, nor Noozxoide, Noor Bass Booster. Nothing seems to work. Just a moment ago I had an update for Walkmann which was useless, the problem remains.
Is there a way to fix this? I'm not rooted. I will go the root way if I can sort this out. My only worry about root is the bootloader thing, a member already answered me about this but I had not the chance to check my version nor how to keep it unlocked if already unlocked.

Well actually you should install recovery and install the zip with the sound effects fix from the Android development forum
Or else wait... Kitkat will arrive at this moment

Xperia Z1s got an OTA update yesterday...And I was wondering if I could update and still re-root..Or if I'd keep the root.. I've done this on other phones before But the Z1s I'm not so sure about..
From another thread [quote name="ptoner" post=54472834]Just got notification on O2 (UK) that 4.4.4 update is available OTA.<br />
<br />
Before I install, can anyone confirm if this OTA update will preserve my towelroot root?[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Don't worry about it, the new 4.4.4 FW is easily rooted using newroot from munjeni. Look in the development section, its a 1 click solution and will install recovery as well.<br/>
So this will work with the Z1s?
Not talking about the Z1

I used to run the Tmobile support forums a few years ago. We used to get the same builds from most of the Canadian Operators would get but with different build numbers and they would work (at least for samsung and htc devices). There were some minor differences such as wifi calling but for the most part the devices share the same hardware and software tweeks for US based GSM operators and Canadian ones. I dont have much experience on sony devices though.
The update is 14.4.B.0.37
I haven't installed it yet because Rooting the Z1s was tricky to begin with And I don't wanna do something I'll regret

Create a FTF for the old version, then when you upgrade if there is a problem with root you can flash the FTF and re root on the FW you are on now

I don't think this is real. Someone else would have gotten it over the span of two days since this thread was started. Xperiablog never even reported on it. And he is ignoring everyone's request to at least post a screenshot. I hope in wrong, but this seems a bit improbable.

You have to excuse our skepticism... it's just that we've been waiting for KitKat for over half a year, with no sign of it whatsoever, and then you tell us that your phone is being sent the update. I really do want to believe you, more than anything else. Is there any way for you to upload that screenshot?
Ive been waiting too And I feel like it was a glitch I remember the update being around 356mbs I was debating updating because I couldn't make calls.. Came here learned about getting an ftf file if any thing went wrong so i just went ahead and and installed the update but it didn't work so now I dont even know anymore..But i am looking for thr screenshot I took of it

You have to be 100 percent stock for ota to install.
Upload ota to a file provider.
My only question is how only one person would receive the update I have Google it and that ota doesn't exist.
If you need the stock ftf I have it.
