I'll answer your queries one by one.
1. No it won't cause any problem.
2. I am not sure of Sony Live app, I tried using sony Jive and it rejected the ROM by giving some error that signified that Sony Jive app was for India fw only.
3. Yes, as soon as a new firmware would roll out for Taiwan, you would get an update, no matter you try to update from India.
Don't forget to press thanks if you think I helped you :good::good::good: .

Don't want to ruin your happiness, but this update is not really a good one as it reduces the speed of XZR and is much more heavier. The lockscreen turn on sometimes takes 5 seconds to 15 seconds after sometime of usage with the ROM. Some of the modules in XPOSED are also creating problem and continuously send force close to the UI. That is why I also updated to the same firmware and now am back on 4.3 India firmware. I am happy with this. Would wait for second performance upgrade to XZR KK.
Anyways congo to your new update and enjoy the new features. :good:

this version is not rootable right now, so if you count on root to do anything, avoid this one.
but if you are pure stock person, go for it, IT IS AMAZING, damn fast, damn smooth, never felt JB like this, NOR ON MY ASUS TF300T!
go for it if rot is of no importance to you

if it you could do it over the air, you MAY keep the root using ROOTKEEPER, but this way, using PCC or SUS , it's not possible to keep root...
as i said, if you don't care about root, go for it bro, it's easy to update, and the new firmware is just amazing
hope you enjoy your TX
or if you have unlocked the bootloader just flash a custom kernel with root.
DooMKerneL is my suggestion

You didnt understand. I said I cannot update it through Wi-Fi. Its saying "your device already has the latest available system update" but in PC Companion or PC Update Service says that update is avilable. Why my TX didn't got update notification?
or this update can only be done through PC?
by the way which method u used to update? Air or PC?
Maybe because it just realease a day from now.. So maybe.no OTA for now maybe a week or month will be available via OTA.. my brother accidentally update my xTX and i was pissed because i cant root it.. But the update has noticeable changes on performance.. Battery improves too.. But wifi thetering has its issue as i read someone posting it.. But for me i dont bother by that i dont use.it.. What bothers me is i cannot have root.. without root i feel my phone is less usefull for me.. But as the previous.post if your not rooted user definitely this update is good for you..

i DID understand bro, and what i said was just an explanation, for ANY condition, i meant under ANY condition, in future, it is impossible to keep root when you update through PCC or SUS, but you MAY keep the root using rootkeeper if you update via OTA.
it's normally usual that new firmwares are first available through PCC, not OTA, it's not weird..
I myself, downloaded the FTF file from Hong Kong, then flashed it via flashtools, you don't need to unlock bootloader if you want to flash a Sony Official Firmware
don't worry about anything, this update is just fabulous even without root, it's a BIG BIG performance improvement
let me know what you do, will help you as much as i can

seems like flashing the old kernel, having root, and then flash the new kernel won't do us any good, it keeps rebooting
and if you stay on old kernel, i mean Doom Kernel v07, so you are using the old kernel not the updated one which you actually looking for
it seems that there is still no way to have root with the new kernel righ away
Thank you very much :victory:

new Firmware (10.3.1.A.2.67) but old stock apps (Walkman, Album, Video,..) ?!? o.O

hi ^^
i got a message for the new Firmware (10.3.1.A.2.67). i tried to install it via OTA, it failed, then i tried it via PC, failed and softbricked my phone. then i flashed the new Firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2464364) with FlashTool, cause PC-Companion and Sony-Update-Service failed.
now i have the new Firmware but the stock-apps are old ones.
Album Version 4.0.A.0.14
Movies Version 4.0.A.0.22
Photos and Videos Version 2.0.A.0.30
bit strange. i found 2 WALKMAN-Apps in the Apps-List:
WALKMAN Version 2.0.A.0.30
WALKMAN Version 6.1.A.0.4
in the Sony-Update-Center there are no updates, only this "Xperia Lounge 2.4.2"
can i get somewhere the most recent stock-Apps?
and if i install them manualy, would they get updates from Sony automaticaly via the Sony-Update-Center?
k.r.
Rene
It happens to me, it will update it automatically after a while and not immediately, just put it on auto update...
They remove the new apps cause the new album is very slow.

Yeah! There is a setting in Play Store app to update via WiFi
only, so if you are not in WiFi, it will not notify you. Check the

aah, ok. i know this Option, but the Xperia-stock-apps dont update with Play Store, they update with the "Update Center"

That is strange....
What's the betting if it is just a new kernel and this thread is not another hoax, that Sony only release the new kernel as OTA for all the regions that already got bugged 4.3... They clearly halted the rollout of .295 due to all the bugs, so they could smooth that affair over first with OTA and still make everyone else who didn't get .295 wait even longer for .199 in full.
Funny how those .295 sources have only just come out a few days ago as well and then they do a kernel update. Not usually into conspiracy theories but I am starting to wonder if they are trying to teach the community a lesson over that leaked build that disappeared from PTCRB... Devs start working with that so they release .295 with same kernel so devs work with that thinking its final and wait for sources. Sources come out devs start working and now this... They either playing games or seriously stalling to make KK totally unfeasible.

I think they just had to push it .295 thinking of the over kill we would have had when the update would have been released now in March and not February... On the other hand bug fix updates are common these days.
Anyway KK is so not hitting our XT... They managed to delay 4.3 and let's say 4.4 really hits Z line in April we waited almost three months longer for it... So XT is already way out of 18 months deadline and Sony will stick to it and is only awaiting this deadline to be over to change the status to last update my two cents on that
I think it is a shame as the 18 months guarantee is bull.... It should be 18 months from the first update on

Hopefully. But I won't be flashing it immediately if it does. I rely a lot on stock-based kernels. So i'll wait for either DooMKernel or F(X)TrinityUltimateKernel to be updated. Maybe those who already got the update could share with us any changes or improvements?

The kernel should be the same, I doubt a small update like this will have major kernel changes
When I get home I will update and install Doom's advanced stock kernel to gain root again.

Hot Hot Hot!!
Hi Guys and Gals,
Been running this on my C6903 overnight, and boy is it hot. In fact my device was so hot too the touch that it was almost unbearable.
Because of this I've had to revert back to the '108' build. Is it just me, or is anybody else experiencing this?
Also, on every boot there is a notification relating to mobile data, is this specific to vodafone?
If anybody has another ftf aside from this German one, I would be extremely grateful if you can post it, so that I test and compare, thanks in advance.
Very strange, I finally got around to flashing this and I stayed on the same version, same kernel, same baseband.
Pccompanion said I was up to date now but nothing changed.
Oh well.

Getting warm after 5 minutes of browsing or gaming

I'm having the latest update 4.4.4,14.4.A.0.157 and C6903 version, so when playing even simple games like Candy Crush with WI-FI or 4G turned OFF, the phones gets warm.. also with Google Chrome browsing or Facebook.
Is there a way to solve this? I don't want to send my phone to Sony service, waiting weeks to get it back...
If root can solve, this how to root my phone? Never rooted an android phone so if possible I want some detalied informations about rooting and unrooting(I don't want to lose the warranty, sometimes I would want to unroot the phone). Saw some things with CPU settings that helps Z1 to don't get warm anymore, maybe you guys knows. Thanks!
well first if you can install a custom rom with LB
if i didn't solved your problem
i recommend you to use a custom Kernel but you need ulock your bootloder in order to flash kernel
