Hi!
My Z1 firmware is 14.1.G.1.518, and i saw in the sony's website from my region(Portugal) that there is a newer version, the 14.1.G.1.534.
But when i connect the mobile through PC companion or Update service it says that i'm already with lastest update. Anyone knows a reason why this is happening? :|

because they do not release all updates at once, just wait until it hits your region
Hello to everyone!
This is my first post to this great forum. Recently I bought a Sony SP C5303 and now I face a complicated problem and I want your help.
The situation:
The phone was bought as unlocked (and not rooted) and when I got it, it prompt me to update to the 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254 as previously had an older build version. I successfully did the update and everything works fine BUT right now I am wondering why I can't see the official update for 4.3
After a lot of search I realised that the phone was supplied from T-mobile (UK) as it has customization version 1272-7168_R6A
So, the phone is unlocked, unrooted and since I bought it operates on Three network.
However either when I connect it with PC companion, or I do the manual search for updates through the headset, I am unable to see the update to 4.3
I am wondering if there is any conflict between the T-mobile unlock and the Three network that I operate the phone.
Is there any way so I can trigger the update? Should I wait a little bit more? I am not sure and I am not so good with these things.
The only I want is not to cause the phone to lock somehow or to install a custom rom, neither root it.
Thank you very much for your help and your answers!
I would stay on 4.1.2. 4.3 is a piece of crap. I made the mistake of upgrading and had to downgrade. I tired many roms and did not like any of them. Stock, root and xposed frameworks still best for stability, features and battery life.

This is due to the mobile operator themselves. I am with o2 and do not have the 4.3 update for my SP either, it is down to the operator to decide when they release the update as they have to fill it with their bloatware first!
You can of course flash 4.3 yourself using flashtool I did, their are plenty of guides on this forum

To be honest I am a little bit confused what determines if the phone is going to update or not.
I mean that is the provider responsible for delivering the update or the customization version? If we think that with no sim, we just plug the phone to pc companion and it is able to see the update, then it depends on customization version.
Is there any official reference for how the phone is determined to be valid for the update?
I still believe that there is a conflict here between the current provider I operate the phone (Three) and the customization version that comes from T-mobile (the phone was unlocked from T-mobile).
Thanks guys!
P.S @xEaGLeNeC Wow!!I heard completely the opposite from many people. They claimed that the phone battery last more with 4.3! I will try to search more if it finally worth to update or not.
Good day, I have a problem with my android and firmware update. I have seen some blogs about xperiaV posting that they already have JB 4.3 update and the latest version of firmware 9.2.a.2.5.. I am wondering how they update it 'cause when i connect my phone to Pc and run the PC Companion, i check the update and it says my phone/tablet is up to date, but the android version of my phone was still 4.1.2 and the firmware version is 9.1.a.1.140.. I don't understand what is the problem of my phone or at my PC Companion Software. I tried also connecting my phone to internet and check for update and still it says my system is up to date. My main concern why i wanted to update my phone, it is because my phone is now dead signal as in no signal (by the way i'm form the Philippines using Smart Communication Network postpaid) I've already switching the network from GSM only and to other choices provided but still no signal. I tried switching my Airplane mode and it displays an airplane icon on the signal area (I think airplane mode is working well, never tried using is). I've read some blogs also that you need to root your phone and flash the firmware and so on to update the android version, but i think its just changing the room, not really updating the system. I don't want to do that 'cause my phone might turn into bootloap 'cause i don't have much knowledge on doing that. I've read also some blogs stating that there is a bug or network issue on version 4.1.2. So i am looking forward from anybody here in the forum who can help or teach me what to do to update my android and firmware version.
I am not sure of it useful to 'upgrade" the phone to solve a problem - this problem of yours. If I were you I'd use the repair my phone option in PC-Companion first, and then see what happens with the phone signal.
You can simly flash any ftf file for your phone with flashtool. Not the sony one. You don't need root access for it
#Mr. Peter-K I've tried it already just a minute ago and still no use. Related to the blogs that i have read regarding on the 4.1.2 version network bug. there problem has been solve after updating the version of there android.

Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Download 9.2.A.2.5 unbranded coming from Singapore or HongKong (since you're from Asia) and follow the instructions to flash.
Good luck

You can jump straight to 9.2.A.2.5
It's important that you wipe all your data... and Flashtool will do it for you automatically if you don't change anything just before flashing

I actually don't know how sim-unlocking works.
Have you ever asked to your network? Usually they give you a code after having paid a little fine.

Back to my thread.still my phone signal is not working. i just found out w while ago that if i am in the higher place like 2nd floor of the building, i got a 2g network and my phone signal is working. but if i'm already at the ground floor the signal is not working. is it ok if i am going to do open line on my so that it will receive any type of network or is it really the software problem of my phone causing the signal not working??
So today i got a new unopened xperia Z from a friend for free
So i went on connecting to my WIFI it shows that the device needs to updated to frimware 10.31.A.2.67
(which i later learned that it was a update released in 2013).But i didnt update.
My phone is in frimware 10.1.A.1.434 which i guess is an old frimware.
Can i directly update to a new frimware ?Can i update it to 4.4.4 or newer versions and also how?
My device is xperia Z C6603

You can install SONY PC companionon your PC and use that to update your phone.
If that still doesnot help, you can use flashtool which is unofficial way to upgrade/downgrade your phone.
You would need FTF from general section and also flashtool which you can get from here. Make sure the FTF is device specific or your would end up bricking up your phone
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can search xda for how to use it. If you still have questions, quote me and I would be glad to help
I just got brand new Xperia X Performance that came with 6.0.1, and I'm trying to figure out why I can update it. It's unlocked but not rooted, basically right from the factory as far as I know.
When I go into Software Update in the phone's settings, it says "Your device already has the latest available system updates."
When I use the Sony app on my PC it says my system software is up to date.
I actually can't find anything about this issue, anybody here have any ideas?
Thanks!
try downloading and running xperifirm, find out if your region has the update at all, you should be able to update atleast to 7 anyway
There are a few variants that are considered as internal units or something like that and they don't get OTA updates, also HK units were stuck on 7 for some reason last time I checked. Mine is a french model, and yesterday I received the april security patches while the global variant got it two months ago

Thanks for the reply.
Here's a screenshot of Xperiafirm. https://ibb.co/dUCN3T
I'm in Canada, though I'm on Freedom Mobile, not Rogers or Bell. I don't think my carrier ever sold this phone, and I'm not sure what would happen if I flashed 8.0 made for Bell or Rogers phones.
Ideally I'd like 7.1.1 Canadian generic for Xperia X Performance, but I can't seem to find that anywhere.
I've also never done this so I don't really know what I'm doing, and don't want to void my warranty!
Thanks for you help!!
Good the ROMs that you see for Canada are all latest 8.0 with May security patches and maybe your phone is one of these and the updates just got stucked for some reason.
First you have to check what kind of model you have to check this, to do so you should open the dialler and type
*#*#7378423#*#*
From the service menu you should select -> Service Info -> Software Info and look for Customization Version:
As I said mine is a french model so it states 1302-9342_R2E your should be something different but only the first 8 numbers matter
then look this number in Xperifirm if yours is everything different from Internal Unit (second column from the screenshot) then there is a easy way to try and update without loosing your warranty
First there is always a risk! But I have done this a few times for my Xperia U and Xperia M5 and had no problems at all.
Do a backup - contacts...everything you need as it will delete them
charge the phone to at least 80%
then you should go to the Xperia Companion and do a software repair, not update but repair
It should install the latest version for your phone but it shows the version it installed only when it's finished...
Even if it has not installed the latest update then just connect the phone to your wifi/LTE and try the OTA updates again (could take up to an hour)
This is the safest way that will not void your warranty in any way but will delete your info (contacts, pics..etc. ) so do a backup prior
And if possible use a laptop with a working battery as even a 1 second glitch in the grid could cause the phone to get bricked
And if your phone is imported from China and the customization number is considered as an Internal Unit the only way you could get 7.0 or 8.0 is by flashing and another ftf file as the ones for Bell Canada or Rogers, there are actually some ROMs uploaded in XperiaBlog
there could be some in XDA but I have not search for any

Thanks so much for the reply...I discovered the version of Android installed on my phone is a version meant for Journalists/Reviewers/Commercial use, and can not be updated. I just got a refund for the 3-year warranty portion of my purchase after pointing this out to them. So after the 90 day warranty that came with it runs out, I'll be able to do anything I feel like with this device.
I'll be looking for a safe way to install 7.1.1 hopefully, and if not then 8.0. There seem to be less issues with 7.1.1, but there's really only one way to find out: when I start using it.
I'll definitely need a point in the right direction when it comes to that though. I understand Sony has an official flashing tool, and you have to unlock the bootloader (which is supported on my phone even with this version). But I haven't done it before and don't know how.
