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?

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
Thanks I'll be doing that 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.

OK I guess this is a real noobie question, but can I debrand my Xperia T without routing it?
I want to update to the latest sony JB update that I see is out on the sony site but it says my phone is up to date. Could this be because I am on UK Vodafone?
If so I would like to debrand from Vodafone to install this latest official update. I have apps that won't work if I am routed so can't go there.
Can I do this, and if so how please??
Many Thanks!
Flash the UK generic ftf that us in the general section using flashtool. This will debrand your phone without rooting but does change your firmware do has other side effects. The only way to stay on your firmware and demand will be to root the device

I downloaded it OTA, but don't know where it's stored to make ftf. didn't install yet, afraid to lose the root.waiting for your new rom. good luck.
OTA updates usually come as ZIP files suitable for the phone's bootloader/recovery programs (and more often than not these updates only include patches, not the complete partition images). They aren't formatted like the updates downloaded via SUS or PCC and as such they might not be usable for FTF generation.

Hi, if you want to create a ftf file for the Xperia T Bell mobile version. Just follow this wonderful guide http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/how-to-create-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
Btw, your phone won't be wiped or reset when you follow this guide. Make sure you unplug your phone when it starts downloading the firmware. You will know what I am talking about once you read this guide. Thanks again :good::laugh:
hope someone uploads a rogers ftf, or even the blob file.

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:

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 ).

There are many Jellybean firmwares available for the Z. Jellybean is 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and there are several firmware versions available for each version of Android for the Z. The settings apk will be specific to the version you're running.
So I would suggest that you stop with the unhelpful comments if you don't actually know what you're talking about and remember that you're the one asking for help.
Edit - I see you didn't "accidentally delete" anything.

If you just wanted the settings apk from any rom, you should have just asked. Go and download a stock based custom rom from the development section and extract it from the zip. Make sure it's at least a 4.2.2 rom, as Dualshock support wasn't added until then.

Oh nooooo. You found me out. I was hoping someone would give me the app considering how easy it is with titanium backup. I already would have downloaded a stock based rom but its annoying and doesnt really need to be done. Howver since there are zero links to just the apk and no one is willing to share looks like ill have to download a rom and extract it. Man....thats annoying...

Were you able to download today's update, and install it? From what I understand, it will not let you install due to the changes in the system partition due to root.
That's right. He will be able to download the update but not to install it.
