How to update Xperia Z without letting PC Companion using Internet - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My internet is now my phone's hotspot, I depend on it to surf the net. Now that I've downloaded a new software update, I forgot that the PC Companion still requires internet to continue installing the update. Because the needs to shut down during the update progress, I won't have internet access. Thus, updating my Xperia Z is not possible. Is it possible to make PC Companion not use internet while updating my device?

[Q] I want to update my Xperia TX via PC Companion, but I have a question

Hello everyone, My question is - " Will I be able to disconnect the USB connection when PC companion is downloading the latest firmware? "
But I will connect when the Update precess will start after download completed.
Is that okay? Or disconnecting at downloading time will create any problem. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you.
Why do you want to disconnect it?
Jus run pccompanion update and connect it when prompted to.
If you disconnect them phone before the process is finished of course it will not work

Thank you very much. Another question, which way update will be more safer? PC Companion or By Mobile ?

Thanks a lot, mate!! :highfive: this is the prob i was experiencing fr a long time. Now I know why :victory:
could you please create a FTF of the 284 with chargemon files?
I don't have access to windows and hence cannot install PC companion.
Edit----
Made the FTF myself.
Thanks for the tip though!!

After installing the FTF from XDA i updated the phone from PC and it updated successfully. But still the phone keeps turning on when charging in OFF mode. Is there a file that can be replaced manually????
i flashed with flashtool and i got same problem with you. then I flash with PCC, my phone can be turned off while charging.

guyz i don't know what is it you are not doing right.

No Problem with the FTF I created. I can upload it once I reach home. Its on my laptop.
@dhiman33 are you using a 32 bits pc? I saw the same problem when I used a 32 bits pc but no problem on my 64 bits work computer or on my 64 bits Ubuntu laptop. Also if you have unlocked Bootloader, the PCC won't be able to flash the rom but the files will be downloaded and you can use Flashtool to create a FTF for yourself.
Flashtool works so much better on my Ubuntu system. Its easy, no need of finding or installing drivers.. lol!!

Xperia SP issues

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.

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.

Did you know maybe what means r3d or r2d at firmwares?And also that files from the program that you recommend me are not ftf right?

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
