Yes, it is 6MB only

Weird, my .157 update says I need a computer.
I'm staying away from it until someone drops the rooted version I can flash.

Camera
At the latest update .157
Camera always crashed and freezing. Any ideas?:crying:

I too got the message for the update . Cant manually download the update , need to connect it to a PC with Sony PC Companion . The problem is it gets stuck with a message that i need 5gb free on C drive and i have only 4 gb free . Is there a way around . I cant free up that much . I have 2 tb worth free on other drives but c . Please help .

Bases on previous experience -and nothing else- updates that require the PC Companion and such a big download indicate the entire ROM is being overwritten and you'll most probably lose root and recovery.

I am in egypt and i just got the update. I have my phone rooted. When i try to download. After download finish it says verifying then it says could not verify. Any help please?

If you update the firmware from 108 to 157 you lose the root.
On this subject, you can read the last few pages of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092

U believe me or not but I kept root

I just received the update but it says could not verify the update. Not rooted nor bootloder unlocked. Help me

No, keep 108 with root

I have 133 with root. But update says "can't verify ". Is 157 worth it? Differences?

don't stress yourself about soft bricking your phone it is repairable
take the time to search through the various forum sections that are some useful "how to" guides on installing / upgrading your phone's firmware

Well said. Also, Odin isn't some homemade crappy software. It's acually a samsung flash tool made by samsung.
If it can't be updated by kies its probably OTA update.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software update (or simmilar, i use Croatian language so idk exact name in english).

chances are your phone is in a region that has not been given the latest firmware update yet
this is fairly common
your best bet is to use odin and do a manual update to the latest firmware version
make sure you pick the right one for your model of phone

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

Latest custom build version

Guys,
Can anyone tell what's the latest custom build of turbo 's stock Rom, if any. Mine is "S9311_MP_IN_MMX_15_flasher_user". I found some three versions of the stock ROM in a thread. If there is any latest build, what is the difference from the old one? Any improvement in battery life or something like that?
Latest original mmx firmware is S9311_MP_IN_MMX_19_flasher_user

Hi,
That is the official update. Tried it for few days only, but i can say that there is no bug at all. and it is smooth also. Didn't noticed the battery life. in the previous build battery drains fast and not sure if the same issue in this build.
No need to root for this update. you can flash this by "SP Flash tool"
tutorials are available in the general section of this forum.
Hit thanks if I've helped.
Are you sure this is the 19_flasher link? Because the download file reads 15_flasher? And how did you use sp flash for canvas turbo? Tell the procedure please!

how about the FPS of the latest update the 19_flasher??? still @ 47fps using quadrant benchmark or higher? TIA
some more questions on flashing..
Hello all, i am new to the forum. I went through this thread which answered some of my questions.
I have a few more questions that are still unanswered.
1. If this is official rom why isnt it available in OTA checks? Even the Service centre people are not aware of such a build version.
2. Will my warranty be void if i flash this rom? I believe it shouldnt if this is official rom.
3. I have currently 15-flasher-user and my indoor photos are very grainy. Is this problem solved with 19flasher?

If you do not know what to do after rooting I must question your reasons on why you want to root.
However, you may want to do it to learn about android and that is good enough.
There are numerous guides and how to posts in order to gain root on that FW, one of them is linked in my signature. There are now more direct ways to do it, but the one in my signature is good enough. Try that, it will mean some reading and learning, but that the joy in the journey

please search a little too. Anyways, wait for the latest update for ur phone. That will install 4.4.4 on your device and your build number will end with 108. Once you get that update rooting ur device becomes really easy. There is easy root tool available. Just download and start that program in ur PC and follow the onscreen instructions. Again, that will work only on 4.4.4 so wait till then.

You can do it. For that you need to flash an older 534 rom, root it and then install dual recovery and then flash the latest rom. I dont know why you are in such a hurry.
