I have been waiting for updates for my C6903 since early this year and yet my PC companion and OTA service both say my phone is up to date...
It's a UK handset from EE
Could someone let me know what the latest firmware FTF is? Either UK or generic is fine.
Thanks
Never mind, figured it out lol....

My Z1 is from Ee but second hand from game. I first got the Xperia Z because it was unlocked then it got blocked by something then Game( the shop) charged an extra £80 so I could have a Z1 which is locked to ee when I wanted an unlocked.
Ughhh I hate this world

Hello
According to Sony Mobile's UK website /gb/software/phones/xperia-t/ the update is available:
Latest available software: 9.1.A.0.489
Release date: 2013-02-07
I got my Sony Xperia T by phone upgrade when my contract was up for renewal through T-Mobile (UK). When I select 'check for updates' on that website or through Sony PC Companion, it says my phone is already up to date. I'm on 4.0.4, build number 7.0.A.3.195. The phone doesn't have any physical branding or installed software that appears to be related to T-Mobile so I'm unsure if it is classed as a 'branded' phone.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a 'problem' at Sony or T-Mobile?
Many thanks!

Please search before posting and post in the correct section. This is a question that wants an answer so should be in Q&A
However, in answer to your question.
Sony have released the first batch of the update. Non branded phones have started to receive this update which is staggered globally and will take between 2-3 weeks to role out around the globe.
Branded phones will take longer as sony release their update to the carriers who then tinker with the update and add their own bloatware to it. Branded update are generally 4-8 weeks later than their non branded counterparts depending entirely on your carrier and is nothing to do with sony

Do you know if your phone is sim-free? if it is sim-free I would assume its a non branded phone...and should be getting the update. If its locked to T-Mobile, then there is a chance it is considered a branded phone (even though there is no apps etc) and is dependant on T-Mobile releasing the update.
this is my assumption and please correct me if I am wrong
My phone isn't branded and still hasn't received the update (not appearing in Sony Flashtool)
The ftf is bring uploaded now, look in the general section

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
So I see people are talking about firmware updates way pas beyond the xxxx.518, and yet my phone (bought it from Clove) reports no updates are available.
I've tried to connect it to the PC software, same result, the software is up to date.
So the question is should I get it by now or is something wrong with the phone?

There were no OTA updates for the unlocked unbranded XZ1 as of yet. To get the latest .534 firmware you need to flash it.

Yeah there are 0 firmware updates which is very strange as unlocked ones usually get the updates first! O2 branded phones here in the UK are running .534 so its really frustrating! I've got .534 for the unlocked Central Europe phones and will flash that if the UK one isn't released soon!

I received an OTA update this morning for .534. Purchased my unbranded C6903 from Clove and using in the U.S.
I asked EE for a update release and there response was we don't receive info on software updates.
Are they for real?

You should be able to flash the unlocked firmware onto your EE branded phone... It shouldn't void your warranty but if they make a lot of fuss, you can easily flash the EE branded firmware back.. Don't take my word for it as I've never used a carrier branded phone (always unlocked)... Wait for some opinions on the forum!
Hey there all,
I have a Z1 C6906 R3B. I live in Long Island NY, and am running on AT&T.
I still have not received the 4.4 update via PC Companion of Sony Update Service.
Can someone PLEASE inform me how to either get the update or change R3B to something that will get timely updates?
Thank you in advance!
From Carriers they are always late to release the Updates. So if you don't want wait just flash via Flashtool the FTF C6906 14.3.A.0.681 Generic CA 1276-7484, with that you will also get rid of carrier bloatware. R3B is just a customization so you phone will be just fine. No other way at the moment. BTW, I will think about it first, before update and have regrets.
Got it... I flashed the generic, i'm now on 4.4. Thanks!

Ask in the thread, or in Q&A, don't clog up the general with these simple question threads. But yes, follow the tutorials (Pro-tip: Use the search function! It's super useful!) for flashtool and flash any ftf from any region, some have different apps pre-installed etc. you can use them from any region. I bought a UK sim-free Xperia Z and I've flashed Taiwanese, German and Belgian ftf's.
No harm in trying, just make backup before. I'm on c6606 but in US and have always flashed UK or EU branded and they worked fine I just had to input my APNs for cell coverage.

Pm me so i can tell you what to do in spanish
I called t mobile US today. They have me the run around of we are testing it. Then the lay just stopped talking after I said most other TMo around the world have released it as had the generic US. The lay wouldn't give me an ETA. Then she didn't want to talk to me when I mentioned they missed several 4.3 versions.
All in all, I wouldn't wait on them. Wait for a pre rooted on here and go for it.

C6006 user here. From experience, there's not much difference between C6606 and C6603 firmware beside the band and customization.
Download the lastest FTF, make sure its for C6603, and flash.
As a precaution, tick "Baseband" when flashing.
I think you should try Canadian Bell?

This is my first Sony phone ever (a love at first sight btw), so I wonder how to update its firmware. I saw in the news that a fresh OTA is available, but Update Center claims that my device is up to date already. The current build number of my Z3C is 23.0.A.2.93 - a pretty old version I think.
If that helps, my phone is a D5803, purchased new from a GSM shop with official Sony guarantee, unlocked by default. Oh and thanks for helping out a fresh Sony user..

If you don't find the OTA, then connect your phone to pc and update via Sony PC Companion.
Sent from my Compact Beast The Third.
the FOTA is still rolling out, if your update center doesn't list it yet then it will in a couple of days [it's based on your provider, not rolled worldwide at the same time]
ok I gave it a few days and I still see no OTA. I also installed the PC Companion app and it shows no updates are available.. which looks pretty much impossible for me based on the list of available firmwares and the fact that I'm on 23.0.A.2.93.
Or well.. is this normal?
it is possible that this firmware won't be released in your area as i've read on the sonymobile site that some firmwares are region specific, where are you located and have you checked your local sonymobile site for most recent software version for your phone to see if it matches the one you have currently?
I bought my new Z3C in an independent shop but with a Sony guarantee so I think it's probably an import one. How could I check which country it was coming from? It could help checking the latest software version for that region then..
You can check it by using XperiFirm
I didn't get an OTA. When I went into settings, about, software update it told me about the update and gave me a LINK on where to go to get the updater for my computer.
The updater worked OK on my mac but it sure wasn't as easy as an OTA.

Same story & build here. I don't bother. Don't like to fix what isn't broken. I'm only interested in the future upgrade to lollipop.
