I'm using my Z3C on T-Mo USA which does not officially support the device. How will I be able to obtain Lollipop once it's released? I won't get anything from T-Mo because that will only be for the Z3 and not the Z3C. Will an OTA update be pushed via Sony directly? Thanks in advance.
i think there will have an OTA update,if not,you can flash 5.0 tft through flashtool anyway
There should be an OTA... it's how I got the last update from Sony and I bought an unbranded, unlocked phone from a retailer. Whether it will be pushed or not is another matter. Might have to check for a software update yourself.
Ok. Thank you very much.

I bought a 9305 locked to EE in the UK, and unlocked it. I've been using giffgaff for the last couple of months.
I've yet to see an OTA update for 4.1.2. Has anyone with a locked EE phone seen an OTA update yet?
I'm curious as to whether the fact that I'm not running on EE anymore is the reason I'm not seeing the OTA update.
I couldnt get an OTA update so plugged it in via Kies and it updated. Try that

I bet you can still update as normal with kies. I haven't unlocked and still couldn't update through ota. I did it with kies and it was fine.
Also will be unlocking the phone officially via ee as I don't want to mess around with them. All.mobile companies are finding excuses to void warranties and leave you be once they hook you up with their contracts
Updated with kies last night. I would be nice if OTA worked, I can't stand kies.
Just realised when I unlocked i could do OTA updates.... just checked and no update for me. will try Kies tonight

First, what model do you have? 6603 or 6602? Do you have root? Did you unlock your bootloader? I am in mexico and I received my update for the 6602 one week ago
You can download any FTF and flash it via flashtools, if you want stock, if you are in custom rom with UB you will always be able to update manually and never lose root
Anyone here i nthe USA got the official ota or update through pc companion yet? I'd prefer not to flash the nordic or baltic stock rom if i can avoid it. I'm getting a bit impatient waiting for the update though.
Hi,

Updating is easy and if Sony PC Companion is malfunctioning, you could use Flashtool ( get it here )
After that you can download the latest firmware ( ftf format ) here
There are some guides on how to flash the latest firmware, and don't worry flashing won't void your warranty or root your device.
This is the best and the most informative click me
Good luck
Hi
If I do that, will ota updates work in future?
Don't have time to fiddle around too much now and again every time there's an update,
Any ideas how to get it to pick up the ota update, which I'm sure has already been released for its region?
There's a thread around here with a tool to download the official full firmware files per region and flash them to your phone.
As long as you use a region that's compatible (with radios and all) the effect should be a perfectly fresh installed stock phone that will pick up OTA's just like any other official firmware.
sony flashtool or something? I can't remember.
Hi,
The firmware thats on the phone is global region,
23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - GLOBAL (1286-9917) #1
But i dont see lollipop updates for it.
Which region firmware should i use to flash?? Which would work 100%
Pls help with some advise asap which will work
