Yes, but there currently is no update available for LT30at.

You're right. That was odd, there was a notification saying an update was available. When I tapped, it told me I was up to date.

And actually you should not lose root with an OTA update.

The system simply wouldn't boot.
Possible permanent side effects:
- Hard brick of LCD screen
- NFC chip rendered useless

I speaking based on experience. If you own a STE Xperia phone and flashed Xperia Go's FW, your screen is dead, permanently. There's no way to fix it, even when you flash your device's stock ROM. I'm not saying it will brick your Xperia Z, but I just trying to caution you. Though I quietly confident nothing will happen.

You will never brick NFC chip, it's exactly the same

It can. Some update flashes a new NFC firmware. Flashing the wrong NFC FW can permanently brick the chip.

But the NFC specific fw is the same since the chip is equal so normally it shouldn't make a difference

Tried to flash ZL kernel and system. No use. Blank screen at boot.
Even after flash ZL 423 kernel. Flashtool recognize my device a 1.307. Probably because of signature, flashing might failure.
Returned to 1.307
Need to solve drivers.
Ps: Locked bootloader.

I won't do that if I were you messing firmware which is purposed to that device is suicidal to ur Z. U might get softbrick. Unless u port it into ur Z, it might work.

Is it really so hard to just wait until it has been released for Xperia Z? Patience is a virtue

unbranded xperia z LTE updating

Hey everyone, so i'm a brand new unlucky owner of an unbranded xperia Z as i'm stuck on .434 jelly bean until sony decides to we (unbranded phone owners are worthy of an update)
So i'm looking at the prospect of doing the system update the hacky way and got just a few questions...
How can i check if i have an locked or unlocked botloader?If i unlock the bootloader i void my warrany?
If boot loader is locked is it absolutely necessary to unlock it? Because i'm afraid of loosing perks such as Bravia Engine...
Whats the most stable rom running latest jelly bean iteration for xperia z?
Thanks for answers in advance!

From the OP of that thread -
Z 10.4.B.0.569 couldn't be rooted with both exploit, so this root tools cannot be used with newer devices/firmwares than Z1 .257.

That's why I didn't link to that method in the first place.
Are you saying that it actually does work? If so, report it in that thread as a supported firmware.

No, it does not work. Tried already and can confirm it's failure.

Is there any way to do so without unlocking the bootloader?

Ive rooted my Z already using the advanced stock kernel v11 by DooMLoRd... thanks to all
