I am running .290 atm and when I plug into PCC, says my newest firmware to update is.136. I want to skip. 136 because of all the bugs. Does this mean KK is not available for me yet?

Download FTF's from Development and use FlashTool to flash them, follow a tutorial if you want to preserve root

Upgrade/downgrade...

Hi,
I am thinking of flashing the 4.4 upgrade to my z1 to see if the Bluetooth issues that I had on 4.3 will be resolved. My question is -
If I upgrade to 4.4 and I am still having Bluetooth issues, will I have any problems downgrading back to 4.4.2?
Any help will be appreciated!
P.S. I don't need to have root access!

Yes because you cannot downgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2, they are the same
If you mean downgrading to 4.2 or 4.3, it should be fine (AFAIK)
Remember there was the loss of IMEI going from 4.3 to 4.2, so I suggest only downgrading to 4.3

Hi gregbradley
Thank you for your reply,,,
Sorry I meant downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2...
I have tried the upgrade to both .290 and .136 (4.3) and back again to .257 (4.2.2) and did not suffer any IMEI loss.. Does this mean that I was just lucky or?

Alan

Well, if there was no problem, there was no problem
You should be able to downgrade so give it a go and see

That's your choice. Vodafone UK will come with some bloat, but you can remove that with root.

Yes. It's out finally but so late.

Question
Does this fw also contain bugs from the previously released same version of the ROM for rest of the world? I mean bugs like battery eaten by Google play services and Slacky settings, over all poor performance by ROM?

I haven't updated to this firmware yet, so don't know yet.

you can receive official update as this ftf file is made from official file from sus provided your are not rooted and bootloader is locked

Bro do you have previous ftf files for 4.3/4.2.2/4.1 ?

Ok thanks

It worked great for me, also solved some issues regarding BT audio. I'm having similar issues with a Z, guess I'll have to do the same as well.
