If i change my 4x firmware to another countrie (ex: update to austrian firmware , a 4X bought in honk kong), will i still get the Austrian firmware future updates via OTA or just KDZ ?

No idea... you can downgrade to an older Austrian version and see what happends, how the phone upgrades...
If you do, don't forget to give feed back

didnt understand what you mean.
You reverted back to 10c and after that you updated to 10f via OTA and it was only 7,6mb? But did it update to 10f via OTA?

I didn't understood... can you explain?
After update you're not getting what?
After upgrade from V10C to V10F, you went back to V10C, and now you don't have upgrade notification to V10F?
Is that it?
I think you will. The .kdz file is a complete image and the FOTA program is included, so it should not stop you from getting those updates. However i've never needed to flash a .kdz, so can't tell exactly. But why worry? If the OTA doesen't work, you can still flash it manually.
first phone was on 10c and ota found update with 7.6mb
i decided to update 10f kdz and updated to 10f
and thenn want some persian lang and rtl support so i re falashed v10c and tried ota but found nothing

by flashing manually, you mean with the Lg Mobile tool? does it wipe your data/games?

Using LG Official software will delete everything, at least with me...
You can upgrade using the tradicional unofficial method to keep the apps that you have.
I use to flash with the web upgrade/ official tool but, when I'm just "playing" with the "flash" (using the unofficial) all my apps, setting, everything remains, no matter if I upgrade or downgrade and if I downgrade and upgrade again...
But if your goal is to see if the official software upgrades, its better to do a backup!!!

What do you mean with "continent firmware"? The latest in europe (open, all languages. To be honest I don't understand why there are open_portugal; open_italy; etc... if the firmware is the same) is V10F, in Brasil V10B...
But there you can use the europe V10F

There is no Brazilian portuguese language on europe firmware, only portuguese from portugal. thats why im moving to brazilian 10a firmware. after that, i will check if OTA update itself to brazilian firmware 10b.
If NOT, than updating the firmware from one countri/continent like europe for example, to another countries firmware like brazil for example, affects the OTA update.
thats what im going to test tomorow. Im shure people here changed their`s firmware to another region one, but no one told if it still receiving update.

I know that the european version only have PT-PT, but the difference is that big? The improvements in the firmware are not better than the language issue? And that issue it will be in a few cases cause in the keyboard for example, if you choose SwiftKey 3 you can choose PT-BR and in a lot of other apps...
The update OTA... probably you'll see here posted the update first than in your phone.
Is just an opinion, you do what you think its better of course.
Anyway, enjoy your phone and wish you good luck whatever you decide
i tried to update via OTA , but it says, phone not registered. I registered in lg web site but still gives me the same emssage. Should it take a while, or where do i need to register in order to check for updates?
OK, it happened what i suspected:
the phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your original stock firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei that is Euro, not the firmware you have.
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.
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
