For those who update to android 4.3 via Firmware-Over The Air (FOTA) and having sharp eyes may notice some bugs due to the leftovers of /data of android 4.2.
Here is a list of bugs I found :
- Sony Select takes forever to load
- Xperia with Facebook takes forever to sign in and load
- Ui layout issue when uninstalling app
The first two issue is rather easy to fix.
AFTER FOTA A IMMEDIATE FACTORY RESET IS COMPULSORY (internal storage need not wipe)
Press thanks if I helped you
Also Sony have completely knackered the Bluetooth stack... When I first got my z1 it was on 4.2 and would connect to my car audio system (navi 800 in a 2011 Vauxhall insignia) with no problem, allowing me to make and receive calls using the voice control on hands free.. After the update to 4.3, it connects but will not make or receive calls.. I contacted Sony who more or less said it was the audio systems fault! They obviously have done zero regression testing at all! I have tried the audio with a s3 which was running 4.3 upgrade with no problems.. If Samsung can make it work why can't Sony!
If anyone knows of a fix for this I will be extremely grateful!

Alan

Did you try the factory reset? Before that, I would delete the from phone from the car and the car from the phone, then re-pair. If that doesn't work, factory reset. If that doesn't work, reflash the 290 FTF.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.. I will try that today... What is the best way to reflash the ROM? Using the Sony companion or the flashtool thingy? Also, what ftf file do I need?
I also remember that there is a red button by the sim card slot to reset the phone? Or do I use the options in setting?
Sorry for all of the questions!
Regards,
Alan
Have tried the delete fone from car etc and repaired the devices and factory reset/ and also reflashed using the Sony companion but still does not work! The devices pair but I still cannot use the hands-free facility. WELL DONE SONY... NOT!!!!

This button is only to force the phone to turn completely off. It does not reset anything. Make sure that's what you tried for the reset.

The only proof is really to flash back to 4.2.2 and prove that's what did it. Sorry, there's not much else I can recommend here.
I installed a fresh with flashtool, wiped all data and still have that 3rd one with the UI layout when installing and uninstalling apps.

I use a bluetooth mouse with my Z1 and it's no longer functioning properly with the update. it stutters across the screen and is useless for anything really. Also movies seem to stop and restart or close. I've done a factory reset and it's still the same. I haven't tried my bluetooth keyboard yet. I use the mouse daily and hook up via hdmi so this is a major inconvenience. Anyone got a fix for this please?

Unfortunately, you may be up the same tree as @nalab1 and need to flash back to 4.2.2 to see if it's strictly a 4.3 issue. Otherwise, the only thing I can suggest is to cast a wider net and see if any other phones are having issues with Bluetooth and 4.3.
Hi xasbo,
Sorry for the noob question, but can you tell me how to downgrade my z1 to 4.2.2 and what ftf file I need. (Im on Vodafone in the UK)
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,
I have just had a look at the FlashTool Guide and saw this -
- Red: Firmware selector to selct the firmware you want to flash
- Blue: this will display the firmware content
- Green: Wipe options, you can choose to wipe certain things here
- Purple: Exclude options, this is to exclude content like kernel or baseband from flashing
- Orange: verification check, you don't need to edit this option
Are there any recomendations as to what to select in the Green/Purple/Orange sections?

Yesterday I updated my Xperia T to Android 4.3 via Sony Companion Software. My phone is not rooted. Everything apperently went fine, but after the Update process I wanted to turn on my Wifi, but it did not work. I tried that from the quicksettings and form the settings directly. The button remain grey for a certain time and the turns back to off.
I turned off my phnone and on again, but a white triangle with a screw came and the phone remained in that status for more than 6 hours. After that it turned on, but the Wifi problem remains. Regarding Bluetooth, that works fine.
What I noticed is that when I check the phone info and the Wifii settings, no MAC Adress is listed there for Wifi. I don't think its a hardware problem, because everything was fine before updating.
What should I do? I am afraid to turn my phone off bcause it could go back to the white triangle remaining for several hours in that state. I dont think a factory reset would help, because there seems to be an update problem and I would like to rather not loose all my settings.
Any help would be very appreciated, because I urgently need wifi in my university.......

The ftf file is the stock Rom, you can find it here on xda. Flashtool also. Flashtool only works if you have windows xp, vista 7 or 8. Not on 8.1. Repairing it using pcc should be easier though

Tnx again. Regarding stoch Rom, I think I am a newbie in that field. I will try to repair via PCC. I have sony bridge for Mac or a Windows PC with Windows 8.1. Which one would you prefer? I updated to Android 4.3 on a Windows 8.1 PC. Do you think that might be a reason, why there is an issue with the update process or something went wrong?

Unfortunately, reparing it with PCC did not help and I am quite desperate. I bought the phone last year as a used one. I am quite a newbie in this field, but could it be, that the rom installed is an altered one and a normal update via PPC leads to this Wifi problem? Normally that should not be the case, but how can I find that out what is causing the problem and what must I do to overcome this drama of mine. I whish I didn't perform that update, because everything wAs working fine before.....

A factory reset would definitely work. You don't know how many times I've seen people (even with different phones) have problems like these because they change their Android version and/or flash different ROMs without wiping their partitions, i.e., doing at least a Factory Reset. If you were rooted you could try deleting the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file in /data/misc/wifi. The problem is, since you're already on 4.3, there is no sure way to root 4.3 unless your bootloader is unlocked. So unless you find out a way to backup your data/settings, you're either going to lose it all when doing a Factory Reset, or downgrading to 4.1.2 (to root), or even flashing a stock 4.3 FTF, because I'm sure your problem is that you haven't wiped.
Hello guys.
Almost 2 weeks ago I had a really strange issue with my SP. I force stopped a Sony Select app, and then my device got in bootloop - over and over again, never stopping. I got home and repaired it successfully with PC Companion.
Now, it happened again... But it wasn't Sony Select Force Stopping now. I changed my theme - to a downloaded one; the wallpaper wasn't showing. Redownload the same theme - the same issue. Then I also got no wallpaper on the other themes... I thought of restarting the device. Then, SURPRISE! Bootloop.
Now I am repairing my phone again using PC Companion.
If anybody knows what causes this issue, please let me know, I never ever rooted this device, only upgraded via PC Companion, not other sources.
Thank you.

All was good until the program poped up a window and said that it couldn't download it anymore because of a network problem ( my internet connection was good, no problems ). And from that point on, when i try to open the phone it says " the software update failed, make sure the phone is connected to the computer and try again " and blacks out... also i think the battery is dead and i cannot charge it because it says only that and turns off...
Please help me... I don't know what to do anymore...
i tried with sony update service, it downloads the update and when it's about to install. says to make sure the battery is fully charged and try again... and i cannot do that... What to do ????

I mean i was stupid in the first place to not ask how to do it properly, and i don't want to lose the phone...

So I tried to unlock my bootloader several times (Yes, several times, because it was always saying ok, but then it was showing "ROOTABLE") then, when I Finally got it unlocked, I couldn't flash anything because it was gaving me error saying that couldn't write boot.. Then, Tried Pc companion but again, failed, and my phone was stuck in "Update failed (...)"
Then finally, I flashed advanced kernel by DoomLord and entered in CWM, but when I tried to wipe factory reset, It was saying that couldn't mount data.. Then, I have formated the Data and Media (SD Card) And then, I was able to do factory reset, but, then, I went to advance and did reboot recovery.. My phone turned off, but never came on... I arrived at home and connect ti to wall charger, but no sign of life, nothing, not even red led or anytihng.. NOTHING!! Don't know what happened.. I really need help on this man, please :c

Hello, I hope someone can solve me the following problem:
I've been with Validus and RR CM ROMs and one day my wifi stopped connecting to any network, I thought reinstalling the ROM would work, but not ... Today I've been doing full wipes and was the same. So my last chance was putting a STOCK but has not worked, so I do not know what else to do ...
When I try to connect appears:
- Connecting ...
- Disabled
- Saved
But never connected.
Thanks to that I can help with anything ...

have you tried connecting to different WiFi routers?
HAve you recently unlocked bootlader unofficially?
Yes, I have tried and the same, I unlocked months ago... Sometimes it connects (few minutes), I have tried to clean saved networks, wipe Google , recover WiFi from titanium backup... Now it is in authentication problem...

That's exactly what I thought and that's why I have asked you about your bootloader status. At times, you can lose your bluetooth and wifi while unlocking the bootloader which is more common if you unlock it unofficially. So if you can recall, when exactly the problem started. How long after you unlocked your bootloader ?
You say by reverting back to stock, it has not helped ? How did you revert back to STOCK. Try using Sony companion to repair your phone. That might help.
If that doesnot work, try relocking your bootloader on stock and see
Well, at times weirdest things seem to work!
I suggest flash STOCK which is device specific. i understand there is variation in Xperia Z models and thus I suggest you use the one which is device specific and report back,
By the way, is any Sony Care centre near your place ?

Well, at times weirdest things seem to work!
I suggest flash STOCK which is device specific. i understand there is variation in Xperia Z models and thus I suggest you use the one which is device specific and report back,
By the way, is any Sony Care centre near your place ?

I don't think it is because of unlocking because was officially and I have being using and changing ROMs and there wasn't any problem.
Maybe it could be when I flashed cm-12.1 (RR ROM). Then, I flashed stock one with flash tool to fix my WiFi, is there any different with companion? I can't go to Sony I am travelling in few days, and I need a phone soon!!!

The only reason I'm referring you to Sony companion is that it might fix the issue as it is official way to do it.

Dispatch it to a sony centre and they would certainly repair it for a small price

Can you give me the wifi module and tell me in what folder I have to copy it?

I am afraid I do not own an Xperia Z . I actually answer questions that no one answers in different forums.
I wish I could be of more help in this regard. Sometimes relocking your bootloader with flashtool helps as well.

I have exactly the same problem guys, it started when I tried to activate Tethering (hotshot) and it didn't work
Notice that I was on kitkat 4.4.4 then I flashed lollipop 5.0.2, wiped the data and still can't connect to wifi or activate tethering
Please help me guys

I sent it to Sony technicians and they wanted me to pay 130 € to fix the "electric issues" so there my XZ is without WiFi forever, I guess. Sorry mate.
