Tmobile Xperia Z, will it see lollipop?? According to sony, the device's latest software version is complete and it's lollipop.... but according to Tmobile, 4.3 is the latest version. Moreso, tmobile's lollipop update center isn't showing the xperia Z even on the list of current devices rolling out 5.x!
Does anyone have any information on this?
If it's not available with update center, why not to update by ftf and flashtool?
what is t mobile?
I can't find any ftf for the xt1042

XT1042 is the Moto G. Motorola devices cannot be flashed with Flashtool.
As for the original question, it seems T-Mobile have abandoned the C6606 and aren't approving any more software updates for it.

Duh me, got my threads mixed up.
Yes that's what it appears... Really really stupid too... Everyone else is enjoying lollipop and T-mo is stuck in the past.

I have a 6606 and I flashed a 6603 Spain. Everything worked as it should. I then flashed 6603 Belgium to the newest one .244 and its awesome. If you want to tether, you need to wipe data via the flashtool. You can still back-up/restore using Sony pc companion.

I followed the Instructions made sure I put the zip on internal memory not SD card.
So...what is the advantage of flashing another stock rom from another region. I dont understand the difference between the stock rom I allready have and the other various stock roms available here.

Rooting the phone was pretty easy what had me confused was the different model # of this phone and which roms are safe.

Because for example I flashed the newest 4.2 firmware that was just released yesterday I only used Spain because it was the newest now my stock ROM is light years behind gawd its still 4.1
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
There are just 3variants samsung also have them but names them differently or sometimes same with different model number example S4 i.e i9500 & i9505
Anyways there are 3 variants i guess of XZ
C6602: Hspa+ model
C6603: lte model
C6606: tmobile version
You can flash any firmware on any device it will be just that you will miss functionality of lte if you flash c6602 etc i hope thats simple enough

Yes it's a very sexy and waterproof phone I'm very satisfied so far with it IMO it looks better than HTC one and S4 and the OS is very smooth.

Hi
Anyone here with bell? Just got my new Z and it's still on 4.1.2. When I check for update it says up-to-date. I had a ZL before and it had 4,2,2 on bell.
How about other Z users with bell? What version are you guys on? How do I update without connecting the phone to a pc?

Got a new one recently too, it's probably going to be early to mid 2014 I read somewhere.

You can safely flash a .67 firmware. I used the generic ES one and everything works fine, including LTE.
Yes as of now its 4.1.2 stock on bell xperia z

Check out the stickied thread - 'Getting started' there is a guide to using Flashtool there. It's very simple and easy, and works well.

will my warranty be void if i flash it with 4.2.2?
Also i checked the flash tool video from sony - it says it can only be used with unlockable bootloader versions. My phone says the boot loader is not unlockable. I just bought this phone from bell. Can someone give me basic newbie instructions on how to get 4.2.2 on it?

Bell Xperia Z C6616
Just wanted to let ya know,
i recieved the update for 4.3 on my Bell Xperia Z C6616 (Canada) Today.
Updating now
So with the arrival of KitKat and Sony developing for the international z1 when should we expect it on the T-Mobile variants? Just a curiosity that reached me.
2015. We don't have 4.4 on Z1 yet and TMO will have it much late than us.
:silly: its out now, im confused on how to get it... the ota says i have the latest version....

The problem is T-Mobile doesn't let anyone know about updates. I really think they won't drop this update on this phone.

Hi my xperia Z1 has still not updated or given me any notifications. I connected it to PC and checked with sony PC Companion but it is still saying that my phone is updated with the latest version. What should I do?
Thank you
Matt
Which country do you live? And which provider are you on? Do you have a branded or unbranded device? Which model of Z1 do you have( for example: mine is c6903)? Is PC Companion updated to the latest version? As you can read there are many possible factors why your device hasn't got the update yet! Updates are rolled out in phases! You can decide to wait or you can update via flashtool( flash a ftf, no root needed)

Hi there and thanks for reply. To answer your questions, I happen to live in Malta in Europe, and my provider is Vodafone. The sony z1 is an original buy and branded. My model is also C6903. I will check if I happen to have the latest update of PC Companion. I actually prefer to wait some more rather than update manually. What do you recommend?

I would suggest you manual flashing, my girlfriends Z1 was same branded as mine (Polish orange), I was sick of waiting for update and flashed the global version on my own, she still didn't recieve 4.4.2 update.
I was also scared before flashing firmware, but now am cool n happy with kitkat, imma give you link to my thread about flashing it(am also total noob when comes about phones), its easy-peasy.

Is not Custom that one, is Global Stock.
Sorry I meant to say, why not just flash a custom ftf, or a stock 4.4.2, bypass the official way of updating

Yep, I agree with that, he should not wait for the Official one but just use Flashtool and flash the Latest or Custom FTF..
I want to downgrade my 4.4 to 4.3, I need help finding 4.3 firmware for US model. Is there a way to download them? sony PC companion only shows the latest version.
Thanks!
Download an older firmware ftf from general section nd then flash it using flashtool

Im in In the Southern part of Africa and at some point i was running a UK ftf and Netherlands too. What i was never sure of though was the labeling of network coverage. As in here it is LTE but the UK ftf i was using would say 4G. Anyway point is ftf from other country would work.
