Has anybody else had problems upgrading to version 5.1.1? I'm using stock Australia Telstra 5.02. Yesterday I received OTA notice of the 5.1.1 upgrade and chose to install. The update failed and phone was stuck in flash mode with a notice saying update failed, connect to PC..
I tried restoring firmware via PC Companion, which failed as it couldn't download the firmware for some reason. Instead I flashed back the 5.02 firmware with Sony Flashtool, which worked ok.
I then tried to install the generic Australia 5.11 using Flashtool. This resulted in the same error as the OTA update, forcing me to once again revert back to flashing 5.02.
Hence, as 2 different 5.11 firmwares failed I wonder if there is something else going on than just a coincidental fail. Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening or any way to troubleshoot?
I can't install either, stock T-mobile Z1

Have you tried downloading FTF through XperiFirm. Is your flashtool using latest version 0.9.19.8(or at least 0.9.18.6)? Cause i had issues with flashing ftf's through flashtool then just reinstalled updated version of flashtool and all my problems were gone.
Not 100% sure it this has something to do with the phone having root access. I, for one have experienced the same if I root my phone. But flashing a stock firmware and proceeding with the OTA it works fine. I experienced this when 4.4.4 was newly released. Same exact experience when 5.0.2 initial release, and and 5.0.2 pre-5.1.1 release came out.
No root for me. Stock standard, tried both the OTA and flash tool ftf versions, using latest flash tool version.

I just have a quick question about the firmware on my SP (C5302, Bought through Cincinnati Bell and it is carrier locked). I keep seeing things on here about the latest firmware for root and roms etc, so I check mine and its still on 12.0.A.1.257. I have checked via ota and pc companion and it says I am up to date. I have heard the later firmware fixed the weak wifi signal and a few other things. Am I able to use the new firmware or am I stuck on the older one?
If i am able to use the latest firmware what would be the best way to switch to it?.
Thanks in advance

I encounter this error when trying to update to latest firmware for my Z1. I have a locked bootloader.
I already tried restarting my PC, re-installing PC companion, but to no avail. Please help!
P.S. PC companion is actually finished downloading the update and it is now at the point where I believe it should update the phone.
same problem here in Indonesian region

I think you should wait for the ftf file and flashed it through flashtool.

I just got a used Sony Xperia Z3C from Japan (Docomo SO-02G). I tried to convert it into D5803 with UK customized firmware by following instruction from an old YouTube video but I failed and bricked the device. Luckily, someone else repeated the procedure again and successfully installed the same firmware in the handset. It’s running okay with exception to few bugs but there’s a problem.

I directly downloaded the file from an old tutorial and it was 5.1.1 Lollipop where Z3C can be upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow. Now I’m afraid if I attempt an OTA upgrade, it’ll either end up installing SO-02G (Docomo Japan) latest OS or brick the device once again. Some people say that I should go for update and it will only upgrade it to Marshmallow for D5803 since it’s already running Lollipop for the same version. Others say I’ll have to find a latest firmware for D5803 and start the procedure all over again.
If I must install another firmware, which one should I choose? Is Global Generic version a better option? I’m from Pakistan where Z3C was never officially launched, so I can take advantage of not having country/region specific apps which are normally loaded in non-global models. Look at the size; 1.05GB vs. 1.59 GB.
And last but not least, how do I know the firmware file I create using Sony FlashTool is of the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0 for Z3C?
I’d prefer a stable stock OS as I am a normal phone user, not a developer, hacker or a gamer. I think after upgrading to Marshmallow, there won’t be any major system update.
I guess images gone missing because system doesn't allow new members to include urls :/
<<<PLEASE>>> I need help. "Nand writer start" and does nothing else
Hello everyone, I have a problem, if you can help me, I want to put the rom stock of android 8 but when I put the 4 odin files it stays in "Nand writer start" and does nothing else. I have flashed many phones but never I had this problem. The mobile is not rooted or anything strange, it has the factory Android 9 ROM.
I have tried odin 3.09,3.10 and 3.10.7 and the problem persists.
What can happen?? :crying::crying:

I'm assuming you're trying to downgrade to a version with a lower bootloader version/number, which you can't do
You can only downgrade to the version with the same bootloader number.
So I can't downgrade to the android version 8?
did you tried with another tool?

Yes. I tried with odin 3.09,3.10 ,3.10.7, 3.13 and another ROMs the sammobile :crying:
The bootloader is locked in Pie after each OS update to prevent us from downgrading the OS on our devices.
Could this be the solution?

read up all about downgrading bootloaders( its not possible). check what your phone currently has then check what youre flashing. the 5th character (number) starting from the right when checking firmware build is the BL revision.
u can flash an equal or greater build. not a lower one.
also only 3.11.x and 3.13.x and future odin versions work on note 9 to flash firmware files.
in the picture u posted, your issue is the odin build.( ure using and old 3.09.x build)
while rooting might alow you to flash a custom rom(oem unlock is the 1 step to rooting) that is oreo based, not sure why one would want to do this. Q is just around the corner and keeping devices up to date now a days should be paramount.
Thank you very much.
I tried this to unlock the OEM and it forces you to format the smartphone completely, it doesn't work.
