Hi there!
I would like to update my xperia currently running on nougat, to oreo. Still locked bootloader and original 7.1.1 fw.
I have the latest flashtool, and used xperifirm to download the global oreo fw. Packed it with flashtool and tried to flash..
Sadly the first error came up, error root, this bundle is not valid..
After Prepare ftf for flashing, and connect phone, another error comes up, no loader.. And then it aborts flash..
How to flash? Is there any guide or thing I missed or forgot to do? My previous z3 was flashed the same way, and worked just fine..
Any screenshots?
No screenshots yet, I have to try again and make some shots.
if you have original, just wait for official update
I don't recommend updating to Oreo just yet. It has a few issues. If you REALLY wanna do it - just use the Xperia Companion app, open the software repair tab and the app will guide you through the process. From there just select the global 8.0. firmware. Ofc, back up your files cause it's a completely fresh install.

So here is my issue:
I have flashed a UK based .244 rom on my device awaiting the official push from t-mobile.
My dev: 6606 (tmo var) running UK based 224 rom
Tonight i receive notification that an update is available on my device.
Attempting to install reboots device and fails to install.
Updates states ver 10.3.1.a.0.244 which my device is already running (just a diff. region 6603 based rom)
Notification persist. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Should i rollback (factory) and install or is there a fix to install US patch or trick device into thinking update was completed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ty ^.^
performing factory reset now, hopefully i get update notif. and everything goes smoothly.
only thing i changed in old rom (uk .244) was build.prop device info to 6606 from 6603, for acurate sysinfo screen.
well it looks the factory reset didnt rollback to stock FW.
Looks like ill have to attempt a rollback via recovery or flash stock FW via recovery.
@ work now so well c.
Use pcc or sus to update.

Hi, I would like to post a request of solution to a problem faced by a number of Xperia Z series devices users out there. For the latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569) from SONY, the OTA update could not be installed despite being able to be downloaded successfully. The file size is 318MB for my ZL. Once completed the download the phone will reboot itself into its recovery and soon after a few seconds it reboots itself and give an undismissable notification of "could not install". As reconfirmed with other users, root does not seem to be the problem. No official comment was given and close to none from XDA. Could anyone please help with poor users affected by this issue?

I'm not sure, but I think it's the CWM or TWRP, perhaps it's the boot.img ... don't know.... To update to newest FW follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850

Am using stock recovery...….so don't think it is related to the recovery...
u said u did it ota so umm have u tried via pc companion to update ure phone ?
if youre not rooted may i suggest using pc companion or flashing the ftf via sony ericson flasher (sony rom ) required to update the phone
Beside you can also use EMMA, but think this will reset your phone to factory defaults.
For my phone it installed an older build (0.244) and then I was able to get the latest FW by OTA.

Hi all,
After rooting and installing CWM recovery I see that the Application Software version differs from the File System version - 9.2.A.0.295 vs 9.2.A.1.210. Is this normal? I have updated the phone through Sony PC Companion as the OTA was failing (had to lock the bootloader). Now I'm getting OTA notifications about the 1.210 version, which I already have. It's not a big deal, I can force stop it, but I am concerned about the version differences.
The phone is Xperia V.
I can share more details, if needed.
Found the issue - I was rooting the phone and installing CWM recovery. After installing the recovery, which included flashing custom kernel.elf in order to install the SuperSu app, and re-flashing the stock kernel.elf, the issue occurred again. Looks like the stock kernel.elf is not up to date, causing the system to think that there is a new FW version and popping up in OTA as a reminder to update. Case closed
Good morning all:
I am having a problem with my phone.
The history...
Bought a P9 EVA-L19 in Belgium and it came originally with version B127 (I think).
So, I decided to root it and so I used SRKTool to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root.
Problems started when I tried to update to a newer ROM.
It lost the original look and some functionalities, like the random imagens in lock screen and some original apps (FM Radio?)
In the meantime I managed to update to B137. The look was ugly but I managed to solve it using Nova Launcher.
Then the phone started giving me the message there was an update to B342 but everything fails.
I tried to reblock bootloader with SRKTool but it fails, I tried to download and install with dload method and fails.
So, I'm stuck with B137.
I even tried to debrand using this method: https://youtu.be/JZVsIKtdgV4
But after the first step "changing oeminfo and custom.bin" I even lost the keyboard so I gave up following the next steps.
So now my phone has a ROM EVA-L19900B137 and I can't find a way of updating to android 7.0 and I can't go back to the original ROM with all the functions.
Tha only thing I haven't tried is an Update using TWRP.
Is there a final release of 7.0 that can be flashed using TWRP?
Or even the original ROM?
(no, I know I am stupid but didn't made a backup before root and updates :crying: )
Thank you so much in, in advance, for your time.
I am not expert in these stuff but when I completely removed my system I installed a rom with different cust after that I got c900 then again I removed system and just installed the old cust "c185" and version b161 and then it worked like a charm even updates are working
your original dload method should be working. Just flash an original firmware with your original cust. This will lock your bootloader and turn your phone to original. You will even get the OTA updates.
After that if there is still no nougat update for your phone, there is 2 option. 1st one is check if there is an update that has the same cust number with your phone and apply it.
If not so, you can do a debranding procedure. Here is the link for it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
I managed to fix it.
Just in case someone has the same problem, I used the solutions/methods described on these threads:

Hi guys! I'm new to Android (only two weeks of using) and few days ago I updated my Sony Xperia X Performance to Android 8.0
Device seems to be working more slowly and bit lagging so I decided to make a downgrade if possible.
Which version of Android is best for Xperia X Performance ? Should I downgrade to 7 or 6 version of Android?
Where I can get a text/pictures/video guide how to downgrade from Android 8.0?
Thanks a lot! Any help is highly appreciated.
install flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php
install drivers.
Download firmware from xperifirm: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4309628&d=1508856592
create a ftf via same flashtool
than flash, load from flashtool ur ftf, off phone, press volume down, and plug usb
and wait
Just use the Xperia Companion app on your PC.
Open the app and go to "software repair" tab.
Once you go there the app will guide you through the process. You can even choose which firmware to install. Nougat seems to be working the best. The flashtool advice you already got, works, but it maybe too complicated for some users.
