Z1 not updating

Hi!
My Z1 firmware is 14.1.G.1.518, and i saw in the sony's website from my region(Portugal) that there is a newer version, the 14.1.G.1.534.
But when i connect the mobile through PC companion or Update service it says that i'm already with lastest update. Anyone knows a reason why this is happening? :|

because they do not release all updates at once, just wait until it hits your region

[Q] How to fully restore Xperia Z1

Hi,
Im trying to restore Xperia Z1 original firmware (that can get updates from Sony) and I cant seem to succeed...
I have used flashtool but the software is just not right:
I can't use Wi-Fi, the sim is not working anymore (Im from Israel), everytime the phone get shut down - it asks me in what language do I want to use...
`I have tried using PC companion (Repair) also` but it tells me that my phone doesnt have an update.
I dont know what to do anymore
any advice?

Just download a rom for your model z1 and use, 'Flashtool' to flash the image.

I did that.
The IMEI is gone. Nothing seems to work ...

its probably because the flash version is not compatible with the baseband. Try flashing an older version (for eg. .108 version : u can get it from mega ftf thread in general section) and then after the flash, pc companion should detect and install the latest update.

[Q] Update Help

So today i got a new unopened xperia Z from a friend for free
So i went on connecting to my WIFI it shows that the device needs to updated to frimware 10.31.A.2.67
(which i later learned that it was a update released in 2013).But i didnt update.
My phone is in frimware 10.1.A.1.434 which i guess is an old frimware.

You can install SONY PC companionon your PC and use that to update your phone.
If that still doesnot help, you can use flashtool which is unofficial way to upgrade/downgrade your phone.
You would need FTF from general section and also flashtool which you can get from here. Make sure the FTF is device specific or your would end up bricking up your phone

You can search xda for how to use it. If you still have questions, quote me and I would be glad to help

Can I use Xperia Companion to Install UK Firmware?

I swear that when I first got this phone i used the Xperia Companion tool to select the UK firmware to Install it to the device? Everything i see now points to using the Flashtool.
Am I crazy? did i use the flash tool and just don't remember?

I'm pretty sure you can't use Companion for changing region (not sure if it was even available earlier), so you need to go with flashtool or newflasher.

I believe Xperia Companion can be used to reinstall the current firmware you have on your phone, regardless of whether it was the original firmware the phone was sold with.
