I'm on 10.3.1.A.0.244 and got a firmware update msg from PC Companion. Wasn't that the latest one?
I'm updating right now, what could it be??? It said I won't loose my peronal data, so I guess it's a small one.
PS: My Xperia Z is C6602 HSPA
I'll keep you posted, PC Companion is downloading the update right now ...
[EDIT}
Update complete. While booting it said "Android is updating..."
Same Version 10.3.1.A.0.244 - What the heck???

Usually what happens is, you probably deleted some of the apps that came pre-installed but are not necessary components. When you run an update check, they will notice that some of those pre-installed apps are missing, and will prompt you to do an update. Post-update, you'll find some of those apps installed on your system again. The update you saw was probably anywhere between 5mb - 80mb.
Minor update. It happened in the past .

customization update if you've noticed it's only update the customization number and most probably fixed the bugs
I had something similar on an o2 branded handset recently, was to add in the 4G toggle since the UK networks have started using 4G now.
yeah, me too :good:
was this thread really necessary?
I also had this om the same ver as you lol, I ignored it

I am glad the poster started this thread as I also had an update soon after flashing generic firmware over the O2 branded one that came with my phone, and wondered how come.
On the info offered in this thread I went ahead and installed it.
I can confirm this update added the 4g option in mobile networks.
Indeed a minor update in which data and root remain intact (no need to back-up/re-root ).

Changes the pre-installed apps package, takes like 10 minutes to do it, so it's worth it. If you have root then don't update, up to you, you can always re-root through the guides on here.

File Commander and G+ Photos is all mine updated to but I'm on an o2 software variant, which is essentially UK unbranded with o2 apps.

In the process of updating this via pc companion but it's been stuck on number 3 (updating) for about 5mins now with the download bar nowhere to have even started, is that normal?
EDIT: all good now sorry! Took a while for it to appear halfway on the download bar now, phew.. Took about 10 mins for it to show!
It's completely normal, it tends to take a while, leave it running and it should be fine!

Only Sony and/or your provider can confirm that, but even then it would be nice if you could tell us what version are you on now? You don't even tell us that so how are we meant to help you......
Oh sorry! Haha I'm on 4.2.2 at the moment. When do you think the UK will get a 4.3/4.4 update

Why don't you just use Flashtool to get it to your phone using one of the available ftf's ?
Here is a video on how to do that:
No I don't want to void my warranty by rooting. I am just wondering when I might get the update. Thanks anyways for your helps

Flashing with flashtool don't need root acces and it can't be detected.
You have to read before ask,you will have a reponse faster.
Read that ,if your Z1 is not on the list wait a week or two or flash with Flashtool
I would update through the PC companion. Many people seem to have encountered problems flashing with flashtool on this update. It was taking forever for the ota for me as well

When the Z1 first announcement it come with 4.2.2 already. So if he ask for 4.3 or 4.4 that meant he on 4.2.2 already.
reminder, there is no UK generic unbranded FTFs yet...

Whether you use UK generic or any other generic one does not make a difference whatsoever, but it's up to you.
I have never encountered any problems when using Flashtool. Just make sure to use the most recent version.
The 4.3 is avaliable so if you use OTA or SEUS you get it.
As for rooting, it doesnt avoid your warranty unless you remove the root and install a clean version when you deliver the device for repair or replace it.
Only thing that avoid the warranty is unlocking the bootloader.
Keep your .257 rooted version and wait for a rooted locked version for 4.3.
Btw there will come a hotfix version in January (newer 4.3) for Z1.
4.4 will come April/May i think...

Not that I'm aware of, most ppl seem to be using supersu survival mode and putting supersu as system app then only updating through OTA to retain root. More details in tablet z general section forum

But I believe its Up volume not down volume,
You could also use flashtool to reflash an older android version for your model/region that can be rooted then OTA to more recent version to try and retain root

Use this link to check if the update is available:
http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/index.php
Simply enter your customization number and you'll see it
If you really do have an unbranded UK phone, then the reason you're not receiving the update is the fact that it isn't released yet.
http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/?model=C6603&id=1270-7689
That is the direct link to check the latest software available for Generic UK phones.

so you are saying the no one at the UK received the kitkat update even through UK at eroupe and they had already started before 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Also, the update was only released just over a week ago. Have some patience or flash an FTF if you're that desperate for it.

Mostly performance tweaks.check the support page for changelog.users report smoother experience and removal of the flickering issue. Well mine was working fine so i didnt notice much change.
