I bought a xperia Z. its shows an update on the phone but i just cant install it...it fails everytime. and even if i try to do it via pc companion. it says that the phone is running a modified firmware that cannot be updated.. So please if anyone can guide me on this..i just want pure stock from where i can install ota whenever it shows up. thanks.
Hi there Sir, try downloading the ftf of the firmware you want and then flash it through the use of a flashtool Sir
Yea, use flashtool to flash to any stock rom ftf, rmb to change the country in sony companion to your country so that you get the correct updates off your countries' telco
Thanks a lot guys.

Hi! I've been trying to download the OTA update on my phone but it stays on:
"Checking for available update.
Please wait..."
Anyone knows why? My phone is rooted by the way and bootloder is unlocked. Please help.
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When the device is rooted and is running stock ROM, the OTA updates are not working properly on most devices. For example, in my Galaxy Y, when I tried to install a new firmware it stopped during the installation and rebooted on the old firmware. Then it displayed the known s*** like "The installation was not succesfull. Please try installing the firmware using Kies".
Otherwise, if your device is running a Custom ROM, you can update to the newest version without a problem.

Ok. Thanks for answering. What if I unroot the device? Is it possible the update works if I unroot the device?
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you unroot your device, you will be able to install a new firmware on it. Are you using stock or custom ROM?

OK then. The solution is on the post 5. Unroot the device, install the new firmware and you can root the phone again if you want.

I think that app should be patched directly on device you want to install it. Or maybe you had installed "normal application" on xsp first, didn't work, patched and tried to update? I had a problem with gta:sa where obb files blocked me from installing patched app. Deleted it and it worked just fine.

There are threads in dev section. I think custom fw is worth trying as well. Even better than stock. I didn't want to dabrand my phone when i got it and later go away from stock rom, but now i'm sure cfw are being done to be greater than stock. There you can find detailed instructions

When facing with this problems, it is recommenddd to immediately flash stock firmware upon shutdown of device. Use flashtool and flash ur device's stock firmware to your device quickly

Which Williams kernel? Cm ones cannot be used on existenz
Sent with the XDA Premium Application for the XPERIA SP running CM11s
I 100% guarantee it was the stock based kernel. Anyways, as it is still early in the morning here, I am just gonna write down some steps here. 1. Flash CWM for locked bootloader
2. Restore previous backup
3.See if it works?
4. Factory reset if it works
5. See if bootloader unlock allowed changed from yes to no and if yes unlock bootloader
6. Flash existenzultra
