Yes having the pc companion or sus should detect that there is an update available

Just get Flashtool and ftf and do it manually. I would suggest you CE1 ROM. See link bellow for instruction.

That's weird - I am on 4.1.2 (254) and there is a constant nag in the notification screen of my sony telling me about new update 266
{in fact that was how I updated my device to 4.3 when I got my device new - ignorantly pressing on the notification in my device...}

I know I thought it might take a little time to come through but it still hasn't shown up
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

ive tried to contact sony and after 2 days waiting for a reply they said try the pc companion tool to do the update, but i already told them i had tried that in the first email so i replied stating that the it does work and its now been 3 day and no response from them

Hey guys has anyone had an idea how to fix this with out having to wipe it as it's still on 4.1.2?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

well the 4.3 update finally came today so i guess to answer my own question the answer is wait 4 months lol

SOC1.9.5. Like Noejn said I also didn't noticed any difference. The only thing I see since v10b is LG making new versions just to make most people happy with new releases nothing more.

First and most important thing is to do Factory Reset via Hidden Menu 3845#*970#. This will un-root your phone and clear all data. Then do a firmware upgrade and after that again Factory Reset. This is the safest method.

The factory reset doesn't un-root the phone. The "called" root moves both superuser.apk and su binary to the respective folders so if you do a factory reset they will not be deleted.. To un-root you need to do it with the application you used to root the phone or flash firmware.

May i Suggest to flash one of the Awesome rom´s our dev´s Cooked based on ICS Stock?
So you don´t have to wait for LG UK and can just say F**k you to them.
I also realy think you get much much much more technical help with our great cooked rom´s than LG could ever give you.

I suggest the same, when I first installed stock LG ICS, phone was lagging badly and almost instantly I've downgraded to GB. As soon as modified stock roms came out I gave them a try and I can only say that i feel like I have a new phone, it's performing as never before...
Any ICS in the UK yet?
Na not yet mate. Still on v20g, I heard v20l was released the other day for the uk. Gonna try the update tool when I get home later.

Have got a ota for v20i and I think this is the update needed to go to ICS via the PC ? Will try later.
Still no update in the UK, TWO years after ICS release!

Anyone in the UK having problems updating to ICS?
instead of going the long lazy way why don`t you use the AIO toolkit for p990. then download the ics kdz file. the thing is pretty self explanatory and easy

The .434 update was released a couple weeks ago, I guess there are different release schedules for every country.
I had my XZ rooted with the locked bootloader method ( goroh_kun's ), and ota updates does not work.
Updated through Sony Bridge for Mac, it works, but the root access was lost. Re rooted it with the same method and it works
Seriously? I still have nothing even on PC companion. I'm on unbranded but use an O2 sim.

Same here, and Three don't even have any forums to ask how long updates should be taking, it's been three weeks now and absolutely nothing.
I knew Sony would be slow with updates but didn't realise I would then have to wait for Three to push it through! Will probably have to wait at least six months to get the 4.2.2 update! lol
Extremely bad customer service from Three so will be leaving them when my contract is up, can't even use Google to search for any helpful information as a company called 'Three' brings up almost every query regardless of network operator :silly:

Well, I haven't had the update and I will probably never get it! In a German forum someone contacted the customer care of my provider (t-mobile Germany) and was told by the tech-support that t-mobile will not roll out the .434 as their techs thought that it would harm the phone more than it actually helped. So they're waiting for the next update...
Dunno if it's true, but I could imagine that it is, as every provider releases their updates differently, so they might skip one as well...
you might wanna check if they do?

**Great...I kept ignoring it and rebooted my phone and now can't get it to pop back up. Keep checking but nothing yet. Maybe someone else will have some luck however I don't think this OTA is anything special. Maybe even just some PRL updates or something.**
Im in SC, and have tried clearing google services and multiple restarts and no sign of an OTA
Im up in ny, and I still have no update. I hope it's not an update to patch the root exploit.
Not OTA, but there is this page with the Sprint PH-720 about halfway down.

I've spoken to Samsung and Sprint about this today and something tells me this update was pulled.

LG G Flex 4.4

So rumor has it right now that theres an update coming out for the G Flex next month in April that is supposed to include 4.4 and also knock code. Do you guys think that this is an update everyone should do? Or is it going to make it even harder for people trying to unlock the bootloader if we update?

I'm pretty sure the current root method won't work once the Flex is updated to KitKat. I know with the G2 a developer was able to make a stock KitKat Rom with Root quickly. Not sure the Flex will be so lucky since the Flex seems more locked down then the G2. I was a flash whore but I'm cool with stock for now.

Sprint is usually quick with updates so hopefully they push it out real soon
Gonna be awhile I'd imagine for US due to most of the carriers taking their good Ole time pushing them through. Just bought mine today and has 4.2.2, lol! I had 4.3 on my note 2. I wish I had a time machine like that, haha!

For those of us that are rooted how will we get the ota update? Will it come to use and we can just do the update and still keep the root or do we have to unroot in order to update?

there haven't been any updates on the flex, so no one knows if you can do it or not..
the cardinal rule has always been NEVER do an OTA update if you are rooted..

according to all the internet rumor mills/sources, its coming sometime in the next 30 days.
since each carrier has their own "version" that they push, it could be alot sooner or alot later, depending on your carrier..
