5.1.1 Update News? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone hear anything about this? Z3 and Z2 owners are getting the update currently but I haven't seen Sony mention the Z3+ at all.

Downloaded PC Companion and checked for updates. Nothing...

I'm sure Sony is waiting this time with update for their latest flagship simply because they want first fix some of issues this phone suffer with like heating issue or bootloader issue when myXperia is on...so it will take longer time I guess

An update is around the corner.

We don't have any set date for it yet.
This is the release order for 5.1 as of yesterday.

Isn't the Z3+ classed as z3 series. As the blog states.

That's what I thought as well. I tried to confirm over on sonymobile forums but no one really acknowledged my question.

Any news about this yet? Somebody told me it has started to roll out in Asia. Is this true?

There is currently (recently uploaded I think, as I don't remember them on there the other day) a release for Italy Generic, Turkcell (Turkey) and Vietnam generic version 28.0.A.8.251 on Xperifirm. I'm currently downloading the Italian one but it is going slowly as it is on my work computer. It is apparently 2.03gb in size btw, will let you know the android version once its downloaded and installed.

Its still 5.0.2

The kernel seems to be new (Dated Aug 19).. Might change the kernel behaviour a bit.. Did you do a full wipe using Flashtool ?? I'm considering on flashing it but I don't want to lose my data.. Is it okay if I don't wipe all data ??
P/S: The last time I use Flashtool was when I was using my Xperia Z.. I'm forgetting how it works..

I didn't do a full wipe, I left data intact, but it should work just fine either way. Its working perfectly well, it seems slightly smoother but that might just be me and cpuz is now saying 3 cores are disabled as opposed to it saying 2 were disabled on the previous firmware (dont know if this is just cpuz tho). The dialler appears to be a slightly different design is all that I have come across so far. It appears to be getting rolled out to everyone too. Theres a lot more customisations that have it available today. Make sure you have the latest version of flashtool too. Install that, click on the xperifirm button and it will show you all the customisation versions available in there once you go to your phone version. Click the one you want to download. If you have it set to unpack the download once its finished, you just need to go to Tools -> Bundles -> Create and move everything over to the right in that (not sure if you can move the .ta ones, i didnt but dont know if thats ok in flashtool now). Once thats done, just click the flash button and it should walk you thru it. You will need USB debugging enabled and the usual drivers installed etc too

The update is being pushed out via PC companion everywhere it seems so no need for Xperifirmware if you are in one of the regions that has it pushed out(see Xperifirmware)

I'm on a Mac, is the Bridge For Mac basically the same thing? (In the UK too, not one of the regions mentioned ... guess I'll wait either way!)

It essentially does the same thing I think, yes. Haven't used it myself. UK ones aren't released as yet, but I would expect them to begin appearing over the next few days normally.

It does seem like my z3+ is more smooth after the upgrade. Of course that is a subjective thing but I'm pleased.

rogers xperia t ftf file needed

Hi all, im looking for anyone that can provide the xperia ftf file for rogers xperia t version.
I have tried to get it by repairing my phone but i get this error; sony update engine doesn't have software available for your phone.
So even if you dont have the ftf file and can share the blob file i can make the ftf file.
Thanks
Just want to add a not for new LT30a phone owners.
Do not flash or root your phone with a rogers branded xperia t (LT30A) with out backing it up by running the pc companion update first. If you do you wont be able to go to stock until we have a FTF file here to use with flashtool (rogers is checking build prop or something that stops the update).
Now I have already had 2 rogers xperia t's and can say with out question the roms here are not for our xperia T's. they will flash but you will get horrible battery life (my phone dies on my desk in 4 hours just sitting there not even using it with a full battery).
Also you will mess up the LTE network, if i connect on LTE my phone gets hot enough for me to put it down. you will also notice that our versions of the xperia T have an option in mobile network settings under network mode to use LTE (preferred)/wcdma/gsm. well if you open that option LTE is missing. It's there on stock roms.
All the issue's above happened on both my Xperia T's.
Stuck with a pretty paper weight for now.
Any ways just want to save someone else from the headaches I'm experiencing.
Means its not on Sony's servers. Had that happen for the at&t TL too. Had to wait a week or so till they got it on there.

What version of the FW do you have?
If you have the latest version you will not see any updates - you will also not be able to DL the latest version of the firmware through the PC companion software because there is nothing to DL. This leaves you without the ability to create a ftf for your phone - just like me. I bought mine late last week and although I am very pleased with the current state of the phone, I plan on purchasing my unlock code and moving forward with Rom installation etc. once my intial terror of creating a lovely coaster is overwith. I'm on MTS and will legitimately unlock then get flashing soon.

Not true. There is always a repair option that will download and install the latest version even if your phone had that latest version

here's what sucks, i had the uk generic .303 rom flashed and i can repair the phone with pc comanion. problem is it puts on the .195 o2 uk rom.
Hope it does not take to long to get the rogers ftf file here.

OK I followed this guide to create an FTF and got it created. Where can I upload it to?
http://mytechencounters.wordpress.c...eate-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
However, I don't know is the ftf .193 or .195? Does the "blob_fs" get created with the new update version .195 or does it generate a backup of my .193?
It will be the new version. You can upload to google drive easily enough. Just zip the file first.

Disable Lock Screen entirely.

So, rooted, boot unloaded, but running the latest firmware available on stock Xperia stuff, and one issue I've come across (Which was also present when going back to a previous firmware when doing root-exploit)
I can't disable my lock screen. I have to have one.
When I should be getting this.
Instead I get this.
When Googling answers, the most relevant result is someone asking how to go to AOSP lock screen rather than Xperia's. But I don't want that, I don't want a lock screen at all.
So, is there a way for me to cut it out entirely? Because it's not giving me the option to 'None'. I know you can go through and just delete/block specific system apps (The 'No xperia lock screen' thread suggested this), but that was for Xperia's. I don't know if it's dangerous to do for all of it.
Why is this missing? It exists going back to Xperia Z. Is my firmware faulty? Because it's in the list of firmwares (and the only one for me might I add)

2 out of 3 firmwares available. The old and new. It was pretty weird, but I suppose it doesn't matter now. I went with Cyanogen 12 since I managed to get some of the things fixed on it.
I'm wondering if it was due to a dirty flash. I havn't seen anyone complain about the firmware I used having any issues like it.
I didn't have it on the previous firmware I was on. D5833. I flashed a D5803 firmware and I have the option to disable it now.

Isn't doing something like that a bad idea? Doesn't the firmware have to match the model exactly?
5833 and 5803 were different models I thought.
Haven't noticed any difference yet to be honest. I've flashed roms for both variants and afaik there's no difference at all.

There is a comment on that picture by a facebook user saying "Samsung S6 Edge (SM-G925V) is not supported as it says in this post.".
To be fair theres no mention to whether this user tried Android 6.0.0 or 5.1.1 or whatever so it does not completely destroy all hope of Kingroot working, but it certaintly doesn't help

That was my comment! I decided to give it a try and see if it worked. I downloaded the APK version to my phone and it just gave me an error message. I haven't gotten the chance to try the desktop version yet as I only have a Macbook and my Windows PC is still at home. I had hoped if I commented on the Facebook page that someone from Kingroot would have gotten back to me. They didn't. I'll keep everyone in the loop if I make anymore headway on it.

Update to lastest ota before converting to stock

Hi, my blu arrived today and i'm already planing on converting to stock. I read that the ota ver 6.4 enables some LTE bands... i probably won't ever use them, but its an adition so... i want to know if i can flash 6.5 (this is the lastest right now) and then flash stock... im affraid i might flash the amazon ota and loose the ability to go back to stock.. is it safe?

Not exactly sure what your asking??
I don't think that you understand the process. Removing the ads means reflashing the entire phone, so any updates that were installed would no longer be there as the images used to reflash do not include any updates.
There was one update that only the amazon version got to make it harder to disable the ads. Both versions of the phone got a July security update pushed but this only works on completely unmodified phones.
The much awaited band 12 update has NOT been released.
Either your source of information is suspect or you are not yet understanding the information. Read carefully in THIS forum to learn what's going on with this phone.

The non prime has not yet received any OTA, only the Prime variant. Non prime still on June security
That's not true. My phone is converted to non-Prime edition and I WAS offered the July security updates. I could not install them because I have twrp, root, and xposed but I was told that an update was available for the non-amazon version. The amazon version of the phone has had TWO updates - the first one to stop turning off the ad server and the second one with the July security updates.

That is what I got after I tried applying the update, just to see what would happen - I knew it wouldn't work with root, twrp, etc. but hoped that I would be able to find the downloaded update file on the phone somewhere.

Your the only one reporting it, that I can find. But hey if they released it great. But the only downloads for OTAs I can find are for the prime. If anyone has an OTA for non prime that updates it from 1.2 please post a link. @ColtonDRG is thinking of merging the July security updates to OEM, but if it's already been released via OTA, someone let him know!! I'm not trying to argue with you, it's just people are getting confused and frustrated already with the different flash methods etc... Don't get me wrong, I would be super stoked if BLU actually supported the non subsidized non prime variant.

Thats just where i modified the build.prop to match model # OTA version check is still R0011UU for OTA updates, but earlier today, i completely reverted to oem stock with factory reset, still no OTA, my OCD made me do it, just to confirm OTAs lol, spent an hour restoring my phone afterwards
Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Well that's definitely good news, I wonder why I didn't pick it up earlier today, when i reverted to stock?? I'll roll back again and let it sit all day, hopefully I pick it up!! Maybe BLU is learning a thing or two about customer service!!

It is entirely possible that this FOTA program actually does know how to do gradual rollout like most other programs. I assume that's what's going on here.

Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

I understand. Does anyone know how to capture OTA URLs? If so, can you PLEASE look for the update and capture the URL before applying it?

Also, can someone who already has the update please send us their custom build number? Please?

No, as long as the system, boot image, and recovery aren't altered. Re-run the conversion to make sure if you have any doubts

Yeah I did earlier today, reran conversion via spft and reset/wipe to factory. Ran update check but nothing, so I rooted/installed TWRP and restored my current config. I'll reset and let it sit for a day or two, perhaps its a gradual rollout. Will do my best to grab URL

Anyone else not get Pie update on unlocked yet?

I'm reading everyone getting the pie update on the unlocked model but my device still has not got it yet. I'm on beta Pie right now.
Has anyone else not gotten the pie download yet on their unlocked device?
I'm unlocked and on the beta. Still no update here either
Got the update earlier today on my US unlocked Note 9
Yep. Beta hasn't gotten it yet.
Probably soon ish?

Someone on the other forum said if you roll back to Oreo and go on Samsung Switch you can download it. I'm NOT going to do that. Last time I rolled back it was a pain with my settings and other stuff all messed up. I guess I'll just wait and keep using Beta.

You could always use ODIN and one of the U1 packages floating around

Damn, you guys making me jealous! I may just wait for a little. I cannot locate the odin file that people are referring to being uploaded here...
Edit: nevermind, I found the odin file. Downloading it now.
OTA is out now. Just updated my U1 via OTA.
Anyone has Call recording ability on US N960U1?
I got the U1 Pie update yesterday morning! Now I feel better.
Thx to this thread I knew to check and updated last night after backing up, so far so good. Timing seems to have worked out well as GoodLock updated last week so settings working as before. Agree the power icons are cartoonish, looked much better before. Why would they waste time changing them? Have used Nova Launcher for years so appearance and other icons are the same. Only real difference is phone dialer, and I preferred the previous version but this one works for now. Battery life seems to be about the same so far but will know better by the end of the day. Leaving off charger last night dropped 4% in 6 hours so no real change.

I went with Odin.. I wrote to Samsung and their last response was just an automated reponce "try to check manually" for updates, not actually reading what I wrote.. I was still on December security, no issues or data loss jumping to February's 9.0 update..
**edit**
Just received the March ota update...
