23.4.A.0.546 for Z3+ UK - Already released? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I have noticed some devices are already getting OTA for 23.4.A.0.546, however I still don't : despite the release date being a few weeks back by now confused:
Is there a customized .ftf file for the UK someone could supply I could use to flash my device to the latest? Has this already been released? Since I am on mac, I have no access to xperifirm.
Thanks,
Seb

Are you sure that you are in the correct Forum ? I doubt you mean the Xperia Z4...

Sorry friend that firmware is only released for Xperia z3 and Xperia z2. Not for z3+

You are both absolutely right - I must have misread a blog post.
Nevertheless, strange what's taking Sony so long?

If I had to guess I'd say that Sony probably halted the certification process for the Z3+ in order to wait for their upcoming firmware version that will include the stagefright patch. Hopefully that will start rolling out this month...

Very good point. This seems to be top of th e agenda!

[Q] Sony Xperia T (LT30p) 4.1.2 Jelly Bean available for UK but can't update

Hello
According to Sony Mobile's UK website /gb/software/phones/xperia-t/ the update is available:
Latest available software: 9.1.A.0.489
Release date: 2013-02-07
I got my Sony Xperia T by phone upgrade when my contract was up for renewal through T-Mobile (UK). When I select 'check for updates' on that website or through Sony PC Companion, it says my phone is already up to date. I'm on 4.0.4, build number 7.0.A.3.195. The phone doesn't have any physical branding or installed software that appears to be related to T-Mobile so I'm unsure if it is classed as a 'branded' phone.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a 'problem' at Sony or T-Mobile?
Many thanks!

Please search before posting and post in the correct section. This is a question that wants an answer so should be in Q&A
However, in answer to your question.
Sony have released the first batch of the update. Non branded phones have started to receive this update which is staggered globally and will take between 2-3 weeks to role out around the globe.
Branded phones will take longer as sony release their update to the carriers who then tinker with the update and add their own bloatware to it. Branded update are generally 4-8 weeks later than their non branded counterparts depending entirely on your carrier and is nothing to do with sony

Do you know if your phone is sim-free? if it is sim-free I would assume its a non branded phone...and should be getting the update. If its locked to T-Mobile, then there is a chance it is considered a branded phone (even though there is no apps etc) and is dependant on T-Mobile releasing the update.
this is my assumption and please correct me if I am wrong
My phone isn't branded and still hasn't received the update (not appearing in Sony Flashtool)
The ftf is bring uploaded now, look in the general section

Xperia t 9.1.a.1.141 certified

Hi everyone,
I've just received my Xperia T (coming from an Xperia Play) and while looking around I checked ptcrb to see what was the latest version available. Turns out the 9.1.A.1.141 firmware got certified yesterday. I was wondering if anyone had already received the update or if owners of the TX that seems to already have this version on their phones could tell me the differences with the .140 version.
Thanks in advance and I'm happy to join the new community

That .141 is for the Xperia LT30a and maybe LT30at
LT30at = American versions from ATT Xperia TL
and the LT30a is like Xperia T but I think carrier defined Xperia T

Yeah, I realised afterwards that the .141 firmware for the TX isn't the exact same build number. Anyhow, there IS a new firmware that got certified yesterday for the LT30b (the Xperia T), we'll see what changes there are when it starts rolling out I suppose...

The. 141 update is just a bugfix update for the Lt30P AND the Lt30a.
Stops the phone crashing during calls und some other fixes.
It's not Just for the 30a!!!! In fact, it was thought of to go out to the 30p at first!

The certifications have nothing to say about what's coming for which phone!
They certify just in case.
Meanwhile there can be changes in plans where everything gets mixed up again!
Just wait a little. Can take up to 10 weeks before anything happens!

As of. I know it was an option to update to .141 but on June. 10, android will begin to.roll out android 4.3.
During that time Sony will work on a 4.2.2 update for the T, but don't get your hopes up that we'll get it.
It is an option though.
Going back to my earlier posts, that's what I meant with 10 weeks
It has to be worth updating. If there ain't no major fixes and changes, Sony just certifies but doesn't really bother rolling out the update bundles!

How would you know.? Xperia Z jellybean is to be released so after that we might get that update

4.2.2 update in UK??

When will the 4.2.2 update be released in the UK? Seems like it's been out for a while, yet my phone still hasn't found the update using either OTA or with PC Companion on my laptop.
We don't have the insight to say. Nobody has. And no crystal balls.
4.2.2 has been out for a few days only and is clearly rolling out across the piste.
Just wait patiently or use one of the other Generic ones if you're really that desperate. They're all basically the same apart from minor app differences.
I think Vodafone has released it someone on another forum updated his to 422 via Sony bridge on a Mac.
Never.... (joking)
Considering we were left out of the last few updates wouldn't surprise me if we are the last to get this one.
So I would guess a month

You have a UK unbranded device? Customisation number 1270-7689? Or some other UK device?
Not booting up my PC to find out if this is true or not, as other methods of checking are still showing 434 as the latest available for UK unbranded.
Edit: I see you edited your post. Yes, most are aware that Vodafone have updated

Mines was a VF UK handset upgrade - so branded to them. The phone itself didn't report any system/software upgrades, but as soon as I ran up PCC and plugged it in, PCC kicked off the upgrade.
Just use the Sony original Japanese update it doesn't change the language or anything and everything works out is the official Sony update and u just flash it with a flash tool no wipe of data or anything and u can easily root it with doomlords rooting method. It's a one click root.

Just change to a different generic customization. Some people seem to think that there is something special about UK firmware, but that isn't true at all (except that it seems to get updated last). All customizations contain the same baseband, kernel and core. The only difference is the bundled apps, build.prop and some overlays. I think 'Generic ES' is the best customization to change to. It contains all Sony apps (so you won't lose Video Unlimited or anything), of course it also contains all languages and it seems to get updates first.
Also, please stop asking when an update for a certain customization will be released. Nobody will be able to tell you, so it's completely useless to ask. There are ways enough to check the latest version for your customization. I have a list that I update daily or even multiple times a day, you can also create a browser bookmark to Sony's Firmware Update Server (see same thread) or you can use this web check: http://scavenger.ch/sonyupdate/.
Don't worry, it should come sometime this decade...we might even get the firmware update that everyone else has had for 2 months before 2017...wouldn't that be great?

Instead of waiting weeks/months/ages and complaining, just change to a different firmware customization like everyone else did. What are you scared of? There's always the possibility of changing back to 'Generic UK'.

That doesn't exist. In Japan, the Xperia Z was only available through the carrier NTT DoCoMo, which had a slightly different version with a different model number (SO-02E).
Check this list for the available customizations: [INFO] Latest firmware version per customization (region/branding). For the UK, I would recommend 'Generic ES'.

Downloading the 'Generic TW' FTF and flashing it with Flashtool, or changing your customization number in build.prop and updating with Sony PC Companion will give exactly the same result. 'Generic TW' is the only customization that has been updated for C6602. It also seems to get updates first each time. So I recommend to use that firmware.
I will sell my XZ and buy Galaxy S4 i think, its not about changing customization etc it shows how Sony treat UK customers...

Good luck with your (plastic) Galaxy S4 (with ugly *** TouchWiz) then. Hopefully Samsung will release updates faster to the UK
Do you really care so much about the 'Generic UK' customization? It's not like it contains any special features that can't be found in other customizations.

10.5.1.A.0.292 certified for ZR at PTCRB

A new version 10.5.1.A.0.292 has been certified at PTCRB on 7th November, 2014.
Going by the version number, it seems like a small, bug fixing update. Maybe you shouldn't expect a new set of features.
Let's see how much time it takes to strike our devices.
probably 2-3 weeks to release the bug fix update.
update center say that it is available now. But no ota. Update only via PC...
release has begun in some parts of the world for c5503 model. no reviews found yet
lets wait for our c5502
Maybe after some days the OTA update will become available, too.
Nothing for C5502 yet.
Sony is taking time to create their crap loaded fully bloated with unwanted app customize IN version for c5502 :laugh:

[Q] Firmware update, no OTA?

This is my first Sony phone ever (a love at first sight btw), so I wonder how to update its firmware. I saw in the news that a fresh OTA is available, but Update Center claims that my device is up to date already. The current build number of my Z3C is 23.0.A.2.93 - a pretty old version I think.
If that helps, my phone is a D5803, purchased new from a GSM shop with official Sony guarantee, unlocked by default. Oh and thanks for helping out a fresh Sony user..

If you don't find the OTA, then connect your phone to pc and update via Sony PC Companion.
Sent from my Compact Beast The Third.
the FOTA is still rolling out, if your update center doesn't list it yet then it will in a couple of days [it's based on your provider, not rolled worldwide at the same time]
ok I gave it a few days and I still see no OTA. I also installed the PC Companion app and it shows no updates are available.. which looks pretty much impossible for me based on the list of available firmwares and the fact that I'm on 23.0.A.2.93.
Or well.. is this normal?
it is possible that this firmware won't be released in your area as i've read on the sonymobile site that some firmwares are region specific, where are you located and have you checked your local sonymobile site for most recent software version for your phone to see if it matches the one you have currently?
I bought my new Z3C in an independent shop but with a Sony guarantee so I think it's probably an import one. How could I check which country it was coming from? It could help checking the latest software version for that region then..
You can check it by using XperiFirm
I didn't get an OTA. When I went into settings, about, software update it told me about the update and gave me a LINK on where to go to get the updater for my computer.
The updater worked OK on my mac but it sure wasn't as easy as an OTA.

Same story & build here. I don't bother. Don't like to fix what isn't broken. I'm only interested in the future upgrade to lollipop.
