Hey everyone,
Was just wondering if Australia has got this update yet?
Today I thought I might check if it has came yet so I opened up SEUS and checked for updates...
I box did come up and said 2.1 update is here blah blah blah, do you want to install it?
I thought it might brick my phone if I try update it on top of my Rooted x10 so I did i clean factory reset and tried updating it through SEUS again but it doesnt come up anymore?
My phone keeps saying my software is up to date and so does PC Companion and SEUS. ( Phone firmware is still on 1.6 on phone)
I uninstalled SEUS and tried again but same outcome...
Does anyone know why it wont show up when my phone isnt rooted and does when rooted?
Is it even out in Australia yet?
Answers would be very appreciated,
Thank you, Chad.
It shouldnt brick, you need to have your phone rooted, and then to change your region code, Global Generic code works fine.
It shows up with an update for me, but it doesnt actually start downloading :/
How do you change your Region code?
Is there a link you can give me mate, or some information?
yea mate, just look at the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
you could also use as an alternative the global generic code instead of the norwegian code thats put in that thread which is 1232-9897
It appears someone here in Aus has already received the update.
Either that or they aren't the brightest and flashed their X10 and still believe their device is somehow evident of an Optus release...

Downloaded it, installed and all working great...
Except for instead of displaying 3g, It displays "H" now?

If you're referring to the network settings which the phone lists as available, the only operators listed are Optus and Virgin.
Other than that I haven't noticed any other operator specific logos/settings.

I just checked through PC Companion and it's still telling me that my phone has the latest software. I checked OTA as well with the same result. I'm going to check using SEUS and see if what that tells me.
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Edmonton and nothing yet for me.
Ya same here nothing im in ottawa
Just checked using SEUS and still nothing.
I saw on the Android forum that a couple people in Ottawa got the notification but it doesn't seem to be consistent as other people in the thread said that they weren't getting despite them being from Ottawa as well.
I'm curious if anyone has found a way for those of us with an x10a running x10i firmware to easily trick SEUS into updating for the x10a. I'm currently running the Nordic 2.1 and would love witch to Rogers 2.1 once it's released....anyone have any ideas?
I do recall something about the updates being "staggered" to minimize the load on the servers.

there are several posts on how to " trick " it into taking the update so just wait a bit, someone will post the firmware with the flash tool, same one you used for nordic and you will be all set.
All of the posts I've read indicate we shouldn't mix x10i and x10a codes as SEUS would either not work or ignore the phone. Unless I missed something?

If I understand the posts correctly they are much like the Nokia product or region codes.. with said codes it will tell the server where you are located. So its like a address of sorts.. the server checks the phones and says Oh Hello! You are in Canada here ya go.. or Hallo! Sie sind in Deutschland .. as I said someone will surely post a how to guide. if you mix the codes you will have a phone with firmware from another country well that is my take on it.

Then do us a favor and update the FW from your PC companion/SEUS folder.
somebody will decrypt it.
I just talked to a Rogers technical support representative and was told that the update has been released, but Sony, as usual, did not prepare for the immense traffic and the link to the download is up and down. I was told that we should be able to update later today, but that the only way to check for the update is through PC Companion - it will NOT appear as an OTA notification on the phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm with Tux. I'll wait for some other helpful Rogers user to post the firmware, and then I'll look into flashing to that.
Haven't had any problems with my X10a running Nordic firmware (other than taking longer to get started with market downloads), so I'm not in a huge rush. It would be nice to have proper X10a firmware though.

Changed my build. Prop and fired up pc comp, gives me a server error....

Well one of us is misunderstanding at this point. I'm not home at the moment and don't have time to link, but the thread in here somewhere states very clearly not to use an x10a CDA if you have an x10i phone as SEUS will not detect the phone. I guess I'll just wait I guess.

That was for 1.6 fw
For 2.1fw Binary (or was Jerpelea) wrote that is ok to use it as SE probably unified the basebands.
Problem is, my 2.1 is crashing about 5 times (or more) daily.

Using the CDA trick works. I have the global X10i firmware on my X10a and changed it's CDA to the generic Brazil one and it gave me the option to repair to the X10a 2.1 generic brazil firmware. I am assuming that the same can be done with the Rogers CDA once it fully goes live.
I didn't do it as I am happy with the global one....no issues.
Just to clarify, I actually work for a particular company that is involved in this, and we were notified that the update was to begin rolling out today.
Cheers, Brett

Same , generic UK, must be some slight difference in the hardware/software?
Thats interesting, but WTF with Sony ???
I had the same issue on the nordic 2.1 firm. Right now i´m on spain generic 2.1 but all the capture screen apps are still wrong.
Why it works on UK firm ?? I assume your phone model it´s the same as mine...
+1 with the same problem.
E10i with 2.0.A.0.504
Done a bit more testing, with drocap2 the image is ok but with shootme the image is fuzzy. It looks like it is a sofware problem.
But it also has to be something else, as on nordic and spain firmwares dropcap doesn´t work properly.
EDIT: Have to do a restore a couple days ago after disabling JIT. I´ve tried again the app and i can confirm that is working on Iberia 2.1 generic firmware.
got my x10mini from hong kong (cheapest i could find ), updated firmware to 2.1 via seus. only drocap2 (drocap for root users) worked on it (tried shootme and screenshot it).
then i updated the firmware again around dec 21, 2010 (that doesn't allow root - yet). so i downgraded back to uk version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664).
now nothing works.. anyone has 2.1 hong kong (or asia, i don't know what it's called) firmware? drocap2 should work on it.
Drocap2 also works in greek firmware, though anything else doesn't.
Great, I didn't have any luck so far with any screenshot program, I had the same program, Drocap2 fixed that for me, thanks alot for the tips

As per the Xperia S Facebook page, it seems like another new firmware version is rolling out. 6.0.A.3.73 firmware rolling out on Xperia S.
Does anyone know what this version is about? What all fixes and changes have been introduced.
Also, I am still stuck with ver 6.0.A.3.62. PC Companion still shows that I have latest version of firmware and no updates are available.
I am based in US and have an unlocked Singapore version of the phone. So does that mean I will not be getting this new firmware update as well? Since I didnot receive ver 67 either.
One way to manually get the updates would be to flash with the updated ROM. (As mentioned in a previous thread regarding ver 67 update)
Although I could try that, I dont want to try the same with my phone just yet . I thought Sony would be providing a proper user friendly way to get the firmware updates installed.
Any comments or suggestions??
Flash tool is way more user friendly than SEUS. These updates are per market and unless they feel that Singapore needs an update, you won'e get it. Keep in mind that most of these firmware carry few bloatwares which differ in each market. For each update they have to stick those into the ROM and that takes time.
If you need the latest, there are two ways:
1) Flash the latest provided file from here via Flashtool
2) What you have is the latest for your phone/market,
I moved from .62 to .67 - I can tell you that I have not experienced any differences and I am more optimistic to see signs of ICS. Hopeful not too far from here.
Good Luck
I have an unbranded Singapore set (customization version 1257_6921) and don't have the update either. So far, it seems like the .73 update is rolled out to Singtel-branded sets (customization version 1257-9049).

In any case, the update is rolling out for SG generic (customization version 1257_6921). I'm updating now.
maybe someone can upload ftf file for the new firmware?
For those who don't see the update .67
PC Companion told my device was up to date too. But in order to update it to .67 I did the following: settings->applications->turn on "Usb debugging"
Connect device and start PC Companion, and then it saw the update.
Hope this helps

I don't mind, but don't know how to go about doing so. I checked out the tutorial found here but seems it's outdated, because the FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Service \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder are dated 2011. And I can't find any FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony folder.
Edit: Ok, found the files under ProgramData \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Engine \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder. Will try to use Flashtool to create FTF and upload.

Dude, i dont why you didnt get the firmware update. but i just connected my Xperia S to PC Companion and i got the message of firmware update. I ran the update and i am now on the latest build firmware .73
I am in US.
So for various reasons I won't go into I'm not able to flash Marshmallow in flashtool. I'm also unsure about the carrier status of the Lollipop firmware I flashed to return to stock, and therefore unsure about OTA status.
If you're in the UK, have you received the OTA? Also, what carrier are you on?
Thanks
I am on three, and have not gotten the update yet.
I noticed when checking for updates to my phone (customized UK) last week there was a 26.3.A.0.131 marshmallow update for EE phones but when i checked last night the EE update had changed back to the previous 26.1.A.3.111 lollipop release

Yeah, I have an EE phone. Got upgraded to 6.0 (via PC Companion, not OTA). Mic stopped working properly (people who called me couldn't hear me speaking) and the 5GHz radio disappeared (only found 2.4GHz networks) so I did a repair using Xperia Companion and it dropped the phone back to 5.0. I guess the release was a bit premature...
I've only got a notification on my phone that i need to connect it via PC Companion and there was a new update to install
I'm on Tesco Mobile (O2 Network) and I didn't receive the update via OTA so I flashed EE 6.0.1 using FlashTool (XperiFirm). Works great and you can uninstall all the pre-bundled EE apps!

A customised UK ftf will work in Greece and vice versa a customised UK ftf would work anywhere as long as it's for the correct model Xperia. Only real difference is the pre installed apps and some say 4g instead of lte when on a data connection.

1) Were you r00ted prior to the update?
So my other question is this to all M4 owners, anyone r00t 6.0 yet, or should I wait a bit longer for a r00t solution?
I really hate the bloat/crap/push/garbage that SONY crams into the phone.

My charge port broke last month.I sent it back to sony for repair running lollipop on Vodafone and it arrived back to me with marshmallow!!
Blow me, the port broke again in a week. Decided to take it to the shop this time. Collected it today (they couldn't fix it) and I'll be blowed, I get given a brand new carrier free m4 back on lollyflop.
Whas going on.....mustn't grumble but I've lost me marshmallows
Was running smoooothly too. Zero issues
Okay so I don't know if many of you will see this, but I've started a petition to fix this Marshmallow update permanently. I seriously can't believe the poor choices Sony make with their phones. This Marshmallow update was rushed in the end, and this phone has the potential to be better. Heating issue is kind of resolved, it doesn't heat up as it used to, but there is still a problem with the animations. Stamina mode is really bad, and no adoptable storage. If you want to make a change, then please sign the petition right here: https://www.change.org/p/sony-marshm...xperia-m4-aqua
