PC companion is not showing me the 4.0.4 update!! It says my GB is up to date! And updating from the website itself is crashing my explorer!! Any ideas?
maybee in your region is your Phone up to date
maybee you can try the Sony Update Service http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ (because Companion works just the half of time proper )
or you try the Method to install an FTF with Flashtool (you found the instructions under "Sony Xperia SDevelopement" on this side
but the SI for my phone got released today :/ I dont get why its not showing me the update?
wait for a while... and try update Service and not Companion...
yes I will try thanks!
And when you get it read the guides on here and get the ftf file for us :-D
has anyone, who's SI number was listed, managed to update the official way (i.e not via flashtool)?
even the sony update service is not working!! I dont wana flash anything -.- Its asking me to repair software, but I guess that will only re-install Gingerbread!!

arunrv could you exactly tell me what you did to work the phone ?
because i have the same problem as you
I downloaded "update service" software from Sony website.
Download it and after installing, launch the software.
The software will guide you to how to connect your phone. (Initially don't connect your phone)
Software will take care of rest of the process.

Arun

Thanks it works but a little unstable. because first i tried 2-3 and it gave me an error on both ways (factory settings or just update) by the way i tried many diffrent ways then i tried again with se update service with factory settings and it worked.
I think the problem is root. this version doesnt love root and my phone was rooted. if anybodys phone has root first remove it then update urs phone.

Wotan server is good if you have rock solid internet.. if your internet always behave inconsistently you need ti use flashtool.

Good day
I experienced the same thing. My phone would automatically start into the Sony Ericsson white logo after inserting the battery in it. Just open PC Companion then go to support zone -> Update software. It can't pick up your phone then (Says no phone connected) then it gives u a dialog box where you can click 'Repair Phone'. Click and follow the steps
....
Lol
Repair it via pc companion, it will install the original software
Or
u can download sony update service
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/update-service/
Just plug in the tablet and choose repair or update something like that.. U know what to do

There is no REPAIR option in sony update service OR in pc companion.
Please help.

simply download the firmware and flash it using flashtool : "http://www.flashtool.net/download.php"
you can check at "Xperia Tablet Z Android Development" section for firmwares. dont forget to install the drivers of the tablet z

also what do i do with the bootloader key that the guy provided?
where do i put it in?
Click to expand...

After downloading the flashtool and after extracting it to a preferred location.. You'll find a folder inside it named "driver"., run it and checked the drivers for tablet z and flashtool... A firmware and a flashtool will do the job for you.. Plus a little bit of googling.. Hehehe

Hello Everyone,
i'm sure most of you guys are facing this weird PC Companion issue after downloading the new (23.0.1.A.0.167) FW, to make it short, here is what i get:
1- connecting my XZ2
2- New Software available (23.0.1.A.0.167)
3- Disconnect the device (PCC new feature)
4- Downloading .... etc
5- Connection XZ2 again
6- The mobile shuts down
7- Error "There is no software available for your device"
check the attached screenshot
so any possible fix for this?
Yeah, it happened to me as well and it's pissing me off.
Could it be low internal memory???

I download generic Russia, and flash it.
That Was Really Awfull
So I decrypted the files i got from the PC Companion and guess what i found...!!
the old version rom (.314) was the one included in the downloaded files, FU..K YOU SONY, you didn't even bother to check the files you are sending to us.
Seems that the same problem happens in several regions, as lots of talk i found when googling the problem.
And that explains everything, the PC Companion downloads whats on the server as the new 23.0.1.A.0.167, and when the mobile shuts down to the flash mode the error happens
Also some guy at the GENERAL forum posting the ROM twice, and they reply "its the old one", unbelievable ...

will this affect the Z2 by any means? will it change its region for example, will it delay the OTA in the future? if no then i'll be doing exactly as u did

I am wondering the same. I live in Sweden and got offered new firmware 23 (or whatever it is). So I've downloaded about 1gig of something and than when it turns off the phone, I get info about no software available.
When I check available firmware for Sweden, it has two version or two operators (not for the third one, which I happen to have) and both are version 17.xxx. WTF??? I guess PC Companion got too happy about availability of nw firmware somewhere in the world and realized, that there is no new FW for my region. ugh.
Same error here in France
23.0.1.A.0.167 sony pc companion update error "there is no update available for your device"
Same here on both my Z2 D6503 & Z2 tablet...
Same issue for me in Italy. I think I will flash the tft. Already wait a lot
I had deutschland unbranded 4.4.2 and I have been updated to 4.4.4 with PCC without issues. (I'm from Costa Rica)
same thing happened to me. but now I managed to update it successfully. just uninstall pc companion and download from their site and install again. redo the process of updating. hope it works in your case.
