Got root/unlocked bootloader?
is it safe for rooted/unlocked bootloader device?
i got this update a few weeks ago, would it have anything to do with my phone being generic and not tied to single network

No I don't recommend updating your device if your bootloader is unlocked. I did it with my phone and my phone ended in a semi brick

I'm on Rogers in Canada and haven't gotten an update yet - checked this morning. My phone's currently running build 181.
The SE page also says theres no update. Maybe it was just a Radio-carrier update

thats becuase your firmware is 2.3.2 not 2.3.3
you got the point update weve had since release.
gingerbrick does not work on 2.3.3 fact!
ok i see but it's not a problem for me i used root only to move apps. now that i know adb command ... the other stuff i don't need them seriously.
I do prefer getting update than having root that i use once a year

I'm not sure but i thought that the yellow tint is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with software whatsoever.
PS: i'm from Belgium too, installed the CH version and no problems here.

I don't think someone will ever notice that you didn't install the official over the air update you were supposed to get.
And also, it's not like you unlocked the phone and installed a custom rom. It's still an official Sony rom.
I don't see any obvious reason why a repair center would check your firmware version. After all it's a known issue and the solution to the problem is there.
And no, i don't have a backup image or so of my stock firmware.
There was a post here on xda with all GB tft files and there was a Belgium one.
Just search for that post, I can't seem to find it anymore tho

I don't think the shop where i bought it (Phonehouse) will bother it but maybe when it comes to Sony they will see it and won't replace it?

I returned my phone last week (also in Belgium) and to be sure I re-flashed my phone to stock.
I recommend doing it to.

I'm quite sure they won't bother
I think of it like this, your phone arrives at the repair center. The person who has to repair it reads what is wrong with it. He then says: "Ah, i see, the yellow tint issue. Time to get to work, but not without checking the software version first".
It's a very unlikely scenario if you ask me. He's just going to fix the screen, check if it still works completely and maybe do some additional tests in the service menu or so.
But you could indeed just do what Hitmax117 mentioned, just to be sure.

Hi, recently I have purchased Xperia U. I try to find out is there any ics update available for my zone or not. So I connect my phone with pc through the provided software with phone and after successful connection it shows ics update waiting for my set. I thought I will try OTA update instead of through pc. I checked my phone setting -> update software and found that my set is already up-to-date I.e GB. I am really confused. This type thing did not happen with me before for my HTC set. Someone pl. Help. Thanks in advance.

Just try updating through the sont software?
If that doesn't work you can always try flashing an FTF file with latest update for Xperia U
Goodluck!
Update from GB to ICS through OTA is not available, you have to update via PC

Bro, this is because the ICS is still not ready for your region.
The only way is to flash ics ftf file via flashtool.

as a proud new owner of a optimus l9 (purchased through vodacom) I thought that I had made the most economically viable decision in picking the L9 over the plethora of other options available. the scheduled jellybean update and the handset's good specs are what really sealed the deal for me and I'm disappointed in the fact that I still haven't the scheduled jelly bean update whatsoever... the official kdz file for the south African firmware has been posted on: lg-phone-firmware com. I'm truly getting frustrated by not having the latest software whereas I know it's out there and many are already using it... was unable to flash it using the offline method.. been trying that route for the past 3 weeks to no avail so the official OTA is my last chance at getting the update... has anyone in the region received the update as well?

what makes you say such? I'm sure the smoothness brought by project butter is beneficial on a day to day basis.. overall jb should be a much better experience than ICS or is there something I don't know?

Trust me, i'm from south america and the update didn't get here yet but i flashed a kvz from Telcel, Mexico which has JB and the phone is a complete different one. I hated it on ICS, love it on JB due to its smoothness and better response to touch.
Have you tried watching some video tutorials? I had tons of problems trying by my own but then followed a spanish one and boom, problem solved.

download it then flash using offline kdz installer. :good:
after numerous attempts at completing the offline kdz flasher I still haven't succeeded. thus is the reason for me trying to find our whether others have received the update on my region because if they have I may as well wait for it to terrible down to my device... if not I'll seek out the assistance of someone with another PC Cuz the offline kdz flasher method won't work on my laptop...

thank you very much for the help... I will report back with results in a few days...
in the meanwhile could others with a L9 P768 model confirm whether or not they've received an ota update yet

I received the OTA notification... I've even installed the update and can confirm that I am running jellybean.. it's way another overall... battery life seems to have actually improved despite what others have reported...
I dont know if it will work for you but when i wanted to go back to fully stock using the official online flash tool, i used recovery phone option and it gave me jelly bean v20a instead of v10b which is what my phone shipped with. Its not a great method as it will probably hard reset and you would lose data.

I just bought a Sony xperia 1 IV from taipei and currently using it in India. Since the time i purchased the phone, i am getting update notifications either from sony or google, 3-4 times in one day. Initially i updated them all, but everytime after updating the phone would restart thus affecting the battery and the SOT. My worry is are these daily updates necessary or just bloating the phone??
Please do reply if anyone else is facing the issue and how to turn off these updates excluding the real important ones.
Thanks!

This will help you to get started. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-a-xperia-1-iii-without-unlocking.4326235/
It's the same for our device, just make sure to download firmware for 1 iv
Please use Sony PC companion only to update firmware to newest version.
Avoid using new flasher if you've never tried it
