[Q] update to 4.0.3 release 5 - Sony Tablet S

Hi ,
I really hope that someone can help (Sony helpdesk sucks). I can't update from 4.0.3 release a to release 5, i have tried reseting , as well as the hold power button and the volume button up , and the factory default. Thats all I know. I am NOT rooted, still under warranty if that matters. Would rooting be a good option?
Thanks,
Bruce

What is the model # and or where you from? I dont "think" it has been released world wide yet, just wondering if your region may not have it yet.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the help.
My model is #sgpt112ca/s, 32 gigs
I am in Canada, and when I spoke to the Sony rep (try not to laugh), they claim that it was available.
When I did what was suggested in my previous message, I thought it would reset to the factory default but all it did was reset back to 4.0.3, which sucked.
My favorite advise from Sony was that I had to many apps ( 250+) and that is why outsourcing is not a good thing.

Ding ding ding ding ding !
You're the 136,794,308th person to ask this inane question on XDA. Accordingly, Samsung have advised there will now be no official ICS firmware released for the SGS2, ever. Nor will there be any source code whatsoever released (which means CM9 won't be progressing from its current alpha build status, also ever).
Are you happy now ?
Also, you made the Baby Jebus cry.

Ok, on a serious note. Some users have reported brick or partial brick i.e adb still works etc. Condi said he has changed region one more than one occasion and had no troubles. Best to wait for now, until devs sort it out. You will be able to change back soon enough. Any reason you want to change back? like 3g capability?
Hope this helps you with your 'table'

Sorry do you mean you programmed in the sky decoder? Ive had to do that twice lol..... it sucks but well worth it. There is an apk, something like com.sony.irremote or similar. Any way unless you had backed up with titanium or similar root backup I believe those settings are gone....
:'(
I forgot to backup the application..
now I have to program the keys of the decoder one by one.
I've another problem with this tablet, when i write with the touch keyboard, sometimes it take some imput twice, and write double letters.
it happens to someone else?

[Q] Htc One Issues.

Hellow Everybody.Before 2 days i bought Htc One M7. I have 2 issues with my new phone. Accidently discovered that there is no HDR mode in photo mode, and by luck i found out that this problem is from T-Mobile Htc One's Phones. I am not living in Usa but in Bolivia which mobile phones from Usa are sending here in order to be sold ( Brand New Ones). Anyways there is a way to know if it Is International Version or T-Mobile Version???. The second isuue is with Htc Account i have follow the steps over and over again but can not sync the phone with the account of Htc that i just created today. Htc sync is inactive (gray) . I guess thats why i don't receive messages or Updates like the camera fix that i see is already out.
Any Solutions???
Thank You,
Konstantinos.
Any Help? Anyone ?
Check your phone for software updates. One just come out for tmo usa that restores the hdr function

Have you rooted your device? did you get it second hand? did you convert it to a developer version? did you change the CID?
If you answered NO to all questions, then I think you should perform a hard reset on the device and see if that can solve the issue, otherwise maybe you need to take it back and have it exchanged. Don't be disappointing when you have an issue, that's why we are all here, to help you.
If you pulled it out of the box and none of the TV apps were installed and your having issues getting an OTA that your phone should have, then perform the hard reset (tech support will ask you to do so anyways); and if that doesn't fix the issue, then return it. That's why we have warranty.

Just to get the story straight, can you let us know what version of the phone you have? Do you have the international version? Whats your current android and software version?
Your HTC account doesn't have to be syncing in order to receive ota updates but what's the error message your getting when you try to sync it?
This info can help us troubleshoot your issue better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well sorry guys for the missunderstand. Now to the facts, Nobody could tell me untill today which version i have, when i went today to the store they told me i have the International Version. Android Version is 4.1.2 and Software version is 1.36.599.1 ( the weird part) , cause i am not wrong the offical version shoudn;t be 1.27 or 1.29????. Not sure about that.... Now i am trying to sync my Htc account but the option that says "Syncronize Now" is grey out (disabled). So i can not press this Button.
Well guys after contacting a Htc and sending a banch of mail i finally got i guess the answers. My software version they said is Normal 1.36.599.1 for Latin America. So it is My Android 4.1.2. The reason that i can not get sync My Device with Htc Account is cause this service is only available in USA and Europe. Also the Reason i can not get Ota Updates cuase simply there isn;t one currently avaliable for Latin America. The No Ir Tv App and No HDR mode they suggested me to accually buy a app from market that is gonna HDR mode in Photos.
Well it;s all very dissapointed for me, and Really now i need your help guys. I would like to suggest me a way to solve these problems by changing some things Like CID Customs Or Stock Roms S-Off etc. I don;t have lots of experience with these options so i would like to suggest a Safe way (well as much it can be safe) to do all these. I have the device a couple of weeks still of course has warranty and i don;t want to brick it. ( Who wants anyway). By the way what Is S-OFF And RUU Roms???
My CID Is Htc_332 Sw verions 1.36.599.1 Model is PN0711000 , project m7_u_jb_50.
All the help i can get is very welcome,
Thank you very much,

update z3v

Hi; is there an update for z3v with build N° 23.1.D.0.239 ?
i cant find it in xperifirm !!
Latest firmware for Z3v in xperifirm is 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B
Do you have the most recent Xperifirm?
This is also the latest firmware that VZW will send if you check for software updates.
yes my device shows 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B . and in right side in the same line S/O !
and it tells me that if it is S/O; i should use the software updater for the latest update so i did but i get the message error during DM session
is this officiel firmware ?

Exactly this. Nowhere else on the internet has the update version number as precise as that. Download it, share it on here, you're making headlines everywhere. Xperiablog, GSMArena, Android Authority, etc.
Trying to see if I can access it.
However, the dang Sony Bridge application will not recognize my Z3v being plugged in

The TC is quite mysterious. He doesn't directly respond to sharing other information about it.
What I do guess is trying to reinstall the program based in a different region. Try somewhere in Europe or northern Europe. Wherever it seems that Lollipop was first released and see if the phone would get recognized there. Or even try to mimic the settings from the picture posted somehow.
I loaded this on my Macbook.
It would not recognize my Z3V either.

I set my vpn in france & london. Neither yielded a different file. I guess the program just goes off of system language (hence the French in the OP's followup)
Well I'll be damned how Verizon could just hold onto it to put bloat in it.
I updated my recently bought tablet to Lollipop. I wanted to root it before I do it, but it was some hell of a trouble for me to get root because instructions were all over the place. I gave up on it halfway, go back to Kit Kat, then flashed the official Lollipop firmware. I have to say, it feels just as smooth if not better, and the whole Material design looks dazzling. Once it's going for the Z3v, I'm pretty sure it's definitely worth it despite all that's said from experience on the Galaxy S5.
One thing I do hope they add is a Clear All button for the Recents menu. It'd be convenient, but definitely a lot more convenient on the tablet because of the bigger touchscreen area.
A Tech guy I spoke to 2 days ago (during a service call) informed me that the Z3v voLTE update is scheduled for the end of the month!
I assume that would be included in the Lollipop update?!?

New E5823, running 5.1.1, no updates

Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
Neither of the two links work for me.
