[Q] [Xperia U] Versions confusion... - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi,
I've flashed my Xperia U with Xperiance Lite ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075878), and my versions is 6.1.1.C.1.0. It was the same also before flashing the ROM.
Now, every time I connect the device to my PC, Sony's software says it found a new update - 6.1.1.B.1.54.
Not that I'm going to update, as I'm so happy with Xperiance Lite, but it makes me confused. Is Sony actually advising me to downgrade? Isn't 6.1.1.B.1.54 lower than 6.1.1.C.1.0?
I'm located in Germany, by the way.

I think 6.1.1.C.1.0 is a regional update,so with X Lite you are already on latest one.
But for Germany .54 is shown as latest one rather C.1.0

Thanks a lot, neectron.
Where do you see what is the latest for Germany?
Also, if I want to keep X Lite, I shouldn't update to .54, right?
Sorry for the silly questions...

If you wanna keep it don't update it.

Yes. PC Suite! thank you!

As we know, .C.10 was published in Croatia (Telekom provider), Slovakia (Telekom provider) and maybe some other countries accross Europe. It's newer than .B.54 and it has solved issues with tethering or missing SMS notif sound...

Thank you, rado77.

And actually its better than .54 . That's right .C.10 its newer and solved many bugs of .54 Just root it and erase everything about T Mobile and you will get the best ICS Stock ROM

Have you changed the build.prop or other document to overwrite the customized version number? The number should ordered in such way as 1262-1120_R7G (it's france version). Otherwise you should not get your Germany notification for you have flashed it to other country version.

[Q] Firmware 4.0.2.A.69 (WT19i)

Did this firmware officially release? If so, can I update it. Maybe my region is Generic Trade France.
maybe that is fake rom. last firmware is .62.
It seems to be available on wotan server for Generic Trade Germany (2.3.4)
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/live-with-walkman-wt19/4-0-2-a-0-69/language-download
Usually these updates take some time to be released accross regions. And sometimes they are skipped entirely for some brands/versions.
I have updated to version 0.69 for wt19i through Wotan server, you can try using Wotan server, I saw more of a free ram very good : P

Done to death this one - this is Germany only and for info, PCC does NOT mean updates are available or that anything on there is for all regions or carriers.
If your phone has an issue that needs resolving, why not ask in the appropriate section? For a start, you could update to .62 (recommended) via Wotan (recommended).

In my region (Latvia) phone lacks FW .62 update! Last week PCC wrote that phone is up to date (FW .42) and this morning - FW .69 is avialable!
Why not use .62 from Wotan then? .69 shouldn't be available outside Germany via SE...
Updating it to .69 might cause issues with Google Mail, or not. Your call.

Does yo mean that I cannot update my phone by SE support, only by downloading somewhere fw and flashing by flash tool?
Where is your phone from and what f/w does it have, region wise? All sounds strange this...!
Its kinda useless, this is only for Germany !! How many times we must say it.

This updates include memory fixes and baseband update to 66 aside from Google Mail issues in DE.
I've tried it myself flashing via Wotan Server.
Make update via PCC, it works fine, noticable faster than .42 (not in benchamrks, but just in use) and less memory usage without blootware freezing! I lost root and all programs moved to ROM, but it worth!

Its only a Google rename of course its faster then 42 ha
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
Faster? Same ROM/kernel with minor App mods/deletes only. And a radio rename.
From Xperiablog:
The last update (version 4.0.2.A.0.62) mainly brought changes to improve memory management to counter reboot issues. It seems that this latest 4.0.2.A.0.69 firmware update is only for the German market and surrounds a legal issue of using the ‘Gmail’ name over ‘Google Mail’. Therefore we wouldn’t rush to try and flash to this latest version.

and again this was based on our usage, i have had .69 on my phone plus this got a new baseband, which is 66
Baseband = radio, FYI
Changing GMail.apk results in a performance improvement. Neat.
yeah, why the baseband has been changed ?
baseband mean wifi, gsm, hspa, bluetooth, gps etc
so there is some improvements
if would have been only a legal problem wit gmail in germany, why a new baseband?
Baseband may be simple update, or more likely, a simple ident change with no code amendments at all. I bet you anything there is NO Difference whatsoever.

I´ve .69 and yes there are some improvments in phone. Just not sure but i think battery drain is a bit faster then .62.
I´m building a rom with this baseband and it´s fastest I saw.
What's faster?
Responses to this are way too vague/placebo/subjective/lacking cred.
Baseband affects "speed" of what exactly? A miracle awaits...
Yesterday I root .69 (unlock BL by testpin), block some blootware and yes, now it is more faster than .42!
I not see FW .62, is in that FW google+, in this FW it present.
Unfortunately Apps2rom not work, it run, but not moove apps to rom!

I have a uk 16gb wifi only sony s
Is it quite straightforward to do?
Or will the uk version b out soon?
I still have no info regarding the uk release of ics
Yeah its kinda starightforward to do but one thing after u do it u cannot change ur region back to uk if u change ur region back to uk it will brick ur device
U need to be in usa region itself until there is some exploit for it in near future
Thanks for the quick reply, I only got it at the weekend so I will play with it for a while and see if ics comes out for uk soon
Don't want to risk a brick just yet though I am keen on getting ICS
Cool device though
Ciao!
ICS isn't been released in europe yet..I updated mine via condi's tool 2.7 flawlessly.. if you simply change your region,you'll lose root for the moment. I suggest to update soon because ICS is much way better!
Sony Italy doesn't know that ICS for Tablet S was released. You can use condi's AiO tool, but read all the instruction in the post. Not avaible for now for 3G model, only wifi

I can give you Gingerbread today and you can update yourself from that with PCC or SEUS or ICS on Sunday.
Yes please. Thanks for your help
Only managed to get Gingerbread for now, sorry, but SEUS or PCC will update you straight to ICS anyway.

If you use it could you let me know if it updates you to 6.1.1.B.1.10 or 6.1.1.B.1.54.
Thanks.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried this on Saturday and it works a treat.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008667&highlight=xperia+uk+firmware
I used the flash tool, then used pc companion to repair the phone and then did a hard reset on the phone. Everything working great. Camera is a bit laggy though.
Goes to 6.1.1.B.1.10 only.
Is there a generic UK firmware that upgrades to 6.1.1.B.1.54 ?

Use the nordic generic firmware. Fast, less junk and works great in the UK. I use it on EE without issues.

It works great everywhere and it gets high scores to antutu
But just noticing... If you wanted .54 firmwire, why did you downgrade to GB than updated to b.10 in first place?
