It might not be available in your area yet.
I live in South Africa and I always get the update late
if you want the update, what I do is just flash the ftf
Th Xperia P JB ftf can be downloaded here

does this require rooting..boot unlock...
Nope, Flashing with Flashtools doesn't require bootloader unlocking or Rooting.

How can i truly understand that my Xperia Sola is really relocked. Last night i could not update my phone into 4.0 with Sony update service neither pc companion nor Update Center app in the phone. Then i thought my phone is still unlocked although i flashed the key file several times via flashboot. Then i had to flash indian ics stock but feel wrong about it. I want to get stock for my country.
So, how can i handle this issue and how can i get the official ICS for my country. (It is officially released here)

1)Unlock bootloader
2)Root your device
3)Change the SI code to your country and variant
4)Relock bootloader
5)Repair via SEUS or PC Companion
Note :- SI Code gives the SEUS/PC Companion which country and which variant to download

ICS Rooted with Binary Code v 13
How can i change the SI code?

If that seems tricky then flash it with ICS ftf files available in development section for Sola and it should work fine and you will get ICS

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.

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?
Judging by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
Many people are trying to flash ST25a firmware just to get the ICS update.
However if you are in Europe and have the ST25i model you can get the official update via PC companion. It doesnt tell you via OTA but when you connect the phone to pc companion you will be notified of the available update.
Hope this saves quite a few people from flashing the wrong firmware as many were having issues with it.
R: Official ICS update is available for Xperia U (ST25i)
Whats is this?
Update avaiable from 2012!

I don't own a Z ultra but a Xperia Z since we just got 4.3 I was just wondering how long it took you guys to get 4.3? From that I could sort of judge how long I might have to wait...

maybe it will be available along with this New build 14.2.A.1.114 which has been certified :good:
Just thought I'd provide an update:
I rooted my Xperia Z using this simple tool :
http://download.cnet.com/Kingo-Android-Root/3000-2094_4-75996768.html
I then downloaded ES file explorer and enabled RW in the root directory.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en_GB
I edited the build.prop file within the /system folder and changed my customization number to the Xperia Z Three Network one, this allowed me to receive the 4.3 update. From doing my searches it appears 3 are very quick to push out any new update Sony gives, so since my customization number is now locked to the 3 network one, I should get 4.4 very quickly when Sony push it out. The only disadvantage of this method seems to be the 3 boot animation that shows up every time you turn on the phone , but apart from that it's fine.
4.3 is lovely!

Your Tablet Z... Is it LTE SGP321 or WiFi?? If its SGP321 then i would really be greatful if you could provide me with an ftf ... i've got a uk o2 branded one which i obviously dont want xD hence why i need an unbranded uk firmware and not singapore or any other country for that matter

Mines WIFI I'm afraid mate. Take a look around the Xperia Tablet Z forum. Sure someone uploaded the correct FTF.
Netherlands also nothing. This rom is still ok, no rush for updating yet.
I am with EE in UK and have had my 4.3 update some time ago (although I bought the phone sim free via Amazon).
That's so strange mine is uk so free no update here
Tried flashing a Singapore and Central Europe FTF for my UK C6833, but both failed to boot.
Mine also still hasn't arrived in UK on a sim-free Amazon.
It's certainly no biggy, but every single day I use this phone I find something to disappointment me a little more.
ahhh damn lol... i tried looking but nobody has the EXACT same one i need... i eventually managed to customize my cda to the uk by rooting it via the older firmware first and then did an upgrade which i then used to make an FTF... so both my Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Tablet Z are running on UK firmware now even though the Z Ultra was originally from Hong Kong and the Tablet Z (O2 Branded with O2 apps) was from O2 UK xD... i could of kept as it was but i didnt want the bloatware that comes with HK firmware and boy is it alot compared to UKs
