I just kicked my ZU back into .290 and PCC and Update Centre both say I'm upto date - no 14.2.A.1.136 update.
Can anyone else check or have I broken my install. two days ago the same nandroid was saying there was the .136 update ready to be DL'd

It's weird, I know some people on unbranded in UK got the update about a month ago. Mines actually with O2 but I'd flashed unbranded 290.

I know. Been looking for the update daily for about a week now. Nothing.
I dont really mind though.......I have an occasional wifi drop out on 290 but nothing else serious. Also with my ZU I have held back on root/unlocking bootloader just because............it kinda does everything well without root! I remember a video by Adrian that eventually android would get to such a stage that root wouldn't be needed anymore (apart from customization). Maybe we are seeing the first step of that with sonys firmware? Obviously touchwiz, sense etc are different but Sony is pretty close to stock.

Hello,
Today PC companion found new software, It download but when it install to phone, there is an error.
Error page says there is no software for your phone and there is no software in our database for your phone.
pls check later.
I send a screenshots.
Any idea?
Looks like sony may be getting ready to release a new firmware for us
As for the download problem just keep trying as people had this when ics was released.
I had the feeling that this is gonna happen today This is the bugfix we were talking about!
I hope that there is the battery percentage in the statusbar as seen on the P :fingers crossed:

This one was indeed planned to be rolled out today. There should be more regions available later, but it might take a few hours/days for most countries to have the update available.
well i just care about the ftf file!
I am on LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740 at the moment, so if you're desperate flash that and then keep checking to see if it starts to work, because I am guessing it must be close....hopefully

I think you have to re-lock the bootloader before using PC Companion/Sony Update Service.
Also, today is the only day I haven't brought the USB cable to work with me.
VIA Mobile Xperia
A small firmware update has been certified by the PTCRB for the Xperia Z Ultra (C6802, C6833 and C6806). The new build number 14.1.B.1.532 is a minor revision over the previous update (14.1.B.1.526), which recently started rolling out.
Interestingly, it is the first firmware to be certified for the C6843 model of the Xperia Z Ultra. This may suggest a release soon, although we are unsure exactly which region this SKU will be targeted to.

Sent from my C6802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The SOD only kicked for me on the last 2 firms if I disable the Backlight Optimizations.
I flashed back to the .475...Easy and without anything to loose on a locked bootloader with Flashtools.
Best solution so far until Sony finds out what is wrong...
I guess we all have different hardware manufacturers.
Because not everyone have sods.
If you guys will report SOD issues on sony web site they will take this problem more seriously.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-Ultra/bd-p/22069
Max reports more chance they will fix that fast.
Also after any software update you need to repair your phone with Sony Update Service. (That will help you "fully" clean your device. We all know what's happening when you installing new base on top of old. (Please remember dirty installation will result to many bags and old sod's even after latest update)
Stay tuned
Best Regards.
I just installed 532... from New Zealand and un-changed build.prop.
Never had the SOD and still don't have it. I like the different UI (opposed to my last firmware)
- Battery still the same
- Home screen transitions seem a little hesitant for me.. (anyone else?)
- Bluetooth 212 kb/s transfer speed... (used to cap at 202 kb/s on previous FW. Although that may just be coincidence)
- Nothing else noticeable here.

Baseband is the modem version, IMEI is the unique identifier that registers you on the network. So I doubt the phone or data will work without those. Are you rooted?
I would do a full backup, and then try a repair in pc companion then post back.
I've seen someone else with a similar issue who's had to send it back to Sony for repairs as couldn't find a fix, UK that's the worst case scenario, start with a repair.

You don't need to be rooted to flash stock ROM and don't need to unlock bootloader either. I would suggest flashing 532 first and seeing how it is.

I've got an interesting question. Once Kitkat has been officially released by Sony, would obtaining root be fairly easy?
Or would it be a mission like on current 4.3 firmwares where we have to downgrade, root, flash, etc?
I'm still on 4.2 and will not bother upgrading until Kitkat has been released and obtaining root is done by a one click procedure.
If anything it'll be harder to root
And you would more then likely have to downgrade etc

What Jack said
There is a slight conflict here, you want an easy root path, but you want a secure phone that no one can hijack. If there is a one click root tool then there can just as easily be a 'no click' root exploit that you dont even know has been un on your phone and the writer/hacker now has full control of your phone - see the problem?
The way Sony wants us to do it (and the best security model for us and them) is to unlock the bootloader and install recovery to flash our phones - this is what we do now except we do the extra steps of running a root exploit so we can latter restore our bootloader/TA to a factory state

I understand. What you said makes sense. I previously used Vroot to root previously like most others but after hearing rumours that were apparently true, I no longer used it. As you mentioned they may be stealing our imei numbers and taking control over our phones violating our privacy...
Since Kitkat 4.4 is around the corner, I won't bother updating to 290 Firmware. Who knows, we may need to downgrade and flash to root Kitkat.
As long as we have an unlocked bootloader root is easy
hmmm.i remembered that when the nexus 5 came in..they got it rooted fast.since the software securities of 4.4 is almost(if not the same) with 4.3..but who am i to say..im just a simple guy passing through... but hey, we already have a working kitkat rom for ZU..so why wait? *smiling

You're the second swede in here that haven't received 4.3, and since both Norway and Denmark received it a month ago, I'll conclude that Sony hates Sweden Sony and Ericsson did break up after all, so I guess Sony doesn't want to go back there and risk bumping into Ericsson. Awkward.
I assume you've checked PCC for the update, and that you haven't changed your CDA to a country that haven't received the update (a mistake I did).

It won't let you update when rooted with a different recovery. It'll fail when it says validating download.
I just got mine a couple weeks ago, and moved right after I got it, so other than root and recovery I hadn't done much of anything yet..
