FYI, 681 ftf works only with flashtool version 0.9.15.. could be the reason why u think ftf's corrupt.
i was one of the (un?)lucky early-birds to spot the first 681 FTF here on xda... i'd spent several horrible minutes scared out of my wits waiting for flashtool 0.9.13 to unfreeze while flashing the FTF i'd first downloaded.... too scared of bricking my phone to cancel coz the progress bar that dint move past 5% ... took a chance and unplugged after the longest 20 minutes of my life...downloaded another FTF... flashed again... still faced the same issue.. dint spend too much time to cancel the second time it happened... googled flashtool errors in general .. figured from another forum and another thread (non ZU related) that it helps sometimes to flash FTFs with the latest flashtool version..downloaded 0.9.15 and voila... that indeed helped... i see now on xda that several others shared the same experience using older flashtool versions.. and that 681 does need new flashtool version to be flashed properly... hope this helps... or that u've already figured that out by now..
i've installed it on my phone and it's slower than 4.3

of course it is. These are around 100 MB more, which means more apps and more Services that are running @ the background.
Yes more apps but that doesn't mean that there are more services or that it will be slower.
What do you mean by slower? Benchmark or just the user interface?
I found it quite fast most of the time except every so often it later for 1/2 a second. Live wallpaper problem?

Have you guys tried it with ART runtime? Should be faster?

Sony have left ART out of their 4.4
Realised this as soon as I flashed. What a shame! Back to carbon ROM then

Good luck.. Hope you will post some screenshot afterwards..
The baseband is still 72 ?
just a curious question, does the home launcher in 4.1.B.0.587 is smoother now like in GB? the only reason i had moved to my own ported miui because of it's too lag in 4.0.4
Out of curiosity which country is this update for?, I'm still waiting for the original ICS update in UK, and my phone is sim free, and they haven't updated the SI Numbers for a month.
recieved the update here .. in egypt
Anyone can post the ftf file?
Hey plz tell us more: D

btw, did you lose the ROOT ???
Wonder what the deal will be with rooting this one? Hopefully it won't be like ICS 4.0.4. - i.e. using Flashtool to flash 4.0.3 kernel (then root & CWM) and then flashing back to 4.0.4 again. Then again, if someone posts up an .ftf for .587 it should be straightforward enough. Hopefully anyway!:fingers-crossed:!
I got update in georgia but same global fail while downloading firmware.. almost bricked my phone..

The mentioned rooting method worked. I guess it will still be the only method for locked bootloader.

Yes, this for international version, I'm uploading the american version too.
And I confirm that can root and install clockwork mod such in 431 firmware.
Just flashed to 4.1.B.0.587. The UI is definitely smoother, and the camera lag seems to be gone as someone else has pointed out. Also the phone in general seems to be faster. I can also confirm like the others that the rooting trick for 4.1.B.0.431 works on this new firmware.
Could you guys please post some link with rooting instructions and necessary files to achieve it? Thanks a lot.
guys what about led notification? sms, missed call? working or not?
HI guys I need help asap my phone has no IMEI and it wont get signal. it was working fine till I rebooted the I notice I had a red x on my signal can any one help please. i'm on stock sony firm .532 android 4.2.2 ultra C6802 root only.

If you downgraded to .532 then
Flash this .532 ftf to avoid IMEI loss
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=2476#downloads
I'm guessing that you've downgraded from 290 to 532? If so, update to 290 again. This problem won't go away by itself. It'a a baseband thing. It got updated with the ROM when you updated to 290, so it seems like it's not compatible with earlier builds, and that's why we're ending up with no IMEIs when we downgrade.
It'll work again once you update to 290 again.
no I never upgraded to anything because I didn't want to unlock my phone so I'm on .532

I know, but have you been on 290, and then downgraded to 532? Have you been on any ROM that's using 290 as a base?

This 532 ROM should fix your problem. Flash it using Flashtool. No root or unlocked bootloader is needed.
i did but, i only found ones that tells you only if you updated

Check my post above yours (with the link). Just flash it using Flashtool and you'll be fine.
It's almost 4 AM here now, so i'm going to bed. I have Tapatalk notifications enabled though, so i'll catch your new posts in bed if there are any
i will try it. i hope this can fix my problem thanks a bunch. let you know ( lord )
You do that. I'm going to bed now, so be sure to quote my posts from now on, so i get notifications from Tapatalk. Can't guarantee that i'm awake 5 minutes from now, but we'll see. NUT's 532 ROM should work fine though (the one i linked).
Thanks. will report later or tomorrow....

I don't know what would have happened to your ZU and the only thing I would suggest is to flash [NUT]'s rom that lordmanhatton linked to. This will wipe any userdata so back up stuff (should leave photos/music etc I think) but you will lose passwords/wifi keys/account settings/etc
I so want to quote lordmanhatton and wake him up...
got it. thanks
I want to give thanks to LORDMAN. and every body for your help. I've got my phone working again by flashing with flashtool. just like you toll me LORD Thanks again.
Sony PCC downloaded the update overnight. But failed to install it on phone in morning. I got the phone stuck with 'Failed Update...' message on boot. Got me worried.
Looked over google. Downloaded Sony Update Service: http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Copied all files downloaded by Sony PCC in 'C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db' folder to 'C:\Program files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\'
This made Update Service think that it has downloaded the update already (saved the time and agony to download 1GB update again)
One day KK usage report (My XZU is unrooted, stock ROM and Kernel)
- Better touch response in games. Asphalt 8 runs smoother and faster than 4.3.
- No lags, no memory leaks, no overheat (everything is almost similar to 4.3 or a bit better I would say)
[Free memory on boot ~.93GB and after a few hours of gameplay and browsing is 870MB]
[Battery drain overnight (9 hours in sleep mode) was just 1%]
- System sounds are louder than 4.3 with xLOUD on.
- Immersive Mode: I noticed various apps and games didn't support this. So I installed Immersive Full-Screen Mode (no root required)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.immersivemode
This app is just awesome. Now I can play many games in Immersive mode and even apps like Adobe reader can use this feature of KK.
Overall I am very happy with this update. Good job Sony!! :good:
You mean to say theres another build ? 14.3.A.0.757 ?
I have the ZU C6802 with 14.3.A.0.681 and there's no xLoud?

Still 4.4.2. It's a bugfix update.
After using the 757, i think the image quality of the camera is a bit better in lowllight, less artifact, and more detail compared to 681. Might be the first time that i can say i like the superior auto result. And plus with manual setting, the low iso puts it a bit darker compared to previous version, which puts an auto contrast/brightness layer after capturing the image. The next improvement is the wifi seems to be a lot stronger. Used to be 1-2bar on the second floor, but now a 3 bar is not that seldom. Overall I'd say it's an improvement compared to 681

I haven't heard of anyone who flashed full ftf with wipe and had the camera issue.. I'm pretty much certain the bug isn't a bug - it's a result a not wiping data or not flashing ALL files in ftf.. Therefore, op if hasn't had the "bug" in either 681 nor 757 as he/she must have performed a full flash.
Conclusion, bug is procedural only and will still remain in this update if your don't flash the complete ftf with full wipe
(meaning lb users stuck with it I guess )

Thing is, I didn't use flashtool. I used Sony update centre to update my phone. So it was updated through official means. Also, there's no ftf for Singapore .681 so I'm not sure what to flash. Can I just flash any countries ftf on my phone despite being in Singapore as long as its for the same device? Or will there be compatibility issues?

Have you not received .757 update in Singapore yet? I am sure it will be seeded anytime. Wait till next week.
Hi!
I have Swedish (got this info when calling sony care) single sim Xperia X. I rebuy it with android 7.0 preinstalled (34.2.A.0.292 SI: 1302-6122_R5C).
From first run I can't see option to use fingerprint scanner in settings -> security, tried factory reset, Xperia Companion repair, even sign to concept program to see if installing concept build will help... It want.
After installing concept build, in settings (sugestions cathegory which sometimes appears in top of settings app) entry for protect device with fingerprint scanner appears, but after click on it settings app hangs. Also, like in official build, there is no entry in security tab.
I contacted sony and they told me to send device for repair, but I realy don't think it's hardware problem.
When repairing phone with Xperia Companion, I saw that FW files were unpacked into folder C:\programdata\sony mobile\update engine\localstorage\US
Is this mean Xperia Companion installs US version of FW??
i had a same issues so i try to use or customized firmware and it appears :3 so u can use xperiafirm to find other firmware to flash with flashtool

Which firmware do you use?
I had this problem, it was a hardware issue. They replaced my phone.
You can try shutting down your phone and turn it on by pressing the power button hard (not too hard so you don't damage it). After that i usually had fingerprint option, but it lasted only for a short while and it wasn't very accurate.

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.
