Anyone from Brazil got the KitKat update for our C6843 yet? I've checked a few days ago, from the last version (14.2.A.1.136), with locked bootloader and unrooted, and nothing. Now I don't want to reflash my phone again just to check. If it's already available, I'll create an FTF for you. Thanks.
I've been checking daily through OTA and the PC Companion and still not a sign.
update
I contact Sony and they said that its coming, should take a little more days.
Anyway because of ex sd card limitations i maybe give up and dont install it.

Thanks, and I agree with you, this firmware has some issues, maybe in the next release Sony will make it right. In the meantime we can use monx (if you like stock and don't mind losing digital TV), which has some nice added features and remove this external SD card limitation, or a CM11-based firmware. I'm personally using Carbon Rom and I'm loving it.
14.3.A.0.757?
Fala galera... Anybody got the newest 14.3.A.0.757 update for the C6843? Last time I checked, a couple of days ago, not even the first KK release (14.3.A.0.681) was available, and I'm getting tired of flashing stock + relocking bootloader just to check if Sony cares about us Brazilian users (so far it seems they don't give a sh*t).
If the update is available let me know, and I'll create an FTF here.
It is finally out! I'm downloading the 757 update through OTA right now.
It took some time, but at least we're going straight to the latest version!

Got root/unlocked bootloader?
is it safe for rooted/unlocked bootloader device?
i got this update a few weeks ago, would it have anything to do with my phone being generic and not tied to single network

No I don't recommend updating your device if your bootloader is unlocked. I did it with my phone and my phone ended in a semi brick
ne1 feel like posting the build number etc.... no update for my generic unbranded play here.

thats becuase your firmware is 2.3.2 not 2.3.3
you got the point update weve had since release.
gingerbrick does not work on 2.3.3 fact!
ok i see but it's not a problem for me i used root only to move apps. now that i know adb command ... the other stuff i don't need them seriously.
I do prefer getting update than having root that i use once a year
I'm stuck on the current 532 Chinese version and it's not letting me upgrade or downgrade.
Been over 6 hours flashing and flashing and I'm having problems with the HK/Asian versions of the stock rom.
Since downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 my sim no longer works regardless. I'm not getting any signal regardless of what I do.
I bought my Xperia Z Ultra from UAE and would preferably want to use a UAE/Middle Eastern Rom.
Previously I had the FTF file for the Middle East and it worked wonders for me. Unfortunately I've removed and can no longer find it.
Should anyone be kind enough to upload the FTF file or even guide me to a working link I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

6802. Thanks.
Here you go
XPERIA Z ULTRA C6802_14.1.B.1.532_GENERIC MEA.ftf
Oh, it looks like you've lost your IMEI, and that's why you're not getting a signal. This happens when you downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2. I have no idea why it happens, but it does, so follow this guide to restore your IMEI.
the problem may appear in some models. I downgraded mine from 4.3 to 4.2 without such problem.
p.s you can flash any firmware to your phone, no need to be in UAE. I live in Vietnam and I flashed European 4.3 on mine.

True, however, I had issues with the HK edition of the rom. It had some corruption or file missing since it would't allow me to properly root and when trying to boot in CWM it would't work.

Correct, my imei was 000000000000000. I will refer to the link you provided. Thanks.
I've successfully UPGRADED to 532 Middle East version. :laugh:
Thanks to everyone for their support and response.
Unfortunately I'm not that technical with regards to flashing and such and usually I spend hours if not a whole day trying to solve a simple issue.
Usually when attempting downgrading, flashing and changing roms and using custom firmware I get stuck half way through.
This ends up with a half working phone, boot loops, etc...
This happened when trying to get the 290 firmware, rooted with root. The part with regards to using a dual recovery was not too clear and this resulted in a bricked device.
I'm now back to stock 532, rooted & happy. To be honest, I didn't see any big differences with 532 and 290.
I cannot live without root. My bootloader is locked and unlocking it is a pain in the ass, lol.
I will patiently wait for the proper update of Android 4.4 Kitkat until I decide on upgrading.
I can only hope there is an easy rooting method of 4.4 when it's released. I don't plan on backing up data, reinstalling everything again, etc...
Let's hope when 4.4 Kitkat is released there is an easy rooting method which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. :laugh:
Hey guys im curious if I need to update in order to update
The thing is I own a C6806 unlocked in the US and I haven't received the 4.4 update yet not even via pc companion
The thing is it only shows the. 136 Which I decided not to perform because of the bugs
So do I need to update to. 136 first?
Thanks

Well, you can flash the ftf file instead of waiting of the update.

Every ROM has its bugs so be not afraid of them, take the improvement and learn to appreciate it. For your case, that would be no problem to skip it.
All -
Is it just me or is the 4.4.4 Update still not available for USA Z2 Tablets? I got the update on my Z2 phone a while back but no go on the tablet. I have the SGP512 Firmware and I get the fated "Your device already has the latest available system updates" when I try the Update Center.
I have also tried connecting my tablet to a PC but still no luck. I thought these updates came out a month ago? Anyone else experiencing this or am I missing something? I have seen a few dated threads on this subject but no conclusive update as to whether this update has finally been rolled out for the US Z2 tablets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No One?
So everyone has 4.4.4 ?
I still havent seen it. Bought the tablet for the remote play feature and over a month with no word. No response when I ask Sony. I love the company but very disappointed in them now.
You can check your region/carrier with XperiFirm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Looks like North America is still on 17.1.2.A.0.314...
If there is no update for your device on specific region and you want to update to latest firmware you can just use other region ftf-file for your device and flash it via Flashtool. Differences are more or less in bloatware that come with firmware. Also it´s reported that because only difference between SGP511 and SGP512 is memory size also SGP511 firmwares work fine with SGP512 device.
Ah thanks..

Thanks all for the responses. I am glad to know i wasn't crazy. I will wait till the 15th and if I don't have it then I will go the route of switching to another region to see if I can get it that way. Much appreciated.

I had an update for my SGP512 to 23.0.1.A.4.30 this morning, here living in DE
By th way you can force download an update image using Flashtool. A simple guide is available here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/01/flashtool-version-0-9-18-1-allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/
I'm in Canada and I got the 23.0.1.a.4.30 notification last night. I'm updating through PC companion right now. I'm completely stock.
It seems I was not the only one to get it in North America: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57232943&postcount=80
I live in US and got notification that I had a download available on the 5th. I just upgraded via update on tablet this morning with no issues. Also, I was rooted but not unlocked and was able to keep root (SuperSU Survival Mode)

Got it too and installed it. Yeaay, about time.
Hi!
I've been using the phone for about 2 months and noticed that it never updated to the latest official firmware (.167). Instead, it only updated to .99
I've tried both verifying update from the phone and checking for updates from the Sony Companion tool, but they both say I have the latest version.
Any ideas?
Is your boot loader unlocked? That's probably why you didn't get the latest update. Use the Xperia Flashtool and XperiaFirm to get the latest update
I never unlocked it, so I understand it shouldn't be. (never made any attempts to flash it or root it so far, because i was afraid i'd have to undergo a lot of trouble to undo the changes to update to official Marshmallow when it rolls out)
That's weird but you can still install the new update through the Xperia Flashtool and you should be fine
If you're in the US, that's the latest. We are at least 2 updates behind.

I'm in Argentina, but I actually brought it from the US (unlocked). So maybe that's the reason.
Where you able to update via PC companion? Or do you had to use flash tool? I was wondering because i am having the same issue. E2306 bought in the US but currently in south america.
Sorry for the late reply. I was never able to update it. Haven't tried flashing yet. I might as well just wait for a 6.0 OTA or stable rom to make it worth the hassle (and risk) of flashing.
UPDATE: installed .111 with flashtool.
After a terrifying half hour thinking I might have bricked my phone, it finally booted.
I'll upload Now antutu benchmarks before and after to see if there's a difference in performance.
UPDATE2:
According to Antutu, performance went from 28967 to 28714 (it may be that results are variable). In any case at best, you get the same perfomance according to it.

Benchmarks are pointless... Scores don't really show how smooth or fast device is
