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...

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.

Which region firmware is this?
Also, is anyone going to try and flash this to C6802 to see if it is going to activate LTE?

I think it is UK, Europe for sure. Unbranded, too.
I actually flashed a C6802 Firmware on my C6833 which took away LTE, but left everything else in tact.
Unfortunately from what I have read the C6802 simply lacks the LTE chip on the SOC so actually there is no way to get LTE.
But feel free to try. If all fails you can still always flash back.

I am battling a different problem at the moment, so cannot try today.
I hope someone has the time to try it out, since from what I understand, C6802 does indeed have same SoC as C6833, which is SD800 MSM8974
There were discussions that 'maybe' the antenna could be different, but my gut feeling says it is the same.
Lets see..

This work just fine. Got back LTE radio and everything seems to be as it should....except SOD.
I do everything with ticking an un-ticking optimized background, rebooting etc without any luck.

Did you flash 6833 firmware direct?
Can it be that the your prop file is not modified? I have no idea if this helps, just a guess..

Unbranded does not mean no bloatware. It just means, that it is not a carrier branded version like vodafone or t-mobile, o2 or whatever with their special software installed.
What you want is a vanilla android version for the Xperia Z ultra.
Look in the development forums. Maybe someone is working on this.
With root access you can also delete unwanted apps, though in the newer android versions, you can also disable unwanted apps what essentially freezes them.
lol i don't mean bloatware in that way i am fine with sonys UI its just o2 version has o2 bootup and loadsa of o2 software pre installed and i would like to flash it to the international unbranded carrier free
if this what i am looking for?

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

I was expecting that - but I couldn't find any release info for Canada, since the C6802 is very rare here. 99% of the Z Ultras here are the LTE version.
I use c6802 like you,i didnt anticipate get any update for this model befor LTE one and soon....
I just flashed c6833 ftf to my device. It works fine.
I don't think thats the issue though.
I think its Region.
I don't see Sony not updating the C6802 any different than the C6833.
I think I'm just using the uncommon version in my country.
I just bought the phone recently and it came with 4.4.2 from the previous owner. (It was basically a like new phone)
Are there any region trick methods?

If you are going to force a region change it is just as easy to flash a FTF that is already out there. there is a MY c6802 FTF or flash one of the c6833 versions
I have a sim unlocked Xperia 1 J8110, there is no such option in the settings for VoLTE anywhere, I tried doing *#*#4636#*#* then going on to phone information, but the VoLTE provisioned is grey'd out, is the another firmware I can flash?, Preferably unbranded as I don't want bloatware.

The first to receive the updates usually are RU an UA regions, not UK... But J8110 firmware of that regions are not available.
