As per the Xperia S Facebook page, it seems like another new firmware version is rolling out. 6.0.A.3.73 firmware rolling out on Xperia S.
Does anyone know what this version is about? What all fixes and changes have been introduced.
Also, I am still stuck with ver 6.0.A.3.62. PC Companion still shows that I have latest version of firmware and no updates are available.
I am based in US and have an unlocked Singapore version of the phone. So does that mean I will not be getting this new firmware update as well? Since I didnot receive ver 67 either.
One way to manually get the updates would be to flash with the updated ROM. (As mentioned in a previous thread regarding ver 67 update)
Although I could try that, I dont want to try the same with my phone just yet . I thought Sony would be providing a proper user friendly way to get the firmware updates installed.
Any comments or suggestions??
Flash tool is way more user friendly than SEUS. These updates are per market and unless they feel that Singapore needs an update, you won'e get it. Keep in mind that most of these firmware carry few bloatwares which differ in each market. For each update they have to stick those into the ROM and that takes time.
If you need the latest, there are two ways:
1) Flash the latest provided file from here via Flashtool
2) What you have is the latest for your phone/market,
I moved from .62 to .67 - I can tell you that I have not experienced any differences and I am more optimistic to see signs of ICS. Hopeful not too far from here.
Good Luck
I have an unbranded Singapore set (customization version 1257_6921) and don't have the update either. So far, it seems like the .73 update is rolled out to Singtel-branded sets (customization version 1257-9049).

Really. Quite a number of Singtel users on HWZ have already updated to .73. You might want to check your set via PC Companion. But no noticeable differences reported.

It happened for me too.
What is strange I also found my phone turned off when the message appeared.
But I just unplugged it, turned this on, turned off again and started the upgrade.
And everything went smooth.

That's really funny! I got from SingTel and my replacement phone (for the yellow tint issue) was a generic SG version .

In any case, the update is rolling out for SG generic (customization version 1257_6921). I'm updating now.
maybe someone can upload ftf file for the new firmware?
For those who don't see the update .67
PC Companion told my device was up to date too. But in order to update it to .67 I did the following: settings->applications->turn on "Usb debugging"
Connect device and start PC Companion, and then it saw the update.
Hope this helps

I don't mind, but don't know how to go about doing so. I checked out the tutorial found here but seems it's outdated, because the FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Service \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder are dated 2011. And I can't find any FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony folder.
Edit: Ok, found the files under ProgramData \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Engine \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder. Will try to use Flashtool to create FTF and upload.

Dude, i dont why you didnt get the firmware update. but i just connected my Xperia S to PC Companion and i got the message of firmware update. I ran the update and i am now on the latest build firmware .73
I am in US.
How does the Update Center app work? I found it quite unreliable. Someday it shows updates, some other day it doesn't.
I have hard times trying to figure out why it sometimes does work. Is it region dependent? Is it bootloader unlocked/locked dependent? Maybe it uses somehow DRM keys?
Even after I did a hardreset with relocked bootloader the Update Center doesn't show anything.
It's obvious that I may download the new apks for Walkman etc. from XDA or Xperia Blog, but it would be convenient to let the device download those.
Any info on that would be welcome, I couldn't find anything on the web.
I was able to narrow the problem down to the .314 update. Does anyone get updates via Sony Update Center on the phone on .314 FW? If yes, what branding are you using?
sony update center is no longer supported and generaly problematic
it seems to often just think a device has modified content for me
though it seems to be fine with old devices

You mean SEUS, right? I know that the desktop program has been discontinued.
I meant the apk...
It's funny, because if I install 402 without wiping data and using custom kernel it does detect all the updates. Even with unlocked bootloader. Just after installing 314 the update center stops working and shows nothing. I even tried with the old build.prop from 402, still no updates shown 0.o
I downgraded the apk from 2.2.1.A.0.8 (stock 314) to 2.2.1.A.0.4 (stock 402) and still no go. Wrrrr, I'm out of ideas.

it will not work with an unlocked bootloader (tried many times wirh Z2 and xperia s)
it shouldent work after 314 firmware, i think 314 for Z2 should be last to be uploaded to the server before all are limited th SPCC
sony are trying to force people to use Sony Pc companion
you can use flashtool to upgrade, just dont wipe your data when you update

update center doesn´t work on FW .314.
Does anyone have the "updatecenter.apk" on FW .402 ?
My update center works fine on 314 and downloads as well as installs updated sony apps.
Mime hasn't updated any apps since switching to. 314. I had no problems before then. Hope this gets figured out soon.

I'll just wait for the official update, since I also need the root/recovery/Androplus kernel, so there's no hurry for me
I feel you bro. I am also waiting for the Lollipop fro my D6502

Yeah it is probably better if you dont rush, but it really annoying the untill now no d6502 rom has been updated
BTW there is root by flashing pre-rooted one. Just sharing the info.
Just to let you guys know, I installed the Lollipop update on my D6502 with the baseband fix and it's fine so far. I know the feels...we should have the official version for our model. When the official one comes out, I'll install it as well.
Guys, i havea D6502 and i created a prerooted 23.1.A.0.690 Baltic Generic[for 6503] zip package and added Nut's dual recovery too to the zip package, which obviously didn't work, after flashing the zip in recovery, i immediately flashed 6502_Baseband_V2.zp too (fix for d6502 modem files) . Now i have sim card signal, but my wifi is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting which is pretty unusable in this state (it reconnects almost every 5 seconds), so it's like it is constantly dropping out and then trying to reconnect. What can i do to fix this? any suggestions would be appreciated.

d6502 lollipop
hello people...
dont worry for your lollipop. even i have the same frustration on lollipop. so i contacted the xperia customer service . they said that lollipop for xperia z3 n z3c has been released officially in india and in around or less than a week, xperia z2 (d6502) is going to get the taste of lollipop.
so dont try any other methods and ruin for mobile.

No sir, i am currently connecting with the same device to the same network but on a different rom (CM12/infected) and it's working without any problems. i can not figure out what was the problem on stock official lp except that i have a d6502 (though other users reported it's working fine for them with d6502 patch).
Are you sure you installed the baseband fix as well?
Hi everyone,
my Z2 was updated to marshmallow then lost the baseband, after several times trying to restore it, it didn't work, until earlier, i reinstalled 6.0.1 stock wiping every thing, the phone starts telling there's no sim (the sim is inside), and after 4 or 6 minutes, the sim icon turn pressent but empty, the baseband come come again, the imei come again, but it tell No service
This phone was working okay, the sim card was 100% functional and unlocked, could he been relocked again ? what suggestion do you guys have.
Thank you all !
I'm having the same problem after trying existenz marshmallow. Checked APN, repaired to stock marshmallow with PC repair companion, flashed lollipop ftf, no luck at all... gonna try KitKat I guess. The phone goes into emergency calls only after losing signal, however toggling LTE or airplane mode fixes this until the next area with no signal. Never had this problem before trying marshmallow.

Flashed a kitkat ftf, flashed a lollipop ftf, rooted with kingroot, seems ok now. Knock wood.
EDIT: Was back on emergency calls only when I woke up. Any insight would be appreciated...
EDIT 2: Per Sony customer support, I'm going to try a replacement SIM card after work today. @kherboucha, if the problem was SIMLOCK the cellular network wouldn't work at all, so that doesn't apply (in my case at least).
Replacing the SIM card fixed the problem I was having.

hi pass??
So for various reasons I won't go into I'm not able to flash Marshmallow in flashtool. I'm also unsure about the carrier status of the Lollipop firmware I flashed to return to stock, and therefore unsure about OTA status.
If you're in the UK, have you received the OTA? Also, what carrier are you on?
Thanks
I am on three, and have not gotten the update yet.
I noticed when checking for updates to my phone (customized UK) last week there was a 26.3.A.0.131 marshmallow update for EE phones but when i checked last night the EE update had changed back to the previous 26.1.A.3.111 lollipop release

Yeah, I have an EE phone. Got upgraded to 6.0 (via PC Companion, not OTA). Mic stopped working properly (people who called me couldn't hear me speaking) and the 5GHz radio disappeared (only found 2.4GHz networks) so I did a repair using Xperia Companion and it dropped the phone back to 5.0. I guess the release was a bit premature...
I've only got a notification on my phone that i need to connect it via PC Companion and there was a new update to install
I'm on Tesco Mobile (O2 Network) and I didn't receive the update via OTA so I flashed EE 6.0.1 using FlashTool (XperiFirm). Works great and you can uninstall all the pre-bundled EE apps!

A customised UK ftf will work in Greece and vice versa a customised UK ftf would work anywhere as long as it's for the correct model Xperia. Only real difference is the pre installed apps and some say 4g instead of lte when on a data connection.

1) Were you r00ted prior to the update?
So my other question is this to all M4 owners, anyone r00t 6.0 yet, or should I wait a bit longer for a r00t solution?
I really hate the bloat/crap/push/garbage that SONY crams into the phone.

My charge port broke last month.I sent it back to sony for repair running lollipop on Vodafone and it arrived back to me with marshmallow!!
Blow me, the port broke again in a week. Decided to take it to the shop this time. Collected it today (they couldn't fix it) and I'll be blowed, I get given a brand new carrier free m4 back on lollyflop.
Whas going on.....mustn't grumble but I've lost me marshmallows
Was running smoooothly too. Zero issues
Okay so I don't know if many of you will see this, but I've started a petition to fix this Marshmallow update permanently. I seriously can't believe the poor choices Sony make with their phones. This Marshmallow update was rushed in the end, and this phone has the potential to be better. Heating issue is kind of resolved, it doesn't heat up as it used to, but there is still a problem with the animations. Stamina mode is really bad, and no adoptable storage. If you want to make a change, then please sign the petition right here: https://www.change.org/p/sony-marshm...xperia-m4-aqua
