Hey guys,
Today my phone said the update 17.1.1.A.0.402 is available for me phone. But whenever I try to update it via Update Center app it downloads the firmware and then it's verifying and after a few seconds it says 'could not verify'. I tried to update via PC Companion, but PC Companion says there's no update for my phone. Any idea what's wrong?
My phone has a locked bootloader and it's rooted. I also got dual recovery installed. My firmware is stock, I only rooted it.
It wont let you update if you have a modifed Firmware
Dual recovery and root can be counted as modded firmware
You can use flashtool to flash a stock rom (include system only and exclude data wipe)

I guess I'll have to repair my phone using PC companion before I can update? Well let's do that.
Guys I repaired my phone through pc companion and it put the .402 firmware on it. Then I rooted it again. Problem fixed.

I am having the same issue on a Z2 I just bought. How did you use the pc companion to put .402 firmware on it? Thanks

He used the repair function in PC Companion, which will wipe the phone and install the latest update.
If you prefer to keep your data, you could just download the 402 firmware FTF file and use Flashtool to flash it, then root the device again. Just ensure that you untick the Wipe Data option in Flashtool.
Yes. I tried to repair it and followed all the steps but it said the software had been changed after I plugged in the USB while holding the volume down.
I will try to flash. 314 using the other method. Currently have 402.

I just found out my z2 is rooted and the boot loader is unlocked. Will the method using flashtool still return me to stock?

This is the one: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
The one on Sony website is to flash stock firmware on unlocked bootloaders.
I've trying to update my xperia z2 to 5.1. It downloads the software and then says 'could not verify'. I've done factory reset, lost all my contacts, tried it again. Still the same message. Please help

Hey man you are not supposed to use android sdk to relock your bootloader. There is a relocking ftf which has to be flashed. First flash stock ics, then flash the relocking ftf and reflash the stock ics rom
Then you will be able to update via SEUS or PC COMPANION.

It seems your phone did not re-locked bootloader sucessful. To make sure that your phone is LOCKED after re-locked, you should press the secret series to check the bootloaded status.
Just follow this.

MAn you made a huge error by using pcc, after unlocking your bootloader , sony tells you that do not use pcc and seus or ota updates as they may harm your device, even i do not know how pcc recognized your device, and with custom roms it is even harder to solve, however please can you tell me if cm10 is smooth enough?? anyway here is the solutiuon:1)if you have cwm try flashing a custom rom if a custom rom is available on your sd card or try formating your device. 2) flash the official ics .587 by using the flashtool :http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38251 , if the drivers are not available for you to use the flashtool , go to help in the flashtool and hit drivers, and to let your device boot in flashmode ( your device should be off, a green light from your LED light should appear after booting to the flashmode) please hold the volume down button while connecting your device to the usb, to flash the ftf of .587 please click on the first button on the left and choose flashmode, then choose the ftf and flash it P.S: I am a newbie but not a noob, I helped a lot of people on sony forums and on gsmarena and other forums, if I helped you please hit thanks

Be sure that you choose the .587 not the .431 from uliwooly's links and if the flashtool shows you errors please try using the flashtool64 ( available in the flashtool folder), you have also another choice, download a new custom rom, use the flashtool in fast boot mode ( hold the volume up button while connecting to the USB connection) and flash the new custom rom , then try flashing the stock rom by flashtool if it doesn't flash it well on your current rom

Apparently PC Companion says the phone must be on to flash the firmware, and Upgrade Center says that I can't flash the firmware because the firmware I installed is custom and it's ''impossible'' to flash it.

Yes you cannot flash woth PCC or SUS with unlocked bootloader.
If you have firmware file you can flash it with flashtool.
If you don't have firmware file, you can build it yourself.
First start repair with PCC, when it asks you to connect in flash mode quit it.
Now build the firmware file as shown in this post
There will be some differences if you use latest flashtool but they are not that difficult to figure out
If you are having flash tool driver problems please look at my post here first its proven to work please can u tell me are you using windows 7?

Do you have proper drivers installed if you can access cwm recovery and have a backup restore it. Else drain you battery completely and then fash the stock ftf back

I tried to create FTF, but failed. When I tried to repair using PC companion, it showed that Sony update service is not available to the phone and the phone is having some updated softwares. So I couldn't repair the kernel and thus failed to create FTF file.
At last, I found the problem with the phone. The problem was with proximity sensor. While making a call, when the phone is kept close to ear, the phone shows the problem and it restarts and boot loop is occurred. I found the solution for it also.
1) make the call using ear phone.
or
2) make the call with speaker phone.
Then no problem.
Today morning, I checked the phone once more. Now it is working perfectly. I have done nothing other than this.
Thank you very much for immense support and the help. Please help me to create FTF file for my phone. Could you please tell me, other step by step procedure for it as I am a beginner in this area.

Was the phone on nd connected to the PC when you attempted repair, or did you have to choose which phone to repair from a list?
It's weird update is not available.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
Problem solved
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Go to Advanced
3. Choose "Wipe dalvik-cache"
4. Now go to "Mounts & Storage"
5. Choose "Wipe /cache"
6. Reboot your phone
if the problems still exists after doing that and you're sure it's not related to the rom, then you need to do this:
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Now go to "Mounts & Storage"
3. Choose "Wipe /data"
4. Choose "Wipe /cache"
5. Reboot your phone
Hi,
I have Xperia Tablet Z2 wifi model (SGP511)
I have unclocked the bootloader and rooted it.
The Android version is 4.4.2 with build version at 17.1.1.A.0.402
I connected the tablet to my PC and using Sony PC Companion tried to update it.
The PC Companion recognises that my tablet needs an update, proceeds to download it but when it starts updating, it immediately fails saying "unknown system version, the tablet can not be upgraded."
How do I upgrade?
Thanks,
Aseem

You need to relock your bootloader or use flashtool to update your firmware.
If all fails, just use sonys repair function, it will automatically update your tablet in the repair process. You will however lose all data that is not backed up
