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.

Same here, no update
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I just updated. I see nothing new from .62. Maybe it contains bug fixes. My customization is 1257-8080_R6E.

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.

Hello Guys,
I bought Sony Xperia Tablet Z last month in India. I've got the latest update and it is still version 4.1.2. I googled and found out that 4.2 version is already available for Xperia Tablet Z. However it says no new updates available. Anyone has any information when sony is going to release 4.2.2 for Tablet Z in India?

Yes, many regions got the update.
I have model# SGP351
It is the model that is made for the US that works with ATT and T-Mobile. Was released about 3 weeks ago
No update to 4.2.2
4.1.2 is installed no over the air update and no update if I connect to Sony PC companion. I have had the tablet for about 2 weeks now and nothing. I check everyday.
Person in this thread same thing

That's pity. Sony has tweeted about the rollout few weeks ago. I asked in the customer care but they don't have any information.
If you check here http://www.sonymobile.com/in/software/tablets/xperia-tablet-z/ you can see that the upgrade has been released on 5th August.

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

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.

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..

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.
Guys, I need help. I can't update my xperia c5 ultra . Basically I never got OTA update but I decided I'm just going to update it through my PC with XPERIA Companion. The problem is that when I plug in the device, xperia companion just displays the message and says that my phone is up to date but it clearly isn't because its running Android 5.1. I've tried everything, and after maybe 50 tries message "new undefined software update is available" appeared but before I could do anything it just closed itself ?
Flash manually
It's not yet released for all countries.
U have to wait for couple of days to get it.
Or else you can download the firmware from
xperiablog . net
and scroll down and you will find a post telling c5 receiving Marshmallow
And flash it manually by Flashtool software.
