[Q] No OTA updates? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased 2 xperia tablets from EE one in December as Xmas present the other in Jan/Feb for myself.
The first one I purchased is receiving OTA updates quite often and has been on kit Kat for months now, mine is still running jellybean and has not had a system update since I can remember
Both are SGP321 and mine does receive application updates through the Sony update centre
Currently on build 10.3.1.A.2.67
the other is on build 10.5.1.A.0.238
Manual refresh on update centre always comes back as "your device already has latest available system updates"
Any ideas why this one is not getting updates through?

Do the have similar customization numbers?
Your customization number can be found in your service menu under 'Service info' > 'Software info' > 'Customization Version'
If not. That is normal, because not all codes received .283 the latest firmware. If codes are similar try to update with pc-companion.

Yeah customisation codes are different... 1274-050_R4B and 1273-9362_R2D
Tried PC Companion anyway and same thing most up to date... annoying it is so far behind!

And boot loader locked on mine... great!
Is there anyway of installing a standard (but different customisation code) version on? Or am I basically stuck waiting?

1273-9362 is UK and it is updated to .283 firmware. 1274-0506 is T-Mobile UK and it is on 2.67 firmware. So all you need to do is to flash firmware via FlashTool. It's not difficult at all. Jusy look through tutorials.

UK Generic 2.1 - Update available? This morning...

Phone for the first time showed software update available itself this morning? selected it, then it said looking for available networks, found my 3G then said you already have the latest software?
Is this right? anyone had an update this morning? wondering if its the UXP update to timescape/mediascape as Ive removed these might not like it

do you have SE core apps removed from the phone?
no mine is running standard generic world 2.1, debranded on vodafone rooted with z4
I got a update message on monday, when i got home it said my phone was up to date hmmmmmmmm.
i'm running generic world 2.1, i get nothing on the ota, pc companion and seus. however, i wonder if this has something to do with removing the semcsync apk from system/app. and that's why the ota update isn't showing for ota update for me.
i think tonight i'll try flashing the rom, leaving it as is, and trying the updates to see if i get it.
I got the UK generic update ages ago... could this be a further update? OTA update check on mine says nothing available..

Yes, this is another update that should be OTA.

[Q] Firmware availability in UK

I got the 'SIM free' version of the phone, because I thought this would avoid those awful 'carrier delays'
I have tried the update several times (PC support) but just get 'your firmware is up to date' - yet I am still on 17.1.A.2.55 (yet 17.1.1.A.0.402 has been released for a couple of weeks).
How can I tell when it's available (other-than keep trying 'PC support') ?

My Z2 is locked to EE but even they released the update last week. Really surprised the sim free version hasn't been released in the UK yet.
It is getting a bit silly, most in the UK are still stuck on .55 but there has been .69 & now .402 Maybe they are doing it the way samsung do updates in that it the carrier branded ones that get the update first then unbranded.

Hey peeps I took this from Sony UK support site:
Latest available software
You may already have the latest software, depending on the date of purchase. Software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device.
Android version: Google Android 4.4 (Kitkat)
Latest available software: 17.1.1.A.0.402
Release started: 2014-05-23
To find your device’s current software version:
Settings > About phone > Build number / version
SO it seems that .402 is available in the UK.
Hope this helps :good:

I imagine they release staggered and cover the largest number of customers at once, namely carrier phones. SIM free probably accounts for the least stock out in people's hands.

I am unable to get latest official updates on my Xperia XZ1 (Still on Aug'17 Patch)

I purchased an Xperia XZ1 in May, 2018. After use of couple of days, i noticed that i am unable to get latest updates (even my android security patch is of August 5, 2017 which should be of May/June'18 as per official XZ1 updates). Thereafter, I enquired on official Sony Mobile forum where i got to know that my unit is not a retail unit but meant for "commercial and journalism" purpose . Now after gathering such knowledge which is still not confirmed and i am worried about future updates, could anyone here help me regarding this issue so that I would get the official updates on my phone which is still showing that my phone has the latest software.

You should be able to flash the latest through flashtool if it does not help to connect it to Sony companion

Actually, I first tried PC Companion and it is showing that my phone has the latest software. Same is shown in the phone's System Update. What to do now...
Download firmware through Xperifirm and flash through Flashtool
What's your device model?
is your bootloader unlocked?

Model No. is G8342 and the Bootloader is locked.
Could you please guide me through the whole process of flashing the right firmware as I am new to all this and I think I have to do this.
Happened with me too, apparently some sellers online/local markets are selling storefront/demo devices after repackaging them and these do not get updates from sony officially but function fine, to confirm this you can check customization version of your phone and match it at https://xpericheck.com/device/G8342
If it's 1309-7037 (Commercial and Journalists) or 1311-2293 (StoreFront) then it is definitely demo unit :/
To check customization version:
Open the dialer
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* and press dial
Tap on Service info
Tap on Software info
Look for Customization Version
I'd suggest to try returning device if possible..

Its the Commercial & Journalists' unit. Im afraid returning the device is not possibe now. I just want to confirm if I flash any other stock rom, would that make my phone have latest official updates as and when available?
Kindly my phone was the same when i have got it last month but I have flashed the mea ftf file through Xperia flashtool and now I am getting new update which is not shown at any website yet I think it is july security patch.
Update: New software version 47.1.A.12.235 now installed with july security patch.

Mate 20 Pro - No EMUI 9.1 Update

I have received the EMUI 9.1 notification update on HiCare. However, when I got to the phone settings> software update I get the notification that the current version 9.0.0.266 (C432E10R1P16) is up to date.
I am on Three UK - LYA-L29.
Is the EMUI 9.1 carrier specific? I just don't understand why I get the update notification would come up on HiCare but on the phone settings doesn't.
Any one with an idea what would be wrong?
At least you got the notification lol so it's probably coming for you soon. As for me, my device is C432 as well and I haven't gotten any EMUI 9.1 notification. Nothing at all. Smh. I guess we just gotta be patient.
The weirdest thing is that someone from these forums with the same region AND carrier as me said they received the update. I just don't get it. I'm not butthurt but how is that possible? Same region, same carrier. They got the update and I still havent. Really weird.

Read very carefully the header....it says update REQUEST.
You have been added to a back server updater.
I am in same position I clicked thinking it would show up, still waiting....
But reading some threads here it doesn't look like 9.1 is all that special especially if you want notifications showing.
hi , I am downloading now EMUI 9.1 the update, it is 4.14 GB

I live in the nz. I heard the news about Mate 20 Pro getting emui 9.1 as soon as it came out and i've been waiting ever since. No updates, no requests, no nothing.
Hey guys,
Not sure how about you. But after I clicked the update icon in HiCare I was able to update to emui 9.1 (from setting menu)
And this is not working for a lot of Mate 20 Pro users.
Some dont get the notification at all and some ( me included) received the update notification in the HiCare App but there is no new systemupdate available..
Now I am on 266 C432.
According to the support, we need to wait until our Waves are published...
Got this from Huawei,
12:41:00 - Julie said : The update might not be downloadable as it shows you an available update for the model of the device in general, but that doesn't mean that it is available for your specific deice yet.
12:41:26 - Shane said : Is there any ETA on it being pushed to my device?
12:43:21 - Julie said : We do not have an exact time frame for it, you should receive it approximately at the end of the following month.
12:43:25 - Julie said : I would kindly recommend you to patiently wait for the update to come to your device, the update has been barely released, and given the fact that it is released in batches some devices will receive it earlier then others, but you will receive it as well

Strange how they can say that when it was advertised that all mate 20 series would get the 9.1 update in June i read this from Huawei central so not sure how reliable they are.
Im on LYA-L29 .266 (C432) Three UK and still no update.
I don't understand this. I'm currently on 9.0.0.238, and my phone says the software is up to date. I have the mate 20 pro, LYA-L29 version, on Three UK. The hicare app also says my software is up to date and emui 9.1 is nowhere to be seen.
I am still on 9.0.0.215 on LYA-L29C605.
I installed HiCare and when it didn't update me to 9.2 I smashed my phone with a rock.

no security updates since march 1, 2020?

Hi all,
so I bought a V60 with DS yesterday, it was an open box but all the plastic still on device, like brand new and was able to test it and reset it to factory default before buying.
everything fine with setting it up but the phone doesn't update the security patch level..it says: you are using the latest software version for current OS.
patch level is from march 1 , 2020.
anybody knows what could be the issue.?? i've haven't found anything on this issue on the internet yet..
info:
model LM-V600EA (i think this is the Global unlocked version.?) my country is the netherlands and have a Vodafone SIM, i am able to make phonecalls and use data 4G+
software version v10f-EEA-XX
android version 10
buildnumber: QKQ1.191222.002
KERNEL 4.19.81
ive tried to use the LG Bridge software but when it want to update the driver it cannot make connection to the server.
when i want to install the driver by myself, it says that the os version (using a mac os catalina 10.15.6) is not supported...sigh..
looks like the unlocked version doesn't update.? the US verizon version have had several updates, even the latest august sec. patch level.
if someone could shed a light on this, or knows what is the issue...already very thankful.

--UPDATE--
hi all,
i succeeded with updating the phone.
I used a windows 10 laptop, installed LG drivers and LG Bridge software.
it found an update, downloaded it and installed it. whole process took about an hour. download was very slow.
now i have the July 1 security Patch update. (not the latest which is august, but ok, it's LG)
software version is now v10m-EEA-XX.
camera software also updated.
still wonder why the phone is not updating OTA.
BR
Mike
I have the American AT&T model and received the August 2020 patch as an OTA a few weeks ago.
Since receiving the phone around April 1st, I feel like we've gotten every other security update.
IIRC, something like March (came with it), April, June, and August. But my recollection is a bit hazy.
On t-mobile tje July security patch is the most recent release. We've also been getting every other month or so, so I am expecting an update sometime in September hopefully
still don't know why the OTA update was not working. maybe because I have an unlocked version of the V60.??
as (security) Updates are being pushed out by carriers, i had to update it via LG Bridge.
bi-monthly update check via PC it is then.
thanks ya'll!
I also have unlocked eu version same as yours and all updates on mine was done OTA, I'm on July at the moment.

do you also have the -XX in your software version.? I've read somewhere that XX on software LG phones indicates it's a test/demo model..maybe that explains why it was a open box when I bought it..
anyway..I was able to flash it with firmware V600EA10M_00, (NLD Region) ive used LGUP, hoped that the XX in the software version was removed but it isn't.
Also found a V600EA10K_00 version..Think Im gonna isntall this one and see if there's any difference, want to know what the K and M means in the firmware.
if anybody know what it means, let me know!
Thanks all!
Mine is LM-V600EA, V10m-EEA-XX.
I bought mine from Belsimple from Netherlands and actually use phone in United Kingdom on EE network. Definitely not test version. Letters in software version indicate release as lower letter then never software, same with other LG mobiles ( I had G3, G5, V30).

thanks for the info. so if i flash it with the K version, it would be an earlier version of the software and security patch level. then I leave it with this M version.
do you have an idea on why the OTA was not working for me then.?
as we both have an unlocked version and mine wouldn't update OTA. phone was on security patch level of 1 March "out of (open) the box" and on software version v10f-EEA-XX but OTA said I was on the latest version of OS.
When I opened nine from box first what I done I checked for updates and it's downloaded straightaway. Did you connected through WiFi or mobile network. Maybe updates are set to not download through mobile network etc. Also the way how software number show up it's mean that is unbranded fw, if you will have branding fw it will show something like v10f-234-30 (for UK EE network), mine unbranded eu open V30 also show similar to V60 where on v30 is v31a-EUR-XX (latest stock Pie)

First thing I do with new mobile, updates: also connected it with Wifi and Mobile network, went back couple times to factory settings, no result for OTA.
I was able to update it via LG Bridge ..really strange that mine was/is not updating OTA.
when new patch is available for v60 I will check if it's doing OTA
thanks fo input!

recieved an OTA update, security patch september 1st.
installed it and now om on Software version V10n-EEA-XX.
thanks again!
Thanks for update, on mine still say v10m is latest. Didn't plugged to pc just checked on mobile.
Hello, my LG V60 LM-V600EA still has not received the security patch from September 1. I am in France where it isn't sold, I bought it on eBay (open box, new phone according to the German seller, the second screen was sealed), and English UK language, at startup (nothing abnormal).
Nothing by OTA, LG Mobile Support Tool and LG Bridge does not recognize my firmware: V10m-EUR-XX. No problem whith IMEI and serial number. I received it 10/02 but the downloaded update was July 1st.
I found this strange link on the internet: lg-roms.com(???) (I don't even know if I can trust)
The latest versions are Polish (POC) and Italian (VID) . In m we find the NLD version.
Question: if one of these rom works is it reasonable to flash by LGUP or I wait for LG to update the EUR version?
Thanks
hi, I sold mine so I cannot test or tell you on which security patch LG has pushed now to the v60. the Rom site you can trust, i've downloaded and installed the V600EA10M_00 ROM and installed it via LGUP tool. but it didn't made any difference. the software version, security patch date and build number stayed the same. Also didn't got any OTA updates..regarding the official firmware..the OTA suddenly was there when I had it in September. The LG bridge tool helped me to update it to the July sec. patch but LG Bridge tool was a bit of a ''''''[email protected]#$% to get it working correct (drivers, latetst version of the software, wasn't able to connect tpo the server error's etc) eventually it worked, but still after this no OTA....I would wait for LG to push the updates..maybe it's a comfort to know that LG is really 'lousy' with updates...couple of month's behind with Security patches is 'normal' You have to play the waiting game...Hope this helped, Best regards

Thanks for your help.
I took the risk of flashing the ROM in version n version VDI (since it works) because selling it now will not bring me much. Unfortunately (but logical) I remain in the EUR-XX version so goodbye to updates.
If the site remains update, I will always have the option of going through LGUP. Anyway VDI, POC, NLD, they are the same versions as the EUR that LG forgot (my LG V0 is however in global version EUR-XX).
Thanks again
If you read my previous post you will know by now that is nothing wrong with EUR-XX version. My current version is v10n-EEA-XX September security updates. All my updates done via OTA, mobile bought in Netherlands and still in use in United Kingdom.

The problem with EUR-XX, no update since 07/01. Nothing by OTA, LG Bridge doesn't recognize my Firmware and LGMobile Support Tool can't find a other update than m version. Nothing wrong ?
Edit: I try to install the m update and ... nothing : no upgrade to n the 11/12.2020.
You can try to remove sim card and try update without sim. I know that while ago orange UK blocked updates on some lg phones, once users insert different operator sim card mobile phone find updates immediately. I never had any issues with my v60 where this mobile is not in UK market, still working fine and update OTA.
If you still have issues try to use vpn for different country and update with lg bridge without sim card.

Unfortunately it's too late, these updates have messed up my LTE frequencies. In short, I am missing frequencies that make 4G + unstable in France. Now between 0 and 20 mb /s, before always 30/40 with EUR-XX firmware, watching YouTube has become hell without wifi,
my LG V60 is just an phone without a real LTE! (VDI, POC & NLD have this problem because I flashed in refurbish, it's my fault).
Otherwise OTA updates work fine but not beyond version m (EUR version). Now it's too late.
NB. 2 whole days trying to find a solution, I lost my time. I thought that the modem part was common between all European countries like for Samsung, with LG: NO!
