Hi,
So after selling my nexus 5, buying a G3, returning a G3 and finally getting a Z2 I'm wondering if any UK owners have got the OTA for lollipop yet. I have the D6503 Unlocked Uk (eu) version from amazon.

I too got the EU version from Amazon Italy. And yes, I got the OTA and I live in Ireland but that shouldn't make a difference..
You need PC companion to flash it though.. Connect you phone and let PC companion install drivers and as soon as its done, you will be notified of an software update..

So installing the drivers on the PC companion software will allow me to receive OTAs? Surely it will receive OTAs itself like any other phone or does the PC companion flash lollipop onto the phone, I want to avoid flashing for now during the warranty and stick to OTAs or methods which won't void anything.

Sony works a bit differently, Yes you get normal OTA's but to jump to lollipop, you need to use their PC companion. It doesn't void warranty or anything. PC Companion is an official Sony product.

Hi everyone
My name is Jose and I'm from Puerto Rico. I'm newbie in Android and need some help. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a with Android 1.6 and my phone carrier is CLARO Puerto Rico. My question is if somebody could successfully upgrade this phone from version 1.6 to the most recent version available and want to share his knowledge with me. I will appreciate that.
Regards
José Pabón
Try checking out This thread first. That has a lot of information about everything you need to know. Basically, first download the flash tool so you can easily root and install xrecovery.
If you have more questions regarding more specific steps afterwards, let us know.
Help with upgrade
Sony is releasing Gingerbread for the X10 late June or early July. You have to debrand your phone by going to DaVinci Team for $15, and them when the upgrade is available use PC companion.

Why would you pay them to do something you can easily do yourself for FREE?
Problem rooting Xperia X10 android 1.6
First of all i want to thank you for all your responses. Following the instructions in the forum, i downloaded the latest version of Flashtool available (0.6.7.0). After installed in my windows 7 (32 bits) notebook, i run the application and connect the phone. The software recognize the unit and the android version without problems. So i decide and press the root option (The unlocked padlock) and it begin to work. At the end of the process an error message appeared indicating that it can install the busybox software and its stop. The phone is working, but nothing appeared regarding if it root the unit (I think that that no), so when i ran the flashtool utility again, at this time the unlocked padlock is not available. Can anybody help me with that i will appreciate so much.
Is there still no hope for my bricked tablet?
If everyone is using condi's tool to get access to the ICS update, then there will be no zip file for me to flash so my tablet can't be fixed?
I'm running a UK device and am in the UK.
Condi's tool doesn't make impossible for an UK user to save the newly received UK's update somewhere before modding it and give you an access to that somewhere...
Just wait for the update, again and again (and again).
Condis tool worked fine for me and mine is a UK tablet and I am in UK. How did you brick it?

Try giving your tablet to service center they will rectify it....i had got mine updated to official usa ics firmware and losr 3g so I gave my tablet to service people they downgraded my tablet to 3.2hc and gave my tablet within 2days......
Ie if u cant wait for a fix or having a dead tablet beside you the above idea works good
It would cost me £70 to get it repaired.
I tried to add init.d support but set the incorrect permissions, I don't have ADB access.
I got so fed up with not having the tablet, that I went out and bought the Samsung Galaxy 7+. Alot better I must admit, but I still don't want a 349£ paperweight on the end of my bed.
If ICS is due out on the 31st for Europe, can someone get the Zip for me please in the UK?
My device has been bricked since early February now.
I want the same file. If I get it Ill upload it for you
Can anyone post this? A full Zip not the OTA file
The phone runs Windows Phone 7.5(because in my country(Bulgaria) 7.8 is not yet availiable).
Is there a way to enable bluetooth file transfer? I read that the only way is to use an app that requiers a fully unlocked phone. If this is not true please say me how to enable Bluetooth file transfer. But if it is true please tell me how to full-unlock the phone. I don't have an unlocked boot loader, but if there isn't another way I will unlock it()if it is possible). Please tell me how to do it.
you should download the latest 7.8 Firmware with navifirm, and flash it to your phone.
you don't need an unlocked bootloader for that.

Does the 7.8 firmware support Bluetooth file transfer?
Will it ruin my guarantee if I flash it without zune?
How can I do it?
- i flashed the latest 7.8 release yesterday, and the stock rom has nokia bluetooth sharing application built in
- yes, it will void your warranty

If I return the firmware to the original one using navifirm again will they notice it?
And another question: I looked in Navifirm and noticed that there is no Bulgarian version for the phone there, but the phone didn't have Bulgarian language when I bought it so I am not sure that it runs Bulgarian version now. Will it be a problem if I install Russian version instead?
Of course it's your choice what you do, but in my opinion, you should be fine.
When i had a problem and needed the warranty, then nokia always repaired it, they seem to be very "fair" in handling these things.

Thanks! I'm gonna try it as soon as the phone charges to 100%.
Hi, I just bought this phone (H960A), but unfortunately seller told me that he bought it with a contract from one of Polish mobile operator. It will be probably bloated with many their apps, and there will be no marshmallow update for a long time.
Is it possible to flash 100% stock rom? I want get update directly from LG.
And btw, is there any way to obtain a root in marshmallow? I read a plenty of threads and I didn't find any answer.

I think the MM OTA update is already available for your V10 variant.

But I'm talking about branded roms. Because of this, my father for example got the lollipop update for note 3 in the end of 2015...

It doesn't matter if it's branded or not. There is a MM update available for euro version of H960A. Just install LG drivers and LG Bridge, plug in the phone to your pc and update via LG Bridge. If, for some reason, you don't get the update like that than go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/official-software-h960a-v20a-t3354304. Download the kdz file and install with LGUP.
