Hi; is there an update for z3v with build N° 23.1.D.0.239 ?
i cant find it in xperifirm !!
Latest firmware for Z3v in xperifirm is 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B
Do you have the most recent Xperifirm?
This is also the latest firmware that VZW will send if you check for software updates.
yes my device shows 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B . and in right side in the same line S/O !
and it tells me that if it is S/O; i should use the software updater for the latest update so i did but i get the message error during DM session
is this officiel firmware ?

Well I have PC companion, and I can't have it find my Z3v. It doesn't even share the same screen as that. If you have it, download and share it so we can confirm it too
Its sony bridge for mac like PC companion for pc

What blows my mind is how he got that info. It really makes it interesting that he found it through Apple hardware through Sony software. Hopefully that sort of made sense.

Exactly this. Nowhere else on the internet has the update version number as precise as that. Download it, share it on here, you're making headlines everywhere. Xperiablog, GSMArena, Android Authority, etc.
Trying to see if I can access it.
However, the dang Sony Bridge application will not recognize my Z3v being plugged in

The TC is quite mysterious. He doesn't directly respond to sharing other information about it.
What I do guess is trying to reinstall the program based in a different region. Try somewhere in Europe or northern Europe. Wherever it seems that Lollipop was first released and see if the phone would get recognized there. Or even try to mimic the settings from the picture posted somehow.
I loaded this on my Macbook.
It would not recognize my Z3V either.

I set my vpn in france & london. Neither yielded a different file. I guess the program just goes off of system language (hence the French in the OP's followup)
Well I'll be damned how Verizon could just hold onto it to put bloat in it.
I updated my recently bought tablet to Lollipop. I wanted to root it before I do it, but it was some hell of a trouble for me to get root because instructions were all over the place. I gave up on it halfway, go back to Kit Kat, then flashed the official Lollipop firmware. I have to say, it feels just as smooth if not better, and the whole Material design looks dazzling. Once it's going for the Z3v, I'm pretty sure it's definitely worth it despite all that's said from experience on the Galaxy S5.
One thing I do hope they add is a Clear All button for the Recents menu. It'd be convenient, but definitely a lot more convenient on the tablet because of the bigger touchscreen area.
A Tech guy I spoke to 2 days ago (during a service call) informed me that the Z3v voLTE update is scheduled for the end of the month!
I assume that would be included in the Lollipop update?!?

Sad to say, but I don't believe a word regarding updates (much less anything else) a Verizon rep or tech says to me anymore. I guess that makes me a bitter old man. lol

I googled solutions to fix "Your device is not compatible with this version" when downloading new apps, and followed the directions on this video. My phone started having the issue described (reboot loop), so I attempted to follow the accompanying video, but could not get it to work. I figured if I did a factory reset, it would put my phone back to how it was, erasing the changes I tried to make. However, it did not fix the issue.
I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now I can't use it. I'm on a fixed income (Peace Corps volunteer on a living stipend) and spent nearly my whole month's allowance to get this phone. Right now I can't afford to take it to a Samsung store to fix it, and I'd prefer not taking it there anyway as I'm in a city that I don't live in right now which is clear across the country from my home, so if I take it there, I may have to leave before they are able to fix it.
Is there someone here who would be willing to skype-walk me through trying to fix the phone on my own? Apparently I'm not capable of doing it myself, and I really want my phone fixed.
Thanks!

And Welcome to XDA
Havent seen this posted anywhere but for those still out there with interest here it goes. I have known for a month now but didnt want to say anything until it got closer. The VZW Z2 tablet was 1st and now the Z3v is up for OTA. I haven't gotten it yet on my own but been told to keep manually trying the pull. Pull will happen first.
I had a Z4v and curious to see how well the z3v performs in comparison with the last and final build for that hardware. Z4v only had 5.0.2 also.
Advanced calling is supposed to come with this OTA.
Lollipop 5.0.2
hVolte enabled
Band 4 and Band 13 enabled(Carrier Aggregation) + Band 2 support
Stagefright patch
OS fixes
Mad
Any news on the official roll out date? And about time Z3V owners get 5.0! Wooo!!!
There never was a Z4v. Verizon never released the phone.

First off, how did you get a z4v? Also, where did you hear the news about the update?
Yes there was a Z4v. It was retail ready and shipped but then recalled. Some resellers had the opportunity to not return all stock like this one http://m.ebay.com/itm/161860311364?_mwBanner=1
I had a pre-release z4v for testing with my company MDM. I work for a Verizon business customer who tests devices and software updates to make sure they work with our mobile device management. Z4v was weeks from releasing when the hold was placed. That's all I know before it was recalled and cancelled. It worked fine with a few bugs I reported. It was fully waterproof.
I got the word to keep an eye out for the z3v update coming so I can test and now I'm waiting. Since there is a lowe number in use at my company I didn't get early access to the software update like I did for the s6 5.1.1 and the S5 lollipop update.
I just like the Sony phones and can't wait to try the official update on a few phones I have here. I don't have any interest in the pre release leaked versions out now.
I still haven't gotten the update on my two phones yet but will keep trying the manual pull.
Hopefully vzw doesn't hold the update now that the v10 and turbo 2/maxx 2 is released same week.
Mad
Holy crap, that's amazing that the Z4v is actually on sale for once. But is the seller not worried about Verizon ensuing to get their phone back or something?
And geez... that's some 100% markup.
So a ftf ought to be on the Sony github, but there isn't one. So what is the build number?
Nothing new on Xperifirm
Perhaps just like the Xperia Z2 Tablet, the build number will end with 508 as the OTA.

I'm not rooted and was able to get this to work last night using the 9.18.6 flashtool version. It works and I did not lose any data or apps. The phone is running better than ever. Once installed the flashtool has a button to go to xperifirm to get the latest FTF if you haven't already downloaded it. Here is the link: https://userscloud.com/kb6tr3bcuecr
Can you confirm that that is the final build and not an RC?

I doubt this is the final build but was tired of waiting for Verizon. Now that this was successul for me I'll just pull any new release on Xperifirm via the flashtool and install it instead of waiting for an OTA. I'm not sure how Verizon even manages these since they are 1.5gb files.
i'm new to android etc. i don't want to get in too deep in regards to roms, unlocking the bootloader etc cause it's probably above my head. however, i have friends on lollipop and it looks a lot better. so if i were to use this flashtool for sony. basically i plug in my phone, download this xperifirm and then install? sounds like there was no need to root or anything? thanks for any tips.
Does this update allow you to use VoLTE? I upgraded to this phone from a Galaxy S4 and definitely like all of the features on the Z3V more except that I cannot talk and use data at the same time.

Most likely considering it would be the official update.
Great news.
Just chatted with Verizon: (abridged)
Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team. One of our skilled Chat Representatives will be with you in a moment.
Your Chat Session ID is XXXXXXXXXX.
Hello, my name is XXXX. I’m happy to assist you with your question.
How can I help you today?
Visitor: Hello
Visitor: When is the Xperia Z3V receiving Lollipop?
XXXX: Good morning!
XXXX: We can definitely check and see when it may be getting that update.
XXXX: I am checking for you now if we have the information on when it will get the update.
XXXX: Thank you so much for your kind patience as I am researching this for you.
Visitor: Thank you.
XXXX: You are most welcome.
Visitor: I am reading insider reports that OTA 5.0.2 is on the way. Just wanting to confirm.
XXXX: Right now, we do have it confirmed that it will be coming to the devices, but we don't have a specific date to provide at the moment. Rolling out a new release takes a great deal of planning as it is important that Verizon Wireless deploy a fully tested release to avoid any customer impacting issues. Testing and approval requires input from many test organizations and stakeholders so we can ensure our reliability for our devices.

Your not telling the community anything new.
VZW petitioned the FCC for WI-fi calling because AT & T got granted it (Wi-fi calling), advanced calling 1.0 and lollipop not getting either yet is what has the community pissed at VZW.
Post about things coming with no concrete info just makes it worse.
Can someone post how to use xperifirm and flash tool with this phone
Just got an update.. Verizon Update pull should be published Nov 3rd.. it was postponed until after the weekend. I will continuously check and report back if I get it.
Mad
Checked twice so far today, nothing
Well, after months of exhaustive searching and trawling the deep dark corners of the internet, i can finally say: THERE IS NO FRICKING FIRMWARE FOR THIS PHONE!
Ok, venting done. The AT&T variant really does seem to not have any firmware available anywhere. I would like to throw this little request out there. If anyone has a line on the firmware, please please please share. It would save crap-ton of us with borked or messed up phones out there.
Thanks!
AT&T Has not released the firmware and probably won't for another year or so they are very stingy with firmware because they don't make money on repairs if someone can just fix their problem with flashing the firmware themselves

And for this very reason AT&T are A55#0L35... We probably won't get Nougat until the G6 is here or worse - we'll just be left out cold altogether like they did us with the Optimus G (didn't get KitKat, everyone else did).
Perhaps soon we should leave AT&T out of our wallets.
I thought legally they had to make it available

Ah don't worry. Already tried it. Don't. Your phone will be stuck in download mode. I have and that's the state i ended up in. Does not really matter since the phone is already borked.
AT&T can go suck on a hairy donkey knee. What sort of stupidity leads to decisions like these??? After the debacle that was my V10 from at&t, i am never buying another phone that came from them... Excepting the Nexus phones. No point whatsover

Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program.

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Do i have to download the same CDA or can i just download 1298-7260 (customized Australia)?

I got the software and all, now I'm just wondering about which firmware to download. my CDA is showing to be 1298-5153 and i only found it under E5803 showing as customized Saudi Arabia , but my phone is E5823. Do i have to download the same CDA or can i just download 1298-7260 (customized Australia)?

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
Neither of the two links work for me.

My bad I guess I posted them wrong. Try this. http://www.flashtool.net. and http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/
Yeah those work. I'll give it a try tonight, thanks!
So I got this Chinese version One ME. Since the firmware is some China Mobile modded system, its pretty useless as it is (no Google services etc...). From what I read the India firmware (0PLAIMG_HIMA_ACE_ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_India_1.11.720.6_Radio_1.1506V24P21.2008.0505_HDT[W.T]_release_437175_signed) should work on it. But I am stuck at the upgrade...
The phone is brand new, not used, not setup beyond putting going through the process to start it. I put the firmware on an SD card. I renamed the file to '0PLAIMG.zip' and put it in the root directory of the SD card. I then rebooted in Download mode and get to choose Vol up to initiate the flashing process. I then hit Power key to confirm.
However instead of going through the process, the screen goes blank - It switches off. I can reboot it to the normal system, but I cannot flash it.
I am wondering...
1. is this firmware not going to work?
2. Do I need to do a S-Off (and how do I do this? dont have a Windows machine)
3. Does it need a SIM card inside for it to update the firmware
4. Am I missing something else?
any help much appreciated!
I Think The Chinese Versions Hardware Is Different.Or Maybe It's A Copy.You can Try to Flash It on a PC or Install custom Recovery.

thanks, but as I mentioned I dont have access to a Windows PC. Whats this 'Recoveru' ? Is this a spelling error - meant to say Recovery? If so, where do I find a Recovery that works with this phone?
Thanks for correcting the spelling Error.My God I could Have Got arrested And Been jailed for About Eternity For That or Worse Hanged Till death.
Thank you for enlightening Me with the Gracious Knowledge of English.
You saved My Life And For That.Now To The Post.
Let's First Consider the chinese phones they have a completely different user interface and very often also a different hardware that better fits the Chinese mobile networks and might not work as well outside of China.
Google is also blocked in China, therefore you won't be able to access most google services on a Chinese phone and there is no google app store in the Chinese phone. For that reasons,Chinese phones are NOT SOLD outside of China.
People based outside of China should buy the ROW version of the phone.
Unfortunately, some people buy the Chinese phones, root them, modify them, add bloatware, and sell them online to customers outside of China.
Unsurprisingly, phones that are modified in such a way do not run the original version of the software intended by Lenovo. Cannot be updated to new software release, or if you update them you will end up with Chinese firmware.
Now for your Phone Custom Recoveries and ROMs are available But They Will also End Up Like The ROM.
But If the countries Have Matched Hardware Or The Phones are Specifically Designed For Your Area You might Succeed In Doing So.
But With Some Major Changes To the Hardware could Result In Some Bad Manner.
Now You can Backup your firmware on a PC and try To Unlock Your Phone Then Flash The Firmware.

No problem, glad to be of help! (actually was thinking there might be some software/app or process called Recoveru...) Not been flashing stuff for a while, and last time did Xiao Mi's, so the process is probably not the same...

I am well aware of that, as I have been living here in lovely China for rather too long... but thats another story. Perhaps consider for a second that I may have got this phone for a present, use it not only in China, but also outside, and believe I can make it work like any international HTC... So, now back onto the actual problem:

Right, so you mean it could work, but again, it may not. Perhaps worth trying a variety of ROM's if what I am doing is correct (the flashing procedure I mean). I guess I wanted to make sure I am not missing something in the flashing procedure, as I have never flashed a HTC before.
thanks anyhow! I do appreciate it

Having Exotic Hardware Do Mean Exotic Experience(Sometimes not In a good way)
Having a Chinese Device Doesn't mean You can't flash a Different Regional Firmware On it.Maybe The Firmware files Got Mixed During Downloading(Correct Term Corrupted).Sometimes It do Work.I had a Note 3 a Few Years Ago.I bought it during a Trip to KSA It had a Different Firmware KSA version to be Specific,I just Downloaded My region's Firmware and Flashed It via Odin.No Unlocking bootloader no S-off no storage Protection that is why I do prefer Samsung Or Nexus Over other Companies Due to Their Open Source Software and Having a Unlocked Bootloader and hardware Being Literally Identical In Different Regions.
