So I imported a Z5c at launch from Clove. Waiting for an OTA software update for MM and I'm thinking I may just keep waiting and waiting if I'm not proactive.
Should I set my location via VPN to London and try PC Companion?
My bootloader is locked, not really interested in futzing with the DRM.
Any other suggestions?
According to Xpericheck, the Customized UK MM update is available as of this morning. I'm in the US with the same firmware on my Z5C and it's downloading now via Sony PC Companion (no OTA was available for me.) Good luck!

Just received a new Xperia Ray locked to Orange. I have tried both the software update service and PC companion but both say my phone is up to date on 2.3.4.
The sony site says an upgrade is available for the phone (I even followed the link and upgraded my wife's Arc-S last night) but directs to install PC companion.
Orange suggest using the update function on the phone but none of these are updating; they all say I have latest firmware.
I checked the SI list and my code isnt there (well, not entirely) its SI 1254-3795.5
That last bit after the hypen doesn't relate to anything in that list.
Any idea how I can get it updated without rooting? Although there is a bit of Orange shovelware on there I would like to lose.
Phone was bought on 10th May from Orange online.
ICS 4.0.3 has been distributed to all ray a month ago. A new ICS 4.0.4 is rolling out but there are numerous people claiming their SI number are in the list but update service says they have the latest firmware. I for myself has that problem. This must be a problem from sony server.

Is there any way of getting the firmware and flashing it legally?
I presume from the Orange shovelware I mentioned that I am going to have to wait for Orange to release an update (complete with more of their stuff I dont want)?
Just found this on the Sony support forum:
Even if SI numbers are added for the cell phones, updating the phones will not be possble, as Sony Xperia Support team Member Johan, said that there's some problem with the server, and so people runining GB currently will not be able to update using PCC or SUS. We need to wait, for the update to resume again, and all the problems with the servers removed.
Looks like patience is needed or I flash manually...
Or if your phone is branded, the operator might have blocked the updates for your phone. Then you have to contact Orange.
Can I flash it manually with the Nordic firmware without unlocking anything or rooting?

I've got the same problem with my Orange UK Ray, my issue is that's it's on a contract through work so I'm not sure I'm allowed to update the software unless I use the Sony website.
I contacted Orange to find out if they have a date for ICS on the Ray, they quoted "end of the year - more likely December rather than November"! I'm desperate for ICS, does anyone know if I void the contract if I upgrade to ICS by flashing the Nordic software?

I have an Orange UK Xperia Ray and got bored of waiting for ICS so I flashed mine to a stock 4.03 Central European firmware, which then updated to official 4.0.4 through PC Companion. This was a couple of months ago but Maps / Navigation is not as stable as GB, having frozen a couple of times so have mixed feelings. Flashing different firmware to the one it shipped with invalidates your warranty AFAIK...
If anyone has a copy of the UK Orange FW for SI 1254-3795 in .ftf format I would appreciate it for the stability and warranty, seeing as an official update is on the horizon.
Has anyone from the UK had an update yet?
nothing here so far.
someone on the sonymobile forums claimed that the uk update was released but fails to install?
i've tried update from the phone, update via website, update via pcc and update via sony update service.
none of the above give any different results, it always says that my phone is already up to date.
No update as yet for the UK.

PVC said there was an update on my 1257-3114 today, but when I attached the phone it said I was up to date
should now have rolled out, does any one have the FTF?
Isn't the Sketch 4.1 app update available for German generic software via OTA on Update Center? At first my phone was Vodafone DE branded and I thought maybe that's why I didn't get the update but I flashed the German Generic software and still no official update. I got the Info-Eye 1.4.10 update just when it was announced so what's the deal with Sketch? Has anyone with German Generic software actually got this update officially? I know I can just install apk but I want to know why it is not available officially on my device?
The version of Sketch on my UK EE branded phone is 1.0.A.4.9
Hello people,
I didn't want to wait for the 4.4.4 update for unbranded Dutch Z2 so I flashed the German version.
Will I still be able to receive an update via OTA or PC Companion if it is available?
Or do I have to upgrade manual?

You should be able, but if not, worst case scenario is manual
If your BL is locked u will keep receiving updates, if your BL is unlocked not, if you relocked your BL after unlock i don't know
This is for Xperia users who haven't received the marshmallow update yet.
1. Install the PC Companion Software
2 Check for updates
3. If no updates are found, backup your data and do a software repair
This method worked for my Xperia M4 Aqua (E2333)
P.S Prior to performing a software repair, install Xperiafirm software and see whether an update is released to your phone by matching the CDA number.
This does not work. Please do not do this, it will save you hours of waiting.
Instead use flashtool, method here
Worked for my E2353 model
This worked here in Australia.
