My Z5 Compact is not yet updating to nougat? How long does the roll out take? I don't know which region is my phone too. the updater always says I'm on the latest firmware. any help?

if there no ota update then use xperia companion and update that way. I also was waiting to update my wifes phone and it never came, companion updated it perfectly

Companion says my phone is up to date

There are indeed some region/operators which roll out no nougat fw yet.
It would really help to know the region of your firmware.
To find out, open your dialer and type: *#*#737842#*#*
then go to service info, software info and tell us what it says for customization version.
Then we will be able to tell you if there is a newer version.
If not, i would recommend to install another region via flashtool.
there are a lot of guides how to do. for example :

Because for customized sg the last version available is 32.2.A.0.305.
Flash another region via flashtool, like i said, if you want nougat

Normally it shouldn't matter which one you use.
You could try the australia customized. It's usually the one which gets new updates first

Guess they heard your prayers, .376 is now up for Customized SG.
You can check here, usually reliable: https://xpericheck.com/device/E5823

New Firmware 6.0.A.3.73 rolling out

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.

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.

[Q] Xperia Tablet Z2 (SGP512) - Still no 4.4.4 Update

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)

New update for Global Stable Rom(v8.2.5.0.MCFMIDL)

Hey everyone, tomorrow I got notification to install a new update for Global Stable Rom (v8.2.5.0.MCFMIDL). The update is rather small (21M) and with on descriptive change log(only says 'Fixed Bugs') . Is it safe to install MIUI updates on top of my rooted phone with TWRP and exposed installed. I installed all previous updates via fastboot method, but I really don't wanna go through all the trouble for such small incremental update.
If someone has tried it please do share your experience.
Regards.
Has anyone installed this update?
Yeah I did, and you can't install an Ota on a rooted phone,

It's a Beta Stable version for random users.
Bad choice by Xiaomi to propose to upgrade to guinea pig users in the stable branch.

Battery life with pie

Hi, since my update to pie one week ago, my battery drops enormously. From 5 hours of screen with oreo, now it only can last 2/3 hours. I've done the system repair from companion to have the update so the factory reset maybe has already been done. Any suggestions?
My build is 47.2.A.0.306

You may want to check Xperia check or if you have flashtool with xperiafirm look to see if there is an updated version for your device.. As .306 was the first release, but be warn Sony has released Pie firmware in a scattered brain fashion, so depending on you model and region it may be available or may not..

Read the last part of my post.. As we don't know which model or region your in (info not supplied in your Op) check on xperia check and see if there is an update for your model or region.. If there isn't, then either A) wait for the ota. B) test out another regions firmware..

Ota can take a bit of time, but you don't need to root if you're just going to flash firmware.. You can either use flashtool or newflasher read here ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426/amp/ ) if you go the newflasher route just download xperia firm to get your firmware.

My Xperia BC72 f/w is Global-C2-user so I do not know which version it is. Somebody on XDA says that it is HK version. I do get OTA update so it should be the native region.

Global C2 is HK, you are right. It comes with all Google services and apps installed from the box, and if you get OTA it is your native f/w.
Chinese (NOT HK or TW!) XQ-BC72 devices comes without Google apps from the box, however, it does has Google services inside the f/w, and you can install Google apps (market, gmail, youtube e.t.c) manually with no problem, so it won`t be almost any difference between HK and Chinese rom after you install the apps manually by yourself.

Yes, you can flash updated f/w with Newflasher from any XQ-BC72 to any QX-BC72 with no problem, but you must remember the main thing - OTA update system stops working on non native f/w!
I don`t see any reason for you to flash your HK device to China f/w, it doesn`t have any sense. But to flash Chinese device to a global ROM (HK, TW, SEA, RUS...) definitely makes sense if only OTA system could work after that (((

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree with you that it does not make sense to flash Chinese f/w to HK f/w. It just that I do not like the look of Google apks and the Google calendar does not have a year view. You are right, losing OTA update is a problem. I will just disable the Google apks and chose some other equivalent apks.

You won't get bootloop if you set actice slot A before flashing, the exact command for this look in the instructions please.
And i highly recommend to you to make a f/w repair procedure with Xperia companion, after Newflasher flashing.

If I make a f/w repair procedure with Xperia companion will my phone get back the HK f/w. I just want to try different f/w. I am using mate 40 rs now, the xperia 1 iii is just one of many phones I try out. Thanks for your reply.

I've got you. Yes, you can try to flash CN f/w on your HK device, but it doesn't make any sense. CN f/w is poor, it doesn't have any google apps pre-installed, however, it does have a google services, you just need to install g apps manually by yourself.
Try SEA f/w instead od CN
I just like to try f/w with different apps instead of g apps. If the SEA f/w is similar to HK f/w with g apps then I am not so interest in it unless it has some features different than the HK f/w.

Would you tell me, please, your device was Chinese BC72 out of the box?
You won't get bootloop if you set actice slot A before flashing, the exact command for this look in the instructions please.
And i highly recommend to you to make a f/w repair procedure with Xperia companion, after Newflasher flashing.

My device is HK BC72 out of the box (I think) since the software info says GLOBAL-C2-user. I am afraid that if I flash a previous software version I might get boot loop due to anti roll back. I just had a hard brick on my Mi 11 due to flashing an android 12 version. I do not want to brick my new xperia so soon. I should be able to fix the boot loop using Xperia companion right?

I would have done that if the CN version is also 61.0.A.14.3. I do not want to brick the phone due to anti roll back.

Not everyone bootloop can be fix by XC recovering. If you will flash the device without changing slot, you won't be able to repair the device with XC, for example.
There's no anti roll back protection on Xperias, as i know. You may flash the older f/w back with no problem, just chande to slot A as active before flashing.

I flashed back my device from newer RU f/w to older CN f/w, and it flashed great. After that i made a companion repair, and now i'm using it.
