Ok, so after waiting a couple of weeks for an update from Bell since Sony released the firmware, I've decided to take the updating process into my own hands. Coming from a Nexus 4, waiting for updates is something that kind of frustrates me, so here is my questions:
I understand that the model bell has is the c6806. Now, will I run into problems trying to flash the stock Sony firmware from Bell's bloatwared up edition? Also, do I need a custom recovery, or can I keep stock? I really don't want to unlock my bootloader because it's taken me ages to download all the software and files I wanted... unless I do a backup, I suppose.

I also have a Z ultra from Bell and I updated manually following these instructions without issue. Just download the FTF from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921. Pick model C6806 GENERIC US.
Then follow these instructions to flash using "Flashtools" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
You don't need to download the XZU device folder because it's already incliuded in the new installation.
You don't need to unlock bootloader since it's from Sony but you won't be able to root your device and you will lost all your data. Except if you uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtools software, be it may decrease stability.
Hope this help.

OMG WAIT DON'T UPGRADE YET. I need your FTF files, because I want to downgrade to 4.2.2, I need root for everything, like my PS3 Controller for touch emulation, to get rid of the navigation bar etc etc.
So please can you extract your FTF files from your Bell Device and send it to me !!!! PLEASE !!!!!

Forget about what I said, I fixed it and BTW I just received the .290 via OTA, so you should have it now !!

Did you tried to keep root with supersu survival mode? And if so, did it work?
After hearing fo all the problems the .290 update brings (seemingly,) I think I will wait for kitkat. 4.3 jellybean isn't enough of an upgrade to justify the issues it will bring, or to lose root. KitKat definitely will be, though.

Meh, I tried but OTA failed installing each time. It fails at the begin of the install, phone reboots and tells me that it could not install the update. Probably because I have Dual Recovery and I debloated the rom ...... Oh well ... loll I'll probably try a factory reset and try the OTA again. I mean I have a nand backup anyway
I'll keep you posted

Ok I tried a factory reset and it didn't work either, the progress bar reach near middle than it reboots. I bought the app for OTA survival but can't test it cauz I can't OTA ..... still trying to figure it out.

Does your revision number and product id still matches with your CDMA? With the OTA before mine update failed, but when i matched the product id and revision number OTA suceeded.

.532?
That OTA is for .257 then. That is 4.2 Not 4.3.
You could find it in BASKOU his CDMA thread. But really doesn't matter which CDMA you use. As long it is matching. The excellent guide from Lord can also help you further. You should defenitly have a look overthere.
Hum I'm positive that it's 4.3 take a look. I'm gonna take a look at his thread thanks

Yeah, that's 4.3 Surpises me that you can update straight from 4.1 to 4.3. But thinking it over, it makes sense.

Oddly enough, I have yet to get the ota for 4.3. Been checking multiple times a day. Hopefully I don't run into issues, since I did root/ Detroit.
I received the ota because my cda product Id was changed when I flashed the Us retail. 532 so that's why you didn't receive it the build.prop you send me wasn't the same as what I had.

OTA is live, I however failed to update mine. Guessing it has to do with me debloating :/ Anyone know of a workaround?

I tried to hard reset my tablet, than I clicked reboot system now, and it's only booting to CWM.
CWM Version: v6.0.4.8
I flashed this CWM a long time ago (even forgot about it).
Tried a lot of things but neither did one work (or is outdated and the download link doesn't work)

How did you reset it, through recovery or through Settings? I remember a common issue with CWM where if you factory reset from settings it will do this. The fix is to flash stock recovery then when it boots it will automatically complete the wipe. Then it should boot, but you'll have to reflash your custom recovery.
Option B would be to use Odin to flash stock firmware, but then you have to start over from scratch.
UPDATE: Flashed a rom, still doesn't work.

It should be fine once you flash stock firmware.

I believe so. As for Odin, there are probably many tutorials on here, but it's easy enough I can give you the rundown.
1.Download Odin and download and install Samsung Universal USB Drivers.
2. Boot into download mode by holding power, vol-, and home. Press vol+ to confirm. It should say Downloading...
3. Open Odin (if Odin sees your device there will be a blue block with a com number, if not need different drivers.)
4. Load the firmware into the AP slot (PDA on older versions of Odin)
5. Then hit start, when it's done it should reboot and take a while to get to the ROM.

It's an OTA. So you need to flash clean stock firmware on your phone (the one that is on it now, hopefully January patch for Sprint, boost, Virgin, etc)
Have the update in the root of your internal storage and check for updates manually. In settings/system/system updates. It should find it and run it.
Stock system, recovery, encryption, everything.
People keep saying that one button nav is disabled on Moto. It's not. Just have to enable it in Moto app

I realize that there are some issues about global realme XT, I came to a lot of problems like others. Let me summarize some points:
1. Global version : (Ru/Eu/TW/......)
*come with NFC
the main difference between global and India version
(you can't tell between EX and EUEX) , so NFC is the key.
*cannot unlock bootloader (from os6 to os7)
If you do unlock bootloader, try to show us how.
*cannot root (unless BL unlocked)
*do not update to India Rom, if you do try this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-xt/help/realme-ui-bugs-eu-device-t4076145
*the lastest update is Android 10 ui c.01 (update a.05 to a.06 first before to c.01)
https://realmeupdater.com/downloads/latest/RMX1921EUEX/
https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX1921EUEX_11_OTA_1010_all_lZytoJtMnV4X.ozip
which is newer than India c.03 rom, I think that's why we still can update via recovery mode.

No. I think you're at A.05. Then update to A.06.
After that you can update to Android 10.

One more? When I put it on my SD card how do I install it. I'm not used to, .ozip files
Boot into recovery mode and choose update from sd card. Or just move the file to the phone memory and use phone's file explorer to open it, then the phone shall be able to update.
But wait. Some say A.05 can unlock bootloader. If you need it, test it. Maybe you have luck.

I'm not into all that anymore I spent more time on my lgv20 phone then with anything else. I do like the opinion of rooting at some point if this will root. I had a Lgv20 since 2016 loved that phone. But I'm enjoying this one a lot. I just want to be updated to the latest versions. And security patches. Thanks again for your help.
