Hello all,
Since OTA updates are beginning to be pushed out, I think this issue might deserve its own thread outside of the development thread.
Has anyone received OTA updates after they've flashed their phone to a different ROM over the original ROM?
I'm currently on my original RM-821_Polkomtel_Poland_VAR242600_v2_6_Black (059R079) ROM. I would like to flash it to an unbranded German or UK ROM, but I'm afraid that might prevent OTA updates.
Thanks in advance.

Flashing a ROM from a different product code does not affect the delivery of OTA updates. OTA updates will then be based on the newly installed ROM. Meaning if you flash unbranded German ROM you will get unbranded German ROM OTA updates

yup, I can confirm it because a few days back when I flashed the german Vodafone pre-portico rom, I got the german portico update. Was originally using EE UK firmware and flashing around to see which firmware is the most stable .
P.S: I later flashed back to EE firmware and also got the EE portico update, so flashing different ROMs does not screw up the OTA system.

You are a life saver.
So in the event that my phone needs to be repaired under warranty, will Nokia be able to tell that I've flashed my phone if I flash it back to my Polish ROM?
Thanks!

Not a problem : ) I just hope there isn't some sort of "flash counter" or something. I had an HTC HD2 and I was used to flashing all sorts of stuff on it. The Devs made it so that it was possible to return the phone to factory condition just in case.

+1, I flashed a few Roms then flashed pre portico EE rom and straight away found ota portico update. Have since gone back to CV_GB unbranded rom but still no portico update.
The only problem when you flash other ROM is that every time you backup your phone, it will show you the backup process, but really will not save the setting and app installed and every time you want to restore your phone, you may need to install and setup everything manually unless you have the original product code install in your phone. 100 %Tested.

Oh okay, I don't use the backup anyway except for text messaging. Is it safe to assume that text messaging will not be backed up as well?
Thanks!

I can't receive anything
strange, text messaging backup works even if I flash another rom (different product code). After restore, all my stuff is inside as usual...
the sms backup is not device specific.... it's synced with your live account...
I have the WP8's and all the SMS from both phone numbers are synced to both phones....
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..

Thanks all for the responses. I am glad to know i wasn't crazy. I will wait till the 15th and if I don't have it then I will go the route of switching to another region to see if I can get it that way. Much appreciated.

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)

Got it too and installed it. Yeaay, about time.
I bought my phone on dec 4th and until that time I didn't receive any updates for my phone.
I have the European PLK-L01432B121 Firmware but the only option for me is to update my phone manually which is kinda annoying.
Does anyone else experience this problem?
I didn't find anything related to my problem on xda or somewhere else...

Yes. Your not the only one. I'm in the UK and still on B121 and not received any ota updates. I'm hoping the MM ota will be rolling straight out to us this month.

Yes - unless we've done manual updates or beta tests, most of the us are probably still on B121.
Not quite sure why you think this a problem though.

A lot of people already got their Updates to B140 and B170 so I was wondering why I don't receive them via OTA...
It's a problem because I think it is very annoying to do a manual update every time a new update rolls out. When Honor implement a OTA feature, than it should work.

1. Backup with HiSuit all your stuff.
2. Factory reset phone.
3. Don´t setup any apps, just anything the setup wizard asks, including wifi and google account.
4. After completing setup, check for update.
5. After each update, repeat again from line 2.
6. At B730, restore HiSuit backup except for apps already included in the ROM.
Hi,
I have 3 Honor 5x phones in my house. One of them has got the B370 and B381 updates OTA, the other two phones don't get any update OTA after B360. I know the new updates have newer security patches so I really wanted to have them on the other two phones as well. I don't know whats going on and I can't really understand why those two phones won't see the updates. I can spot one difference between the phones, the phone that got the update has custom version CUSTC675D003, the other two phones have custom version CUSTC675D002. Infact one of the phones with custom ver 002 has been just purchased but shows no update after B360.
I spoke to the customer care guys via online chat and they said that the new phone will see the update after 15 - 20 days of updating to B360 which I highly doubt. Regarding the old phone that does not get the update, they said they will forward the complaint to tech support and they will fix the issue. It's been 4-5 days and the old phone still has no notifications for the new update.
Request someone to please throw some light on the issue....

Have already tried that, problem is that I see the B370 update listed in the app but when I click on it, an error pops up saying "the file seems to have been removed from the server" so can't download the update from firmware finder as well.
I also have the same problem. (I have B360 version & My custom version is CUSTC675D002..) When tried via Firmware finder, i got same "the file seems to have been removed from the server". Any suggestions.?

Download from where? The B370 update is not available for download on Honor's website because its not an OS update. Firmware finder says the update file has been removed from the server
Let me check if there is any link. These updates rollout in rolling manner and varies for every user, some get on 1st day and few after 2 months

Would be really great. I think I found the link to download B370 update and it seems apt for my phone. It has a number in the name of the extracted folder (67983). It matches to the number found next to the B370 shown by firmware finder for my phone. But, I am not installing it yet because I would need B381 as well because I think there were some issues in B370 which were addressed in B381 and I am damn sure the phone will not show notifications for B381 by itself and it will have to be manually done again.
I had an honor 4c which didn't show any update in 2 years and Huawei's customer care had no answer for it. I had to manually hunt for each update to bring it to lollipop and then to marshmallow from kitkat. So, I think I would definitely need B381 as well.
I am also a bit hesitant to update the phones manually because from the looks of it, it seems custom version D001 and D003 phones have got the updates OTA. The problem is with D002 only and I fear these manual updates might break something that's why Huawei is not seeding them to D002. The old 5x was updated to B360 around 2-3 months back and still haven't shown notification for B370.
It would be great if you could find a link to B381 instead of B370 and then I can try manually. Huawei's updates are like a difficult puzzle. I think I'll stay away from Huawei and Honor in the future.

Try with Firmware finder app to install B142 FullOTA. It is approved but maybe not for your imei yet.
When I last used DC (about a month ago) I did a factory firmware install, the version it then installed through OTA was B131. So you're far from alone in slow updates.
