Like in my question. Is there OTA update for UK generic or I'll just have to wait till it's released? My 2.3.3 phone is rooted and I don't want to lose it when updating via SEUS.
I'm on UK generic and no ota update for me yet
I flashed back to 2.3.2 and only get the first update not the 4.0 fw
Only a matter of time though I guess
Got it in Canada yesterday
Just got it for UK generic. Downloading it as I type.
Me too, patiently waits for the OTA update here, good thing they already released it yesterday.. I'm using UK generic too. TS, the availability of the OTA update depends on your place.
can someone confirm OTA update is available for the uk ?, i updated via pc companion and lost root but so I am waiting for OTA to become available
cheers
does root work if you OTA from 2.3.2 to the 2.3.3 (xloud frimware) ?

Yes i received the xloud update (4.0.a) last night over ota and root is still kept. Uk r800i.
If you flash 2.3.2 again then root and ota it will update you to the xloud firmware with root.
1 question do i have to unfreeze all bloatware before i can perform OTA for the new firmware 4.0?
Thanks
Yes you do or else the update will think you have uninstalled them. Just make a list of what you have frozen. Unfreeze > ota to 4.0.a then refreeze whats on your list plus a few other new things.
I just received the upgrade via OTA i guess is to 4.0 since i already have 2.3.3 and the size is 78 mb. I downloaded it correctly, it try to update but after 3 reboots (normal reboots the phone does it itself) it says that could not update, does anyone nows why? I have a rooted Xperia Play and it isnt unlocked.
PD. Everything seems okay it didnt mess up anything, just didnt update correctly.

Same here on my GF Play, I just removed bloatware. Any help?

I bought my At&T Play this summer off ebay (probably a model handed out at a developers conference). It came rooted already, been using it fine. After hearing about the new update for HD video recording I went to update and realized I hadn't updated from 2.3.2.
Now, I know updating will unroot the device but I am pretty sure I don't use any of the rooted-features. Do I need to unroot before updating the device or can I just go ahead and update? I just want to avoid any issues from updating a rooted device.
make sure the bootloader is LOCKED! If you deleted any SYSTEM APPS you would NOT be able to update!
If the ota update is available for you then you can update and keep root but as Cat_On_Droid has said if you have uninstalled anything off the phone then ota updating will not work.
You will have to reflash to stock (2.3.2) > root > ota to be rooted on the latest fw. It all depends though if your provider has relased the new update for ota. Im not sure what the developers At&T device is running, maybe world generic?
If you update using pc companion or anything other than ota it will wipe your phone so no need to unroot when updating. I have used pc companion and seus to update before with a rooted phone and it just wipes the phone and reinstalls whats missing when it updates.
As Cat_On_Droid has also said make sure your bootloader is locked. If you update normally using PC companion, SEUS or ota with an unlocked bootloader it will brick your phone.

I have the One X from HK and am using it in India. I rooted and unlocked the device but am still on the stock rom and software version 1.26.708.2 - Which OTA update applies to me? I'm not able to force the update on the phone (keeps spinning when looking for update) - Do I have to un-root and re-lock in order to get this OTA update? Sorry if this is a repeat question...

The newest one is 1.28.708.10. I live in Australia and I have the same phone as you (from HK) and I got the OTA update yesterday (1.28.708.10). I did re-locked my phone and ran the RUU 1.26.708.3 before I did the OTA update.

Is it because I'm in India that I haven't gotten the update yet? Is it carrier specific?

I don't think it's carrier specific. Because when I bought my 2nd One X (Optus handset) and I use a Telstra sim card I still got the Optus update for my handset. And I didn't have any sim card on the HK handset when I got the OTA update I only had the wifi turned on and downloaded the OTA update via wifi.

Just a reminder that you need to be on a "stock" ROM unrooted and have stock recovery and locked bootloader. Personally I would go back to full stock (bootloader locked, stock recovery and stock ROM) and then you can try to update. I'm not sure but being rooted even if you are using stock ROM might give you the problem of not seeing the OTA update, but saying that I am not 100% sure if being rooted can create that problem. It is better to be on all stock is just my opinion.
Still on 1.26
Hi guys, I still haven't updated my phone to 1.28 or 1.29. Running 1.26, still rooted and unlocked. Is the best option for me to re-lock bootloader and use the 1.29 RUU file to do a manual update? Having issues with battery so want to do this asap, thanks for any help.
Finally updated
I was able to finally update after re-locking, putting back stock recovery and using RUU to get to 1.29. Titanium backup is pretty awesome and came in handy to restore phone to almost original state, thanks for your help.
I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

DO NOT OTA
you want to be on 4.3, just use the one click method, this way you dont have the locked bootloader

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...

I was on 4.2.2 rooted 6506 and tried to do the rogers 4.3 upgrade through ota and it downloaded the file rebooted and began to install and then failed. Any others having this problem. If so did u resolve and how? I want to use the ota method because supposedly it preserves root.

Are you kidding me, are you saying that Rogers released through OTA their modified C6506 4.3 firmware before Sony even pushed out the generic 4.3 via PC Companion for the C6506 model.
THIS REALLY BLOWS MY MIND....having a little trouble believing it

Wow, impressive. Carriers are usually slow to release updates. I'm still going to wait for the generic 4.3 update from Sony. I really don't like the bloat-ware Rogers installs. I believe root will be able to be obtained with Nut's DualRecovery method just like the tablet Xperia Z.
Your way to preserve root is a 50/50 chance. It worked on previous firmwares but since your system files have been modified, it may be the reason why the update gets interrupted.
To root the tablet Xperia Z from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 was via OTA just like you are trying to do (survival mode) but I don't think it works anymore on 4.3
Good Luck!!
Survival mode in SuperSU worked for me when going to 4.4.2 from 4.4 stock on my N7.
Not sure about 4.3.
I am now on a rooted generic US rom and on a Rogers ZL and I'm still waiting. Hard to believe Rogers released anything at all...

There is an option if you unlock superSU pro (you can unlock the app from the playstore for free). You tick it and system tries to preserve root after an OTA update. Didn't worked for everyone but oh well, Nexus 7 is so easy to root anyway! ?

Sony Canada just posted up on FB that they have 4.3 on PCC.
I tried it with my ZL c6505 but no update popped up.
I just checked on PCC and it is still telling me I have the latest firmware. I'll keep checking throughout the day.
Fingers crossed!
I got my 4.3 last night and it came through the air without PCC
Wow shocking for rogers. They usually suck I'm in rogers and I hate them but good to see updates.coming.fast for once

Has anyone been able to update a Rogers ZL to 4.3 and either keep root, or get root
(with the NOT-unlockable boot loader).
I have been seeing the OTA alert for a week now, but I don't want ot risk loosing Titanium and Xpose Framwork.
Thanks,

How can I get back on Stock Rogers 4.2.2? where could I find this FTF I want to get off this generic 4.3 and update it the proper route
Has it started yet?
yes look on flashtool xperifirm E6853_Customized AU_1299-1469_32.3.A.0.376_R3D
What exactly does that mean? I don't want to flash it, not really sure how. I'm just waiting for the OTA to come to my phone already... I'm wondering if anyone else in Australia has received the OTA?
I have come to many countries, I guess I do not use it. You can download it using flash tool. To make the above narration device root.
