[Q] Software update from 2.3.2

Hi there,
have docomo's japanese Xperia Arc and get a notification that a software update is available. I can download it fine and it tries to install, but then always says failed.
I rooted the phone with Gingerbreak, could that be the reason?
Will it work if I try with SEUS instead of over the air?
Thanks

It is unrelated to "root".
Yes, use SEUS instead.

Thanks for the reply and that link. Looks like a good update. Will need to install windows on a virtual machine unfortunately to use SEUS.

@vladuz976, after rooting, did you remove some of the bloatware? If so, OTA update will not work for you and you'll have to use SEUS. Else you'll have to flash 2.3.2 again with FlashTool and then update OTA (if your bootloader is locked).

Yeah deleted bloatware. That explains it. Thanks

Which phone you've got? The official ICS update is currently available only in Nordic countries, so it's normal not to be able to install it yet, if you don't have a phone bought from there.

Im trying to flash the nordic ics with flashtool but im having no luck. i figured it might be because i have doomkernel v21 on my phone. i closed seus and restarted it and all models are showing again. however when im trying to reinstall the firmware i have already via seus or pcc i get an error and so now im stuck.

[Q] Need help for new sony xperia M software update

Hi frnds I can't get the new software update for my xperia M,Please help me how to install it

You will recieve your update for your update center automatically and update it. And the next moment you will recieve 4.3 update for your phone.

You must connect your phone to the computer and update using pour companion

There is always Sony Update Service which will provide the latest firmware.
You can even use the downloaded Sony Update Service to create your own tft file for later use in Flastool.

I already answered it in your other question

Cannot verify update

I'm currently on stock. 757 firmware and before two days I had a notification about updating to the latest 14.4.108 firmware. Problem is that no matter if I download it through WiFi or 3g, It kept showing that "cannot verify update ", and nothing happens. Anyone else has this? Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated...

I have the same problem.
And also I have problem to update it with PC companion software.
I have no idea what next...

Same here via OTA, maybe it`s because of root.....
But i did the update with PCC without problems - and nothing was wiped!

Root is not the problem. Mine is not rooted but still the problem insists. Even pc companion couldn't update the device. WTF?
Plus, I even factory reseted but nothing changed...

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Bootloader is locked. Just have root.

locked bootloader , no root at all

I had the same problem with OTA.
PcCompanion did update but my Z1c crashed now often.
So I flashed the ftf with flashtool and this time it worked perfect.
I came from .757, rooted and locked bootloader.
Now rooted again with Easy Root Tool v8

So there is no way to get ota or companion to work properly? Only way out is flashtool and ftf file?

Well I try PC companion app on other computer and it did update without problems.
I can see the difference in OS (Windows 7 vs. Windows 8) and installed ADB drivers on not working computer.

u got recovery? if yes u can't update by OTA because of changed bootloader
http://www.sonymobile.com/pl/tools/update-service/ this is better for official updates but i think u will need flash ftf
im not an expert just found this info ;P

Hi
Are you root your device?
If yes you can't update your device with Xperia companion only con repair your device and all personal data will be erased.

Nope not rooted and haven't unlocked bootloader either. 100% stock condition. Xperia companion says update available but when i click uodate it starts download then after 1 min it gives error. So guess i have to wait for ota. Anyone got ota? When it might release?

Im my case xperia companion saids that I have newest software. It's because of root or it is not available in my country yet ?

You will make sure you Internet connection is OK
Uninstall Xperia companion and Sony mobile update engine
Download latest Xperia companion app from Sony support an try again
If you not able to flash your device with Xperia companion you will try by latest flash tools version and device sync successful otherwise you device will breake

I flashed the Nordic version from Xperifirm. Did not delete any of my personal files, apps or other permissions. Working flawlessly so far. It's a really big upgrade compared to Lolipop in terms of speed and general polish. Really well executed firmware.

It says make sure you have working Internet. But net connect is 100% ok. And its stable i even play online games, fully stable connection and no package loss either. As soon as i connect it says update available and when i start updating it starts download then gived error. Tried reinstalling and everything still no luck

If i flash Nordic version over the Poland one it will work OK?

Did you allow Flashtool to execute the FSC Scirpt? Mandatory!

Yes. Phone already fixed by xperia companion and waiting for official update

Why would anibody try flashing a stock rom with unofficial softwares/tools it's not safe guys, just wait for official release of your specific phone.My m5 is E5603 I've got an update via OTA the next day it was released and it worked fine downloaded and installed it took abaout 30 min to install but.The update is a 1gb large...

You are lucky . When I launch xperia companion it says that there is an update but 5 seconds later it says that my device is up to date.

Because some want an unbranded release maybe? And who says it's unsafe? More tricky but not unsafe. Have a look at XperiFirm, some devices don't even ever got 30.1.A.1.55 so the wait for MM can last forever...

My device never got. 55 but i still got MM.

Perfectly fine if you know what your doing and if you can follow simple step by step instructions and maybe even a few days reading things through first so it makes sense. Never had a problem myself and I'm no expert by any means. Problem is far too many people who probably shouldn't be messing with there phones in the first place go rushing off into rooting, flashing, Bootloader unlocking ect then screwing up sometimes irreversibly

That's the thing,a lot of people do that mistake and don't follow instructions and they end up with bricked phone.I did alot of bootloader unlock with older xperia phones,rooting,recoverys,custom rom/kernels and never got my phone bricked,but those smartphones were qualcom not mediatek,i had acer e700 with mediatek and everytime i tried flashing with unofficial tool i ended up with hard brick,dead motherboard.That is way i'm saying using flashtool is risky, i'm not sure is it still completely compatible with M5,and even if it is you need an exact version for M5.

disable quickboot on your M5.

It seems that i can't get it via software update on my phone but now it shows in experia companion will try it as soon as my phone reaches 50% battery
