Plugged in my Z1c to my Mac and now I have an update ready for me. Im assuming its for KitKat. But I have read a lot of threads saying there are a lot of problems. So should I just stay on Jellybean then? Will these problems be fixable by another update if Sony does respond to these problems? If not i'll be staying on 4.3 for a while then. ha
I dont have any issue with 4.4.2

Everything is fixable by Sony, should they wish to do so
That said, I've been running KitKat (UK unbranded) for a week now without the kinds of issues reported by others - only the crackling notifications, but I can live with those and it's pretty certain Sony will fix that sooner rather than later. So YMMV.
I'm new to Sony phones, but tbh this kind of rigmarole over updates has been the same with *every* Android OEM I've been with so far. HTC even pulled their KK update for the One Mini within days because of its bugs, and over a month later they still haven't put out a fixed version ... hopeless.
I am since sunday with the KK and no issues at all, my battery runs ok, ram memory got better and phone calls and camera no problem.
i made by OTA with no wipe. for me looks prety safe, i think most people who run in some problem are those who unlock bootloader or mod the phone.
I am not rooted or so, waiting a good reason to do it(4K video recording could be one)

I just think this maybe is cause the problem of most people here, my opnion, the only one i ocasianly have is that when I answer a phone call auto go to loudspeaker, but i had that so often with 4.3 that had with 4.4 looks the same(some people say to disable chrome thats dont happen anymore)
auto mode was a catastrophe already on 4.3. my batery is runing good and i play dead trigger 2 and GTA with no lag.
for me, personaly, the update is ok
Until now i didn't find any bugs, what i did was... updating to 4.4 and after install it i did a factory reset. It runs smoothly with no problems until now.
All of those have "NO" problem with KK bug, short survey below.
Are you: -
1. Rooted?
2. Unlocked Bootloader?
3. OTA update?
4. PCC update?
5. Factory Reset after update?
6. Flash using flashtool?

I flashed the UK unbranded with Flashtool. This option should be added to your list.
I do have crackling notifications though - although strangely only with the Sony supplied ones, the Hangouts sounds are always fine. The ways of Sony are mysterious
So I upgraded to KitKat. Seems fine right now except my camera freezes. Any fix around this?

Sorry if this question has been asked, but I'm curious. Samsung has released 2.3.6, and I'm hoping my issues of LOS, games crashing and charging issues get resolved.
So, I am wondering: If and when update is available and I accept, does it uprooted my phone or brick it?
I'm running Calkulin Rom and Kernel....

You received an over the air update notification?
No, you say?
Whatever file you downloaded, delete it. Its for the i9100. We have the SPH-d710

My question is when the ota update does come, what happens IF I accept?

simple; you lose root, and possibly brick your phone
I was browsing around yesterday and found that it locks you out of being able to get root on the gsm phones. Haven't herd of the cdma update yet. The at&t phone had security issues that et2 did not. Don't chew me out if I'm wrong.
Yes, in most ota plan to lose root.

So, I'm curious about the new sony 4.4.2 firmware. I'm presently on 4.3(10.4.B.0.569) stock sony, not rooted yet. C6506, Locked bootloader allowed = no
Is there a chance that the update change the status of the bootloader allowed to yes?
Is there good chance that I will be able to root my ZL, in a near futur, if I take the update?
And switch to Existenz present or next rom?
Should I just dont take the update, root, install present existenz rom and patiently wait for existenz rom to switch to 4.4.2?
I'm presently moving house so I probably won't have time to work on the phone before one month.
So what do you guys think ?
Sorry for my english

Bootloader unlock allowed: no. so you definitely cant unlock bootloader.
near Future root. i really doubt. as you can see the development is slow for this phone.
however you can downgrade and root your phone and take OTA and preserve root till 101. but i have no idea about KIT KAT as i didnt get it yet.
Sony stock rom is really good. i used the stock rom without root for a year, since its been a year i unlocked and currently on CM11 latest nightly. just to try something different.
if you are asking question here regarding the update. i would definitely suggest you to update as you wont find better rom than stock for the time being.
So go ahead and update and tell us about it. (still waiting for update notification here)

First, thank you very much for your response :highfive:
Do you mean that it's possible to downgrade after the update if I want to? Via flashtool?

Yes, it is possible to downgrade after the update using flashtool
You will need to have the ftf for the software version you want to go back to for the hardware version you have.

So I took the update, played a little bit with it.
Very fluid, maybe a little bit more than before.
The look of the new drawer is cool, but parameter are one more click away via drawer.
In parameter section, it feel's more sluggish than before.
No double tap to wake :crying:

My battery is totally being eaten up since I got the update. I've had the phone a few weeks. Love it to death but I was literally watching the battery percentage drop as I was checking my mail today. Maybe after a few more hard resets this newest update will settle down.

Hi
my xperia is currently 4.1.2 android and I want to update to the latest version
but whenever I try to do so, after the computer is prepared and firmware downloaded it reboots my phone then comes up with an error message saying that my phone contains modified software and hence can't be updated. My phone is purely stock and contains nothing of the sort so I factory reset it to make sure and I get the same response.
I also cannot update directly from the phone as it tells me to use a computer
Why is this problem occurring?
thanks for the help

Well here it is.
It happened at 5am took about 15min to complete.
So far nothing weird, phone still smooth as butter and faster than Ricochet Rabbit.

Never saw it go down this low after running Smartmanager.

Great! Let's hope this doesn't patches up the root exploits.. anyone can confirm?
Can anybody try whether OF8 can be rooted using unikernel?

Took about the same amount to update mine... It seems faster, dont know exactly what the changes are but i thought it would of included samsung pay
I received the update as well. coming from 5.02 the update package was around 600 something mbs to download. No huge differences shooting out to me just yet but time will tell
Depending on your carrier the size of the update will vary, as you can see on screen shot my tmobile update was 102.97 mb.
I was on 5.1.1 OTA stock firmware.

I would read carefully and compare to other maybe more current procedures before attempting.

Any update for the Stock Camera app, guys?
Apparently it's an update to fix issues with the battery and various bugs. Just updated gonna see what it's all about today.
Make way for all the battery life and memory question. Oh and RAW as well. That seems to be a popular topic these days.
Installing now. Coming from COF6 it was 102.97mb download. Hopefully it fixes my phone. It's been laggy as can be and had tons of battery drain.

Doesn't appear to be any change, and the app still reports as Version 4.0
I'm currently rooted on 5.0.2 - what would be the best method to update to this version while keeping root (if possible). Thanks in advance!
Just got my update also. I will update on how it runs by the end of day.

If you also care about keeping Knox in tact with root on this OF8 5.1.1, you're simply out of luck. If you don't care, flash the OF6 Odin image and then check for system updates (or just wait for this OF8 image to be posted). Then install TWRP and/or the latest Unikernel.

Unikernel roots this ROM, no problem there. You are right that people coming from OCG need to be very careful they enable OEM unlock in developer options before they root, though.

Some folks that "odined" OCG didn't have the option in developer options to turn on OEM unlock.
So for them its extremely risky.

The international variants received the OGx update today as well. One site said it was the first post 5.1.1 update but I recall them getting the update that tmobile pushed out today (OF8) about a month ago. Are we now one update behind?

Better late than never. I'm still on the .197 update, the updates after that ruined my top speaker, it stopped working, so I downgraded back to .197. no idea what A13 will do, it's just so much hassle downgrading and having to set the phone up again. Would be good to get your feedback on A13
mind if you share how you downgraded your phone to .197?

To be honest with Rog2 was much easier. I can't figure out what's the problem with Android Auto (crashes) but voice typing started working magically on its own. Never had problems with hardware luckily.

Sorry for double-posting, but just following up - I updated from WW-32.2810.2210.220 (skipping WW-32.2810.2212.241) to WW-33.0610.2810.72, and can confirm it to be working without data wipe.
Also, it resolved the sound issue, where after placing/receiving a call, the bottom speaker would be much louder than the top speaker during any media audio.

Hey bro, I just bought a ROG 6, I'm gonna manually update the phone, my cuestion is, wich firmware version is the best? (Already on 134) I don´t mind if isn't the lastest version, I just want to know wich is the most stable/recommendable version, you said the 197 is a stable one, I think the 241 should work great because is the last android 12 update, can you confirm? Do you recomend the lastest android 13 version? (WW-33.0610.2810.81) Or, in your experience wich is the most recommendable one?
Sorry for so many cuestions
Thanks
