I have an Xperia Arc which i tried to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 but it always says 'your phone already has latest software' on PC companion. I tried to update using the update service exe as well but that also displayed that the phone already has the latest software, which actually is not the case!
Best Regards

I try it. It works!
Hello Frnds,
Sorry I am asking a very basic question I guess but I need a simple answer.. What exactly is FOTA.. If my phone has been flashed with custom ROM, how can I get the official updates come from SE? Can I update the phone using SEUS or only the PC Companion? Please reply.. Thanks..
Firmware Over-the-Air
Thanks.. but I know the full form... but how do we update over the air? i mean does it include on SEUS or PC Companion?
No, use the update center app on your phone and check for updates.
It'll tell you the rest

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.
Hi,
PC companion doesn't want to update my rooted Z1 compact.
After PC software preparation and after I accept the "information" my connected phone powers off (step which I think is normal) and then I get the following message:
"The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated"
"Sony update Engine failure (error 2003)"
Can someone help ?
Bought my phone in March, works well, runs 4.4.2 and was rooted.
Tks in advance

flash ftf using flash tool.then root again.remember to untick data wipe if you want to keep data
ftf?
Hi Lasantha,
Tks for your reply.
It looks quite easy but could you please be more explicit. This would help greatly. I'm a idealist rooted (I think we should be able to do what we want with our phone) not I don't have a lot of tweaking knowledge.
1 flash ftf using flash tool (what is ftf ? and which flash tool would you use?)
2 then root again (was thinking to root again with towelroot
3 remember to untick data wipe if you want to keep data (where should I untick this ?)
Many tks in advance
Just use the SEUS update, via computer. Not PC Companion, but SEUS. It worked for me...

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?

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
