So what is the new installed version?

Just came home and checked, PC companion states that it's 3.0.1.A.0.146

Seeing I have some important data that I don't want erased ( and I'm too lazy to back it up ), I'll pass on this update until other users report exactly what's in it.
And as for you who got .146, another user already uploaded rooted img, be sure to thank him.

[Q] Flash 2.3.2 Global>Root>OTA update?

Hello,
Has anyone tried to flash 2.3.2 global, root it, and is OTA available for 2.3.4?
Anyone taught of that?
I haven't tried yet cause is there any app to backup phone settings and phone memory? from SE?
I CONFIRM THIS WORKS + ROOT REMAIN
Regards

AFAIK, no OTA available yet for 2.3.4...
+ OTA for the update before this was only for HK and UK ( and Germany if i'm not mistaken ), no world generic or other region... so we might guess that the OTA 2.3.4 will take too much time to go for the firmware version of choice...
some guys already converted to HK version as it's the fastest one to update...

I had the Germany version and till yesterday evening there was no OTA update...
but now the phone is not working after upgrading to 2.3.4 and than downgrading back to 2.3.2 global and rooting it

I have seen a lot of people including myself had their phone ****ed up by downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 and root. I suggest you to wait till there is a solution for this problem.

I am tired of flashing my phone back and forth and getting really frustrated. So I went to SE, told them the phone was dead and play dumb. They gave me back the phone with a new motherboard. Now I am using 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 HK ROM

From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2/2.3.3, try this:
There is no problem with UK.184 -> Root and OTA to .368 (no need remove battery even).
Also no problem if I want 2.3.4 again, then I flash Nordic_Telia branded.238
-Tried two times already, cause I couldn't decied which one I wanted.
Hope it helps

See in 2.3.4 thread. I think i saw it there. There was somene who said its available by ota.
And .ftf is here in xda, search for it...
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Yes, it is available now OTA with Root (happy), but I want to argue about people calling it Generic_World firmware all the time here on xda, it is Nordic!
There is no World region firmware as far as I know?

well I flashed back to 2.3.2, rooted, and now I want to OTA, and can't connect to download ! says : impossible to download now, try later.
I don't know whats the problem now.
also the ota update is only 44mb.

Yes, same here, too many people trying and server is getting sad.
Keep pressing the update button a few times, it worked for me.
But now happy rooted 2.3.4 with locked bootloader.
Ps. Please stop calling it Generic_World though!

Any aussie play owners get the latest update yet?

Hi,
I'm with optus in Australia and wondering if any other aussie play owners have gotten the latest update yet.
My xperia play:
R800i
Current Android version: 2.3.3
Build version: 3.0.1.A.0.145
I got a message saying I should update my phone quite a few times but when I go to update it says that I already have the latest firmware, I've also repaired the phone using the SE PC companion hoping that would fix it but it didn't.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

that's quite odd.. because apart from the latest 2.3.4, you seem to be missing the 4.0.A.2.368 update.. hmm....

Just flash the latest ROM don't wait for it
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Hi dude
Im in Australia and im in the same boat as you. No update as of yet for us aussies.
It better [email protected]#$ing come soon, id like some of the new tricks.

Just use a flashtool
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Agreed with others, use Flashtool. Aussie providers seem to be very slow getting updates out unfortunately

Just an update to let all of the aussie play owners know that the update is avaliable in Australia now Enjoy

Although everytime I get to step 3 of the PC companion updates process is says "Unable to download phone software, Please check your internet connection or try again"
But my net is fine, Any Ideas???
Thanks

Flash .68 and root it then OTA update to 3.7. It will keep root. Its only a 14mb update.

I know the way. But I failed. I 68 firmware download here: http://narod.ru/disk/63646396001.3f6ef29f6566b1930657976aa386244b/LT28i_6.1.E.2.68_CN.ftf.html or here: http://yadi.sk/d/fRBtL6Ny0hl5K China or Hong Kong. After installing the firmware 68 does not update OTA. What could be wrong?

Give your feedback about 4.3 Jb in m dual....
Pls Reply me Experts.....

Update your phone through pc companion if u did not receive the OTA. Or if that doesn't help, you can download the FTF for the firmware you want and flash it through flashtool. And no, you don't need to be rooted to use flashtool and update
Press Thanks If I Helped!!

You can update to 4.3 root is no matter
After updating to 4.3 you will lose your root access. So once again you need to root with different methods (see in general section) for that you need to unlock bootloader/4.3 ftf file
Sent from my C2004 using XDA Free mobile app

Nope you won't get official update from SONY ( If you are in India).But you can flash 4.3 FTF file

Are you from India?
then you couldn't update officially, as "xdasenior' said (as I do)
you could download FTF of 2005 & flash with flash tool
all of these are available in our forum itself.
for rooting, you had to download both older & newer firmware (4.2 and 4.3)
then use niki root

Both pc companion and FOTA are for updating, dont worry about the size, they will both get you 4.3.
Yes 4.3 does have quite a few bugs, but they have all been fixed. Go to the stickied thread in the general section by @ansebovi and you will see the solutions to the bugs
