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

Would flashtool stop SUS updating phone?

Hi there, im waiting for the 4.4.4 update on unbranded uk phone and was wondering if flashing .757 to phone with flashtool earlier would stop SUS from working?
The 4.4.4 update has been out for over a week now and i still dont have it showing in pc companon or SUS, phone has locked bootloader and stock rom.
Also when the update becomes available, will SUS completely wipe the phone back to factory fresh and remove dual recovery? The phone is loaded with junk atm i want rid of and was wonderig if SUS will nuke all partitions or just update in place?
Thanks for look.

Possible. If you flashed a FTF with a customization that does not get an update, you will not get an update. Refer to this thread for more info.
From your post it was not clear if your BL is unlocked or not. An unlocked BL will prevent flashtool from working. in any case, updating via SUS will wipe modifications to the system, including root and recoveries. If you update OTA, those things will remain intact as long as the update does not specifically concern these things.

I have UK also and still no update with PCC or OTA. We always get them last.

yeah, the doom of getting UK unlocked phone via Clove, everything is 1 month later
need to flash a central eu or something .. its a bit faster

[Q] Xperia ZL update issue

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

Yep I brought it second hand about a year ago, but I have been able to update it before
It's battery died about 6 months ago so I've kept it locked up and only took it out now after ordering the battery on eBay and replacing it myself. Now it works perfectly but fails to update to the newest firmware

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?

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

LG G7 Firmware brand and OTA

Hello, today i recived an LG G7, but it has firmware brand (TIM)
I was wondering if I changed the firmware with another one, would I get the automatic updates via ota?
Thanks

I bought a TIM branded device, flashed stock 10k OPEN kdz and I don't think the OTA is working

i have the same issue, someone can help?

I also had tim and when I switched to no brand I stopped receiving ota and also lg bridge no longer updates my phone. I now use LGUP every time there is an update and do a manual upgrade. The lg bridge update log says the phone fails an imei test so I believe there's no other way to update for me and probably for you too.

I bought G7 TIM branded and I flashed EU open kdz. Even though I dont see any branded apps or stuff, in software info I still see 10q-222-01. Do u know how to make it EU Open?

If it was pure open stock, it shouldn't show that "222-01" thing in software info. It should be "EUR-XX". And I can't make it that way. I'm wondering if anybody achieved it.

Same issue..received a Tim branded G7 so installed GBR open firmware from LG fan now all good no branding just no OTA UPDATES..Anyone know of a fix for this save flashing every new update.?
Any help/information much appreciated....
I’m going to try and flash the Italy open rom if there is one...see if that makes any difference..
What is the Italy code? Is it ITC?

So i flashed a few open firmwares..ITC and GBR open latest ones and earleir releases and none would OTA update only flashing back to origanal TIM firmware did it update OTA.
So its put up with branding etc and get all ota updates or flash a EU open firmware and keep doing this with every update.

No, only with hands through lgup

So is there any way for users to istall an open F.W so you don’t have network branding or bloatware
And still receive the OTA updates?and security patches
I know it don’t really make a massive difference but the branding and boot screen really winds me up for some reason..
I could send device back as I purchased in the uk thinking it would be a uk phone but it’s Italian..still says LG-G710EM so I guess it’s the Euro variant..

guys, for LMG710EM which firmware should i flash to remove brand?
thanks in advance

Any that’s an open for your regional area...
Be aware if you do this you will no longer receive OTA updates.

I'm asking because i'm fresh in this topic (and generally in android) and i prefer to ask before i do something wrong.
Yes, i know that i will no longer receive OTA updates what is quite logic, but manual update via LGup isn't a big problem for me. Just less convenience.
So, for Poland, firmware G710EM10q_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1219.kdz should be okay, yes? and one more question, the process of updating via LGup looks like normal firmware updating (keeping the configuration and data) or like clean firmware flashing?

Yes that’s an okay firmware for Poland and yes LGUP wipes and gives clean install each time I’ve used it..there maybe a way to upgrade once you have initial new firmware as you don’t want issues so clean install is best to start then investigate upgrade for next time.

When should 9.0 roll out? the G8 already released with it...
