Hello,
I have 14.4.A.0.108 (Generic UK) installed and today I got a notification that update is available. Sadly, after the download of 4,4MB file finished I got an error "could not verify" and now this notification is stuck. How to fix this? Thanks
Freeze update center then reboot.

Is this the new .108 version (camera improvements...) ? If it is just flash the corresponding ftf (this one is ok) and then you'll not recieve this update anymore
BTW if you want deodexed one, after installing generic ftf follow this
Do you have unlocked bootloader?

Thanks a lot for lengthy answer. I've force stopped update center and notification is gone, so I will not probably flash Generic RU. But thanks again.

Yes, I do. That is how I installed .108, because it was not available in my region at that time.
You dont need to unlock bootloader if you want to install any kind of stock rom or even custom with stock kernel. Unlocked bootloader is require if you want to install custom kernel. And that that your update can not be veryfied is because you have unlocked bootloader. I hope that you backup your keys to lock bootloader again

If you were smart enough to unlock bootloader, you should know how to lock it. You should also do some reading, so you knew unlocking bootloader "blocks" OTA updates.

Note :: I unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone because
I wanted to delete cache and all unnecessary files which made my phone really slow and lagging all

Not to install custom rom.. I still in the offical ICS rom

What You Actually Need To Do Is,
1. Unroot The Device.
2. Lock Bootloader
3. Following Steps 1-2 Will Allow You to Download OTA Updates From PCC.
If You are unsure If your phone is in the same condition as it was before you started to root and unlock it.
Best Thing To Do Will Be.
1. Use FLASHTOOL to FLASH Sony Generic ftf. File .45
2. Relock Bootloader by Using Relock ftf. --> http://j.mp/xps_relock
3 Flash Your Phone Completing Both Steps.
4. You should receive .55 Update if Everything Went Fine. ( It means you are getting OTA)

for the official update via pcc question it will inform you there is and update but you will not be able to install the official firmware through pcc even if UB and stock you can only update flashtool ftf file or with cwm flashable zip
yes you can relock your bootloader with flashtool to update the official way.
yes it will work especially if you are stuck in bootloop or brick as long as you can boot into flash or fastboot it

thanks for clearing my doubt
i tried rooting the new firmware and it was a success, i now have root and dual recovery installed on stock 4.3
here's the other link i posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48805157#post48805157
here's how. (my device is locked BL)
LINKS UPDATED!! (recovery)
1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=
recovery that i used http://nut.xperia-files.com (download the latest flashable zip for ZL)
6.Re flash .569 ftf exclude everything except kernel and fotakernel.
7.Restore TA Backup.
FOR UNLOCKED BL
just follow step 2, 4, 5, and 6
VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

It will reset your device if u put a check on wipe apps log on flashtool. I recommend a clean install to avoid problems.

Hi,
I'm new to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, so any help will be greatly appreciated
I'm using an orange xperia lt15i, that I've decided to root and on which I want to run CyanogenMod 9.1
Here's what I've come up with :
flashing a generic ftf to debrand my phone, in orded to unlock the bootloader
install recovery
unlock boot loader
flash CM
The catch is, flashtool (0.9.16.1) can't read any of the ftf files I put in the firmware directory..any idea ?
Did I get the steps in the right order, is there any way to achieve this at all ?
Thanks

maybe file is wrong download here a new one. this works 100% LINK
also use normal flashtool not 64bit.
install drives from flastool install dir/drivers for your phone
install android sdk (just leave all like it is & press install)
now to the process:
flashing a generic ftf to debrand my phone, in orded to unlock the bootloader i dont think this is need. on sony bl unlock site theres mentioned how to get in service menu & look if bootloader unlock allowed: yes or no. if yes just proceed. any way, CM requires flashng stock ics ftf b4 so do it after unlock...
install recovery no need if you flash CM's kernel later it was recovery built in (all custom)
unlock boot loader
flash cm kernel via fastboot
flash CM dont forget gapps! (google apps)

2. Can I be able to just download the same and install?
3. If yes, what will happen to my root?

Yes you will get a notification that an update is available, but your phone wont be able to install it (since bootloader is unlocked).
Thus, to apply the update, you need flash the stock firmware via flashtool.
And yeah, you'll lose root access once you flash the firmware. Just flash su binary via recovery to get it back.
Hope this helps.

Thanks @sohailferdous.... but I have few doubts - 1. I know the process of flashing a firmware via flashtool....but for that your need the ftf file...so is there a way to get the stock ftf file? Because .253 ftf india is still not available. The one present is AUS version
2. When you say SU binary I take it that its the SU zip file which is present in Doomlord's root update.

Hi,
I have a T2 Ultra Dual (Chinese Version ... XM50h) flashed it with the Australian firmware. Works great and shows now as D5322. Today I read about Kitkat Update - I'd connected the phone to the PC Companion - Companion started to download the Kitkat Update but when it shutdown the phone to install the upgrade I got the message that there is a modified software on the phone - update can not continue (Error2003)
Is it possible to get a flashable file out of PC Companion?

Strange - bootloader should be locked - how can I check if it is locked/unlocked?
When I try to flash 4.4.2 unbranded firmware from Ashwin - flashtool stops after the bootcode and nothing happens. Flash failed (so says the phone after rebooting. PC Companion repair does not work.
Reflash of the Australian 4.3 works - phone is up and running after 4.3 flash ...
Strange ...
Found a solution by myself!
Downloaded recent Flashtool (0.9.16)
Clicked on BLU
relocked bootloader (I had forgotten that it was unlocked)
Rebooted the phone
Started PC Companion
Update to 4.4.2
