greetings ,
i have an Xperia s phone with the firmware 6.1.A.2.50 rooted with root many droids (bin4ry)
software update in my phone showed that there is new update available...
i downloaded the new update...but it always fails to update..
is it cuz it's rooted??
should I unroot my device so that i can update...???
im a bit confused :silly:
You can flash stock 6.1.A.2.50 again and then try to update, it should work then. Rooting actually doesn't affect update via PCC or SUS, as far as i know.
But yes if the bootloader is unlocked then you won't be able to update as well. So your device bootloader unlocked or locked?
One more thing you should remember the new update 0.55 is not easily rootable. The method which worked for 0.50 and 0.45 won't work on 0.55
Lastly the new update 0.55 doesn't bring anything special. I tried and then went back to 0.50 again. Still it's your call.

Funny thoug, that Sony claim to be open for external development and for eg. XDA, and at the same time Sony make an effort to secure that you can't root every time they release new firmware...

:good: thanks guys,im a newbie here..i dunno the answer your question...
i bought the new device and all i did is rooted via Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18...i dunno if it unlocks the bootlloader...
i rooted my device though it wasn't useful to me rather than before rooting cuz i dunno how to use the maximum before rooting..
i heard that the firmware is better for the RAM and i have a wireless problem (it freezes n dysfunction)..
thanks a lot again auni
anyway i fixed it ma self....just used the stupid pc companion and it worked though it took some time to download the update..
thanx XDA
I have Optimus G (E975 Poland) with version E97510B (4.1.2) on board from the begging. Today LGMobile Support Tool said to me that it has version E97510D for my phone. I will flash this as soon as my battery will have better level. I don't know what has changed because there is no changelog.
There is no update by OTA in Android. It says that I have actual version.
STEPS:
STEP 1:
(picture 1)
Downloading (very slowly, about 200-300 kbytes/s). It will took about 40 minutes to download 982 MBytes.
Stucked on 52%, I had to restart this. It looks like now it is downloading faster and it should take only 8 minutes. I have my full speed 20 mbits/s
It took 25 minutes to download it. Sometimes faster, sometimes slowe.
STEP 2:
(picture 2)
Unpacking
STEP 3:
(picture 3)
Downloading to phone. One phone ther is "DOWNLOAD MODE DO NOT UNPLUG.." red text on small white box.
RESTART OF THE PHONE ON 94% .... PROGRESS BAR STILL MOVING UNTIL IT REACHES 100%
STEP 4:
(picture 4)
Program says tha "update is completed"
Phone has run updating process by app optimalisation.
DONE.
It is still Android 4.1.2 , compilation JZ054K
Software version: E97510d-260-06
I lost my root. I will give screenshots after rooting.... I hope so....
I cannot find anything new. Probably this is some kind of stability/bugs update.
Rooted with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103
No problems at all.
I've addes screenshots of system information before and after the update. Only one letter has been changed.
Kernel is dated 2013.03.16 so it is probably new version.
I have the same, E97510b Denmark. But my LG Software tells me that my phone doesnt support upgrade.. And OTA theres no software either :-\

EDIT: Because 'LGMobile Support Tool' will not tell you this: it needs to be 50% of battery to start process of upgrading.
Cool thanks for posting

I have 83% charge, and both LG Support and PC Suite tells me that their isn any updates for my phone .. which is odd since I have the same model, just living in a other part of europe ..
Nothing here also.
I guess we'll just have to wait in western europe

It not works like that. It doesn't matter how much battery you have when you are checking for update, but when update starts (after clicking update) new window will open and it will immediatelly stop after telling you that your battery has too less power. When battery has more than 50% then it will start to download.

There is only one ROM version for whole Europe: Western, Eastern, Southern, Northern, Central and every name you will give. One Europe to rule them all
If you have E97510B you should be updated. Probably they don't want to have servers stucked and they are rolling updates by countries.
I have 97510b-eur-xx and as I said, no update.
Do anyone know what this update actually does? Battery fix? 4.2? anything at all, block root, bootloader etc?

Rooting method is working fine. I don't know about bootloader as I see no reason to unlock it (LGs ROM is as far 'stock Android' as I like and their changes are only for good.)
About battery: I don't know.
OS version is exactly the same: 4.2.1
I have feeling that Camera is less noisy in dark scenes, but it has to be investigated.
Okay, I think I wait then - cause CM for E975 has come out and I really want that since I hate the stock rom.. doesn like the apps and menu layouts (yea I use Nova Launcher, but still)
In india,
Today i'l get the update
Only 6.97 mb,
nuth for my E975 in DK yet
Update server unavailable. I feel it's coming.
--
E: Server back online, but no update.
If you have rooted the device and unlocked the bootloader,you won't see the update or you won't be able to update.i had to flash stock kdz,only then it saw the update.it was 8.49 mb,something related to lte connection,making it visible on settings.i had 10c,now it shows 10d.rooted and unlcked normally with fiddy's script and freegee.no problems at all.
No big deal with the update

No updates available in Italy......
But your polish phone is with carrier or no brand?
I was rooted but not unlocked. There was nothing in OTA but lg tool updated phone to version D. Probably OTA version has only what changes and lg tool has always full Rom to update.

Hi guys,
I am new to android coming from apple. I am looking to update my xperia zl 4.1.2 build number 10.1.a.1.395 to android 4.2. I have never flashed the phone before but i do however rooted my phone using i believe doomlords mod. I have also an issue with the in ear peice when calling i notice the volume is extremely low when i am making calls. If someone would let me know the steps to fix this issue and the update that would be great. As far as i know i need flashtools and the 4.2 android update? Just want to know which update i would need. My phone is originally a rogers xperia zl but its been unlocked to use any carrier. The bootloader is also locked on this phone.
Thank!
Update your phone over the air. (settings, about phone, software update) and use doomlords tool to root again.

Trying to get the update from OTA wont work in your case since you have never flashed the phone and are probably on the stock Roger's firmware meaning you wont see an update available until Rogers pushes their 4.2.2 update with their own bloatware which may take a while.
Just flash the latest FTF firmware C6506_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded.ftf (stock Sony firmware) found on here on XDA and flash it with Flashtool. Then use doomlord's method to gain root. Very easy stuff... Dont wait for Rogers to update unless you want to wait forever... Carriers are usually slow to update their stuff.
I have a ZL C6506 and it's battery went out. So I sent the phone to Sony for repair. They replaced the battery and flashed the phone with an older software 4.2.2 version 10.31.A.0.244.
Now the problem is that when I go to "Update center" and search for updates, it says the phone is up to date. I know that's not true since my phone had been running 4.3 before dying.
I can't understand why my phone won't update. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can force my phone to update? I tried through PC Companion but no dice. It says the phone is up to date too.
Please help!

Can you post your build.prop in /system/ ? Not sure if its possible without root. With adb it is simple, just use adb pull /system/build.prop.
Download any stock firmware in .ftf format from the forums and use flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/download.php) to flash it to your phone.
Flashtool doesn't care if your device is up to date or not. It just writes the content of .ftf files to the right partitions on the device. :good:
If you want to check if repair service destroyed your Xperia, do not flash the newest stock firmware. Download an older one. After flashing the older firmware,
try to update via PC Companion. It should work now. If not, send it back to Sony and tell them they bricked your device.
May be they replaced your handset with a prototype
I also faced this similar issue. I bought a second ZL (c6506) last week that came with 4.2.2 (10.3.1.A.2.67) and I don't see any update on PC companion or SEUS. It looks like 4.3 update has been pulled for some reason here in the US.
I'll post my build.prop later this evening.
Ended up using flashtool with a FTF to update to 4.3. It erased all my data but oh well, I redownloaded everything and now I have 4.3. I just hope I'll be able to update to 4.4 OTA or through PCC when it comes out.
I have a D852G model and the new OTA has just been made available by Videotron :good:
Only thing is, my phone is on Android 5.0.1 (version 20b) and the OTA won't install. I tried using LG PC suite to unroot ("Repair") but it refuses to do it because there is not enough space. There is still ample space on the device (about 15 Gb).
I tried getting a fresh version of the PC suite, and the release notes include a note indicating it cannot detect remaining space for android 5 and over. At that point, I am still stuck, since the SuperSU "remove root" does not work either.
Is there any other way to upgrade WITHOUT losing everything on my phone?
firstly - its not marshmallow
secondly - no its not possible without flash
as i can see its v21c - still lollipop

Since the update is 1200 Mb sized, I assumed M had already started shipping
Well, I'll postpone the backup-restore operation for a few weeks until 6.0 is official. Too much work for a point release.
