Hello. I am looking to update the phone because Xperia System Update has sat as a notification for almost a month now. Model number is E6853, Android version 6.0.1 and Build number 32.2.A.0.253. Can someone tell me how to go about doing this? It's been a while since I rooted the phone and honestly forgot just about everything because I followed a guide when I did it instead of using my own knowledge.
Since your fone is rooted, you'll have to 'rebuild' the Rom to include root access and possibly recovery. A search in the dev forums should give you some pointers. Unfortunately, I'm still being lazy and my Z5P is still not rooted...

FIRST put supersu (flashable zip) (SR2 of 2.78) in your SD CARD
DOWNLOAD your build (ftf) file as per country (or region) from
https://xpericheck.com/device/E6853
ORRRR ( Flashtoot.net)
you can use FLASHTOOL's XPERIFIRM (see fotos) / browse to your device and select build to download you .305 and flashtool will compile original ftf file and make it ready for your to flash! / switch off device, connect it in flashmode and perform clean flashing of .305 (as attached)
once flashed, now u need to flash kernel
download E6853.IMG from https://mega.nz/#F!KwZhjLIK!uNbDzR6lCXMaaW7jKFS1WQ!WpZAkLZC ( thanks to @KbaB.BroS)
connect device in FASTBOOT mode and select kernel to FLASH and flash E6853.img
boot , on sony logo, press volume up key, it will take u to recovery, install from zip and flash the superSU zip from sdcard.
once done, wipe delvik cache (optional)
reboot
DONE

Unroot
So I decided I didn't really need the phone rooted any longer and I hit the unroot option in SuperSU. Now how do I got about updating? The update fails on install every time and gives an error about the root info of the phone.

Hey Yasu,
Is there any way to get rid of that nag from the Xperia Software Update service?
Also, if we update the software do we lose root and all other customizations we've installed?
Thanks,

I am trying to install the OTA update .244. It downloads and attempts to install but I always get a "could not install update" message. I have the C6506 model of the xPeria ZL. I am rooted on stock .423 firmware currently with boot loader still locked (if that makes a difference). I was hoping to update and still keep root by using Voodo Root keeper(if necessary). Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the install to fail? Thanks in advance. :crying:

I used to receive that same message when trying to install the OTA for can't remember which build. Anyway my phone was rooted with a locked bootloader but I had made some changes to the System\Apps with a few tweaks which I figured that was why mine was failing to update via OTA.
Just make a backup of your phone and flash the firmware with Flashtool, it takes 3 minutes and you can re-root the phone easily after.
It takes about 10 min total....

Well, if you have root access and are getting this error it's veeeery likely something changed in your system partition in a way that makes OTA fail. In that case you will need to do a full update though Sony PC Companion/SUS, updating that way will wipe your /system partition and install a fresh one (you'll lose root, keep that in mind)
If you don't have root access and keep getting this error, try clearing Update Center app data before updating, unrooted devices should work with OTA updates...

Dear all,
I hope anyone can help me. I am trying to update to the latest Android version which I got OTA today. I have rooted my device and I am running TWRP (version 2.8.5.0) since some time. (Rooted it to restore some apps using Titanium backup). When I try to update using the OTA my device boots into recovery. When I choose install and select the downloaded zip file my device gives me the following error:
E: Zip signature verification dailed: 1
Disabling the ZIP verification doesn't work as I will just get another error message.
I have tried sideloading the ROM using adb commands but so far this hasn't worked either.
Anyone can give me some directions as how to continue from here? I would really like to update my device to Android 5!
Update with solution (for me):
What worked for me was downloading the OTA update like I would normally do. Then connect the phone to the computer and copy the downloaded update file to the computer (should be located on internal memory/download/). Once you have the file on your computer extract it, and then extract the file 'firmware'. Inside this second file should be a recovery.img. If you flash this recovery to your phone (no need to unroot or relock your bootloader) you will then be able to install the update.
That's because you need stock recovery to flash OTA. It won't work with TWRP because the OTA ZIP works different than a custom ROM.
Go back to stock everything and it'll work.
Or wait a couple of days till the boys here come up with a lollipop rom.
Ok thanks a lot, that'll help me I'll let you guy know if I run into any more problems.

now we want ruu
sir please send file link
Use these two files. First restore the stock nandroid using twrp (remember to choose NO when twrp prompts you to install supersu and root rom).
After you successfully restore the backup, flash stock recovery.
That should take care of it.

in usual way of that you have to put update file in Download folder in internal memory(after that you may have to restart) and then go to setting > about > software update, checking for update and wait the way that should be.

I did that but no luck.
placed ota file in download folder then restarted the phone. Then check for update but still the same message "there are no updates available for your phone"
So i just got the ota update today the lollipop for my country (Egypt) i had phone rooted with custom recovery TWRP i tried installing the update and failed.. then i flashed the stock recovery and still fails...gone to supersu and settings and unrooted it and tried again, still fails...
relocked the bootloader and STILL fails this now got me so mad because upon every install failure i had to redownload the update (it takes a long time tho) so if anyone could help me here i will be so thankful.
Hi guys.
Today I checked for system updates and I found one, around 92 Mb, i have rooted and install framework xposed with a couple of modules and uninstall some of the bloatware, just regular uninstall nothing fancy like using Titanium Backup, so pretty much I have most of the bloatware.
Now I try to apply the update but it fail, got a "dead android" with a error message.
Luckily my phone didn't went into a bootloop or anything similar.
Now my question is how do I proceed in order to apply the update?
If you can be as specific as much as you can I would really appreciate. Been using Samsung phone for the last 4 years and I've been using Odin or Twrp to inject or flash in the Samsung phone and I know this phone take a different approach.
Thanks in advance for your help.
To be honest I would like to see a process where you don't lose any settings or data
Have you tried holding the power button, then (while holding power button) quickly press Vol up and release and then release power button when you get the "dead android".
After rooting I get the "dead android" whenever I enter recovery, the above method works every time.

Flashing the rom or pre-rooted system.img does not wipe ur data or settings....
I had to flash the latest stock via recovery mode, then root and inject xposed... now I'm good.

Boot into recovery and select update from ADB. The command is "adb sideload filename.zip"
The OTA links are available here on XDA, there is a dedicated thread for it.

hi, I got ota update today and my g3 is rooted.
I tried updating rooted and it failed, so I checked online to find a solution and I tried to do the "restore upgrade errors" from lg pc suite and it didnt find problems to fix.
so I tried "full unroot" from superSU so now I dont have root and update is failing from phone with 0x1117008 error and doesnt work from pc suite.
how can I do the update? (prefer without backup everything and then wipe...)

Remember you will lose root and I have not been able to re-root using the script method after installing the update via PC Suite this morning.
If root is important to you may be worth waiting a bit.

so if I will wait there will be a method to update? All I want is a rooted stock, and a new update has come out. how can I update?
I have a hard time understanding when people want the elevated permissions on their phone, but do not want a means to restore it when they eventually mess it up.
The best method for running a rooted stock is:
Root your device
Unlock your bootloader (if available)
Install a custom recovery
Wipe caches and make a backup
Flash a rooted stock image or a stock-based ROM.
Backup regularly and before any significant change to System.
Enjoy!

I think I do understand. You are running a rooted stock, want to take an OTA to a new stock, and have it be rooted as well. Correct?

yes, if it can not be rooted at this moment but will be it's fine too
There is never a guarantee that it will be and it may take months. Many times the update is just to fix the exploit that allowed you to root! What I think that you are missing is that you should never accept an OTA if you are looking to run rooted stock. Rooting is something that is typically done ONCE. And once you do, it is advisable to never accept an OTA again.
If you want to run a newer version of stock and have it be rooted, you flash a pre-rooted version via your custom recovery or flash SuperSU via your custom recovery.
Accepting an OTA with a custom recovery is usually disastrous, too.
