UK-based unbranded XP user here. Got the xLoud update recently, no sign of the 2.3.4 update as yet. I've tried the PC companion, too.

Is it possible to use the Generic American Rom to Flash an Australian Xperia Play? They are both GSM Networks I believe.

Should be fine.. I flashed both UK generic and the new Nordic 2.3.4 and both run fine for me (I'm with Optus). If you have 3G and data issues just re flash to UK or nordic

Just use the latest flash tool, dont know the version number but it works. And also if 2.3.4 update is your concern, i believe it works as long, from the Philippines and the generic nordic (i think) rom works and dont have any problem with it.

what's with the philippines?

I updated with 2.3.4 on Rogers and once done I don't have access to my network data. It tries to download the settings from my service provider but it keeps failing.
Anyone else lost 3G when they updated? Any tips?

R800i bought from China and still no 2.3.4 Upgrade
am i missing something?

No update with vodafone yet.
Who are you with?

Im with Optus but my Xperia was bought outright (unbranded) with 2.3.3.
I would seriously just flash the generic UK update and not bother with carrier branded firmware.

Do I need to be rooted to flash?

Nope. All you need is Flashtool and the generic uk file. You dont need to root at all

Free german xperia play.
Checked OTA, SEUS & SE PC Companion
No update avialable now

hey i think im going to piss off some people here...
my arc updated to 2.3.4 from generic UK and I just realised the 2.3.3 on my PLAY was a nordic ROM thats why i probably got the update..
I thought I had flashed the generic world tft.
I deserve to be flamed so flame on.
Sorry about this i didnt mean to get people's hopes up.

it will come by anyway

False alarm.. Let's just wait for it..

Rename the thread please..way to distracting.
Atleast you were honest =|

I just checked the latest firmware, for PLAY right now 2.3.4 only available on generic Nordic and generic Latin America (R800a)

I'm still sitting on my update notice for 2.3.3 (xloud) after flashing and rooting 2.3.2 with Generic UK. I'd much rather just update once, than update now and update soon after when 2.3.4 is released OTA.

OTA .253 update available

OTA .253 update is available for Sweden
Root seems to be intact after the update. I did a small change in build.prop file and successfully save and reboot the phone

do you by any chance have the .434 firmware as a ftf? I am currently on 253 but it rebootsd when setting r/w on root explorer.

you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215582

that link doesn't work. It says download blocked

How can I find out if the .253 update is available via OTA in Denmark? I'm on .253 flashed via PCC and I've lost my root access. I want to roll back to .350 via Flash tool and root it. Then I want to update to .253 via OTA and keep my root access. But before I do that I want to know if the update is available in my are - Denmark. How can I check up on that?

Anybody else have the problem that the phone doesn't want to update?
I can download the file and start the installation but as soon the android robot appears the update stop and the phone boot.

OTA Update now available For 12.0.A.2.245

Guys the OTA update For The latest update I.e. 12.0.A.2.245 is now available in around 70mb file package.
And best part Of OTA update is that you will not loose the root access like you loose the root in the update through pc companion.
I m from india and is on. 257 update

If you have unlocked boot loader DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE.

I live in Greece and i'm still on .257... Cannot install any updates and that sucks...

i wasn't eather, not trough the pc companion at least. if you're not sim locked just download global .245 package or german one perhaps, find it in a forum, and flash it via flashtool.

hi, where i find global generic .245
Thanks

i must confess I used the German one, but pretty much any .245 would work as long as it is for your specific model, 502 or 503, and if you do not mind using english in your device. 'cause no matter what region is intended for you can chose english for the device language.

Tried OTA update but installation failed. Not sure if is due to me removing the bloatware previously

As long you have rooted your phone whether locked or unlocked bootloader, OTA fails.

2.Use SIN2IMG.exe to transfer system.sin into system.img
3.Use unyaffs.exe to upack the system.img into resources you need

Will it also debrand dutch T-mobile?
Hi Guys,
I bought today the Z1 (C6903) , but unfortunately it's the dutch T-mobile branded device.
I've checked the firmware and it's the same as you mentioned in the topic : Xperia Z1 14.1.G.1.518.
Do you think it's also possible that I can flash the UK firmware?

Dumb question, flashing this over a branded .518 will keep the DRM intact and access to the 5 free movie downloads on Xperia Privilege?:good:
