.434 is the same update of ZL release a few days ago and it's JB 4.1.2
I think 4.2.2 should come in late April
Yeah , it is still JB 4.1.2 even i updated to .434
it is happened in Hong Kong
Just received .434. Netherlands, unlocked device.
im new to Sony devices, coming from Samsung Galaxy S3. Is it ok to update OTA when rooted? Bootloader is still locked and im on stock rom. On sammy devices i recall some issues with accepting OTAs when rooted.

The ota will work, however I'm unsure whether you'll retain root.

So far I've only lost root when doing a PC companion update. OTA has always retained root so far for me.

That's the thing, if the OTA update patches the exploit used to root it then you won't be able to re root. But as Rashkae said OTA updates seem to retain root. Worst case scenario, flash back to .350 with flashtool and root again

Update has a baseband and kernel update so don't expect it to come OTA.
You lose root after updating, but the current root exploit (for locked bootloaders) still works. Just re-root after updating
Re: new firmware arrived for xperia z c6603
So, any news from sony what's new in this update?
I assume it takes care of those sudden deaths... anything else?, cause i have this bug when i turn on the wifi, it continues to use 2g/3g network even it's connected to wifi.
It's not a big deal as i have to disable data before connecting to wifi(i'll rather have this than wifi dropouts. ), but still would like to get this fixed
Updated to .434 , I'm in Spain and OTA did'n find nothing, only with Companion.
.434 reloads again all GAPPS, Sony Boatware, Mc Affee, etc.
Same rooting files works in this one
Stamina fails again
Titanium Backup works fine, no restarts after deleting system apps

Sony has certified two new firmware's at PTCRB !!!
The first one based on 4.1.2 (i think), it is the 10.1.1.A.1.319 at Jun 4, 2013.
The second one based on 4.2.2 or maybe 4.3 (i think), it is the 10.3.A.0.407 at Jun 4, 2013, too.

Thats crazy, why became the C6606/6616 (the US T-Mobile Version) the newest firmware first. The funny you can buy this version of Xpereia Z only by T-Mobile US.
For two weeks i became the .253 and wait now of the .307, two weeks update is the new way of Sony update policy .

Unlocking bootloaders has nothing to do with Flashtool. But yes, as long as you don't unlock your bootloader you can pretty much do whatever you want.
We're talking about flashing with flashtool, but how many people that own the phone never heard/went on XDA how many of them never heard of flashtool. All of those people rely on their operators to push updates.

Unless your phone from country "x " from provider "1" and you flashed to country "y" provider "n" so to be safe make a backup from your original blobs and take the time and learn how to create your "backup.ftf" ... At some point, could save your phone... Occasionally.

That's right. Before flashing anything to your phone, it's always a good idea to create a backup of the original firmware customization, so that you can easily restore your phone to factory state if required, especially if it's difficult to find an FTF file online with your customization.
Luckily, there is also a way to return to your original customization without FTF file, but it requires a rooted phone with a locked bootloader:

does this also apply to me? I'm currently on .253 firmware, locked bootloader, root, CWM+TWRP dual recovery, navigation bar mod, frooze or deleted some bloatware apps.
Root will be lost I assume and the mod? Will the bloatware be back but everything else like apps, save games, pictures, music, settings be retained? Is there root yet for locked bootloader and .423 4.2.2. firmware?

No, your TA will be fine. When I upgraded it force closed the camera twice then after it was fine.
I am having another look at this file, because the FTF creation has changed slightly from the Xperia Z.
It shows an update on Sony Companion but not OTA. I am waiting for OTA coz I don't want to lose my root.

This is my first ever FTF flash on the Z1. It was a telstra branded phone.
I will note that I un-ticked 'data' under the flashtool wipe options on my initial flash of your FTF. I preferred to keep my settings intact, but that wasn't a deal breaker.
No matter what I did (re-flashing, rebooting, changing apps, etc), camera was broken for a couple of hours... I was getting a bit panicky.
I decided to let PC Companion to fix it by clicking 'your device is up to date' and in the pop-up selecting 'repair my phone'. It picked up as a generic 4.3 device, re-downloaded the 14.2 firmware and installed it. Part of that process is a factory wipe. Camera works now and I have firmware from Sony server. It is possible a full wipe would have achieved the same result, but I was looking for the most reliable, first try, answer.
Thanks for the FTF, though. I now have an unbranded 4.3 Z1.
flash rom
I have a Telstra branded Z1, so if I flash generic stock Australian rom and change the software id to match will I still receive OTA updates like it was from the factory. Phone details are : model number: c6903 build number 14.1.g.2.259 software id : 1277-2878 r3a . thanks in advance
When I flash UK-Vodafone firmware SuperiorAuto can capture 20MP but in Europe firmware can 8.3MP in SuperiorAuto mod,why is there difference?

It's not worth waiting , this update makes your phone really fly, and better battery, camera is slightly better, I don't seem to have 20MP, but am sure it will be ported to work soon

Grabbed this today as my carrier in NZ hasn't pushed out the update yet, am new to this and want to make sure there won't be any issues flashing a different country FTF?

Hi guys, just thought I would inform you that the 290 OTA is out in the USA. I have a c6903 that was imported here, SO I do not know if the phone has a location set or if its just going by my carriers connectivity, which is StraightTalk.
Should I update OTA and see if it preserves root?
You can't do OTA if rooted. Sony has taken care of that. OTA will fail if you try.

I guess I should read the forums a bit better. Yes, the update did fail.
I thought sony sort of "encouraged" rooting.
Anyways, I wasted space on the forum.. =(

Strange beause it worked for me. I have C6903 unbranded (Romania).
I flashed 534, rooted, OTA-updated to 257 (root was kept)
Today I received the notification that an update to 290 is available.
So I successfully updated to 290 via OTA. Root is lost though

I did OTA update and root is survived but partial root only. System files are write protected. If you want fully working root, you need to unlock the bootloader (at least for now).
I removed root and couldn't update OTA. Had to resort to the pc companion. I hope this helps in the development of a solution to get a 4.3 OTA root.
We have to detect which firmware could handle OTA update with root.
Same thing happened on some 257 firmware but...
Sony fixed exploit space that devs used to root and even if you find firmware (like @ktxed) that can be updated on rooted devices - you'll have only partial root.
And that means - you'll be able to flash everything through recovery but as soon as OS boot - you can't write to system anymore.

I noticed partial root stops working after a while.I flashed custom rom on Lb.
I did not update yet cuz I don't wanna lose root. I'm using [NUT]'s package.

You can't update through OTA anyway if you're already on a rooted phone. I'm also on NUT's rooted firmware and received the OTA notification and the update won't work due to root or custom recovery.
So what if I want to update?? Can I? (rooted xperia z1...)
Have also just got the update through, it's a very small update, kind of reluctant to update, but it's so small I can't see it removing root either way.
I'm in the UK and am on EE. Running Monx's rom 6.0.3
Tried it, wouldn't install, cannot verify.
Need to get rid of this bloody notification now.

Hmmm, why have you got it and i aint. EE UK, non rooted and am only across the Mersey from you (going by your avatar)
Asuming this update is just a few bug fixes and nothing new in terms of features.

So he will have a different customisation number.
You won't lose after OTA
Just to share - I came from NUT's 757 rom updated via OTA to 761 and I did not lose root. :good: Hope this helps.
PS. I didn't notice any difference maybe will check it out for a few more days
How did you do that...... It says "can't verify" when I try to install
Keep on coming guys.. Im waiting on fully charging my z1 before trying this update

Good update, this fixed the battery drain issue that I had with the previous firmware
If you are rooted using NUT's package then you can update following this

Just clear the icon, it's not going to be installable if youre on a custom rom, so monx = no, i'm guessing most of the other rom's will be the same too.
Just go to settings / apps / all / update service and update centre and stop notifications.
Gets rid of it but obviously the update is still there.

Greg kind of answered for me. As youre on a stock rom, it hasn't come through yet, i'm running Monx so it has.

did you convert SuperSu in a system app (with the special function of SuperSu app) before the OTA firmware update?
First we get told that this is an operator specific update for France and China, then there's a certified update ending with 769, and now we get this 761 update worldwide.
What's going on?

Nope didn't do anything special. I updated it right away still I have root.
I'm on stock 757 rooted, tried to update and BAM! failed to verify
