OTA Update - Xperia Z General

Did anybody upgraded via OTA?
It just appeared on my phone and it's just 9,2 MB.
Is it ok? Is it safe?

Is it safe for what? It's coming from Sony don't worry.

Can you post some details about the update?? Is it system update or just some apps?

Is that OTA not just for a few apps. Top contacts, weather and world clock?

Cool! Thanked.

OTA update done, 3 minutes.
Now on .434.

Mine already was .434 but reading this thread I plugged in "update service" to check.
Right now I'm on a long 703.3MB update.

Really?, did you update yet?, to which version?, which region is your phone?

Nothing for india

after 40 minutes updating it installed OK, I booted the phone and got "updating android: optimizing app 2 of 2" then "launching apps"
checked in settings "about phone", nothing changed in versions. I assume "update service" can't do partial updates as OTA do.

Yes! My phone is Poland Generic, after I flashed it by Flashtool, originally got that from TMobile PL.
I downloaded the 9,2MB file and than the update process which you start manually was like 2 minutes lol.
Just rebooted itself, optimized apps and voila.
Version now - .434.
THAN I got some Sony apps and widgets upgrades - weather, new app world clock, top contacts.

Never said you did. I just asked the question. As there is now talk of a patch for the current firmware. The link to the thread is further up this thread. And was hopeful that it was starting to roll out.

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!
I got the ota update last night. UK generic version

I think you need FasTboot to flash it?
Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.

I am on Cracks ICS v14 custom rom. May be that is german or some other csc.
So far I can tell these features
- new launcher (like the Galaxy S3)
- new gallery with fancy 3D effects
- new contact list
- new folder handling
- pop-up video can now be resized
- slightly changed contact list layout
- you can now save contacts in the S-Clound (like google contacts)
- performance improved!
- added camera motion for lockscreen - settings -> display (only works with wipe lockscreen)
- added S-Cloud (there is no dedicated App but after flashing you will be asked if you want to sycn all your settings with samsung)
- added new motion: call contact currently displayed if you raise the phone

Lol. Thats just the disclaimer you have to read before you can even check for updates or allow updating. You have to confirm it. It will then set a schedule to check for updates lik.e once a month. Thats not an actual update. You have to do that on every new rom installation, sometimes straight away, sometimes a while after. Haha

Did you install a recovery? I've seen that happen with TWRP installed, I suppose it needs to be updated to .253
+1 I have exactly the same issue. You can not even dismiss the notification op the OTA update. I was on 434 and rooted. Flashed via CWM the 253.
Try uninstalling or freezing the Update Centre app.
Okay Force Stop, Clear Data does not work once the Update Center restarts the notification is back. Had to freeze the application for now until fix can be found.

You must flash back stock kernel using Flash Tools before can locked back bootloader.
Locked bootloader don't work with any 3rd party Kernel if you had flash before, example DooMLoRD kernel or the DooMLoRD recovery which include it own kernel as well.

Flash back stock kernel of .253 ROM (from any .253 ROM FTF) via Flash Tools will prevent the un-stop mentioning of new firmware available. Remember only flash the Kernel, not the whole ROM by untick Data, Cache, Appslog, Kernel, and Fota at Flash Tools.
