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.

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 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.

Hi,
I am from UK and bought unbranded Xperia Z from Vodafone on the first day. Still have not got the 4.2.2 update through the phone or Sony PC Companion. I have not rooted the phone yet, as I am not that well verse with how to do it..
Can anyone tell me or give me links as to how to backup my data and update my Z to 4.2.2. Tried to do it from the links in the forum. Just confused as there are several of them, not sure which one to choose.
Thank you for the help.

Yeah, the unbranded UK owners are probably one of the last left to receive this update. I've been tempted to flash the Vodafone branded one as I'm with them anyway - just been too lazy :cyclops:
Just flash C6603 firmware from other country
If you really want 4.2.2 then just download flashtool and flash another countries un-customised firmware (I chose Spain, but it doesn't matter which one you use just make sure you flash the correct firmware C6603 or C6602).
Your phone does NOT have to be rooted
Your phone does NOT need recovery (CWM/TWRP)
and when UK Generic firmware gets released hopefully someone will upload the .ftf file and you can flash that (although there will be minute differences)
To recap:
Download flashtool
Download official 4.2.2 ftf (any country)
then once flashtool window is open then DRAG the ftf into the window and it will flash.
It's very easy, I encourage you to do it :good:

The device heats up less easily. That alone makes 4.2.2 worth upgrading IMO

Pretty much this. I feel bad for UK users but i'm in the same boat - Orange Romania sure take their sweet time trying to bake in all their useless bloatware. Vodafone Romania has had the update out for 3 weeks now.
I just have to find some time to flash an unbranded FTF (which will also get rid of the bloatware from Orange)
Wow really ? My xperia Z UK on Three got the update 2 weeks ago OTA.
Yesterday I got a notification on the desktop app about the update, so maybe it's a slower roll out :/
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
This isn't a surprise to me to be honest, I had this with my desire hd, which was one of the first to come out. It was always the last to be updated, and this Xperia z is the same. One of the first batches to come out. It'll get done eventually.

Just flash one of the many stock original sony ftf that are all over xda or online. I do not see the issue. Work fine isn't very complicated and u will have 4.2.2.

Still waiting for 4.2.2 update on my stock Xperia Z. Shocking that network variants that have to go through more testing and red tape are being released before a stock fw. Sony really need to get better there!
While I agree it is pretty appalling service from Sony I decided to flash another region. Chose Generic DE in the end, seems to be identical save for the nfc icon which doesn't bother me.
Best decision I made, now I can actually enjoy the phone and look forward to quicker updates. Would be like I had bought the phone from Amazon Germany, which I did with my O4X as it had not launched in the uk anyway.

Its suppose to have started on Tuesday last week but seems Vodafone UK has it.
So will this be the generic UK version? Should be nice to see a hopefully smoother 4.3 than what I'm currently using.

Maybe its stuck in traffic on the M25.
I think what they have actually confirmed is they have no idea what's going on and they are quite happy to ignore one of their biggest markets.....
I hope we get this by the end of Feb, because after that, their website will be lying.
Cant be much different to the Generic Austrailia firmware. Why is it taking so long !
Does anyone have a link to the Vodafone UK 266 FTF?
Its in a thread soemone started specifically about the vodafone UK version a few pages back now. Id not bother though unless you're rooting straight off, its better than the CE in my opinion but has some voda specific bloat and is still sluggish at times.
Ive decided to just try the Existenz rom which sounds like a nice tweaked version and pre-rooted to boot.
maybe some progress:
Well my number is there as getting it so I will check when I get home but not holding my breath.

Whilst it'd be nice to have a proper Generic UK one id still hold out for the next version in case it has some good fixes in.

If you check the eXistenZ thread, there are instructions to install on locked bootloaders. I think only stock based ROMs can flashed on locked bootloader.
