Those who got update notification,
Take a backup of all important data like contacts, call logs, SMSs, apps, APN and other settings before proceeding further. You may have to perform a clean install of your OS. While for all practical purposes, using Flashtool is safe but there is a very very remote chance of damaging your phone and don’t blame me should it happen.
For flashtool-Link
1. Install Sony PC Companion and/or SEUS. This will copy the necessary drivers to your PC. Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled and allow your PC to install the necessary drivers.
2. Connect your phone and update or repair your phone with the latest firmware version (right now 14.1.G.1.534). If you update/upgrade, your data will be preserved. If you repair, all data may be lost. So backup everything. Now, your phone is updated with the latest firmware. Keep it aside. We don’t need your phone anymore to create the ftf file.
3. Go toC:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and look for the biggest three files. The folder “blob_fs” may be located in a different place depending on whether you used PC Companion or SEUS. Perform a search for that folder if you can’t find it. Once you are inside the folder, sort by size and see the 3 largest files were just created (when you updated/repaired your phone). Copy them to somewhere else like D:\firmware.
4. Install Flashtool and open it.
5. Click Advanced > Decrypt Files.
6. Select all the three files and click the right arrow to send them to the right side and click OK. In a moment, you will see a Flashtool pop up window that shows all the decrypted files. Select all and click the right arrow button.
7. Type in the device name next to Device, firmware version number next to Version, and branding next to Branding and click OK.
8. In the Device Selection window that appears, select xperia Z1 and click OK.
9. In a moment, your ftf file will be there in the default Flashtool folder C:\Flashtool\Firmwares
10. Upload it and post the link so that everyone can use it..

The firmware version number moves from the current build of 14.1.G.1.518 to build number 14.1.G.1.531. No noticeable changes have been found, so it’s likely a bug/performance update. Did anyone update??? any difference???

Update details already mentioned here some 4 hours ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45761184&postcount=129
Update rolled yesterday for some users.
Better RAM management.

anyone in the UK get this yet

There's no OTA update?

Hopefully many new updates are pushed out by the time I get my Xperia Z1 in November!

I got this on my O2 branded Xperia Z1 yesterday as an OTA. I can't say I've noticed anything different

I got the same update straight away on o2 branded device.
Backed up my firmware before debranding to generic UK.
Issue is backup is nowhere to be found!!! I checked it was there before I flashed the generic to be sure I had a fallback....but looking for it now, GONE! Weird...

I wonder why they are pushing out so many updates in such a short time. Is there something really wrong that needs to be fixed?
I'm going to order my Z1 soon and I'm afraid if I should install the latest update if it's available or should I wait as I don't want to risk to not have root access? I need it for backup and restore and a couple of apps like Greenify...

[FTF][4.3] SGP311 10.4.B.0.577 Generic US (1272-7479)

Here is an FTF of the Generic US version of Android 4.3, 10.4.B.0.577 for the SGP311 (16 GB Wi-Fi Version). This is a RAR file split into 2 parts; you'll need to download both parts, then extract them using WinRAR (or a similar program). Of course, you need Flashtool to flash this FTF. Here's the Flashtool thread.
Technical Details/(somewhat) Nerdy Stuff:
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.B.0.577
Model Number: SGP311
Branding: Generic US
Customization Number: 1272-7479_R3B
The usual blah blah blah applies with this file (works with all SGP311s, doesn't unlock bootloader, no root required etc etc etc).
Part 1: http://d-h.st/NZ9
Part 2: http://d-h.st/Ors
Please do not mirror these downloads. If they go down, please notify me.

It might, but I would advise against flashing this on a SGP312 in case you don't get your full 32 GB of storage, or some other unfortunate occurrence.
Does it make any difference if i bring it up to 4.2.2(10.3.1.c.0.136) first?

No, you shouldn't have to. Going straight from 4.1 to 4.3 should work without a hitch.

No root method or root preservation methods have been discovered yet.
Rooting
Actually, you can root your tablet Z with the same method as Xperia Z line. That is:
- Unlocked bootloader
- SuperSU update zip file
- Flashtool
- FTF file
- Kernel with CWM, like theonefrom FreeXperia
I can tell, because I got mine rooted and recovered all my apps and data with Titanium. Just search on the forum for the topic.

Ah. I haven't seen any OTA updates. I obtained via PCC.
Hey everyone quick question here..... Why is there 2 different files? I flashed the first one successfully, but the second one seemed to get stuck when I tried flashing it immediately after. Regardless, I simply rebooted, and it seems fine without the second file. Just wondering if I did that right or if the second .ftf file is required..... Thanks in advance!

You need to download both parts and extract them, so you have the full file... Not sure how you flashed without the second part...

Sorry, I figured it out.... I didn't realize how the part1/part2 thing works with winrar.... Thanks!
thanks for posting this. For whatever reason my tablet says it is up to day and there are no new updates etc. But it is still on 4.2.2
Would anyone still happen to have this file? I am looking for a US version FTF for my SGP311 that I screwed up by flashing the latest Lollipop FTF.

17.1.1.A.0.438 Certified for Z2

New firmware version 17.1.1.A.0.438 certified yesterday for d6503-Z2 looks like only minor change/bugfix... According to 402-438 or maybe an operator release/update?

Anyone knows how to check HW version? I save A, B in HW version columm.
In most Asia Country, we didn't have 402 update.
Bell Canada is also like 3 updates behind i dont have anything passed .55.
If Bell is going to screw over its customers as always with a locked bootloader the least they can do is be on point with the god damn updates.

Sell it and buy one with unlockable bootloader. All branded phones that rely on updates from providers will only get major updates and support stops almost always way earlier then the support from sony.

Why should he sell device?!
You can flash any Xperia device with flashtool.
He just need to download latest flashtool (v.16) and latest firmware (German or UK generic).
Install flashtool and flash new firmware...
There's no need to unlock bootloader just to have latest firmware...

I doubt so, 4.4.3 builds should have a different build number, unrelated to 4.4.2. I rather Sony takes their time to make their firmware right instead of rushing out crappy updates to beat the other manufacturers. I feel thats whats been happening to samsung lately. Theres just no consistency in the reliability of their updates anymore.

Correct, I have downloaded the supposed new version using Sony PC Companion, but is the old one, not 108.
Ok, i tested 108, from thread starter,and is really nice update overall.
Nice score in antutu, apps opening noticeably quicker,1-2 new apps for camera, wifi delay no longer exists.
Totally recommend to flash this.

Make sure you are on .108 FW before flashing this
Also, you mean FTF not TFT
It stands for (F)lash(T)ool (F)ile
Silly question perhaps, but I'm still relatively new to the Android world and FTF flashing - I current have EURO-LTE_14.3.A.0.757 stock unbranded Central Europe on my Xperia Z1 C6903 (flashed back in April). Customization per secret menu shows R2C (1276-0875-R2C).
I see there are some ftfs up here for R1C and R3C but none for R2C - all Central Europe, so what is the difference between zone 1, 2 and 3?
Can I flash R1C to my phone, or do I have to wait for the rollout to reach me for the latest version? PCC is showing that I'm up to date, and I'm a bit scared to flash at the moment as PCC is acting up and refusing to create a backup of my phone...?? I don't muck about without a backup, ever.
I'm not rooted, bootloaded not unlocked (I'm still in warranty so won't be doing any of that until after my warranty expires) but I have flashed an unbranded stock rom to replace my branded rom (my service provider is a good 2-3 months behind with updates, very frustrating, nevermind the bloatware!)
Central europe 1 (1276-4318) is factory installed on devices for PL, CS and SK

Sorry I've been out of the android scene since JB so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with these files. Been trying to hold out for OTA update but it's certainly taking a long time so I'm looking to just flash another region FTF on my phone. Can someone point me to a guide or give me a summarized list of what I do with these files? I know I have to flash them using flashtool but not sure which one to use.

If I upgrade there is there any method to get Root?
Well, I flashed it with Flashtool after customize all the apps already installed prompt me for a lot of permissions of some apps, then after about 10 min of working normally or good, suddenly it restarted and now it restarts just when it try to load apps...
Does you recommend me anything? erase anything?
Thanks
EDIT:
Just solved erasing with all this options marked:
I installed the Brazil vers, it's like something that is in my world instead of chinese vers.
Anyone know how to root this version? E6533 (Dual)
Thanks for diving in guys any word on the change log. Also is how is it with english selected ?

This firmware is also available for single sim variant (E6553) now.. Customized Singapore, US and Vietnam.. To those running on .266 firmware, are there any noticeable difference compared to .251 firmware ?? Considering on flashing here if there are any..

Just flashed .266 Customized SG and restored apps etc..; no noticeable improvement whatsoever but no regressions either.. this said only from updating and installing apps, entering passwords, one should probably notice something within some days of usage.
Surely won't hurt if you flash it, esp. if you want to keep up to date.

I see.. Thank you for the feedback.. Did you flash using the latest version of Flashtool (0.9.19.8) ?? I read somewhere in Z3+ forum a while ago that some people have trouble flashing firmware on this phone.. It's been a while since I used flashtool (last used when I was using Xperia Z 6-7 months back).. Just want to make sure it's the same process for this phone..

Yes and I also applied the 0.9.19.10 patch.. the process is basically the same, while this new version will ask you if you'd like to use a flash script it has for our phone.. I did use it and it went all well. Also when it starts flashing it will ask you about TA skipping, just hit 'yes'.

Yes but mostly because I hadn't wiped data for a long time.. You could get along well with dirty flash if you have too much to restore.. If you have any problems afterwards, you can always do a factory reset.

I think I'll do a full wipe.. How do I make the downloaded file into a .ftf file ?? Automatically unpack or manually ??

Automatically unpack in Xperifirm, then in flashtool go to Tools->Bundles->Create, select the folder where you extracted the fw, add all the files to the right column, enter info about phone, customization, version - create.. Then flash the created ftf it in flash mode (it will show up in Flashtool when you hit 'flash')

Thanks a lot.. I'll surely give it a go when I have some free time.. I just checked xperifirm and it seems like the firmware is rolling out to more regions now.. I wonder if Sony will push an OTA update anytime soon..
@airlessproject, Do I have to check any box under MiscTA Exclude (by default SIMLOCK is checked) before flashing ?? I'm not sure what this does..

Leave the default checked, all else unchecked.

I see.. I have to check all the boxes under WIPE if I want to clean install right ??
One thing that is changed at least for me I have the apn settings download feature again in mobile network settings. Don't know why the last build was missing it anyhow.
I'm from Spain this Update is available in my country by OTA way. I have got an Z3+ Dual Sim version.
Rooting 28.0.A.8.266 Single Sim Version
Hi all,
Have installed the above update for UK and wondering if anyone could help with rooting it. I have tried using the .251 rooting files but obviously different version so hasn't worked out. Thanks for your attention.

32.2.a.4.3 just hit the servers

How disappointing

It wouldn't have been anything major with a build number like that
I have installed the software for E6853. The phone won a good fluency. Nothing else has changed.
no for z5 dual
whyyyy
Just downloaded and installed via Flashtool. Haven't noticed any changes. Patiently waiting for more news on the Nouget update!

I suspect they work on it for most devices, as we keep getting side updates and notifications from some Xperia apps about 7.1 compatibility. Today was from Sony Play Memories...
At least I hope

At the moment Just released for the following:
Z5(6653)
Z5C(5823)
Z5P(6853)
Maybe released in the following days for other items...
Has anyone else noticed double tap to wake is working correctly in this update? After testing it out this weekend, I haven't had the screen accidentally turn on while it has been in my pocket.
I have just updated and i can say that phone is smoother and there is no more lag when you try to view picture that you have taken inside camera app it shows it almost immediately also launching camera app is faster for me and photos are taken faster and with less noise in night.
Thats the things that i noticed from my view on my z5p a guess it the same things for z5.
Also mobile data icon is now separate from signal icon
I'm gonna sound stupid , but I need to ask any way. Where can I get the FTF file ? I just got mine today , it's a carrier bloated version I need to install the stock one. Thank you in advance.

Your carrier one is still stock. So what you mean you want a cleaner stock ftf, which will change the carrier or even the region.
Here is a list of latest ftfs, assuming you have Z5.

Or download XperiFirm.

Yesterday the update notification disappeared, now it says I'm up to date. I didn't install this update, still at .305.
Anyone else?
