Been created and fully tested via latest Flashtool, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
Also note if you are unable to flash this ROM with flashtool, make sure you untick TA, confirmed to be working.
Awesome flashtool tutorial specifically for the Xperia Z http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Also if you want to make a CWM or TWRP flashable file a great tutorial can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183077
I can confirm a new firmware update for NFC.
New Baseband, hopefully that fixes network drop outs - Confirmed it hasn't really helped much, still get no network errors often, clicking retry works fine (very frustrating)
Lightflow (coloured LED notifications) works fine in non root mode, not as well but still very usable (colour cycling of the flashing is a little more random).
Can confirm that the USB interface is much faster, seems to be at least twice as fast accessing the internal or external SD
Can confirm that the WIFI has the same problems as .434 and .350 for me. couldn't establish initial connection to any access point until I fresh rebooted the access point, and signal strength is pretty much the same.
Not sure what others are talking about new kernel, it is the exact same kernel for me

Indeed, 4 hours to download. Thanks to the OP and everything but I'll elsewhere.

Right guys, I had uploaded it to netload via FTP, and am not sure where it is, will look for the link or give you the username and password temporarily.
I will also upload it to depositfiles.

I have just updated the OP, are you using the latest beta flashtool?, and do you have all the drivers installed?
I have also included a link so you can make a CWM or TWRP flashable zip from this FTF file, if that helps

Did the FTP help? I will only leave this option available for the rest of today AU time, then the three download options

Seems that this last firmware version is unrootable, so,is there some regional or localized firmware .434 that when is rooted, it could offer a .235 OTA update?

My phone was bought from Telstra, and come with some Bigpond & Telstra apps.
The build number is 10.1.A.1.350
There are no any updates when I check in Software update
So, should I flash this firmware

This ROM is from Australia, my phone is not from any Cell provider therefore not locked to anyone. Each provider will customise and lock the ROMs to their networks, this takes time which is why you will not get the update yet. Wow, I can't believe that they are so far behind still. .434 was released in Australia the day the phone was officially released in Australia
You can flash this ROM over top of your current ROM and provided that you do not wipe the data partition you should retain all your apps and settings. Unless the bigpond or telstra apps are part of the system apps rather than installed apps then you might loose those.

I am not really sure, I don't think so though. I believe the non branded ones are pretty much global ROMs, and the localisation is typically only from the providers apn, the internet and mms settings that you download at the start.

I bought my phone from Sony Central and still havent received this damn update...pissed! Downloading this now.

Really? that is strange, I would have thought yours would have been the same as mine. Maybe because mine was not Australia stock?

It should be, I bought it from the Sony Central shop in Chatswood so direct from Sony. Jeesh, you would think these models would get the update first. I see some posts on Whirlpool with others in the same situation.
I've tried on PC Companion, Bridge for mac and the phone itself.

I got mine at Harvey Norman here in Melbourne - update appeared same as the others...strange yours didn't
I did flash the Singtel version that was posted in General so thanks to the OP for this - going to have some flashing to do this evening

Yeah, it's quite outdated :crying:
The phone is unlocked from Telstra but Telstra branded. That's why I hate branded phone, but Telstra offers 2 year warranty service. and Sony is quite unstable phone, easily got bricked.
I did install CWM recovery and root it.
Does it affect to OTA update? Should I unroot it to have the OTA update?

I'm on a custom 4.3 ROM, but was thinking of trying this out anyway. How did you get your update? I'm not sure if I can use PCC with a custom ROM.
I tried the Sony Emma flashtool earlier but it only had the 4.1 (.344) version

It was through PCC mate. I had my tablet connected this morning with no update, so it's obviously only been out for an hour or so.
Just installed, and I'm actually rather enjoying it! Alot better than what screenshots have shown.

Thanks. I'll try Emma again soon. Ironic really - Emma is a Sony developer tool which is meant to give updates a bit sooner than the usual methods

For those of us that are on Cyanogen, is there any way of finding out if the FTF has any important firmware updates in there?
I can rename the .370 FTF to ZIP and see all the sin files, but the vast majority I am unsure about.
Otherwise, I can always nandroid and do it that way

Relock your BL or wait for a ftf.
The problem is not using a custom rom and update with pcc (the rom doesn't matter but the kernel yes), it's when your bl is unlocked you can't update via SUS/PCC no more.

Once the FTF is out and about is there a way of knowing what we need to flash (and perhaps how) to not affect our existing custom setup?

When you flash a ftf file with flashtool, deselect DATA in the wipe section (box in top right corner). That will preserve your data when you flash.

Ok, sounds like a good compromise
When someone uses PCC to download the firmware, is a local copy stored?
Just wondering what the chances of getting this file are!

I like everything is this update, except the recent apps tray. Swiping away should always be 'swipe across' not 'swipe up or down'.
Few new features might have been nice, but can't complain. At least it's arrived!
It also has the thumb keyboard!

Make sure you read the service information of the update and make sure it says 10.3.1.C.0.136. If it doesn't then its not 4.2.2.

Everything is great, but I have one problem that seems to be common so far... I can't change the lockscreen wallpaper. Anyone else have that problem?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I also am looking for the sgp511 ftf file

I wil try to make one following the instructions on xda.

I have made a FTF according to this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334653
- Device: SGP511
- Build number: 17.1.A.2.36
- Android version: 4.4.2
- Customization version, region, branding: Didn't understand how to find out this stuff exactly. Looked in the service menu etc., but there were different numbers...
It's a normal SGP511 without carrier branding, and it is a model for the countries IT,FR,EN,PL,NL,DE, so I suppose it's kind of European firmware version. Or global???
- Download link: http://ul.to/eqlrc7oc

Can you please upload that to somewhere else as I can't download from there (says too big for free users)

Would be REALLY great if more Taiwanese / Chinese users could confirm that the new .55 firmware resolves the touch problem!
Because other users then knew that they only have to wait until the .55 firmware is released for their region! (And must not exchange their devices.)

Would you also create a FTF file for the .55 firmware for model SGP511, that'll be much appreciated , cheers

And this is the first time ever anyone claims to have gotten an update at all. No one knows whether it's true.

The new firmware 28.0.A.8.260 is rolling out!

Good news, seems that the new FW 28.0.A.8.260 is rolling out today! First devices got that update in xperia firm, so lets hope for bugfix and better touch response!

Just downloaded and flashed via flashtool/xperia firm ..... no MM ... minor system update with bugfixes ... nothing new here ... Better performance scrolling, wiping etc. No more lags with nova launcher. Touch also seems better on first sight.

Thank you ! One question, seems that pc companion update is not working today...update check doesn´t work, maybe problems on sony´s side?

It offered me the update here in Austria with Bootloader unlocked Generic German FW .... But i couldn install because of the unlock so i went the flashtool/xperia firmware route ....now i miss the root on the new update -.-
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app

Youre right bro!!! Seems good news....
Fingers crossed hoping a better keyboard touch response and optimized RAM managing.
Edit: After installing it, noticed an smoother screen scrolling and an AWESOME touch response, even with a 0.3mm thick tempered glass screen protector, the keyboard response is Perfect!!!
Good Job Sony.
Just Rooting W/O unlocking left

Hi !
Do you think i can skip .251 and wait the Z4 will propose me the .260 directly OTA ?
Or should I first go through .251 to be able to get to 260
I have not yet upgraded to 251 because of the touch issues...
Thanks.

It should be no problem to flash directly to .260 with flashtool if the touch issues are better. Will update my device today with flashtool as pc companion don´t give me that option since yesterday...maybe the servers from sony mobile are not reachable within pc companion but flashtool and/or xperiafirm is the answer

Not enough easy for me
Should you create the ftf file with or without the .ta files?
I tried without but got an errror when flashing my tablet. Some guides says with .ta and some says without.
Thanks!

You should create the ftf file with all the files downloaded with xperiafirm, than everything should work

androplus kernel is working on update, so I really hope that someone will make a flashable -maybe prerooted- image for TWRP.
I finally rooted+recovery after months of waiting, I'm really too lazy to restart from a FTF

One day after update my FW i think i can say it´s an improvement in touch! No problems so far will hope this problem is finally resolved!

Does anyone know if it would be safe to flash another region firmware to my tablet?
Needing this update but hasn't been released to me yet.
Mine has carrier branded firmware, they are infamous for releasing updates VERY slowly, if at all.
If it is safe, which region would you suggest?
I live in Australia.

no problem with WiFi tablet SGP712

Choose any FTF with should work with your preferred character set.
With the LTE versions there could be some differences with enabled radio bands or not. I would try a HK version first.
Head over to xperia cross devices. There you'll find a thread about unlocking all radio bands. Dunno if it works with SGP771.

Thanks for your help.
I am going to flash a HK version today and see how I go.
Is there many differences?
This won't affect having an Australian BKB50 will it?
(Sorry for so many questions, I'm new to this)

you will tell us
So far I have flashed CH, central Europe and DE without any problems to my SGP712.
And this tablet has seen several continents (not AUS).

I am having trouble getting it to boot into flashmode.
Every time I try, it just turns on?
I have reinstalled drivers, completed a factory reset.
It is driving me crazy!
Any ideas?
EDIT: I got it. Ended up holding down volume down while it booted off and it worked.
Thanks for answering all my questions
I appreciate it!

No .260 in the UK yet so I fancy "flashing". Just one question, I understand that I can use firmware from almost anywhere but what does "customized" mean in the Xpreifirm tool? I have an unbranded SGP712 so don't suddenly want to be locked into a vendor's bloatware!
Thanks

A word of caution if flashing an ftf. Make sure MXTP is disabled - especially if you reset after flashing or you will brick your tablet. This because I was stupid and forgot, resulting in my tablet having to go away for repair. Point of note - Sony UK offered to fix it but quoted 7 - 10 days turnaround. O2 did it in 3.
