To all my c5306 brethren - Xperia SP General

To everyone with a c5306 i was wondering if you all have gotten the 4.3 update via pc companion. I finally got the update via sony bridge for mac and could try and extract the ftf for whoever would like

Thanks for the offer. I haven't seen the update yet but I'm patient. I'll keep trying PCC and SUS. Sounds there's already a bug fix rolling out as well. What a mess.

News and other things regarding the 4.3 update can be posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516663

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 new Android 2.1 firmware is ready for download

http://hdtvsg.blogspot.com/2010/07/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-new-android-21.html
Just now i go to one of the SingTel roadshow, and they offer me firmware upgrade to Xperia X10, but since mine i rooted, i declined. I was thinking, i go back home, rebrand the phone again with SingTel firmware, then tomorrow i go back again.
But then i found this blog. Currently downloading the update, with very slow connection, maybe because many people using the internet TV to watch world cup final. hehe.
follow up will come after i done.
Hi.
The blog post is from two days ago, and doesn't seem to be anyone else mentioning it, so I'll wait and see.
Hope it is the 2.1 update but I somehow doubt it as no one else has mentioned this anywhere. This would be big if it was real so I'll wait for your follow up. Post pictures aswell
Edit: After looking at the blog correctly (lol) this is just the latest update for the Update Service. And if this is for the 23 version I still wouldnt download it...extremely minor update to 20 and less stable.
LOL! this isn't android 2.1 what a retarded blog. Its a download for the sony ericsson update service which happens to be version 2.10.7.15 so they thought its was android 2.1. and since when are ROMS 37MB? HA

In case you didnt notice, the download is simply the Sony Ericsson Update Service. This does not mean that it will update your phone to the firmware based on Android 2.1. Most probably you will just get the latest firmware i.e R2BA023. This release is most certainly not based on Android 2.1.

I thought as much, especially with the size too.
i can cross my finger only men. hehe. i need to rebrand anyway, and see what kind of update they have for SingTel Xperia X10. And what's more, the update service version IS NEW. worth to try. hahaha..
see the funny reaction ?? That was me lol...
Just logged into Update Service and my phone downloaded something, it wasn't 2.1, and it still has build r2ba020. Sony installed something but don't know what. could be trying to plug the root holes?

actually i cant cross ur fingers, the new version of seus prevents people from debranding, all those who are debranded cannot revert back to stock software, thus warentee voided, like myn this new seus just counter acts a few of our hacks
can ppl PLEASE stop posting about 2.1 or multitouch, im begginning to think they should be on a banned topics list, your all turning into apple "must have latest shiny thingy"

Hey Chetan, care tell everyone exactly how to do that using flash tool and omnius? I mean don't you need to get the decrypted files (*.sin etc) in order to be able to flash them with these tools.
The new updated SEUS can be used to obtain them but its clearly a long drawn complicated process.
After trying to rebrand my Xperia X10 back to SingTel for whole 2 x 45 of world cup final, then SEUS updates, finally updated to.... R2BA020 SingTel... with Creatouch preinstalled.
Expectation too high.. beuuuh.. well i was hoping for something because we know that SEUS updates is brand specific, and so far i never see any decrypted rom updates for SingTel brand or anything even related. so just may be. July is Q3 after all. hehe.
no 2.1 available yet...

Why not update via OTA for X arc?
I think there is OTA update for Arc.
But maybe this depends on place (CDA).
And maybe you must be update from .181 (when my NEO was .145 and check update on phone - before reflash fw .181 about few hours - it asked me update via PCC)
Confirmed:
- My friend's NEO has just updated from .145 -> .368 via OTA (76.6Mb)
with the same CDA 1247-0875

Not for UK Generic there isn't.
my question is that
when will there be -finally- any OTA update for countries where still it's not available?
in close future? or maybe not at all?
after each restart, my phone date and time goes back to 1.1.1980
I'm really frustrated! wanna throw this -****ty full of bug- phone right in the garbage!!!!
i hope such funny bugs be fixed soon!
i flash my phone to LT15i_3.0.A.2.181_Generic_World.ftf and then updated to 2.3.3 build 145 and it's really a mess!

I don't know which on you're using, but I just checked for updates on UK Generic .184 and Global Generic .181, and both OTA updates are still for .145 and not .368. (Going by the download size which is ~40MB)

The OP says he got it through Sony PC Companion, so that means he already has the necessary files on his hard disk to create an FTF.

This is what I've been waiting for a long time..But since bell was on 4.1 before this update, I went ahead and loaded the unbranded 4.3 uk rom from xda. Now my PCC says my phone is up to date. How do i get the bell rom now? do i have to load the original 4.1.2 bell rom from here first and then try PCC for 4.3 update? will that brick my phone ..(going back to 4.1)

You'll have to flash back to 4.1.2 bell (wipe your data) then I believe you can upgrade to 4.3. Unless he can provide an FTF to us, that is

[Q] Collection to DooMLord for EasyRoot toolkit for FW.201

What if we made ​​a collection, for example, $0.5 times to 100 people for DooMLoRD that he did Easy Root toolkit for firmware 201 I do not know if that's true, but I read that DooMLoRD ended development Xperia SP. So this could be a kind of motivation for the recovery of the partial support of this model.
Maybe $0.5 is small, maybe $1 will be better. Everything is about discussion.

Since this is the last Official firmware update for SP, confirmed by Sony, I don't know why/if DooM has said he won't support the SP anymore. I'm sure he can acquire the necessary files easily enough and get a fix out. How long did it take him to do the last one?
Confirmed?
The development of a rooting toolkit doesn't depend on how much money is put on the table but rather if there is a vulnerability in the .201 kernel that can be exploited to gain root access.

Guys, Sony has NOT confirmed anything about future updates or end of life status..
Well, they have sort of: unfortunately that post on that french forum was made on april 1st so there is no confirmation if this was either a joke or if it was real
Guys,
Doomlord has stated on his twitter that there will be no Rooting methode for 4.3 (201 build).. This is because Sony has patched older exploits and according to Doomlord there is no exploit in the kernel whatsoever that can be used to root the device.
So you can collect all you want but without an exploit it is just not possible..

They're not bringing 4.4 KitKat to SP, that tells me that they don't plan on updating the device further. We might get 4.3 patches, but nothing else.

Actually I think 4.4 will not come from Sony for SP, but still is not confirmed, until that, would be nice not confuse ppl about that
Why would you need to collect for doomlord?.
he already had this device a collection was made and he got it hence why we have root available in the first place

RLY? Xperiablog is not a official site from Sony (as u can read at the bottom of the site), actually, a lot of post from their web redirect here to XDA.....
And nobody knows who is that guy that post that thing (actually, I just remembered, I see that post first here then Xperiablog).... not to mention was posted on 1st april, and is not an official announcement
If I'm serious, I think Sony will no give us 4.4.... but still is not confirmed, so NO
Okay two things:
1: Sony has noting confirmed on their OWN blog! XperiaBlog is one made by fans!
2: For discussion about wheter we get the update or not: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516663
Another pointless thread.
So your all complaining that the latest firmware is laggy and still has issues, why do you expect that there will be another firmware?
You all moaned tirelessly "When is 4.3 coming out?" now you have it and its no good.
And now you want to root the crappy buggy firmware, and you MUST HAVE 4.4 on your sp!!!
I have stayed on 4.1.2 rooted it and put up with crappy wifi signals
I WILL NOT be buying another Sony mobile as they are no good at maintaining their phones firmware wise.
Every Sony firmware has bugs, and I for one am fed up with it
but downgrading and then upgrading is time consuming...you may have good internet connection but not everyone has it!! ONLY IF there was an availble tool to root .201 fw directly then it would be great for all the non rooted and LB xsp usrs

Just leave a computer on for one night.
There isnt any exploit so you cant do this other way. Make this with downgrading... or... Unlock BL - simple.
And I'm pretty sure when someone find any method for root this firmware you will get it.
