Getting pretty worried here. Have tried every day since this came out to get the OTA notification on my SPG512 I purchased from Sony Mobile in the US. Updater still says my .36 is the latest version even though Sony web site says .402 is available. I have tried using pc companion too and still no luck.
Is the rollout still going on or did they halt it? Anybody in the US get it yet?
I got the .402 update from the pc companion. I'm in the US and have the spg511. I got my tablet from Sony Mobile in the US as well. You may also want to try the Sony update services as well, since pc companion didn't work for Windows 8.1 it also gave me the update too.

I don't know how to retrieve the file when using the sony update services unfortunately. If you know how to do it or if someone else knows I would be willing to do it. I would assume it's a US version since I bought it from the Sony Mobile USA site.
I am in the same boat.
I have the 512 and no matter what I do, I am not getting the update. However, users of the 511 variant are reporting updates. There are even FTF for the 511 on xda but not for 512.
I have the 512 which I bought online from the Sony store. I live in Florida and check daily for the updated firmware. Nothing to date since I purchased it last month. I have used the software update on the tablet, as well as both the PC companion and Sony's updater from my pc...nothing so far. The website says that ...402 is the most recent firmware update, but then says I have the most up-to-date firmware.
Hmmmm.
is there any difference between the 511 and 512 besides internal memory? Why would 511s get the update and not 512s......

I would like to know too. It makes me feel bad about paying more but getting less support.
just flash the ftf file...
I would love to know how to do that.

In order to know how to do that you have to do something that, although very very difficult, is doable for you, if you really really make an effort:
Read the forums.
I have rooted my G Pads in the past.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Yes, we know, you are the master, but flashing a FTF has nothing to do with rooting...
Does anyone have the ftf for the sgp512 that came out before the .402?
I didnt even get 402 yet and the have a newer release?

Finally got the updated firmware. Made a world difference. No more freezing. Just put an order for the new Tab S. Might have to cancel now.

Lol. Yup it's official. Sony Ericsson has just announced that on May 31st the update was released. So approximately about 6 to 8 months later the United States got there update. I'm glad I flashed generic though. Congrats to those of you who were afraid to flash generic firmware via flashtool. Lol

That's about how long it took them to update their windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5 after Microsoft gave them the update.

Well its not SE's fault. The one to blame is At&t who declared EOL after a month or two and refused to update.
Just out of curiosity, which baseband/build number is the AT&T update?
lol, last man standing
I bet Google had something to do with this.
Firmware 2.1.A.0.492
Baseband 2.1.65
Rootable with flashtool.

Yes, At&t branded. I haven't updated myself. I'm running WB CM6, and don't have the time. However, in my At&t guide to update to 2.1 people have.

I also requested in the baseband thread that someone upload it.
u just need to find blob_fs files... do a search for how to convert blob_fs files to .sin files for flashtool compatibility...

More than that, it's an improved camera application. Autofocus on both still and HD as well as Face Recognition in the movie mode.
I'm going to a wedding in a few weeks, face detection in movie mode would be interesting to have.... I've downloaded the tft, I'm considering it, since it's definatly rootable....
I just have to remember to restore my TiBackup as USER Apps and Sysdata....
Is the multi touch just dual touch or have they actually incorporated more than two fingers?
And can someone upload the new camera and multi touch apps.
thanks.
Wait, so the att version has more features? And is it as smooth as 2.1.B.01 or laggy?

Did anyone else lose "H" or HSPA mobile data, and go back to 3G max?
How about enabling "unknown sources" for apps? Even after rooting, I cannot install Root Explorer or Titanium Backup!

You need to restart your phone after rooting if I remember correctly and install busybox from market. You can enable Unknown sources from SuperOneClick.
I just flashed the 2.1.65 BB from the AT&T FW. I used it for like 30 mins and did not notice anything different. I went back to the 2.1.54 FW of the X10a generic kit. My concern was that after you flash the 2.1.65 BB from the AT&T FW, in the hidden menu, under software version, the phone is identified as an ATT -user and NOT GENERIC - user. This may be a problem when 2.3 is released since it will only be available for generic kits. Anyway, I am back on 2.1.54 BB from the .435 generic kit.
Although I appreciate AT&T finally releasing their build of 2.1 for the X10A, I'll stick with the Sony Ericsson generic world 2.1 release instead.
For those going with AT&T's version, remember that you'll end up getting:
AT&T bloatware (removable after rooting)
Unknown Sources in Settings > Applications removed (can be enabled after rooting - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9588447&postcount=3 )
Data locked to '3G' (you'd lose the 'H' data connection, where available)
AT&T branding (you'd never get access to Sony Ericsson's upcoming Android 2.3 update for the X10)
Is the new AT&T 2.1 build that much better than the generic one? Face recognition in video recording mode...is that really a handy feature? Is it better on the battery? Is the touch screen smoother? Reception better? We need more AT&T X10 users to chime in.
Just saw the update pop up on my phone. I am only on Wifi as well.
Did a quick google and this seems to be the updates with the new Homescreen (with themes!)
I won't pop the update as I am on an unlocked BL. Probs gonna wait till someone posts a flashable update.
Not available for me...

Well I already had the latest 10.4.1.B.0.109 firmware installed and that is what is on it after the "update"
I honestly can't remember what the update said in the window (was excited lol). But I assumed it was KK as it was a 768Mb file.
Something has gone wrong as it hasn't updated anything (same ver before and after)
well sometime it's pc companion that is updating and not the phone or tablet ......

I am overseas, travelling with my 311, and tried to do a backup using PCC. It won't let me for some reason, but came up with the update notification.. I am thinking, wah, brilliant, there is my Kit kat.. It took me nearly 11 hours to download the whole upgrade package using the hotel's woefully slow connection. Anyway, downloaded, installed, and restarted my tablet according to the instructions.. Voila.. 4.3... But then I was already on 4.3.. Sony ??
I think I know now, Sony "Entertainment" is back in action ...
:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Did it say 4.4 as my mac updater is showing the same version that I am on, as I previously updated with a generic rom and not specifically a uk one.
It seems it wants to update me to the same rom that I am on....

Mine updated from Android 4.3 built number: 10.4.B.0.0.577 to Android 4.3 built number: 10.4.1.B.0.109
No kitkat here
Edit: Found this -
"Sony Xperia Tablet Z (LTE) owners saw their tablets updated to firmware build 10.4.1.B.0.101 in the beginning of February. This Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware brought an enhanced user experience, improved battery life, faster shutdown times and software performance improvements including better Bluetooth connectivity.
Well, Xperia Tablet Z (Wi-Fi) owners have had to wait a month, but their tablets are finally receiving the same update – moving from build number 10.4.B.0.577 to 10.4.1.B.0.109. The update is out across most territories including the UK, Germany and the Nordics. "

Yeah I already had the 109 firmware before, it just updated to the same version
Maybe its something because KK update was for LTE versions. Wifi version is still on the way and 311 is a Wifi XTZ

Had this twice now through PC companion on my 312 wifi, it just replaces the 109 build with another, some dope will have packaged up the wrong build or something!
Is your tablet rooted or non-rooted? If it is rooted, that may be your problem. I know if you attempt updating a rooted tablet via OTA, the entire firmware will be downloaded to the tablet, then the tablet will reboot to install the firmware but will fail, and the tablet ends up still having the previously installed firmware. Perhaps PC Companion is similarly failing to install a firmware update because your tablet is rooted.

No, I don't. I just updated. If you already have .69 TW you can update via PC Companion/Sony Bridge.

Any benefit to running the global firmware?
Got my phone updated to .402 from .55 two days ago via the PC companion. Touch sensitivity has been improved over .55, havent tried the camera yet though. But users have reported that it fixed the overheating crash.
