Late March / early April for arc S, neo V, ray.
Late April / early May for arc, PLAY, neo, mini, mini pro, pro, active, Live with Walkman.
With our unlocked bootloader, I'm sure someone will make a CWM package for arc out of the arc S update.
On-topic: I'm definitely going to try bringing arconium to this version once I can grab the .ftf files.

Can u please link to firmware.
my phone doesn't show any available update

It's not out yet. It's only certified yesterday, so probably will take few weeks before this firmware appears in the SEUS or PC Companion.

its for both device

Just downloaded it from SE PC Companion , first view....i think it left more free memory than usual, it lefts about 220-230MB free after clean installation ,usually on previous versions 180-200 MB free, i think it has less bloatware, will see it better later to find what has changed

Upload it mate ..

Is it really out?

1254-2250_r5d

If it si out on the market the .69 firmware and certified for Arc and Arc S(see wotan), where to download for Arc or how to update OTA? It is a must to have a 62 generic Germany and after update OTA? It is a good ideea?
maybe .69 can be rooted normally.
Thankx.

It seems that the Light Sensor (if that was every working as supposed to!) is no longer auto-updating the screen brightness:
In the previous fw when clicking the low/auto brightness widget icon it resulted in either lowest value or an automatically determined one (based on environmental light?).
Now it only goes from lowest to the value set in the Display->Brightness->Slider Value Setting....
Anyone else facing this?

(Updated 05/06) 3Weeks on UK Unbranded & România still waiting for 253 firmware!

From what I’ve read France, Germany & UK have not yet received the official update and I for one am not keen to touch another man’s blobs or any of his zips for flashing, yuck! So to cut the wheat from the chaff I thought I’d start a thread so we would have a single place to update each other on when it’s available, how we’ve got it etc.
Update 16/05/13 14:00GMT
France – Rolling out, multiple conformations, removed form title (you lucky so and sos!)
Germany – (T-Mobile & O2) rolled out via PCC, unbranded still no update (very weird!)

Romania – have joined the list, welcome, and nothing for them
UK – still nothing!
Update 16/05/13 16:00GMT
Norway – Rolling out, PCC, multiple conformations
Finland – Rolling out, PCC, multiple conformations
Update 17/05/13 08:30
Denmark – Rolling out
Germany – generic still nothing
Romania – No update
UK – 3 & Vodafone rolling out (YES THAT’S ME WOO HOO!) 02, EE, Unbrnaded – Nothing, sorry chaps!
Slovenia – Rolling out
Sweden – Rolling out
Switzerland - Have added, welcome, still nothing
Update 20/05/13 12:00GMT
Germany – Unbranded, nothing
UK – Unbranded, nothing
What the hecks going on!!

România - Still waiting
You can only hope you jump a patch and go straight to 307

03:11 PM: Still no update in Germany (C6603, unbranded, Stock, no root).

Where did you find the Information about a roll-out in Germany? can´t find anything yet...but let´s wait together

Sorry for the confusion no Germany isn't roling out yet.

Cool
What I'd be more interested in knowing is whether or not _anyone_ has received it OTA, or all via PCC. Since OTA seems the only way to keep root at the moment.

It wouldn't surprise me if Sony doesn't release it OTA for exactly the reason that we can preserve root this way. I aldo got the .434 via PCC, I imagine people got that OTA though.

All my updates have been via PCC the only OTA updatres I've got have been for Sony app updates

Still nothing over in the UK

I received the. 434 via OTA in the UK, But still no .253 yet.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium HD app

Is there anyway of checking against the Sony servers to save us keep plugging phones in to PC Companion or checking OTA?

No, that's sort of why I started this thread. If as soon as someone gets the update they let us know I’ll change the title. So instead of keep checking your phone you can check for this thread instead.
But let face it I’m going to check my phone every half hour anyway!

I have no doubt it's available via PCC, however, some of us would like to keep root, and hence the requirement for an OTA.

Don't laugh, but: I'm not sure.
I certainly don't have any kind of hardware branding. At the same time, I do have a preinstalled O2 app and O2 bookmarks in my browser. If that counts as branded, yeah, it is.
Download is completed. 253 is quite enjoyable already - the black software buttons are really so much better.

[C6903] 14.2.A.1.142 released for Telekom.de in Germany

BTW,
I'm building a tool that will let you download any Sony Xperia firmware's APP-SW, FSP, ELABEL and S1, which you can use with Flashtool to make a FTF bundle.

So excited to see what brings to us!
but seems that is just for the Z1 compact, as i have seen earlier today
cheers

It's not for the Z1 Compact... As I said, I scanned all C6902, C6903, C6906 and C6943 customizations, and this one showed for C6903.
Finally I'm returning from work and very soon I'll upload the FTF (already got the SIN_FILE_SETs).
Unfortunately, finding all changes will not be that easy since this branding jumped directly from 14.1.G.2.257 to 14.2.A.1.142, but I'll try comparing it to an unbranded 14.2.A.1.136, it might give some hints.

Please share any new thing you find (if any). My bet is that .142 (for Z1 and Z1 Compact) is a variant especially made for Telekom.de, with some minor modifications to suit the operator's needs, but that's my guess.

New firmware 14.2.A.1.142 certified for Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact .
Sony Mobile has just certified a new firmware build with version number 14.2.A.1.142 for the Xperia Z1 (C6902, C6903, C6943, C6906), Xperia Z Ultra (C6802, C6833, C6843, C6806) and Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503). This new firmware most likely brings some bug fixes and performance enhancements, given that the small incremental number upgrade from the last firmware (14.2.A.1.136)

[Q] Where's my 'Unlocked UK' galaxy note 4 lollipop update ?

Hi,
I've bought a new unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and I thought it did receive the lollipop update by now.. but when I checked if there's an update or not, it says to me that I got the latest update !!
I've got the KitKat 4.4.4 and my baseband version is N910FXXU1ANK4.
does this seems to be right or there's something wrong with my device ?!
I want to mention that in the beginning I put a non-UK sim and it said to me that the device is locked 'I think because I have to put a UK sim first', then when I change it to a UK sim it worked normally ... can this be the reason of not getting the update ?

Have you connected it through Kies yet? That's how I updated mine

The Vodafone Lollipop rom has been released ahead of the BTU (Network Free) rom.

Do you use the preinstalled network bloat? If not, then why not download an unbranded 5.0.1 from samfirmware. The DBT should be still the same, just change the language to English during setup...

Yup I bought the UK (international) unlocked version last week, and mine is still on kit kat 4.4.4. Keeps saying this is the latest version. I did email Samsung asking if they could just clear the confusion for me as to whether the lollipop update had been released yet. They just replied with instructions on how to go to settings and check for updates. I replied saying that was not what I asked. I know how to check for updates, I'm not thick. I just wanted to know if android 5 had been released for the unlocked unbranded version. Still waiting for reply ?

Yes, you don't need root and it will NOT trip knox. Download the firmware from samfirmware.com, on the download page, there is an instruction. It is very simple and easy.

If you look at sammobile.com it seems half the world has the update. Samsung doing a lousy job of keeping us updated.

B182 officially released

Huawei just pushed B182 to my C432. On German and Portuguese SIMs.
Security patch dated 5 April 2017.

Well, I guess I will receive it shortly after you guys on my Dutch Sim.
Just don't get it why I takes so long for the c432 models to get the updates.
To bad the change log is old. 6x zoom? It's already at 10.

I get the update last night :good:

Please can anyone confirms that in the network setting the "network aggregation" and "Volte" setting are not available? It seems that are now managed automatically.

Updated through firmware finder successfully. No obvious changes so far.

Hopefully the L09_C432 UK model will get update soon too!
It is embarrassing to have latest flagship phone stuck on January 2017 security patch, when 3 years older phones such as the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z3+ are on March 2017 security patch.
Does anyone know if the newer software have better lockscreen music/audio widget control support?
I'm using Pocket Casts; Audible, and USB audio player. All don't have widget control on lockscreen in B156 build.

+1 Bigmille you're completly right and it's incomprehensible from a company like Huawei, apparently they don't care of their customers security, i'm still too stuck to 156 in France, i'm checking daily ...
