No 4.2.2 update yet. Xperia Z

Hi,
I am from UK and bought unbranded Xperia Z from Vodafone on the first day. Still have not got the 4.2.2 update through the phone or Sony PC Companion. I have not rooted the phone yet, as I am not that well verse with how to do it..
Can anyone tell me or give me links as to how to backup my data and update my Z to 4.2.2. Tried to do it from the links in the forum. Just confused as there are several of them, not sure which one to choose.
Thank you for the help.

Unbelievable you are..

Sorry, we're both on the same boat, no unbranded UK firmware updates. Still waiting for an official reply as to why this is happening.

Sorry guys but Sony's employee who is responsible for this update died 2 months ago,and only him has the password(top secret).
So during this 2 months,don't think that Sony has sit doing nothing,no... they still trying to hack his password but to no avail.
To Be Continued....

worked for me

Yeah, the unbranded UK owners are probably one of the last left to receive this update. I've been tempted to flash the Vodafone branded one as I'm with them anyway - just been too lazy :cyclops:

Just flash C6603 firmware from other country
If you really want 4.2.2 then just download flashtool and flash another countries un-customised firmware (I chose Spain, but it doesn't matter which one you use just make sure you flash the correct firmware C6603 or C6602).
Your phone does NOT have to be rooted
Your phone does NOT need recovery (CWM/TWRP)
and when UK Generic firmware gets released hopefully someone will upload the .ftf file and you can flash that (although there will be minute differences)
To recap:
Download flashtool
Download official 4.2.2 ftf (any country)
then once flashtool window is open then DRAG the ftf into the window and it will flash.
It's very easy, I encourage you to do it :good:

The device heats up less easily. That alone makes 4.2.2 worth upgrading IMO

Pretty much this. I feel bad for UK users but i'm in the same boat - Orange Romania sure take their sweet time trying to bake in all their useless bloatware. Vodafone Romania has had the update out for 3 weeks now.
I just have to find some time to flash an unbranded FTF (which will also get rid of the bloatware from Orange)

Wow really ? My xperia Z UK on Three got the update 2 weeks ago OTA.
Yesterday I got a notification on the desktop app about the update, so maybe it's a slower roll out :/

This isn't a surprise to me to be honest, I had this with my desire hd, which was one of the first to come out. It was always the last to be updated, and this Xperia z is the same. One of the first batches to come out. It'll get done eventually.

Just flash one of the many stock original sony ftf that are all over xda or online. I do not see the issue. Work fine isn't very complicated and u will have 4.2.2.

Still waiting for 4.2.2 update on my stock Xperia Z. Shocking that network variants that have to go through more testing and red tape are being released before a stock fw. Sony really need to get better there!

While I agree it is pretty appalling service from Sony I decided to flash another region. Chose Generic DE in the end, seems to be identical save for the nfc icon which doesn't bother me.
Best decision I made, now I can actually enjoy the phone and look forward to quicker updates. Would be like I had bought the phone from Amazon Germany, which I did with my O4X as it had not launched in the uk anyway.

yep, it took ages, but the UK is finally caught up with the rest of the world.
NOT encountering any issues so far with .244!

. 244 is a huge improvement, speed wise over 434. I had seriously bad slow downs on that, apps would take seconds to switch and open, gone immediately with this build. I updated via PC Companion and rooted with the 434 kernel.
It would be nice to see these FTFs released with separate kernels we can flash back to after rooting.
EDIT: The main reason I suggest it is for people who don't download the FTFs (due to slow speeds etc) but update via Sony, and just need the kernel to flash back after rootong. If you had the FTF you could just exclude everything else anyway so it's a non issue.

You can create your own ftf that include only the kernel by following the guides available here.

Of course I can, but then everyone would have to do the same, when they wanted to root newer ROMS with kernel changes, it was just a suggestion to help everyone else out a little

Everyone wouldn't have to create a 'kernel only' FTF if you uploaded it and shared it here after you created it, just like everyone hasn't got to create this complete FTF.
In any case, all of the 244 releases use the same kernel, so the FTFs released by DooMLoRD in his rooting thread are all that's needed for now.
In the case of future updates, if I create and upload an FTF, I will most probably include a kernel FTF in the post for rooting purposes.

What do you mean? It's a C6603 rom, therefore has LTE support.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. What does it say under 'Working bands'?

What network provider are you using? The option might only show up if your provider has LTE capabilities (not sure on this).

it was there on the .423 custom rom I was using and i'm on three

Flash the firmware with full wipe.
It should be available in the menu even if you don't have lte service.

yeah that is my next option a full wipe, pain in the arse mind

Ah, the LTE option should always show up then. I was unsure on that.
In any case, 3 UK don't have LTE yet, do they?
If you want the option to show up that badly, then try flashing again with no wipe first. After that, if it doesn't solve the issue, your only option is a wipe.
Perhaps something got messed up if you flashed over a custom rom with no wipe.

Sony Z2 d6502 not getting an OTA

Guys my Sony Z2 d6502 isnt getting any OTA 5.1.1. Should i be worried? I did a factory reset and nothing changed. Its stock and unrooted and updated fine to 5.0.2. It seems every one else have already received an update. So is there any fix. Or does any one one know why am i not getting the update. Thanks in advance for your help.

Which country do you live in? Do you use a branded phone? These factors influence the updates.
Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk

I live in Bangladesh. And my phone is'nt operator branded. The thing is one of my friends has a D6503 and he already received the update 4 days back. And that's what has got me worried. Thanks for the reply mate.

Is your date and time correct? A few days ago mine is wrong and I can't get the 5.1update. Now it's OK.

Unfortunately, I can't download the update because I have root and recovery installed
