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 -.-

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

No, your TA will be fine. When I upgraded it force closed the camera twice then after it was fine.
I am having another look at this file, because the FTF creation has changed slightly from the Xperia Z.
It shows an update on Sony Companion but not OTA. I am waiting for OTA coz I don't want to lose my root.

This is my first ever FTF flash on the Z1. It was a telstra branded phone.
I will note that I un-ticked 'data' under the flashtool wipe options on my initial flash of your FTF. I preferred to keep my settings intact, but that wasn't a deal breaker.
No matter what I did (re-flashing, rebooting, changing apps, etc), camera was broken for a couple of hours... I was getting a bit panicky.
I decided to let PC Companion to fix it by clicking 'your device is up to date' and in the pop-up selecting 'repair my phone'. It picked up as a generic 4.3 device, re-downloaded the 14.2 firmware and installed it. Part of that process is a factory wipe. Camera works now and I have firmware from Sony server. It is possible a full wipe would have achieved the same result, but I was looking for the most reliable, first try, answer.
Thanks for the FTF, though. I now have an unbranded 4.3 Z1.

I have a Telstra branded Z1, so if I flash generic stock Australian rom and change the software id to match will I still receive OTA updates like it was from the factory. Phone details are : model number: c6903 build number 14.1.g.2.259 software id : 1277-2878 r3a . thanks in advance

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???

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.

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

Sorry if this is a silly question....
I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy S3 which was soooooo much easier to tinker with. It had a new ROM every week. Anyway, still getting used to my Z2, which I have finally unlocked the bootloader and rooted following the instructions from DoomLord. Anyway, if I flash the 402 UK firmware will I lose root? Can I get it back again if so ? Please excuse my Sony related ignorance !

When you flash via flashtool you will lost root. But you can install the advance stock kernel from doomlord to have access to recovery again then install supersu
Any differences between this one and the Germany one ? I am currently have a problem with Germany version when it keep saying process.android.acore after a reboot. Wonder will version fix the issue?

Just a short info...
I'm from Croatia, tmobile branded device and flashing this firmware went very well.
Finally, 402 is on my device...
I tried to wait tmobile but they have to check Sony work, I guess they think they are smarter then Sony's engineers...
This is, actually nice change.
RAM consumption is better and firmware is faster and smoother... (flashed without any wipe)
Tnx mate for building and sharing ftf...

If you were refering to my post - yeah, today is even worse.
I think I'll download German generic and will try that..

I'll try German and will post results after testing.
It could be better...
On tmobile (Croatia) firmware 55 4g worked on 50-70mbps (in good covered areas, of course) but on this one, can't get more then 7mpbs (same testing location)

Crashing dialer
Hi,
Did anyone experience issues with this build ?
My dialer keeps crashing. I open it, it crashed, I try again, then I try to dial number it crashes. I got like at least 10 crashes per day, it is really annoying ...
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Just installed the UK one and it's brilliant!

Hi,
here is the flashable *.zip file wich installs latest Sony Bugfix Release of Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM 23.4.A.0.570 (Japan), latest SuperSu v2.49 beta (works stable for me since weeks!) and latest NUT Dualrecovery 2.8.21 with read and write access to system. Because device is Wi-Fi only region doesn´t matter. Only difference is maybe pre installed bloatware by region.
Thx to PRF Creator and Flashtool.
UPDATE - FILE DELETED. Please use Release from kulvertti
Of course i tested the release before uploading on my own Device. So far no errors found after upgrading.
I am not responsible for any damage to your Device or your Data! Be careful and make a Backup before flashing!
Tested now for some hours. Runs very stable.

Thank you so much, downloading to give it a try now. Hope that "No Service" on the lock screen has been corrected.

By the way, do you have the MD5 checksum of this file? I hate to download a corrupted file. Thanks.
No. The Checksum Creation is not needed and only optional at PRF Creator. Never needed it for myself.
I'd also like the MD5. After I download, I'll post it. But if anyone else already has it, please post.
Here's what I show:
d00b36c07fa696f5803eb7671be2c518
Obviously, it could have an error and be corrupted, but I expect it's right. I guess if I flash it OK, then we'll know.
Couldn't the "No service"in the lockscreen be fixed by a module in xposed, like Xperia Xposed? I know the author would have to add it, but there's no harm in suggesting it?

Tested and did not see much difference, the "No Service" in the lockscreen still there. Sony is either blind or deaf - did not see the bug itself or not listen to the users.:crying:
quick question
Sorry for the amateur hour question, but I am 100% new to this rooting bussiness.
Do I need to Root my Z2 tablet before I do this?
Is there anywhere a ELI5 guide for someone who has never rooted a device before and is therefore ignorant about all the terms (Prerooted, ROM, Kernel, Flashing, etc)
my tablet is updated to 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.0.546
Sorry for being a pain, and thanks in advnce for any guidance.
BTW, I already tried using KingRoot and it fails at about 16%

No gurantee. Better pack your own with the Tools from first Post. It's easy.
Just flashed .570 last night and this morning I'm not getting 5gHz Wi-Fi. My dual band router is serving both bands to other devices, so that works; it's successfully serving my SGP511 at 2.4gHz. Anybody else? More importantly, any ideas how to diagnose the problem (I'm stumped)?
Check your Router. No problems here using 2.4 and 5.

You're being misguided here a little bit.
You will not be able to install dual recovery because you will not be able to gain root. Your device is having lollipop, so exploits used to for gaining root will not work in your case.
What you need to do is to downgrade from LP to some kitkat version where the exploits will work. Then you'll be able to install dual recovery and only after that you'll be able to flash pre-rooted lollipop.
To downgrade you need to use FTF from FTF collection (version prior to or equal 17.1.A.0.402)
