Just updated to KK via the PC update service, downloaded 768Mb (ish) said update was successful. So booted the tablet and I'm still on 4,3!
Tried update again and it says I'm already running the latest software???
WTF?

Are you sure it was KitKat? Just curious, if the update window explicitly stated KitKat update..

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 ......

Just did exactly the same! Updated using Sony Update Service rather than PC Companion, all went fine but same version and build before and after. They're just teasing us!

Same, it updated but still on 4.3
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.

Hey all, I did a search and couldn't find an answer. SE PC Companion is prompting me to update it to version 2.00.142. Should I? Could it block me getting root access later?
Thanks in advance
Nobody can give you that answer, until somebody has rooted that......
If PC Companion is prompting you to update to some version, then it is PC Companion softwrae and not the Phone's Android System....
So go ahead and update it...
I updated the PC Companion and it has no changes.
Plugged phone in and no firmware update.
Still has same UI and sub-windows as older version.

PCC or SEUS can try to update your phone.
Most of the regions in the wold have no update and Sony has left out them in the dark.
at first I got my phone from Dubai and I even didnt had market in my X10.

From what I gather, ota updating is an update without connecting to a PC. I'm pretty sure the ota available on jerps thread is for Japanese x10s. I haven't tried that one yet as I'm satisfied so far with the r1fb001.
Hope this helps: )

Hi guys, I am on 10.3.A.0.423 and just got the warning in Sony Pc Companion that a new update is out!
Hope it fixes the minor lags.
Hope it is not a bug too, because I havent seen this new update being reported anywhere.
My customization number is 1270-5695.
So what is the update version?

Well, it is the same version. I dunno if it is the same version with bugfixes. I dont know how to check that.
But the minor lags seems to be gone, although it may be a placebo effect because I just turned my phone on.
I will use my phone more to see if it has improved anything.
you were using the wrong kernel for your 4.2.2 because it happens to me when i flash other kernel or flash custom rom the sony companion will give me the update as a new update but in fact it's the same.

Guys, I am tired of test my phone!

It is nice to see Sony making hotfixes this fast.
Actually, EMMA does not know about this update, so it's probably just an app update for the HK region installed by PC companion instead of through OTA...

I can confirm that the lag is gone, from what I can see till now, from everywhere. There is still a semi lag in the list where I choose Widgets. But with the former 4.2.2, the lag there was bad. I am still installing apps on my phone and after that I can test correctly. Now there is no lag on Lockscreen Widgets, before when I slided down the Widget, I got lag, now it's smooth. I tried hard to make the main screens and Drawer pages to lag and 0 result. So Sony hat down with this update.

Ditto here. I have a SIM-free UK phone bought from an independent retailer and never received the second 4.3 either (in any form). Do you think your network operator affects the OTA update if you bough SIM-free from an non-network-operator? (I'm on O2-UK network). Was your brother also on Giffgaff like you?
As for your 4.4, did you receive an OTA update notification as well as via PC Companion?
Hang on... why is this 380mb when the others are usually 980mb odd?
EDIT: Wholy shoot..... glad I caught that in time. The download couldn't have worked properly. PMSL

When you guys upgraded to KitKat without wiping your phone first do any existing apps get removed so they have to be reinstalled?
I ask because I just read that due to the new SD card restrictions done apps could be deleted when the OS is updated to KitKat.

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......

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.
