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?

Strange... I updated the phone, but it still is on 10.3.A.0.423.
Any way to check if another thing has changed?
PS: I have never flashed anything on it, I always used sony pc companion to update my phone.

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.

Even if I have NEVER flashed anything on it?
I've never even rooted my phone.
I opened a lot of apps, games, made a call, browsed a bit, and still no sign of lag or whatsover in the album or anything.
Will test more to see if it really fixed that.
Guys, I am tired of test my phone!
The lags really seems to be gone!
Must be a bugfix update!
Please someone else test to confirm!

Great to hear!
Now it would be interesting to get the fixes that this same firmware have.
I've just updated. It's still .423, but the Customization Number changed from R2B to R3B

Nice. Didnt notice that. >: )
Any way to get a list of what has changed? Or maybe it is just the lagfixes, since the build number remained the same.
am currently updating as we speak
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...

Nothing in Oz.
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.

Flashed using the latest flashtool, lost my camera. Just a black screen. Other apps declare they cannot connect to camera... trying to figure out what went wrong. Hopefully it didn't brake my TA.
Edit: I am sure I flashed danw_oz's TA onto my device. I have no TA backup. I think I am ****ed.

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.
flash rom
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
When I flash UK-Vodafone firmware SuperiorAuto can capture 20MP but in Europe firmware can 8.3MP in SuperiorAuto mod,why is there difference?

I am not sure because I am always too impatient to wait to see if an OTA arrives there is no reason why not, you just receive carrier specific updates

Cool, sorry for all the hassle, I am in the process of uploading a cut of the FTF that uses a generic loader rather than the one from my phone, this fixed issues before with the Xperia Z
Just confirmed, you definitely get OTA updates with this region.

mmm I think I may give it another 2 weeks and see if our slack network provider pushes the update. They're generally about 3 weeks behind the world. If nothing, then I may just give this a crack.
The question is, can I hold out for 2 weeks??
I see some FTF's have 20mp auto with the camera. Is this 20 or the normal 8mp?

It's not worth waiting , this update makes your phone really fly, and better battery, camera is slightly better, I don't seem to have 20MP, but am sure it will be ported to work soon
I can't wait OTA. I did up upgrage via PC Companion. Phone is flying now. I did flash generic AU to debloat all Telstra stuff then upgrade to 4.3.

I purchased a Telstra branded Z1 C6903. I can confirm after installing generic stock Australian firmware that PC companion recognises my phone as a generic C6903. I would presume that OTA will be the same. If not, I know I can always get future official updates through PC companion anyway.

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
Nearly flashed that and all.

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.

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)

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 ...

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.

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.

Yes, we know, you are the master, but flashing a FTF has nothing to do with rooting...
