ARC 4.0.2+ update LIVE

hi. i just got this from my centrals (Sonyericsson service point).
4.0.2+ live for ARC via EMMA. sonyericsson official updater.
do not know if this is possible via Update Service.
good luck

Can you upload a system dump? if you have it on you Arc?

Μάριε.. γιατί μας αναστατώνεις??
Can you give us some more clues??

i do not own an ARC guys. and do not have any right now to service. i just got the news for me via our online training.

Thanx for the info Marios.
I hope it will roll out soon! ;-)

I can check EMMA for the Arc S and Neo, I'll get back to you guys.

damn nice news !
keep us updated ambroos =)

Nothing on EMMA for LT18i Customized Belgium, nothing for MT15i Customized Netherlands either. I can't check all available services at home without the dongle... I'll see if I can find out more tomorrow, but I doubt it'd be anything new, aside bugfixes.
Sony Ericsson has said before that there will be no more Android updates before ICS.
Nothing on PTCRB either... (http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=18648)
Sony Ericsson can't release new global firmware without getting it certified at PTCRB. As long as nothing new shows up there we won't see anything new either.

What do you mean by this? Android version or build number?
If it is the build, then its not that new. 4.0.2+ build is just gingerbread

What's the 4.0.2.D.0.5 build that's appeared on PTCRB?

Heavily branded at that!

Wasn't some time ago discussed that "D" stand for Dev build?
Probably nothing to be excited about.

A buids are consumer builds, B/C/D builds are either (heavily) branded or developer builds. Not worth using since they only get very irregular updates.
For now there is no newer official build than 4.0.2.A.0.62.

Download the flashtool application which is listed in the original post.
Install the application, then run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe, you need to then select Xperia Z, Flashmode Drivers & Fastboot Drivers, see attached.
Then follow the instructions on how to use Flashtool, this can be found on the page link if you go to the developers website.
There is information on the Sony Website also http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

Look like the NFC icon only works on UK rom. That's why I still stay at 350 UK rom and wait for officially 434 update.

Who's your operator? Or are you unbranded? It's available on the UK sony website, but whenever I try to update on my unbranded Z, it says I'm on the latest software. I might just flash this rom as I'm probably going to root in the next couple of weeks so will fix the NFC problem then anyway.

No, you don't have to do that at all! Just use the Flastool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907 and place the ROM in the firmware folder and follow the prompts. It's that easy. I have done with mine.

no offence to the OP but the media server used to distribute this file is effing awful... Can someone mirror this file elsewhere??

New update is out? I am on 4.2.2

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?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

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.

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!

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.

No update in The Netherlands yet

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.

MD5 is 74E1F5D4249D98C19340E9E380E2400D.

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.

Xperia Z4 tablet and Android 7.0 Nougat

Hi,
Good news,it seems that Sony would plan an update of our tablet:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2016/08/23/sony-xperia-and-android-7-0-nougat/
thank you to Sony to keep this tablet up to date

Good news. But I guess it'll be after new year(((

Very good news. It's nice to see great support for this tablet.

Great news! This will likely be our last significant update - and I'm guessing the Z4 Tablet is probably Sony's last entry in that segment of the market, too* -- so hopefully Nougat is all it's cracked up to be!
* The Tablet Z, Z2 Tablet and Z4 Tablet were all announced on almost exactly a one-year schedule. That means we should've expected a replacement last late February / early March. The fact we've gone 18 months without a replacement suggests strongly that Sony has given up on tablets.

Seems like other companies are toning it down too
