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'?
Edit: What network provider are you using?

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.

Sorry my internet takes too long to upload it again. Mega has been a very popular site today and it's very easy to download as well.

NFC logo
Can someone confirm, does this build has NFC logo in status bar when turned on?
And if not, guide me to builds, which has one. I know, that France build has it, but it has too much of bloatware, which I don't need.

I thought all the 757 firmwares had the nfc bug

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.

Only for the C6909 so far, the C6902 and C6903 are still showing 14.5.A.0.283 as the latest certified firmware. Typical, I only just reverted to the 14.4.A.0.157 firmware as I was so sick so the constant redraws, lag and reduced battery life in Lollipop. :-/

how can i go back to 4.4.4 without working flashtool cus windows 10? now im on stock rooted and advanced kernel.

This is the pre-rooted zip file I flashed in recovery to revert back to Kitkat on my C6903: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7k41GQcmxPEOFdOa0pPMUFyc1U/view?usp=sharing
This was provided by another XDA user, @NexusGTS I believe, but I cannot find their original thread to link to. It is the Customised_BAL version, so no carrier branding, no unwanted apps I could see and it's for the EURO-LTE band.
All I did was copy the linked zip to my Z1 sd card and flashed it in recovery. Make sure that you wipe davlik/data as you are rolling back a major OS version.
