New firmware 32.1.A.1.185 - Xperia Z5 Compact General

Just got the update. Don't know yet what's new.

Nothing visible so far, maybe some optimization and fix for the screen bug.

Only difference I can spot is that the network type (H/4G/LTE etc.) is now placed on the left of the reception bar instead of above it.

That didn't change for me though. I'm on E5803 Malaysian firmware. All I noticed was that the animations are faster and the apps are opening faster. That's it. Also no issues with auto brightness so far

FM radio is working fine now
No change to GUI whatsoever (CE version)

Tried Antutu benchmark after this update and score was 75601. Finally a decent score without putting the phone into freezer

I just upgraded too.
The default SMS app now has stickers(You actually have to download Sketch from the play store)
and there are some new quick share options at the popup menu that appears when you share a file.
Also, it says something about a revamped camera ui but I see nothing different....

It said that on first MM update also, but i guess revamped ui is referring to update that we receive already on october

Actually I had two updates. One in the morning - and FM radio worked.
Then another in the afternoon and FM radio broke again ...
Sorry for a bad news ...

I think with .185 update low light photos just got even worse in SA, instead of bluish tint now i got purple ones :S

I hope this fixes the wired and bluetooth audio stuttering.

In Lollipop you couldn't get system software updates OTA if you were rooted, but I just got a notification that this version is ready to install... I'm running rooted 32.1.A.1.163. Will I lose root if I install? Will it install at all? Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

If your bootloader is unlocked,then the only way to update, is to flash it via flashtool. OTA or PC Companion won't work

I tried updating with root and it failed. I also want to know if root is possible with thia update.

I'm using a rooted phone myself - while I use the DRM key emulation I know OTA updates will most likely fail so I will perform the upgrade manually.
Would anyone please check the Android security patch level?
If you go to System Settings - About phone. One entry says "Android security patch level" which is February 1st on the .163 version. Did this one increase maybe?
If so, it would be worth the hassle with Flashtool and rerooting and such for me to upgrade.

XXLRK Firmware (Germany) out

This firmware was just posted on the Sammobile website. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a 4.0.4 update to the LRG firmware or 4.1?

I think is an 4.0.4 update.

Added the "Quick Search Bar" to my homescreen. When I press it nothing happens (well, Google text turns green on-finger-down). No keyboard shows up. The voice input directs me to google.com (when saying facebook)
We are talking about the google search widget, right?
You can also long-press the settings key.

XXLRK is still 4.0.4
Downloaded XXLRK today on my german gt-n7000 in India. Still 404
The changelog for XXLRK
The large 24MB OTA update does not change the version of Android, but the Galaxy brings touch to firmware version XXLRK and the performance of the Galaxy increases note. The search will remain intact! But there is a slightly modified keyboard with large distances and significantly improved writing comfort
Will this OTA kill root access? or should I rather use Mobile Odin?

I did the OTA update altho i did see it in the samfirmware website as well .. i wonder, could this update also fix the brickbug samsung said would fix ? Altho i suspect they would make a big fuss about the update if this was the one which fixed the brickbug, eh ?
I have it. Its 4.0.4
However i want to root with cwm is there a cf kernel for xxlrk?
Anyone noticed in XXLRK, power_profile.xml is mentioning battery capacity as 1650 instead of actual value 2500? decompiled framework-res.apk and under res>xml you can find this file. I don't know if battery usage calculation can give bad result because of this? or is it ok? Anyone with advanced knowledge pls.
Asian 4.04 Update
Most of Asia received the update to 4.04 in the last few days. I am in Thailand but there was no OTA update but the update was on Kies. Since updating I am still wondering what it was supposed to do as I cannot see any obvious changes except that I have lost root. I thought it might be an update to keep us safe from the brickbug but who knows? Anyone able to shed any light on what the update is for?

I use the Thai stock ICS 4.0.4 but I don't think there are differences, but this is only a regional 4.0.4 update.
And I didn't see any post here describing something new in these end-of-july-stock-ROMs.
I kept root the long way (coming from GB rooted, and installing the new version with Mobile Odin Pro, adding Notecore 13 later).
When you switch to a safe kernel you do not have to hope for an official safe update anymore.

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

New 32.2.A.0.253 firmware rolling out

Quite a few regions rolling the firmware out today.
Apparently has "bug fixes and improvements" and "improved handling of bluetooth connected devices".
hello
can we just install the OTA on a rooted phone?
or i will need to root the new kernel again?
There are reports that the new firmware works okay with the .224 kernel - so you could install the OTA and reflash old kernel to retain root. It is also possible to use Rootkernel to patch the new .253 kernel but this will break TWRP until it is updated
yea that wat i was reading,
i still have my .224 kernel ready so will be easier
but curious to know what change in the two kernels

Do you know on 32.2.A.0.253 what about low incoming ringtone sound ...is it fix? Please!!!
I like dt2w and i want to use it but screen opening in my pocket, proximity check on dt2w not included in this update yet, this subject talked in sony forum and here but i think sony not listening users, i used samsung,lg and sony devices, i think Lg best about this because they are including user's customizations in the world with update.

You can go back by flashing the original firmware. You'll only have DRM issues which can be fixed/worked around by flashing a patched kernel.

It's kinda odd the source hasn't been posted nor has Sprint update their updates page. I still installed it. Not sure what I think yet.....I know I hate the menu from holding the recent app button is gone. And I hate they are now using the google emojis. Liked the LG ones much better. Themes do work or least the ones included. the default and two others. They do turn the system menus black. w00t w00t

Just installed it. Not thrilled that they moved the clear all apps button to the top of the page screen. Also the lock screen looks weird. All stuff I'm sure I'll get used to. Except for the clear all button. That's some mad bs.
I like it so far. It seems smoother and more responsive.
