Get the Update
For those like me who are trying to upgrade to version 7.1 (firmare 41.x) - by downloading with Xperifirm and trying to use Flashtool - note that Flashtool (As at this posting) needs to be updated to have this new version (41) added in the devices configuration..
A work around is to download a 39 version for a CDA which already received the OTA upgrade to 41, so that you change the CDA of your phone to the one which already received the OTA update, then your phone will automatically get the latest 41 version via OTA update...
in plain english:
Today there is Customized FR version 41.2.A.2.199 available however my device is not on this CDA so it does not get OTA update. So I googled F8132_39.2.A.0.374_1302-9341_Customized-FR FTF (Note the 39 in the filename)(there might be a newer F8132_39_xxxx available ) - Flashed my phone with this version using flashtool (This worked because this is version 39.X not 41.X which is not compatible on flashtool yet for our model)... then my phone could see the OTA update to 7.1 (had to upgrade to 7.0 something first)
My phone is not rooted or unlocked.

Downloaded 7.1 last night and installed with flashtool, works fine.

Why is Hong Kong region always left behind?

Weird. I tried to flash the Customized RU with FlashTool and it had issues processing userdata.sin. I had to use the Xperia Companion to recover my device.

Your flashtool might need an update.

Any news on daily use with this new update?
Just purchased my X perfomance, and really disapointed about the battery life.
Hoping to see some improvements in the finalization of Nougat.

Any one can share a link to the proper flashtool version for this new update?

This is fine and dandy but one problem... If you have a custom kernel... Sony OTA updates dont work... at all.......
So the remedy would be to wait for somebody to update the flashtool so it works with the latests firmware that just released...:fingers-crossed:

Would this cause the no loader found error?

Better to continue here with your issue, not really kernel related at the moment

NOTE: All 2011 Xperia firmwares EXCEPT build .62 can now be rooted directly using DooMLoRD's zergRush:
I repeat: THIS firmware CANNOT be rooted UNLESS you have an UNLOCKED bootloader and downgrade the kernel.
For UNLOCKED bootloaders ONLY:
DOWNLOAD: http://ul.to/tz3hl0yu/Recovery.rar
Steps:
Flash FTF via Flashtool.
Enter recovery with the command: fastboot boot recoveryARC.img
A recovery menu will appear in your phone.
Sets scripts assets: ENABLED
Flash RootXperia.zip via recovery. You have to copy RootXperia.zip to the SD card previously.
Reboot device.
If your bootloader is LOCKED:
Flash the previous LT15a .42 build here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491066
Root using SuperOneClick or ZergRush.
Update over the air.
This FlashTool file works on ANY Xperia arc (LT15a/i).
Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.
Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked (except for root).
This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).
This does NOT unlock your bootloader.
This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.
You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed. MIRROR: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6760938/Firmwares/LT15a arc_v2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic USA.ftf (262.27 MB, single flashtool file)
Please do NOT mirror files.
Also confirmed using TrevE's Logger Test App that this firmware does NOT contain the privacy invading rookit by Carrier IQ.
Thank for the new ROM,
Q: What are the differences between NAM ROM and other ROMs (e.g. Global)?
Q: Is there a HOPE that this ROM will be rooted some day for Locked BL?
Q: Is there a big difference between .42 and .62?
Thanks a lot in advance.

All the generic ROMs are pretty similar. Some may have additional languages or applications specific to the region (but not carrier apps). Frankly, it doesn't really matter. I've used Nordic, Hong Kong and UK ROMs all without issue.
As for rooting, it's CLEARLY STATED in the description:

As for the differences, I haven't seen any discernible, visible difference. Some users have reported better battery life, less lag, etc.
I just received a notification that this update is available OTA on my .42. I, however, "freezed" some system apps. If I restore those apps (I didn't do any other internal changes) will OTA work? or is there still a risk of "bricking" a phone so that i will have to factory reset it?
THANKS!
\\edit: took the risk, update was smooth (and surprisingly fast!)
\\edit2: never mind, the reason it wsa so "smooth and fast" was that update failed. Any idea how to make it work?

As stated multiple times: Update OVER-THE-AIR... (NOT through PC Companion...)
You have to have a SIM card in. You then force an update via Settings / About.

May be I was not clear. SORRY
At first, I flash .42 from the above link. I followed your instructions. I rooted the phone then updated over the air. The update was downloaded to my mobile. I pressed Install. The phone restarted but No update to .62!!!. Exactly same as matus201.
Then, I tried another way, I update through pc. the update works very well BUT it cant be rooted.
Any suggestion.
I know that usually when OTA fails, it's because some system apps were removed / modified. But if nothing was modified (as in your case, dajj) i don't know what the problem is.
@Dajj: can you try if OTA works if you don't root .42?
If I use OTA update, will it wipe user data?
no it won't.

Thank you for your answer. I downgraded to .42 and I have installed all my programs. I'll try to update using OTA maybe tomorrow or in the weekend.

Update to .62. I can't tell it is worth or not because I'm busy. But as others said, it has some improvement in battery life and task management.

Correct, I have downloaded the supposed new version using Sony PC Companion, but is the old one, not 108.
Ok, i tested 108, from thread starter,and is really nice update overall.
Nice score in antutu, apps opening noticeably quicker,1-2 new apps for camera, wifi delay no longer exists.
Totally recommend to flash this.

Tried the flashable zip, but it got stuck on the "Sony" logo. Left it for 30 minutes and nothing happened expect the phone getting very hot.
Flashed the FTF using Flashtool and that worked fine.

Make sure you are on .108 FW before flashing this
Also, you mean FTF not TFT
It stands for (F)lash(T)ool (F)ile
Silly question perhaps, but I'm still relatively new to the Android world and FTF flashing - I current have EURO-LTE_14.3.A.0.757 stock unbranded Central Europe on my Xperia Z1 C6903 (flashed back in April). Customization per secret menu shows R2C (1276-0875-R2C).
I see there are some ftfs up here for R1C and R3C but none for R2C - all Central Europe, so what is the difference between zone 1, 2 and 3?
Can I flash R1C to my phone, or do I have to wait for the rollout to reach me for the latest version? PCC is showing that I'm up to date, and I'm a bit scared to flash at the moment as PCC is acting up and refusing to create a backup of my phone...?? I don't muck about without a backup, ever.
I'm not rooted, bootloaded not unlocked (I'm still in warranty so won't be doing any of that until after my warranty expires) but I have flashed an unbranded stock rom to replace my branded rom (my service provider is a good 2-3 months behind with updates, very frustrating, nevermind the bloatware!)
Central europe 1 (1276-4318) is factory installed on devices for PL, CS and SK

You may use normal installed ubuntu with flashtool and this script or virtual-machine (not must this from nut)

Flashing this through the flashtool won't format any of the Ex/internal memories right?

Sorry I've been out of the android scene since JB so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with these files. Been trying to hold out for OTA update but it's certainly taking a long time so I'm looking to just flash another region FTF on my phone. Can someone point me to a guide or give me a summarized list of what I do with these files? I know I have to flash them using flashtool but not sure which one to use.

I had to restart the phone because the download wouldn't start, but it did following the restart

but it worked out

I think this B521 is 7.0 Beta, final Nougat is B560.
doesnt work for me on L29C185. doesnt list anything nor does updater app detect any new update.
I have c185 and it shows that i can download B560, but when I try to update, it stops at +/- 40%. My current system is B320. Do i have to get back on B190 to update?
My phone (used in the USA) is L29C185B180, and it shows a BUNCH of updates. Full & OTA.
I've downloaded and unpacked...but it's hard to drop the hammer and install. All of Huawei's
software says I have the latest official, so not sure if I will install or just wait a month for Huawei
to "officially" release it on their software updater.

I first installed NXT-L09C432B560 v74088 with Firmware finder for windows, then I installed the OTA update dated 03.01.2017 and filesize 431mb from Firmware finder from the phone. If you are going to install from phone, i would install the largest OTA dated 03.01.2017, then the smaller OTA with the same date after that. I tried installing one of the OTA's dated 20.01.2017 and ended up with test-keys build, had to downgrade to be able to flash the proper one.
Dear developers, My set was on NXT-L29C636B211 and I have successfully download the latest B521 firmware ,unpack and dbload created just need some confirmation before flash the firmware.
I would to know it's an official firmware ,warranty status and will it get any OTA in the future ?

What build were you on. Just double checking...since I'm at 180, can I jump all the way to the 560 build?
One other question, is this one dumping everything and setting it back to stock? No biggie...got everything
backed up...just don't have enough time to set it all back up this evening.
I Didn't download the OTA, I downloaded the full 2.2gb firmware from that app
the phone is now waaaaaaaaay better, and battery is even better

I have bootloader unlocked and root. Do I need to relock bootloader in order to use this method?
I was on L29C636B221 with rooted and TWRP. I used the Firmware Finder app to download L29C636B521 and update it to Nougat. It updated fine. I wanted to do a factory reset so I did. Half way through, reset was failed, but the phone was able to boot in. Now, it has no Gboard (sideloaded it fine) and the Build Number is NRD90M test-keys. Everything else work fine.
Any suggestion? should I dload it back to L29C636B221?
I can't get it to work.Here is a video of what I did start to finish.

I tried the 2 560 and the 520 ones using the firmware finder and proxy add-on. The update doesn't start downloading until you switch off the local host proxy setting. Once it is complete and it reboots to update it fails at 1% and I reboot back to my 320 firmware.
I have l29c185b320 firmware currently.

V20 in the UK - What SW Version are You On?

I have just bought a V20 from an Ebay seller.
It comes with Android 7.0 and it says that there are no newer versions to download.
However, my security patch level seems quite old being December last year.
The SW version details are as follows:
Android Version - 7.0
Android Security Patch Level - 1 December 2016
Kernel Version - 3.18.31
Build Number - NRD90M
Software Version - V10c-TWN-XX
Does anyone else in the UK with a V20 have more up to date software and if so how did you get it?

I see you have the TWN variant. Idk why but it haven't received the latest security patch.

So do all TWN phones have a security patch from December 2016?
Do other variants of the phone have later patches?
Go here -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
Download the following firmware -
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow instructions in OP and when in LGUP select Update.
You'll have newer firmware with security patch at 1 March 2017.
And use search function, this has been answered already.

I think so... At least mine still in December.
Yes, the majority of the other variants are in April/March security patch

Thanks for that.
I had seen that link but I had no idea if that would install a later version of software than I already have.
Just so I understand - why does my phone say that it is up-to-date if there is a later version of the firmware on LGs web site? (Where does the V20 check for firmware revisions?)
You're welcome. I was also supplied the link by another user, that's one of the great things about XDA and the members here.
Because a lot of us TWN variant owners don't live in the region the phone was released in we won't get OTA updates.
That's just how LG operates. I find it ridiculous that they release variants for different regions with different specs, hardware etc..
How do they come to the conclusion that the V20 will not be released in the UK and Europe?
People of some countries prefer 64GB but others will be happy with 32GB????
Wireless charging only for some?
Then there's the bootloader unlock farce........
This phone is really awesome and root would make it even more the perfect phone for me. But I knew what the situation was before I got it, and I'm still happy I own it.

Because the updated firmware is NOT meant for your branded TWN V20. It will work but you will not get any upcoming updates anymore. You will have to that maually.
Hi Pierre.
You're absolutely correct, but updating to where we are now is better than no update at all don't ya think?
And it's easy now to check for and install future updates :good:

Hi, you are absolutely right about that. And I think it's pretty safe to switch firmware. it's quite easy with LGUP. But maybe LG will surprise us the coming weeks with a fresh new TWN update
And a bootloader unlock too?
That would be awesome, I'm already missing all the stuff I was able to accomplish on my Z2.
H990DS can be flashed to same model firmware of other regions. My TWN H990ds had flashed to Philippines V10g and working without any problem , only two pop-up message after every system restart , but it didn't affect to any function..
Base on the hardware of H990ds is similar to H990n (HongKong) , I tried to flash to V10h(H990n) and it is working as well.
Both version's performance are better than TWN-V10c , i think it's worth to upgrade.
V10H-HongKong

Germany, LTE version, BTV-DL09C100B303 received OTA on July 19 ... it was a long wait :good:
I received my new U S m3 model about 2 weeks ago. As soon as I went online it offered the new nougat update. I updated and everything works fine.

Also it started to install some apps I did not had so far (deezer, news republic etc) automatically. Removed them and all is fine.

This is the current information.
As I said, before that I used the same version (dont know the custome version) but installed via huawai firmware updater
Thanks. What is interesting for me is that you have the same custom version. Because i read somewhere else that this custc100d002 version won't get an update. Ok, your update path seams to be not standard but there is still hope that i will get an update also...

My device also has version CUSTC100D002. Like I posted above, got it OTA.
I'm in germany and have no OTA Update until now.
Hello to everybody. I bought my M3 with LTE a month or two ago from Amazon DE however I live in Bulgaria(I use UK local settings for the tablet). I'm still at BTV-DL09C100B009 with which it came and I'm not getting any OTA updates. I keep it without SIM because my two cards are in my mobile phone and I don't need one for the tablet in everyday usage. I only use data-only SIM with it when I travel.
Anyway I moved one of my SIM's from my phone to the tablet in the hopes I would get the update and then return it back but still nothing. I even installed the latest HiSuite but even there it says I'm on the latest official build. Am I missing something? Why am I not getting the official update and is there a way to install it manually(FirmwareFinder perhaps? and how to differentiate it from the previous file with the same version)? Also from what version did you receive your updates when they came?
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
