so this would trigger OTA update?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
Only when the new version appears in the 'OTA VERSION' column.

As long as it's only in the 'PC VERSION' column, you'll have to use your PC to update.

Prompt, R8B a newer firmware than R7B, R6B?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
R8B is the version of the customization package (e.g. the customization package added by 'Movistar CO'). You cannot compare this to other customizations, because they get updated completely independent of each other.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
C6506 Generic US was on 10.4.B.0.569, but oddly enough, they changed it back to two versions earlier (--> 10.3.1.A.2.67 --> 10.3.1.A.0.244) :eek:

PTCRB site has wrong firmware coding

See this image. The latest firmware is listed as 14.1 instead of 10.4! Here's the link
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
That's just a mistake. It should be 10.4.1.B.0.101.
[Sony Xperia ZL] pete4abw:
That's what I wrote. I think that this mistake could explain the difficulty in getting updates from Sony. Just a thought.
[Sony Xperia ZL] gduong128:
I emailed PTCRB about the wrong version. Let's see what they reply and if it will be fixed.
[Sony Xperia ZL] pete4abw:
I think parts of the whole Sony Update Service is borked. I reinstalled the 4.2.2 Firmware version 10.3.1.A.2.67 and PCC gave me an error about trying to reinstall the firmware. I've gotten bored on this and will just forget stock rom for a while.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
That's normal. When Sony PC Companion checks the latest available firmware, it also sends your current firmware build and customization revision to the server (see parameters in the URLs under 'Browser bookmark' in the OP). If your current firmware is higher than the latest available firmware on the server, it will receive an empty response and PC Companion will tell you that there is no software available for your phone.

The version is the same no matter if you get from OTA or PCC. Append your product to the appropriate link and you will see what is available for you.

Quoted from POST 1
[Sony Xperia ZL] RyomaEchizen:

New firmware release on PCC = OTA release?

Enviado desde mi Sony Xperia ZL (C6502) mediante Tapatalk 4
[Sony Xperia ZL] pete4abw:
Yes, the versions are the same. There is no special OTA version. It's just that SOME updates, are delivered at different times (may come first on PCC or OTA), and some updates are only available by PCC. But the firmware versions and product numbers are always the same after installation.

Good luck.

C6502 10.4.1.B.0.101 update

it looks like the 10.4.1.B.0.101 for C6502 models have stopped. I havent received mine after nearly 2 months, and i dont see the list on the 1st page updated at all. So... is this because they're prepping for the Kit Kat update straight away, or are us C6502 users, left behind because we're "insignificant"?? this has left me a little worried...
[Sony Xperia ZL] RyomaEchizen:
:confused:

Generic Taiwan and Generic India are B.0.101 C6502

Generic LAM was the first to receive JB 4.3. I hope it is also the first to receive KitKat :)

Anyone installed? Its lagg free? Or came with the same issues like the others regions?

In the past De version used to be first released update, but now is the last one.

The unique advantage that I realized, is that De versions became that last updated but without bugs.

There is no difference in bugs between regional firmwares with the same build number. Apart from the customization package (containing some bundled apps and settings), they are 100% the same.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
I find it interesting that the source version is actually a different rev number than the distribution version... (233 vs 230)..

Never understood that...
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Yep, so it took them 3 months to roll out a firmware.

ROLL OUT, not MAKE.

I had hoped they were gonna skip it because it was too buggy.. but unfortunately they are just 3 months late.

Have the bugs with play store draining battery been fixed?

To be honest, I'm thinking of staying on 4.3 because 4.4 literally offers nothing.. and only gives bugs, stupid drop down menu and kills SD card writing for apps.

Seriously, can anyone tell me why I would go 4.4?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
Sony's 4.4 fixes the SD card problem.

I like the drop down, but other than that it's utter **** and one of the reasons I'm never buying Xperia again. They make us wait three months for an update that's as buggy as the first release. Have **** customer support, and make you feel like the device you payed all that money for is just a crappy prototype.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
What SD card problem?

what i meant was 4.4 doesn't allow apps to write to SD
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
That's the problem, or do you not think it's a problem when an app can't write to SD card?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Yes it's a problem. So you're saying Sony's 4.4 doesn't have the restriction?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
Well since I said that Sony fixed the SD card problem, and that the problem is that apps can't write to SD cards .... No I'm saying that Sony cured cancer.

Of course I'm saying Sony removed the SD card restriction.

[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Well what do ya know... thats unexpected..

Anyway for me it still says .230 as OTA?

Is this because I'm still on 4.3? Do I need to install .230 before .283 will show up?

Also can anyone who has done the OTA tell me if root is retained?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cikoxda:
You can flash .238 with flashtool on top of 4.3 and you need to root again...see android develop section for more information...
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
I know but I wanna try and see if OTA also retains root... that way I don't have to flash anything :).

Apparently it does only show the next OTA not the latest.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
That's correct. A while ago, Sony started to release OTA update packages much faster, but only for the previous version. Before, they used to release update packages for all previous versions each time. Because of this change, you can no longer skip one (or more) firmware version(s) when updating OTA. Completely skipping a version now requires a computer to flash your phone (e.g. Sony PC Companion, Flashtool, etc.).

I've just updated to .230 expecting to find the notification of the .283 fw in the update center, but when i went to check it, it says i need a pc D:, is it no longer available OTA?

My phone is a C6506 USA - Generic US
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
All OTA updates to 10.5.1.A.0.283 are unavailable since the beginning of this week, no idea why. You can still update through Sony PC Companion/Sony Bridge for Mac though.
