How long till Indian version? Oh man i cant wait! hopefully this will be a good update

Edit: How big is the update? previously in another thread it was posted that it was only 5.4 mb... i hope its much bigger XD
[Xperia SP General] JetArmstrong:
Rollout seems to be limited to carrier variants of Orange, and T-Mobile UK. Generics must wait till tommorow :(

It is a great update, camera starts much faster, autofocus might be better, smooth!!

It really is more smooth than .201. Charging seems to be faster, too.

It is a really nice update. I don't need KK, this update is a reason for me to buy Sony devices again - after some time for bugfixing xD

[Xperia SP General] Cool Breaker:
Guys sorry to ask this question. But which one is better to update with FOTA or Pc Companion? :confused:
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
FOTA will not remove user apps n data. So it wont be as fresh as the PCC install. You might feel faster phone will PCC but it will become same eventually when all apps are back.
[Xperia SP General] Daniel D.:
PCC update didn't delete my apps. It would delete the apps if you repair your phone.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Sony Y U NOT UPDATING IN HOLLAND? :P
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
Can I root using THIS method, and reflashing with the .205 kernel only, without losing data and apps etc?

​

if so, where do I get the .205 kernel for a UK t-Mobile phone? Would I be able to download it using the PC Companion and then simply reflash using Flashtool?
[Xperia SP General] Daniel D.:
I updated with PC Companion from .201 and didn't loose any data.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
No because the phone will not boot up when you use the old 4.1.2 kernel.

And to root the device the phone should be powerd on and connected to pc :)
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
Yeh, but doing it that way will break root. I'm trying to achieve an update while keeping data and root.
[Xperia SP General] kelumsd:
You can wait and update it by OTA.
[Xperia SP General] Daniel D.:
Ah, ok. Yes, that's the only disadvantage.
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
The OTA is showing in my phones Update Centre, and is only 5.4mb.. Does that method definitely retain root?

Edit.. Figured I'd give it a try.. "Could not install new software version. Please try again". Which I have, several times. Could it be because I have CWM/TWRP on the phone? If so, how do I bypass it to allow the update. If not, what could it be?
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
you can't install it because you've unlock bootloader, so for my method, download ftf and flash it
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
My bootloader isn't unlocked though?
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
does you've checked your network connection?
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
Yes, both wifi and data are working fine.
[Xperia SP General] kelumsd:
Uninstall CWM and then try.
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
How do you uninstall CWM/TWRP? Don't they replace the recovery?
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Reflash a 201 build with flashtool plug it into pc and update ;)
[Xperia SP General] Levered:
yup that's right, flash stock firmware again and try updates
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
Won't that lose both root and data though?
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Yes but this fixes most issues also you can remove the wipe data option in flashtool ;) See my tutorial found below!
