[Xperia SP General] Patrol619:
4.3 works like a charm for me. Everything works. I had 403 error in GP, solved it by removing data of Google Service Framework and Google Play Store and reboot ;)

Wysłane z mojego C5303 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Xperia SP General] clewis:
Wish that worked for me, having to use a different app store to update my apps and download new ones, i want my play store :( lol

OMG just fixed it!!!!

Google Play Fix

- Delete Data From Google Play Framework and Google Play Store

- Reboot, See if you can download apps (Could be Yes or No)

- Go to accounts, google and re-sync

- Close Google Play from task switcher

- Open Google Play and download apps!

If that doesn't work try and repeat yourself again and again it took me a couple of times to do but it worked.

Everything seems smooth now but I've got 2 problems, 1 is when i reboot my phone it prompts me to select a language before proceeding to the home screen, and 2 the volume bar looks so small when turning it up and down like this
[Xperia SP General] poran123:
my navi bar and yours are not same
[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
Not happening here, volume bar is ok and it just asked for the language in the first boot.. What's your ftf source? mega?
[Xperia SP General] Cloud1989:
Well i got the source from a torrent when they first started been released, earlier today, I also tryed the mega but i had problems with that as my phone became really unstable with constant lag and google play errors etc, But the torrent version iv got now is really smooth apart from those bugs like the volume bar and the language selection on every reboot
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Those who have installed 4.3,how is the camera quality.? Does images get blurred?
[Xperia SP General] Depump:
i think we must factory reset

because it cross from 4.1 to 4.3
[Xperia SP General] Cloud1989:
No improvement on the camera for me, apart from, some visual ui enhancements

And also there is no app to sd im afraid for the people who ask ?

[Xperia SP General] pm2lp:
1. Looks the same to me but I need to check with daylight. More on that later.

2. Blazing fast, zero lags, buttery smooth like they say..

3. Definitly better, music doesnt stop while browsing anymore.

4. Doesnt work, selecting auto brightness dims the screen, nothing else.

5. Fixed, finally!

6. Minor tweaks but its lightly noticeable all around, looks nice to me.

About the bugs, I guess bravia engine doesnt work, I dont like it and Ive never used it so its ok to me..

download latest update from sony

hello

been following this for a while, If you want the 4.3 downloaded from sony try this.

1 change your ro.semc.version.cust to these settings. ( these are the australian generic settings)

13 "C5303 Customized AU 1271-7710" "1274-4083 C5303/Mobile Phone/Customized AU (Australia)/White" for 35660405,35757705

"S1_MSM8960_Pro_S1Boot_1270_4027_Live_HWID7E50E1.R11B022.SOFTWARE"

"FSP_Huashan_GLOBAL_LTE_1271_7710_S1_SW_LIVE_7054_PID1_0002.R4A_12_0_A_2_245.SIN_FILE_SET"

"MS_CDF_1271_7698.R6A.SIN_FILE_SET"

"ELABEL_Huashan_elabel_c5303_row.201306241700_1_12_0_A_2_245.SIN_FILE_SET"

"APP_SW_Huashan_GENERIC_1269_3538_S1_SW_LIVE_7054_PID1_0002.12_0_A_2_245.SIN_FILE_SET"

ro semc 1271-7710

version.cust R4A.

2. then repair the phone through pc companion

3. then it will either update to the latest firmware or install the above firmware.

4. if it is the later then it should update after that.

hope you get the idea

Michael:)
[Xperia SP General] sourabhp:
update has hit only in Aus. It will take about a week at least to come to indian market for c5302.
[Xperia SP General] marsx1984:
1 The same. But the camera app is much better with the Timeshift burst and other goodies.

2 It was speedy in 4.1.2 it is at least just as speedy now.

3 Same as before. Real racing 3 crashes to homescreen randomly

4 Doesn't work.

5 Didn't encounter it yet. It was never present in the leaked version either.

6 Some will like it ,some will like it less

[Xperia SP General] ruchirtrehan:
Successfully rooted XSP on Locked Bootloader (y), though is a tricky method and you will need to unlock bootloader at first in order to root and then you can relock the bootloader/restore DRM and have root, if anyone would/is interested to know you can pm me or ask me here on how-to do that and I'll guide you through it, keep in mind UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER is required at first but later you can relock and restore DRM it once rooting is finished, also will be working on how to root .266 on locked bootloader without needing to unlock it at first. ;)
[Xperia SP General] mishuseby:
RuchRha, I think is important to make a tutorial on how to do it.
[Xperia SP General] ruchirtrehan:
Thinking to but at first not many people will unlock bootloader to root and then relock it, so I am working on rooting without needing to unlock so it will be more convenient. Though it's pretty easy to do so if you guys would like to try.

But the update to come ota takes time.i suggest u should check on pc companion only.

well, im checking at the website (http://www.sonymobile.com/br/software/phones/xperia-sp/) becuz my XSP has running CM10.1 at this moment, and i dont wanna get back to stock rom until 4.3 releases...

its 02:02 30 dec here
[Xperia SP General] asish2006:
:what: my phone is rooted with bootloader locked and stock 254 firmware.. If not by ota.. Will I get the update by Pc companion? Or do I need to get rid of the root?

P.s. I received the previous firmware update I.e. 254 one while being rooted.it was just that I lost root after the update.
[Xperia SP General] dipesh1502:
Yes i thnk pc companion should work.

But ota wont work

And you will lose your root.

[Xperia SP General] ruchirtrehan:
Well sure, follow the steps as explained :-

1 ) If DRM keys matter and you're on .254 rooted firmware backup TA partition : Follow these steps

2 ) Unlock your bootloader

3 ) Update to latest .266 firmware from pc companion/sus or ftf

4 ) Fastboot flash this advanced stock kernel by doomlord once updated to 4.3 and follow all the steps in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49263592#post49263592

5 ) Once you've followed all the steps from the post that's it, relock your bootloader/restore DRM keys

6 ) Flash this stock.ftf kernel using flashmode in flashtool : http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ls12zkymsez05t/XPERIA+SP_Kernel_Generic.ftf

7) That's it your bootloader is locked and you're rooted. :good::good:

Will soon be working to root without needing to follow these steps and not needing to unlock bootloader and easily root on locked bootloaders. ;) ;)

Edit : CWM n TWRP Working for locked bootloader, follow this post for download and instructions.

AFAIK unlocking boatloader = deleting the TA, so if one wants to back up the TA, one needs to do it before unlocking BL.

Thanks.
[Xperia SP General] ruchirtrehan:
Guess I've explained a bit wrong, to people who don't care about TA (basically DRM keys) can jut follow and to people who need TA can keep a backup of it to restore later and once step 4 is completed TA can be restored.

Download this ftf from here : https://mega.co.nz/#!hg9HiLKQ!BgchHd...HmEXl2J_gIfWbE, flash it in flashtool if you don't know how-to you can google it or else wait for it to be released in India and install it using PC Companion or Sony Update Service.

Sony will say: didn't you see the blue triangle in the background? It indicates the uncertainty and delay of the version. 4.3 was fairly delayed already, and the bar is much thicker as it reaches 4.4.
