Hi, downloading now, did you always get the latest updates very fast or did it last longer? I have the Commercial&Journalists already installed, but I found a thread saying that I won't get further updates. So did you get them very fast? ;) Thanks
[Xperia Z General] davros93:
With this version i've got updates instead with commercial and journalist no update
[Xperia Z General] deliler:
is the Commercial&Journalists version or offical SUS update version?

If I flash this firmware, I will lose my warranty? And does it have English as language?

Sorry if is a stupid question.

Edit: I have 1270-6704-R5B as code.
[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
Yeah but I tough we don't must write in an other language.. Only English! :)

[MENTION=5626906]DragosBad[/MENTION] Yes. Every Firmware has the feature that you can choose your language :)
[Xperia Z General] Artyomska:
And regarding the warranty, I will lose it if i flash this firmware on a generic Belgium version?
[Xperia Z General] T0b3:
thank you very much! just flashed it. GUI is so much smoother now. everything looks way nicer and the camera seems to have improved at least a bit. I take all my pictures using cameraZOOM though.

OP, since you have the version on your device for a while longer than me, can you tell how good or bad the battery life has become?
[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
Only if you unlock bootloader you loose warranty. But this is original firmware by SONY and that means you don't have to unlock bootloader and can just flash it.

I had once 5.5 hours screen on time with the hole day using tapatalk, whatsapp, chrome, walkman(2 or 4 hours). But I deleted much bloatware. Before deleting I had only 3-4 hours screen on time with this usage.

I am on the same boat. Previous method by flashing old kernel doesn't work any more.

is it the only method to root the new firmware???
[Xperia Z General] GROGG88:
For locked bootloader the only way to root 4.3 is to flash a rooted stock rom from recovery. This means you must be running a rooted 4.2.2 rom with recovery installed. Then you can use this:

[Xperia Z General] zabi1994:
No, its optional.. If you tick wipe data then you'll lose your apps and will need to reinstall them after boot.. Better make a backup of your apps first before wipe and flsahing..
[Xperia Z General] whitefang3456:
Im sorry that i need to clarify that flashing official firmware WILL NOT void warranty. This is SONY, not SAMMY. Rooting or flashing simply will not void warranty, as they dont use binary counter. However, if you unlocked bootloader, yes that will void warranty 1000% as email of key sent by Sony. Goodluck

Whitefang

U may untick "data" wipe before flashing. But if u are from lower platform like 4.2.2 i recommend backup everything for preventing unwanted scenarios happen.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you try doing a factory reset or wiping cache in recovery mode?
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Hello,

(My friend helped me with all this)

we were trying to root my phone and put cyanogenmod on it,

that worked and we saw we forgot to put google play on it,

we tried and my was stuck in bootloop, and after trying different things,

I got a black screen with green, red and blue dotted lines.

I can't get into download or any of the other modes either

Could someone please help me with this :(

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] sinndissension:
Depending on what phone your using can you get into recovery mode? If I knew what device your using, I could tell you how. You have to flash a "gapps" .zip to use the google play app. If you can't get into recovery mode at all, you have to reflash a stock ROM through your computer, like you did with cyanogenmod.

What were the "different things" you did, that caused it to brick and give you the dotted lines?
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Sorry to not tell you what phone i had,

Its a samsung Xcover 2.

My friend gave me the list of things we did:

1. Flashed a root file to get root access | All fine

2. Checked root access | All worked

3. Flashed CWM recovery | All fine

4. In CWM, we flashed Cyanogenmod | Not fine

5. After, we factory resetted | All worked (CM)

6. We flashed gapps | All fine

7. CWM was stuck in a bootloop, eventually the screen turned to green dots

8. Phone won't go into any mode, with a black screen.
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Phone won't respond either to any button pressing combos,

won't show up in list of attached devices and neither on adb with the "adb devices" command.

Now phone boots every so often with the coloured dotted lines.
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Someone?

I really just want to use my phone, it doens't matter for me anymore if it's rooted or not.
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Please, i just want to use my phone...
[General Questions and Answers] sinndissension:
I had something similar happen with my nexus 4, but it wouldn't boot up in any way, not even the colored lines. If your computer stops recognizong the device, its usually a hard brick, and it's not fixable. But some people have luck, so did you do the factory reset before, or after flashing cyanogenmod?
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
After CM
[General Questions and Answers] sinndissension:
That could be your problem, your supposed to wipe BEFORE you flash any new ROMs, or gapps packages. Flashing the root package, CM, and gapps package, THEN wiping, may have caused a "hard brick". Someone with more experience with this would be able to to tell you for sure, but if it's a true hard brick, your only option is JTAG, or getting a new phone. Unless you can boot into recovery, or use adb with your computer, there isn't really a fix for it.
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:
Can you help me find a more experienced person?
[General Questions and Answers] sinndissension:
Look up the phone you have, and post this question in the help and troubleshooting section underneath the specific phone your using, and you'll probably get better answers. Sorry I couldnt be more help. /:
[General Questions and Answers] GyroW:

What is it going to bring?

hopefully camera improvements, this (at least for me) is the main area that needs further improvements. we also need white balance and the ability to move apps to the SD.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/12/2...4-certified-for-xperia-z1-and-xperia-z-ultra/
[Xperia Z1 General] Vengeance66:
I was amazed too! I guess it will be bug fixes, which we need.

Camera improvements too! I mean, you can take great photos with Manual, but you'll need time to set it up.

:good:
[Xperia Z1 General] El.Guaje:
White Balance definitely will be in next update.

May be we'll have better RAM management, fix some issues of previous firmware.

We have to wait til beginning of Jan to get this update.

Btw, someone in XDA have posted the way Sony named for Xperia's firmware. I don't remember, can someone re-post it please.
[Xperia Z1 General] zionnomonus:
Wow Sony is really not slacking with their updates now!

How long did it take from when .290 got certified to it got released again?

I think we will see this update out early January
[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
Well this might be the update that was mentioned by a Sony representative from a Sony forum that will be rolled out of the first few days of January next year and if this is it then it will include the White Balance setting. And that'd be the answer to our prayers who's suffering the yellow hue. Yay!:fingers-crossed::D
[Xperia Z1 General] ckai:
4.4? I'm still waiting on the 290 update :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] El.Guaje:
7 days
[Xperia Z1 General] cyrom:
hopefully this improves z1's camera cuz im about to buy qx10 and 100 and make my baby a beast!
[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
7 days, the same goes for the Xperia Z firmware (certified then released after 7 days) so we might see this early January as everyone said

this isn't 4.4, neither it is just a minor bug fixes. I am not expecting a big list of additional features but we might see quite good number of bug fixes and few additional features (white balance) and some improvements because the build number is quite different from what we have. just like .257 update.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
One thread was already closed few days ago when someone show up with a new Firmware update which should fix all the problems with the Z1. I really hope this one will be confirmed soon as I waiting for that. The number 1 is the most important thing that mean huge improvements and changes between 14.2.X.0.XXX and 14.2.X.1.XXX.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gitaroo:
actually, this can be a decent update, the one that just came out was maybe tested and created as a core android 4.3 with same features and functionality across for Z1, Zu and Z phones. This upcoming update is probably ZU and Z1 both newer and S800 specific update with extra features. Could be why we still havent gotten an offical change log because they are still rolling out 4.3 for Z phones and probably update the change log together with this firmware for Z1. Who knows.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
yes it was me bro who posted that info about 14.2.A.1.XXX here and http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/12/20/xperia-z1-z-ultra-14-2-1-xxx-firmware-bug-fixing-update-coming-soon/see it is now certified :) Will post the changelog of this update soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Or it won't be out at all...

Not all certified firmwares goes out and not every firmware is meant to be for each region.

I hope I'm wrong but I think it's just a test release.

It's a way to early to fix firmware which was released few days ago and it's not on all (or on majority) devices

My opinion is that Sony become great company.

They finally realized that you can't have best smartphone without best software.

I found 4.3 very, very good piece of software and I'm sure 4.4 or even upgraded 4.3 will be awesome...

I'm sure will first have one or two 4.3 upgrades and then in the end of the first quarter we'll get 4.4...

It is bugfixes that i actually talked about in another thread....

Sony had some thoughts about not release the 290 and wait on those fixes but in the end they must have decied to release the 290 anyway, proberbly to meet their own claim about 4.3 in december...

There is nothing really new in the new version, but bugfixes...
