Yo lo actualicé, pero tuve bugs, (por ejemplo no funciona el sonido, incluso si uso la aplicación walkman u otras). Por eso, hice el downgrade al firmware USA 10.4.B.O.569. ¿Tienes el mismo problema con la actualización? También soy de Chile

In English: I Update it, but i had some bugs (i.e. sound don't work, even if I use walkman or other app). So, I downgrade to USA firmware 10.4.B.0.569. ¿Do you have the same bug?

After spending like 8hrs of downloading it, PC companion says because of modified sogftware you can't have it! any hint's or thread on how to relock the bootloader?

I heard that after unlocking the BL you'd loose bravia engine, then how is it that its still working on my phone? I even flashed a custom rom once too.
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
did u do a TA backup?
[Sony Xperia ZR] shardul_seth:

weird change I noticed after update is that when you're on panes other than your home, pressing home would no longer take you to the home pane. Also pressing home when in appdrawer would take you back to the last pane you were on when pressed menu (not sure if that was that way or not). Navigating appdrawer has gotten smoother (mine had gotten a bit laggy to keen eyes) and the transition effect when going back to panes from appdrawer is just exclusive to tapping on back button not home. drab!
[Sony Xperia ZR] Aravinth_sm:
Does the rollout started in india?

mine is c5502, still on .569, when ever i check its saying "you already have the latest version", but on sony support page its showing .101:confused::confused:

"Software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country. Therefore, we cannot give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device."

[Sony Xperia ZR] soorajskn:
Its very unfortunate.. They are releasing OTA Update for other countries and still thr is no update via PCC for india.. :mad: :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZR] silvscorp:
For this update, if flash the ftf using flashtool, will it retain root (uncheck certain options?) or need to re-root again? I do have unlocked BL
[Sony Xperia ZR] smooth_gl:
No. You will loose root.

To root you have to flash a kernel with recovery, from recovery flash super SU zip then using flashtool flash stock kernel. Details here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45371740&postcount=18
[Sony Xperia ZR] silvscorp:
Thanks, just want to be sure.

For restore to stock kernel, is it ok just to restore the one from the full 569 rom? I assume this new updates contains no changes to the kernel?
[Sony Xperia ZR] smooth_gl:
I don't know if there's a change in kernel. Just to be sure use the same ftf with flashtool, uncheck wipe etc and check only kernel (use the link I gave you there it's explained what you need to do to flash only the kernel)
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I compared the kernel.sin for both 101 and 569 and they're of different size so I think the kernel is different.

BTW, anyone knows if it's possible to unlock bootloader without wiping data?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lasantha:
i use flash tool it nevewr wipes and retains code from sony so unloking again is eazy after relock
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Oh! I'm not aware flashtool can unlock bootloader too. Got to give it a try! Thanks! :laugh:
[Sony Xperia ZR] XGr7078:

Mine is 0.9.14. It seems to me the whole unlock process is the same using flashtool than the official ways only except that flashtool has a GUI.
[Sony Xperia ZR] smartyyadav:
but my bluetooth is not working since 4.2 update,

how did your blutooth start working again?
[Sony Xperia ZR] akash4357:
My bluetooth has never stopped working. I recommend you do a fresh flash, that should solve your bluetooth issues.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Upgraded to .101 firmware 2 days ago. And today I found very bad battery drain due to "suspend_backoff" wakelock. Still trying to figure out the cause. Seems to be related to BT or Chrome.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lasantha:
Has anyone got Wi-Fi disconnect every few minutes when blue tooth head set conected .then even if I turn off bt Wi-Fi problems continued .unable to chat etc. While im typing this it got disconnected 2times Ahhh....
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Further to my battery drain issue. Now I can confirm it's related to BT and not Chrome. Whenever I connect my phone with my BT headset, I'll see suspend_backoff wakelock, even after BT is turned off. When this wakelock appears, it can only be removed by rebooting the phone. Not even a soft reboot can fix it. I must reboot the phone totally.

So if you have to use BT with your phone very often, think twice before upgrading.
[Sony Xperia ZR] vasantv:
Thanks itandy for ur update.. I use bt headset all the time.. I m fine with rooted 4.2.2 version.. No need of these bugdates :|
[Sony Xperia ZR] LaudaDev:
Sony really seems to be failing with the new updates...Considering all the reviews I've read so far, I think I'll hold back with updating.
[Sony Xperia ZR] haki.gr:
I bought a C5502, Asia (Generic Taiwan) version, a few days ago. It received 2 OTA updates the minute I took it out of the box, version 101 being the second. After it finished updating I made a hard reset and then I set it up from scratch. Coming from a Nexus 5 I can reassure you that it functions superbly! No battery drain, no BT problems, extremely smooth, excellent camera...no fault whatsoever. Look elsewhere for alleged "problems"...Sony is not to blame! ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] LaudaDev:
I'm glad that you don't have problems with it, well not yet. Considering the fact that you bought it "a few days ago", I'd say give it a bit more time and test it fully.

I've been using my ZR on 4.1 (for 10 days), updated to 4.2.2 (been on it for 20 days) and now I'm using 4.3 (2 months already). I can assure you that there are some software glitches. Having the opportunity to test this device on all 3 software versions I can confirm that the last 4.3 update caused some issues with battery duration and other misc stuff. If you go thru Sony's support forum for Z/ZR/Z1 devices you can see the amount of "not so happy" people regarding the last software update.

In general bad software patches are downgrading the device itself...and just to make sure I'm not *****ing or anything, I'm more then happy with my device and I really think Sony is a good company and it can do even better to achieve having a flawless phones.

Of course you're happy with ZR now, given the fact that Nexus 5 has to have a bigger battery drain due to having stronger processing power, bigger resolution and better gfx while having the same battery capacity. :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] haki.gr:
When I made the comparison with the Nexus 5, the battery duration is the last thing I had in mind. It's the "perfection" of a Nexus with KitKat that I was comparing with the ZR. Generally speaking, going from a Nexus 5 to a ZR is downgrading to a "lesser" device no matter how one sees it. Anyway, I don't see any obvious glitches with 4.3 in the ZR and, furthermore, I don't see how they (the glitches) will build-up as time goes by! :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZR] soorajskn:
Yes. I have updated from .569 and iwas able to retain Root.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lasantha:
im really glad ur 4n works fine.mine got wifi problems even after replacement handset..:(
[Sony Xperia ZR] LaudaDev:
Every major software update brings a lot of unwanted bugs and those bugs depend on how the software was tested before the release. However, patches are there to iron out those issues and sometimes even patches can cause problems instead of fixing it, which in my humble opinion is happening right now with latest updates from Sony. So yeah, we have to be patient and I'm sure Sony will iron them all out eventually.

I'm just hoping they take time and do proper tests before releasing 4.4, I'd rather wait for 6 more months and have that beauty almost bug-free. :D

P.S Welcome to the Xperia ZR family! :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] templar1996:
i had the same problem..can u help me?i tried to convert the files but nothing work...am doing something wrong??
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Did you do anything to retain your root or you just updated it OTA? (Assuming you came from 4.3(.569) rooted), I have the update a few weeks back but I'm afraid to update due to possibility of loosing root.
[Sony Xperia ZR] soorajskn:
I came from 4.3 .569 Rooted. I just updated via OTA. Luckily i didnt loose the Root.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Great. I just tried mine before your reply but The update refuses to install (Phone reboots, Android Upgrade Screen shows, loads a little, reboots, after a minute or so, "Could Not install latest firmware"). I guess I have to do it the long way :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] wihushae:
I also tried to apply the Ota update (already rooted), but it didn't work. :-/

Why does it work in some cases and in some not?? How to force the update?? (and keep root)

Just updated OTA and root are still there :)

I didn't do anything to protect root.

I had SuperSU v1.93 on the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZR] wihushae:
Very strange... I've also v1.93! Did you activate the survival mode in supersu? (mine is active)
[Sony Xperia ZR] Mario.D:
Nope i just took the update.

[Sony Xperia ZR] wihushae:
Did u delete the and/or deactivate any system apps?

-I did so, perhaps that's the reason why the update fails??
[Sony Xperia ZR] Mario.D:
No all system apps are stock and untouched.

I use greenify on some user apps though.

Only thing i now i did a few days before upgrading was cleaning cache and dalvik, i was low on storage.

Skickat från min C5503 via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZR] wihushae:
Now the update worked! The deleted Japanese and Chinese and hangouts apks were the problem. -I've restored them and everything worked fine!! :D

Another question: how did u manage to wipe dalvik & cache?

Where is this (hidden) option?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Mario.D:
You can do it in custom recovery cwm or twrp.

Also some apps can do i for you .

[Sony Xperia ZR] mtabzr:
You can't flash new Rom or have problem with transition effects?
[Sony Xperia ZR] silvscorp:
Do you guys all have custom recovery installed?

I have the DualRecovery installed and after download the OTA and reboots, it will boot into recovery. If I choose reboot again from the menu it will go back to the system and skip the update. How did you guys bypass this? Temp removed recovery?

Thanks!

Some users had issue's then they had done that.

They needed to restore the app to be able to upgrade

[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
I don't remember exactly if i removed apps from system ,but I've added some apps to system/apps like Social Live..etc

So is there any way to update without flashing/factory reset the device again ?!
[Sony Xperia ZR] abdozoon:
I have the same problem on my c5502.

I have followed the guidelines of Sijav's thread here, flashed 569 rom, and got a notification for 101 OTA, but it fails to install with the same error 'Could not install'. I haven't removed any app, just greenified some apps.

I hope to be able to update my phone to 101 without having to reset/wipe my phone.
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Hmm.. So you think it worth to try Sijav's Method and download the pre-rooted .101 TFT ?!

what is the differences from the previous one ,is it really worth to wipe all data and download 800+ MB TFT file again ?!
[Sony Xperia ZR] abdozoon:
I haven't actually tried to flash el .101 TFT of the C5503 on my C5502 because some were saying they had network problems when they flashed it on their C5502. So I've decided to flash the .569 and wait for the .101 OTA update, but it has unfortunately failed to install on my C5502.

Therefore, I will be searching for a way for flashing it without the need for wiping my phone. Otherwise, I will be waiting for mirrors for ralf_wald's files, and would wipe the phone and install the rom.
[Sony Xperia ZR] CarlitosMendezR:
I flashed C5503 on my C5502, with no problems or bugs, had for few day with no bugs or reception problems, but if u picky as I am, as soon as the C5502 ftf file was ready for download I did the whole process again, hope I helped
[Sony Xperia ZR] abdozoon:
Yes, I am a picky person as you. ralf_waldo's links seem to be up again after a period of limited bandwidth on his Box account. I should be doing the whole process again tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Revontheus:
I'm was supposed to buy ZR but then Z1 Compact seems better
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Z1 Compact is better in specs than the ZR ,but i personally prefer the 4.55" display rather than the 4.3" ,and also it's design is so much better for me

and the battery either , ZR battery life is much greater than Z1 Compact
[Sony Xperia ZR] Revontheus:
Yes but the Z1 compact is alot and i quote alot more powerful than the ZR

that S4 pro is nothing compared to snapdragon 800 2.2quad and it can record 4K vids and slo-mo vids :)
