Still no update on my end. Anyone actually get the update today?
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
Nope

sent from my Xperia Z3v
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
I have the tablet, too, so l'll be checking with that as well.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
It may be rolled out depending on regions. But I hope you are all aware there's a slight change now that there are two different updates.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Please explain...
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/sony-xperia-z3v-update/

SU2A: 23.0.E.1.92

SU2B: 23.4.B.0.319

There is a high likely chance that they release two different updates as a measure of selecting one as a control group and seeing what bugs and kinks Verizon could pick out from.
[Xperia Z3v General] TheBeeze:
Still nothing here. Hopefully this isn't another let down. Long time coming....
[Xperia Z3v General] aia832003:
OTA with previous Lollipop Rom

Will you be able to receive the OTA if you're already running the unofficial Lollipop 5.02 builds?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
It's a great question. Best reliable way to look anyhow is through Xperifirm...
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Anyone got the queue yet?

Texas is receiving it.
[Xperia Z3v General] Finire:
The first of two updates is available, downloading now.
[Xperia Z3v General] jpraven:
Downloading update now. Located in NY city.
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
Downloaded, located in Chicago, IL. To ensure things go smoothly, I freed up photo/video space so that the phone was half empty. Starting install now, will provide update later.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Yeah the two update numbers we see are the first prepare update then the actual update, make sure all your apps are compatible with lollipop or you will have a mess, little unexplained glitches might occur.
[Xperia Z3v General] LeifEricson:
NYC, I see someone else from here has gotten the update, but as of yet mine is not showing any available updates. This is very exciting though, can't wait for a pre-rooted version!
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
Turns out the update is split into two parts. First part completed, updated 141 apps, then said "congrats, update successful" then "second part will begin shortly" (I'm paraphrasing). Still waiting. Checked system info, still running 4.4.4 and no update to the UI. I'm guessing they needed to update the portion that updates ;)
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
No update in St. Louis yet ?

sent from my Xperia Z3v
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
Phoenix, AZ - First update installed = 4.4.4 still. Second update downloading.
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
Anyone gotten it on the 5.0.2 prerelease??

[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
My update downloaded then failed to install now I can't get it to try again
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
On 5.0.2 or 4.4.4?

sent from my Xperia Z3v
[Xperia Z3v General] hexto:
I got my update :)

Software Version:

SU2A: 23.0.E.1.92

SU2B: 23.4.B.0.319
[Xperia Z3v General] dachao:
Did you have 5.0.2 on your phone or 4.4.4 before you tried to update?
[Xperia Z3v General] scooby7557:
I received both updates but the second one failed since I forgot to put the stock recovery back on. Anyone know how to get the stock recovery and load it?
[Xperia Z3v General] hexto:
The update worked but I'm still in 4.4.4 and I got this message. Apparently the update is in two parts.
[Xperia Z3v General] hexto:
Couldn't attach screenshot to my last post for some reason
[Xperia Z3v General] hexto:
Now I'm downloading Lollipop. I'm in Connecticut BTW
[Xperia Z3v General] blikksem:
Update complete - testing now.

Android 5.1.1.

S/W version is 23.4.B.0.319

Kernel 3.4.0 - built Jan 12th 22:15 2016

PS: been lurking here a long time following these threads.

When I switched back to the Z3v yesterday, 2FA sign-in for Play store was bust as 4.4.4 didn't support 2FA.

Pleased to say that is resolved.

I may go back to the G4 although I only left because of security issues with 4.4.4.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Anyone with unltd data want to try foxfi on 5.1.1 after parts 1 and 2 are installed?
[Xperia Z3v General] LeifEricson:
Question, how does XperiFirm work, i.e. how long does it usually take after a new update for the firmware to show up on it? I can't OTA because I'm on the pre-rooted 5.0.2 build with custom recovery.
[Xperia Z3v General] srsaloom:
Not entirely sure how long it takes to populate. The .485 & .509 test builds seemed to be on there almost immediately after the time we learned of them from the screenshots on the Vietnamese(?) forum.
[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
4.4.4

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

4.4.4
[Xperia Z3v General] dachao:
I just flashed 4.4.4 back on my phone and the update is available. Installing now. I think people with 5.0.2 will not be able to download the update.
[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
Update downloaded but failed the install. Now when I press the update thing through settings it says so update available
[Xperia Z3v General] Virum:
I dont see the option for wifi calling in the advanced calling menu. Does this mean we dont have the wifi calling outside of video calls?
[Xperia Z3v General] JimAndroid:
I thought I would never see the day! Glad I was patient and didn't pull the trigger, since I didn't really care for obtaining root and was satisfied with the stock experience.
[Xperia Z3v General] tbtregenza:
According to Verizon website, only GS6 and GS6 Edge have wifi calling right now. I would like but I do not have 10 posts so am not able to.

According to our changelog,

"HD Voice provides high quality call audio, video calling and simultaneous use of voice and data"

I see no mention of wifi calling.
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
Chicago here again. Second update finished, new UI installed, looks very slick. Phone reports 5.1.1. All existing icon and widget layouts preserved. So far phone appears to operate well, but I'll come back and give an update to anything wonky if I encounter it.
[Xperia Z3v General] hexto:
Success!
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
Well, HD Voice is working and sounds great, but I can't send any texts. Attempting to do so results in "Could not send". Considering that texting is one of the primary things I do with this phone, that's not acceptable. Anyone having trouble texting on 5.1.1?
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Wi-Fi Calling (AC 2.0) is still in Beta tryout.

Wife's phone updated no problem, nice change, haven't tried text messages yet, but make sure you have the default text message app set to the correct app, just a thought.
[Xperia Z3v General] johnnycr:
I'm also having trouble sending texts. I get the same "could not send" error.

What app do you use for texting? I'm using Messenger from Google.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
So no one currently on 5.0.2 revceived the update.. So we have to flash back to 4.4.4 to get it? Is it the same process of flashing to 5.0 to downgrade? Where can I get the 4.4.4 ftf. I'm non rooted
[Xperia Z3v General] s0m3f00l:
Anyone upgrade yet with root? Did you lose root?
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
I have always used the default/system messaging app.
[Xperia Z3v General] MattyInkwell:
Yes, you have to flash the old firmware to get the update. Just did it and downloading the update now! http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/xperia-z3v_d6708_23-0-e-1-44_us_verizon.215/
[Xperia Z3v General] fishercs:
do they even sell this phone anymore?? I had just about given up.. looking forward to getting something new in the fall. I will say, with all of the terrible release support and lack of root/hacks, the battery life is still killer.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
It is more then likely because you are on 5.0.2. Will need to downgrade to 4.4.4 clearionr.

Or patiently wait and see if they make a flashable soon.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Is that rooted kitkat? That would be the other issue. You need to use flashtool and get back on 100% stock retail. Then you should be able to accept the OTA and complete installation.

Derp I see you are rooted. Just flash stock.
[Xperia Z3v General] racer0018:
I'm going to wait into a rooted copy of it comes out and then I will put it on my phone. I hope someone comes around and makes an update with the root already there for people that has the phone rooted already. Thanks all.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Also has anyone tried to root it on 5.1.1 using any of the common root programs. Thanks all.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
What's better about this than having the prerooted 5.0.2 leak from months ago?

-Love seeing this board light up, though!
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I'm torn it really depends on if 5.1.1 can even be rooted. I only use ad away. I could certainly get by without root.
[Xperia Z3v General] TheBeeze:
From what I gather, Google messenger app does not work now. The Verizon Message + app works fine though. They really changed the UI on that app too and added some nice features to it from the original version that came on the phone and I disabled after. Will have to see if a patch comes out for Google messenger but I doubt it. Verizon's little write-up about this update really pushed their messaging app. We'll see I guess.

I am curious to try out some camera apps that allow manual settings to see if they work now since I still believe this is one of, if not, THEEE best cameras in a phone today.
[Xperia Z3v General] johnnycr:
I just tried the Message+ app and it worked for me as well. I'm currently on live chat with Verizon to see why other apps don't work. Thanks for the fix!
[Xperia Z3v General] LeifEricson:
Please report back if those camera apps work or not, I'm sick and tired of the muddled pictures being created from such an obviously powerful camera...
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
I got the first update but it's saying it's been updated to latest software after that no second update and still on 4.4.4
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
My messaging app is also not functioning. The stock Xperia one doesn't work either.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Same here. That's what I'm looking forward most to, is improved camera functions.
[Xperia Z3v General] Green Like Kermit:
i'm in michigan, updated to 5.1.1 flawlessly, as far as i've seen, everything is working. updated from 100% stock 4.4.4

better late than never.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
Did anyone have to wait a while between updates? Anyone not get the update yet?
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Im trying to download the. 376 ftf as we speak. Takes forever. It was hard to find any ftf sadly.

I downloaded from xperifirm but flash tool wouldn't decrypt the files
[Xperia Z3v General] boosey:
Updated from unrooted 4.4.4 and also had problems with messenger. I did a factory reset and everything works flawlessly now. I just spent the last half hour disabling bloatware.
[Xperia Z3v General] glasslung:
Why did they give us a lollipop update instead of marshmallow?
[Xperia Z3v General] MobyGamer:
People on other forums are reporting that a factory reset clears up most of the bugs, including not being able to text.

Forgot to report that the 5.1.1 they pushed out is not vulnerable to any Stagefright advisory, which is nice (verified with a few stagefright checking apps).
[Xperia Z3v General] brokenfly:
got it today,dfw area
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Because there are no official plans for Marshmallow for the Z3v.
[Xperia Z3v General] :
I have seen several posts on reddit saying that a factory reset seems to correct the SMS issue.
[Xperia Z3v General] TheBeeze:
Camera FV-5 States this phone does not support RAW photos. However, I have now been able to manually manipulate shutter speed under low light. So that gets interesting. Not sure if I'm ready for a factory reset right now. I'm actually kinda digging the Message + App in all honesty now.

More to come.
[Xperia Z3v General] glasslung:
Z3 does though right? I imagine Z3 is similar enough to Z3v to make a Z3v version not that much more work.
[Xperia Z3v General] :
I've seen a few posts here that claim the Z3 is very dissimilar to the Z3v and code cannot be ported to the Z3v.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
If that was the case, then you should have seen activities being tripled than what it currently is since its release. Lollipop would have officially came out earlier last year. Marshmallow would be planned for by the end of last year. We could have had an unlocked bootloader much much sooner and could have seen plenty of custom ROMs and kernels made.

You get the point now, right? Even then, our phones aren't compatible with most of the mods over at the Cross Sony Devices board because of some integral differences specifically designed for Verizon.
[Xperia Z3v General] lotfi2016:
I'm from Algeria and have z3v with 5.0.2 lollipop 509

When I tray to get OTA update I have an error message that I should to connect to the verizonwireless

Why why !?????:@
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
salamoalikom

i think you need to downgrade to 4.4.4 using flashtool

Or patiently wait and see if they make a flashable ftf
[Xperia Z3v General] lotfi2016:
Salam,

Do you try this?
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
reverting back to 444 i did it alot of time but u will need an old version of flashtool;

if u want to try the ota update...... just wait until they make a flashable firmware 5,1,1
[Xperia Z3v General] lotfi2016:
Ok thanks
[Xperia Z3v General] rondako:
Bootloop anyone?

Was running pure stock 4.4.4. No root, everything factory stock. During the first upgrade the phone got VERY hot and would go into a bootloop right after the vzn screen. I pushed power and volume down, powered off, and let it sit overnight to cool down. This morning, I tried again, and everything downloaded - 1st and 2nd updates all in. Phone remained cool this time. 1st install, no probs. However, after the second update installation I am now stuck in a bootloop at the initial black Sony screen.

Anyone know how to fix without a factory reset?

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Yes, and...... occasionally it will go past the "sony" screen to the black "android" screen then loop back to the sony screen over and over.
[Xperia Z3v General] DJ Sandman:
Following both updates, I noticed the Brightness setting isn't adjusting. Luckily, it is bright enough but it's not working.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Do you mean automatic brightness or adjusting the slider? The slider works for me with both adaptive on and off. Have you factory reset since the update. I have and haven't found an issue. It was pain reloading my apps on hotel WiFi but it finally finished updating.
[Xperia Z3v General] Green Like Kermit:
I didn't reset and it works fine, manual and automatic. make sure everything is backed up and synced before you reset.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Anyone?
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
I use PDANET/Fox-FI and tested it on 5.1.1 non-rooted. No issue.
[Xperia Z3v General] glasslung:
Any downside to upgrading to 5.1.1? Will it prevent the bootloader unlock project or root?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
No, but root is achievable.

I'm just awaiting the FTF to have it ready for everyone since I'm very sure it's a more easier step than to downgrade to 4.4.4 and then going up from there again.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
is the built in eq and other sound altering tick boxes not working for anyone else?

I know this belongs in z3v problems but this thread is about the update and its very active.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Are you on 5.1.1 and experiencing this problem? I'm still on 5.0.2 and it works really fine for me.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
yes, im on 5.1.1. Not even a play store eq can alter the sound so now everything just sounds flat and not in a good way.

I should have left well enough alone.
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
Did you try a factory reset? That seems to fix most of the issues with this build. I had the messed up messaging and a non functional brightness slider and it fixed both issues.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
I thought about it. I just didn't/dont know what to back up to save me time from a refresh like that.
[Xperia Z3v General] Atomix96:
Use MyBackupPro. You can back up all your apps, SMS, MMS, call logs, pictures, videos, everything to your micro SD. Plus its free
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Ok, I'll check it out.
[Xperia Z3v General] pknguyen89:
Hi,

I'd like to ask if anyone have or could provide the TFT file for 5.1.1 ?

Because right now, I'm using another SIM card, not Verizon.

I cannot check OTA update because it's required to connect to Verizon LTE.

Thank you!
[Xperia Z3v General] lotfi2016:
Hi,

Any FTF file for 5.1.1 to flash it with flashtool ????

I'm staying in 5.0.2 and no OTA update very sad ?

Quickly GigaSPX PLEASE
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Please read the thread!

YOU MUST BE ON *STOCK* 4.4.4 TO ACCEPT THE OTA!!!

No root, no exceptions. The only other possibility is waiting for a prerooted flashable that will only work on the custom recovery that was needed for the original prerooted lollipop flashable for 5.0.2

This isnt even that long of thread read read and read some more.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
I'd "like" to report that audio eq of any sort is still broken after a factory reset.

this resulted in sub par sleep including not backing up everything like i should have with a recommended app.
[Xperia Z3v General] DJJeffT:
No FM on 5.1.1??

Can anyone else confirm no FM radio on 5.1.1?

It worked well with 4.4 with Spirit and the app Giga gave us a link to months ago...now nothing. I get RDS, but no audio.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
to accept the update yes but you can download it and itstall it later that takes some work moving files around. but you can get root go to the su click ota survival (paid version)

You will be rooted on 5.1.1.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I was looking in the build prop there are no parameters for clear audio so I would be surprised if that worked
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
When I meant audio eq of any sort i don't just mean the built in stuff I mean even eq's from the play store.

I never used clear audio tick box because it just sounded like it would bypass the built in sony eq that I tuned to my liking. Audio customization is one of the main reasons I got this phone. Before stagefright I could care less about an update to 5.1.1. I don't even expect a patch for the audio settings to work again because of how long it took to get 5.1.1. This issue looks to be deeper than that but what do I know.
[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
OK, figured it out, had to flash stock 4.4.4 then do the update, then do a factory reset, everything is working now.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Got a SIM for my 2nd z3V and loaded & installed the updates from 4.4.4.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people are expecting some kind of awesome new unexpected goodness from this update that exceeds expectations from having installed the rooted leaked version previously available here.

I'll be flashing back, rooting, and installing a recovery zip from my other z3V (in effect, making a cloned system). The stock lollipop does nothing new for me.

I must have been drinking when I posted this. I used a form of the word "expect" 3 times in one sentence. LOL!
[Xperia Z3v General] :
Yeah, I'm content to stay on 5.0.2 for a while. My phone is stable and working well.
[Xperia Z3v General] immtu:
does z3v will work in india after update.

Hi,

I am from India, using z3v on Indian carrier, just want to now will my phone support after this update. Please let me suggest.

You both are going to have to wait until Xperifirm database is updated to carry it. Strange it's taking this long.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Good videos; Each is of the upgrades, part one & two respectively, and both capture a bit of the frustration of a fairly calm user.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Maybe they are probably trying to splice the two updates together (?).
[Xperia Z3v General] :
Odd that it would be a two part update. Does anyone know of a reason it would be done that way?
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
The first is to move/updste files to get ready for a clean install of the OS, second the OS.

Not unusual the last phone I had did the same process.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
The first part of the update is just to "prep" the phone for Lollipop, like how it was done for the Galaxy S5 when the Lollipop update was rolling out for that.

That's where it concerns me since I don't really see what the prepping is all about when I've been able to jump from 4.4 to 5.0.2 without any prepping required.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
Who actually posts the ftf to xperifirm? Sony?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
If that were the case, Sony would be much more loved I think. And also, we would have sen the 5.0.2 FTF long before it was shared on XDA.
[Xperia Z3v General] shakan09:
you have root on 5.1.1 by this method then?
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I noticed my GPS takes longer to get a lock. As well as once I get a lock Google maps kind of skips around making me suspect intermittent locks. Google maps before had a very smooth operation. Did we get a new radio?
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Is it possible to get off of this 5.1.1 to say a 5.0? Broken stock EQ is killing it for me.
[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
My battery seems to be lasting ridiculously long, not that it was bad before
[Xperia Z3v General] LeifEricson:
Factory reset fixes that issue just fine, just backup your data and do a reset, it's definitely worth it.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
The stock EQ is working on 5.1.1 for me. Looks like a factory reset required for you? I really wish we could get the FTF and root for this so I don't have to put a lot of time configuring this non-rooted version. I miss the brighter flashlight, FM radio and the new camera app.
[Xperia Z3v General] DJJeffT:
Factory reset & FM radio apk?

Has anyone who has updated to 5.1.1 and done a factory reset tried the FM radio apk (http://xdaforums.com/z3/xperia-z3v-android-development/apk-sonys-fm-tuner-radio-app-t3209615) to see if it works?

I used it every day on 4.4, now nothing. I get RDS, but no sound.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
See the same thing, can probably get 3 days easily now, and video calling while in HD Advanced Calling 1.0 (VoLTE) is awesome, wife and I connected today with HD calling and she hit the Video calling feature button and BAM, we could see each other, kinda cool.

Video calling does use battery though, was it worth the wait, no, not really, but it does work as promised at least.

Don't know how much data HD video calling will use but a fun feature nonetheless.
[Xperia Z3v General] cccthestyle:
Have people on 4.4.4 been successful updating via OTA by only uninstalling xposed and using Survival Mode on SuperSU?
[Xperia Z3v General] immtu:
will it work in roaming too

Will it work in roaming too.

Please create a ftf for us.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
I'm interested to know this myself. I'm not concerned, but it's gotta use quite a bit, I would think, and Verizon hasn't 'warned' people about that.

Really am still amazed that people are going this route to get Lollipop when there are so many issues going on. I'm much happier with the leaked rooted version.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
really I think this build is a battery hog although I rarely run stock but I'm debloted and deodexed now the battery is good. I think this build has a glich or two but its worth updating from a security standpoint stagefright 1 and 2 patch and sim intercept patch and 5.1.1 is supposed to have native QC 2.0 but I'm not charging any faster.
