Hello
I received a new update from Sony today of 18.1MB.
I'm unable to install it due to being on custom kernel/root.
I am just curious if anyone else received it ?
The version number is same as my previous version 15.3A.0.26!
Attachments are for your reference.
UPDATE : I got my exam tomorrow so I will leave it here. I flashed new STOCK ROM and it showed update again via Sony PC companion and Update Centre. However, I am unable to carry forward with this update. I end up receiving an error via PC companion / Update Centre. I have now even formatted my internal memory but still its not helping. I will try to update you by Friday evening after my exam!
Also I have started to notice bugs/ crashes after I reflashed my STOCK rom. I think I will flash again with dump files to see it that helps (I skipped extra data this time in Flashtool)
I clearly understand the new update is 15.3.A.0.27 but I am still trying to figure out why I got this 18MB update which I am not able to flash. I will try to make an FTF file from SONY PC COMPANION UPDATE DUMP that I downloaded. IF that clears it out or brings any improvement, I will certainly update you all!
Update 2 :
Well, I tried reflashing my old FTF (4.2.2) and I still get the same update on PC companion and update centre. However, I can not flash it successfully. I tried everything that I could think to make this work, but I couldnot. Therefore, i think this is some kind of a bug which is showing the update.

I was using STOCK kernel with few mods that I made myself. However, I have reverted back to STOCK and now I am updating my firmware via Sony PC companion! PC companion showed me an update as well !
I think it is bugs fixing update without any firmware number change (or maybe there is )! I will write back to you when I have successfully updated!

I updated my phone. There are still Screen flickering and moving from phone to sd card bugs. The only changed thing I have seen is play store update.
And also, new update came for album and movies.

This is just a bug when you use custom kernel's happened to me when i reverted back to my kernel and it started to push updates i tried to update but it failed.
Conclusion revert to stock kernel or any other latest kernel or ignore the update
but I did not get the update, whether it's renewing the kernel?

I am getting this update regardless of kernel and flashing FTF. Every time I flash a new FTF file (FTF made by me from my own phone with UK firmware), I always get the update again. However, it always fails with an error.
I think this is a bug as well. It's annoying to see an update on your phone and you have to force close update centre every time!
Hi,
I just got an update to 4.2.2 in Belguim, completely stock apart from being rooted, which apparently i have to redo, since all my root apps have been refused...

Dude I think you should check the LOST.DIR folder in your phone's internal memory.
If it takes a lot of memory, then you can delete it directly.

Try to root your device and use some Root App UnInstaller to remove all the bloatware you get along with it.
So I've been having a problem with my walkman app on the kitkat update. sometimes when playing music, the track goes completely silent for a few seconds. It's not my headphones and it's not the SD card. anyone else have this problem? I am going to do a reset and if it works I will let you guys know what happens
EDIT: to fix the problem, add the following line to your build.prop file
tunnel.decode=false
i have reset the device and the problem still occurs. furthermore it is occurs in any music player that i use
Maybe some corrupted media files? I listen very often and havent any problem on kitkat with this.
Sent from my D2303 using XDA Free mobile app
it's not the files. It also happens only in sleep mode. I'm investigating the possibility that the android.com.media process is being terminated mistakenly. I will do another test and logcat to come up with a definitive answer
EDIT: I've tracked the problem to the qualcomm audio decoder. will update with further info later
same problem
Any luck? I have same problem for all music players and even on apps like iplayer!
update via flashtool..........

Get xperifirm and flashtool. Download the latest firmware for your device number with xperifirm, open flashtool, go to Tools -> Bundles -> FILESET decrypt and load all the files in the directory where you downloaded the latest firmware to. It will decrypt the files and offer you to make a bundle (ftf) out of it. You can then flash that ftf to your phone.
As ismithx said though, the problem seems to be fixed in 18.3.A.0.40 and the newest firmware for your device atm is .31
You could downgrade to JB (18.0.A.1.30) in the meantime and wait until .40 is released. If you do, get with xperifirm instead.
if you want, you can fix the audio problem by adding this line of code to the /system/build.prop file
tunnel.decode=false
you will need to be rooted and using an app like root explorer in order to do this

Does 18.3.C.0.40 also fix the audio sync issue in games. And if I flash Customized CE1 18.3.C.0.40 with flashtool when my region comes out can I flash my Customized UK 18.3.C.0.37 backup back to phone with flashtool then receive OTA updates and update with PC companion again. When creating .ftf do I leave out cust-reset.ta what does this file do? .ta files scare me
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't play android games, so can't say anything about that. As for regions, yes. From what I know all that differs between the customized_xx builds is which language it sets as your default one. I went DE -> FR -> RU -> DE without any problems and my phone didn't behave any different.
I never left out anything when creating the .ftf, I have my TA-Backup of locked/unlocked bootloader anyway, should anything go wrong.
Problem still exist in 4.4.4

If you have ever disabled a system app then enable it because that's usually the problem, but if not then I am afraid I can't really help you.
Because on all KitKat ROMS, disabling a system app is deadly.
Good Luck.

I'm just following what sony put in build.prop. They commented that it was a reuse of the fix on the xperia Z. I did a bit of research and it turns out the Z had the exact same problem. It has to do with the changes made to kitkat in the way it handles audio
@henrylim sorry, don't know of any other way to fix this
I cant believe this!
With BSplayer music play ok!
It would be that error is in audio codecs in software update?! Bad update...
fix the problem
the issue is with google now, u need to disable the "ok google" voice feature. To do so, simply Just go into google now and tap on Settings. Then tap on Voice and uncheck “Hotword detection.” “Okay Google” will be disabled for both your home screens and within Google Now. but music players will work perfectly again.
I rooted my Sony Xperia M2 Aqua today just to fix this anoying problem, but I still can't change the build.prop file.
It says that I couldn't change the permissions or mount as R/W even though I have root permissions.
Anyway. "tunnel.decode=false" is already in my build.prop and it still doesn't work.
Same as the "google now" solution. Google Now is turned off and my songs still keep stopping.
Has anybody solved this problem? (Android Version 4.4.4)
Hi all,
A little while ago I downgraded my Xperia M2 to Jelly Bean, so that I could get root access. So I now have 18.0.C.1.13 (central Europe) installed. Now I have decided that I don't need root access any more, so I'd like to get back on the standard OS rollout programme. The Sony update centre regularly reminds me that I can update. However, when I come to update it will download ok, but fails to install.
Any ideas what could be going on, and how to fix it? I could flash a new ROM, but that may not help. I'm wondering if it's unhappy about the region I used for the downgrade (I am in the UK) but it shouldn't worry about that.
Thanks for the help,
Neill
Just reflash the ftf via flashtool updates don't work with root as the system has been modified.
D2303 5.1lollipop customised NCB LB rooted Nuts t2u dual recovery bravia engine 2+x-reality debloated viper audio
No joy I'm afraid.
I upgraded to Kitkat this weekend, using an FTF file I found (unfortunately I can't post a link, as I don't have enough posts on this forum).
I then tried to upgrade using the Sony Update Centre. It downloaded ok, but when I pressed "install" I got the error message "could not verify download".
So, I then tried upgrading using the Sony PC Companion. Again the upgrade downloaded fine, but upon install I was greeted with something like "Could not upgrade, because there are customisations on your existing operating system".
I'm going to have a try with flashing lollipop now, but I don't have high hopes for being able to upgrade after that.

As Aidy said, you can't succeed with PC Companion if you have modified system (unlocked bootloader or root) so use Flashtool 9.18.6 for flashing, make sure you have all drivers instaled and also PC Companion and you can succeed. You can download latest ftf with XperiFirm that is built in Flashtool. You can root it with KingRoot (use Google how to change to SuperSu).
Good Luck!

Ouch! That was a bit of a nightmare...
First things first, thanks for pointing me to XperiFirm, it looks like a great place for getting FTF files. It was not obvious what the XF button on Flashtool does. Equally, it's not entirely obvious how to use it. But anyways, it looks good.
I downloaded and flashed the 3 UK kitkat FTF file for the M2. Upon rebooting the phone got stuck on the 3 splash screen, and would not respond to any input (could not even turn off). I thought I had killed my phone. I had to wait an entire day for the battery to die. I have now reflashed a lollipop ROM I downloaded from the internet, and everything seems to be working ok. I'm going to be a lot more cautious about flashing my phone in future.
To power off phone you have 2 options :
1. There's a hole by simcard put some sharp pin in it and phone is off (well, if it's not connected to changer or use on pc )
2. Hold volume up + power button together at same time, you'll feel vibration (that will reboot phone) hold it little more until you feel 3 vibrations, now your phone is off.

Three UK use sim free network unlocked devices(bootloader unlockable). So you're better off flashing customised UK no three splash screen or apps then this is what I've done but I'm using customised NCB instead.

Hello guys,
Last days my phone has not been playing very nicely with me.
I did a complete wipe (using flashtool and wiped everything).
Then I reflashed latest 32.3.A.2.33 firmware and custom kernel (sunkernel 376_Aigoo_1_6_7) as can be seen on my screenshot.
So right now I am on .33 firmware and everything is fine, except that I keep still getting a notification that a system update is available (which is the same .33 update).
So I downloaded it and tried to install it, but it fails and then again I keep getting notified with this update... while im already on the latest firmware.
Any idea's how I can fix it?
- I've already tried reflashing firmware again 2 times.
- I tried unrooting and installing the update but again it failed.
Sony Xperia Z5 Nougat 32.3.A.2.33 + sunkernel 376_Aigoo_1_6_7
Any suggestions would be appreciated, well accept for flash firmware again, as im tired of that at the moment
Thanks :good:
Delete with Root Explorer the Sony Software Update App in system.
Make first a backup with TT Backup.
Reboot.
Thats what I always do.
