Any idea what could be wrong? or is its not released for this one yet.

I tried but still not working , probably had to wait until vodafone releases the update with their bloatware.
any other way to update?
Using Xperifirm and flashtool you can download and install an official MM firmware. The process is quite simple and there are many guides on how to do it. Make sure to backup your data in pcc before update.

My Xperia L C2104 is ready to be updated to 15.3.A.1.17 via OTA. But, I want it to update from Sony PC Companion. It says that my handset already has the latest version of the software while, in reality, it it running 15.3.A.1.14. What could the reason be? How can I force PC Companion to detect the software update?

.16 is for Orange & .17 is for T-Mobile devices. If you don't have a carrier locked device by the above stated carriers, you won't get those updates. .14 is the latest international update available.

I am from India. I guess that .17 update is being delivered via OTA, but not available for PC update. Crazy!

Use Xperiafirm to download
Hello everyone! Seems we're going to get root soon on locked bootloader in lollipop, so we can backup the TA partition before unlocking. The question is, can we downgrade from MM to LP without unlocking the bootloader?
You know how google, do you? You can, download the Firmware and flash it via Flashtool.

Yes, I did google. Saw a couple of post about the Z5P, but I'm comming from motorola and they are a little bit special when it comes to downgrade, because of the bootloader. So I want to be sure because I have almost zero exprecience with sony.
Anyway, no need to be rude. Thanks!
You can downgrade with no problems bootloader locked or not as the above poster said flashtool and xperifirm is your friend. I don't have access to links atm

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. When I bought my Z5 from Vodafone UK, it was running Lollipop 5.1.1 and ran all the apps I wanted flawlessly. Since the update to Marshmallow, ACR and NetVu ObserVer now do not, the developer of ACR cannot work around this so I need to back date the firmware. I have downloaded XperiFirm and Flashtool but can only find 32.0.A.6.200 for EE. I would have preferred the stock Vodafone firmware, but will the EE one do?
any firmware will do as long as those apps work. some branded firmwares have differnt splash screens. thats pretty much the only difference
Thanks for your reply, I'm not bothered about any splash screen but something I noticed is a file named simlock. As EE lock their phones to their network only I take it this file needs omitting?
Regards, John.
Hey there,
I own a Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 (1288-4394 variant), and it looks like Sony forgot to release the 23.5.A.1.291 firmware update for this variant, which is kind of a bummer since they don't answer my emails.
My phone isn't rooted, and I was wondering if there's a way I can update my firmware without wiping my phone clean.
Thanks!
I own a D6605 with that firmware through OTA update.
Have you searched/selected the correct model at the Sony Support site?
I would recommend to look for it, and maybe specify my model number, and download it yourself.
At the supportsite theres also a tool which has to option to install this update (flash) without wiping your phone. Search this forum for details, as i'm writing this down from memory. They used this method on Z(1) and Z2 before.

What's so special about that TW build? Bands?
Any of the other .291 don't match: https://xpericheck.com/device/D6653 ?
Hello, Need your Help.
My device: Xperia Z3 (SO-01G) DOCOMO-LTE_23.5.B.0.368
Flashtool: Version 0.9.25.0 built on 17-06-2018 16:00:00
I'm trying to flash Generic Global FW to get rid of Docomo bloatware.
Unbranded Generic Global FW: D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL from '[FTF] Stock Firmware for Xperia Z3 D6602, D6603, D6606, D6653, D6616 Mega Collection by hyelton' thread.
Flashtool is giving me error: The bundle does not match the connected device.
Can you guys help, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
There's a issue on the latest version of flashtool. Try downloading the previous version of flashtool (0.9.18.6) from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
This version should allow you to flash the firmware. Revert back once you try this.
