Hey guys just brought a xz unlocked UK to replace my bootloader g4.. Can anyone tell me what updates from Sony are like security. Patches are we getting 7.1? Sorry if this was asked before I couldn't. Find with search have a great day
It is up to date ( March 2017 ) security patch wise, soon enough we'll get 7.1 and 8.0 afterwards. Sony has really upped their update policy as of late.

Hi!
I've recently received a demo unit of Xperia XZ (F8331) which I have to write a review on. I must return it to the carrier within three weeks. The problem is that the phone is stuck on a very old version of marshmallow, specifically version 39.0.A.1.213 and July 2016 security patch. When I check for updates in settings or with Sony's phone Companion, there aren't any updates found. I'd really like to get the official nougat running on the device, but I mustn't void the warranty or leave any traces of software changing since I have to return it. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Flash nougat ftf with flashtool, here a guides to follow.

Carriers usually controls the availability of the update (they have to approve the new SW, etc).. this sometimes can be the reason of a delayed update.
However, other common issues with update is that your device came with unlocked bootloader and/or it's rooted or even it's a device with special SW for review units.
If you check in the Xperia Firm, there are 3 units stuck at this version (see screenshot).
If you are allowed to flash your device, I do recommend you do it manually.

Hi!
Just a little update. I did upgrade it by following the tutorial found on xda. I flashed the official nougat firmware for my country (Slovenia, if anyone is interested... There is only one official firmware for it on XperiFirm) all went through smoothly. The warranty is still there (checked in settings) and everything works better. I am guessing it was a pre-released version of software installed on it which had blocked updates because of the old July 2016 security patch. The bootloader was and still is untouched (checked that). I hope they don't notice, but if they do, I guess I'll just to buy my first Xperia hahah What do you guys think - have I made a mistake?
Thanks for help, everyone!
Hey guys am an honor 8 user from India, just wanted to know if anyone (Indian variant) have received any updates as mine is still on July patch
My friend who owns a 6X already received this update 3 weeks back
Any idea?
Thanks
And sorry if this is already asked cudnt find the answer so thought of asking
Urs is the only model with the July security patch if I'm not wrong so they're probably laid back with updating ur device. They first released the patch for the US variant since we were stuck on the April security patch. Then for the European models on the May or June patch. Ur update should come mostly in the coming weeks since it bumps the EMUI version and adds camera features.

Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

I just got a system update notice an hour ago. Gonna install it tonight.
I've got a HK U11 plus. What region is your phone from?
Cheers
No update for CID 060 yet
Got a new update today, Taiwan version
Software number 1.24.709.7
Android security patch still Dec.1 2017
Didn't specify what is new in patch note
Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG
While on 32.4.a.1.54 there was a new update offered (around 350 MB),
obviously it failed on this device with custom stock kernel + recovery installed ...
So the question is:
what is contained in this update ?
Did anyone else get this notification and installed it on unmodified Stock ?
No update in my z5
Australia generic firmw.
Probably security updates, I've heard some Z4 tablets got it too.

Seems to be this CDA for the Z4 Tablet, it has the same build number? It could be a late carrier update?

Nothing on the Z5 side (atleast from XperiCheck and a manual lookup on XperiFirm). I am a bit shocked that there are even security updates for our device seeing how it was end of line for the two years support.
Hi all,
I purchased my U11+ from Wondamobile back in 2017 and have never had an update still on the Dec 2017 security patch
I wanted to know if there has been updates but I'm not getting any due to being in the UK ?
I'm in the U.S. and also have an HTC U11+ (HK version) that's still on the Dec 2017 security patch. Curious if anyone's received the Hong Kong Pie update or know when it will be rolled out ?
they say from HTC , the update comes after 45-90 days after taiwan version...
Exact same here - very disappointing.
Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?
This version will never see an update
I've not had one in almost 2 years since I got the device
Such a shame
No! I bought my U11 PLUS in H.K. 2018 April and it is still running 8.0.0

From their Facebook fanpage, but delayed already.
Same
There is finally a software update for the HK version 1.24.400.16. Downloading now.
Android Pie now on HTC U11+ Hong Kong version!
Can't make this up!
Shortly after my previous post, I messaged the HTC Hong Kong on facebook. Thereafter, I received an Android 8 update (May 2018 update) Thereafter, I received the Android Pie update.
I live in Canada. Not sure if this has anything to do with it or if my security software (doubt it) was inhibiting updates.
Just the screenshot to HTC
Android P now downloading.
I'm having trouble getting mine to update the OTA, once the phone reboots it'll hit 24% and then hit me the red ! . Does this mean I have to flash all of stock RUU?
Yup! Downloading as I type.
Update #1: Damn! It is not PIE!
Update #2: After system rebooted, I hit the check update software button and got this...

Thanks guys
Just done my 1.24.400 May 2019 update
Now downloading 2.19.400.2
It's like Xmas come early as I haven't seen an update since the Dec 2017 update
It might bring new Life to this old boy.
I was considering the Pixel 4 but then I saw that it had the same specs as my current phone ? (albeit it probably does a lot more on Android 10)
U11+ was ahead of its time ....shame the updates were wack
