Non rooted,everything stock,7.1.1,phone just download 146mb update and goes into restart,start verifing update and restart again with a message could not update,same goes with a xperia companion
that's strange.any chance you bought the phone second hand?
no i have found its a common issue with xz model on xperia support forum page
Don't bother with it. This latest update is awful. You will have a horrible experience updating to this build. Your phone will lag, get warm and apps will close. Wait for the next update.
Well thats not the answer
I have the exact same behavior with the OTA for 41.2.A.7.35 (Verifying update, then phone restarts). The update is not installed, nor does it install through Xperia Companion.

motorola has released recently an update for the milstone
every time i download this update (OTA) it downloaded successfully but when i hit install the phone restarts then starts to unpack then the phone boots with the message update failed so
i pulled the downloaded file from /cache/FOTA/update.zip
and tried to apply it using open recovery and i got the following massage
E:could not find update-binary
i guss it is the recovery i use
so please help me installing this update
ps: i will post the link to the update.zip as soon as i upload it
you may want to use the motorola software update tool installed to your pc. I also encountered the same problem as yours, but when i did this method, i was able to update my phone. hope this helps.
i have forget to mention that when i use the software it tells me that there is no update for my phone
Any change in this update anyway?
Thanks.
ya i heard it make u lose root for good closes loop holes in software don't do it!!
I updated via PC (MotoConnect) and lost root, but 2.1 root method still works, so I just rooted it again..
The battery usage from new firmware patch is crazy; 50% gone overnight. The most of usage is from "phone Idell". I should wait.
That's most likely a one time deal: I had similar in the update from 2.0.1 to 2.1 (or was it 2.0 -> 2.0.1..?). First night almost ran the battery dry, but after the next recharging cycle (and maybe a reboot) things were normal again. That's actually a fairly common issue judging from various milestone/android forums..
Also: all I noticed after this update was a small increase in battery life :]
Hi Peter,
are you in 3G or 2G mode?
I'm mostly on 2G.
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...
edit-camera,album,movies and walkman apps pdated too.
OMG!!!

OK??
I got this update weeks ago here in the US. Only firmware updates for Album and Walkman apps.

I have xperia SL version 4.0.4. Actually, it used to be 4.1.2 but I flashed it to MIUI then I flashed it back to firmware 4.0.4 (becasue of some problems found while using MIUI) because I could not find the firmware 4.1.2. Luckily, I got OAT update of version 4.1.2 LT26ii_6.2.B.0.200. When I completed download the update, and press install update, my phone turned off and then it turned on again with the message: could not install update. I tried download that again but the same thing happened. I tried to use Sony pc companion to update through computer. Yes, it has found the latest update for it 4.1.2 LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96. But I dont know why? while I am downloading the update, it never completes. when it is nearly 100 percent then it started to download again with like 0 percentage. I also tried that twice, the same thing happened, Why?
Btw, I am new to the website and I know very little about android. thank in advance!
Just got the Update from 0.672 to 2.1
It increased quite a bit... will update with screenshot when it's done.
But the patch was only around 76mb in size. So i don't expect more than security update.
Edit:
Maybe only may patch. Got it too.
Isn`t it buil-number 52.1.A.2.1 instead of 51?
anything new and improved in this build?Like is the lag and touch screen issues fixed?
Does Sony ever release any changelogs? This is bizarre, not knowing what's going on.
Fingerprint Reader improved a Lot with this Update - for me at least
I am looking to download this firmware version 52.1.A.2.1 so I could flash it with flashtool (I'm on 0. 672) I'm using a customized US firmware, I have been checking for OTA updates but I've got nothing.
Edit 1: I got the firmware in Xperifirm and installed it but the bugs I was experiencing didnt get fixed.
edit 2: I came back to Android 9
And as usual,Singtel SG always late update,should be the last..oh my God
Anyone that already got the update can comment any improvements or problems you are experiencing?
I have big battery drain with Android 12
My experience with Xperia phones is that there is often a period of increased battery drain the weeks after an Android version upgrade. Sometimes, I needed a factory reset to make it go away. But, I didn't have to do that when my 5 II went from Android 10 to 11.

Nope. And after the 12 update, phone doesn't get warm when charging
Any advice to get the update on the states?
I'm super curious how to get the update, OTA has nothing and the xperia app tells me I'm updated, but I'm still on Android 11 and https://xpericheck.com/XQ-BC52/23119804 tells me it's been out for weeks. I'm in Denmark so I'm guessing it's the right package in the URL.
Feel like a noob asking but it's super weird if they stagger it so long I think

True that. Also have the XQ-BC52, and I got the update via OTA about two weeks ago, I'm from Sweden. Really nice update since it seems like all the "heating issues" is gone now Now this phone is pure pleasure!

i'm afraid you are forced to flash your update via Newflasher. Probably you got my same problem (but with 5 II): your device don't receive OTA updates at all? If is this the case, then yes, you have to update it manually. Sorry.

Hi and thanks, my 5III did get two security updates so it's able to get OTA.
Interestingly enough the xperia companion also is stuck on Android 11 it seems telling me there is no new update...mmmm I'll wait a bit before trying to flash the official version manually

I made repair fon and get A12 from xperia companion. But its like a factory reset!
so I waited until the OTA update after Android 12 and that brought my 5 III up to 12 and on that OTA version so that was easier
Cheers guys !!
No issues with Android 12. Battery seems a little better. New UI is meh. Not a big upgrade, but not bad.
