Maybe you had to Unlock your phone, Root, and flash GApps via Recovery. Don't forget to backup your TA partition before Unlocking.
I think you'd better choose another firmware. That will save your much time.

Hi
I just got confirmed by Sony customer service that after unlocking bootloader and rooting, you can still update your device with flash tool. But is their any website, like the one for Samsung, where you can find official and newest software updates and download them, so they're ready to be flashed to your device?
Thanks in advance

Out of curiosity, they're outdated stuck right?
I mean they're outdated and so. Aren't their an website with the newest possible updates?
I mean like the D6603 model, haven't been updated since september so any minor updates since are "lost" on the device, right?

I know that. I ask where do I download the latest version of the Xperia z3 software in the future.
Like if I unlock bootloader now, and Android L comes out tomorrow, I can't get it, cause I can't update with PC companion or OTA update. Neither can I flash it with Flashtool as I don't have the update. So back to the question. Where do I find new updates?

You cannot install the update with this after unlocking the bootloader but this is where you download the very latest files and then you can convert them to an FTF file and flash them with flashtool.

You have already been given the link to the FTF collection thread in an earlier post. That is where you get the latest FTF files.
Or do what I just said, use PCCompanion to download the update, convert it to FTF and flash with flashtool

What's about using XperiFirm with Flashtool? So u'r just up to date without having a look into forums etc.... That's my prefered way to stay up-to-date for all of my Z to Z3 phones.
/na, didn't read posts above.
Hi friends,
So the situation is that I want to update my Sony Xperia Z3 from v5.0.2 to the latest version of Android, my phone is rooted via KingRoot, and I can't seem to get the latest update because everytime I do, TWRP always shows up when my phone is rebooting. I do not know how to remove TWRP, will I have to unroot my phone and then update to the latest version? Or is there a way to remove TWRP?
I appreciate you guys to help me out on this one
Thanks!
Device information:
Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 (Build number: 23.1.A.1.28)

If you haven't unlocked bootloader, you can use xperia companion on PC It will install newest software from scrach. Or just flash prerooted zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361

Hi Nojus,
When you say it will install the newest software from scratch, will it remove all my files or will it just install the new software?
Thanks man!

I'm not sure but I think it wipes data, so you should backup it somewhere safe.

Yes it can easily be done by flashtool.. And some other options are pc companion and emma.. If you have unlocked your bootloader then you cant ever update phone through emma or pc companion.. But if your boot loader is locked then after flashing stock firmware you are free to update your phone as u want. Current latest firmware available for d6603 is 23.5.A.1.291.

do you recommend any country specific? bc there are some countries that have more bloatware than others, also better performance

as far as I have experienced the customisations are present for country specific models.. you must flash ftf belonging to your country only..

I have the same problem. I think you can't install any firmware without the bootloader unlocked.

you can unlock the bootloader on latest version, you don't need to be on 0.37 firmware.
edit: but if you want to install anyway i uploaded it to my drive:

Thanks very much. I also have a Singapore version of the ROM. On the Sony bootloader unlocking page it says "Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37". I haven't attempted to go ahead with it anyway.
Do you have drivers that work? I can't get any PC nor FlashTool to recognise the M2! (FlashTool doesn't include M2 drivers.) Do you know how I could install the ROM? I want to do so anyway regardless of unlocking the bootloader because I gather the Android 4.4 ROM is faster than the laggy 5.1.1 one currently installed on my M2.

no problem. if i remember correctly the bootloader unlock page was last updated on late 2014 so that note targeted people who used 4.3 jelly bean at the time. you can unlock bootloader on 0.182.
flashtool includes m2 drivers, you need to install Fastboot and Flashmode drivers. also if you are using Windows 8 and above, you need to disable driver signature check (google it). to install stock roms, this device's forum has plenty of guides. do a little research )
also you don't need to unlock your bootloader to install stock and stock based roms (such as Z5 Style, EagleExperience etc.). if you want to install custom roms (Lineage, RR, etc.) you need to unlock bootloader.

Thanks again for the info. I did install Fastboot and Flashmode drivers as per the tutorial on this site I was following, but FlashTool didn't recognise the M2 on Windows XP nor 7 let alone 10 (I have a lot of old PCs!). I'll try a different USB cable.

oh that's unfortunate, i'll install flashtool today and report back to you. maybe recent versions of flashtool broke compatibility with m2 (if so, i'll also upload the version that is compatible with m2)
edit: flashtool 0.9.26 detects my phone without a problem

P.S. if you still want to use fingerprint unlock, do not choose US. And also NFC won't work after changing your firmware
