Hello, I have recently bought a refurbished D6603 which is in great working order, but it does not update from android 4.4.4, which is really outdated and boring, I found out the bootloader is unlocked, I wanted to relock it using flashtool but Emma (flashtool) says "The identification process failed".
I have tried multiple cables and computers to no avail. How do I update the phone to marshmallow or nougat? Xperia Companion says I already have the latest version, and trying to repair the software it results in an error. Very weird
Why is it not identified?
Why can't I update?
Why does Xperia Companion error when I try to repair software?
Why does Xperia Companion say I have the latest version?

i figured it, the reason you cannot update is because there's no 11.3.A.2.13 update released for the stock version you have flashed.
if you have a copy of your old build.prop before you flashed that rom, you can use it to trick the pc companion into thinking you're in another region and allowing the update

impossible if there's no 11.3.a.2.13 on my stock rom because i saw that in setting - about phone build number has change to 11.3.a.2.13, then i downgrade again using flashtool because i wanted rooting my phone. now i can't upgrade again to my unrooted phone using PC Companion or Sony Update Service
Got a notification from PC companion that there's a new update available. Not available over OTA though. I doesn't say what it's updating either. Does anyone know? Xperia Z3 D6603 in Sweden. I got prerooted .77 and on Sonys website they say it's the latest.
Start the update process on pc companion and it will tell you what version it will install before doing anything at all
Hello. My xperia m2 says that there are no updates and the phone is up to date but it's with android 4.4.2. Theres 1 secound delay in the sound when I play games or use downloaded apps like youtube also the audio doesn't sound very good. To fix that I need to update the android version but I cant. I connected the phone to my computer and updated it with sony PC companion but the version is still 4.4.2. What should I do? I don't want to use flashtools or anything. I think it's the phone's fault for that and I should give it back to the place where I bought it so they can fix that. The phone is brand new and they already changed my camera because it wasn't working. So what should I do?
I suppose it has to do with the Country of your phone and/or if it is branded. IF after using PC Companion it's still with 4.4.2 I'm afraid your best (and only) option is to use Flashtool. Not sure how it works if it is branded though, you may need to to something to be able to de-brand it.
Well, actually try first to check if 4.4.4 is available in this way:
- Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*)
- Check the number in Service Info/SW Info/Customization version. You just need the xxxx-yyyy part
- Downdload and install Flashtool (it's small. You just need it for checking)
- Run Flashtool
- Go to Devices/Check Updates
- Select your phone double clicking on the id xxxx-yyyy you have got before.
- If the version is 18.3.C (like the one for 3 UK) there is no 4.4.4. the latest ROM is 4.4.2. It must be 18.3.1.C for 4.4.4
My is branded from T-mobile, and i flashed CE ftf to debrande, everything is good except i don't have extra apps that T-mobile puts in. As i know your safe flashing ftf cos it's official Sony's software, just using Flashtool instead of PC Companion and you won't lose warranty, as long as you don't unlock bootloader.
Good Luck.

Do I install the flashtool on my computer or on my phone?

Obviously on the computer. It's needed to flash the phones from it. Just google it, you find it immediately. Then if you decide to flash a generic 4.4.4 FTF just search around. There are dozens of guides in the Internet.
Alright thanks for your support guys
So I recently rooted my XPERIA Z3v device, and I have decided to unroot it (don't bother trying to convince me to keep the root, I am far beyond your rhetorical questions) and I rooted with the mobile version of kingoapp.com root. When I attempt to unroot my device, neither the computer software nor the app itself are unable to unroot the device. Honestly, I regret ever rooting, and being the rookie I am, I just want to unroot my device so I can go about normal life.
Can someone please help me? I am on the edge of **** right now.
Flash a stock FTF using flashtool or force a software repair using PCCompanion

Can you provide links for FTF and such? Sorry for the pestering, it's late at night and I just want to go to bed.
PC Companion refuses to acknowledge that the Z3v exists, Sony lacks support for it.
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can download the FTF using flashtool as well.
I am pretty sure PCCompanion provides support for the Z3v
Trust me, the XPERIA Z3v lacks any support from Sony. It is basically the basterd child of the Sony smartphone division. Pc Companion won't work for this, I have tried many times.
As for the FTF, I don't see any D6708 model firmwares there, is my feeble newbie mind missing something?
On another note again, I will be willing to keep the root access, it's just that I attempt to replace the Kinguser SU app, and superSU can't seem to update it's binary to do so. Any help there?

what firmware version are you looking for? LL or LP
Original KK firmware here: http://firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/262-z3-v
I can't find the LP leaked firmware. I believe you can download it using xperifirm and create the ftf using the flash tool.
I am looking for firmware 23.0.E.1.44. I found a supposed compatible firmware on Sony's website, but the boot unlocking and flashing seems to be a bit out of my range when it comes to understanding. (Kitkat 4.4.4)

can't unlock the bootloader on the z3v so don't worry about that. You'll have to use the flashtool to flash the KK firmware I linked above then take the OTA to .44
I haven't received the Marshmallow update yet. Updating via PC companion doesn't work either. I think it's because of the network carrier. I tried to perform a software repair but, the phone restarted with an error from PC companion after downloading the files. (I can't remember the error message because I was freaked out.)
I really want the Marshmallow update :/ So is there any other (less risky) way to get the update?
My phone is rooted. Locked bootloader. Current android version is 5.0.2.
Sorry for bad English.
