[Q] 4.3 OTA update issue. Help!

Hi guys,

I have searched the forums for the answer to this but without success.

I bought my Z ultra (C6802) a few months ago. Rooted it using Kingo and updated to 14.1.B.2.257 and everything was fine so I was happy. My Bootloader is still locked however I have root.

Now a few weeks back I've seen an OTA flash up offering the 14.2.A.0.290 (4.3) update. I finally decided I'd go with the OTA update, however after trying to let it do its thing, it doesn't upgrade properly and after rebooting etc gives me an error saying "Could not install new software update. Try again."

I have tried a couple of things to get this working:

1. Tried clearing the data for update centre and redownloading.

2. Tried temp unrooting using OTA rootkeeper.

Neither of these make any difference.

I think after rooting that I uninstalled a couple of default Sony apps that were no longer needed (very carefully). Could this be the reason for the OTA failing?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Ok thanks for the responses guys. I've already backed up my TA partition before, but will try flashing using PC companion later.
