My next issue is when trying to update my phone ota to .402 I keep getting an error: Unable to verify. Is rooting the cause of that or is that an issue with my phone?

Is there a way I can update my phone and keep root without unlocking bootloader, I do have my TA partiton backed up if necessary I have to have it unlocked but that as far as I know voids warranty and I have only had my phone 4 days. I have played around with the Z so I know what to do should...

how do i update my phone without losing root?

One thing I keep hearing which does not make sense is what is this battery drain that everyone keeps complaining about, I have had no problems since updating to Kitkat. What is normally recommended when doing and upgrade like this is to do a factory reset when you flash so you start fresh...

Whether or not the the information is true I am sure we will see the official update in the coming week as we are technically already in the middle of the month

If this is correct then we will see the official kitkat update as of the 12th Source: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/Xperia-Z-update-to-Android-4-4-KitKat/td-p/376623/page/5?sl=y&sso_no_log=y

Umm issue which I have not had before when doing the flashing of this rom, I flashed it when it was first leaked then decided to flash a custom rom. Fine then I wanted to change back to sony rom however when I flash this leak I get a constant reboot. I have wiped all cache factory reset etc. And...

All I want to know is if anybody has received the official .227 update as of yet or even the .230 as both have been certified but I cannot find a released version

When installing wipe cache dalvik cache and flash rom, when you go to boot up the phone if you get two options to to either keep or remove the current rom (I cannot remember the exact words) go no

How did you manage to do that?

When is the next nightly update, and in the next update can you allow an option to change the background such as settings background to any colour other than black? Also a bit more work is needed around the smoothness of the rom when the internet is in use as it does become very rough. also when...

Zipme failed badly

What about the gaps question of adding my own apks??

After doing a search in this thread I could not find an answer to my question, so now I am going to ask, is is possible to add my own apks and data into the gaps zip even extracting and then rezipping with the apps I want to install rather than reinstalling after flashing? also if that can't be...

Which version should I flash of this rom and for those who are running it is it good? I have stock 4.4 leaked version but yuga looks better ---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ---------- And how do I add my own apks into the gaps so when I flash it they...

Can Sony please release another update for us to flash and test sooner rather than later, I would love to see how things perform after another update, and I love how great the battery life is compared to before

do you think they will release another update in the next couple of days fixing some of the bugs for us to test?

I just realized we are the outside test people for Sony with the new rom, I hope they are reading all the bugs that we are reporting

Very slow atm I would say to guess that is a bug they will be fixing ---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ---------- One thing I have noticed is that the phone seems to take a long time to charge compared to 4.3 when the phone is on, I hope Sony work on this

The status bar bugs are not really present on my device it seems to run very smooth, I think the rom just needs time to settle

A bit late I already flashed by saying yes, anyhow I found after a reboot the bugs are not quite so bad, I believe that after a few times turning the phone on and off will improve the rom

I don't have a custom recovery installed only .101 before this .227 update, my first time doing this so what should I do?

"Quote: ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. fix?" Yes - disable recovery flash or no?

Explain please??? I have an unlocked bootloader

I am having trouble working out how to flash the boot img can you please help there?

Has anyone flashed the rom yet? and how is it for the first boot?

If I flash this will it be the pure sony rom or is it a modded rom?

Same here for this, that was a stupid flaw by Sony for 4.3

There is a possibility we could see that coming our way, however it is purely up to Sony to do such a thing

It was made official during the night

Its official, kitkat will be available on our devices from next month http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-z/

is there a video showing it step by step? I don't want to make any mistakes

My bootloader is unlocked as I already said

c6603

I have unlocked bootloader already hence my asking ---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ---------- I am in the current stock rom for xz

Do i need to transfer the file to my external sd card? or just the boot img? If there is a specific thread for this that gives me step by step instructions can you provide link? I know about the consequences of what I am doing I just want to do it right the first time

I only have a question to ask, do you need locked or unlocked bootloader and do you just flash tool to flash then rom and is it quick and easy to flash? If you have already answered this question can you please show me I have read the entire forum but can't find any info on flashing and if any...

Good news the kitkat update will definitely be released next month for the xz according to this: https://www.facebook.com/SonyXperiaZpage/photos/np.131733765.100000077877620/272364752923285/?type=3&theater

What I am referring to is the boot options menu, I know how to flash my phone if for eg I was to flash a standard ftf

I have tried to enter recovery mode in the past but have not managed to do so, with the z is there a particular way to do it? The phone just boots up as normal when I try

Is the second rom easy to flash or is root required?

How to flash a 4.4 rom without the use of rooting and only using unlocked boot loader. I don't want to downgrade my device and I don't want root at this stage just want to run a 4.4 rom that is very similar to the current sony stuff, I am happy to do a clean install if necessary. I am sorry if...

Keep in mind Keep in mind that the update will get a further minor update to fix the bugs and remember that sony are very quick at fixing issues, plus it is new android version that they have updated so there will be bugs for new updates

Okay on a related note is there a 4.4 kitkat rom for xz that does not require root and unlocked bootloader? or one that I can flash with unlocked bootloader that does not need root. The less work I have to do to flash the rom the better.

I want to flash a rom from the z1 onto the z but I am not sure what would happen if I was to do such a thing. Has this been done before, if so what has been the past consequences? If you have done this and it has worked please let me know, this is only a question to be informed and want to see...

Update Alot of people complain that we are going to see the update may maybe june and even some seem to think even later this year. All of this is speculation and not definite comfirmation. Considering sony have released the update already for most of the z range, I reckon we will see the...

4.4 Developers Can the developer who posted about the build numbers and say it is in testing, please give us more of a proper idea of how much more testing is needed and roughly when a release date will be, as there is a lot of speculation and no concrete evidence of the update. Once you tell...

Update It looks like there will be an early release for xz as well if the zu got a leak. Hopefully the ftf file will float around in the next week or so. If it does it will be like the update to 4.3
