Been created and fully tested via latest Flashtool, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907

Also note if you are unable to flash this ROM with flashtool, make sure you untick TA, confirmed to be working.

Awesome flashtool tutorial specifically for the Xperia Z http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614

Also if you want to make a CWM or TWRP flashable file a great tutorial can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183077


I can confirm a new firmware update for NFC.
New Baseband, hopefully that fixes network drop outs - Confirmed it hasn't really helped much, still get no network errors often, clicking retry works fine (very frustrating)
Lightflow (coloured LED notifications) works fine in non root mode, not as well but still very usable (colour cycling of the flashing is a little more random).
Can confirm that the USB interface is much faster, seems to be at least twice as fast accessing the internal or external SD
Can confirm that the WIFI has the same problems as .434 and .350 for me. couldn't establish initial connection to any access point until I fresh rebooted the access point, and signal strength is pretty much the same.
Not sure what others are talking about new kernel, it is the exact same kernel for me

Right guys, I had uploaded it to netload via FTP, and am not sure where it is, will look for the link or give you the username and password temporarily.

I will also upload it to depositfiles.

I have just updated the OP, are you using the latest beta flashtool?, and do you have all the drivers installed?

I have also included a link so you can make a CWM or TWRP flashable zip from this FTF file, if that helps

There is a tick box you need to remove, hang on a sec.

untick TA and see how that goes?

Seems that this last firmware version is unrootable, so,is there some regional or localized firmware .434 that when is rooted, it could offer a .235 OTA update?

My phone was bought from Telstra, and come with some Bigpond & Telstra apps.

The build number is 10.1.A.1.350

There are no any updates when I check in Software update

So, should I flash this firmware

This ROM is from Australia, my phone is not from any Cell provider therefore not locked to anyone. Each provider will customise and lock the ROMs to their networks, this takes time which is why you will not get the update yet. Wow, I can't believe that they are so far behind still. .434 was released in Australia the day the phone was officially released in Australia

You can flash this ROM over top of your current ROM and provided that you do not wipe the data partition you should retain all your apps and settings. Unless the bigpond or telstra apps are part of the system apps rather than installed apps then you might loose those.

I am not really sure, I don't think so though. I believe the non branded ones are pretty much global ROMs, and the localisation is typically only from the providers apn, the internet and mms settings that you download at the start.

I bought my phone from Sony Central and still havent received this damn update...pissed! Downloading this now.

Really? that is strange, I would have thought yours would have been the same as mine. Maybe because mine was not Australia stock?

It should be, I bought it from the Sony Central shop in Chatswood so direct from Sony. Jeesh, you would think these models would get the update first. I see some posts on Whirlpool with others in the same situation.

I've tried on PC Companion, Bridge for mac and the phone itself.

I got mine at Harvey Norman here in Melbourne - update appeared same as the others...strange yours didn't

I did flash the Singtel version that was posted in General so thanks to the OP for this - going to have some flashing to do this evening

Yeah, it's quite outdated :crying:

The phone is unlocked from Telstra but Telstra branded. That's why I hate branded phone, but Telstra offers 2 year warranty service. and Sony is quite unstable phone, easily got bricked.

I did install CWM recovery and root it.

Does it affect to OTA update? Should I unroot it to have the OTA update?
