I just got the OTA update to 11.2.A.0.31 ( I am on 11.2.A.0.21 CE version) and I downloaded it, pressed to install and then my phone shuts down, starts installing and after that the phone reboots and I get a notification say "could not install new software version. try again "

Does anyone know why that is?

Has it happened to any of you guys?

Thanks!

P.S- It's kinda weird when it installs because I keep getting black screens after it goes trough the steps and I'm pretty sure that it should not do that...

Yes, it happened to be because I swapped the internal memory with the SD card.

And what about other changes do the system?
Just found out it's not just me. Someone else has the same problem.
But anyway I flashed back to ICS, rooted and saw that I have an OTA update straight to .31 version and it worked .

So I don't know what the problem was but I found a way around it.

Same problem in Xperia Z

The same thing is happening to my Xperia Z (C6602). The phone is not rooted. Any other alternatives for OTA other than PCC or SUS or flashtool? Or can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Why u want to use other alternatives? Use flashtool man!

Normally, I would use flashtool, but the max internet speed at my current location is only 40 KB/s. :( It would take a long time to download the ftf file, which it's over 700 MB. :(

I can download up to 200 MB here. Only if the OTA update had worked.... :(
