Unable to update .244 from OTA for my Xperia Z

[Flashben]

Hi,

I am not able to update my XZ to the latest .244 firmware. Here are some info of my Phone.

1) locked bootloader (it is unlockable)
2) current on .423 firmware.
3) rooted
4) install superSU (with survival mode on)
5) install OTA rootkeeper.

I saw some post stating that they are able to keep root after OTA, so i am hoping to keep my root too after OTA.

please advise.

I have exactly the same problem. Cant do OTA and im states scared to update through PC companion since my friend bricked up the phone.

Are you running stock .423 odexed? I had this issue when I flashed a deodexed ROM then tried OTA update

Hi,

It is not possible to do a OTA Update after deleting one or more system apps (even stuff like partnerbookmarks).
There are, however, 2 ways to get the Update.

1.) Follow some of the instructions here like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287149
There are some other ways posted here at xda. They use the flashtool to flash current firmware.

2.) Use Sony PC Companion, this will work ALWAYS,but: Root will be gone. U can use Doomlords rooting method to get Root again:

PC Update will never fail, the only thing is that you lose root access, which can be easily recovered though.

Hi mate, dont panic. Just follow the instructions on how to flash a stock firmware with flashtool. This is already described here at xda, try searching for it. It will repair your phone but data may be lost.
