Get the Update

For those like me who are trying to upgrade to version 7.1 (firmare 41.x) - by downloading with Xperifirm and trying to use Flashtool - note that Flashtool (As at this posting) needs to be updated to have this new version (41) added in the devices configuration..

A work around is to download a 39 version for a CDA which already received the OTA upgrade to 41, so that you change the CDA of your phone to the one which already received the OTA update, then your phone will automatically get the latest 41 version via OTA update...

in plain english:
Today there is Customized FR version 41.2.A.2.199 available however my device is not on this CDA so it does not get OTA update. So I googled F8132_39.2.A.0.374_1302-9341_Customized-FR FTF (Note the 39 in the filename)(there might be a newer F8132_39_xxxx available ) - Flashed my phone with this version using flashtool (This worked because this is version 39.X not 41.X which is not compatible on flashtool yet for our model)... then my phone could see the OTA update to 7.1 (had to upgrade to 7.0 something first)

My phone is not rooted or unlocked.

Any news on daily use with this new update?

Just purchased my X perfomance, and really disapointed about the battery life.
Hoping to see some improvements in the finalization of Nougat.

This is fine and dandy but one problem... If you have a custom kernel... Sony OTA updates dont work... at all.......
So the remedy would be to wait for somebody to update the flashtool so it works with the latests firmware that just released...:fingers-crossed:

Would this cause the no loader found error?
