[Q] Cannot get the newest update for my arc s? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm using an arc s with the 4.0.1.a.0.266 build number, the problem is when i tried updating my phone via ota, it said that "the phone gets the latest version", i tried to change to other countries' date and time, but it didn't work.
Then i tried using pc comp, it said that there is a new version 4.0.2 for my phone, but when it began to download the new version, it got an error message "could not download the phone software because of connection error.... ". i know that there is no problem with my internet connection.
Has anybody got the problem like me ?

wait for OTA to come in your country for your carrer.

Or use FlashTool to update.

[Q] Arc S (LT18i) with FXP043 and ant+?

Hello
I installed FXP043 on my Arc S with unlocked bootloader. All looked fine but i could not connect with my ant+ sensors
I downloaded Ant+ Demo and with the first start I got a message to install "Ant Radio Service". No problems so far and no errors.
I rebooted my phone (ARS says so in the description) but Ant+ Demo tried for 15 min to "enabling ANT ...". With stockROM there is no problem.
Is it, because my lt18i is recognized as lt15i?
Do I have to wait for a new release or is there anything I can do now to get this working?
Have you downloaded and installed ANT radio service?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Yes, downloaded and installed, no change, no enabled ant+
its an issue with fxp043....vibrations still not working btw...
Hm, to bad.
I think, I try it some times later again

Get your SD card out of phone before trying to update
last time when i tried i had it out of my phone. but didn't work... btw does it have anything to do with the flight mode? i had it on flight mode last time because the instruction says that i cant answer calls. so i did that so that calls doesn't come at the time of updating.
i am stuck. after it has finished downloading stuff a dialogue box appeared saying kies firmware update has stopped working. i had two options one saying stop firmware upgrade and the other saying check online for solution. i went with the second option and the box disappeared. than there was another box titled "prepare for firmware upgrade"... it is saying "preparing firmware upgrade components". it has been more than half an hour but it hasn't been able to finish preparing. what should i do now???
About the firmware upgrading and sdcard problems, I've followed the two suggestions from here and the suggestion to modify cache size from here using SD-Booster (I set it to 2048, not to 2024) and everything is working ok. No more "SD Removed Unexpectedly"
Btw, uninstall and install Kies again to get rid of the error message. Don't forget that it's crucial to remove sdcard before upgrading firmware with Kies.
try to update using odin or you can update using OTA.
sorry for my bad english

[Q] software update interrupted - still

Interesting problem - phone continues to say "Software Update Interrupted". Even after manually updating to Android 4.1.2
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Samsung-sgh-I317
I encounter no problems with my phone, but this phone puzzles me.
Friend tried to update phone - said gave me an error. Phone is not rooted, stock ROM. There was an attempt to unlock the SIM using keypad *#..... I do not know if there were any problems.
I tried
1. Setting date ahead 2 days, 2 months ....
Result: A check for software update returned "Software Update Interrupted"
2. Tried to reflash ROM using Odin to stock
Result: Failed, tried several times - lost connection - tried different USB cable failed
3. Reset phone to factory defalts "
Result: A check for software update returned " Software Update Interrupted"
Update successful by
Manual update: downloaded update.zip to microSD card. Installed update Reboot into recovery (turn phone off, press volume up, center button and power) Install update from external sdcard
Result: Phone is now running 4.1.2 with Mult Window !!!
BUT
A check for Software update results in "Software Update Interrupted"
Should say "Current software is up to date"
Is there some switch that needs to reset?
Is ATT blocking the phone by IMEI?
What is checked when software update is run?
Phone works fine - person does not want to have ATT replace phone with a refurb under the warranty.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Im having this same exact issue.. Had my note 2 for about a month now..When i first got it had no problem with getting OTA update to 4.1.2 but had flash back to stock firmware 4.1.1 via sammymobile because that is latest version they have listed and now me too had to do manual update rom zip via sd card.. Keep getting the software update interrupted.. I just wonder if there update "servers" are having issues? As i say two weeks ago had no issues..
screw it..flash a "custom" stock rom....cleanrom will work fine for you
Or just turn off the updates via tibu or app manager.
You need to turn off:
Att update and FWupdate .
But yeah otas
flash a custom rom and youll forget all about ota.

Want OTA to work again
Custom ROMs are not really a good option. This person still remembers the update to their MPX220, and the Chinese Character set. Simple fix to change the language, but huge impact.
I would really like to get the OTA updates working again, so I can say update your own phone.
----
The OTA update servers are working fine. Works on other notes on same network.
I would really like to know what the OTA update servers are checking for and why they are blocking the update.
Thanks.
I love my "note 2"

yeah, that comment will go over like a fart in church around here. You're comparing some c r a p from ten friggen years ago. You might want to do a little more reading
Have you done a factory reset of the device since the update?
use the stock recovery and reset it. .
The firmware update to UCAMA4 may have corrupted your data.
And does the device show "normal" status. .??
If yes. ..the data wipe should help. ...and wipe cache also. ..g

Can you please give me the link to that download because I tried doing what you said as in going into recovery and flashing a zip update I got from sammobile.com and it didn't work. My Note 2 is stuck on 4.1.1 and gives me that Software Update Interrupted stuff.

I'm not sure what kind of update from Sam mobile is flashed through recovery.
Down load via odin is another matter.
There are update options available for mh3 in the dev section

Sorry do not have the link anymore, it was to an old ROM March/April 2013. I found it on a forum on how to manually push the update via google.
The next update, the girl took it back to AT&T for a replacement.
New phone updates fine.
The FIX - replace the phone sad, since it probably was a software setting.

Update problem

Hey,
Yesterday, i updated my C6503 with the 253. update for MEA, because i haven't had an update from PC Companion yet, here in germany. I only excluded the baseband at the install via flashtool.
But now i can't connect to 3G. Does anybody had or have a similiar problem with his ZL?
Edit: Ok, maybe i found a solution, will try when i get home.
Sent from my C6503 using xda app-developers app
Had the same issue now it's stuck in loop. Can't start it just keeps going startup loop.
Stay away from update.

Question Xperia 10 mk3 - 62.0.A.3.70 installed and no new updates

Hi there,
Just bought the brand new standard European version (without the charger in th box).
The installed firmware is 62.0.A.3.70 and I wanted to update it to the newest 62.0.A.3.131, but no luck :/
OTA (tried wifi and LTE) - the SoftwareUpdate app from Sony says "Your device already has the latest available system updates".
Connected to laptop - Xperia Companion (XC) says: "Your device is up to date".
Even tried the "Software repair" option in XC - it starts downloading something, but then the phone turns off and XC says:
Software repair error
An error occurred while repairing your device.
Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact Sony support.

I downloaded XQ-BT52_Vodafone LC Not Net Locked_62.0.A.3.131 from Xpirifirm, copied all newflasher files to the same directory, booted in flash mode (hold vol- when connecting to PC) and ran newflasher.
Success....
PS. I tried "Europe - Cusomized EEA" in Xperirfirm first but for reasons unknown it failed...but "Global - Vodafone LC Not Net Loaded" worked like a charm. DS

If you want to keep your settings, just remove userdata_X-FLASH-ALL-8A63.sin before running newflasher.
I kept it because I wanted a clean flash, but I reckon dirtyflash from .79 to .131 ought to work just fine. If not, it's just to re-flash with an existing userdata_X-FLASH-ALL-8A63.sin.
Success
Fresh XQ-BT52_Customized EEA_62.0.A.3.131 and newflasher v52 worked perfectly - I also wanted a clean flash.
Thanx!
I have this problem as well, and XperiFirm only shows connection problem when I try to launch it.
Edit: XperiFirm from XDA works, flashed everything except persist and now I have the latest version.
i have the same problem with 10 III and 5 II, both Xperia don't receive updates. Annoying. Even with Xperia Companion no luck...
Only with Newflasher we can have updated firmware (thanks munjeni), but i want to understand why some devices don't receive automatically OTA or Xperia Companion updates. Please if someone knows, tell me why? how the Update-Center works? There is a possibility to solve this problem once and for all?
I mean, 2 new Xperia (700euro and 430euro) both with the same problem? Bad luck indeed.
Anyway, with the "not net locked" firmware, there is a chance to receive normally OTA updates?
