where did u dl ur FW?

erm where you get the flashtools? can share the link? u did full wipe?thanks!

dont need to root 1st rite?

Does anyone know when the Xperia Z1F becomes available? I found it on this websitet but they don't have prices yet..

"Preparing files for flashing"

need to wait it finish then only plug phone?

5 mins and nothing shows

.257 able to root or not guys?

ask me to install driver. i found it in the driver folder.selected Z1 and its showing installing but wont move .aiks

pop out another windows ask me really want to install? as the driver no valid digital sign. i chose install anyway and it still stuck.

then i might wait for the root to be available first before update.

is there any major improvement with this update apart from the enhanced picture quality?

change another pc n it works fine.thanks guys

yup, not much changes, at least it improves my phone batt life improve. now charging through pc for few hours already, still havent reach 50% mark, lol, better than last time, batt life decreasing when charging while using the phone. mine still have nfc icon when switch on.
camera wise, i'm not expert either, but imo the superior auto there might be some increase in iso for quicker exposure, which i find in some instances it could be a bit high. for manual, i think, pretty much the same, maybe some slight improvement on 20mp, but still find it not really impressive and a bit over rated.
still no root for 257 yet, maybe for those who wants to retain their root should consider not updating it.

hmm.....i think i will wait for the root method before i update firmware

To all Z1 users, I noticed following issues happening with my unit for the past 3 weeks:

1. Auto Restart by itself - so far I witnessed this twice with my own eyes, not sure if it happens too when in my pocket or left it unused on table

2.Buggy Calendar – month/agenda list view stuck at first event (view will bounce to top even after scrolling down, calendar often crashed after/while refreshing, laggy interface after refresh button is clicked

3. Camera file naming – file naming resets back to 0001 once photos are removed from folder
Wanna ask if there's any fix for above 3 issues? Sony Z1 is a great phone and these software issues kind of bug me. I'm coming from HTC One and never have such issue with HTC. I would say HTC's Sense OS is more stable than Sony's version of Android...

yeah sometimes autofocus can be such a pain.
oh there's an update in PCC, but i'm not doing it yet....i haven't root my phone too LOL. still waiting & reading all of your comments here before doing anything i may regret later

ISO200 1/25" for both firmware.

Let you guys guess which is which firmware

yeap correct.
imo not much difference for me.

waiting for the new photo comparison 

did my battery drain too fast? 10% brightness, 1-2hrs of wifi only when i was at home and rest of the time only on edge, no 3G and LTE
