There are a fair few reporting screen flicker and B2E not working, so I would think there'll be another update at some point. Weither or not it'll be KitKat is another question.

@Akkush

I think that's .201 they're talking about - it hasn't been rolled out by Vodafone yet.

I hope its not the .201. It is a piece of ..it....

Pretty sure it is .201.

Odd that .201 was listed on PTCRB for about 10 minutes, then taken down. Not sure what's going on there...

Those @ Sony are totally idiots/lamers,etc. I hope their .201 is not the same as i have. (Stamina doesnt work ,slow launcher ,etc.)

And of course SP was the last phone from this company. F......ds. Im pretty angry now.

It's working OK for me so far. Maybe try flashing a different region - I've tried generic Australia and Orange UK, both have been fine.

Not seeing any lag or screen flicker. Not sure if BE2 is working, but then I could never really see the difference...

ATM I have the AU generic. Can you give me a link to Orange UK ?

Re: New Firmware

Hmm, had no problems with AU. Did you flash the baseband/TA/Kernel as well?

I don't have the ftf file for Orange as I updated with SUS. Can extract it if you like, but I must warn you - there is quite a lot of bloatware.

Re: New Firmware

Akkush — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:03:04 GMT

Flashed with default Flashtool settings.

I dont care about bloatware. Waiting for the link... Thank you !

Might be better to do what I did and use the old Orange .257, then upgrade to .201 with SUS. Here's the link:

I've not extracted a ftf file before and don't know how to verify it - probably safer to go with the above as I know it worked for me.

Oh yeah, and I presume you have a C5303?

Re: New Firmware

Akkush — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:17:25 GMT

Yes ,i have a C5303. Thanks for the efforts !

Ups ,another question about rooted ROMs.

If i install -maybe sometime- a rooted rom , is there any chance to a bugfixed Stamina ? Or bugfixed anything ?

I hope you understand... (Sorry for my poor english. :))

New Firmware does not have to come at all. 201 might be the last one. I hope, that we will get kitkat later on
