help needed ## Sony care team don't believe me

Hi all, I have a Z1 c6903, I brought this phone from new as an unlocked to all networks phone from littlewoods only 4 months ago, now straight out the box it had android 4.4.4 kitkat, here's the problem...I sent it to Sony to fix a vibration on it, they sent it back to me fixed But changed the andriod from kitkat to jellybean?? I've messaged them emailed the contacted them but they Insist!! It's always been on jellybean and they haven't changed it, they don't believe me when I'm telling them IT WAS ON KITKAT 4.4.4...they downgraded it, all they tell me is try using your pc to update it, I HAVE... IT WON'T UPDATE... It's stuck on old jellybean 4., why is this?? It had kitkat, does anybody know why or whathe changed my phone? And how to update it to back to how it was, also thinking if it won't update to kitkat then it has no chance of updating to lollipop even though my friend has lollipop now on his Z1, I feel left behind about 3 years behind...

I'm sorry to hear that

contact them again, they should be able to flash the correct update.

Hi thanks, I have been in contact again about 2 hours ago on the chat helper, and yet again they say my ime numbers has always been on jellybean and they don't have the facilities to downgrade a device, so I must be a liar??
The one thing I liked about my new phone was the fact it had android 4.4.4, that's why I brought it, they do this to me, I can't prove I had kitkat so they won't give it me

Littlewoods - I take it you are in the UK like me and if so and you know how to manually flash your device then I have Stock UK generic 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 firmware for the same device model number

Yes I'm in the UK, I haven't flashed it, it was 4.4.4 straight out the box from new

I'm not saying you have flashed it - I'm offering you the 4.4.4 stock firmware to manually flash your phone or you can manually flash the LP firmware

Oh cheers, but I don't know how to flash and don't want to void my warranty, I just keep trying the pc companion but seems to think I'm up to date everytime

Bootloader unlocking it not needed and if you flash the stock UK firmware as it should have then in my opinion you will be fine - I can provide full idiot proof instructions - Apologies for the wording but that's just a UK way of saying easy to follow and carry out
