Hi there,

Unfortunately, Xperia Go will no longer receive any further software support.

Thanks, I will try to upgrade it to KitKat through other means, like using CM11 or Omni.

Sony, it seems, thinks its bad business to leave their old phones to oblivion. Perhaps to "force" consumers to buy their newer phones? When they should realize a leaving customer may just switch to another brand (i.e. Samsung) altogether because of their refusal to take care of their phones out there, not just the high-end Z models I'm sick of hearing in their marketing channels.

Of course, if they did decide to upgrade 2012 Xperia Go, along with models U, P, Sola, etc. they would have had a loyal customer base.

Jaboneros after you install cm11 can you do a video review of it in English? Cause I am also interested but I can't find any review on YouTube in English

I see, as much as I like to do a video, that would mean I will need to repeat a whole bunch of steps, as I only have one Xperia Go

I will just make a new post how you can install CM11 in your Xperia Go, how's that?

No,

Unfortunately Sony will not provide a KitKat update for their Xperia Go..

They have already announced it officially..

They will not provide software support for their 2 years old phones...

Hi!

"... They will not provide software support for their 2 years old phones..."

Sorry, but as long as a device is officially available, Sony can not simply end the Software support. Even more so where there are still several bugs (Bluetooth)!

Whether KitKat is delivered for the Xperia GO or not, I personally do not care, but the existing error must be eliminated.

Regards

Oliver

Even small companies like Xolo are providing KitKat update to their phones; Sony is a big (very big) multinational company. It should learn a thing or two about customer care from others!

Never ever updating Xperia go help!!

Yumana — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:07:48 GMT

Hi everybody, here is my problem, help will be so much appreciated!

I have an Xperia go, and till recent date I have never managed to update it. It is still running on frigin Flinstone 2.3.7 version. I tried everything to update it:
1- Update center: No mam you have the latest softwear (lies), but hey that Xperia lounge looks kinda old, how about an update?

2-PC companion: everytime fails to detect the phone. Restart the phone, restart computer, change USB port, change USB cable, update PC companion, check Mass Storage. Nothing.

I don't know what to do, anymore. I'm really considering to buy another phone.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

@Yumana

the issue is that your carrier didn't approved the jelly bean update.

@Yumana

There's an alternative, flashtool, just look for the FTF file on the XDA forum
