Sony recently seeded out a minor performance update (firmware version 12.1.A.1.207) for its KitKat-hungry Xperia SP LTE (C5303) owners on a few specific cellular networks in Europe. To everyone’s disappointment, this firmware still sticks to v4.3 Jelly Bean and only brings a couple of stability improvements and bug-fixes (SP owners should now get used to it). Anyway, you can download the FTF file for this update using the direct download links given below.

Since these are carrier-specific firmwares, it is very likely that they come preinstalled with unwanted bloatware apps, but you can remove them later manually if you really want to. I’ll try to post the FTF files for other variants of SP too (not a promise!) – stay tuned!
