Another thing when I put my phone into recovery mode it show Android with a red exclamation mark over it.

I Found Out New Issues With New Xperia C Build Number (16.0.B.2.16) That Is When I Try To Download Anything From Google Play Store I Get An Error Saying That: – DOWNLOAD CANNOT BE COMPLATED AS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT STORAGE IN DEVICE.. I Have No Media Files Or Apps Stored In Device Memory. I Have Transferred All Apps Or All Media Files To My SD Card… So This Is New Invention Of Sony. Rather Than Fixing The Issues Sony Have Invented New Trouble & Problems For Customer………….So Now I Have To First Unmound The Memory Card & Remound The SD Card Before I Download Anything From Google Play Store….As I Have To Go To App & Than I Have Clear Cach Or Clear Data All Time For Download App Or Google Play Store Or Google Play Services…Still I Get Same Error
Better way is to clear cache of the mobile that helps to solve the issue!

Offline updates are impossible until you are connected to internet! 😛
i bought Xperia C in May 2014, the build shows 16.0.B.2.13, have been getting notifications showing16.0.B.2.13 New system update available,is it necessary to update as build is same kindly suggest. Also when i enable the Wifi after some time it shows Low memory notification, when i check the Device memory in Storage option,aavilable as 100Mb, Apps 564 Mb and Cached data as 10.95 Mb, kindly suggest on improving the device memory as i am new to Android OS.
hi,my Xperia C is on 2.14.J.0.68.. I tried to follow the “PROCEDURE 2 FOR S1 Boot Version is 2.14.J.0.68” step-by-step and still find myself either stuck/confused after “step 6”. At this point,should my phone be off and then connect it while in “flash mode” (hold down – volume key then plug the usb in)? <– Super Flash then cannot detect my phone if I do this. Or should I leave it on? (when I connect it while it's on..phone gets detected but in "normal mode") I already have all the things I know and can't wait to get this done. Any reply will be much appreciated. If you feel like I'm missing something,or you have any suggestion on what I can try,please let me know. I'm kinda frustrated as I've been trying this the whole day (not the new into these kind of stuff).
Thanks guys,looking forward for your responses

You need to first connect in normal mode until you are asked to connect in flash mode! After connecting in flash mode leave it for sometime for auto detection!
