Yes, it is legitimate. I just flashed it successfully, everything is working perfectly. The firmware in question seems to be singaporean.

Please provide us with some screenshots

system dump
Anyone care to grab a system dump?
from adb shell run
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
once completed log out of adb and run
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
I take that back, the file would be over 2gb, could someone instead tar up /system?
from adb shell
cd /sdcard/
tar cvf system.tar /system

[Request] Sony's Android Concept Marshmallow Build 2085

Hello everyone,
As you know Sony give us a Concept Rom based on Android Marshmallow. It should have been only accessible to 10 000 people, but, Thanks to @Jozinek, @jenkins-84, and @russel5 every possessor of an Xperia Z3 Compact can flash this rom, using Flashtools or using custom recovery.
Among the tons of great things that this rom contains, Sony gives us OTA update. Initially the rom started on version 2058 and everyone could update to 2085 BUT Sony cut, for an unknown reason, the OTA update.
Some people have been able to update their rom BEFORE Sony's update cuting, and this is my request :
Someone having a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact using Sony's Android Concept Marshmallow updated to MRA58K.Z1.2085-somc, rooted or not, with custom kernel or not, please contact me, via this thread, or via PM, so I could try to make an flashable update for everyone stuck to 2053

[NEWS]
Hi there, some people send me, or are uploading their 2085 files. Thanks to them for responding me !
In the next hour I'll be working for the 2085 flashable zip, if all goes well, between today and tomorow, it will be available !
[NEWS 2]
Not enought quick, someone made it before me, so, sorry for those who wanted to help me but jenkins-84 made it ! Will give the link here when he finish his upload ^^

it is online on his thread working fine except a few small things

It works perfectly here on a Z5 Premium Dual (E6883)
To find the "Charging Optimization" option, go to: settings, about phone, status.

What region do you have for E6883? Haven't received it yet, debating whether to flash manually or not. I started to see better reception on default rom with hone but worried abkthee region might reduce my reception inside buildings in Japan.
Thanks.

New added features:
Move apps to external SD CARD
Charging optimizations
Possible brightness fix.. (seems sharper)
More as I discover them...

@kioshi: I'm in the US but have updated through flashtool (downloaded the file manually).
Best!

the new update if done by OT takes to much internal space! so i had to reflash it, its taking about 8gb now.

Really? When I bought the z5p, I had the August updates to install and did it via OTA. It didn't take space and I only had to clear the cache.
Did you clear cache? That can accumulate quickly.
By the way, using the Malaysian firmware, you receive better reception inside buildings in Japan for e6883 model.

I got the update via OTA today.

via OTA it keeps files! flashing is always much better in my experience...

Might be a bug but I had a moment on this rom where everything froze and place holders appeared around all buttons and functions, it was a bit like talkback had been turned on. Had to do a hard reset.

I have not received the update yet. Does the "move apps to SD" work?

In France I received the OTA yesterday

Yes it does as far as I am aware

Security/Patch level is "excellent". Well done.
And to be more funny (it is for me really! I am not trying to offend or get pissed off anybody!), adding screenshot from a totally obsolete 2012 device (I know this CM, but still the difference it too bright here..)

I went ahead and flashed it with flashtool and all the apps that support being moved to SD move and work well.

9th October this was first released and they have only rolled out just about half csc's. Whats the hold up ? November will be here soon and were waiting for August security patch.... talk about sloooww

My Xperia Z5 Premium still didn't receive that patch. Factory unlocked version bought from Amazon UK.
