have you used lollipop at all? I have and I can now indeed wait. 5.1 just fixes a couple of issues it introduced, namely the notification up swipe and led.
I could not find one thing I prefer on lollipop over 4.4.4.
For those of us in the US, will we likely get the update around the same time as the India rollout? Since there is no carrier specific z3 compact, we shouldn't have to wait for the carriers to make their own?

It is not a great idea to upgrade via official OTA if you are not on stock recovery (which - I think - is not your case, since I assume you are rooted on latest fw).
To make sure to keep root privileges, just wait for somebody here at xda-developers to release a pre-rooted firmware based on the official OTA, or if you are able to, build it yourself.
We have just to wait a few more days, hopefully!

Flashing Nordic region ftf of the 5803 model?
Is that ok?
Different region is fine as they are generic.
But different model number is ok?

The main difference between the 5833 and 5803 is the lte bands. The 5833 is a TD-LTE model while the 5803 is a LTE A model. In India, airtel offers TD LTE, hence the TD LTE model for India.

Thats great then.
But if we do it, will we get the OTA update for the 5833 when they will be released?
Or probably we would need to flash them once they are out just as we are about to do now.
Not that much of a big deal in my opinion if we are doing that in the first place.
Sony is delaying it so much and if they are no issues as everyone is confirming, i think its the way to go.
Thanks for your inputs guys.
Off to flashing.

No Indian lollipop yet right? Z2 in India has the update but no luck for us. Probably a good thing. I spoke to Sony India who said Indian z3c will stay on Kitkat due to network issues.
Just came this morning
CHECK YOUR UPDATE CENTER NOW LOLLIPOP CAME FOR INDIAN Z3C USERS
My bad. The Sony service center folks don't know anything

I read everywhere that the Note II was updated to Android version 4.3 - all the US carriers.
I own the international version, GT-N7100 (imported by newegg.com from UK). I purchase it because I didn't want to wait for the US carriers to procrastinate with their updates. I thought that having a version that Samsung directly updates will be more prompt.
Here we are, forth week of January 2014 and I still have version 4.1.2
I wonder why is Samsung not updating the GT-N7100 to version 4.3.
It's surprising to notice that not too many people complain....
I'm using international n7100 and mine was updated in December. It's releasing region by region. Hold in there brother

Well guys if you're in such a hurry to update (I completely understand - because I was too) then just flash with Odin. Download ROM for your country from Sam mobile and flash it! I did it couple of times because I couldn't wait for OTA (and OTAs wouldn't work anyway becasuse I was rooted)...

Yup me too. But I prefer to do it via kies. I go to sammobile and the moment I see my country formate available I connect my phone to pc and update via kies.

It's pretty much not in their business interests to give the latest updates to their phones. Otherwise people would not upgrade or change their devices every year.
"Need 4.4.2? Oh, you'll have to get a Note 3. sure, we'll give you updates in the future. Didn't say immediate future, Did we?"
finaly update 4.3

you should be able to get the update, I have a Bell Z2, i was rooted on the .314 software version. Then flashed back to stock Bell firmware. And the update was available both OTA and via PC Companion. worked no problem for me. but I re rooted after following Nortis guide.
Ok.im completly stock but have no OTA available.
Whats pc companion?? Sorry im a noob with sony
I also don't have the update available. I've looked and haven't seen any info from Bell saying they won't release this update. What is this info based on?

In case people did not know, T-Mobile has an update status page for Android devices. You can see how far along the 5.0 update has come for your device. It was mentioned on Phonearena.

It means Sony has not updated TMO with the info yet. That is understandable considering the international models don't even have a test version according to PTRCB. Once it's in testing (for TMO version: D6616) it will be listed.
Since you have the international version you will probably get it much earlier than us.
The Z1/Z3 are finally mentioned, status shows as "Manufacturer Development".
Now Z1s and Z3 in 2nd stage.

Root alone won't let you update to a generic 5.0.2 ROM though. Still need to unlock the bootloader.

No you do not. You can have root on a Sony lollipop rom with a locked bootloader.
However, if you mean CM or AOSP etc, then you always need an unlocked bootloader for that

If you have recovery you can create a pre-rooted flashable zip from a lollipop FTF for your device and flash it.

Hi, thanks for the info.. Is it true that your LTE will be out of service, only 4G network will work? Thanks... I'm using bell too.. Winnipeg..
I was under the impression that 4G and LTE are the same? My signal says 4G when I am in an area that supports it.
Yeah 4g LTE same thing. I'll try it out maybe before a CND version is out lol. Thanks :good:
mattabyte said:
If you're on a service that has LTE, you'll end up with just 4G until an LTE-enabled region pushes an update. I'm in the US and flashed the Baltic .690 update and lost my LTE... which isn't really that big of a deal since I live near Los Angeles and AT&T LTE coverage down here is absolute garbage anyway.

It's just an icon, mine says 4G and i'm still getting 74 - 77mbps from my carrier.
No worries, 4G and LTE are basically the same, and 4G+ and its equivalent LTE Advanced are the next generation standards, reaching speeds of up to 300mbps.

Try following this guide, it's comprehensive.

I checked now, there's a Mac version of Flashtool, you're lucky.
Download it from here:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
You need to download Sony Bridge so you'll have all the necessary drivers:
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/bridge-for-mac/
After you'll get the drivers working, I suppose Flashtool is pretty much the same, so you can use the same guide that's for Windows.

I'm waiting until there's full root with recovery working 100% before I update. Hopefully niaboc79's update for his rom won't be too long. Those screen shots he posted look very nice.

No.
Not sure why the 'no' reply. Mind you that might refer to a locked phone. But if your phone isn't locked there's no reason your carrier would care or know.
e.g. I was on Telstra and was on kk b4 they released jb for their phones.
