Recently, we brought word that Sony Mobile had started to officially support recovery mode within its bootloaders. Recovery mode can be very helpful for those wanting to flash custom ROMs and restoring back-up data. It also allows users to test new (and potentially unstable) kernels with the comfort of moving back to a stable kernel.
Recovery mode is already available for a number of devices through Sony’s version of Flash tool (unlocked bootloader is required). This includes the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia T3. More device support is expected in due course.
For further details hit the source link below. It’s great to see Sony continuing its strong support on the developer scene. Karl-Johan Dahlström, Head of Developer Relations, had this to say: “Our overall goal with the open device program is to offer a development environment similar to the one for Nexus devices. Now, by making it much easier to debug, we hope this will further encourage innovation and kernel development on Xperia devices”.

hey guys
i found some news at japanese site
i think this is real SE ICS firmware...
So is the .562 firmware older/newer?
it's weird
submit .562 to PTCRB while release .457 as official?
Maybe .562 is for Chinese only, like 2.3 (.69) is only for germany. Some minor changes only, specific for country.
according to the table, based on my opinion that's a certification for the modem (phone, bt, wifi, and radio) ...
take note that on the Design Description was "Sony Mobile with Bluetooth Technology" and on the Specification Name: 2.1 +EDR, that means our we have bluetooth 2.0 and is capable of doing EDR specific bluetooth functions...
So what exactly is this Japanese site supposed to be saying? I mean it means nothing to us really coz Dude March 16 went almost a month ago ?????

I'm guessing .457 was the build sent for bluetooth approval, after which they can't change the bluetooth modules without recertification, .562 was the release build.
device name is Anzu_ICS in bluetooth qualified design detail
new device will release maybe it's gonna be xperia neo L or something new

Also (and I think we understand your lack of English) your location is China not, "Chinese" just trying to be helpful.

Interesting build.prop lines in Z2 MM build

I found some lines im build.prop that enables Z4/Z5 Automatic Headphone Compensation and LDAC
Here is the (default) disabled state

And this is how the audio settings looks after changing AHC supported to yes and LDAC to true
But after all, nothing changed after flicking the switch on/off. I think we need a relevant libs ported from Z4/Z5.

I hate that in Sony. Blocking new features from older phones. As they did in quick charge 2. 0
To my knowledge, LDAC is hardware dependent just like aptX or the latest aptX HD

Z2 and Z3 share nearly the same hardware together, so why Z3 does have LDAC while Z2 doesn't? And then about QC as well, Z2 Japanese does, and if you flash Japanese firmware for Z2 International, it would have QC. Sony has been doing suck things to nerf their devices, even Z5 line.

There is some new apk files on apkmirror, you can check them.
Just for the very records, this comes with 2018-02-01 security level (also shared by 51.1.A.2.183, thus I think you cannot go any older)
