Yeah hopefully there might be a root exploit in it fingers crossed

Fingers crossed. Might this be Jelly Bean for Z2? I'm new to the Sony ecosystem, but it seems a bit weird for me.

Not sure what you mean. Z2 launched with Jellybean.

Z2 launched officially with KitKat. The version numbers in this new certified firmware went down, so this might be a step backwards.

Sorry. Punctuation fail on my part...
The numbers haven't gone backwards. "1" is higher than "A" as far as I'm aware.
The previous version was 17.1.A.2.55. 17.1.1.A.0.402 is higher

Ach, so nothing interesting to get the root working. That's a pity.
I'm still getting into the numeration

I'd say it's highly unlikely there will be any new exploits.

Could this contain the fix for the dreaded overheating issue that's plaguing this device? I really hope so. The overheating is the only issue that's making me consider another device.

Id say you should return it if you have issues beside extensive 4k recording.
Heavy use untill it died, and i can only make it "overheat" with 4k camera work.
(Edit) Scratch that, just did another run with 1080 and just goto to 10m, now I am actualy alitle dissapointed.
As far as root goes, there will always be a way to exploit software. Just be happy we have the best minds on it.

I was testing the Xda app on my new d6503. In fact it is my first post on XDA. I've learned a LOT just be reading. Hopefully this new firmware fixes the 4k recording issue and low volumes (notifications and speaker) . I get an "unknown error" immediately after I start recording in 4k. Once a firmware is certified does that mean it will be made public via OTA or PC companion? If so, how long does it normally take from certification to rollout ?

well this indicates a major update, UI or framework wise... the 2nd decimal change indicated OS version/SDK/API level update...

Anyone has idea when this ROM will be up ? Using 17.1.A.2.55 seems it sucks battery.

I ordered mine to Australia from Hong Kong, it arrived and had an update to 17.1.A.2.55 out of the box, after a few hours of tinkering I connected it to my PC and installed some of the Sony Mobile Companion software which notified me I had another update to 17.1.A.2.69.
I couldn't tell you what I noticed to be different as I had only had it for 2-3 hours, most of which consisted of downloading most my old apps and signing in etc.

still waiting time for firmware update 5.1.1

5.1.1 in q3 2015

There was an unfinished leak for the T-mobile version of 5.1.1 but nothing for 925F yet,
if you follow the link on the right side of what you have posted, the story attached to that was posted on April 15th and it says to expect it Q3 2015, so I think this just means that they know its being built by Samsung and is all speculation (although I think it will be out within the next month, fingers crossed)

6.0 in testing

Sony/E6853/E6853:6.0/32.1.A.0.X
Only a minor version change.

Do you mean Sony is testing Android 6.0 beta on Z5 series? If so, could you tell me how to get it?

Sony has 6.0 test builds already, operators should be getting them for acceptance tests.
I'm not personally testing them since I'm "stuck" with retails devices at the moment and no sorry I can't tell you how to get it.

I see. So do you think we will get "concept" version of 6.0 just like Z3 and Z3C soon?

I'm receiving an update now...don't know what it is yet!

Z5C was on 6.152 and as of yesterday is now on 6.200
My Z5P on 6.170, so the new update might be 6.200, putting everyone on the same version.

Check Sony's developer's website for instructions on how to unlock your BL and flash AOSP 6.0. I would just wait though. It's rumored to be officially released OTA in a month or two. Then you wouldn't need to lose your DRM keys.

I can see the binaries, is there an actual build that is flashable? I haven't seen one yet for my Z5P. I have 6.0 on another phone and would love to see a working build for this one. If you can point me toward the download, i would appreciate it.

I think Sony may hold off and move to a once yearly now. There have been no substantial Z6 leaks and we usually see something within a month before MWC.

Huh? How do you come to that conclusion?
I guess the update will be with us either this month or next month. Either way we get it soon. The phone works fine ATM so there's no rush.

At this stage every year we usually see a leak of sufficient substance to show a phone will be released. So far nothing. All the leaks are just rumours.
Also at the start of last year Sony was asked whether they were going to move to yearly.... They said 'not yet' (the Z3+ then came out.)
If anything, the Z6 will be the same as the Z5 lineup with a change of SoC. Design change will be later in the year.

Any news? Does we get MM before or after MWC?

I hope they are right. It's the last time for the update to be pushed out. Since the beta has been out for quite a while, I guess, we could get the final build very soon. I've been searching for any info connected with z3 marshamallow update release and haven't found anything so far. So I really hope the guy on facebook wrote the truth. :highfive:

Yeah me too... I was running the concept as I was chosen to that but I missed a lot of things from stock and usually the beta shows up and few weeks later the official rom...it was like this on arc and s.

No feature added , just feels little smoother. Had issue with two beeps of locking sound, now haven't seen that. Battery looks slightly improved but wait can't judge it on 3 hrs of usages , after 2-3 cycles it may be clear. Lastly the updated android security patch of April . Will revert back if anything weird happens but nothing till now everything good.

A bit off topic: Since u have imported ur device, will you still get LG India warranty. Asking this because the so called "bootloop" issue is spreading like forest fire amongst the G4 users.

Bootloop is seen for older handset, my older one is H810 and got my H818 is a week old. The batch after Jan 2016 has got newer version of motherboard so no at risk I think so and no warranty for imported handsets.

Have yet to see Indians complain about it. 30K G4's imported into the country, where are they ?
When i went through a russian thread and used google translate i counted about 25. Out of how many. thousands ?
The bulk of people complaining are single sim. And the poll thread showed they were concentrated around the early builds.

S6 users were crying they did not get MM until march.
The G4 got MM in Dec.
Difference is the S6 got 6.0.1, we're still on 6.0
It takes work. Be patient.
Save your prayers for N.
The open question is the security updates. How long will LG keep those up.
