NEW firmware certified!

LINK
Fingers crossed as it seems to be the Kit Kat update based on the firmware number!!! :fingers-crossed:

Seems like a mistake. The first number (in this case, 14), represents the DreamBoard (interface name used inside Sony's dev thingy) belongs to Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra. Just like Z, ZL and a few others, Tablet Z begins with 10. The second number (after the first "stop") is the one that represents a new Android version. Notice how it went from 1 to 3 (from 4.1.2 to 4.3, to 4 (4.3). KitKat should be, in theory, 10.4.x.x.xxx

Since the XZ and ZL got the same build number it may not be a mistake... but might be as well..... time will tell :fingers-crossed:

I know, that's where I found the news about XZ and then searched for the Tablet, but they are not sure: "although we haven't seen mistakes like this in the past. Whatever comes of this, we'll keep you informed. "

Haha. Yeah... Info says Z1 should get KK at the start of April, tops. DooMLoRD also mentioned Z might have it even before Z. Considering the Tablet updates always take a bit more to be released, and that the WiFi only versions takes even longer, I bet the SGP311/312 should get KK, following that logic, around the mid or end of April...

Go to Xperia Blog, and look there for the post.

I think it's a database error, because there's no "10.4.1.B.0.101" in the list, whic is the latest FW update. However, hope dies last cause in the date column says "Mar 13, 2014"....

While I agree that the update will probably be released in the next few weeks, PTCRB certification only tests for compliance to mobile (cell) network standards and is only a small part of Sony's certification process. Therefore it does not guarantee a particular firmware version will be released.

From My Xperia Z With XDA App

Very likely that 4.4.4 will stay the latest update. According to this source, Xperia Z will become EOL, and not get an official Android L update:

I personally think we was lucky to get 4.4.4 anyway so certainly not at all expecting Android L currently deciding what to do buy out my contract and get the Z3 or wait until January and see what else is available

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.

Not that I know of. Just the binaries. You will have to build it on your own by following Sony's directions.

The new phone will be announced at WMC in Feb.... At least that's what everyone is expecting based in the major tech sites.

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?

Android 6 for Xperia z3 within a couple of weeks.

Hi all
I saw an official statement saying that the z3 will recieve marshmallow within a couple of weeks.
This info is something that I got from the Danish Sony mobile division.
Let's hope they can deliver ?
Good day to you all.

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.
I look forward to this though, to win the game is to provide updates fast and with stability, other stuff can come later imo
I search the net every day for updates on the marshmallow but nothing until I just wanted to help support those with problems

Wasn't a document already "leaked" with the update roadmap which said Z2/Z3 in the end of April? I swear I've seen it somewhere.

Marshmallow coming soon!
I live in Canada and my service provider "Roger's" has it posted on their update page as "coming soon" for Z3 and another source told me it would be closed to the end of the month. Hope it works as well as the tests on beta have shown.

Oreo rolling out in australia?

Check the XDA homepage.. they said that G5 and G5s users are receiving oreo in australia and new zealand.. anyone can confirm this?

Here's the article:
Motorola Brings Android Oreo to the Moto Z, Z2 Play, G5, G5S and More in Australia and New Zealand

Excellent, I hope that some users can share the zip, or something similar to install the update on other update channels, as they did with the G4 Plus when it received 7.0

I'm shocked. Is this real?

Motorola moderators say it is fake and clickbait, but i don't really believe in them since they say they don't know more than ud users do..
They guy that started this information said it is based on an email that was received from motorola australia.. not sure if it's real, we have to wait.

Needs to be more independent reports before we can trust it.

Is there anybody from Australia here ?

I'll believe it when retus finally sees npn25.137-93. (not gonna lie, seeing the announcement on the XDA front page got me excited for a split second.)

Nope no Oreo. I'm from Australia. I think I actually prefer nougat. I have a Nokia 8 on oreo 8.1 and it's smooth and all but that's running a s835. This Moto g5 plus feels pretty smooth (apart from heavy live wallpapers and games) for a s625. And I like nougats overall look
