http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66838326

Actually, isn't this beta test limited to Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, at least initially? Also, I don't think it's begun yet.

FYI:
Regarding Xperia Beta Program
This is a pure quality beta software of the official software for Z2/Z3/Z3c Marshmallow update to check stability before launch. The setup is the same as in this concept with invites, beta feedback application and a closed forum. This quality beta will be available only in a few selected markets: Italy, Spain and Netherlands.*
The CONCEPT SOFTWARE is a separate thing, something with a much longer horizon, something with much more experiments in it, something unique in the history of SONY Mobile we don't know how this concept will turn out in the end but we (in the team) have great plans for it!
Xperia Beta Program - Quality beta test of official software
This Concept - Experimental consumer driven software
But if this is true why are we not releasing anything right now?
Well we are currently working on the next release and there are some changes that has stopped us in the quality testing. Right now we are working on understanding/fixing this. We will probably not make a release during this week but hopefully next week if all goes well.

They should use XDAdev forum membership and participation as a qualification, but maybe that's built in to the selection process since people who lurk around these forums usually hear about the beta link before ordinary mortals do.

I am from the Netherlands but on Google Play this Beta tells me it is incompatible with any of my devices (and one of those any is my D5803)

Check your current firmware customization. It has to be the NL version

Firmware customisation, euh well, not language I think.
I downloaded a Marsmallow ftf that's it.
Where do I find my Firmware customisation?

for the concept project just the customization was enough, so first try with that only. no need to flash a different FW, just change the customization in build.prop if you are rooted!
also, for downloading the app, check the link just 3 posts above yours....

Those who got update notification,
Take a backup of all important data like contacts, call logs, SMSs, apps, APN and other settings before proceeding further. You may have to perform a clean install of your OS. While for all practical purposes, using Flashtool is safe but there is a very very remote chance of damaging your phone and don’t blame me should it happen.
For flashtool-Link
1. Install Sony PC Companion and/or SEUS. This will copy the necessary drivers to your PC. Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled and allow your PC to install the necessary drivers.
2. Connect your phone and update or repair your phone with the latest firmware version (right now 14.1.G.1.534). If you update/upgrade, your data will be preserved. If you repair, all data may be lost. So backup everything. Now, your phone is updated with the latest firmware. Keep it aside. We don’t need your phone anymore to create the ftf file.
3. Go toC:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and look for the biggest three files. The folder “blob_fs” may be located in a different place depending on whether you used PC Companion or SEUS. Perform a search for that folder if you can’t find it. Once you are inside the folder, sort by size and see the 3 largest files were just created (when you updated/repaired your phone). Copy them to somewhere else like D:\firmware.
4. Install Flashtool and open it.
5. Click Advanced > Decrypt Files.
6. Select all the three files and click the right arrow to send them to the right side and click OK. In a moment, you will see a Flashtool pop up window that shows all the decrypted files. Select all and click the right arrow button.
7. Type in the device name next to Device, firmware version number next to Version, and branding next to Branding and click OK.
8. In the Device Selection window that appears, select xperia Z1 and click OK.
9. In a moment, your ftf file will be there in the default Flashtool folder C:\Flashtool\Firmwares
10. Upload it and post the link so that everyone can use it..

I got the same update straight away on o2 branded device.
Backed up my firmware before debranding to generic UK.
Issue is backup is nowhere to be found!!! I checked it was there before I flashed the generic to be sure I had a fallback....but looking for it now, GONE! Weird...

[TOOL] Website for instant firmware update check for Xperia phones

Hi everybody!
This post is probably already late for party, but I wanted to share with you a website I've done in june 2013 first for checking the availability of new firmwares for the Sony Xperia Z phone and then expanded to more Sony devices.
Sony firmware check
This is a website (which works very nicely from mobile, too) to quickly check if Sony has released a new firmware for your phone model based on your Customization ID number stored inside your phone.
It allows you to save a bookmark for your very own phone (I have one myself on my phone homescreen) and it also allows you to have a dynamic image to insert in your signature on forum boards for brag and stuff.
It does NOT (yet) allow you to download FTF firmwares from different regions. If you need an update check AND a sort of FTF files index, I suggest the awesome updatechecker (for Windows) by Macmol.
This is the website: http://scavenger.ch/xperiaupdate/
I hope you can find it useful. Any (good or bad) feedback is very welcome.
We have a better tool > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608983
Also that website is know for server problems and slow.. Also if a lot of people are checking their device the website will be very very slow.

You know, I have linked that tool in my post...
And it's definitely a very nice tool (and I love the direct links to the FTF files), the only "flaw" is it only works on Windows, but hey, the more, the better. Right?
mrjraider said:

Click to expand...

Mh... nope, not really. The website caches requests for the same firmware for a short period of time to avoid overloading Sony server. If the reply is slow it's because the Sony server are slow in that moment, there's nothing I can do without generating even more load on Sony servers side.
Thanks. I like this website.
I already have a browser open after my Windows started so I don't need another tool just to check for a easy version number. This website is a better fit for me.
Why not make apk checker
Xperia Z existenze V6
It looks great and is made really well, but I'm not sure whether it's a website issue or custom rom issue because I'm running on .681 based rom and it won't tell me about a new firmware update, yet the website tells me this:
Model: C6903
Custom number: 1276-7939
Latest firmware: 14.3.A.0.757
Any ideas?
You don't have the L on the list.

If you don't insert your own Custom number, the website picks a generic one (if available) or a random one from its countries database. And we all know Sony doesn't deploy firmware updates homogeneously between countries.
For exampe: these custom numbers 1276-2221, 1276-4318 and 1279-2261 will give you all different firmware versions.

I see.
So, you have an older firmware than the one available online. But PC Companion or SEUS doesn't give you any update, is this what you mean?
If I'm right, then there are 2 options:
the OTA check is always slower than PCC or SEUS (or my website) and it may take days before the phone notifies you.
You have unlocked the bootloader or done some tricky stuff and therefore new updates are no more notified to you (check this page).
Yeah, you're right. I should have thought about it. Nice work btw. Clean, sleek, easy to use, gorgeous, Sony styled and other small things like the refresh button and a bookmark. It looks like it's so simple, nobody would use it, yet it looks great and makes the website complete and finished.
How you managed to check the firmware based on customization btw?

Yes 5.1 It´s confirmed I was surprised too. Huawei told me, that´s why it took longer than to other brands, because they wanted to release the 5.1 instead of plain 5.0.
Right now I´m beta testing for them, so I will not aplly root or xposed modules, so I can provide them proper feedback.
But in the future, Of course
Can you confirm, whether the MT7-L09 version is also receiving an upgrade? Just asking because the original roadmap did not mention this one...

MyMate is the MT L09 the European model (even though the first print shows MT L10).
Both models will get the update, for sure!
Today I tested screen time, I left it wit 100% battery running youtube videos with screen in max brightness for 5 hours, after that it had still 28% battery left. pretty good right?
I will continue testing it, and will provide screenshots, benchmarks and all that I can.
This is great news especially the 5.1 version and not 5 lollipop.
Thnx 4 the update and quick q is it smoother faster than kitkat?
I hope you capitalizing because I was reluctant to leave the device. I Mjbk update 5 and discoloration as especially the top bar color. Do the same program rehearse Twitter. And other programs

The update doesn´t wipe anything, but they recommended to make a full wipe before using it, I did.
It´s not an open Beta testing program, I own an Android WebSite (androidgeek.pt) so they trust some media to test the OS. Sorry it´s not an open program.

- You have to have a micro SD card, just copy update file over there then apply update in recovery mode (ADB is not working at all)

Changes that I've noticed since updated:
- One UI, yes, the most significant one, I like it a lot especially the dark mode.
- Performance: better overall performance and daily use experience. There are some games I experienced lag on Oreo become incredibly smooth on Pie (Super Phantom Cat for example)
- Better bluetooth connectivity with less latency.
- Some other nice improvements here and there.
What's broken?
- SAMSUNG PAY IS BROKEN. The app is still there but it failed to use with any POS by MST (I haven't try with NFC yet)

What is purpose of this thread because there is already original thread going on ?
You even steal download links from there.

Please define "official"
It causes no harm
I can't define because I wrote "original" thread...NOT "official" thread.
It is a big difference between original and official.
Anyway, you are right.
Cheers.
Have you noticed downloading lag (eg. when checking for software update using thrid party software or downloading updates through google play?)? I mean the download progress bar is not filling. You just wait and suddenly after a while it say app is updated. In addition there is serious battery drain compared to oreo. Beta 2 is out to try now.
There is a lot happening in the Original post.
Beta 2 update for S8 and S8+

Because the original thread is in S8 group, there's nothing like this in S8+ group. I just want to make it easier for everyone else to find the link.
And I didn't steal anything to be fair, I didn't say the link was mine, I said there's an original thread and included the source right at top of my thread.
Take it easy, cheers.

There's none of your issues happened to me. Noted that I did factory reset after first updated to Pie, so maybe there's a bit better stability.

You have to be on CRL3 (latest Oreo for BTU) to install the beta. Not CRLB, not CRLI, not ABCD, but CRL3.
Copy the update.zip on the SD Card, boot into recovery (Bixby, Vol+, Power), update from SD, select the zip and wait. That's all.

Hello all.
I have: G955FXXS4CRLB
Which is newset that CRL3
When I try to update Beta1 it fails with error:
error in sideload package.zip status 7
Is it caused by soft version or is it caused by some other problem?
Can I load CRL3(older version) by Odin and then try to install Beta1?
Best Regards.
---EDIT---
Ok, So I did it, I have flashed CRL3 version via Odin, then ----> Beta1--->Beta2 and all is working fine!!!
So if you have same issue as me you can do it safely.
BR!

INDIA(IN) ONLY!!!
There are open applications for realme UI early access for realme X2 Pro, posted on realme Community Forum.
Here's the announcement on the realme Community, (Original link):
Hi realme fans!
realme UI update is scheduled for realme X2 and realme X2 Pro this month. We would like to share with you all that the update is almost ready and we will begin the rollout very soon. Since, as a realme Community member, you guys should get the first privilege, so here is an interesting arrangement.
We will give realme UI update to 3000 users of realme X2 and realme X2 Pro respectively before anyone else (on a first come first serve basis).
All you have to do is quickly fill-up the form mentioned below and share the necessary details.
After the OTA is released, we request you to test it vigorously and share your feedback on the realme community under the bug report section.
Note - This is not the final version and may contain bugs and issues. You will receive the final version as soon as we release it.
Note: We may not be able to push the update in the following cases~
1. The IMEI number is incorrect
2. The IMEI number entered does not match the selected model
3. The IMEI of the realme phone that is not sold in India
Terms & Conditions:
1. Due to uncertain factors such as network communication and strategy adjustment, it is impossible to guarantee that the realme fan will receive a 100% absolute priority to receive the update. In case the update is not received, we request you to wait for the official release.
2. The first batch of users may encounter system bugs. Please backup important information on your smartphone before updating to prevent data loss.
3. This version may contain some serious issues that might affect normal usage. In case of such an issue, you may have to go customer services for assistance.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_necQGFknxC9XXPtw8vFm8sKSykisd9BxCEhmqv4gFzkHQQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
Note: It'll be very helpful if anyone here who applied could give the info when the beta rolls out. So other users outside of India could also get informed.
Maybe if someone on the forum could apply into beta and send us the zip file, it could be perfect
Is the OTA supposed to start today March 5th for those accepted ?
