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...

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.

Xperia Z will receive Android Lollipop! Happy!!

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

I'm waiting for SP users to infiltrate and say how Sony will lie to us!
I've only just got 4.4.4, I can't bear another wait for 5.0, sigh.

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?

Z5 marshmallow update start rolling out

"Good news for xperia z5 owners"
Sony Xperia Z5*owners have a nice treat to wake up to this morning. The device is now getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
We should note that rollouts are only known to have begun in Turkey, and it’s not yet known when the rest of the world will get in on it. It’s also worth noting that the other variants in the Xperia Z5 family — the Xperia Z5 Compact and Premium — aren’t yet included in this round.
That said, it shouldn’t be long before more regions and more devices are hooked up, so be patient. As for those on Turkey with this phone, be sure to check for your new goods over-the-air.

As I said: no proof. Just read the "Z5 Marshmallow update" post and go a little backwards.

Transaction of above link
Good news comes from Turkey, namely the Facebook profile of the company. It appears that it started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the range Z5 . At the moment there seems to be a bit 'of traffic on servers but the OTA was sent and so it is only a matter of hours or at most a few days.
Turkey Sony also confirmed the update scheduled for February for Xperia Z2 also imagine for Z3 series. We'll see if after Turkey will follow European markets such as Italy

Fake
The source is a Sony Turkey fanpage, the first time that I've read this new was on January 21th. And I was verifying all days at XperiFirm without finding anything, so I dare to say that is a fake.

This info isn't from an official Sony Facebook page. It's a Turkish fanpage. Everyone can open a fanpage like this!

Haha yeah fair. Haven't checked what the differences are yet. Anyone know? I've ported a few ROMs for my old Moto G (falcon), which now has many nougat builds available for it! Just wish more development was done for Sonys.

As announced by Google on revealing the version name, named "Oreo", its also listed that XA will get an update for it.

Lol and where did you get that from? Sony hasn't said anything regarding Oreo AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure the XA is done now that it has gotten 7.0, even 7.1 is unlikely in my opinion but it is a great phone nonetheless.

I dont think will get android 8.

I know how it works. Sites like that do it with purpose (more people will see it and share with their friends and they get more visitors to their site). I had Xperia E3 where some sites said the same for that phone when MM was released and guess what? E3 is still on KK 4.4.4.

You can't trust all these sites, they're just tech geeks typing what they think or have been incorrectly told. Sony hasn't said anything for any devices yet, though I am certain XA will be left on 7.0 which is fair considering it is a mid-low end phone. When I had the Xperia SP some site said we'd still be getting 4.4 when Sony went back on their word but that never happened and it was ditched on a buggy 4.3.

Well It's confirmed NO Android O for XA (https://blogs.sonymobile.com/2017/08/31/xperia-android-8-0-oreo/) :|
