Hi Everyone,
As I do with many Nexus devices and all the other GPE devices, I intend to maintain a thread here with links to all the stock OTA updates for the Google Play Edition Z Ultra. Each time there is an OTA update, its direct link on Google's servers will be posted here for reference and posterity. I also mirror these files at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com.
Any questions about flashing these OTA updates can be discussed and answered here as well.
Current firmware (C6806_GPe): Android 5.1/LMY47D.S6

so any1 gives bootloader version of C6806_GPE and u create this rom can i install it on c6802 ? i know everythink is same but radio diffrent...
I'm not creating ROMs here. I'm archiving OTA updates for the GPE Z Ultra. That's it. I have no interest in custom ROMs.

Tss, stop with the lying. We all know that you're creating Google Old Blue Edition

The 4.4.2 OTA is going out to the One GPE and G Pad 8.3 GPE, plus Samsung has released kernel source for the GS4 GPE, so that OTA will roll out any time now. Logic dictates that the Z Ultra GPE update should be coming soon too. If anyone gets it, please pull the OTA URL prior to installing it and post it here!

Guys i have a question to ask.First thing is my bootloader unlocking allowed is to No.But there is another guy on this forum who had the same status but he says he managed to unlock it.Now i want to try my luck cuz i want to taste Jellybean & i cant afford to buy an new phone.So the question is if i try to unlock my bootloader it wouldnt brick my device in any way even it is unlockable?
And why do you need to unlock bootloader to install jelly bean?
I have an Xperia Sola.

It could get bricked mate. It's not a good idea i think.
Why don't you install just a custom rom based on ics?

OK thanks mate.I am currently using a custom rom based. I think with announcement the of kit kat ICS will become the GB now(no updates & losing app support).But I have a question to ask from you as you are a much respected member of the forum I think a long time ago when Galaxy S4 was released some carrier released it with locked boot loader but people were able to find a software to still flash kernel on S4 won't that work on Xperia devices ?

Thanks for your kind words mate.
Have no idea if it can be used on xperia devices too. I think trying installing a mod from another device it's more risky than trying to unlock your device.
Also, i wouldn't recommend you install JB on a 512mb device. You always will have some lags even if the rom is optimized. So my suggestion is to keep using ics custom rom.
Don't be afraid of the 4.4 kitkat. Don't think that ics will not receive some apps from Googleplay and i am telling you that because didn't happen even if 4.3 is already out.

I'm worried they might do something stupid and my battery life would suck again. Today I got 6.5 hours of screen time. Beats my note 2! Love it

Right thats what the build.prop says...i can install this on my SPH-L600 and it'll say the same thing. So i ask again...
I updated to Sony ROM 5.0 Lollipop. My thoughts on this official ROM is that it has spoiled the entire experience on Xperia Z Ultra. It has brought Snapdragon 800 on its knees. Multitasking has taken a hit, as switching between apps is painfully slow and overall app loading time is considerably higher.
I am really to say that Sony has screwed the Lollipop ROM. I wanna downgrade to official Sony KitKat ROM. Can someone guide me here. Thanks in advance
