I am interested in upgrading my 1st gen tablet s to jelly bean.
Can anyone say anything about how does the tablet perform after jelly bean update? Is it any better, is it worth the risk, cause I am a newb and don't want brick the device. Also any video to show the whole process?
Any help is appreciated.
even i am looking for this. any help would be appreciated
There are no Jelly Bean (Android OS Version 4.1.x) firmware releases for the Sony Tablet S. Android OS Version 4.0.3 Release 5a is the last firmware release for the Sony Tablet S. No future firmware updates are expected.
Thanks

I use an XTZ and I own four STSes which are used by two granddaughters, a nephew, and a girlfriend, and none of us experience performance problems. I maintain all of the tablets and assure they are up-to-date and have clean installs. Tablets, like automobiles, perform well if they are regularly maintained. I use Performance Booster which provides a small increase in performance. I also use ES Task Manager and SD Maid Pro to keep apps under control and clean. I also limit the number of installed apps; fewer install apps equals better performance. If an app is not being used on a regular basis, the app gets uninstalled. And I stay away from most free apps because I have found free apps tend to cause the most problems.
you didn't mention one thing

Hi Cat,
My daughter has a Sony Tablet S and it is working fine but she thinks Jelly Bean would help with using apps like One Note.
I have been looking at find that the developer "Condi" had some links that kept saying update to Jelly bean unofficial but in the screen shots I still see version 4.0.3 R5A.......
have you seen any updates to this talk??
thanks in advance!
Clint
Yeah, condi's app only gives you 4.0.3 for *NON-XPERIA* Tablet S's.
4.1 JB is only for *XPERIA* Tablet S. Stupid naming scheme by Sony TBH. Unfortunately Sony locked the bootloader from the very beginning, so we aren't going to get good 3rd party support.
What to do with rooted Sony Tablet S?

My primary motive for rooting my Sony Tablet S was to be able to upgrade to JB. But I guess I didn't do my research before rooting my STS. Now, what can I do with a rooted STS that I couldn't with an unrooted one?

Today, new firmware has been certified for the Sony Xperia handsets running on the NovaThor U8500 chipset. Firmware version 6.1.1.B.1.10 has appeared on the PTCRB website for the Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia go and Xperia sola. This could end up being the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update due to land on these handsets very soon (bar the Xperia P which already has ICS). We’ll keep you posted when it starts to roll out.

It can not be ICS, with that version number.
Going from 6.1.B.0.544 that was certified a month ago to 6.1.1.B.1.10 that was added a few days ago.
x.1.x.x.x is ICS (has been like this for all the ICS releases that Sony has released)
x.1.1.x.x.x needs to be jellybean (it is not stated as a major update, why they have most likely added an extra digit, for the subversion).
But even though it has been certified, is there no guarantee that it is getting released.
And remember that even though it has been tested by PTCRB, do they only test the radio. There is no guarantee that it is a completely working release (could for example miss the camera and other components that is not related to the radio).

The other NXT devices (P, U and Sola) will have it in more then a month from now, probably November, if I recall the people saying about it (K900 and someone else). S and Acro S will get it next month.

we will have to see what happens when Sony Mobile decides to release their first jellybean build. Anything that anyone says about this is so far just guesswork. It is at least the first time that I have seen them add an extra digit to their version number, so only Sony Mobile knows for sure what the idea is with this new version number.

Do you mean that ICS will arrive for these phones shortly, as expected, but this new firmware, whether 4.0/4.1 will then be released in November?

A Sony member has posted (on twitter if I remember correctly) that there will first be released an ICS build, followed up by an update short time after.
My own guess will be that the ICS build, that will be released, will guess that it will be 6.1.B.0.552 or something similar, now when the radio of 6.1.B.0.544 has been certified for for example the Sola, a little more than a month ago: http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21035
and that then will surprise us with Jelly Bean a month or two later, with the version number 6.1.1.B.1.18 or something similar, now when the radio of 6.1.1.B.1.10 has been certified two days ago: http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21035
But again it is just a guess.
It is probably ICS with updated apps
If I have to guess I would say that it is a new ICS version to fix some bugs and to bring the new apps from Xperia T that Sony promised to release to all the 2012 lineup. I do believe that firmware version will change to 6.2.x.x.x when JB is released and in my opinion Xperia S and T will receive JB before P, U and Sola. But just guessing.
Then in regards to the certification, Sony only certified final version of a firmware as they don't need to certify Beta releases, so if it is certified it will be launch any time sooner or later unless a very nasty bug is found on the firmware before release.

for my old phone, Xperia neo, all the firmwares certified were released. Then depending on the model there are more firmwares as they need to certify carrier branded versions.

Android 4.0 ics 2012 Q3 http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-sola/specifications/
2-3 days though propably tommorow
The Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) listed a new software version number for the Sony Xperia P (LT22i). Firmware version 6.2.A.0.269 is likely to introduce Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to the Xperia P, versus the current ICS firmware (6.1.1.B.1.89). We have not seen any firmware certified on the PTCRB website yet, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t coming, often firmware is certified after release. Sony previously said that the Xperia P will start to be updated from the end of March, so hopefully the above news means it is on track.
Via: xperiablog
so i think we will get jelly bean in few days..its good news i think!
One week old news.... Hope we get it soon
Content already exists in jellybean discussion thread :/ in general (stickies)
OP please check stickys before opening a new thread>>>>Here, Thanks.
Not sure how accurate this image is, but according to it looks like M4 will skip 5.1.1 and move directly to 6.
this was posted by @HaN5aR on http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/19/xperia-z2-firmware-update-23-4-a-1-200-rolling/ and some other good news of the OLD Z as well
That's right abut Z series, which was quite foreseeable. What's more incredible is that T2 Ultra has been really updated to 5.1! I do think it's reliable.

He installed versions of 26.1.A.2.145 storefront because 26.1.A.2.147 version does not yet exist.
Edit.
I wrote just for the Sony Xperia PL on Facebook and confirmed that it is 5.1.1 and that any day now begins to update.
I also read on a computer site that the M4 gets directly Android M and not 5.1.1.

Yeah I guess so too. because only the the firmware number is changing from .99 to .147 . Which I dont think its a big update.
Anyway, we can have 5.1.1 and 6.0 by compiling ourself...
They already posted on their blog that we will be getting 6.0

Awesome
When is Android 6 gonna be released for M4 aqua?
*From Sony Blog:*
*Software rollouts are a phased process – timing and availability will vary by market and/or operator. Most models supported but some operator/market exceptions will apply.
It will be updated. Sonyxperiadev is working on M version of their sources.
Now that we know that the Xperia Z2 isnt recieving Nougat, I wanted it to know everyones decision on whether to stay with their Z2 on marshmallow or to upgrade. Im personally thinking of upgrading to Z5P at some point as i cannot unlock my bootloader eventhough the sim has been unlocked.
So im wondering if everyone else was thinking of doing the same thing or just to stick with marshmallow. Is the Z2 still worth keeping or is it time for an upgrade?
Nougat Xperia List: http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-coming-to-a-ton-of-sony-devices/
I'm seriously thinking about a Note 7. Damn phone has a range of very cool accessories. Sony is stuck.
The most likely reason the Z2 and Z3 series won't get an official update to 7.0 is that to receive a Google certification so OEMs can bundle Google apps with their updates, the phone needs to support Vulkan OR OpenGL 3.1.
Sitic on Reddit explains it well.
So we can build from AOSP, but Sony can't officially update the Z2 and Z3. That's why the Nexus 5 didn't get an official update from Google. That does mean we will likely never get a stable AOSP build with cameras and RIL working properly, like the case with 6.0 AOSP.
I will leave Android, and I will wait for iPhone 7
I love SONY and I dont see a point to move to another device, as there are plenty of custom roms for our device and xposed modules concerning Android N like N-ify is there to port Android N features to older devices. I think I wont move on to another Xperia device until my Z2 has hardware failure.
They should let us unlock our bootloaders now. I can't (****ty carrier locked phone) so I'm stuck with sony roms

Like I said i've already done that. I've no branding, flashed a stock french ftf a while back. But that's not my issue. My bootloader is still locked, the carrier it was sold on stop people from unlocking bootloaders, they set the flag" bootloader unlock allowed" as "no". So I can't flash roms.

I'm in the same boat, my z2 has the bootloader permanently locked by my operator. No more updates from sony and no custom rom support so i'll probably change to another device before the end of the year.
Unfortunately i don't like any of the latest sony devices so i'll probably get the next nexus or a zte axon 7.
I've learned my lesson, i'll never buy a device from a carrier or with an unlockable bootloader again.

I know how it feels it was the same for my Xperia play which had that damn bootloader unlock no its stupid in my opinion it shouldnt exist its rather damn anoying leaving me to upgrade to Xperia z as my play wasnt recieving ics at the time. I think ill keep my z2 and wait till theres a new Xperia. My z also had the same issue but when I "accidentally" got it damaged by water it was replace as Sony made it worse when running water tests on it as i presume further and luckily allowing me to unlock the bootloader. Im also wondering if Sony can do some magic with the bootload unlock no. I read that they can but its an unauthorised unlock so they wont do it.

Although Z2 has been going through lots of major updates, but it is still not the King of Updates from Sony.
The King is the original Z series, which is from init. Android 4.1 to 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0 and final 5.1.1. I have always been proud of having one of the original Z series device in my life:victory:
Well its true, Z2 went through a lot of software updates and its has exceeded the usual 2 year update period.
In my opinion this device was legendary when it came out, the feature set and specs are still top notch.
Ive been using it for almost 2 years and i think im going to switch to a LG G5 by the end of september,
because it offers a lot of upgrades over this phone and has the most reasonable price tag between the flagships.

You need a custom kernel with recovery ( in .img ), and the AOSP rom ( in .zip or .img ).
If rom is in .zip format…
1. Load the zip onto your phone storage ( internal or external ).
2. Flash the custom kernel ( aka. boot image )( usually achieved by extracting from rom.zip ) in flashtool via fastboot mode.
3. Boot into recovery and flah zip.
4. Done.
If rom is in .img fornat…
1. Flash boot.img and system.img ACCORDINGLY in fastboot mode.
2. Done.

Compared with Samsungs support and update strategy Sony is the worlds no.1, i own a XPlay ( active ), Arc S, Z ( active ), Z1, Z2 ( active ), Z3, and my next phone will be the X. For daily use the Z ( C6603 ) has more than enough power, after 4 years. All my Sonys running Lollipop ( Stock/CM ), and i suggest to stay with your Z2 with a modified/cleaned stock Lollipop fw.
Offtopic: Samsungs S3 came together with the Z, Samsung stopped support with JB 4.3, terrible.

Hi there,
Probably a silly question, I have a SGP312 and it is on Lollipop since 3 years, do you think is there a way to upgrade to the latest Android 8.1?
If not 8.1, what would be the highest version I can go and how?
The Tablet is essentially a stock one, I never did anything on it, just applied the Sony updates they made available for this old model.
Thank you,
Alex

Hello!
It's quite possible to install even the latest 8.1, though it is still not that stable now.
If you want 99% bug-free experience, i would stick to android 7.1.2, like Resurrection Remix ROM till 8.1 gets to a polished state.
Check this guide for installing custom ROMs on device.
Thank you for the link!
I will give it a try very soon.

Hi buddies,
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Model: SGP321) with Lollipop v5.0.2.
I had rooted it since a couple of years, so no need to say, it couldn't be upgraded to any higher version of android.
Now I unrooted it and wanna upgrade its android.
My questions:
1. What's the highest Android version officially released for this model?
2. What's the best version you advise me to install on it?
Thanks for your kind & prompt reply.

Hello!
1. The latest official firmware is android 5.1.1 (v.10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 depending on region, though internally they are identical).
You can update via xperia-companion software.
2. What's the best only you can say. If stock sony one works good for you, stick to it.
If you have knowledge how to install, and want to try something "custom", there are firmwares based on android 7.1.2 and 8.1 on this forum.
The media players on my Xperia sgp312 keep pausing, has it got something to do with the software, I am still on Android 5.1.1
