I think You have got PLK-UL00 firmware, you can get the latest firmware for your device here.

The official version from EMUI website is still Android 5.1 (EMUI3.1), Android 6 is still in beta testing...

I am from Pakistan myself and got OTA update about a month ago. What's your model?
Mine is PLK-L01.
Update notifications don´t come at the same time for every country or even every user in the same country.
1- Don't stress out, just wait. Or even better, wait for the first feedbacks from other users about the update. Some are not good enough, i.e. solve some problems while fixing others.
2- Make sure you have HiCare updated. This can be done inside the app itself. Check the "early adopters" section inside the app.
3- Make sure you make a backup full relevant data with Huawei Backup app, into external USB drive (OTG) or sdcard.
4- After update, factory reset, restore from backup and phone is as it was before but updated.

Marshmallow 6.0.1 is rolling for M4 Aqua and M4 Aqua Dual

Marshmallow 6.0.1 has rolled out for M4 Aqua and M4 Aqua Dual today.
Any body received the update yet? Give us feedback.
Sony Mobile has begun to roll the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware update for the Xperia M4 Aqua and M4 Aqua Dual. New build number 26.3.A.0.131 has currently been released across select regions for most of the Xperia M4 Aqua variants. We are hoping that Sony has included adoptable storage as part of the build, so once you have downloaded, please confirm either way in the comments below. We will include FTF firmware links below soon, in the meantime please also let us know your overall impressions.

I have a question. If I flash my Xperia M4 Aqua with a firmware that has different Region and different CDA, will it work?
Now I have Lollipop with CDA 1295-6080(Austria/T-Mobile AT) and I want to get Marshmallow and I thought about upgrading to Baltic Generic. Will my SIM card and LTE work with this firmware?
I'm new to flashing sony devices, so please, can someone take some time to help me?

Yes this is what I did on my M2
Where is the adoptable storage that Sony promised?

what about performance? its better than lollipop?
I think we can enable the adoptable storage like this.
Anyone tried it?

☺☺☺☺
I am going to try it.
can someone please upload an ftf file for MM? please?
Not going to update until there's a root method. Hopefully someone comes up with one soon
Can anyone tell me MM released for all variants? My E2363 have not received the update yet. Can't try to connect through my PC till I get back home...

Sony never promised anything regarding adoptable storage that I do know. I think you'll find the person/people on Sonys social media accounts read scripted cards and probably googled the features of mm they certainly don't know what the software department are or aren't including or when updates are released till they get the email telling them.
i recevied update m4 aqua dual but some bugs are there sound is very low and heating issue
I haven't received it yet (Spain), and I think I will never have Marshmallow unless I flash the firmware from another country. This will be my last Sony phone for sure.
Me neither, still on Lollipop (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Hardware requirements for upgrading to a new android version

I just wanted to know that what are the hardware requirements to upgrade to a new android version , lets say lollipop..
My phone has 4gb interñal memory and 780mb ram , is that enough to run lollipop (im running on kitkat now) , If yes than how much memory will be left after upgrading to lollipop?
It's not hardware matters, as long as latest ROM available for your device, then go for it. If you're mentioning stock rom, it depends on your manufacturer that releasing firmware upgrade or not.
May I ask what are you trying to achieve?

I don't think that's how it works, System partition different each device, it's not fixed. Idk, but usually it takes 20-30% of internal storage for system partition.
Moreover, unless you already altered your system partition, you shouldn't worry about that.. Lets rom handle system partition automatically. Another option you can use external sdcard for extra storage, I admit 4gb is to small for int storage.

Emulate Newer Android (Marshmallow) on old Android (Jelly Bean) ?

I have a still reasonable 1,5 Ghz quad-core device with 1 Gb RAM and 32Gb internal memory that is stuck with Android 4.2.2. There are some apps (nothing CPU intensive) that I cannot install anymore because they require newer Android versions.
Is there any way I can emulate a newer android version?
Some virtualization app like Parallel Spaces but that allows me to virtualize a separate android version instead of just cloning the current one?
Hi! Can you send me theJelly bean 4.2 update and mcu files please?

It is unlikely to work without knowing your model. But for my BQ with mediatek MT6589 Turbo this is the firmware link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/tabletfirm..._Elcano2_QuadCore_1.0.0_20131219-15.50-FW.zip
As alternative, download this custom rom: http://droidcustom.blogspot.com/2015/10/romofficial442-mystic-os-for.html

Slow cramped SONY M4 (E2303) 8MB Android 6.0.1 What to do? should I update to Android 7?

Hi everyone my problem is a Slow cramped SONY M4 Android 6.0.1 (E2303) 8mb What to do? update Rom? from what I'm reading different things from its possible to use the latest version of Android to its highly risky compared to other phones like my old Galaxy 5 mini, that thanks to you guys I was able to update and continue using until its hardware gave up. If I could just get rid of the bloatware but I can't delete or transfer it to sd, yes this phone promised so much and delivered little!
Kind Regards

go to settings and then to the memory page. if it shows 1GB or less your motherboard is broken and needs proper micro-soldering repair but if it shows 2GB then you should reflash the os

I'm glad your M4 aqua's board is still fine but mine is broken and I haven't had time to replace it yet but first of all, I already said that try to reinstall the whole stock OS on your phone with Xperia companion and if it's still slow after that then you should try a custom ROM and it's your choice what version of android to use on it but the stock Rom has 2 versions android 5 and android 6 but I guess Xperia companion can only reinstall android 6, OH and the Xperia m4 officially supports up to 6 that you already know
