No problem mate...will wait.......hopefully it comes out this week
Xperfir, is showing 242 for 6 markets, all 6833 (Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, UAE, Thaliand, France and Mena Latin)
post screenshots..
For those are with 6833, i have already install the update, is the 5.0.2, only "issues" i have found:
- No XLOUD on Walkman APP, but have the EQ and Clear Audio etc...
- Camera quality is worst than on 4.4.4, more granulated, if you take a picture and zoom it, is worst than ever, even worst than in my Xperia SP!!!!
- My phone is heat more than in 4.4.4, in 4.4.4 i have ~24/25º, now on 5.0.2 have 27.5/28º (nothing special i know, but it feels in hand more than before.)
Until now is only that i can see is the problems, XLOUD is not a problem, i can live without XLOUD...but Camera is something i can belive the update fck'd up!!
how is possible the camera is worst on 5.0.2??can u post some comparisons?
Just got done updating my C6806 and everything is working perfectly. I am able to use my LTE from T-Mobile as well as send and receive picture messages. Sony's Lollipop feels very smooth. I have not encountered any bugs yet.
So for the people asking if its safe to update outside of your region, the answer is yes and it works extremely well.
Trying to download with xperifirm, but every time it stops at about 15% and i can't resume, only start from 0... so... that sucks, yeah

it means it has customized local apps like sony jiv , bse/nse stock prices etc . customized means all these local customizations by sony itself. generic unbranded ftf means without such bloatware

Thanks! Well can someone plz post the generic unbranded one. Because there is no convenient way to root 5.1 for locked bootloader. And 95% people hate that bloatware.
Btw I dont think there might be any problem if I installed that on my Indian version of Xperia. Z Ultra C6802

Problem/Questions
Too often, the phone is locking up completely where it will not respond to anything and I have to hold down Power and Vol UP + Down to force it to reboot. I find it odd as I've never had an unrooted phone do that to me before.
In anycase, I always try to root my android phones and I have plenty of experience doing it so don't believe you'll consider me a noob...
I was reading through [F32xx][Guide][N] How to root your Xperia XA Ultra (as noob friendly as possible) and it mentions that in order to do whatever a Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2 is before I root the phone. but in order to do it, I have to downgrade to Marshmallow (ver 6.0).
Ok so I couldn't find a guide on how to do that let alone finding the firmware files for my phone in my region that is my variant.
Questions:
1) Is there a US Region version of Marshmallow for model 3215 that is downloadable somewhere? If not, I found other regions of the same phone model number (3215) than the US. (i.e. Latin America)---Could I use that without any issues?
2) Is there something specific that I can do for anyone else here with my particular phone version that may benefit you or the development of this phone before I "ruin it" with a root?
3) What is a TA Backup and why would I care to save it?
Thanks,

Their are guides for rooting 32xx ultra.
If your phone branded you will not be able to unlock bootloader.

same here UI often suddenly frosted
Hi!, I have difficutly in the docomo z2 tab firmware I feel not really comfortable with the bloatware, and docomo stuffs. Should I stay in 4.4 or upgrade to 5.0 or maybe change to global version?
the bloatware from Sony are present in all firmwares, the only difference is that in EU/US versions it's only Sony stuff, in japanese it's also operators apps. All Sony Xperia devices for Japan made specifically with locked bootloader, so you can't use custom clean firmware here, maybe it's possible to delete apps but you need to get root, which is possible with some work even on locked bootloader. But i prefer to just disable maximum as possible, i don't need to use devices for super sensitive information yet, so for now i tolerate presense of some bloatware.
Considering updating, japanese Sony devices can be easily updated to latest global versions (local japanese firmwares sometimes behind global for many Sony devices, in Xperia Z2 tablet the last version for Japan is only Lollipop, but the global is Marshmallow many years already).
You can easily update to Marshmallow official firmware by Flashtool from any country version (except few - like Verizon USA are not flashing), but there's some things which you loose if flashing EU Marshmallow version:
1. NFC - in japanese Sony devices it's different chip or something than in european version.
2. Tethering - global versions of this Z2 tablet with 32Gb is only Wi-fi models - you can flash them easily but there's no tethering at all (because Wi-fi models with no SIM slot), there's no even bluetooth internet sharing, this function are removed from Wi-fi only firmwares.
3. 32Gb - as mentioned above - only Wi-fi models with 32Gb, others are only 16Gb, you are loosing serious amount of space - i tested that and really regretted after month using esp. with big video files like movies and etc., 16Gb is very small for normal use.
So, there's a way to get above this problems but you need to flash your device with flashtool 2 times with different firmwares.
1. To get Marshmallow with 32Gb and NFC - flash fully the latest firmware for SGP512 (USA version) - it's 32Gb and NFC works, but because it's Wi-fi model - to preserve storage size and receive Tethering and SIM card functions do step 2. Install it, activate as usual welcome screen. Turn off and ready to flash again.
2. Take any global firmware for SGP521 and flash it with ONLY such parts – system, kernel and cache (apps_logs and userdata - choose wipe), if it asks for FSC - choose NO. Do not choose other parts.
So in result you will get a combined SGP521 firmware - with NFC, 32Gb, SIM, so like fully working Marshmallow on japanese Xperia. This solution do not require any hacking, it's very easy.
This solution works for all other firmwares, for example if you want to obtain 5.1.1 Lollipop the only available version left is for Ireland (i forgot the number, will write later), there's nowhere else this verison, japanese are only 5.0, but to have a working NFC and 32Gb - you need to flash japanese 5.0 and flash again EU 5.1.1 (only system and kernel again) = you will get fully working 5.1.1 which is rarest on this device.
In addition to my reply:
the original Kitkat 4.4.2 17.1.1.C.1.45 can be upgraded by system & kernel of SGP521 model O2 IE 23.0.1.A.0.167 to Kitkat 4.4.4 (rare on this device)
the original japanese 23.1.G.2.151 Lollipop 5.0.2 by system and kernel of SGP521 model VMo LAM 23.4.A.1.232 to Lollipop 5.1.1 (rare on this device)
the SGP512 VMo US/CA/PR (Wi-fi 32 Gb) 23.5.A.1.291 with system and kernel SGP521 model Customized CE1 23.5.A.1.291 to sim/tethering functionality
excluding all parts of firmware except system and kernel, bootloader kept locked

As i know the last one official Android on locked Japanese Z2 tablets is only Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's the only way to update it to version 6, i used Windows 7 and much older flashtool like 0.9.20 - 0.9.23, the most last one version is something changed there it's crushing/not working, old one very stable.
Getting Nougat there (which will bring better battery and multitasking) on locked bootloader which Sony never unlock in Japan - only possible if someone repack old Nougat Developer Preview made for Xperia z3 smartphone i think (which is very good and stable on smartphone). I want to try that but for now stuck with hackintosh of tuning-up Mojave MacOS on my Toshiba Dynabook.
