They updated your phone before it was sent. The ultra is aging device. They came out around the jellybean days. My brand new ultra came with 4.3.
Go into settings then like 3or4 lines down tap "more". You will see from there. I think

Yes that is why back in January mine was on kitkat already
Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program. Except when I tried to do so, I got the error "UEGetPhoneInfoFailure" when I had to hold volume down and plug it I to the PC. I got the phone from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/142324022634

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Thank for the tip! I got the software and all, now I'm just wondering about which firmware to download. my CDA is showing to be 1298-5153 and i only found it under E5803 showing as customized Saudi Arabia , but my phone is E5823. Do i have to download the same CDA or can i just download 1298-7260 (customized Australia)?

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
Neither of the two links work for me.

Root access helps to read LCM&Touchscreen's infos.
It was able read it without root acces in my old mate 20 p
Edit: please erase this post
Might be hard to get into on the LCD as its OLED
I was able.to get info from that app a week ago for a friend of mine

I decided to download the Android 10 Beta for Galaxy S9+ (even though I'm not part of the beta..) I did spot something interesting though. There's an OEM Unlocking Toggle on here. Anyone know why this could happen?

well, its a development release, so an unlockable bootloader isnt surprising, however all the folks i saw commenting about their beta never mentioned unlocking the bootloader. One would think that they would have been blasting it out full force if that was the case

Got my S23 Ultra yesterday and what i noticed is that the developer options were already visible. Usually you have to do that by tapping the build number.
Anyone else experienced this?
I personally had to enable mine the usual way.
Did you happen to restore from a backup when you set up your phone?
I had to enable it as well.
