I have an xperia z ultra I bought off of a friend. It hasn't received the lollipop update. How do I tell if it is the gpe and if it will get lollipop? Its model number is C6806, and its software ID is C6806 R4C. It is running 4.4.4 and its software version is 14.4.A.0.108. It is carrier unlocked, and I'm currently running it on T-Mobile. Let me know if you need any more info.

It's not a GPe, it's the original US LTE model - Sony have said that the Z series will get LP in the new year
HTH
Ok thanks. Also, kinda unrelated, but is there a way to get the remote play feature working in the z ultra?

im a going to flash the "Xperia Z Ultra XL39h official firmware 4.2.2 International: 14.1.b.0.471_global" and hopefully that will have an english bootloader.

this thread is for android development. ROM's/ Kernel/ system... Members go to the Q&A section to specifically help others.. So next time go to the question and answer thread... you'll get more help... :good:
If you Ultra is branded or locked to a carrier then you wont be able to update using flashtool. (unless its specifically for your carrier based unit)
You will have to wait for your carrier to push the update directly to its customers.
I also live in the Netherlands. My ultra is not carrier based. At the moment using Vodafone in the past Telfort. But i also didn't received the update yet. I assume countrys like the Netherlands and Belgium are on the bottom of the list.
I never saw anybody else with an ultra overhere, and getting out of the reactions when i'm using the device otber people also saw this phone before
Making the phone carrier free isn't that big of a deal, i think. When lurking the forums at xda you'll find a method i assume. You can looking in the general android part of the forum (interesting stuff overthere), the sony xperia Z and Z1 forums can also be beneficial.
Hello,
I bought the Z2 as an unlocked phone and I use it on a carrier that doesn't sell or acknowledge the sony phones. (I Live in Canada, the only carrier that stocks sony is Bell and I use Koodo)
Now my question is,
Will I be able to update my Z2 to 4.4.4 through the software updater on my phone or do I have to do it manually by downloading and putting it on my phone. (Don't know how to do that so I prefer not to have to).
Thank-You for the help.
Hi guys,
I have been reading forum couple days and still don't have clear understanding of situation with firmware for Z2 tablet.
I have Z2 SGP561 (locked to Verizon) and stuck with 4.4.2 (no root) and want to upgrade it to 5.1 or 6.0.1 + root
There is very good article that describes how to flash ANY firmware build for ANY Sony Xperia device
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/
But it doesn't describe what will happen with device if I flash firmware from another model.
Can anyone explain - will I brick my SGP561 if I flash it using FTF for SGP521 (Network: GLOBAL-LTE, Version: 23.5.A.1.291 / R3D)
for example from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/ftf-vmo-ru-ua-kz-t3433098/
What will be result? Device will loose radio module? or loose some radio bands?
or FTF doesn't touch radio and I will latest available android with no issues?
Thanks.
It should not flash as your SGP561 is a Verizon only Model. I have the SGP521 that is the unlocked world model. Verizon likes to lock down devices and I don't know if that model has the bands for other phone carriers. (The firmware for the SGP521 is going to change the band menu to look for this) you may no longer get a signal and the 521 has phone calling support that I know Verizon blocks. I would search the forums to see if a update for Verizon is around as it is never a good idea to try and mix device firmware.
I just bought a new Moto Z from amazon europe and it came with android 6.0.1 and August 2016 security patch.
When I try to find system updates it says that the software on my device is up to date.
I'm sure that the 7.1.1 nougat update for Moto Z is a real thing by now. Why can't my phone find it?
I was not able to put a sim card yet, but I have it connected to my wifi network.
The software channel is RETEU.
Thank you!

You need to insert a simcard. Then the updates should pop up.
