Android 6 Marshmallow for M4 - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

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.

Check this out
That is great news !!!

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.

Can someone explain please :)

I was going through http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21034
and found that Sony has certified a new update for Xperia P a day ago. the thing is there are two previously certified updates that are not yet released, can someone please tell me how the update strategy works with Sony
Different update builds are for different regions. Sometimes they also need to re-certify something because they left in a bug or for whatever other reason. Not all updates that are certified are released ever, and getting a PTCRB certification is only one part of the release process.

Thanks, this gives me a clue on what is going on. When they certify any update with the code: 6.1.x.x.x.x it means it's an ICS update?! and once the code is changed to: 6.2.x.x.x.x it will mean it's a new version of Android?! And the letters in the code refers to different Xperia Devices

[Q] Honor/Mediapad X1 - Android 5 Lollipop

Hi,
Do you have any info about Android 5.0 (Lollipop) for our Honor/Mediapad X1 ?
I kinda would also love to know about Huawei updates, in my case for MediaPad M1. But wer are dealing with Huawei here (my first Android device ever was U8880...) and the X1 been only out since april 2014 and M1 since may 2014, making these devices barely 6 months old, i think tho, if we are not seeing official updates once the devices are ~1 year old, we aint gettin anything. As of now, my device has the stock firmware, that's Android 4.2.2 with EMUI 2.0 and not a single update available, at this point, even update to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 with EMUI 2.3 or 3 would be friggin marvelous.

99% a hoax.
Few things gave it away:
1) It claimed to be from xda-developers, now I don't see any lollipop rom for X1 here, do u?
2) I don't think any rom for lollipop will be as small as 128MB, and in these days, I don't think any uploader will be splitting a 128MB file into 3 parts, unless ..
3) .. all he/she wants is for the potential downloader to complete as many surveys as possible! Any download that require one to complete a survey beforehand is usually shady.
Proceed with caution if you still wish to find out for yourself.

Please note that sometime ago Huawei declared a list of devices that would get Lollipop update. Mediapad X1 was not listed. So don't expect any upgrade to Lollipop for our device from the manufacturer.
August is promising
Huawei official, moderator of X1 community on the chinese EMUI website
He said they will start development on August to finish bu the end of September
Hope they finish it fast :good:

Dear even if Huawei provide lollipop rom upgrade to x1, it is not going to make any difference. Have you watched videos of x2? There is no difference in the UI of X1 with Kitkat or X2 with Lollipop, as both have EMUI 3.x. IMHO the real joy of having Lollipop is with the stock experience and with tweaks added from CM.

[Q] rom lollipop for ZTE

friends, no lollipop rom 5.0 for ZTE with screen 5 "?
I need it
Not yet.
I see this link.. http://www.rom-lollipop.org/mp3-0/zte-nubia-z7-mini-6492.html
not sure if anyone has tried it yet.
It's fake! Do not install it. You can brick your phone!
apologies, yes after looking at the rest of the site I realized it seems fake.
ZTE has announced Lollipop for the Z7 Max (not sure about the mini, haven't checked). A beta rom is available in the official nubia forums.
I have been buying phones from China for the last 10 years and I have to say this is the most regularly updated phone I have ever had. My expectations from all previous phones is to ensure it is running the latest code when purchasing it because you will never see any updates for it. So it would be no surprise to me that Nubia would release 5.0 for all its models. Will definitely be buying another Nubia when its time to update.
Lollipop 5.0
Use Google translate...

No lollipop yet except for beta testing, but a new update is available for Z7 Max, ver. 1.59.

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.

People report that there is no adoptable storage I will edit this when my update finishes downloading and installing currently at 50%

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?
Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk
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).

No android N would be release for m4 aqua

No Android N would be releasing for this m4 aqua...

This is not an official statement from Sony but i kinda figured M4 aqua would not get Nougat. Worst phone ever. I am now running Nougat on my Moto G from 2013. But not this more expensive and newer Sony...on the other hand the Sony now has MM and it does not run very badly.
Stop making sh*tposts please, Sony doesn't said an official statement.

It's not a sh*tpost? Man, is not the official Sony page or a page like Android Authority, Android Police or a recognized Android news page, is another irrelevant news page of the Internet. Anyone can make an image where there is supposed dates of updates, like the last image of the supposed date of the release of Marshmallow and we have the update 2 or 3 months after of the "official release date"
we don't need official Nougat update
I hope we can get a method to root our Xperia M4 aqua without unlocking boot loader, most of our problems will disappear if that were to happen btw Sony is definitely going to issue the last update (performance only) to iron out most issues that have arisen due to the latest Marshmallow update... so cheer up
So now, XDA become a gossip forum... ?
You guys, like old lady envy greedy
Well there's a difference between gossip n Discussion..
