Everything works fine, Camera., Apps, Android os is 5.0.2 kernel 3.10.49, everything is smooth, but there is anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" all the time!? If I cant flash normal rom, is there any method to kill that message? Thanks..

I believe that sticker talks for itself and my advice would be not to be so open about this transaction.
In any case unless you have an EMMA account with relevant privileges you can't do much.
If you are lucky enough and Sony enables OTA updates for customer acceptance firmware applicable to the variant you have then at least you might get a firmware update in the future. But if you have as you say the crash handling app installed then probably you have an quite old FW which might not get any OTA.

Is there any way to instal new firmware without OTA? I think for z4 actual android official version is 5.11? If i kill process com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.system and com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.ui anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" is gone. Z4 is alredy long time on the market, so stickers now dont have much point anymore?

The last part is something you need to discuss with Sony but I don't believe a prototype unit on the loose is something they don't take seriously.
If I were you I'd ask the seller to take it back and refund you because as I wrote the only option for updates you have is either EMMA access with the proper permissions to download customer acceptance firmwares, someone with such access to give you the firmware or sony to enable OTA for customer acceptance firmware. The latter happens some times.
With the current firmware you have you can of course kill as you said some processes to get rid of the crash monitor app and notifications but there are still other debug bits enabled. If the firmware has root access enabled - there are such debug firmwares and you can check that from adb shell with su - you can clean it up a bit more.
That is all I can provide as info.

Solution is very simple. I download latest firmware 28.0.A.8.260 with XperiFirm and flash with flashtool and everything works perfect! No anoying messages anymore, nothing..

Prototypes have a different bootloader so you can't flash retail firmware on it and vice versa.
Up to Z3 tablet this was valid also for tablets, if they changed that in Z4 then you are lucky.

Hey bro, what do you exactly want? Your image is not appearing, try re-uploading it. And if you are asking how to unbrick the phone, then just flash a stock ROM using the flashtool by connecting the phone in fastboot mode. Or if you are asking how to install the update, then you will have to download the FTF and flash it using flashtool. But then you will loose root access. No worries, root it again using the root toolkit bu DoomLord, it's available in the development section. Or if you mean to say something else, feel free to reply.

You are mistaken. The update is of huge 650MB. But I upgraded to it from ICS. So maybe if you are on JB you will find this a short update.
The update have minor bug fixes and the phone is less laggy now. The dialer scroll issue is gone. But there's a problem with the camera app now. Sometimes green and black lines come on to the screen while clicking the photo. Although they don't appear on the photo. I am facing GPS and network issues also. But they are not being experienced by everyone. Feel free to update because you can always flash the old ROM.

Nice. I'm assuming you have the unlock version. Still waiting on my TMobile variant
Nope, I'm locked/branded.

Now i'm on my pc, i can see your signature. looks like your version of the phone has a lot options in stock recovery than the one i'm seeing. I have the tmobile variant (also know as Tmobile Revvl 5g) in US, the recovery is stripped down more. Hopefully Tmobile would push out the update.
Anyway you could provide the files for this ota or pull it somehow?

I've not installed it yet and was mulling over doing just that.
Suggestions? I assume it's retrieved by a system app so for the most part out of reach.

Thank you for posting I just downloaded to look around the zip file. Has anyone here figured out how to correctly extract the OTA Firmware boot.img from boot.img.p file and try to patch with Magisk? 7z opens the boot.img.p as an archive. When running the file in magisk it does not recognize it.

Good question, it might be possible.
Issues I've had with 11:
- YT Music sometimes thinks its offline, only started when I installed 11 and its definitely not offline.
Another bodge I've had to do is disable absolute volume due to a BT speaker but thats the speakers fault (lowest gain is too high).
OTA released, Jan 2021 to May 2021 PL.
Received the OTA for Android 11 this morning (T-Mobile Revvl 5G variant)
Also received this OTA on both of my Revvl 5G devices. Getting the gut feeling it might shave an hour of SOT off, but didn't have enough time with 10 to properly compare (the OTA auto-installed). Didn't note any major differences/issues with the update otherwise.
To update. Compared against the 6B6XUMX1 that the device shipped with, the Android 11 OTA drained 10% overnight and reduced SOT a measured 2h. This is with a fresh wipe and minimal app reinstall. I'd avoid for now.

T790W (T-Mobile Revvl 5G) OTA

Captured the OTA today, just a security update.

Without the bootloader unlock, I dont think there is a way. Each day looks like less and less of this phone getting custom support. Going to use it for couple years and bounce to a new phone.
Well i can get the phone into EDL mode or download mode. And fastbootd just domt kno what commands and domt have a firehose but apparently you can flash without firehose im edl not sure how tho

Android 11 Update for SM-T725 - S5e LTE - Firmware download

Hi guys.
DOWNLOAD LINK
MultCloud | Best Free Multiple Cloud Storage Manager
new.multcloud.com
This is the UK Version of the Android 11 ROM
Have successfully flashed to a my Australian one without issue and retained the unlocked bootloader
I paid a months subscription for SamMobile to get the new OneUI 3.1/Android 11 firmware - I'm running lineage 18.1 but I really miss the Atmos DSP, and HD Netflix, so am going back to stock.
It's a real pain getting Samsung firmware so as soon as it's finished downloading, I'll reupload somewhere, so anyone who wants/needs it can get it easily.

Only preference is please help us to keep XDA neat by not duplicating thread, this is against the rules. Thanks
Uploading now
Will see if I can't brick my device reverting to a stock, different region rom.... (I don't use the LTE functionality so I assume less potential issues)
Well, everything seems ok so far (it's nice being able to use the fingerprint scanner again!) and the bootloader remains unlocked
Got about 1GB left to upload
Updated OP with download link
Thanks mate, updating mine today
You can also download with Samsung Firmware Downloader. Github repo zacharee/SamloaderKotlin. It has a little more than Frija and is cross-platform Windows, Linux and Android. Has anyone heard or seen anything about T720 wi-fi version getting update ?

You have to update via newflasher + xperifirm but ota won't work no
So we should expect this in some 2 weeks, that was some avg time between 72 and 54 updates so far
It's currently rolling out
I can confirm that. My device got upgraded about 15 minutes ago.
I got it too. The beggist change is Material you design. They redesign walpaper picker and they add manual color pallet from walpaper colors and themed icons.
I like Press to unlock with fingerprint option. No more accidental fingeprint unlock try in packet.

Any video preview of it ?
Updated this morning. October security patch. Took about 30 minutes to update. Sony need to speed things up.
europe customization is out on xperifirm too but i can't find any new sw update.
Here i found some official info about what we can get with the new 13 android:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00283183
It seems like with the 13 Sony bringing material ui if im not wrong, or at least wider customization...
Some screenshots or a video will be appriciated.
Seems only XQ-CT54 EU version got the update so far. remaining versions and regions nothing yet ..
I'm on EU variant. I got the update early this morning. But on xperirm was present already since yesterday.

what program did you use to flash the SEA version? I messed around around with Flashtool and needed to make FTF file, but the info to make FTF file is clear as mud, I was rooted and wiped my device and relock the bootloader and was hoping to get Android 13 on it.

You dont need to unlock bootloader for flashing official firmware. I just download Xperiafirm here to get the firmware then flash through new flasher. Dont use official Flashtool
