This is for Xperia users who haven't received the marshmallow update yet.
1. Install the PC Companion Software
2 Check for updates
3. If no updates are found, backup your data and do a software repair
This method worked for my Xperia M4 Aqua (E2333)
P.S Prior to performing a software repair, install Xperiafirm software and see whether an update is released to your phone by matching the CDA number.
This does not work. Please do not do this, it will save you hours of waiting.
Instead use flashtool, method here
Worked for my E2353 model
This worked here in Australia.

Hello M4 users,
Today a new global update rolled out for M4 Aqua and M4 Aqua Dual. Was hoping it would be the Marshmallow update but sad news is it's just minor update. Though I have not found the update, it still shows my device is up to date. Hope the update will be available soon in my region. Is there anyone updated yours?? Can you please provide feedback regarding the update? Thanks.

Sony Mobile has released a new firmware update for the Xperia M4 Aqua today, but before you get too excited, this is only a small update on Android 5.0 Lollipop. No Marshmallow for Xperia M4 Aqua owners just yet.
This is a global update and is live across all variants of the Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303, E2353, E2306) and Xperia M4 Aqua Dual (E2312, E2333, E2363). The single SIM variants have been updated to build number 26.1.A.3.111 (from 26.1.A.2.167), whilst the dual SIM variants have been updated to version 26.1.B.3.109 (from 26.1.B.2.147). Feel free to post your impressions once you’ve updated. In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted once the big Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware starts to roll.
Anyone updated yet ????? need to know about it...:fingers-crossed:
Updating now using PC Companion
What's new in it anyone know?
Avilable on nordic firmware?

Has anyone in the UK received this update yet?
E2353 and E2363 are still waiting for the update! No confirmation when this two device get the update. It feels really horrible when everyone is getting the update I have to wait more for the update. Possible answer found why this two devices have to wait more for the update..

Why do I think your numbers is wrong. I see that you missed something out of numbers? Numbers should be eight digit, like XXXX-XXXX for example.
Your numbers maybe is 1293-7740, Saudi Arabia.
The update on Android 6.0.1 with compilation 26.3.B.0.131 is available and should have received it.
Via computer or over your phone check for updates?

Yes ! you are correct that's the correct number.I'am sorry I have made a mistake.
The CDA is correct but the build number is wrong as the Saudi Arabia one ends with R6C where as my no. ends with R6A.
Will it be compatible with mine?
I can send you a screenshot of my service menu if you give me your email address
BTW I'am really grateful to you!
@Thisura, That your current software ends with other initials, does not mean that the new can not be with others initials. This shows the new revision of software so that it is not a problem.
I asked if and how you try to update? Via PC or over the phone. Still no notice of the update is available if you attach your phone to the computer with Pc Companion program?

Hi!,
Before flashing using the Xperifirm, I just did a software repair on the PC Companion and voila! the Marshmallow update was installed on it without the lollipop one!
Again,many thanks for your response and I think the users who haven't received the Marshmallow just try this method i'am sure it will work for you as well!
hello i am seeing everyone here got their m4 aqua upgraded to android 6.0, although when i go to software update on my
m4, it says it already has the most recent update. and i only have android lollipop 5.0.
Is there a way to upgrade it to 6.0 without voiding my warranty?

can you give me a tutorial or something? i'm not sure how to do this.
also won't this void my warranty?
Hello,
The official update is only available through Xperia Companion.
Alternatively, you can update the unofficial way by flashing through flashtool.
So just to make things clear: a computer is required to update your phone.
Concerning the warranty: you won't void it unless you unlock your bootloader (and flashing an official firmware, even from an unofficial tool like flashtool does not require to unlock it).
I would advise you to go the official way (update with Xperia Companion).
Regards

the problem is that it says i already have the most recent android system on sony app.
also i don't know how to upgrade this
go to xpericheck.com and search your device. the latest is 26.3.A.1.33, if your device listed there with the latest software i think you should flash it using flashtool. and if you wish to upgrade using official method, try to factory reset your phone and try again using xperia companion.
Extra! look at Diagnostics. if there any information about Software Update available, you can use your xperia companion. and sorry for my bad english. good luck
The update comes via OTA and if you already have a Stock ROM running on Sony Xperia XA (F3111, F3113, F3115 single SIM models, as well as the F3112, F3116 dual SIM variants) then you can update your phone using this new update to 33.3.A.0.131 Nougat update.
The update has already started rolling out via OTA for some region and you may receive the update anytime soon on your phone.
Use Xpeira Companion and check for update if your phone keeps showing up to date in about phone --> software update
Dude we had Nogat on XA for like 3 or 2 months
flashtool prob
hello, new to xda sorry if any mistakes
tried updating 'xperia xa dual f3116' to nougat using 'flashtool-0.9.24.2-win' but it says "drivers need to be installed for connected device".
phone already has TWRP installed and it says 'no os found' hence xperia companion isn't detecting phone on pc.
i am totally stuck. phone don't boot beyond sony logo.
i have been searching google from last five days for drivers, but everything i found gives me following error on flashtool - "phone connected in fastboot mode but drivers are too old".

I purchased an Xperia XZ1 in May, 2018. After use of couple of days, i noticed that i am unable to get latest updates (even my android security patch is of August 5, 2017 which should be of May/June'18 as per official XZ1 updates). Thereafter, I enquired on official Sony Mobile forum where i got to know that my unit is not a retail unit but meant for "commercial and journalism" purpose . Now after gathering such knowledge which is still not confirmed and i am worried about future updates, could anyone here help me regarding this issue so that I would get the official updates on my phone which is still showing that my phone has the latest software.

You should be able to flash the latest through flashtool if it does not help to connect it to Sony companion
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Actually, I first tried PC Companion and it is showing that my phone has the latest software. Same is shown in the phone's System Update. What to do now...

Model No. is G8342 and the Bootloader is locked.
Could you please guide me through the whole process of flashing the right firmware as I am new to all this and I think I have to do this.
Happened with me too, apparently some sellers online/local markets are selling storefront/demo devices after repackaging them and these do not get updates from sony officially but function fine, to confirm this you can check customization version of your phone and match it at https://xpericheck.com/device/G8342
If it's 1309-7037 (Commercial and Journalists) or 1311-2293 (StoreFront) then it is definitely demo unit :/
To check customization version:
Open the dialer
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* and press dial
Tap on Service info
Tap on Software info
Look for Customization Version
I'd suggest to try returning device if possible..

Its the Commercial & Journalists' unit. Im afraid returning the device is not possibe now. I just want to confirm if I flash any other stock rom, would that make my phone have latest official updates as and when available?
Kindly my phone was the same when i have got it last month but I have flashed the mea ftf file through Xperia flashtool and now I am getting new update which is not shown at any website yet I think it is july security patch.
Update: New software version 47.1.A.12.235 now installed with july security patch.
