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

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.

Same source but translated, sir
Release dates for Android 5.1 + EMUI 3.1 for X1:
- August the 15th 2015, for dev. version
-End of september 2015, for stable version
source: http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-4628590-1-1.html
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.

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
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/?rl=gb
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.
Now that we know that the Xperia Z2 isnt recieving Nougat, I wanted it to know everyones decision on whether to stay with their Z2 on marshmallow or to upgrade. Im personally thinking of upgrading to Z5P at some point as i cannot unlock my bootloader eventhough the sim has been unlocked.
So im wondering if everyone else was thinking of doing the same thing or just to stick with marshmallow. Is the Z2 still worth keeping or is it time for an upgrade?
Nougat Xperia List: http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-coming-to-a-ton-of-sony-devices/
I'm seriously thinking about a Note 7. Damn phone has a range of very cool accessories. Sony is stuck.
The most likely reason the Z2 and Z3 series won't get an official update to 7.0 is that to receive a Google certification so OEMs can bundle Google apps with their updates, the phone needs to support Vulkan OR OpenGL 3.1.
Sitic on Reddit explains it well.
So we can build from AOSP, but Sony can't officially update the Z2 and Z3. That's why the Nexus 5 didn't get an official update from Google. That does mean we will likely never get a stable AOSP build with cameras and RIL working properly, like the case with 6.0 AOSP.
I will leave Android, and I will wait for iPhone 7
I love SONY and I dont see a point to move to another device, as there are plenty of custom roms for our device and xposed modules concerning Android N like N-ify is there to port Android N features to older devices. I think I wont move on to another Xperia device until my Z2 has hardware failure.
They should let us unlock our bootloaders now. I can't (****ty carrier locked phone) so I'm stuck with sony roms

Like I said i've already done that. I've no branding, flashed a stock french ftf a while back. But that's not my issue. My bootloader is still locked, the carrier it was sold on stop people from unlocking bootloaders, they set the flag" bootloader unlock allowed" as "no". So I can't flash roms.

I'm in the same boat, my z2 has the bootloader permanently locked by my operator. No more updates from sony and no custom rom support so i'll probably change to another device before the end of the year.
Unfortunately i don't like any of the latest sony devices so i'll probably get the next nexus or a zte axon 7.
I've learned my lesson, i'll never buy a device from a carrier or with an unlockable bootloader again.

I know how it feels it was the same for my Xperia play which had that damn bootloader unlock no its stupid in my opinion it shouldnt exist its rather damn anoying leaving me to upgrade to Xperia z as my play wasnt recieving ics at the time. I think ill keep my z2 and wait till theres a new Xperia. My z also had the same issue but when I "accidentally" got it damaged by water it was replace as Sony made it worse when running water tests on it as i presume further and luckily allowing me to unlock the bootloader. Im also wondering if Sony can do some magic with the bootload unlock no. I read that they can but its an unauthorised unlock so they wont do it.

Although Z2 has been going through lots of major updates, but it is still not the King of Updates from Sony.
The King is the original Z series, which is from init. Android 4.1 to 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0 and final 5.1.1. I have always been proud of having one of the original Z series device in my life:victory:
Well its true, Z2 went through a lot of software updates and its has exceeded the usual 2 year update period.
In my opinion this device was legendary when it came out, the feature set and specs are still top notch.
Ive been using it for almost 2 years and i think im going to switch to a LG G5 by the end of september,
because it offers a lot of upgrades over this phone and has the most reasonable price tag between the flagships.

You need a custom kernel with recovery ( in .img ), and the AOSP rom ( in .zip or .img ).
If rom is in .zip format…
1. Load the zip onto your phone storage ( internal or external ).
2. Flash the custom kernel ( aka. boot image )( usually achieved by extracting from rom.zip ) in flashtool via fastboot mode.
3. Boot into recovery and flah zip.
4. Done.
If rom is in .img fornat…
1. Flash boot.img and system.img ACCORDINGLY in fastboot mode.
2. Done.

Compared with Samsungs support and update strategy Sony is the worlds no.1, i own a XPlay ( active ), Arc S, Z ( active ), Z1, Z2 ( active ), Z3, and my next phone will be the X. For daily use the Z ( C6603 ) has more than enough power, after 4 years. All my Sonys running Lollipop ( Stock/CM ), and i suggest to stay with your Z2 with a modified/cleaned stock Lollipop fw.
Offtopic: Samsungs S3 came together with the Z, Samsung stopped support with JB 4.3, terrible.

I think that I read on the first thread about the helio x10 source code that we can use NFNH kernel for both MM and N but as you can see, the kernel has a lot of bugs that I am sure they are going to be fixed. If NFNH fixes all the bugs in his kernel, we will have a Nougat rom. But I don't really care, as I am buying RN3Pro(Kenzo)in a month.

I gave you and advise about that in your other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69805050&postcount=5
I think that Xiaomi doesn't ever update the android version for its MTK devices.
If you did take care about reading something about this devices before buying it, you should know that people are asking for marshmallow since long time on the official forum, but no one got an answer.
And now you are asking for nougat?

Sorry if I've been tough, I can understand what you are saying.
From what I can understand you bought your phone in your country; I think that you should have bought from a (good) chinese reseller, I think that the price are lower so with the same budget you can get a better device.
I bought a Mi5S from China at about the price I could buy a Xperia XA in my country.

There is no problem with MediaTek processors, there is a problem with MediaTek software.
I own four devices with MTK SOC and just 1 got an android version update, just because it was a quite new SOC.
Helio X10 is now old and MTK doesn't care to release new updates for it, and even if they released sw to build Marshmallow based ROM(*), Xiaomi just doesn't care to update it.
AFAIK Xiaomi never bumped the android version on its MTK based devices.
(*) from what I know, LeEco released a Marshmallow based ROM for a device using X10
EDIT:
If you want to try, there are some marshmallow ROM on needrom.
They are not fully working because the lack of drivers for some components, read notes, know bugs and comments from other people.
If you think you can live with their bug you could give it a try, but I suggest you to take a backup using TWRP.
