Ok, so after waiting a couple of weeks for an update from Bell since Sony released the firmware, I've decided to take the updating process into my own hands. Coming from a Nexus 4, waiting for updates is something that kind of frustrates me, so here is my questions:
I understand that the model bell has is the c6806. Now, will I run into problems trying to flash the stock Sony firmware from Bell's bloatwared up edition? Also, do I need a custom recovery, or can I keep stock? I really don't want to unlock my bootloader because it's taken me ages to download all the software and files I wanted... unless I do a backup, I suppose.

I also have a Z ultra from Bell and I updated manually following these instructions without issue. Just download the FTF from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921. Pick model C6806 GENERIC US.
Then follow these instructions to flash using "Flashtools" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
You don't need to download the XZU device folder because it's already incliuded in the new installation.
You don't need to unlock bootloader since it's from Sony but you won't be able to root your device and you will lost all your data. Except if you uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtools software, be it may decrease stability.
Hope this help.

OMG WAIT DON'T UPGRADE YET. I need your FTF files, because I want to downgrade to 4.2.2, I need root for everything, like my PS3 Controller for touch emulation, to get rid of the navigation bar etc etc.
So please can you extract your FTF files from your Bell Device and send it to me !!!! PLEASE !!!!!

Forget about what I said, I fixed it and BTW I just received the .290 via OTA, so you should have it now !!

Did you tried to keep root with supersu survival mode? And if so, did it work?
After hearing fo all the problems the .290 update brings (seemingly,) I think I will wait for kitkat. 4.3 jellybean isn't enough of an upgrade to justify the issues it will bring, or to lose root. KitKat definitely will be, though.
OTA failed lol

Meh, I tried but OTA failed installing each time. It fails at the begin of the install, phone reboots and tells me that it could not install the update. Probably because I have Dual Recovery and I debloated the rom ...... Oh well ... loll I'll probably try a factory reset and try the OTA again. I mean I have a nand backup anyway
I'll keep you posted

Ok I tried a factory reset and it didn't work either, the progress bar reach near middle than it reboots. I bought the app for OTA survival but can't test it cauz I can't OTA ..... still trying to figure it out.

Does your revision number and product id still matches with your CDMA? With the OTA before mine update failed, but when i matched the product id and revision number OTA suceeded.

.532?
That OTA is for .257 then. That is 4.2 Not 4.3.
You could find it in BASKOU his CDMA thread. But really doesn't matter which CDMA you use. As long it is matching. The excellent guide from Lord can also help you further. You should defenitly have a look overthere.
Hum I'm positive that it's 4.3 take a look. I'm gonna take a look at his thread thanks

Yeah, that's 4.3 Surpises me that you can update straight from 4.1 to 4.3. But thinking it over, it makes sense.

Oddly enough, I have yet to get the ota for 4.3. Been checking multiple times a day. Hopefully I don't run into issues, since I did root/ Detroit.
I received the ota because my cda product Id was changed when I flashed the Us retail. 532 so that's why you didn't receive it the build.prop you send me wasn't the same as what I had.

OTA is live, I however failed to update mine. Guessing it has to do with me debloating :/ Anyone know of a workaround?

You got TWRP on your Canadian S6 Edge? I can't seem to get it to work, it just goes to a black screen for me...

i'm going to go out on a limb here and say its the same phone as the metro pcs(ms330), and tmobile version, we just today got a recovery that can actually be booted from the hardware buttons, so at the moment no, there are 3 or so people that said they were going to port cm 13 and one of them bricked his phone(before twrp could be reached without adb) so there might be luck in the future just not now.

It's almost guaranteed we will get a stock B27 recovery image. I do not see them dumping MiFavor, not even with N.
Question is what kind of recovery method will they use (DFU/EDL flasher or just full zip) and can we generated custom "MiFavor" from them

I am so ready. I have been holding off on unlocking, installing recovery and root until something worth while shook loose. Let's do this!
UnBrick tool will be good. I'm waiting for it. I hope that they release soon.
Would be great if it's something with bootloader unlock
Hopefully it's stock images so I can finally root my phone free of worry.

as long as they don't make you sign away our warranty for the bootloader unlock and stock image use, else I'll have to do it the old way and keep my warranty under US law.
Nothing for EU still. Looks like EU won't get an official unlock...
Sadly this has nothing to do with the EU model whatsoever.
Very sad to see the EU model just 'ignored' and forgotten in terms of bootloader unlock and updates.

I'm guessing since they say that's in final testing and next update is almost ready to roll out, I'd more guess it will be with whatever that build is. But it will definitely just be a stock image, not AOSP.

The EU model has had just as many updates as the US one at this point. US got B18->B20->B27. EU has gotten B02->B03->B05.
Bootloader is slightly different, but the US model currently doesn't have support for that either, as they pulled it to rework it.
Where the US is definitely better is in communication from the respective ZTE branch.
