I think we will probably get KITKAT!!! There are more chances of kitkat than 4.3 as AOSP sources of KIKAT have been alredy released by sony....
Come on brothers !!!! If Xperia M has got Android 4.3 it means our device will get 4.3 or higher(most likely) .
And remember Sony has us in AOSP project so KitKat sources are already ready , just wait till all Sony devices start getting 4.4 ,in that very timeline we will get ours, bcoz it doesn't make sense updating a mid-range device before flagships. (ZL, ZR,Zetc).
But also I don't think that you know , XM was updated before us so , even we may get ours before flagships

Firstly, the good news is there is an update coming for Xperia L which seems to be a bug fixing update. 15.3.a.1.1.6
It hopefully will be last try from the Sony to clear bugs from the current stock ROM.
Xperia M was announced in May2013 compared to March 2013 for Xperia L.
Usually a mid-range device receives updates for a year from Sony so it seems unlikely we might be pushed to 4.4.
If Xperia L KitKat was coming, they wouldn't release buggy premature source for Kitkat. The source code is always released after the ROM has been completed and is sent out to devices !
Doing that, they not only kept many people quite to show how friendly Sony is to developers but in the mean time, it bought them time so they can come up with an excuse later that 'a year of spupport' has been given!
I am sorry to disappoint you and I hope I am wrong, but a KitKat update seems very unlikely especially with their new devices being released so naturally they would be looking to discontinue support for many others!

KitKat is much better , and we r no kids with that mentality, and bro no one downgrades quality in an incremental update get ur brain right and if u know KitKat has new drivers so most problems get solved!!!

Talking about all this is waste of time!!! And be content as there is no big change from 4.2.2 so Sony doesn't probably want to waste development time for Android 4.3 , remember 4.2.2 UI was first seen on Xperia L , before SP , M ,V,T etc.
So we can even think a higher version is already in development
Sent from my C2104 using Tapatalk
Xperia L will get Android 4.4 Kitkat update directly..
In May 2014, Xperia Z series will get 4.4 update, after that Xperia SP and after that Xperia L..
Lol I don't think so. I doubt it'll be 4.3, just maybe 4.4 but I really can't say. Like Hnk1 said, it's '1 year period' is over. It would be surprising if there's another major update, but i wouldn't expect it. All I can ask for is that the '1.16' update clears out all the bugs for us.

Hi devs,
Today we have released a beta version of our new flash tool for Xperia devices. With this tool, you can flash standard Sony software on you Xperia™ smartphone with an unlocked boot loader. This is the first time we provide a way to go from a custom ROM to a Sony software, for those of you who would like that. Note that the boot loader still stays unlocked, and just like before the warranty may still be voided.
Since this is a beta version, only a limited number of phone models and software versions are supported to start with, but we plan to add support for more models going forward.
We are really eager to hear what you think about this initiative. Is this a useful service? And what phone models and software would you like to see support for in the future? Please share your opinion in this thread!
Read more on Developer World!
/Karl-Johan “Kalle” Dahlström
Sony Developer Program
A big and great step. hope other manufacturers learn something from this.
these are the reasons why I never bought a single phone other than Sony Ericsson, There was always a lot to mod/customize even in feature phones :good:
How to get this to work if you unlocked the Bootloader using Testpoint Method?

How is this different to the original Flashtool, SEUS or PC Companion? I'd much prefer to see Sony provide an easier way to root a stock ROM than another form of what's already available.
Sent from myushi
I don't own any Sony phone (read this on Swedroid) but it should be possible to get the bootloader locked again...
Wow thats cool....eventhough im using stock rom right now, but this tool can make me safe if anything gone pissoff on my custom rom... Now i can install other rom without worrying cannot get stock rom officialy back....waiting for my devices to be available soon

It looks like "flashtool" on XDA requires you to have a firmware package. This sony "flash tool" will download the firmware for you. (This is the disadvantage of using such generic software names. ) It looks kind of similar to Samsung Kies, except unlike Kies, it's specifically able to return a modified device to stock, whereas Kies becomes useless if the phone has had any changes made from stock firmware (even, in the case of the Infuse, if Samsung pulls an official update due to issue reports - anyone who accepted the pulled update was unable to update to the final version of Gingerbread for a LONG time.)
Not familiar with SEUS or PC Companion - are those officially released to the public, or just "internal" tools that have made their way out (like Samsung Odin)?
Stripped down Emma, very good.
However, the Developer World domain has old FWs. Hopefully that gets sorted soon!
Cool
wow.a very good step.hope you guys will add more device option. :good:
Why dont u work together with the original "Flashtool of xda"? They have made a really good and multiplatform tool since 2010, was originaly for the x10 and now is for almost all xperia devices, is a lot of effort and you come here and release almost the same thing. You should provide your server for them, dont take me wrong and please consider it.

SEUS is sony ericsson update service, now is called SUS (just sony) and PC Companion is the same thing but more featured, they are both official sony product released to public, SUS is just older but both online and working
The odin equivalent is EMMA, but is sony internal soft, no public acces chance ^^

...I suppose Sony on their own requires something new, but SEUS could have been renamed and tweaked a little to accommodate for custom ROMs already being installed.
Good news for our that have unlock sony device with official method...sony learn to understand what their customers want, and it's good.
But a stupid question: Why sony does not make available the opportunity to re-lock the bootloader and get back the DRM rights? I mean, if an user decides to return to the stock rom, maybe would also like his DRM rights back, to use fully (for example) walkman with download album art or Movie apps download info...etc...
This thing is not possible? Might be an idea for those who restores the original ROM and rights...
Nice Software i have test it with the sexplay and i have one question what fw is that what me EMMA show:

there are no informations.
A very nice initiative.......
Would love to see support for all 2011 phones as well....

Well, that was one way to downgrade the phone...
I didn't read the version numbers correctly in the tool. I assumed that I would automatically get the very latest available version for my Arc S. Instead I installed 2.3.4 (which Sony for some reason calls 4.0.2.A.62).
Am I just stupid or is this tool useless in this current beta version?

Ah, so it sounds like SUS and PC Companion are similar to Kies in that they might not work too well when trying to go "from" a modified software?

Cyanogenmod 10.2 releases with Android 4.3 at core.
Just today Cyanogenmod 10.2 is released which is based on Android 4.3 and it has come to 70 devices,but not Sony Xperia L ,will somebody tell me what the hell is this,such a nice and capable device ia not in Cyanogenmod supported devices. Even if not 10.2 , there is no cyanogenmod for Xperia L any version!! now this frustrates me. Please accelerate this request.
God dammit. Look at the Cyanogenmod thread for god sake !. We will have it... Just wait. Buy some coffee/tea and wait. FXP bought the device and we have to wait.

Good to hear that FXP will maintain this device.Btw where you read this?
And don't forget CM10.x = many custom roms,MiUi and why not Ubuntu Touch...
I have heard it on Xperia L group on Facebook. But Don't worry guys. CM will be there.
Ok Good!!!
Its good to hear that FXP is at work , and how old is the news? i.e. since when are they on work on this device?? Anybody??

It may take a few weeks/months.
Just give it some time, there are no wizards here.
I remember that I could enjoy CM 7 in my Xperia X8 and it was not needed to unlock the bootloader. I'm kinda down because now it's almost essential to have a unlocked bootloader to taste these ROMs but I can't unlock it in my XL. But I still have a little hope :fingers-crossed:
Man I contacted FXP they don't have Xperia L and are also not planning to buy and develop for one.
I am really sorry to say that.

Yeah I also think that, if 15.3.A.0.27 was going to be released as a bug fix then why it was skipped you know I mean another bug fix has to be released only if 0.27 had bugs, so why a new build was certified before 0.27 was released. And if they wanted to add features like all the Xperia phones e.g. Xperia Themes etc. they have to update to Android 4.3 as all the Xperias with Android 4.3 are only eligible for them.
So why a big update?
I also agree with that second digit change thing for Android version increments.
But I can't understand the above done thing by Sony.

It's on xperifirm. But you can't flash it with Flashtool as it seems it doesn't support Nougat yet.
They manage to get it by flashing a MM firmware of the same region where Nougat is released and received the update.

I don't think it's wrong on their part, you see the concept/beta of nougat were deployed on the X series devices only.
So it makes sense to release the stable one to the X Performance as it was already completed & bug free.
We should see the update to our devices in a few days, I'm certain.
I'm just happy they did not linger onto March this time for a Major android update, like in the past.
Congratulations Guys, Nougat update for the Xperia XZ Dual is here
