Until confirmed by Sony, just a rumor.
He seems very confident with his source, and the site does not look like it is run by a kid. I don't want to hope too much, though.

"I have just heard from my source that 4.3 is coming to the Xperia L, in fact definitely coming to Xperia L.
My source is very reliable".
And that my friends is how rumors start!

Some people prefer original firmware or have a locked bootloader.

Remember that phones which can't get their bootloader unlocked are stuck with stock for pretty much forever.

I think you are way too optimistic. I was quite surprised that it officially got 4.1.2, I really can't see it getting an official 4.3 release, but I was wrong before so take that with a grain of salt. Having said that, I'm already running 4.3 on mine...

Yeah I've just rooted sooooo many phones and when I went back to this one, I just lost that loving feeling of rooting or just lazy ya know but again I know there are so many reasons to do it just have to get my laptop back and thanks for response

We won't see 4.2 let alone 4.3. For either of those android versions aosp is your only hope
This is a legacy device, no chance will Samsung or the carriers release any future official updates for the phone. They want you to upgrade and buy the latest hardware to get that type of support.

Please read some information before you post. I have unbranded UK Generic Xperia L and I can unlock bootloader.
Some people in Poland who are with Orange cannot but with other operators they can. Before you buy some phone make a research.

Why ? Because you can't have a stupid CWM on LB... You can install C'n'T on locked bootloader.
C'mon guys, sell your xl's and blame Sony for something he didn't do. Great idea.

We already knew there are bugs with Android 5.0. Will the update we get has the same bugs as well? I wish phone manufacturers could squash the bugs before the release.

Well. UK S5 users just got the update. It's normal 5.0, not 5.0.2. Hopefully that means a release soon in the US? Either way, from the sounds of it, it is a pretty good update for the phone.
LP
Either way they are taking years -_- LP now pl0x. Didn't verizon use to do soak tests? or was that only Moto devices?
If it has the memory leak problem, I'll wait. You guys can let me know before I update
I won't be updating until we know if we can flash a rooted ROM in SafeStrap and then the firmware and kernel to keep root. If we can't, then I may not upgrade. But we will see.
Hopefully someone can port to i9505

I believe you need the source code. You have to wait for the final release that Google makes available, the most you can do is a dump and catch the apk's

Should be very likely.
There were ports of ICS and Kitkat for my old LG P350 device. Why wouldn't there be ports for M. The S4 should run it just fine.
I would be satisfied if s4 gets all L updates cause android M wont be released almost 100% for s4...or maxbe samsung has some other thoughts [emoji14]
After I saw that Google released the source code, just do not know if it is 100% platform ....It would be nice at least be able to use part of the optimization of ART and battery (doze project). I'm using the GearCM (optimized version of CyanogenMod) for i9500 ... is that changing the manifest can do a partial port?
I might try build it, see what the crack is.

He is talking about official manufacturer release.
Generally, after 18 months the manufacturer drops update development for a phone. It's been 2 years since the S4 released. Samsung already has 2 devices on which they have to work + their next flag ship.
I doubt they are going to spend more time on our 2 year old device.
We will surely get AOSP versions of M but official samsung version might be unlikely.

I'm pretty sure there won't be any official Touchwiz M for the S4 and considering the fact that 5.1 isn't even out for the google play edition S4... i'm pretty sure the GPE model will not see M either.
Yeah probably s4 stops at L,s5 will probably get M too.
Android 'Biggest update ever' failed badly, now Google should get serious about the quality of updates.
we need the Camera API 2.0 by Samsung, so we will use a perfect version of the next cm13 rom!!! i really hate the bad quality of camera apps in CM 12.1 !!!!!!

The existenz thread contains the needed firmware version
And exactly this need to get flashed
.672 has no working twrp atm
but the previous firmware has
So if existence may want the .672, then you may need to wait for the next twrp update
anyone have firmware xz2dual H8266 52.1.A.0.618 ftf zip or tar.gz
