Hello all,
As brand new user of Xperia E3 I would like to ask you if you know about any source of Android 4.1-4.3 for Xperia E3. Is it possible to download that version (especially 4.3) at this moment? Xperia E3 it's quite new model (placed on the market in Q3 2014) and therefore (after reviewing of a couple of forums) no software is available for now excepts Android 4.4.2 (+upgrade) installation file.
To me it would be quite good to have Andr ver. 4.3(JB) on a device with 1GB RAM to obtain better performance and to have onlocked some options that are blocked on E3 with Andr4.4.2 :/
Am I right that there is no possiblity to install some general 4.3. version for Xperia E series and it must be a version designed for E3 only? Is it possible that there will be no other version available than 4.4.2 for that model??
Thanks in advance for any relpy and help on my issue
BEST wishes to all members!
No.. There's no other firmware for xperia e3 based on JB.. We are on the first firmware based on KK. There's no way to downgrade. You cannot flash any other model's firmware on your e3.. But you can give it a try by porting the firmware of any other xperia having same processor.Btw there are no performance issues.. It's great on kk and according to my experience kk is better compared to jb. And e3 might get 4.4.4 in near future but can't say..lollipop might also roll :good: :cyclops:

I'm living in Turkey and my Xperia M2 Dual device still running Jelly Bean 4.3
Today, Android 4.4.4 released for both devices (M2 & M2 Dual) most country and why we should force use 4.3 ? Why no update for "Dual" devices in these countries ?
I'm feeling bad about this. I'd pay same cost for M2 Dual as like M2 LTE.
What can I do?
you should look into flashing the phone manually for yourself. you can find the latest firmware for the D2302 and instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762296
Please i need your help. i want to upgrade my android version to 5.0 lollipop on my xperia e1. Please assist me with any custom ROM that i can use to run 5.0 on my device.
According to 【E1】 XPeria E1 (D2005) semi-official dev thread -flashing, hacking, rooting and all , there are Custom Lollipop Roms being worked on. Please review that thread for news on Stock update from Sony.

anyway... I think the Android 6.0 Marshmallow can be true :highfive:
I think we will need to build Android 5.1 since we have only 4GB of internal memory. Xperia M2 got LP 5.1 version and android system takes 3GB. LP is not that huge, but after Sony put all their stuffs it is. Thats the only reason why I am worried about update. Of course on some sites you can find that we will get marshmallow since we got developer preview. Xperia M2 also got developer preview for 6.0 and M2 users now have 5.1.
I have an idea how to fix camera and mobile data on 5.1, but I am not sure will it work and how long it will be until we get nice custom ROM.
According to jerpelea Sony is still working on this phone. So we can only wait for official or we can start making ROM and I am 100% sure that they will help us.

But they are not working on non lte variants
I am sure if you start learing now how to port it shouldnt be problem to port fully working ROM on other variants.

How To Port??? Tell Me. I will try to port cm12.1 to my non lte variant. Is there any step by step method available???
Sorry to give you the bad news guys, but here it goes: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/
My dad has an E3 so I guess he will remain on 4.4.4
Actually it's not that bad, since 5.0 made everything worse for Samsung and LG
Guys, the wait is useless now. See Sony official decision about no further updates on Xperia E3
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/
E3 died.
Great news, everyone!
Sony announced the list of devices for which the Android 6.0 binaries will be available and the Xperia E3 is present on that list.
In fact, all Sony devices which are using Qualcomm chipsets and were released from 2014 till now are present.
Even if having the binaries doesn't guarantee the presence of a fully working Marshmallow ROM for E3 at least Sony lend the developers a hand
So if anyone wants to try and cook a Marshmallow ROM for the E3 now has the chance to do it
I know the 4GB nand is a real problem and the main reason for not getting Lollipop (which isn't something that E3 misses because it's full of bugs and it lags even after almost one year from launch) but with Marshmallow we get FULL sd-card support so we can increase the internal memory partition using sd-cards.
I really believe that this is a good chance for us to get someting done for the E3.
I just hope that the devs will take a look on our device
The source link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...-binaries-added-to-sonys-open-device-program/
The link for the E3 binaries: http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/
Wish you all the best!:good:
So we need linux to develop marshmallow? I have downloaded the binaries but I have no idea how to do it. If someone could give me slight hint on how this works I might be able to work I guess.
Here you go:

http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-android-from-source
It should be enough to get started.
Maybe some other more experienced users will give a hand on this project.
Cheers!:good:

I saw that Xperia M2's Android version is Jelly Bean, but can be upgraded to Lollipop.
I want to buy a new Xperia M2 (don't ask me why), but I fear that since Xperia M2 is an old model, I still can't upgrade it to Lollipop (officially) anymore.
So, can I still upgrade the Android version of Xperia M2 if I buy a new one nowadays?
Thank you!

hey. i am a phone collector and i have a xperia m2. it comes with android 4.3 but can be upgraded to 5.1. important stuff: you have to flash the phone to upgrade it, since the servers are dead and i would not recomend using the phone on 5.1 since it uses up most of the phones space. my xperia m2 runs android 4.4 via cyanogenmod 11 smoothly, maybe even smoother than my main device. you can get the phone to work good via a android 5 rom but i would not recomend buying this phone as your main device.
