[Q] Upgrading to ICS on rooted Xperia LWW

Hi all
I have a Sony Xperia Live With Walkman (WT19i)
And Sony is releasing an update to ICS which I would
Like to get but I have recently used the Easy Root Toolkit
To root my device which also has the option to un'root
Can I directly upgrade to ICS with my gingerbread rooted or
Should I un'root my device first?
I don't want to damage or brick my device
Thanks

Z2 camera apps for xperia L

[Q] Andr4.4.2 downgrading on E3

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:

You should learn a lot about Android before moving on to install custom ROMs (there are Nougat custom ROMs for Z3).
Unlocking Bootloader and rooting should be an easy one to achieve for you. If not, Google those things or search on XDA. If you rather just jump in and flash anything you think is good, you will end up with a near-dead device.

Not sure if trolling or serious.....
There's loads of Z3 Nougat AOSP and CAF ROMs now here in the forums....
Just take the time to read about unlocking bootloader and the effect this will have on your camera quality and warranty (which I don't think anyone has now).
They are worth taking the time to learn about.
But as said if you just dive into it you will almost certainly brick your phone and not know how to repair the software.
Do so at your own risk.

Can I still upgrade the Android version if I buy a new Xperia M2 now?

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.
