Z5 dual: will it receive the marshmallows update? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has Sony officially confirmed whether the dual-sim version of the Z5 will receive the marshmallows update? I have seen press releases about the Z5, but it's not clear to me if the dual-sim version is included, too. Thanks!

Yes it will

May I ask if you have noticed an official press release from Sony, or if it is just an educated guess?

Any dual SIM variant of a phone released by Sony sticks to the same update schedule of the single SIM variant. It will get Android M, don't worry.

Doesn't specifically mention dual sim variant but I assume Z5 listing indicates all variants.

Sony said that the update will release in the next 2 weeks, but I doubt it. We'll have to wait a little bit.

Just wait till the Lollipop goes for any Z3 including D6603 just somewhere like Russia,Brazil,Germany. In that time you'll see update for D6633 too. But now, there is only Lollipop update available for Baltic and northern Europe regions where there is no Dual Sim version sold
well i also read somewhere that they would not roll the update for the z3 dual variant due to dual sim bugs in lollipop. I dont know if it is true i just want my official lollipop and if not then hello cm12
Update is on the way
Small Xperia Z3 Dual update (23.0.1.F.0.102) rolling in Portugal :good:

Wow what a news :laugh: It was an update which was certified by PTCRB 3 weeks ago and there is nothing related to Lollipop update in it. Please for god's sake just post news that is about our membership in XDA :crying:
Hope there is lollipop for D6633
I contacted Sony people in Saudi Arabia because according to the IMEI number of my z3 dual its belongs form there. I bought off ebay.
They told me lollipop update is rolling out for entire z3 range so its "highly likely" (exact words used in the email) it will come out for Z3 dual d6633.
Thats what was informed to me... so hoping its correct otherwise the day Z4 dual is released I am switching
Hey guys
Anyone else any more updates on the eta for lollipop on d6633 devices?
No update anywhere regarding d6633 device with respect to lollipop update.
Thinking of biting the bullet bullet and flashing the other lollipop rom with raido patch.
Hello guys
I have sent an email to sony
Just got the reply
So what i have undestood is that the current lollipop update that have been released is only for the Z series in the UK. And there is NO Z3 dual in UK ( like released in UK ) . We should be getting the update for our z3 dual when the update starts rolling globally.
Did they tell you when it's going to happen? (the global upgrade).

No but it seems it gonna happen soon.
I asked Sony Mobile HK the following: "Any update on D6633 (Xperia Z3 Dual) getting Lollipop update?". Their response was: "currently we just launched the Android 5.0 update for Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Wifi version, the other models are on their way too, pls stay tuned."
Well,
I don't think it's a market question. I'm from Brazil and D6643 just received lollipop (23.1.A.0.690) from Oi BR. In the USA, D6603 just received lollipop too (Customized US - 23.1.A.0.690 / R4C). Both, USA and Brazil, for example, have D6633 in their market - and they're not the same as UK market. So, I think SONY has no plans of updating dual sim version right now. It's ridiculous all the Z series receives lollipop update before all the Z3 models.
PTCRB website showing certification for D6633 on 1 April with firmware number 23.1.1.E.0.1.

D6603 from Sony Store in US no Lollipop

I have a D6603 from the Sony Store running on AT&T. I still haven't received the Lollipop update OTA, or on Sony Companion. I don't want to push it through from XperiaFirmware, as I'm scared to brick it. Any reason why the OTA still hasn't come over?

Usually the service providers are slow to push updates, sometimes not at all. I am sure your device shall get the OTA but it would take a bit more time. Stay patient.
If you wish to flash Lollipop now, I suggest you do it with a flashtool. However, make sure you use device specific FTF or you will brick your phone.

Good Luck

The Z3 is unlocked from the Sony Store. AT&T doesn't even offer the phone so it shouldn't have to go through AT&T for them to push the update.

Are you rooted or on unlocked bootloader
What is your device's model number ?

Odd, I have every z3 variant from Sony.com ver to Japan docomo ver and other than the dual sim model, all are on most current 5.0 now...maybe try removing the sim and attempt update notice via wifi only?
I update all of mine with no sim.

Do you have to leave the SIM card out for a long period of time? I left it out for an hour or so, no update, and tried connecting to Sony Companion with no SIM and still nothing.

Flash a 6.0 FTF from a region with the OTA update, then you will receive the 7.0 OTA update.

You should not have, and you can always flash back if you have issues.

All XZ's have the same stack of worldwide antennas, so customizations differs only in numbers of themes and potential bloatware. Just go ahead and use any of European ones, if you are not sure
Thanks for answer!

Xperia xa ultra nougat update

When will the Xperia XA Ultra get the nougat update?
My Friend got an Xperia XA which had nougat in the box and I'm curious why my phone hasn't had any OTA updates.

Ask the manufacturer, XDA has nothing to do with when your device gets a stock update.
Also, updates are controlled by your carrier. Do you and your friend have service with the same mobile carrier? If your network is different than his then it means his carrier has the update but yours doesnt.
Sent from my SM-S903VL using Tapatalk
I guessing it must have been the New XA-1 which ur friend got which comes with Nougat, Cause old XA is yet to receive Nougat. I Am using the same Old XA and waiting too :crying: And best guess it's gonna roll in June, like 60% sure it'll be in Early or Mid June, cause i had Xperia M4 aqua last year, it was supposed to receive Marshmellow in March but it landed in June so guessing it's kinda the same case here too.. everyone was expecting it in March no news yet.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium F8332 Dual Sim Android 9 ROM

I attempted to flash my Sony Xperia XZ Premium F8332 Dual Sim with the Androxyde Sony Mobile Flasher to upgrade to Android 9, but it failed. I attempted to use the Android 9 ROM for the dual sim model G8142, release 47.2.A.10.107.
There does not seem to be any compatible "official" ROMs that will allow me to upgrade to Android 9 with this method. I'm also open to custom ROMs, TWRP, etc. I prefer to use Android 9 over 8 (minus bloatware) if possible, but close to stock.
Is there a technical reason that the firmware for Sony XZ Premium model G8142, release 47.2.A.10.107, would not work for this model?
I apologize in advance if this issue has already been addressed, but I did not find another thread that addresses this specifically. Thank you.

Well, in the first sentence you said you have an xz premium, but gave the xz model number.
The XZ never got a pie update, the XZ premium did.
